I want to be a cynic...

Cateva dintre cele mai memorabile personaje cinice (sau sarcastice, ironice etc) sau cel putin atatea cate mi-am putut stoarce intr-o seara in care ma sufocam in lapsus-uri.

Four Weddings and a funeral
Fiona - Kristin Scott Thomas

Charles: Any idea who the girl in the black hat is?
Fiona: The name's Carrie.
Charles: Pretty.
Fiona: American.
Charles: Interesting.
Fiona: Slut.
Charles: Really?
Fiona: Used to work at Vogue. Lives in America now. Only gets out with very glamorous people. Quite out of your league.
Charles: Well, that's a relief. Thanks.

Fiona: Where's Gareth?
Matthew: Torturing Americans.
Fiona: How thoughtful of him.

Fiona: There's a sort of greatness to your lateness.
Charles: Thanks, it's not achieved without real suffering.


Dangerous Liaisons
Marquise de Merteuil - Glenn Close

Marquise de Merteuil: You'll find the shame is like the pain, you only feel it once.

Vicomte de Valmont: You see, I have no intention of breaking down her prejudices. I want her to believe in God and virtue and the sanctity of marriage, and still not be able to stop herself. I want the excitement of watching her betray everything that's is most important to her. Surely you understand that. I thought betrayal was your favorite word.
Marquise de Merteuil: No, no..."cruelty." I always think that has a nobler ring to it.


Wolf
Will Randall - Jack Nicholson

Mary: Is the worm turning, Mr. Randall?
Will Randall: The worm has turned and it is now packing an Uzi, Mary.
Mary: It's about f***ing time, sir.

Will Randall: I did it the old fashioned way.
Charlotte Randall: What do you mean?
Will Randall: I begged.


The last seduction
Bridget - Linda Fiorentino

Bridget Gregory: Could you leave? Please?
Mike Swale: I haven't finished charming you yet.
Bridget Gregory: You haven't started.
Mike Swale: Gimme a chance.
Bridget Gregory: Look, go find yourself a nice little cowgirl and make nice little cowbabies and leave me alone.
Mike Swale: I'm hung like a horse. Think about it.

Bridget Gregory: Is it true what they say?
Harlan: What?
Bridget Gregory: You know, size?
Harlan: Is it true what they say about white women?
Bridget Gregory: What's that?
Harlan: No ass.
Bridget Gregory: Oh, come on. I was wondering for real. Let me see it.
Harlan: F**k you. Drive.
Bridget Gregory: I'm sorry.
Harlan: About what?
Bridget Gregory: About your shortcoming.
Harlan: I'm not gonna play this game.
Bridget Gregory: Is that why you carry a big gun?
Harlan: The Freudian mind-f**k isn't gonna work either.
Bridget Gregory: Ooh, touchy. I'm sure your woman is very understanding.
Harlan: Exactly how is it that we end this phase of our relationship?
Bridget Gregory: By you showing it to me. Come on, let me see it. I've never seen one before.

Mike Swale: I'm trying to figure out whether you're a total f***ing bitch or not.
Bridget Gregory: I am a total f***ing bitch.


Reality Bites
Troy - Ethan Hawke

Troy Dyer: [answering the phone] Hello, you've reached the winter of our discontent.

Troy Dyer: There's no point to any of this. It's all just a... a random lottery of meaningless tragedy and a series of near escapes. So I take pleasure in the details. You know... a Quarter-Pounder with cheese, those are good, the sky about ten minutes before it starts to rain, the moment where your laughter become a cackle... and I, I sit back and I smoke my Camel Straights and I ride my own melt.

Troy Dyer: I am not under any orders to make the world a better place.

Troy Dyer: [On answering machine] At the beep, please leave your name, number, and a brief justification for the ontological necessity of modern man's existential dilemma, and we'll get back to you

Lelaina: I just don't understand why things just can't go back to normal at the end of the half hour like on the Brady Bunch or something.
Troy Dyer: Well, 'cause Mr. Brady died of AIDS. Things don't turn out like that.


Ginger Snaps
Ginger - Katharine Isabelle

Ginger: [Playing with a kitchen knife] Wrists are for girls. I'm slitting my throat.

Ginger: [suicide note] No comment.


Severance
lots:P

Richard: There are no bears in Hungary. Unless we've crossed the border into Romania, in which case there ARE bears. If we're in Serbia, then... I don't know.
Harris: That's really interesting, Richard. Tell me something: are bears required to stop at borders? Is there some sort of, I don't know, passport control for bears?

Richard: I can't spell success without "u". And you, and you, and you...
Harris: There's only one "u" in success.

Gordon: Shall I make a cup of tea?

Steve: Shit, I've left Gordon's foot on the coach... sorry mate

Billy: Dating's complicated in England.
Steve: English birds ain't complicated. You buy 'em a Bacardi Breezer and they'll ride you like Sea Biscuit.


The libertine
Rochester - Johnny Depp

Rochester: This is your first season on the London stage?
Elizabeth Barry: It is, my lord.
Rochester: Mrs. Barry, you must acquire the trick of ignoring those who do not like you. In my experience, those who do not like you fall into two categories: The stupid and the envious. The stupid will like you in five years time. The envious, never.

Rochester: I don't mean to upset people, but I must speak my mind. For what's in my mind is far more interesting than what's outside my mind.
Alcock: Makes you impossible to live with, though. You see?
Rochester: Did I once praise you for your blunt manner?
Alcock: It was your reason for employing me.
Rochester: It could as easy be your grounds for dismissal

Rochester: I wish to be moved. I cannot feel in life. I must have others do it for me in theater.

Rochester: But life is not a succession of urgent "nows". It's a listless trickle of "why should I's".

Rochester: Did you miss me?
Jane: I missed the money.
Rochester: Good. I don't like a whore with sentiment.

Rochester: All men would be cowards if they only had the courage.
