| So it was a bit too romantic,
even for a chick flick, but there were some great lines in
this 2001 time travel movie where Leopold meets Kate 100's
of years out of his timezone. Hugh Jackman is funny, charming
and sexy as Leopold and Meg Ryan, of course, plays his romantic
leading lady.
Kate:
I'm not very good with men.
Leopold:
Perhaps you haven't found the right one.
Kate:
Maybe. Or, uh... maybe that whole love thing is just a grown-up
version of Santa Claus; just a myth we've been fed since childhood.
So, we keep buying magazines, joining clubs, and doing therapy
and watching movies with hit pop songs played over love montages
all in a pathetic attempt to explain why our love Santa keeps
getting caught in the chimney.
Leopold:
Are you suggesting madam that there exists a law compelling
a gentleman to lay hold of canine bowel movements?
Police Officer:
I'm suggesting that you pick the poop up.
Leopold:
I tell you, that thing is a damn hazard!
Kate:
It's just a toaster!
Leopold:
Why is it called a toaster when it produces no toast, but
simply warm bread, and inserting it two times produces charcoal?
The ideal toaster would have one and a half insertions to
produce the correct toast.
Kate:
You know something? Nobody gives a rat's ass that you have
to push the toast down twice, and you know why? Because everybody
pushes their toast down twice!
Leopold:
Not where I come from!
Kate:
Oh, right. Where you come from, toast is a result of reflection
and study!
Charlie:
Don't you think it's time you told me who you are. I mean,
don't get me wrong, doing the Duke thing with you 24/7 is
a blast, but really. Who are you?
Leopold:
I'm the man ... that loves your sister.
Leopold:
Do you require a chaperone? His intentions are obvious.
Kate: We're together, and we don't have a chaperone.
Leopold:
Yes, but we are not courting. If I did have affections for
you, as a man of honor, I would tell you of them in writing.
Talking to himself ...
Leopold:
Ah Miss Blaine, you dance like a herd of cattle. You are a
rare woman who lights up a room simply by leaving it!
to Charlie ...
Leopold:
Is it your habit sir, to simply enter a conversation without
introduction?
He has chased and cornered a bag snatcher, while
on horseback ...
Leopold:
I warn you scoundrel, I was trained at the King's Academy
and schooled in weaponry by the palace guard. You stand no
chance. When you run, I shall ride, when you stop, the steel
of this strap shall be lodged in your brain.
Leopold:
Some feel that to court a woman in one's employ is nothing
more than a serpentine effort to transform a lady into a whore.
Kate: Are you for real?
Leopold:
I believe so.
