In the vein of my tipsy ramblings last night . . .

Some favorite entertainment quotes:

"What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?" (John Cusack, opening lines of High Fidelity)

"I would rather have a goddam horse. A horse is at least human for God's sake." (Holden Caufield, The Catcher in the Rye)

"Sleep tight, ya morons!" (Holden Caufield, The Catcher in the Rye)

"Try to guess what I am now. I'm a zit. Get it?" (John Belushi, Animal House)

[running after Flagg as he flees the house] "Edwin, you forgot your money!" (Bette Davis, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?)

"Shit." (Elliot Gould, upon watching the bridge his troops were supposed to cross and THEN blow up get blown up by the enemy in A Bridge Too Far)

" I don't know if we've got the heir to the Thorn millions here or Jesus Christ Himself. " (British photographer Keith Jennings, The Omen)

"Call me Ishmael." (Herman Melville, Moby Dick)

Arthur: Do you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to take a bath.
Hobson: I'll alert the media.
Arthur: Do you want to run my bath for me?
Hobson: It's what I live for. [Arthur exits]
Hobson: Perhaps you would like me to wash your dick for you, too, you little shit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arthur: Oh, stay with me, Hobson. You know I hate to be alone.
Hobson: Yes, bathing is a lonely business.
Arthur: Except for fish.
Hobson: Pardon? Did you say "except for fish"?
Arthur: Yes... fish all bathe together. Though they do tend to eat one another. I often think fish must get awfully tired of sea food. What are you thoughts, Hobson?

Arthur: Hobson, do you know what the worst thing is about being me?
Hobson: I should imagine your breath. (Dudley Moore and Sir John Gielguid, Arthur)

"Thank you for a memorable afternoon, usually one must go to a bowling alley to meet a woman of your stature. " (Sir John Gielguid, Arthur)

"Yes... You obviously have a wonderful economy with words, Gloria. I look forward to your next syllable with great eagerness. " (Sir John Gielguid, Arthur)

"Not all of us who drink are poets. Some of us drink because we're not poets." (Dudley Moore , Arthur)

I just realized, I could spend months on this post. Better to let it simmer.
