- What are you laughing at?
- You dare to match your powers against mine?
- You wanna know why?
- Yeah, I do. I’m sorry. Forgive me for laughing. Why?
- I’m more powerful than you because I’m a bigger sinner. Because you’re a fallen angel and I,
I never believed in God or Heaven or any of that stuff. I’m strictly, you know, quarks and
particles and black hole. You know, all that other stuff is junk to me. And also, I did terrible
things. I’ve cheated on all my wives and none of them deserved it, I sleep with whores, I drink
too much and I take pills, and I lie and I’m vain and cowardly and I’m prone to violence.
- Violence?
- I once almost ran over a book critic with my car. But it swerved at the last second.
- You ever had two women at once?
- Yes, I did have two women at once. And I’ll tell you something else. I didn’t care that was exploitive. And I’ll tell you something else, they were sisters.
- Really?
- Yes, absolutely. Two blonde WASP sisters.
- Not the Sherman twins?
- Yes, the Sherman twins, exactly. You…?
- They’re here.
- The Sherman twins are here? That’s unbelievable! Do you know Sandra Pepkin?
- Do I know Sandra Pepkin? Only the best blowjob in the Hadassah.
- So, if you know Sandra Pepkin, I fucked her best friend, the crippled, Pearl.
- Oh, Pearl in the wheelchair?
- Pearl in the wheelchair, exactly!
- Speaking of handicaps, do you know Marie Taylor?
- Yes, but Marie Taylor I don’t count her as. Marie Taylor is dyslexic. She put those…
Tampax in her nose.
- Ever fuck a blind girl?
- No, that I never did. You?
- Uh, they’re so grateful. Would you like a drink?
- You’re terrible. Could I get some tequila?
- Sure, sure, I’ve got great tequila. Why don’t you sit down, make yourself at home.
D’you want me to turn on the air conditioner?
- You’ve got air-conditioning here?
- Sure. Fucks up the ozone layer.
- Uh, gee, you know, I could be very comfortable down here.
- I’ll tell you something, Harry: I love it, I love it here. I wouldn’t be any place else.
There you go.
- Thank you.
- I’ve been offered a lot of jobs in your world, but… why should I be an employee? Here,
I’m my own boss. I’m free.
- What kind of jobs did they offer?
- For two years I ran a Hollywood studio, but you can’t trust those people.
- I agree. Better to rule down here than to serve in heaven. That’s Milton, I think.
(Deconstructing Harry, 1997)
Vorrei ringraziarti per questi post, non ricordavo il film, l’ho rivisto e mi ha toccato molto.
Mi ha anche ricordato qualcuno, ma é tutta un’altra storia.
