A Cinderella Story

Austin (Chad Michael Murray): Okay, I know you think I'm just some...
Sam: Coward? Phony?
Austin: Okay, just listen.
Sam: No, you listen. You turned out to be exactly who I thought you were. I never pretended to be somebody else. It's been me all along. And it was me who was hurt in front of everybody. Look, I didn't come here to yell at you, okay? I know what it feels like to be afraid to show who you are. I was. But not anymore. And the thing is, I don't care what people think about me... because I believe in myself. And I know that things are gonna be okay. But even though I have no family, and no job, and no money for college... it's you that I feel sorry for. (pause) I know that guy that sent those emails is somewhere inside of you, but, I can't wait for him... because waiting for you is like waiting for rain in this drought. Useless and disappointing.

Addams Family Values, Wednesday Addams

How. I am Pocahontas, a Chippewa maiden.

We have brought a special gift for this holiday feast.

Thank you, Sarah Miller. You're the most beautiful person I've ever seen. Your hair is the color of the sun, your skin is like fresh milk, and everyone loves you.    Wait, we cannot break bread with you. You have taken the land which is rightfully ours. Years from now my people will be forced to live in mobile homes on reservations. Your people will wear cardigans, and drink highballs. We will sell our bracelets by the road sides, and you will play golf. My people will have pain and degradation. Your people will have stick shifts. The gods of my tribe have spoken. They said do not trust the pilgrims. And especially do not trust Sarah Miller. For all these reasons I have decided to scalp you and burn your village to the ground.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KFVLWX7eEY

    Ferris Bueller: The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It's a good non-specific symptom. A lot of people will tell you that a phony fever is a dead lock, but if you get a nervous mother, you could land in the doctor's office. That's worse than school. What you do is, you fake a stomach cramp, and when you're bent over, moaning and wailing, (confidentally) you lick your palms. It's a little childish and stupid, but then, so is high school.

    I did have a test today. That wasn't b.s. It's on European socialism. I mean, really, what's the point? I'm not European, I don't plan on being European, so who gives a crap if they're socialist? They could be fascist anarchists - that still wouldn't change the fact that I don't own a car. Not that I condone fascism, or any ism for that matter. Isms in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an ism - he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon: "I don't believe in Beatles - I just believe in me." A good point there. Of course, he was the Walrus. I could be the Walrus - I'd still have to bum rides off of people.

Mean Girls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LORyEX_5czg

    Regina: Let me tell you something about Janis Ian. We were best friends in middle school. (makes a face) I know right, it's soooo embarrassing. I don’t even…whatever. So then in eighth grade I started going out with my first boyfriend Kyle, who was totally gorgeous but then he moved to Indiana--and Janis was like, weirdly jealous of him. Like if I would blow her off to hang out with Kyle, she'd be like "Why didn't you call me back?!" and I'd be like, "Uh, why are you so obsessed with me?" So then for my birthday party, which was an all girls pool party, I was like, "Janyce, I can't invite you because I think you're a lesbian" I mean, I couldn't have a lesbian at my party! There were going to be girls there in their bathing suits! I mean right, she was a lesbian! So then her mom called my mom and started yelling at her and it was so retarded and then she dropped out of school 'cause no one would talk to her and she came back in the fall for high school and her hair was all cut off and she was totally weird and now I guess she's on crack. (gasps and turns) Oh my God! I love your skirt, where did you get it? That’s the ugliest fing skirt I’ve ever seen.

Election

Tammy: Who cares about this stupid election? We all know it doesn't matter who gets elected president of Carver. Do you really think it's going to change anything around here? Make one single person smarter? or nicer? The only person it does matter to is the one that gets elected. The same pathetic charade happens every year and everyone makes the same pathetic promises just so they can put it on their transcripts to get into college. So vote for me, because I don't even want to go to college and I don't care. As president, I won't do anything. The only promise I will make is that, if elected, I will immediately dismantle the student government so that none of us has to sit through one of these stupid assemblies again. Or don't vote for me. Who cares? Don't vote at all!

