Screenplays | Excuse me, excuse me. I don't mean to harass you, but I was very impressed with the capable and stylish manner in which you dealt with that situation. (Trainspotting; writing credit: Irvine Welsh; John Hodge) I have more responsibility here than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. I know deep down in places you dont talk about at parties, you don't want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. (A Few Good Men; writing credit: Aaron Sorkin) I've been living in an abominable manner all my life. (The Bullwinkle Show; writing credit: Allan Burns; Chris Hayward) So always comport yourself in a manner befitting - quick! (The Simpsons; writing credit: Artur Brauner; Paul Hengge) No, it is not your aspect, but your manner that betrays you. Do you not ride the ship of time? (Doctor Who; writing credit: Basil Caplan; Martin Defalco) | |

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | HYPOCRITE, n. One who, profession virtues that he does not respect secures the advantage of seeming to be what he depises. I I is the first letter of the alphabet, the first word of the language, the first thought of the mind, the first object of affection. In grammar it is a pronoun of the first person and singular number. Its plural is said to be We, but how there can be more than one myself is doubtless clearer the grammarians than it is to the author of this incomparable dictionary. Conception of two myselfs is difficult, but fine. The frank yet graceful use of "I" distinguishes a good writer from a bad; the latter carries it with the manner of a thief trying to cloak his loot. |
