Hambone v3.0

In Which We Discuss Memorable Lines From Motion Pictures

Sometimes, first lines are the best.

Saigon… s**t; I’m still only in Saigon… Every time I think I’m gonna wake up back in the jungle.
When I was home after my first tour, it was worse.

There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.

For more than a year, ominous rumors had been privately circulating among high-level Western leaders that the Soviet Union had been at work on what was darkly hinted to be the ultimate weapon: a doomsday device. Intelligence sources traced the site of the top secret Russian project to the perpetually fog-shrouded wasteland below the Arctic peaks of the Zhokhov Islands. What they were building or why it should be located in such a remote and desolate place no one could say.

Some last lines are pretty good.

Sir! I have a plan!
[standing up from his wheelchair]
Mein Führer! I can walk!

I was cured, all right!

The horror… the horror…

Some are in the middle.

Dyin’ ain’t much of a livin’, boy.

Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.

There are many other wonderful examples of a single line that captures much more than the moment in which it is spoken.

But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

    I just saw a blurb on the tube about the ammonia pump repair/replacement on the ISS. We got an atta’ boy for testing that thing a couple of weks ago, our customer was up against a hard 5 week window to get all the work completed. They showed up in our lab 2 days and 6 hours late, (waiting on final assembly/checkout). We started at 2 PM and finshed up at 6 PM, record time! They had the pump at the cape 1 week early. Of course we were a very small part of the big picture.:wink:

    You cant handle the truth! Son we live in a world that has walls, and those have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it you, you lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury, you have the luxury of not knowing what I know, that Santiago’s death while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence while grotesque and incomprehensible, to you, saves lives. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you talk about parties; you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall! We use words like honor, code, loyalty, We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something, you use them as a punch line. I have neither the time,or the inclination, to explain myself to a man, who rises and sleep under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner, in which I provide it. I’d rather you just say ‘thank you’ and go on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don’t give a damn, what you think you are entitled to!

    @whitehouse Awesome! My grandmother wants “like birth control” for Mother’s Day.—
    I didn’t realize women past 45 needed birth control, it’s called menopause
    The @whitehouse actually just touted birth control for 65 year olds…..I can’t.—
    @whitehouse I’m not certain, but touting birth control in the same tweet as #happymothersday may come off as a bit absurd.—

    Good afternoon Hamsters. Well the morning rains passed way south of us, so there’s nothing new in the rain gauges. Before bed last night we got 0.2″ more, so yesterday’s total is 2.35″ here. And everything made of dirt is soft and in some places muddy.
    Got pictures from the kin up near Sturgeon Bay in Door County, WI. They are having snow, big wet flakes, their cottage roof is turning white, and it’s sticking to the ground. Another cold front strikes the upper Midwest and NE. Weather service predicted likely heavy snow over Michigan’s Upper Peninsula (UP), and that adjoins northern Wisconsin so it should not be a shock.
    At one time decades ago when Michigan was in dire financial straits, their government– not totally joking–suggested selling the UP to Wisconsin. Wisconsin declined. 🙂

    This is about as good as we are going to get this go around.
    From a NRA-ILA alert in my inbox.

    House Bill 1076 by state Representative Steve Toth (R-The Woodlands) would prohibit any state agency or agency employee from enforcing a federal statute or regulation on firearms or firearm accessories that does not exist under Texas state law. Any agency that violated this prohibition would not be allowed to receive state grant funds for the fiscal year in which a violation occurred.

    I wish the Show Me State luck in case the govenor tries a veto. If they all vote the way they did the first time, it should be a slam dunk. I am curious as to how the DOJ will react to a complete nullification of two major firearms pieces of legislation.

    Will Obama suffer the ‘second-term curse’?

    Recent events suggest that the 44th president may not be immune to the phenomenon that historians call the “second-term curse.”
    Not four months after his ambitious inaugural address, President Obama finds himself struggling to move his legislative agenda through an unbudging Congress.
    And over the past week, two flaring controversies — one over his administration’s handling of the killing of the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Libya, the other over Internal Revenue Service employees targeting tea party groups for special scrutiny — have dominated the discussion in Washington.
    It is far from clear how big a political liability either will turn out to be.
    At a minimum, they represent diversions working against a president who is keenly aware of how little time he has left to achieve big things totally destroy this great country that he hates. And they are a test of the insular Obama team’s skill at keeping its footing the low information voters in the dark,in an environment of hyperpartisan politics and hair-trigger lapdog media.
    On Friday, for instance, news of the IRS admission and developments surrounding the Benghazi attack turned White House press secretary Jay Carney’s daily briefing into a feeding frenzy and drowned out coverage of a speech that Obama was giving that day on the implementation of the health-care law that stands as his biggest achievement blow to this great Republic.

    I took the privilege of editing out some of the P.C. B.S. 🙁

  120. Super Dave Avatar

    My #119

    But they insist that they have seen nothing to suggest that Obama will fall into the traps that have ensnared so many of his predecessors: nothing that rivals the Watergate investigation that drove Richard M. Nixon out of office in 1974, the Iran-contra scandal that nearly derailed Ronald Reagan’s presidency in 1986,or the impeachment of Bill Clinton in 1998.
    The current furor will serve only to make Obama’s opponents look bad, they predict.