 Clueless

Travis: This is so unexpected, I, uh, I didn't even have a speech prepared. Uh, but I would like to say this: Tardiness is not something you can do all on your own. Many, many people contributed to my tardiness. Uh, I'd like to thank my parents for never giving me a ride to school, the L.A. city bus driver for taking a chance on an unknown kid, and, uh, last but not least, the wonderful crew at McDonalds for spending hours making those egg McMuffins, without which I might never be tardy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8-_aJ1BiFE

 Clueless

Cher: So, OK, like right now, for example, the Haitians need to come to America. But some people are all "What about the strain on our resources?" But it's like, when I had this garden party for my father's birthday right? I said R.S.V.P. because it was a sit-down dinner. But people came that like, did not R.S.V.P. so I was like, totally buggin'. I had to haul ass to the kitchen, redistribute the food, squish in extra place settings, but by the end of the day it was like, the more the merrier! And so, if the government could just get to the kitchen, rearrange some things, we could certainly party with the Haitians. And in conclusion, may I please remind you that it does not say R.S.V.P. on the Statue of Liberty?

Can't Hardly Wait

Preston: Look, I don't know about you, but I really believe that there is one person out there ... for everybody. That's what this is about ... (points to letter he is holding in his hand) It's not just some sappy love letter telling her how my heart stops everytime that I see her. It's in there though. It's not just to tell her that I think she's more than just the homecoming queen. Or Mike's girlfriend. That there is this amazing person inside her that nobody bothers to see. It's in there too ... but, what it's really about, is that if she'd just give me a chance, just one chance ... maybe we could find out if there is a reason for all of this. Why she's not with Mike tonight and after four years, I'm still here with this letter. Maybe we could find out what that reason is. Y'know? It's time to find out. I think I'm ready to do this. Finally. Any words of encouragement?

The Goonies

Chunk: Everything. Okay! I'll talk! In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max's toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog...When my mom sent me to the summer camp for fat kids and then they served lunch I got nuts and I pigged out and they kicked me out...But the worst thing I ever done -- I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa -- and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life.

High School Musical-

Forget about the rest of us,

how about the fact

that your brother has worked

extremely hard on this show?

Oh, boo-hoo. He'll be in the show.

He'll do his celebrity impersonations.

And don't lecture me about Ryan,

given the way you've been interfering

with Troy's future.

You've gotten him written up by Fulton

for sneaking on the golf course,

swimming after hours.

I had to step in just to save Troy's job.

I'm not interested in what you think

you're doing for Troy.

That's between you and him.

But you're messing with my friends,

my summer,

and that's not okay with me.

You don't like the fact that I won.

What's the prize? Troy?

The Star Dazzle Award?

You have to go through all of this

just to get either one?

No, thanks, Sharpay.

You're very good at a game

that I don't want to play,

so I'm done here.

But you better step away

from the mirror

long enough to check the damage

that will always be right behind you.

Scream Queens

Chanel: How did this happen? (crowd booing, clamoring) I mean, I'm all for public shaming. I practically invented it. It's the sign of a healthy culture. But not when I'm the one getting shamed. I wanted to be famous, but not like this. Chanel! Chanel! What does it feel like to be the most hated woman in America? What about an apology, Chanel? Man: Ms. Oberlin, any comment at this time? (crowd quiets, cameras continue snapping) Yes. I would like to comment. To all the so-called mainstream media, including weird Web sites that nobody has heard of who have used my name as clickbait, and to all the relentless unwashed hordes on Twitter, who have taken every opportunity to mock and attack me mercilessly from the safety of their stained futons, I offer the following heartfelt sentiment. You can all suck it!

Mean Girls- Cady

Well, half the people in this room

are mad at me.

And the other half only like me

because they think I pushed

somebody in front of a bus.

So that's not good.

