Sweet Liberty Movie Quotes

Bo Hodges You realize who goes to see movies. Eighty percent of them are between the ages of 12 and 22. And you know what the kids like?
Bo Hodges Well, this may sound silly to you, but kids go completely ape if you do three things in a picture: defy authority, destroy property, and take people's clothes off.
Michael Burgess [bollixed] What does that have to do with American history?
Bo Hodges Oh, come on, Michael, think about it for a second. Why do kids defy authority? Because they're in rebellion. The American revolution, Michael, was the ultimate rebellion. *And* they destroyed property! So all we had to do with these lunatics' help was to get their clothes off.

Michael Burgess Hi Mom. I brought you your groceries

Cecelia Burgess Because "he's" in there.
