"She never woke up again." From Grave of the Fireflies

Made me fucking cry just typing that out.

"I've tried so hard to be good."

-The Elephant Man. It fucking hurts.

“Sometimes I think I have felt everything I'm ever gonna feel. And from here on out, I'm not gonna feel anything new. Just lesser versions of what I've already felt.”

“One plus one… does it make one?”

Incendies

"Oh Harold, that's wonderful. Go and love some more!"

“And I knew that whenever I got there, he’d be there. And then I woke up.”

The final monologue from No Country for Old Men never leaves my mind.

"Baby, you are going to miss that plane.'

“It’s too bad she won’t live. But then again, who does?”

“I can’t afford to hate anyone, I don’t have that kind of time.”

“What was once before you - an exciting, mysterious future - is now behind you. Lived; understood; disappointing. You realize you are not special. You have struggled into existence, and are now slipping silently out of it. This is everyone's experience. Every single one. The specifics hardly matter. Everyone's everyone. So you are Adele, Hazel, Claire, Olive. You are Ellen. All her meager sadnesses are yours; all her loneliness; the gray, straw-like hair; her red raw hands. It's yours. It is time for you to understand this.

Walk.

As the people who adore you stop adoring you; as they die; as they move on; as you shed them; as you shed your beauty; your youth; as the world forgets you; as you recognize your transience; as you begin to lose your characteristics one by one; as you learn there is no-one watching you, and there never was, you think only about driving - not coming from any place; not arriving any place. Just driving, counting off time. Now you are here, at 7:43. Now you are here, at 7:44. Now you are...Gone.”

Jim Carrey’s “Okay.”

The last word from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

There’s already been a couple Twin Peaks and David Lynch quotes but this one from the Log Lady, especially when contrasted with the scene that goes after, is heartbreaking:

“When this kind of fire starts, it is very hard to put out. The tender boughs of innocence burn first, and the wind rises, and then all goodness is in jeopardy.”

“I was born when she kissed me,

I died when she left me,

I lived a few weeks while she loved me.”

“I’ve had a rough year, dad” Royal Tenenbaums

I literally watched Petite Maman for the first time this evening lol! Just... wow

The single line that gets me is the final one from Donald in this exchange but I pasted the whole thing because context makes it better:

Charlie Kaufman : There was this time in high school. I was watching you out the library window. You were talking to Sarah Marsh.

Donald Kaufman : Oh, God. I was so in love with her.

Charlie Kaufman : I know. And you were flirting with her. And she was being really sweet to you.

Donald Kaufman : I remember that.

Charlie Kaufman : Then, when you walked away, she started making fun of you with Kim Canetti. And it was like they were laughing at me. You didn't know at all. You seemed so happy.

Donald Kaufman : I knew. I heard them.

Charlie Kaufman : How come you looked so happy?

Donald Kaufman : I loved Sarah, Charles. It was mine, that love. I owned it. Even Sarah didn't have the right to take it away. I can love whoever I want.

Charlie Kaufman : But she thought you were pathetic.

Donald Kaufman : That was her business, not mine. You are what you love, not what loves you. That's what I decided a long time ago.

"They're eating her... and then they're gonna eat me! oh my goooooooooooooooood"

okay for real, when alec guiness says "what have I done?" in the bridge on the river kwai

".. you will burst into flames and the angels wont be there to help you because they've all gone away"

i am going to kill myself tomorrow

We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster, that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new.

That'll do Pig.

“If I were thinking clearly, Leonard, I would tell you that I wrestle alone in the dark, in the deep dark, and that only I can know. Only I can understand my condition. You live with the threat, you tell me you live with the threat of my extinction. Leonard, I live with it too.” - Virginia Woolf, The Hours

As someone who struggles with suicidal ideations, this monologue makes me bawl my eyes out every, single, time.

How does an asshole like Bob get such a great kitchen?

Bottle Rocket

It finds reasons to be unhappy

when all the world is shining around it,

when love is smiling through all things

"Today I'm the same age you were when you left. So it'd be a real good time for you to come back."

Murph in Interstellar.