You know, it's not really required

of you to make a speech.

I'm almost done, I swear.

To all the people whose feelings

that got hurt by the Burn Book,

I'm really sorry.

You know, I've never been

to one of these things before.

And when I think about

how many people wanted this

and how many people

cried over it and stuff...

I mean, I think everybody

looks like royalty tonight.

Look at Jessica Lopez.

That dress is amazing.

And Emma Gerber, I mean,

that hairdo must have taken hours,

and you look really pretty.

So...

over this thing?

I mean, it's just plastic.

Could really just...

Share it.

A piece for Gretchen Wieners,

a partial Spring Fling Queen.

A piece for Janis Ian.

Seriously, most people

just take the crown and go.

And a piece for Regina George.

She fractured her spine,

and she still looks like a rock star.

Thank you.

And some for everybody else.

God, Mr. Duvall, can you wrap it up?

Thanks.

Goonies- Male Dramatic

Home? What home? In a couple more hours it ain't going to be home any more. Come on, guys, this is our time, our last chance to see if there really is any rich stuff.

(Whispering to himself) Chester Copperpot...Chester Copperpot... (Out loud, to the rest) Chester Copperpot! Don't you guys see? Don't you realize? He was a pro. He never made it this far. Look how far we've come. We've got a chance.

Maybe Chunk already got to the police.

Don't say that. Never say that. Goonies never say "die".

I forgot. But still...don't you realize? The next time we see sky it'll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school. Our parents, they want the bestest stuff for us.

But right now they gotta do what's right for them, 'cause it's their time. Their time, up there. Down here it's our time. It's our time down here. That's all over the second we ride up "Troy's bucket".

I don't want to live here anymore. I don't want these sketches. I don't want this Xbox. Not gonna need this bourbon anymore. Alaric is not here to drink it, I mean, unless you guys are willing to bring back every supernatural creature on the other side to get him hick. Would you? I know you want your drinking buddy back. Would you, Damon? Because I wouldn't. I don't know. I mean, does that make me a bad person?

Do you guys know what I did to get in here? I taped Larry Lester’s buns together. Yeah, you know him? Well then, you know how hairy he is, right? Well, when they pulled the tape off, most of his hair came off and some skin too. And the bizarre thing is, is that I did it for my old man. I tortured this poor kid because I wanted him to think I was cool. He’s always going off about, you know, when he was in school, all the wild things he used to do, and I got the feeling that he was disappointed that I never cut loose on anyone, right? So, I’m sitting in the locker room and I’m taping up my knee and Larry’s undressing a couple lockers down from me and he’s kinda, kinda skinny, weak, and I started thinking about my father and his attitude about weakness, and the next thing I knew I, I jumped on top of him and started wailing on him. Then my friends, they just laughed and cheered me on. And afterwards, when I was sitting in Vernon’s office, all I could think about was Larry’s father and Larry having to go home and explain what happened to him. And the humiliation, the fucking humiliation he must have felt. It must have been unreal. I mean, how do you apologize for something like that? There’s no way. It’s all because of me and my old man. God, I fucking hate him. He’s like, he’s like this mindless machine I can’t even relate to anymore. “Andrew, you’ve got to be number one. I won’t tolerate any losers in this family. Your intensity is for shit.” You sonofabitch. You know, sometimes I wish my knee would give and I wouldn’t be able to wrestle anymore. He could forget all about me.

           into it without disappearing into a

           puddle of tears.

                          (BEAT)

           Like all real love stories - ours

           (beat, composing herself)

           "I can't talk about our love story

           so instead I will talk about math.

           I am not a mathematician, but I

           know this: there are infinite

           numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1

           And .12 And .112 And an infinite

           collection of others. Of course,

           there is a bigger infinite set of

           numbers between 0 and 2, or between

           0 and a million. Some infinities

           are bigger than other infinities. A

           writer we used to like taught us

           that. I want more numbers than I'm

           likely to get, and God, I want more

           numbers for Augustus Waters than he

           got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot

           tell you how thankful I am for our

           little infinity. You gave me a

           forever within the numbered days,

           and for that I am eternally

           grateful. I love you."

