In Mexico, when we want to speak deep secrets, we drink pulgue together. It is a drink made from the cactus plant, and when you take the bottle from your mouth, it leaves a string behind, between the mouth and the bottle, like a spider's web. It show...
Randal Graves: [getting Gawking Guy's attention from watching Dante and Emma make out behind the counter] Avert your eyes, ya' perv! Gawking Guy: Not very hygienic. That's all I'm gonna tell you.
Night Porter: [to Treves] Only Mothershead can sack me now. [unknown to the night porter, Mothershead is behind him, she who proceeds to clobber him over the head, rendering him unconscious] Mothershead: [in a satisfied voice] Done!
Marv: [as they follow behind Kevin, he suddenly runs] Why is he going faster? Harry: See, I told you something was wrong. See I knew he looked at me weird. Why would he run?
Beaumont: Won't he hear us? Seaman Jones: Not if we stay in his baffles, Seaman Beaumont. Not if we stay in his baffles. Come up right behind his propellor and he'll be deaf as a post!
Clarissa Vaughn: He came out behind me. He put his hand on my shoulder..."Good morning, Mrs. Dalloway." From then on I've been stuck. Louis Waters: Stuck? Clarissa Vaughn: Yep. With the name, I mean.
Keith Frazier: Alright, I've got them right where I want 'em. Det. Bill Mitchell: Where's that? Keith Frazier: Right behind me with my pants around my ankles, but it's a start.
Dog: I'll find you... I'll find you. Bacon: 'Course you will sweetheart! [Ties Dog's hands behind him] Dog: I'll find you. Bacon: What d'you think this is? Fucking hide and seek?
Grandmother Fa: [to Cri-Kee] This is your chance to prove yourself. [Covers eyes and steps into traffic] Fa Li: Grandma, no! [Grandmother crosses the road unharmed, leaving a massive cart pile-up behind her] Grandmother Fa: Yup, this cricket's a luck...
Policeman: Why are you running? Marjane as a teenager: I'm late for my class! Policeman: Maybe, but you mustn't run. When you run, your behind moves around in an obscene way. Marjane as a teenager: [angry] Then stop staring at my ass!
Colonel Sebastian Moran: [watching something moving behind a cover] What are you playing at? [cover falls off to reveal a cannon aimed at him] Colonel Sebastian Moran: ...That's not fair.

When I arrived in America, I experienced serious culture shock. For someone with a religious upbringing, the 1960s were an extremely difficult time. Even though religion was a big part of the civil rights and peace movements, in my college religion w...
It could be that all awful dictators are frustrated artists - Mao with his poetry and Mussolini with his monuments. Stalin was once a journalistic hack, and I can personally testify to how frustrated they are. Pol Pot left a very edgy photo collectio...
Math and science fields are not the only areas where we see the United States lagging behind. Less than 1 percent of American high school students study the critical foreign languages of Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Russian, combined.
The President's call for more math and science students is not being heeded by his party's leaders in Congress. They are cutting over $10 billion from student aide while refusing to fully fund No Child Left Behind. Something doesn't add up.
I know publishing now more as an author than with occasional peaks inside those elite offices than as an industry insider. It was difficult publishing a novel the first time around, while working behind the scenes, knowing all that has to happen to m...