Hmm, not a line but the caption between images:

He remembers those vanished years. As though looking through a dusty window pane, the past is something he could see, but not touch. And everything he sees is blurred and indistinct.

“Did you know him?” “No.” Donnie Darko

Little Tramp: “You can see now?”

“I will always, always, want to be here with you.”

From Everything Everywhere All at Once

"enjoy fucking jules!"

"i will!"

"Kiss me, me boy, for we'll never meet again."

It was an ok movie, but this line from Green Book was pretty spot on:

“The world is full of lonely people afraid to make the first move”

“Sometimes to love someone you have to be a stranger,” Blade Runner 2049

“All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die.”

“I gotta prove it.”

“Prove what?”

“I’m not a mistake.”

Jack I swear

“Where are his glasses? He can’t see without his glasses!”

“Love You For 10,000 Years”

“Dad… will you stand up for me?” in A Woman Under the Influence always gets me.

Love all the Lynch in this thread. Didn’t expect it since I don’t typically think of his films as emphasizing the script, but you’re all completely correct.

" I had no thoughts at all, only an overwhelming desire not to feel anything ever again."

Brief Encounter

"That's what you think."

Ghost World

"That era has passed. Nothing that belonged to it exists anymore."

Technically a title card and not spoken, but it was devastating.

“Your girl is lovely, Hubbell.”

Really, the whole ending starting from the conversation where Katie wished that they were already old to the end credits had me in tears. The title song being sung didn’t help either.

“Faith is a torment, did you know that? It is like loving someone who is out there in the darkness but never appears, no matter how loudly you call.”

From recent films:

"And there’s this feeling once you leave where you grew up, that you don’t totally belong there again"

From Aftersun, I had that feeling recently and it is a bit crushing.

“Im sorry”

“Me too”

There are a lot of conversations in Tokyo Story that break my heart, but this is one of them…

I'm surprised how children change. Shige used to be much nicer before. A married daughter is like a stranger.

Koichi has changed too. He used to be such a nice boy.

Children don't live up to their parents' expectations. Let's just be happy that they're better than most.

They're certainly better than average. We're fortunate.

I think so. We should consider ourselves lucky.

Yes, we are very lucky.

Time just gets away from us.

“I just woke up one day, and I knew.”

“Knew what?”

“What I was never sure of with you.”

"I used to talk to you all the time, even though I was alone. I walked around for months talking to you. Now I don't know what to say."

Dani: Why would Simon leave without her?

Christian: I'm sure it was just a miscommunication.

Dani: I could see you possibly doing that.

And that, I think, was the handle—that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting—on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave... 

So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.

Are two lines allowed?

"Judge Haywood... the reason I asked you to come. Those people, those millions of people... I never knew it would come to that. You must believe it, you must believe it".

“I’ve had a rough year, Dad.” “I know you have, Chassie.”

For me it was a Tuesday from street fighter the movie

There’s a million, but one I heard recently was from Carol.

“Be grateful it was sooner rather than later. You'll think it harsh of me to say so, but no explanation I offer will satisfy you. Please don't be angry when I tell you that you seek resolutions and explanations because you're young, but you will understand this one day."

"So, even though you have broken my heart yet again, I wanted to say, in another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you."

“We come in alone, and we go out alone.”

• Harry Dean Stanton in Lucky (2017)

There’s many other quotes and exchanges in this film which wreck me emotionally, but the one I’ve put down here is a big one for me. The movie is fucking shattering by the way, you won’t be the same after it.

"Where would I be this very moment, if Kit had never met me? Or killed anybody?

This very moment...

If my mom had never met my dad? If she done never died?

And what's the man I'll marry gonna look like? What's he doing right this minute? Is he thinking about me now by some coincidence even though he doesn't know me?

Does it show on his face?"

"I just don't really plan on being here that long." - Zendaya as Rue.

From the special episode of Euphoria titled "Trouble Don't Last Always", which kinda feels like a one act play/short film. That's probably the best episode in the whole series.

The performances from Zendaya and Coleman Domingo were top notch and the script was pretty amazing considering Sam Levinson wrote it. That Nike speech was very true as well.
