Scent of a Woman : Memorable dialogues

I have decided to shift my loyalties from blog.com to blogspot.com.. So me shiftin all the posts to the blogspot.com. This is one of 'em. Read and enjoy!!
-----------------------------------------------------------
I was watching this classic the other day, and was moved by Al Pacino's acting for the umpteenth time. Theres a lot to learn from the movie and I thought, now that I am running out of ideas for cr8ive bloggin (not that this is creative :D) I could quote some of the dialogues that appear in the movie.

Tagline: Col. Frank Slade(Al Pacino) has a very special plan for the weekend. It involves travel, women, good food, fine wine, the tango, chauffeured limousines and a loaded forty-five. And he's bringing Charlie(Chris 'o Donnell) along for the ride.

Ok.. Lets start with what I consider as the greatest monolgue in the history of Hollywood with Denzel Washington's rambling in A training day coming a distant second..Al Pacino was given an oscar for best lead performance


Mr. Trask: I am gonna recommend to the disco that you be expelled Mr. Sims. You are a cover up artist and a liar.
Al Pacino: But not a snitch.
Mr. Trask: Excuse me.
Al Pacino: No I dont think I will. This is such a crock of shit!!
Mr. Trask: Plz watch your language. You are in the baird school not in the barracks

Al Pacino: What is your motto here? Boys, inform on your classmates.. save your hide. Anything short of that and we are gonna burn you at the stake. Well.. gentlemen.. When the shit hits the fan, some guys run and some guys stay. Heres Charlie facing the fire and theres George hiding in big daddy's pocket. And what are you doing? You're gonna reward George and destroy Charlie..

Al Pacino: Out of order, I show you out of order. You don't know what out of order is, Mr. Trask. I'd show you, but I'm too old, I'm too tired, I'm too fuckin' blind. If I were the man I was five years ago, I'd take a flamethrower to this place! Out of order? Who the hell do you think you're talkin' to? I've been around, you know? There was a time I could see. And I have seen. Boys like these, younger than these, their arms torn out, their legs ripped off. But there isn't nothin' like the sight of an amputated spirit. There is no prosthetic for that. You think you're merely sending this splendid foot soldier back home to Oregon with his tail between his legs, but I say you are... executin' his SOUL!! And why? Because he's not a Bairdman. Bairdmen. You hurt this boy, you're gonna be Baird bums, the lot of ya.

Al Pacino: I dunno if Charlie's silence here is right or wrong.. I am not a judge or jury. But I can tell you this. he wont sell anybody else to buy his future. And that my friends is called integrity.. thats called courage.. Now thats the stuff leaders shud be made of. Now I've come to the crossroads in my life. I always knew what the right path was.. without exception I always knew.. but i never took it.. because it was too damn hard. Now heres charlie.. he has come to crossroads.. He has chosen a path.. its the right path.. a path made of principle. Let him continue on his journey.. His future is in your hands committee.. Its a valuable future.. believe me.. dont destroy it.. protect it.. embrace it.. Its gonna make you proud one day. I promise you..



Al Pacino: When in doubt... fuck. (to his cat)



Al Pacino: Oh, uh, Charlie - about your little problem - there are two kinds of people in this world: those who stand up and face the music, and those who run for cover. Cover is better.



Al Pacino: Excuse me senorita.. do you mind if we join you? I feel you are being neglected here
Donna: Well i am expecting somebody
Al Pacino: Instantly?
Donna: No. But any minute now.
Al Pacino: Some people live a lifetime in a minute. What are you doing NOW?
Donna: I am waiting for him
Al pacino: Do you mind if WE waited with YOU? Just to keep the womanisers away from you.
Donna: Sure.

[Al knew her face cleanser, by scent]
Donna: Ah, that's amazing.
Al Pacino: Well, I'm in the amazing business.

Al Pacino: No mistakes in tango. Not like life. Simple.. thats what makes tango so great. Its simple..If you make a mistake you get tangled up.. just tango on

The conversation is followed by one of the best scenes in the movie.. the tango scene.


Al Pacino: You're in no position disagree with me, boy. I got a loaded .45 here. You got pimples.

Al Pacino: I'll blow your fuckin head off
Chris: Then do it. you wanna do it, do it.. Lets go.
Al Pacino: Get outta here.
Chris: You are fked up alright.. So what?? Everybody does it. Get on with your life.
Al Pacino: What life? I got no life.. I'm in the dark here.. Do you understand?? I am in the dark
Chris: You wanna give up?? Give up.. I am giving up too. We r both through.. Lets fkin do it.. Pull the trigger you blind motherfucker..

Al Pacino: You dont wanna die
Chris: Neither do you.
Al Pacino: Give me one reason not to
Chris: I'll give ya 2. You dance a tango and drive a ferrari better than anyone I have ever seen
Al Pacino: You have never seen anyone do either, have ya?

Chris: You know when we get back to the hampshire, I dunno why you cant find someone. You are good-lookin guy, you are fun to be with, a great travel companion, sensitive, compassionate..
Al Pacino: Charlie?? ... are you fucking with me??
Chris: (smiles) yes



Its Al's film all the way. Al as the blind colonel was amazing. Chris offers good support. One of the amazing scenes which I have not mentioned in the above paragraph is the ferrari scene.You need to watch it to feel it, believe it. The first half seemed to drag a tad bit, with Pacino swearing and using crude language. But the film blossoms into a real beauty in the second half. Is really inspirational. Has helped me out quite a bit in making decisions. All in all, a thoroughly entertaining affair. To tell it in a word.. Al Pacino rox!!! Whooh-hah

9 stars out of 10.. I dont give 9 stars very easily. :D Definitely one of the best movies I have ever watched. All comments are welcome. Please do remind me if I have forgotten any other dialogue.

I think you've forgotten the most and unforgettable which i like the most...
Al pacino describing women on their way to new york..here are some quotes...

"Women !

What can you say ?

Who made 'em ?

God must have been
a fuckin' genius.

The hair -

They say the hair
is everything, you know.

Have you ever buried your nose
in a mountain of curls...
and just wanted
to go to sleep forever ?

Or lips -
and when they touched,
yours were like...
that first swallow
of wine...
after you just crossed
the desert.

Tits ! Whoo-ah !
Big ones, little ones,

nipples staring
right out at ya...
Iike secret searchlights.

Mmm.

And legs --
I don't care if
they're Greek columns...
or secondhand Steinways.
What's between 'em,
passport to heaven.

there's only two syllables
in this whole wide world worth hearing:

pussy.
