■ Never Let Me Go

What made the tape so special for me was this one particular song: track number three,

"Never Let Me Go".

...... I really appreciated having the tape - and that song - back again.

Even then, it was mainly a nostalgia thing, and today,

if I happen to get the tape out and look at it,

it brings back memories of that afternoon in Norfolk every bit

as much as it does our Hailsham days.

■ Finding Forrester (Favorite Quote)

William: You better stir that soup.

Jamal: What?

William: Stir the soup before it firms up.

Jamal: How come ours get anything on it?

William: Come on. Closer. What I have is an adult male. Quite pretty.

Probably strayed from the park. A Connecticut warbler.

Jamal: You ever go outside to do any of this?

William: You should have stayed with the soup question.

The object of a question is to obtain information that matters only

to us.

You were wondering why your soup doesn't firm up?

Probably because your mother was brought up in a house

...that never wasted milk in soup.

That question was a good one,

in contrast to, "Do I ever go outside?"

which fails to meet the criteria of obtaining

information that matters to you.

Jamal: All right. I guess I don't have any more soup questions.

Goodbye Ruby Tuesday, who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you

(Ruby Tuesday / The Rolling Stones)

■ The Royal Tenenbaums

I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking these days
These days
These days I seem to think a lot about the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to

(These days / Nico)

"Existence.

 Well, what does it matter.

 I exist on the best terms I can.

 The past is now part of my future.

 The present is well out of hand...."

Guy: You should have ask me about that. I'm a professional. She has a really good ass.
Stephane: Shut up, Guy! I thought she was lonely and, and somehow I could help her but... She doesn't need me at all.
