Casablanca

"My heart should be well schooled
'Cause I've been fooled
Oh I've been fooled by you in the past."

— Sammy Cahn, lyrics to the standard "I Fall In Love Too Easily"

Victor Laszlo: "I know a good deal more about you than you suspect. I know, for instance, that you're in love with a woman. It is perhaps a strange circumstance that we both should be in love with the same woman. The first evening I came to this café, I knew there was something between you and Ilsa. Since no one is to blame, I - I demand no explanation. I ask only one thing. You won't give me the letters of transit: all right, but I want my wife to be safe. I ask you as a favor, to use the letters to take her away from Casablanca."

Casablanca

"So What?"

"One, two, one two three, HIT IT!!!!"

Incidentally, it's very difficult to practice clapping and metronome stuff at your place without it sounding like a special private moment. Which I assure you, it is not.

Rick: "You love her that much?"
Laszlo: "Apparently you think of me only as the leader of a cause. Well, I'm also a human being. Yes, I love her that much."

Ferrari: "What do you want for Sam?"
Rick: "I don't buy or sell human beings."
Ferrari: "Too bad. That's Casablanca's leading commodity. With refugees alone we can make a fortune if you work with me through the black market."
Rick: "Suppose you run your business and let me run mine."

Casablanca

"Oh, no, Miss Elsie, I don't think I can remember that one."

— Casablanca

Casablanca

—Jackie Brown

Woman: "What makes saloonkeepers so snobbish?"
Banker: "Perhaps if you told him I ran the second-largest banking house in Amsterdam."

Banker: "We have something to look forward to."

Casablanca

"You want some breakfast, or do you already know how to do that, too?"

— The Sting

Rick: "When it comes to women, you're a true democrat."

Casablanca

"Except you gotta do it right. I mean, you gotta have the hole already dug before you show up with a package in the trunk. Otherwise, you're talking about a half-hour or forty-five minutes of digging. And who knows who's gonna be coming along in that time? Before you know it, you gotta dig a few more holes. You could be here all fucking night."

—Casino goddamned fucking assholes who print shit like wikiquotes fucking bastards, they never get the fucking quotes right, it's like they're fucking retarded or handicapped or something or don't fucking speak the fucking English shit mother fuckers.

Rick: "If it's December 1941 in Casablanca, what time is it in New York?"

Rick: "I'd bet they're asleep in New York. I'd bet they're asleep all over America."

Casablanca

"There are eight million stories in the Naked City. You have just seen one of them." —the Jules Dassin movie The Naked City (I think they used that line in the TV show spinoff, but I've never seen the TV show...and I might have remembered the line wrong...but it's close).

— my XOR encryption written on a piece of company scrip to be paid tomorrow on a "double or nothing" bet (which I lost). I'm pretty sure it decodes to "Amazon sucks a dog's dick," but I don't remember the XOR "key" I chose, and since I did it by hand, I could have easily made a mistake.

It could well "decode" to whatever you want, depending on how thick you want your distribution of consonants and vowels, I guess.

I prefer to think I did it right, but that took me quite a while with pencil and paper.

ETA Oh, that's just in hexadecimal divided up into bytes, and the target plaintext is 7-bit ASCII, padded with a "0" as the MSB (eeta, "most significant bit" is what that means. Like how in the number 1999, the most significant numeral is the "1," because, you know, reasons. never mind). eeeta, Oh, I see I used the key B7₁₆, or 1011 0111₂ but good luck to that dink trying to figure that out.

Yeah, good luck.

I knew there was a reason people invented computers!

Oh, and putting it in hexadecimal is not being a dick: trust me, you don't want to look at hundreds of zeroes and ones for more than a few seconds, no matter how good at "reading" you are. It's a million times easier doing anything but that. Or, like a gazillion times easier. Whatever. Trust me, nobody wants to read the several binary representations of large or small numbers, let alone some puny seven-bit code, unless for the satisfaction of doing a quick check on what the mantissa or whatever is.

So, "Amazon sucks a dog's dick."

— unknown origin, possibly a llama, a jackal, or a Batman

Um... ok.

Peter Handcock: [standing on a table] "There once was a lad from Australia who painted his ass like a dahlia. The color was fine and likewise the design, but the aroma - whew! - that was a failure."

Breaker Morant

"One of two things may happen during this scene, and in either case I apologize."

— some apocryphal phrase said by a male actor to his female partner before shooting a "love scene" in the movies

Sentry: "Do you want the padre?"
Harry Morant: "No, thank you. I'm a pagan."
Sentry: "And you?"
Peter Handcock: "What's a pagan?"
Harry Morant: "Well... it's somebody who doesn't believe there's a divine being dispensing justice to mankind."
Peter Handcock: "I'm a pagan, too."

Breaker Morant

"Fire in the hole! Traffic on lanes one and two, coming in hot!"

—unnamed warehouse laborer at an undisclosed location (effective and humorous, I must say).

Harry Morant: "There is an epitaph I'd like: Matthew 10:36. Well, Peter... this is what comes of 'empire building.'"
