Inspired by an excellent
McSweeney's piece, I thought I'd come up with some movies, in three lines or less.
Harold and Maude:
HAROLD
I love the shock of pretending to commit suicide. Oh, death, I yearn for you.
MAUDE
No! Live! Greet each morning with a breath of fire! Suicide isn't the answer... unless you're 80.
HAROLD
Maude....?
Mary Poppins
MR. BANKS
We rather need someone to take care of our ill-behaved moppets.
MARY
Indeed - but only until you have a mental breakdown and stumble out of the bank on a wooden leg named Smith. Spit-spot.
BERT
'Alo, 'alo! I 'ave a 'orrible cockney accen'... buy a kite, mister?
When Harry Met Sally
SALLY
I hate you, Harry.
HARRY
You love me, Sally.
SALLY
You're right, you're right. I know you're right.
... now, you!
