along and knocked my wind out. It's
got me up nights, that's the truth.
The right decision. Sometimes it's
hard to figure out what that is.
You understand?
Think hard, Tommy. If I'm gonna

Narrator:
"February 14, 1929-
the year of the black bottle,
six-day bicycle races...
flagpole sitting, and the first flight
from Paris to New York.
Mickey Mouse
makes his screen debut...
and Herbert Hoover is inaugurated
as the 31st President with the words...
'We in America today are nearer
to the final triumph over poverty...
than ever before in any land.'
Six months later, the New York
stock market will crash...
and bring about the greatest
depression in world history."

"It hurts me to leave
without saying good-bye...
...but I best be movin' on.
...when I came to you, my heart was heavy.
It's a loud, noisy world we live in...
...and sometimes we lose our way.
But if were lucky...
...the good Lord sends
someone to bring us home.
Make no never mind about it.
Loving people is hard work.
And families-
With all those lives mixin' together...
...it gets kinda scary.
But if we grab hold of
each other and hold on-
There's nothin' more
beautiful in the world.
You angels are my heart,
and I'll never forget you.
And keep a lookout.
You never know when
Big Momma might be back."

Ron Howard:
"His name was J.B. Books,
and he had
a matched pair of. 45s
with antique ivory grips
that were something
to behold...
but he wasn't
an outlaw.
Fact is,
for a while,
he was a lawman.
Long before I met Mr. Books,
he was a famous man.
I guess his fame was
why somebody or other
was always after him.
The wild country
had taught him to survive.
He lived his life
and herded by himself.
He had a credo
that went...
'I won't be
wronged...'"

"Alabama Whitman-Worley"/Patricia Arquette:
"I had to come all the
way from the highways and byways
of Tallahassee, Florida...
to Motor City, Detroit,
to find my true love.
If you gave me a million years
to ponder, I would never have guessed
that true romance and Detroit would ever go together.
And to this day, the events that
followed all seem like a distant dream.
But the dream was real and was
to change our lives forever.
I kept asking Clarence why our world
seemed to be collapsing...
and everything seemed so shitty,
and he'd say,
'That's the way it goes.
But don't forget:
It goes the other way too.'
That's the way romance is.
Usually, that's the way it goes.
But every once in a while,
it goes the other way too."
-True Romance- (1993)

Coach George Halas/Jack Warden:
"Brian Piccolo died of cancer at the age of 26. He left a wife and three daughters. He also left a great many loving friends who miss and think of him often. But when they think of him, it's not how he died that they remember - but rather how he lived. How he did live!"
-Brian's Song- (1971)
*********
"Abraham Lincoln"/Benjamin Walker:
"History prefers legends to men.
It prefers nobility to brutality.
Soaring speeches to quiet deeds.
History remembers the battle
and forgets the blood.
Whatever history remembers of me,
if it remembers anything at all,
it shall only be
a fraction of the truth.
For whatever else I am,
a husband, a lawyer,
a president,
I shall always think
of myself as a man
who struggled against darkness."
-Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter- (2012)

"Charlie's"/Jesse Eisenberg's voice:
"Danny called the cops.
We found out "Mick"/Jason Ritter was lying.
Louis Kennet didn't have a gun.
But Mick got away.
He jumped in the river, let it
sweep him south back toward the city.
And he disappeared
into the underworld.
I've always thought
that night at the marina
was truly Mick's
graduation ceremony.
I mean, he showed mercy
for the first and maybe
the only time in his life."

Narrator:
"He was a living man who became a
mythic God, and nothing can change that.

"So he told you
That your the dream
That he's been searching for
And he told you
That he'd never met
Anyone like you before
And I can hear him telling you
Your lips taste just
Like cherry wine
But did he tell you
That he is known as
Johnny One Time?
Did he tell you that your heart
Would soon become another trinket on his bracelet
Of broken hearts?
Did he tell you that the morning sun
Would find you patching up your shattered pride and
Searching for the missing part
Did he tell you that the special love your saving
Will disappear in flames of shame like mine
Did he tell you
That he is known as
Johnny One Time?
So, he told you
That he'd never lead
Your heart astray
And he told you
That he'd love you
Forever and a day
And I can hear him telling you
That he's the shy and bashful kind
But did he tell you
That he is known as
Johnny One Time?
Oh, Did he tell you that your heart
Would soon become another trinket on his bracelet
Of broken hearts
And did he tell you that the morning sun
Will find you patching up your shattered pride
And searching for the missing part
Did he tell you that the special love your saving
Will disappear in flames of shame like mine
Oh, Did he tell you
That he is known as
Johnny One Time?
Did he tell you that your heart
Would soon become another trinket on his bracelet
Of broken hearts?
Did he tell you that the morning sun
Will find you patching up your shattered pride
And searching for the missing part
Oh, did he tell you that the special love your saving
Will disappear in flames of shame like mine
Did he tell you that he is known as
Johnny One Time?"

"Agent Flood":
"You don't read the papers much, do you, smart guy? In New York, we've got a wonderful thing called the Rockefeller Laws. You had a kilo in your sofa. That kind of weight makes it an A1 felony. 15 years to life minimum for a first offense. Now with that much spread in the sentencing guidelines, the judges take their cues from the prosecutors. So if the prosecutors wife busted his chops that morning, you're fucked. You're gone for good."

"And while you're at it,

Try seven years

"Monty":
"So picture this --
first night, lights out.
Guards are moving out
of the space, looking back over their
shoulders, laughing at me.
You are miles from home.
Door closes, boom --
I'm on the floor,
I got some big guy's knee
in my back. I can give it a little go, but
there will be too many of them.
Someone takes a pipe out
from under a mattress,
starts beating me
in the face -- not to hurt me,
just to knock
all my teeth out
so I can give him head
all night, and they don't have to worry
about me biting."
*********
"Uncle Nikolai": "This is my advice to you: When you get there, figure it out who's who. Find the man nobody's protecting. A man without friends. And beat him until his eyes bleed. Let them think you are little bit crazy, but respectful, too. Respectful of the right men."
"Uncle Nikolai": "I have been in three different prisons, Montgomery. Three different countries. And you know what I learned? I learned prison is a bad place to be."
"Uncle Nikolai": "I tattooed 'survive' on my hand the night before I went away to prison. And I did. We do what we have to do to survive."

"Take the GW Bridge
and go west. Get you stitched up
somewhere and keep going. Find a nice little town.
On the way, stop in Chicago for a Cubs game.
You always told me you wanted to see Wrigley Field."

"Monty":
"Dad..."

"Monty's father":
"I'm saying
that if you want it...
if that's what you want,
I'll do it."

"Monty"":
"No, they'd take your bar."

"Monty's father":
"My bar. Jesus. My bar.
They can take my bar
to hell and back.
You think my bar is more
important to me than you,
my only child?
Give me the word,
and we'll go."
---
"Monty":
"They'll find me.
They'll find me
sooner or later."
---
"Monty's father":
"You know how they find people?
They find them
when they come home.
People run away,
but they usually come back.
That's when they get caught.
So you go...
and you never come back.
You never come home.
We'll drive.
We'll keep driving..."
