1)Wanda:
I hate people. Henry: I don't. I just like it better
when they're not around.
2)
Henry: I remember ordering a draught, barkeep. What,
are you out of brew, or has that lobotomy finally taken hold?
3)
Eddie: I'd hate to be you if I were me.
4)
Tully: Why did you send your stuff to us? Henry:
Well, I liked the title of the mag. It boggled my scrotum.
Tully: Why don't you stop drinking? Anybody can be a drunk. Henry:
Anybody can be a non-drunk. It takes a special talent to be a drunk. It takes
endurance. Endurance is more important than truth.
5)
Henry: This is a world where everybody's gotta do
something. Y'know, somebody laid down this rule that everybody's gotta do something,
they gotta be something. You know, a dentist, a glider pilot, a narc, a janitor,
a preacher, all that. [sighs] Sometimes I just get
tired of thinking of all the things that I don't wanna do. All the things that
I don't wanna be. Places I don't wanna go, like India, like getting my teeth cleaned.
Save the whale, all that, I don't understand that. Jim:
You're not supposed to think about it. I think the whole trick is, not to think
about it.
6)
Henry: So you hired a dick to find an asshole?
Review: The film
takes place in a shit-hole of a bar where the same regulars sit at the same bar
stools every day. The cool thing about this movie is that the plot is not structured
so that one thing leads to another. It's a day in the life of an alcoholic (played
brilliantly by Mickey Rourke) and his bizarre interactions with those around him.
It's a film like no other. -Review by Aaron Caldwell
