Bull Durham
In one of Crash's many memorable diatribes to Annie, this one about respecting the streak:
"If you believe you're playing well because you're getting _loved_, or because you're not getting _loved_, or because you wear women's underwear, then you ARE! And you should know that!"
This one is not that bad uncensored, but I really enjoy the cleaned up version.
Sideways
When Miles and Jack are arguing on the golf course and a golfer hits into them, Thomas Haden Church's character yells:
"Not cool, _Ashcroft_!"
I suggest you consider using "Ashcroft" when needed.

And now a high school (maybe junior high school) English class flashback courtesy of Ovation TV. Ovation has been showing the 1968 movie version of A Midsummer Night's Dream. I think we watched all or some of this in school, though again on the details... I'm not fully certain. This version was insane and possibly brilliant. At the time, only the insanity struck me. With quick edits, green painted sprites, go-go attire and shaky hand-held cinematography, it was, as they say, a trip.
Remember how there was always someone in class who after reading a crazy poem or anything weird would say "What kind of drugs were they on when they wrote that?" and everyone but you would laugh? Well, here was an instance where it may have been justified. This version was done by the Royal Shakespeare Company Academy and featured such notable actors as Ian Holm, Judi Dench and Helen Mirren. Still, it was nuts. To come across something that strange and obscure then realize that I had seen it before is pretty cool. So, hip-hip-huzzah for the teacher who let/made us watch that back at Cave Spring. Maybe you did expand my world. That it's taken me twenty years to realize it... that's ok, right?
