[Biff has chased Marty to the roof of a building] Biff Tannen: Go ahead, kid! Jump! A suicide will be nice and neat. Marty McFly: What if I don't? [Biff points gun at Marty] Biff Tannen: Lead poisoning.
[at a weapons checkpoint, Strickland holds a shotgun on Tannen] Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen: Marshall Strickland. I didn't know you was back in town. Marshall Strickland: If you can't read the sign, Tannen, I presume you can read THIS.
Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen: Listen up, Eastwood! I aim to shoot somebody today and I'd prefer it'd be you. But if you're just too damn yella, I guess it'll just have to be your blacksmith friend.
Doc: Marty, I gave you explicit instructions not to come here but to go directly back to 1985. Marty McFly: I know, Doc. But I had to come. Doc: But it's good to see ya, Marty.
Buford's Gang Member #2: Hey, take a gander at them moccasins! What kinda skins is them? What's that writin' mean? Buford's Gang Member #1: "Nee-kay"? What is that, some sorta Injun talk or somethin'?
Film has to be reflecting the world that we live in, and that's all you want to be a part of. Actors inhabit the same planet as everyone else. It's a weird thing that happens when you're an actor because people hold you up because you somehow embody ...
I think every film actor secretly wants to be a rock star as well; just that part of the job which requires the extrovert in you. Even if you've become an actor because it's your way of hiding in plain sight, there's still part of you which has that ...
Only once in my lifetime , I truly believe I find someone who can turn my world around , I share dreams that I never achieved and goals that were achieved , but there was always a part of me that hoped for more , and so there was a part of me that wa...
Sentivo il sapere della vita d'ogni giorno, che non va da nessuna parte, e sta sospesa come una nuvola sopra un burrone. Per questo i viaggi ti ubriacano subito, si diventa assuefatti all'eccitazione degli spostamenti, allora sembra che la vita debba...
Ellen Galinsky's surveys at the Families and Work Institute pointed to a desirable norm for many parents for working not full-time, but part-time. And I get that. I mean, Norway has a 35-hour work week. That counts as part-time for us in the United S...
He that would jest must take a jest, or else to let it alone were best.
Thinking well is wise; planning well, wiser; but doing well is the wisest and best of all.
You can best shoot an eagle with an arrow made from its own feathers.
A priest sees people at their best, a lawyer at their worst, but a doctor sees them as they really are.
He’s like my best friend. And I say that only because I have no real friends, and Cap’n is a great listener (he never interrupts when I’m talking—and I’m always the one doing all the talking). The day he does respond to me will probably be ...
he [Robert Lovett] knew that those whose names were always in print, who were always on the radio and television, were there precisely because they did have power, that those who did hold or had access to power tried to keep out of sight. Halberstam,...
Hesitancy is the surest destroyer of talent. One cannot be timorous and reticent, one must be original and loud. New metaphors, new rhythms, new expressions of emotion can only spring from unhindered gall. Nothing should interfere with that intuition...
Make doing your best a habit, and you’ll never know not doing your best. If you build roads, then build them Roman—make them last two thousand years. Dig ditches as if you were taking them to the state fair to win another blue ribbon for best dit...
Mama told me to make a special point to remember the best times of my life. There are so many hard things to live through, and latching on to the good things will give you strength to endure, she says. So I must remember this day. It is beautiful and...
Doesn't there, in fact, exist something that is dearer to almost every man than his own very best interests, or - not to violate logic - some best good ... which is more important and higher than any other good, and for the sake of which man is prepa...
Satine: [sings] A kiss on the hand may be, quite continental, but diamonds are a girls best friend! A kiss may be grand but it, won't pay the rental on your humble flat, or help you feed your mmhm pussycat! Men grow cold as girls grow old, and we all...
