Vergessen: Opening von Annie Hall
„There’s an old joke. Uhm, two elderly women are at a Catskill Mountain resort. And one of ‚em says: ‚Boy, the food in this place is really terrible.‘ The other one says: ‚Yeah, I know. And such small portions.‘ Well, that’s essentially how I feel about life. Full of loneliness and misery and suffering and unhappiness, and it’s all over much too quickly…“
Und wunderschön:
„I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain. Time to die“
Und eigentlich kein Monlog, gehört aber zum Film: Springsteens Text am Schluß von Dead Man Walking:
„There’s a pale horse coming
And I’m going to ride it
I’ll rise in the morning
My fate decided
I’m a dead man walking
I’m a dead man walking
In St James‘ Parish I was born and christened
I’ve got my story Mister
Ain’t no need for you to listen
It’s just a dead man talking
Once I had a job I had a a girl
Between our dreams and actions lies this world
In the deep forest their blood and tears rushed over me
All I could feel was the drugs and the shotgun
And my fear up inside of me
Like a dead man talkin‘
‚Neath the summer sky my eyes went black
Sister I won’t ask for forgiveness
My sins are all I have
Now the clouds above my prisonMove slowly across the sky
There’s a new day
coming and my dreams are full to-night“

If you talk bad about country music, it's like saying bad things about my momma. Them's fightin' words.
