  1. [Bill/David Carradine:]
    What Kent wears, the glasses, the business suit... that's the costume that Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent? He's weak, he's unsure of himself, he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race.

    --Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004). Screenplay by Quentin Tarantino.

    (From "The New Yale Book of Quotations”, Fred R. Shapiro, 2020)

  2. Rick to Ilsa (Humphrey Bogart to Ingrid Bergman):
    "...the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that."

    Ilsa:
    I know you were just using a figure of speech—but I wonder what a hill of beans IS worth.

    Rick:
    In THIS economy? Well, let’s see… If the hill was 20 feet high…and made of navy beans…I’d say about $7.8k. $3-4Million for primo coffee beans.

    J. Algernon Hawthorne: Against it? I should be positively astounded to hear anything that could be said FOR it. Why the whole bloody place is the most unspeakable matriarchy in the whole history of civilization! Look at yourself! The way your wife and her strumpet of a mother push you through the hoop! As far as I can see, American men have been totally emasculated- they're like slaves! They die like flies from coronary thrombosis while their women sit under hairdryers eating chocolates & arranging for every 2nd Tuesday to be some sort of Mother's Day! And this positively infantile preoccupation with bosoms. In all time in this wretched Godforsaken country, the one thing that has appalled me most of all this this prepostrous preoccupation with bosoms. Don't you realize they have become the dominant theme in American culture: in literature, advertising and all fields of entertainment and everything. I'll wager you anything you like that if American women stopped wearing brassieres, your whole national economy would collapse overnight.
