MATAR A UN RUISEÑOR, Robert Mulligan (1962)

- If you shouldn't be defending him, then why are you doing it?
- For a number of reasons. The main one is that if I didn't, I couldn't hold my head up in town. I couldn't even tell you or Jem not to do somethin' again.

- I apologize... for not being entirely honest with you. I apologize for not revealing my true feelings. I apologize, sir, for not telling you sooner that you're a degenerate, sadistic old man. And you can go to hell before I apologize to you now or ever again!

- Let's hear it again.
- The party of the first part shall be known in this contract as the party of the first part.
- That sounds a little better this time.
- Well, it grows on you. Would you like to hear it once more?
- Er... just the first part.
- What do you mean? The... the party of the first part?
- No, the first part of the party of the first part.
- All right. It says the, uh, "The first part of the party of the first part shall be known in this contract as the first part of the party of the first part shall be known in this contract..." look, why should we quarrel about a thing like this? We'll take it right out, eh?

EL BUSCAVIDAS, Robert Rossen (1961)



- You can't see it, can you, Charlie? I mean, you've never been able to see it. I came after him. And I'm gonna get him. I'm goin' with him all the way. The pool game is not over until Minnesota Fats says it's over. Is it over, Fats?

DOCE HOMBRES SIN PIEDAD, Sidney Lumet (1957)



- It's hard to put into words. I just think he's guilty. I thought it was obvious from the word, 'Go'. Nobody proved otherwise.

LA GRAN EVASIÓN, John Sturgess (1955)

EL HOMBRE TRANQUILO, John Ford (1952)



- If anybody had told me six months ago that today I'd be in a graveyard in Innisfree with a girl like you that I'm just about to kiss, I'd have told 'em...
- Oh, but the kisses are a long way off yet!
- Huh?
- Well, we just started a-courtin', and next month, we, we start the walkin' out, and the month after that there'll be the threshin' parties, and the month after that...
- Nope.
- Well, maybe we won't have to wait that month...
