I don’t think I’ve ever seen a crew work this fast and this hard. A few more days, we’ll have the keel cleared and tarred and she’ll be ready to go back into the water.
I’ve grown familiar with villains that live in my head..
Spike, my boy, you really don’t get it. Do you? You tried to kill her, but you couldn’t. Look at you. You’re a wreck. She’s stronger than any Slayer you’ve ever faced. Force won’t get it done. You gotta work from the inside. To kill this girl… you have to l o v e her.
Is it true that there’s a point on a man’s head where if you shoot it, it will blow up?

Only the deepest love will persuade me into matrimony, which is why I will end up an old maid.
Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet in Pride & Prejudice (2005)
He was a special man, a man of ideas; about the world, about the order of things. Writers, artists, men of science… they’d fill our drawing room night after night to talk and argue. Sometimes just to listen to him.
I’ve been saying it so long to you, you just wouldn’t listen. Every time you said ‘Farm Boy do this’ you thought I was answering ‘As you wish’ but that’s only because you were hearing wrong. ‘I love you’ was what it was, but you never heard.
THE PRINCESS BRIDE (1987)
Great scene, and based on an actual historical incident in medieval Germany:
When King Conrad III defeated the Duke of Welf (in the year 1140) and placed Weinsberg under siege, the wives of the besieged castle negotiated a surrender which granted them the right to leave with whatever they could carry on their shoulders. The king allowed them that much. Leaving everything else aside, each woman took her own husband on her shoulders and carried him out. When the king’s people saw what was happening, many of them said that that was not what had been meant and wanted to put a stop to it. But the king laughed and accepted the women’s clever trick. “A king” he said, “should always stand by his word.”
Medieval women were BAMFs.
This was my one of fav films
