      Bio

      Foreword

      There’s a special relationship that exists between fans and the films they love. For true fans, movies are more than just a plastic DVD case on the shelf or an iTunes playlist. Movies are a part of their identity, a lens they see the world through and, sometimes, a testament to how they live their lives.

      Fans are the backbone of the entertainment industry. This core idea is what led to the formation of our company Legion M: an entertainment and media company, not merely dedicated to serving devoted film lovers, but owned by fans as well.

      Our experiences over the past two years have driven home the degree to which fans are the lifeblood of the film industry. Many who work in Hollywood and who make the films we all love become jaded at the cynical demands of studio executives, or at cuts made to satisfy the whims of focus groups. But when a movie finds its audience, there’s no room for cynicism. As Ray Kinsella from Field of Dreams put it, when a film connects with a fan, It’s as though all the cosmic tumblers have clicked into place and the universe opens itself up for a few seconds to show you what’s possible.

      We love movies and we love great quotes from those movies. You hold in your hands the very best kind of film quote book. In its pages, you will find lines that you already know by heart. But next to them, you may find others you can’t quite place, or from movies you have never seen. In this, the book is an invitation to see films you may have missed, or to reconnect with films you may have forgotten. Don’t worry if you’ve been stumped—take it as a challenge: go watch a movie!

      Not only will you discover great films to watch, it will also help you find the right words for the right occasions—but that, in a way, still allow your own personality to shine through.

      As Morpheus from The Matrix says, There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. Use these words. Mold them. Speak them. Enjoy them. Share them. Live them. Love them.

      Paul Scanlan, CEO Legion M

      Introduction

      It was 1 p.m. and I was already drinking, sitting in a bar in my old hometown surrounded by people I had gone to high school with but didn’t really talk to anymore. Earlier that day, I had been pulled over and given the first speeding ticket of my life. I had been going seventy in a fifty-five zone, racing to get supplies for my family. My soon-to-be brother-in-law didn’t even have time to get out his service member card and explain the situation to the officer before the ticket was in my hand. So there I sat, screwdriver in hand, with a blank notebook in front of me. It was 1 p.m. and my sister was getting married in two hours. I was the minister, set to give a speech on love and commitment in front of hundreds of family members and friends. And I had nothing. Absolutely nothing.

      Approximately one hour and forty-five minutes later, I stood to the side of my family’s wrap-around porch in the podunk town of Newman, CA. Guests were being seated under the shady trees of the long gravel driveway. Flower petals were being sprinkled down the porch staircase. My sister was pacing in her gown having just finished pictures. It was all so lovely.  And I still had nothing. Absolutely nothing.

      I’ll admit that by this point I was slightly inebriated and completely panicked. And like any other time when I’ve been at a loss for words, I turned to my bank of movie knowledge for inspiration. I tried to remember famous quotes about love. Well-known, cheeky one-liners to get me through with a few chuckles while I BS’ed my way to the I do’s.  But every line was too well-known. Clichéd. So expected.

      So at the last minute, I decided to completely steal a speech from writer-director Joss Whedon’s Serenity (2005), a film about space cowboys fighting a bureaucratic government alliance between the US and China that had accidentally created roving space cannibals and were trying to cover it up. Oh, and it’s loosely based on the post-Civil War politics of the Wild West. I’m a good brother, I thought aloud as I scribbled the speech down between sips of my third vodka-laced juice.

      And you know, I wasn’t far off. The speech went over so well that I had people asking me to write it down for them. How did you come up with that speech? my grandmother asked in awe. When I told her I hadn’t, but had stolen it from a character lovingly referred to as Captain Tightpants, first she looked confused, and then she shrugged. You never know where something good will come from, she said as she patted my cheek.

      It ain’t all buttons and charts, little albatross. You know what the first rule of flying is? Love. You can learn all the math in the ‘verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don’t love, she’ll shake you off as sure as the turn of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she ought to fall down. Tells you she’s hurting before she keens. Makes her a home.

      —Capt. Malcom Reynolds (Nathan Fillion), Serenity (2005)

      Years later, I would think about how right she was. "Anyone
