Movie Dialogue Sample
00:29:48,250 --> 00:29:51,570
- Pardon me?
- Well, you know, everything ends.
548
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,700
I don't think I follow.
549
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:58,620
Well, you know, it's like the cosmos,
or eternity.
550
00:29:59,010 --> 00:30:02,490
Whichever's bigger.
I just know that we're all flying apart.
551
00:30:03,470 --> 00:30:06,210
What is that? What is that?
Is that a move?
552
00:30:06,310 --> 00:30:07,540
Well, I thought your bishop was...
553
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,130
My bishop what? What?
You patzer, you earthworm!
554
00:30:10,230 --> 00:30:13,220
How many times do I have to tell you?
You don't take that pawn.
555
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,260
That's called the poisoned pawn,
because look!
556
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,720
- Boris!
- Look what happens!
557
00:30:17,820 --> 00:30:19,050
- Sorry, Mr. Yellnikoff.
- Yeah, you're sorry,
558
00:30:19,150 --> 00:30:21,180
you're sorry. Use your head
next time, you won't be sorry!
559
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,310
- Boris!
- Yeah. Do your homework next week.
560
00:30:23,410 --> 00:30:25,190
Don't waste my time.
561
00:30:25,290 --> 00:30:26,980
- Hey!
- Poisoned!
562
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,230
I got off work early today and I thought
maybe we could walk home together.
563
00:30:30,330 --> 00:30:32,530
Maybe I can make black-eyed peas
and crab cakes for dinner.
564
00:30:32,630 --> 00:30:34,700
- No, I'm not hungry.
- What's the matter?
565
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,030
- My ulcer's been killing me all day.
- I thought you didn't have an ulcer.
566
00:30:38,130 --> 00:30:40,580
No, I said they can't find an ulcer,
not that I don't have one.
567
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,700
Those malpractice medical mental midgets.
568
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,540
They drop that endoscope down my throat
and probe me like coal miners,
569
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,040
and they always come up with nothing!
570
00:30:48,140 --> 00:30:50,000
Well, guess what happened today?
571
00:30:50,100 --> 00:30:54,840
I got to talking to this boy on the job,
and he asked me out on a date.
572
00:30:55,690 --> 00:30:57,260
Really?
573
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,640
I could tell he liked me right off
574
00:30:59,740 --> 00:31:03,350
and we went and had coffee
and just had, you know, funny banter.
575
00:31:03,450 --> 00:31:05,310
You know what banter is,
it's like flirty talk.
576
00:31:05,410 --> 00:31:07,600
Yeah, yeah, I'm familiar with banter.
577
00:31:07,700 --> 00:31:10,440
Yeah, so, anyway,
he asked if I had a boyfriend.
578
00:31:10,540 --> 00:31:14,940
I said, "Not really." He said,
"I'll pick you up Friday at 8:00."
579
00:31:15,250 --> 00:31:17,070
What do you think?
580
00:31:17,170 --> 00:31:22,580
Great. I just hope he's not a Ted Bundy,
you know.
581
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,410
A who?
582
00:31:24,510 --> 00:31:26,580
You have to keep an eye out
for serial killers.
583
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,130
He's not a serial killer.
At least he didn't mention it.
584
00:31:30,230 --> 00:31:31,920
Yeah, well, you have to be careful.
585
00:31:32,020 --> 00:31:34,590
Sometimes they put you in the trunk
of a car and you can't breathe.
586
00:31:34,690 --> 00:31:36,550
I'm not... I'm serious.
587
00:31:36,650 --> 00:31:40,130
I told him your theory
about capital punishment.
588
00:31:40,650 --> 00:31:41,930
What did you say?
589
00:31:42,030 --> 00:31:46,060
That it should include people
that don't pick up after their dogs,
590
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,593
people who ride their
bikes on the sidewalk,
591
00:31:48,693 --> 00:31:50,730
people who call
mothers "moms" and...
592
00:31:50,830 --> 00:31:54,150
I can't remember them
all, you have so many.
593
00:31:59,630 --> 00:32:02,070
- How do I look?
- Subnormal.
594
00:32:02,420 --> 00:32:04,240
Why? What's wrong?
595
00:32:04,340 --> 00:32:05,950
That's an awfully aggressive ensemble.
596
00:32:06,050 --> 00:32:08,620
You looking to wind up
in an abortion clinic?
597
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,120
I want to look nice.
598
00:32:10,220 --> 00:32:13,084
Just kind of give him an idea of
what he might be in for
599
00:32:13,184 --> 00:32:14,590
if he plays his cards right.
600
00:32:14,690 --> 00:32:17,210
Oh, yeah? What's he in for?
601
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,470
All the stuff with a
woman that you reject,
602
00:32:19,570 --> 00:32:22,050
because you're a genius
and you're above it all.
603
00:32:22,150 --> 00:32:24,100
But I happen to be pretty sharp, too,
604
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,140
and I have a natural talent
in the field of fooling around.
605
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,430
Yeah, well, I just hope
you're saving your money
606
00:32:29,530 --> 00:32:32,600
so you can move out quickly, you know,
now that you're working.
607
00:32:32,700 --> 00:32:33,219
Hi, Perry!
608
00:32:33,319 --> 00...
