Vengeance Movie Quotes
Sharon Shaw
It's all regrets. You run as fast as you can from the last regret and of course you are just running straight into the next one. That's life. It's all regrets. That's what they should say. No other way to be alive. It's all regrets. Make 'em count.

I'd probably say that nobody writes anything. All we do is translate. So if you ever get stuck and you don't know what to say... just listen. Even to the silences. Listen as hard as you can to the world around you and... repeat back what you hear. That translation, that's your voice.

This is the most, uh, wretched, godforsaken stretch of land on the face of the earth. And I'd never leave.
Ben Manalowitz
Yeah. That's how I feel about Twitter.

Quentin Sellers
You're a playlist guy.
Ben Manalowitz
What does that mean?
Quentin Sellers
When some computer recommends you a bunch of songs based on your favorites and a bunch more--based on your favorites of those. Right. So you're listening to a bunch of music that, I mean, you genuinely like...
Ben Manalowitz
Yeah.
Quentin Sellers
...but you have no idea who sings it. Now, these playlists? It's like the dating app for music. You're not hearing other people's voices. You're just hearing your voice get played back to you. How are you supposed to fall in love? Art used to be in charge of us. You used to buy a whole album not even knowing what songs would be on it. Now we have everything on demand. At your fingertips. In pieces. You think half the people that are posting quotes from Oscar Wilde have ever actually read one of his plays?
Ben Manalowitz
No.
Quentin Sellers
Or posting photos of Audrey Hepburn have actually seen the film it's from?
Ben Manalowitz
No.
Quentin Sellers
Not a chance, right?
Ben Manalowitz
What is that about, huh?
Quentin Sellers
It's the same in culture as it is in archaeology. When a civilization collapses, only the tiniest fragments remain. But we can built it up again.
Ben Manalowitz
How?
Quentin Sellers
Make recordings. Real people. Not what people think they already know and want to hear. Real people. Not some generic stereotype or generic song. Real people.

Your story proves the defining truth of our time.
Ben Manalowitz

Quentin Sellers
Everything means everything, so nothing means anything.
Ben Manalowitz
Some things mean something.

You know, um... There's some things I'm good at. I'm good at asking the right questions. I'm good at getting people to talk. And I'm especially good at drawing thematic connections between seemingly disparate elements and using that to illustrate a larger point or theory. So, whoever or whatever is responsible for what happened to Abilene, I will find this person or this generalized societal force, and I will define it. I'll define it.

What we're recording here isn't your record. It's your sound... on the record that started with the very first moment in time. So when you sing this song, I want you think about what you're making is the record of your time here on this Earth. It's the sound that you scratch with your life... on the record of the universe. Okay?
Teenage Singer
Okay.

You were right, Eloise. I was the story. A self-absorbed know-it-all thinks he's gonna figure out the meaning of America, and all he learns is how empty he is. I was the one living a myth. They say you regret the things you don't do. I didn't love.

Do you ever find wonder, if you did find something deeper with somebody, if that would somehow be more meaningful?
John
I do, sometimes. Like right now, I'm casually dating, like, six or seven different women. But I do wonder, deep down, what it would be like to seriously date two or three.

I don't understand you people.
Paris Shaw
'You people' is a micro-agression.
Ben Manalowitz
My apologies. Y'all.
Paris Shaw
'Y'all' is a cultural appropriation.
Ben Manalowitz
Paris, you accusing someone of cultural appropriation is cultural appropriation.

El Stupido Shaw
I'm scared.
Ben Manalowitz
What are you scared of?
El Stupido Shaw
Ghosts.
Ben Manalowitz
Ghosts aren't real.
El Stupido Shaw
If they're not real, how come everyone knows what they are?
Ben Manalowitz
They're real as an idea, but they're not real, real. That's what's scary about ghosts, that they aren't real. If ghosts were real they wouldn't be scary at all, right? We would just smile and say, "Hi, ghosts!"
El Stupido Shaw
Hi ghosts!
Ben Manalowitz
Hi ghost! Wouldn't that be cool? If when someone wasn't there anymore there was still a little piece of them that could surprise you sometimes?
El Stupido Shaw
Yeah.
Ben Manalowitz
But there's not, there's nothing. And that's what's scary about ghosts. That the little piece of someone that feels like it might still be there isn't there at all. Do you feel better?
El Stupido Shaw
No.
Ben Manalowitz
Me neither.

Asking why you love Whataburger is like asking why you like Christmas, or summer night, or why you love your dog. I mean, you could point to the reasons but the reasons aren't really the point. You just love it, and that's how love works.
