Can't repeat the past? ...of course you can!
Reserving judgments is a matter of infinite hope. ...I come to the admission that it has a limit.
...that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.
They were careless people, Tom and Daisy-they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness...
...there was an immediately perceptible vitality about her as if the nerves of her body were continually smouldering.
I've just heard the most amazing thing... and here I am tantalizing you.

Quotes:

Daisy Buchanan: Gatsby? What Gatsby?

Nick Carraway: You can't repeat the past.::Jay Gatsby: Can't repeat the past?::Nick Carraway: No...::Jay Gatsby: Why, of course you can... of course you can.

[last lines]::Nick Carraway: Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter - tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther... And one fine morning - So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Jordan Baker: Well, I don't care. He gives large parties, and I like large parties - they're so intimate. Small parties, there isn't any privacy.

Jay Gatsby: My life, old sport, my life... my life has got to be like this::[Raises index finger diagonally upwards]::Jay Gatsby: ...It's got to keep going on.

Nick Carraway: In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since.

Jay Gatsby: Old sport.

Tom Buchanan: I'd prefer not to be the polo player.

Daisy Buchanan: [after a long pause] Well, I'm certainly glad to see you again.::Jay Gatsby: I-I'm certainly glad to see you, as well.

Jay Gatsby: I knew it was a great mistake for a man like me to fall in love...

He risked it all to give first love a second chance.

Quotes:

Daisy Buchanan: I love you now. Isn't that enough?

Wolfsheim: You like my cuff buttons?::Nick Carraway: Ivory?::Wolfsheim: Human molars.::Nick Carraway: ...Unique.

Nick Carraway: Is something happening?::Jordan Baker: Tom's got a woman in New York. You surprised?::Nick Carraway: Actually I'm more surprised that he was depressed by a book.

Nick Carraway: Your place looks like the World's Fair.

Owl Eyes: [At Gatsby's funeral] I couldn't get to the house.::Nick Carraway: Neither could anybody else.::Owl Eyes: Why my God, they used to go there by the hundreds. Poor son of a bitch.::Nick Carraway: [Narrating] Daisy hadn't sent a message or a flower. Poor son of a bitch.

Jay Gatsby: This was a terrible mistake.::Nick Carraway: You're just embarrassed. Daisy's embarrassed too.::Jay Gatsby: She's embarrassed?::Nick Carraway: You're acting like a little boy. Not only that, you're rude. Daisy's sitting in there all alone.

Nick Carraway: You can't repeat the past.::Jay Gatsby: Can't repeat the past? Of course you can!

Owl Eyes: What do you think?::Jordan Baker: About what?::Owl Eyes: About THAT.::Jordan Baker: Books?::Owl Eyes: They're real. Here. Let me show you. They have pages in them. See? A bonafide piece of printed matter. It fooled me. I've been drunk for about a week and I thought a library would sober me up.::Jordan Baker: Did it help?::Owl Eyes: I can't tell you. I've only been here an hour.

Nick Carraway: [First lines] [narrating] In my younger and more vulnerable years, my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since. "Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages you've had." While reserving judgments is a matter of infinite hope, I've come to admit that my tolerance of human behavior has its limits. Gatsby, the man who gives his name to this story, represented everything for which I have an unaffected scorn. And yet there was something gorgeous about him. Some hightened sensitivity to the promises of life, a romantic readiness such as I've never found in any other person and which it is not likely I'll ever find again.

Nick Carraway: The history of that summer really begins when I drove across the bay to the more fashionable East Egg to have dinner with the Buchanans. Daisy was my second cousin once removed and I'd known Tom in college. His family was enormously wealthy and he'd been one of the most powerful ends that ever played football at Yale. He and Daisy had spent a year in France drifting aimlessly among the rich. "This was to be a permanent move," Daisy told me over the telephone. But I didn't believe her.

Gone is the romance that was so divine.

Quotes:

Jordan Baker: [about Gatsby] He's an Oxford man.::Tom Buchanan: Like hell he is, he wears a goddamn pink suit!

Daisy Buchanan: And when I was in the delivery room, waking up from the ether, I asked the nurse whether it was a boy or a girl. She said it was a girl - and I turned my head to the side and cried. And then I said, I hope she grows up to be a pretty little fool. That's about the best a girl can hope for these days, to be a pretty little fool.

Jay Gatsby: I was raised in America but educated in Oxford. That's a family tradition.

Jay Gatsby: Klipspringer has been here since a party I threw in April. I didn't even realize he was here until two weeks ago.

Daisy Buchanan: [embracing a shirt and weeping, presumably from joy, as Gatsby gleefully throws dozens of imported golf shirts across the room] I've never seen such beautiful shirts before.

Nick Carraway: They say you killed a man.::Jay Gatsby: Only one?

Nick Carraway: There was music from my neighbor's house through those summer nights. In his enchanted gardens, men and girls came and went like moths, among the whispering and the champagne and the stars. I believe that few people were actually invited to these parties. They just went. They got into automobiles that bore them out to Long Island, and somehow they ended up at Gatsby's door. Come for the party with a simplicity of heart that was it's own ticket of admission.

Tom Buchanan: That dog's a bitch!

Jay Gatsby: Summer's almost over. It's sad, isn't it? Makes you want to - I don't know - reach out and hold it back.::Nick Carraway: There'll be other summers.::Jay Gatsby: [Turning to Nick] How 'bout a swim?::Nick Carraway: Maybe later.::Jay Gatsby: Hrmm.::Nick Carraway: I'll give you a call - around noon?::Jay Gatsby: Fine, old sport. I'll be at the pool. [Jay watches Nick walk away for a moment before calling out to him] Nick? Thank you.::Nick Carraway: [Nick nods and then continues on his way. But then he suddenly turns back] They're a rotten crowd. You're worth the whole damn bunch put together. [the two smile at one another and then Nick walks away, waving a hand back over his shoulder]

Myrtle Wilson: Daisy... [then sobbing, slowly] Daisy...
