The Lightness of Anderson

Here are just a few of the key ingredients: dynamite, pole vaulting, laughing gas, choppers - can you see how incredible this is going to be? - hang gliding, come on!
-Bottle Rocket

What a lemon! One minute it's running like a top, and the next it's broken down on the side of the road. And I can't fix a car like this, because I don't have the tools! And even if I did have the tools I don't know if I could fix a car like this!

I don't think your happiness is quite appropriate.

Maybe I'm spending too much of my time starting up clubs and putting on plays. I should probably be trying harder to score chicks.
-Rushmore

You guys have it real easy. I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and your going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you
-Rushmore

Well, everyone knows Custer died at Little Bighorn. What this book presupposes is... maybe he didn't.
-The Royal Tenenbaums

I'm very sorry for your loss. Your mother was a terribly attractive woman.

hmmmm. maybe all three of those will go on my list, since I have seen two of them, but don't seem to recall much that went on in either of them.
