#204: Favorite Movie Lines

If you're not familiar with these movies, I highly recommend them for your viewing interest. Here are some of my favorite lines from some of my favorite movies:

"3:10 to Yuma": In answer to why he didn't stop the robbers when he talks to the Sheriff, Charlie Prince says, "They were shooting BULLETS!"

"Serenity": When her brother Simon gets shot by Reavers, River Tam tells him how he's always taken care of her. She then stands up, looks fearless, and says, "MY TURN!" and proceeds to kick the crap out of the baddies.

"Firefly" series: Jayne is found out to have betrayed Simon and River. Simon tells him he is safe whenever he's under the Doc's knife. River looks at him when Simon leaves and says, "Also...I can kill you with my brain!"

"Reign of Fire": The Americans are pulling up to the English fort. McCreedy looks down and says in a thick Scottish accent, "The only thing worse than a dragon is an American!"

"Gettysburg": General Longstreet describes the futility of attacking Hancock's center position on the third day of the battle (Pickett's Charge) and concludes the inevitability of failure. "Those are Hancock's boys, they're not going to run away. So it is a mathematical equation."

Speaking of the Third Day...
"Jesus of Nazareth": "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life."
Good stopping point.
