I nominated for my "better-then-Himan-movie": Grosse Pointe Blank. A hitman movie, and a romantic-comedy. It stars John Cusack, and Dan Aykroyd as hitmen. Plus it has a few others in it....
Some quotes:
John Cusack: "Don't you think that maybe you're just upset because I told you what I do for a living, and you got upset and you're letting it interfere with our dynamic?"
Psychiatrist: "Whoa. Martin. You didn't tell me what you did for a living...."
John Cusack: "Yes, I did!"
Psychiatrist: "You didn't tell me what you did for a living for four sessions. Then you told me. And I said, 'I don't want to work with you any more.' And yet, you come back each week at the same time. That's a difficulty for me. On top of that, if you've committed a crime or you're thinking about committing a crime, I have to tell the authorities."
John Cusack: "I know the law, okay? But I don't want to be withholding; I'm very serious about this process....and I know where you live."
Psychiatrist: "Oh, now see? That wasn't a nice thing to say; that wasn't designed to make me feel good. That's a...kind of a... not too subtle intimidation, and I...uh, get filled with anxiety when you talk about something like that."
John Cusack: "Come on, come on. I was just kidding, all right? The thought never crossed my mind."
Psychiatrist: "You did think of it, Martin! You thought it, and then you said it. And now, I'm left with the aftermath of that, thinking I gotta be creative in a really interesting way or Martin's gonna blow my brains out! You're holding me hostage. That's not right."
"A thousand innocent people get killed every day! But a millionaire's pet gets detonated, and you're marked for life."
"I should have worn a skirt."
"I should have brought my gun."
"What was that?"
"Should be fun!"
"They all have husbands and wives, and children, and houses, and dogs, and, you know, they've all made themselves a part of something and they can talk about what they do. What am I gonna say? 'I killed the president of Paraguay with a fork. How've you been?'"
"You got any ideas how you wanna wax this guy?"
"Can't you just say 'kill'? Ya always gotta romanticize it."
"You're a psychopath!"
"No, no. Psychopaths kill for no reason. I kill for money. It's a job...that didn't come out right."
So, anyone else care to share a nomination?
