What lines of dialogue in a movie that has really stood out to you in any way. I'm not talking about the usually obvious famous movie quotes such as "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli." Oh, the dialogue can have famous quotes like that within it, but I'm talking about lines of dialogue that made you think, or feel sad, or happy, or just plain introspective, or just downright funny.
Some sort of dialogue that has stood out to you for one reason or another, long before anyone else told you something along the lines of: "Hey, that is a good dialogue".
Examples:
From the movie One Hour Photo:
"I'm sure my customers never think about it, but these snapshots are their little stands against the flow of time. The shutter is clicked, the flash goes off, and they've stopped time, if just for the blink of an eye. And if these pictures have anything important to say to future generations, it's this: "I was here. I existed. I was young. I was happy and someone cared enough about me in this world to take my picture." -Sy Parrish played by Robin Williams
From Amadeus:
Salieri: All I ever wanted was to sing to God. He gave me that longing... and then made me mute. Why? Tell me that? If he didn't want me to praise him with music, why implant the desire? Like a lust in my body? And then deny me the talent?
Salieri: Astounding! It was actually beyond belief. These were first and only drafts of music yet they showed no corrections of any kind. Not one. He'd simply put down music already finished in his head. Page after page of it, as if he was just taking dictation. And music finished as no music has ever finished. Displace one note and there would be diminishment. Displace one phrase, and the structure would fall. It was clear to me. That sound I had heard in the Archbishop's palace had been no accident. Here again was the very voice of God! I was staring through the cage of those meticulous ink-strokes, at an absolute beauty.
