A little note to fellow Pride and Prej fanatics: I was in Somerset last week visiting my godfather (who, by the way gave me a rather exceptional set of Jane Austen which I have not been able to stop reading) and I got a chance to go to Stourhead in Wiltshire, one of the National Trust's more beautiful gardens. The garden is the location of the Temple of Apollo, or as Stephen more aptly calls it, the Temple of Keira, as it is where the first proposal scene in the Keira Knightley P&P was filmed. It is absolutely beautiful, and I can say the film doesn't really do it justice.
Anyway, I came back to the blog with a similar thought in my mind. The title of this particular post is a quote that has been running through my mind all morning, and I wanted to know if I had been clever enough to list it in the last P&P competition. I wasn't. Oh well.
Anyway, I thought it was time to launch a new quote-off, and this one may be a bit more widely acceptable, because it's a film I know a lot of people absolutely love and could quote until the end of time. Ladies and gents, the film for the quote-off for this week is....
FORREST GUMP!!!!
I know how amazingly quotable this film is, so I expect a lot of 'em.
Usual rules apply, no looking stuff up, and no quoting what someone else has already put down.
Let's say the quote-off ends Friday.
HAVE FUN!!
Much love. x

Oh I am all over this shit.
Let's start with the best and brightest,
Forrest: Lieutenant Dan, I brought you some ice cream. LIEUTENANT DAN, ICE CREAAAAAM!
Forrest: You know what I think. I think...you should come home with me to Greenbow ALABAMA.
Jenny: Have you ever been with a girl, Forrest?
Forrest: I sit next to them all the time in my home economics class.
(Jenny takes off her bra, Forrest has an episode, apologizes)
Jenny: Bet that never happened in Home Ec.
Forrest: No...
Arguably the best line,
Forrest: But you ain't got no legs Lieutenant Dan.
But sadly I don't remember the preceding dialogue.
There's no competition, Michelle, but I'll just state the obvious. Namely,
"Life is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you're gonna get"
"Run, Forest! Run!"
"JENNY!"
"Shit happens"
Also, I really wish I knew the list of shrimp-based meals, but I don't. And I am being told that the preceding line that Michelle has forgotten is
Lieutenant Dan: "I just need to get my sea legs"
"Stupid is as stupid does"
I should probably upgrade my copy to DVD...