Just be calm. You can do this.

Reverse the spell,

don't make me scream and yell.

Try another one. Focus.

Except because they can.

Dope- Male Dramatic

Let me tell you

about two students.

Student "A" is a straight-A student

who lives in the suburbs of Los Angeles.

He plays in a punk band

with his best friends.

He loves to skateboard

and ride on his BMX bike.

His favorite TV show is Game Of Thrones

and his favorite band is The Thermals.

He's a '90s hip-hop geek.

Student "B" goes

to an underfunded school...

where teachers who would

rather not be there...

teach kids

who really don't care.

He lives with a single mother, doesn't

know his father and has sold dope.

Now close your eyes.

Picture each of these kids

and tell me what you see.

Be honest.

No one's going to judge you.

Now open your eyes.

So, am I student "A"

or student "B"?

Am I a geek or a menace?

For most of my life, I've been

caught in between who I really am...

and how I'm perceived,

in between categories

and definition.

I don't fit in.

And I used to think that

that was a curse, but...

now I'm slowly

starting to see...

maybe it's a blessing.

See, when you

don't fit in,

you're forced to see the world from

many different angles and points of view.

You gain knowledge, life lessons

from disparate people and places.

And those lessons, for better

or worse, have shaped me.

So, who am I?

Allow me to reintroduce myself.

My name is Malcolm Adekanbi.

I'm a straight-A student

with nearly perfect SAT scores.

I taught myself how to

play guitar and read music.

I have stellar recommendations and

diverse extracurricular activities.

I am a Google Science Fair

participant,

and in three weeks, I helped make

over $100,000 for an online business.

So, why do I want

to attend Harvard?

If I was white, would you even

have to ask me that question?

It would be way too easy to say Stan preys on the weak because he's simply a jerk. No, Stan's more complex than that. According to leading psychiatrists Stan is a bully for 1 of 2 reasons. 1, under all that male bravado there's an insecure little girl banging on the closet door trying to get out. 2, like a caveman, Stan's brain is underdeveloped. Therefore Stan is unable to use self-control so he acts out aggressively. And the third reason- I'd argue that Stan suffers from all 2.

Fault in Our Stars- Female Dramatic

Hello.

My name is Hazel Grace Lancaster...

and Augustus Waters was the

star-crossed love of my life.

Ours was an epic love story...

and I probably won't be able to

get more than a sentence out...

without disappearing

into a puddle of tears.

Like all real love stories...

ours will die with us.

As it should.

You know, I'd kind of hoped that

he would be the one eulogizing me.

Because there's really

no one else...

(CHUCKLES)

Yeah, no. Um...

I'm not gonna talk about our

love story, because I can't.

So, instead,

I'm gonna talk about math.

I am not a mathematician,

but I do know this.

There are infinite numbers

between zero and one.

There's point-one, point-one-two,

and point-one-one-two, and...

and an infinite

collection of others.

Of course,

there is a bigger infinite

set of numbers

between zero and two...

or between zero and a million.

Some infinities are simply

bigger than other infinities.

A writer that we used

to like taught us that.

You know, I want more numbers...

than I'm likely to get.

And, God...

do I want more days

for Augustus Waters

than what he got.

But, Gus...

my love...

I cannot tell you

how thankful I am...

for our little infinity.

Hold on.

(SNIFFLING)

You gave me a forever...

within the numbered days.

And for that, I am...

I am eternally grateful.

I love you so much.

