Benny and Joon

Sam: How sick is she?
Benny: She's plenty sick. Now listen to me, I've been doin' some thinkin'-
Sam: Because, you know, it seems to me that, I mean, except for being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal."

Sam: I'm Sam.
Benny: So I hear. I'm Benny.
Sam: With an 'n'?
Benny: Yea two of 'em. This is Joon.
Sam: With an 'n'?
Joon: One. You're out of your tree.
Sam: It's not my tree

Joon: He can really cook, can't he?
Benny: Uh, yeah. Although for grilled cheese, I mighta used a wool setting.
Joon: That's what I told him.
Benny: Really? What-what did he use?
Joon: Rayon.
Benny: Mm.
Joon: Silk would have been too soggy. Cotton would have...
Benny: Would have burned it.
Joon: Right. Fortunately, he consulted me before giving it steam. I was four square against it.

Sam: Oh my God! "I've just been looking for my boyfriend. Have you seen him? He's a cute guy with a little mole on his right cheek."
Local: Hey, Ruthie. One of your ghosts come back to haunt ya?
Sam: "AH! Oh, Brad! Oh, Brad. Brad, please don't be dead. Brad, I never had a chance to tell you what you meant to me. Oh, Brad, please!" It's you! You're you! Ruthie Melony, co-star of the Prom Queen Mutilator with Dick Bebe!
Ruthie: You saw that?
Sam: "He was mine! He was mine!" "No, Cindy. You're sick. Cindy, you need help. No, Cindy! No, no!"

Benny: Hey. Where's Sam?
Joon: I didn't mean to kick him out. I mean, I didn't kick him out, he just - he just left.
Benny: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What - What happened? Did something happen?
Joon: He just - he just left. He was - he was in the air and-and-and - with a thing and - that was really loud. It was really loud. And all- I-I just kept seeing... He didn't mean to do it.
Benny: Do it? What? What- Did he- What did he do?
Joon: He cleaned the house.

Joon: Don't underestimate the mentally ill. We know how to count.

If this is a quotathon then I've lost!

A bit of Shakespeare!

Amiens: As you like it

Blow, blow thou Winter wind.
Thou art not so unkind as Man's ingratitude.

And Iago: Othello

How poor are they that have not patience!
What wound did heal but by degrees?

Tito I adore Shakespeare

“Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more; it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing at all.”

Nihilism by William Shakespeare in Macbeth, Act 5 Scene 5,

I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.
Vincent Van Gogh

I wish they would only take me as I am.
Vincent Van Gogh

I can very well do without God both in my life and in my painting, but I cannot, suffering as I am, do without something which is greater than I am, which is my life, the power to create.
Vincent Van Gogh

I am invariably late for appointments - sometimes as much as two hours. I've tried to change my ways but the things that make me late are too strong, and too pleasing.
Marilyn Monroe

I identify with this. Wonder if she was ADHD?

Here's another Macbeth.

Banquo:
If you can look into the seeds of time,
And say which grain will grow,
And which will not,
Speak.

My daughter loves Macbeth, the King Louis earlier is what husband loves.

He is a man of culture.
