The History Boys
Hector: The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours.
For me, the quote above best sums up my feelings about the movie The History Boys. Lecheng pelikula yun...ang lakas ng tama. Anyway, ang daming magagandang quotes mula sa pelikula, at nasa ibaba ang ilan sa mga "paborito" ko. Medyo malabo siguro para sa mga hindi pa nakakapanood ng pelikula, pero ayos lang.
Scripps: Cheer up! At least he speaks to you. Most guys wouldn't even speak to you. Love can be very irritating.
Posner: How do you know?
Scripps: That's what I always thought about God. He must get so pissed off, everyone adoring him all the time.
Posner: Yes. Only you don't catch God poncing about in his underpants.
Scripps: Oh Pos, and your spaniel heart! It'll pass.
Posner: I know, it's a phase. What if I don't want it to pass? I wouldn't mind. But the pain, the pain!
Scripps: Mr. Hector would say it's the only education worth having.
Posner: Yes. I only wish we got marks for it.
Irwin: Has a boy ever made you unhappy?
Hector: They used to do. See it as an inoculation, rather. Briefly painful, but providing you with immunity for however long it takes. Given the occasional booster--another face, another reminder of the pain--it can last you...half a lifetime.
Plus, ang bahagi ng lyrics ng "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" na inawit ni Posner sa pelikula:
I'm wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep
When love came and told me, I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Lost my heart, but what of it
He is cold I agree
He can laugh, but I love it
Although the laugh's on me
I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And worship the trousers that cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
