Romeo and juliet: actIII scene V

Enter Capulet, Lady Capulet, and Paris

Capulet: Things have fall'n out, sir, so unluckily, that we have had no time to move our daughter. Look you , she loved her kinsman Tybalt dearly, and so did I. Well, we were born to die. 'Tis very late; she'll not come down to-night:I promise you, but for your company, I would have been a-bed an hour ago.
Paris: These times of woe afford no time to woo. Madam, good night: commend me to your daughter.
Lady Capulet: I will, and know her mind to-morrow; To-night she's mew'd up to her heaviness.
Capulet: Sir Paris, I will make a desperate tender of my child's love: I think she will be ruled in all respects by me; nay more, I doubt it not. Wife, go you to her ere you go to bed; Acquaint her here of my son Paris' love; And bid her, mark you me, on Wednesday next- But soft, what day is this?
Paris: Monday, my lord.
Capulet: Monday! ha, ha! Well, Wednesday is too soon; O' Thursday let it be: o' Thursday, tell her, She shall be married to this noble earl. Will you be ready? do you like this haste? We'll keep no great ado; a friend or two; For, hark you, Tybalt being slain so late, it may be thought we held him carelessly, being our kinsman, if we revel much: Therefore we'll have some half-a-dozen friends, and there an end. But what say you to Thursday?
Paris: My lord, I would that Thursday were to-morrow
Capulet: Well, get you gone: o' Thursday be it then. Go you to Juliet ere you go to bed, prepare her, wife, against this wedding-day. Farewell, my lord. Light to my chamber, ho! Afore me, it is so very very late, that we may call it early by and by: Good night.

romeo and juliet: Act II scene VI

This scene involves Friar Lawrence, Romeo, and Juliet.

Friar Lawrence: So smile the heavens upon this holy act that after-hours with sorrow chide us not!
Amen, amen! but come what sorrow can, it cannot countervail the exchange of joy that one short minute in her sight: Do thou but close our hands with holy words, then love-devouring death do what he dare, it is enough I may but call her mine.
Friar Lawrence: These violent delights have violent ends, and in their triumph die; like fire and powder which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness, and in the taste confounds the appetite: Therefore love moderately; long love doth so; Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
Enter Juliet
Friar Lawrence:Here comes the lady, O, so light a foot will ne'er wear out the everlastinf flint. A lover may bestride the gossamer that idles in the wanton summer air, and yet not fall; so light is vanity.
Juliet: Good even to my ghostly confessor.
Friar Lawrence: Romeo shall thank thee, daughter, for us both.
Juliet: As much to him, else is his thanks too much.
Romeo: Ah, Juliet, if the measure of thy joy be heap'd like mine, and thy skill be more to blazon it, then sweeten with thy breath this neighbour air, and let it rich music's tongue unfold the imagined happiness that both receive in either by this dear encounter.
Juliet: Conceit, more rich in matter than in words, brags of his substance, not of ornament: They are but beggars that can count their worth; But my true love is grown to such excess, I cannot sum up sum of half my wealth.
Friar Lawrence: Come, come with me, and we will make short work; For, by your leaves, you shall not stay alone till holy church incorporate two in one.

romeo and juliet: act 2 scene 4

This scene involves the Nurse, Romeo, Mercutio, Peter, and Benvolio.
Mercutio: A sail, a sail!
Benvolio: Two, two; a shirt and a smock.
Nurse:Peter!
Peter: Anon.
Nurse: My fan, Peter.
Merutio: Good Peter, to hide her face; for her fan's the fairer of the two.
Nurse: God ye good morrow, gentlemen.
Mercutio: God ye good den, fair gentlewoman.
Nurse: Is it good den?
Mercutio: Tis no less, I tell you; for the bawdy hand of the dial is now upon the prick of noon.
Nurse: Out upon you! what a man are you?
Romeo: One gentlewoman, that God hath made himself to mar.
Nurse: by my troth, it is well said; 'for himself to mar,' quoth a'? Gentlmen, can any of you tell me where I may find the young Romeo?
Romeo: I can tell you; but young Romeo will be older when you have found him than he was when you sought him: I am the youngest of that name, for fault of a worse.
Nurse: You say well.
Mercutio: Yea, is the worst well? very well took. i' faith; wisely, wisely.
Nurse: If you be he, sir, I desire some confidence with you.
Benvolio: She will indite him to some supper.
Mercutio: A bawd, a bawd, a bawd! So ho!
Romeo: What hast thou found?
Mercutio: No hare, sir; unless a hare, sir, in a lenten pie, that is something stale and hoar ere it be spent. Romeo, will you come to your father's? we'll to dinner thither.
Romeo: I will follow you.
Mercutio: Farewell, ancient lady; farewell, (exits singing) lady, lady, lady.