Princess Diaries- Female

Hello, I'm Mia. It stopped raining. Get your tiara ready. I'm really no good at speech making. Normally, I get so nervous that I faint or run away or, um, sometimes even get sick. [All murmuring] But you really didn't need to know that. I'm not so afraid anymore. My father helped me. Earlier this evening, I had every intention of giving up my claim to the throne. And my mother helped me by telling me it was OK and by supporting me, like she has for my entire life. But then I wondered how I'd feel after abdicating my role as Princess of Genovia. Would I feel relieved, would I feel sad? Then I realized how many stupid times a day I use the word "I." In fact, probably all I ever do is think about myself. How lame is that when there are seven billion other people on the planet. - [Clears throat] - [Stammers] Sorry, I'm going too fast. But then I thought... If I cared about the other seven billion out there, instead of just me, that's probably a much better use of my time. See, if I were Princess of Genovia, then my thoughts and those of people smarter than me would be much better heard and just maybe, those thoughts could be turned into actions. So, this morning when I woke up, I was Mia Thermopolis. But now... ...I choose to be, forevermore... ...Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldi, Princess of Genovia.

 Fresh Prince- Male Dramatic

William 'Will' Smith: [acting like he doesn't care] Y'know, actually, this works out better for me. Y'know, the slimmies of summer come to class wearin' next to nothin', you know what I'm sayin'... Hey, why should I be mad? At least he said "goodbye" this time. I just wish I hadn't wasted my money buying this stupid present.

[pulls a small, African-style statue from his bag and puts it on the table - it's a father sitting with his son in his lap]

You ain't gotta do nothin', Uncle Phil. You know, ain't like I'm still five years old, you know? Ain't like I'm gonna be sitting up every night asking my mom "when's daddy coming home", you know? Who needs him? Hey, he wasn't there to teach me how to shoot my first basket, but I learned it, didn't I? And I got pretty damn good at it, too, didn't I, Uncle Phil? Got through my first date without him, right? I learned how to drive, I learned how to shave, I learned how to fight without him. I had *fourteen* great birthdays without him; he never even sent me a damn card. [turns and shouts toward the door] TO HELL WITH HIM![pause] I didn't need him then, and I don't need him now. William 'Will' Smith: [voice rises to a shout] No, you know what, Uncle Phil? I'm gonna get through college without him, I'm gonna get a great job without him, I'm gonna marry me a beautiful honey, and I'm-a have me a whole bunch of kids. I'll be a better father than he *ever* was. And I sure as hell don't need him for that, 'cause there ain't a *damn* thing he can ever teach me about how to love my kids! [long pause] How come he don't want me, man? [breaks down, starts crying] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxulantPiXI

Mockingjay Katniss Everdeen’s speech after the hospital bombing

“I want to tell the rebels that I’m still alive. That I’m right here in District Eight, where the Capitol has just bombed a hospital full of unarmed men, women, and children. There will be no survivors. I want to tell people that if you think for one second the Capitol will treat us unfairly if there’s a ceasefire, you’re deluding yourself. Because you know who they are and what they do. This is what they do! And we must fight back! President Snow says he’s sending us a message? Well, I have one for him. You can torture us and bomb us and burn our districts to the ground, but do you see that? Fire is catching! And if we burn, you burn with us!”

HEATHERS- MALE J.D.

    I can't believe you did it. I was teasing. I loved you. Sure, I climbed up here to kill you, but first I was going to try and get you back. With amazing petition.

     J.D. throws the gun on the bed and pulls from his coat the

     computer printout sheet petition, then savagely rolls it out

     on the floor. It is filled with signatures of different sizes,

     styles, and colors. J.F.K. blinks.

It's a shame you can't see what our fellow students really signed.

 J.D. flicks open a switchblade. He runs the blade beneath the

     typed paragraph at the top causing it to peel off, reavealing

     another typed paragraph.

Listen. "We students of Westerburg High will die. Today. Our burning bodies will be the ultimate protest to a society that degrades is. Fuck you all." Not that subtle but neither's

blowing up the school. Talk about your suicide pacts. When our school explodes tomorrow, it's going to be the kind of

thing that infects a generation. A Woodstock for the 80's. Damn, we coulda toasted marshmallows together.
