Quotes:

[from trailer]::Luke: Good night, child.

Violet Devereaux: We've been waiting for you, Caroline.

Violet Devereaux: Child, I believe you broke my legs.

Caroline Ellis: I told you I wanted a black one this time.::Luke: You know the black ones never stay. Beggars can't be choosers. I think it suits you beautifully. It's better than Violet or Grace, even. We'll get used to it. We always do.

Caroline Ellis: I saw the room.::Violet Devereaux: What room?::Caroline Ellis: The room you said you've never seen

[first lines]::Caroline Ellis: [reading from Treasure Island] I lost no time, of course, in telling my mother all that I knew, and we saw ourselves at once in a difficult and dangerous position. Something must speedily be resolved upon, and it occurred to us at last to go forth together and seek help in the neighboring hamlet. No sooner said than done. Bare-headed as we were, we ran out at once into the gathering evening and the frosty fog. The hamlet lay not many hundred yards away, though out of view on the other side of the next cove, and what greatly encouraged me, it was in an opposite direction from that whence the blind man had made his appearance. And I shall never forget how much I was cheered to see the yellow shine in the doors and windows; but that, as it proved, was the best of the help we were likely to get in that quarter. For you would have thought men would have been ashamed of themselves; no soul would consent to return with us to the [stops abruptly]

[last lines]::Luke: She meant so much to them, her being here. I know it wasn't for long, but they really loved her.::Jill: Why do you say that?::Luke: It's in their wills. They left her the house.

Caroline Ellis: It's like, hypnotism, right? Suggestion? And when this stuff works, its because someone believes it works?... And if you thought, you know, that magic made you sick... you might believe in a magic cure?::Mama Cynthia: Somebody been workin' roots on you!::Caroline Ellis: Say I knew someone who thought that they'd been...::Mama Cynthia: Crossed?::Caroline Ellis: Crossed. Would they believe that they could be... uncrossed?

Caroline Ellis: Do you know a record called the Conjure of Sacrifice?... Because I have it if you do.::Creole Mother: If you had that, you wouldn't say so.

Caroline Ellis: [shouts] I don't believe!

Quotes:

Fletcher McBracken: Lemme ask you a question, Phil - and you don't have to answer it if you don't want to. D'you think that every last thread of intelligent life has chosen to huddle in either New York or LA? Or do you really believe that-that this soulless sinkhole has anything to do with real life humanity - namely integrity, compassion, dignity? Y'know what, don't answer that, Phil. Just lemme just give you some advice. Next time you're driving through Texas, you better stay clear of all the trailer parks. And if you *are* driving through Texas, why don't you do it fast - real, *real* fast.

Fletcher McBracken: Are you gonna make me stand with my back against the wall, blindfolded, with a cigarette in my mouth?::Rosalyn Willoughby: Only if you beg.::Fletcher McBracken: [stammering] Will you *please* make me stand against the wall, with my back to the wall, with the blindfold on, and a cigarette around my mouth?

Fletcher McBracken: I have this terribly archaic notion that art should be about beauty... and passion... and, well, redefining an imperfect world in a perfect way.

Ida, Fletcher's Grand Mother: I know. It's more of a curse than a blessing.::Rosalyn Willoughby: What?::Ida, Fletcher's Grand Mother: Being smart and what people call beautiful. I'm not bragging, but in my day I was considered quite a catch. I don't think I ever met a man I felt could outsmart me - out-think me. How those silly creatures did bore me. Oh, it does cause quite a fuss, that combination: smart and beautiful. But it's mostly in your own gut. See, the problem is, you stop believing that he *could* be out there waiting for you.::Rosalyn Willoughby: Who?::Ida, Fletcher's Grand Mother: Your true love.

Rosalyn Willoughby: There are two things I always wanted to believe in but didn't dare. One is that there was one man, somewhere, who was made just for me. The other is that I just might deserve him.

Halley Reed: After all, he is an American phenomenon.::Clifford Stern: Yeah, but so is acid rain.

Judah Rosenthal: I remember my father telling me, "The eyes of God are on us always." The eyes of God. What a phrase to a young boy. What were God's eyes like? Unimaginably penetrating, intense eyes, I assumed. And I wonder if it was just a coincidence I made my specialty ophthalmology.

Clifford Stern: While we're waiting for a cab I'll give you your lesson for today. Don't listen to what your teachers tell ya, you know. Don't pay attention. Just, just see what they look like and that's how you'll know what life is really gonna be like.

Clifford Stern: [on Lester's films] I can't watch his stuff. It's sub-mental.

Lester: If you play your cards right, you could have my body.::Halley Reed: Wouldn't you rather leave it to science?

Clifford Stern: [after being handed a box of Milk Duds] Great. Now I can get rid of my few remaining teeth.

Halley Reed: [on the philosopher Lewis Levy] He was very eloquent on the subject of love, didn't you think?::Clifford Stern: I wish I had met him before I got married. It would've saved me a gall bladder operation.

[On Lester]::Halley Reed: He wants to produce something of mine.::Clifford Stern: Yeah. Your first child.
