" Its stupid." "No, no, Im listening." "You know those black shoes?" "What?" "I told you it was stupid." "Let me call you back." "I bought this dress to go with the black shoes I forgot to pack." "I did pack six other pair, none of them black." "And I have two pair of tennis shoes, so if youre up for a little game later..." "You see, women have to pack for every occasion, making it virtually impossible to travel light." "Like tonight, its a formal event, so I brought formalwear." "But..." "God has a sense of humor." "So I..." "I bring backup." "However, Im doubly screwed." "Two dresses, both black, and no black shoes." "I know youre probably thinking," "´wwho the hell cares what color shoes she´ss wearing?"´" "Believe me, Jack, women notice." "So, basically, youre saying you need to go shopping." "For shoes." "Black shoes." "At least I dont have to get up three times a night to go have a pee." "Well, at least I get out of bed to have one." "Checkmate." "See, when you make a move out of frustration or anger, it always ends in catastrophe." "Ah, to beat you just once, Casey." "Id like to die knowing that I´vve beaten you just once." "Its all I pray for, Lord." "Keep praying." "Hey, paul." "Gentlemen." "Would you like to replace an elderly gentleman while he goes off to take his afternoon nap?"

"Well, I suppose I couldve spent more time with my kids." "Ive got three of them and eight grandchildren, and, um..." "I suppose I missed out quite a bit, being here all the time, working here," "I mean." "You know, it has to be said, in those days, your job was your life because your-your life depended on it." "I remember my wife said to me once, she said, ´YYou know, John, I think you-you love that hotel more than you love me. ´" "Perhaps she was right." "And youre still in check." "Forever and ever" "Theres a kind of hush" "Oh, hi." "All over the world" " Tonight" " I think, after five years, the entire staff knows were married, paul." " Of lovers in love" " I guess."

"And probably by someone who sobered up and realized they paid a fortune for a picture of a can of soup." "Youre terrible." "May I ask you a personal question?" "How personal you want to get?" "Im not asking to embarrass you or anything, but how much do you make a week?" "These folks aint interested in eating." "Besides, they gonna throw it away anyway." "Yeah." "Im not proud, Dwayne." "Im just another sister trying to survive in the world." "No, youre much more than that." "This one looks pretty good." "The board behind me shows the story from the California primary tonight." "Theres still just a scattering of votes in, but our vote-profile analysis of, uh, key precincts through the state, representative ´kkey-cincts"´-- precincts- indicate that Senator Kennedy is going to come out with a wide lead," "probably 52 to 38 percent over Senator McCarthy."

"What I think is quite clear is that we can work together, in the last analysis, and that what has been going on within the United States over the period of the last three years- the divisions, the violence, the disenchantment with our society," "the divisions, whether its between blacks and whites, between the poor and the more affluent or between age groups or on the war in Vietnam- that we can start to work together." "We are a great country, and a selfless country, and a compassionate country." "And I intend to make that my basis for running, then, over the period of the next few months."

"I have saved this one opportunity..." "Ive been shot!" "... my only event of today..." "Ive been shot!" "... to speak briefly to you about the mindless menace of violence in America," " which again stains our land" " Can you help me?" "!" " and every one of our lives." " Can you help me?" "Please." "It is not the concern of any one race." " Doctor!" "Anyone!" " The victims of the violence are black and white, rich and poor, young and old, famous and unknown." "They are, most important of all, human beings whom other human beings loved and needed." " What happened, do you know?" " Somebody said hes been shot." "No one, no matter where he lives" " or what he does..." " Get a doctor, please!" "... can be certain who next will suffer from some senseless act of bloodshed." "And yet it goes on and on and on in this country of ours." "SUSAN Its okay." "It´ss okay." "Plea...!" "Why?" " youll be okay." "What has violence ever accomplished?" "What has it ever created?" "Oh!" "Oh." "Oh, my God!" "Dear." "Help!" "Whenever any Americans life is taken by another American unnecessarily..." "William, come on!" "... whether it is done in the name of the law or in defiance of the law, by one man or by a gang, in cold blood or in passion..." "Ive been shot." "... in an attack of violence or in response to violence, whenever we tear at the fabric of our lives which another man has painfully and clumsily woven for himself and his children, whenever we do this, then the whole nation is degraded." "Yet we seemingly tolerate a rising level of violence that ignores our common humanity and our claims to civilization alike." "Hey, Donny, what the hecks going on?" "Senator Kennedys been shot." "Too often, we honor swagger and bluster and the wielders of force." "Too often, we excuse those who are willing to build their own lives on the shattered dreams of other human beings." "But this much is clear:" "Violence breeds violence, repression breeds retaliation, and only a cleansing of our whole society can remove this sickness from our souls." "For when you teach a man to hate and to fear his brother, when you teach that he is a lesser man because of his color or his beliefs or the policies that he pursues...  ... when you teach that those who differ from you" "threaten your freedom or your job or your home or your family, then you also learn to confront others," " All right, Captain..." " not as fellow citizens, but as enemies." "To be met not with cooperation, but with conquest." "To be subjugated and to be mastered." "We learn, at the last, to look at our brothers as aliens." "Alien men with whom we share a city, but not a community." "Men bound to us in common dwelling, but not in a common effort." "...is impossible to believe..." "We learn to share only a common fear, only a common desire to retreat from each other." "Only a common impulse to meet disagreement with force." "JACK Im so sorry." "I´mm so sorry, baby." "Youre gonna be okay." "Do you hear me?" "Youre gonna be okay, sweetie." "Our lives on this planet" " are too short." " Jimmy!" "Look at me." " The work to be done" " Cooper!" "is too great to let this spirit flourish any longer in this land of ours." "Of course, we cannot banish it with a program nor with a resolution...  ... but we can perhaps remember, if only for a time, that those who live with us are our brothers, that they share with us the same short moment of life," "that they seek, as do we, nothing but the chance to live out their lives in purpose and in happiness, winning what satisfaction and fulfillment that they can." "Surely, this bond of common fate, surely, this bond of common goals can begin to teach us something." "Surely, we can learn, at the least, to look around at those of us, of our fellow men, and surely, we can begin to work a little harder to bind up the wounds among us and to become, in our hearts," "brothers and countrymen once again." "My Lord" "I have read this book" "So many times" "But nowhere can" "Can I find" "The page that says" "What I experienced today" "Has any grace" "Now I know that life" "Is meant to be hard" "Thats how I learned" "To appreciate my God" "Though my courage" "May be tried" "I can tell you I wont hide" "Because the footprints show" "You are by my side" "You can lie to a child with a smiling face" "Tell me that color aint about race" "You can cast the first stone" "You can break my bones!"

"My Lord..." "Wont you help them, help them," "Help them to understand" "That when someone takes the life of an innocent man" "Whoo!" "Well, they never really won" "Because all theyve really done" "Is set the soul free where its supposed to be" "You can lie to a child" "With a smiling face" "Tell me that color aint about race" "You can cast the first stone" "You can break my bones, but you never ever" "Never" "Youre never gonna break my faith" "And hope aint yours to give" "No, no, no" "Truth and liberty are mine to live" "steal a crown from a king, break an angels wings" " But youre never ever ever" " You´rre never gonna break" "Youre never gonna break my faith" "For those we lose before their time" "I pray their souls will find the light" "I know that the day will surely come" "Whoa" "Oh, when His will, His will will be done" "Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah" " Oh, yeah" " Yeah, yeah" "Hey, ooh-oh" "Oh, yeah, His will will be..."
