I must confess, though, I not only googled the quote, I googled the Portuguese. I'm a Xmas fraud.

The equivalent of a shopping mall Santa. It's Christmas so I'll forgive and forget. Quote away.

Re: Criterion DVD Quote Game
I'm feeling in the mood for another round of the quote game, so hope it is OK to post another quote. Here's an easy one:
"I tell you, every letter this guy writes you is the same. They all begin like true love and descend into open pornography."

Surprised nobody has answered yet, maybe everyone feels it's too easy.
It's the character of Alex played by Ewan McGregor in Shallow Grave who says it while reading a letter addressed to Kerry Fox' character.

I'll go:
"I only stole a few coins. A petty thief. But you've killed hundreds and robbed whole domains. Who is wicked, you or I?"

Re: Criterion DVD Quote Game
Great quote. I'm sure similar hypocrisies have been pointed out in similar ways throughout history, but I still wonder if that was meant as an homage to St. Augustine, who wrote in The City of God,
An apt and true reply was given to Alexander the Great by a pirate who had been seized. For when that king had asked the man what he meant by keeping hostile possession of the sea, he answered with bold pride. "What thou meanest by seizing the whole earth; but because I do it with a petty ship, I am called a robber, whilst thou who dost it with a great fleet art styled emperor."

Re: Criterion DVD Quote Game
Got an easy but somehow always timely one from a recent viewing:
"I don't know what the government is coming to. Instead of protecting businessmen, it pokes its nose into business. Why, they're even talking now about having bank examiners. As if we bankers don't know how to run our own banks!"

The image of Kurosawa sitting down to read some Augustine somehow really makes me smile.Gregory wrote:...

You've got me stumped vsski! Withnail & I maybe?
Here's another quote while we are guessing:
"First I thought it was that apple for sure…then I sunk my teeth into that peach and…I just couldn’t seem to make up my mind. So I sampled the apple again. So it goes…first one, then the other."