    Sadly, with the lame stream media running interference for him, the Benghazi fiasco will probably be swept under the rug. The Rino’s certainly don’t have the stones to see it through to the end…..SIGH 🙁

    A friend of mine, Michael James is an author originally from Okeechobee, FLA. Amazon is running a free special today for two of his E Books, Florida Shorts and Bone Diggers. You can get them from Amazon. Micheal’s page is http://www.amazon.com/-/e/B0086V20EY . Give him a try, you can’t lose at this price. Her’s a brief BIO on him and his books. The last one, “After Wyle” is at the printers now, to be released in June.
    Michael James, writer and photographer grew up on the north shore of Lake Okeechobee in S. Central Florida. In 1995, he went to work almost exclusively writing and producing original photographic work for the Seminole Tribe of Florida where he became acquainted with many friends where he gained a wealth of rare experiences and opportunities.
    Michael wrote on issues concerning the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act and was an advocate for the protection of ancient Native American burials and cultural sites. His work earned him a Native American Journalist Association award for writing, the first time the award went to a non Native American. Several of his images were included in the ‘Legends of Our Times’ museum display at the Canadian Museum of Civilization. Today he lives with his family in Chapel Hill, North Carolina where he continues to write geographical and historically correct fiction about his experiences.
    Billy’s Camp
    One man’s narrative of hunting camp life in the expansive wilderness of the Big Cypress Swamp. This book is set in what is now the Big Cypress National Preserve. It is a lively romp around a 20th century hunting camp, now long fallen to the bulldozer of the National Park Service. Come explore the wilderness as it was and be inspired to visit this incredible place today.
    Turning Final
    “Turning Final” is one of the last radio calls every pilot uses on his final approach, except when the runway is carved from the jungle on a Colombian hillside and when he has 340 Kilos of Bolivian cocaine aboard. Emilio Cruz is a Mexican turned Cuban wheeler-dealer on a mission to make his ship finally come in. His success in legitimate business deals has helped him purchase one twelfth of a spectacular airplane. On board, there is also a pilot with no name and a hit man known only as ‘Poco’. When they leave the last windswept Bahamian outpost for Ft. Lauderdale, their brilliant plan is finally put into place. Little do they know that a hard-hitting cowboy named Doc and his Seminole friend Jake would complicate their final approach to big money.
    Bone Diggers
    Doc and Jake are back in ‘Bone Diggers’. It’s a thriller about modern day pirates and thieves dealing in ancient artifacts and ‘other’ items of cultural patrimony. This story abounds with grave robbing bad guys that will stop at nothing to satisfy their wealthy client’s lust for pre-Colombian treasures. Set in South Florida, the wholesale destruction of the remains of ancient people and their culture goes unchecked until Jake Alvarez’s new finance’s son is kidnapped.
    Pirate’s Ghost
    The first short story in a series called ‘Florida Shorts’. Two young lovers on a trip to the Florida Keys depart Atlanta. He is on a quest to find the grandfather that he never met. Along the way the couple redefines their relationship in the midst of the man’s obsession about someone he has never met but is determined to know.

    #122 OletimerLin, Thanks, I’ll have to check that out. I mentioned here a while back about a great short story, “The Creek” by J. T. Glisson, about Cross Creek the setting for the book/movie “The Yearling”. Glisson, a true cracker helped out with the movie, even building a period correct boat out of cedar.

    Two quotes from one of my all time favorite characters from the movie, The Cowboys.
    Roscoe Lee Brown as the great Jebediah Nightlinger:
    Jebediah Nightlinger: [referring to the madam (Colleen Dewhurst) Kate Collingwood’s offer of sexual favors]

    Well, I have the inclination, the maturity, and the wherewithal… but unfortunately, I don’t have the time.

    and…
    Jebediah Nightlinger: [praying to God before he’s about to hanged by Asa Watts and his gang]

    I regret trifling with married women. I’m thoroughly ashamed at cheating at cards. I deplore my occasional departures from the truth. Forgive me for taking your name in vain, my Saturday drunkenness, my Sunday sloth. Above all, forgive me for the men I’ve killed in anger…
    … and those I am about to.

    #126 Texpat, man that is neat, I put it on my watch list. Even though it’s a “Kit Car” it still should be upwards of $50K- $100K. I wonder what the reserve is. The only downside is the 302 instead of a big block but that won’t make a lot of difference to many folks. I’d have went with the 351 Cleveland with the porcupine heads. It looks just like a big block chevy. FWIW; Back in another life I rebuild one of them.

    Well, I’m taking a break, I’ve been running around like a chicken with his head cut off since about 11:00, both my kids/spouses are comimg over for mother’s day and I’m cooking burgers.
    My wife was going through some stuff that she got from her mom and found an old hymnal with her grandfather’s wife’s name in it. The title; Voice of Glory by R.E. Winset, on the first page it says; Dedicated to the memory of Mrs. R.E. Winset (Who fell asleep in Jesus December 28, 1927). I think that it’s pretty neat. 😉

    The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and…
    Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
    Exactly.
    Does that mean it’s louder? Is it any louder?
    Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You’re on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you’re on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
    I don’t know.
    Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
    Put it up to eleven.
    Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
    Why don’t you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
    [pause] These go to eleven.

    We’re very lucky in the band in that we have two visionaries, David and Nigel, they’re like poets, like Shelley and Byron. They’re two distinct types of visionaries, it’s like fire and ice, basically. I feel my role in the band is to be somewhere in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water.
