Nyckeln till framgång

Nyckeln till framgång (1987)

[after sex]

Brantley Foster:
Can I make a personal observation?
Vera Prescott:
Um, anything but the thighs.
Brantley Foster:
You know, somebody sold you a bill of goods and convinced you you had to be 21 forever. That’s bullshit. I think you’re terrific; I think the only thing wrong with you is your husband is a jerk. You’re beautiful, you’re intelligent, you’re sensuous…
Vera Prescott:
Say that again!
Brantley Foster:
Which part?
Vera Prescott:
All of it!
[sounds of car]

Vera Prescott:
Oh, no.
Brantley Foster:
What, what is it?
Vera Prescott:
It’s the jerk.
[Brantley rushes to the window]

Vera Prescott:
My husband.
Brantley Foster:
My uncle!
Vera Prescott:
Your what?
Brantley Foster:
Oh God, that makes you…
Vera Prescott:
Auntie Vera?
Brantley Foster:
Oh! God!
[Vera laughs]

Brantley Foster:
Oh God, oh God, oh God! What’s my mother going to say? I’ve disgraced my whole family!
Vera Prescott:
Oh, the hell you did!

Carol Connelly:
I’m so afraid you’re about to say something awful.
Melvin Udall:
Don’t be pessimistic, it’s not your style. Okay. Here I go. Clearly a mistake.
[shifts in his seat uncomfortably]

Melvin Udall:
I’ve got this, what, ailment? My doctor, a shrink that I used to go to all the time, he says that in fifty or sixty percent of the cases, a pill really helps. I hate pills. Very dangerous thing, pills. Hate. I’m using the word ”hate” here, about pills. Hate. My compliment is, that night when you came over and told me that you would never… all right, well, you were there, you know what you said. Well, my compliment to you is, the next morning, I started taking the pills.
Carol Connelly:
I don’t quite get how that’s a compliment for me.
Melvin Udall:
You make me want to be a better man.
[pause]

Carol Connelly:
[stunned]
That’s maybe the best compliment of my life.

Maya:
[to Navy SEALs]
Quite frankly, I didn’t even want to use you guys, with your dip and velcro and all your gear bullshit. I wanted to drop a bomb. But people didn’t believe in this lead enough to drop a bomb.
