Quotes of Movie: "Early Edition" [1996]
|
Sometimes that's all a hero is, Chuck - the guy who's there. Chuck Fishman: What if you knew beyond a doubt what was going to happen tomorrow? Sure, I know it's crazy... but what if you did? Whether you'd be rich, or poor; a hero, or a loser; lucky in love, unlucky in life. What would you do? What if, by some magic, you found the power to really change things? People, events, maybe even your life? Would you even know where to start? Maybe you can't know. Until it happens. [voice over] Life doesn't always come with a set of instructions. In fact, most of the time it just comes. Every morning, like clockwork. It's there when you open your eyes, and it's still there even if you don't. [voice over] You go with what you got, and when what you got is tomorrow's news, well it's gotta be one of two things: either you're a day ahead, or everyone else is a day behind. | |

Some dances you sit out. Others, you change partners. The important thing is, you never stop dancing. [voice over] The trick is to assume your life is going to work out. Of course, it never does, so you do the next best thing: you take it one disaster at a time. There are sure-fire ways to get out of jury duty. Gary Hobson: Alright, well, what are they? Chuck Fishman: One, you have an incurable disease, with less then a year to live. Gary Hobson: Go on. Chuck Fishman: You're self-employed, and you have a wife and four kids to support. Gary Hobson: Next. Chuck Fishman: You believe every man is guilty until proven innocent. It works every time! Marissa, what do you say I make us both dinner? Marissa Clark: Sure, why not. [Spike barks] Gary Hobson: The three of us. [the cat meows] Gary Hobson: All right, dinner for four. [voice over] So maybe that's the secret, when you get right down to it: treat every day like it was your last, or your best. [voice over] It's easy to be cynical. Especially today, when it looks like all our heroes are crooks, our role models frauds. Every now and again, however, when you least expect it, the real thing comes along: someone who can find the heart inside the cynic and give those who hold nothing sacred something to believe in. It's not always easy telling the good from the bad, even if you do get tomorrow's paper today. Why, is why. Sometimes, to find the answers, you have to look in your heart. [voice over] There's all kind of courage out there. Hey, that person standing next to you on the subway car, in the supermarket, take a closer look next time. Who knows, it might be you're standing next to a hero. Oh yeah, a lot of people get families. Instead I get a cat. Marissa Clark: Heroes never have it easy. Gary Hobson: The only reason anyone ever called me a hero is because I get this paper, here. Marissa Clark: Maybe you get that paper because you're a hero. You know, that's just like you. Heaven passes right under your nose and you don't even blink. See, I have this thing about snakes. It"s called 'fear of death." But you get tomorrow's newspaper, which may I add is a real ice-breaker. Gary Hobson: Where is it coming from? Marissa Clark: The hallway. Gary Hobson: That's not what I meant. Marissa Clark: Maybe it comes from God. Gary Hobson: Yeah, God's a cosmic paperboy. Welcome back. So, you like your food lukewarm or cold? I can baby-sit or whatever it is you do with an eight year old. Marissa: Gary, you don't even like kids. Gary: I do too like kids. From a distance, they're all right. You know, sometimes when people get older, they lose a little faith. Henry: But, if you lose it, can they get it back? Gary: I'm working on it, kid. Sun-Times! Get your Sun-Times here! [Gary walks past] Seller: Hey, Mister! Latest edition! Gary: That's what you think kid. [yelling at the cat] What is this, huh? I come in down here to turn off one lousy circuit breaker, the next thing I know I'm in 1929. There's gangsters running around. They're trying to kill me. And don't think I don't know you're involved in this! I tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna turn this lamp off, do you hear me? I'm gonna turn this lamp off and when I turn it back on, I want to be in my own time. Do we understand each other?" [Gary turns lamp off] Cat: Meow. [Gary turns lamp on and nothing has changed] Cat: Purrrrr. Gary: Well, that's just great! Opportunity doesn't knock, it presents itself when you beat down the door. Lois Hobson: Chuck, I have this condition; the doctors call it Crap Intolerance, I can only take so much BS before I explode. Howzat? What, am I supposed to run around in a little red cape and save the world? Count the living, not the dead, Gary. | |
