When Humphrey Bogart says "Not particularly my beloved Paris" in the movie Casablanca is mine.

This is a much older quote (originally from the Greek philosopher Epicurus) but is used in the movie, Franklyn.

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"
Hail to thyself
For I am my own master
I am my own god
I require no shepherd
For I am no sheep.

Pretoria is the same: I'm glad I almost never have to go to the city centre as it is crime ridden and drug infested (and I lived there for eleven years!)

When I had my interview, I told the director about Full Metal Jacket and how you had to be 21 to see it here back then but if you were 17, you could be forced into army service 😳😳💩

Crazy, Trevor. Over here the complaint I used to hear a lot was, "Old enough to die for your country, but too young to buy a beer."

Pig (2021) -

Rob: They're not real. You get that, right? None of it is real. The critics aren't real. The customers aren't real. Because... *this* isn't real.

Chef Finway: [laughing awkwardly] Okay...

Rob: Derek, why do you care about these people? They don't care about you. None of them. They don't even know you because you haven't shown them. Every day, you'll wake up, and there'll be less of you. You live your life for them, and they don't even see you. You don't even see yourself.

[long pause; Derek's tight smile has slowly faded into a look of sorrow and regret]

Rob: We don't get a lot of things to really care about.

^^^This.

I dunno if they still do this, but in the mid-90s the US armed forces (all 4 branches) had some kind of list of all young American men who were about to turn 18 and/or graduate high school. I was both and they started calling my house via landline in a time before real caller ID tech. I'd received a few such calls urging me to enlist in the Army, Navy, or AF when I got one from a pushy Marine recruiter and snaaaapped.

"Why do you think you're not cut out to be a Marine, son?" he asked.

"Because I've seen FULL METAL JACKET and I know I would end up exactly like Private Pyle."

They obviously had a well-annotated database and all took it seriously. I say that 'cause the dude thanked me, hung up, and I never received another phone call from recruiters after that.   :bouncegiggle:
