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."
-The St. Valentine's Day Massacre- (1967)

"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."
"Big Momma" - (Martin Lawrence)

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...'"
-The Shootist- (1976)

Ready?"

"You'll be killed. You know that?"

"Please, don't do it."

"Hey, you bastards, I'm still here!"

Narrator:
"Papillon made it to freedom.
And for the remaining years of his life
he lived a free man.
This, the infamous penal system
in French Guiana...
...did not survive him."
-Papillon- (1973)

"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."
-The Education of Charlie Banks- (2007)

Narrator:
"He was a living man who became a
mythic God, and nothing can change that.
He will be a symbol of baseball as long
as baseball is played.
To me the Babe is still alive. He truly is
like Shakespeare, he'll never die."
-HBO Sports - Babe Ruth- (1998)
