Melancholy

CLAIRE:
I want you to get into the deep beautiful melancholy of everything that's happened.

Elizabethtown, Cameron Crowe (2005).

Squints

Michael Squints Palledorous walked a little taller that day. And we had to tip our hats to him. He was lucky she hadn't beat the CRAP out of him. We wouldn't have blamed her. What he'd done was sneaky, rotten, and low... and cool. Not another one among us would have ever in a million years even for a million dollars have the guts to put the moves on the lifeguard. He did. He had kissed a woman. And he had kissed her long and good. We got banned from the pool forever that day. But every time we walked by after that, the lifeguard looked down from her tower, right over at Squints, and smiled.

The Sandlot (1993).

Freeze.

Have you ever crossed the road, and looked the wrong way? A car's nearly on you? So what do you do? Something very silly. You freeze. Your life doesn't flash before you, 'cause you're too fuckin' scared to think - you just freeze and pull a stupid face. But the pikey didn't. Why? Because he had plans of running the car over.

Snatch, Guy Ritchie (1998).

Sofisticación

- Alright -said the computer and settled into the silence again. The two men fidgeted. The tension was unbearable.
- You're really not going to like it -observed Deep Thought.
- Tell us!
- Alright, -said Deep Thought- the Answer to the Great Question ...
- Yes!
- Of Life, the Universe and Everything...-said Deep Thought.
- Yes...!
- Is...-said Deep Thought and paused.
- Yes...!
- Is...
- Yes...!!!...?
- Forty two -said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.
