I just watched Time Bandits...
How fun!
I just love this story... Anyone else seen it? I found some quotes:
QUOTE
Randall (David Rappaport): Do you want to be leader of this gang?Strutter (Malcolm Dixon): No. We agreed, no leader.Randall: Right. So shut up and do as I say.
QUOTE
Randall: You see, to be quite frank, Kevin, the fabric of the universe is far from perfect. It was a bit of botched job, you see. We only had seven days to make it. And that's where this comes in. This is the only map of all the holes. Well, why repair them? Why not use them to get stinking rich?
QUOTE
Pansy (Shelley Duvall): Help! Robbers!Og (Mike Edmonds): Hey! That's us!
QUOTE
Robin Hood (John Cleese): The poor are going to be absolutely thrilled. Have you met them at all?Randall: Who?Robin Hood: The poor.Randall: The poor?Robin Hood: Oh, you must meet them. I just know you'll like them. Charming people. Of course, they haven't got two pennies to rub together, but then, that's because they're poor.
QUOTE
Kevin (Craig Warnock): I'll never get the chance to meet Robin Hood again.Randall: Oh, stop moaning. He's obviously a dangerous man, unbalanced if you ask me. Giving away what isn't even his!Kevin: That's what Robin Hood always did. Even I know that.Randall: Of course, you know it all.Kevin: He was one of my heroes.Randall: Heroes! Heroes! What do they know about a day's work?
QUOTE
Evil Genius (David Warner): When I have the map, I will be free, and the world will be different, because I have understanding.Robert (Derek deadman): Understanding of what, master?Evil Genius: Digital watches. And soon I will have understanding of videocassette recorders and car telephones. And when I have understanding of them, I shall have understanding of computers. And when I have understanding of computers, I shall be the Supreme Being! God isn't interested in technology. He knows nothing of the potential of the microchip or the silicon revolution. Look how he spends his time: forty-three species of parrots! Nipples for men!Robert: Slugs.Evil Genius: Slugs! He created slugs! They can't hear, they can't speak, they can't operate machinery. If I were creating the world, I wouldn't mess about with butterflies and daffodils. I would've started with lasers, eight o'clock, day one.
QUOTE
Evil Genius: If you're wrong, Benson, my revenge will be slow and unpleasant. I will turn you inside out over a very long period of time.Benson (Jerold Wells): Oh, thank you, master, thank you!
QUOTE
Kevin: referring to an ancient Greek king. The money wasn't important to him.Randall: He didn't have anything to spend it on, did he? Stuck out in Greece. Lowest standard of living in Europe.
QUOTE
Evil Genius: Suddenly I feel very very good.Benson: Oh, sorry, master.Evil Genius: It'll pass, it'll pass.
QUOTE
Ogre (Peter Vaughan): tossing out a fishing net. There used to be a time when you could be sure of catching old boots, cans, hat racks, boxes. Now it's prawns all the tomato-ketchupy time.
QUOTE
Evil Genius: I have the map! And the day after tomorrow, the world!Evil Genius: I feel so bad, Benson.Benson: Good, good.Evil Genius: Yes, it is good. For this is the worst kind of badness that I'm feeling.
QUOTE
Evil Genius: Oh Benson, dear Benson, you are so mercifully free of the ravages of intelligence.
QUOTE
Supreme Being (Ralph Richardson): dead? No excuse for laying off work.
QUOTE
Wally (Jack Purvis): Do you mean you knew what was happening to us all the time?Supreme Being: Well, of course. I am the Supreme Being. I'm not entirely dim.Kevin: You mean you let all those people *** just to test your creation?Supreme Being: Yes, you really are a clever boy.Kevin: Why did they have to ***?Supreme Being: You might as well say, Why do we have to have evil?Randall: Oh, we wouldn't dream of asking a question like that, sir.Kevin: Yes, why do we have to have evil?Supreme: Being Ah, I think it's something to do with free will.
Thinking isn't agreeing or disagreeing. That's voting. Robert Frost |