Freaky Friday

Tess(as her daughter Anna): Mr. Bates, may I please speak with you? By what stretch of the imagination....I mean like, how could I, like, get an "F"? I mean, what mistakes did I make? That was a college level analysis. As a matter of fact I most certainly am qualified of making that point. Wait a second, Bates? Elton Bates, Griffith High school. Well, you asked me, I mean my mom to the prom and she turned you down. And now you're taking it out on her daughter, aren't you? Aren't you? Oh come on, it was a high school dance. I mean, you've got to let goand move on man! And if you don't, I'm sure the school board would love to hear about your pathetic vendetta against an innocent student. Oh, and by the way Elton, she had a boyfriend, and you were weird!

Cat named Cat "Breakfast at Tiffany's"

Paul: I'm ....sorry. Is he all right? Holly: Sure. Sure. He's okay. Aren't you, Cat? Poor old Cat. Poor slob. Poor slob without a name. I don't have the right to give him one. We don't belong to each other. We just took up one day. I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together. I'm not sure where that is, but I know what it's like. It's like Tiffany's.
Paul: Tiffany's? You mean the jewelry store?
Holly: That's right. I'm crazy about Tiffany's. Listen. You know those days when you get the mean reds?
Paul: The "mean reds"? you mean like the blues?
Holly: No. The blues are because you're getting fat or it's been raining too long. You're just sad that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid, and you don't know what you're afraid of. Don't you ever get that feeling?
Paul: Sure. Some people call it angst.
Holly: When I get it, what does any good is to jump into a cab and go to Tiffany's. Calms me down right away. The quietness, the proud look. Nothing very bad could happen to youthere. If I could find a real-life place that made me feel like Tiffany's, then....then I'd buy some furnitureand give that cat a name...I'm sorry. You wanted something. Oh, the telephone.

Faye dumpe Jimmy "That thing you do"

Faye: Can I cay something? (pause) Jimmy, from now on, you stay away from me. I've wasted thousands and thousands of kisses on you. Kisses that I thought were special becuase of your lips and your smile and all of your color and life. I used to think that was the real you when you smiled, but now I know that you don't mean any of it. You just save it for all your songs. Shame on me for kissing you with my eyes closed so tight.

Kat's poem from"10 thing I hate about you"

Kat: I hate the way you talk to me. And the wya you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare I hate your big dumb combat boots and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick-it even makes me rhyme. I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it that you're not around and the fact that you didn't call. But mostly I hate the way I don't ahte you-- not even close, not even a little bit, not any at all.

Scene from "Walk the Line'

Carlene: Momma, Johnny Cash is here! (pause) Momma, Johnny Cash is here. June: Hi, John. Hey girls can you go inside in the living room and clean up that mess. Johnny: I tried to call but I think there's something wrong with your phone. June: Look at you, have you looked in a mirror lately? How are you gonna sing when you can't even talk? Johnny: I got the laryngitis, member? (pause) Marry me, June. June: Oh, please, get up off your knees you're pathetic. Come on, I don't want my girls seeing somebody like this. Johnny: Come on, Baby. June: Where's my friend John? Did he get high, is he incognito, is he gone? Cause I don't like this guy Cash. Johnny: I ain't incognito. I'm right here. See, I'm here. June: Fine, where's your car? Johnny: It's in makeup! June: You walked here all the way from Nashville. Johnny: Yeah, well walking's good for you. See I'm trying to get in shape June, cleans out your system. Walks are spiritual, I'm on a love walk, the June Carter love walk. A memorial. June: You what I'm supporting more than myself right now. Please do not blow another tour. Johnny: Ah, June love's more important than a tour. June: Is that right? Johnny: yeah it is. June: Well, than start loving yourself, so we can go back to work. Johnny: Alright June. Hey you keep your phone on and I will too. I'll call, I'll call you. When you're feeling better I'll call.

act 1 scene 2 Hamlet

Hamlet: Oh, that this too too sullied flesh would melt, thaw, and resolve itself into a dew! Or that the everlasting had not fixed His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! Oh, God, God, how weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world! Fie on't, ah, fie! 'Tis an unweeded garden that grows to seed. Things rank and gross innature possess it merely. That it should come to this. But two months dead-nay, not so much, not two. So excellent a king, that was to this hyperion to a satyr, so loving to my mother that he might not beteem the winds of Heaven visit her face too roughly. Heaven and Earth must I remember?"

Pretty Woman

Vivian: "When I was a little girl, my momma used to lock me in the attic when I was bad, which was pretty often. And I would pretend that I was a princess trapped in the tower by a wicked queen. Then suddenly, a knight on a white horse with colors flying, would come charging up and draw his sword, and I would wave, and he would climb up the tower and rescue me....but never in all the times that I had this dream did the knight say to me, come on baby, I'll put you up in a great condo!"

Monologue From "Hamlet"

Ophelia: "My Lord, as I was sewing in my closet, Lord Hamlet, with his doublet all unbraced he comes before me. He took me by the wrist and held me hard. then goes he to the length of all his arm, and with his other hand thus o'er his brow, he falls to such perusal of my face, as'a would draw it. Long stayed he so. At last a little shaking of mine arm and thrice his head thus waving up and down, he gave a sigh so piteous and profound as it did seem to shatter all of his bulk and end his being. That done he lets me go, and with his head over his shoulder turned, he seemed to find his way without his eyes for out o' doors he went without their helps, and to the last bended their light on me."
