Burt Lancaster

Quotes from the movie Tough Guys
Harry Doyle: And I ain't goin' to your funeral! Archie Long: You ain't invited! [Harry Doyle has been summoned by his parole officer] Richie Evans: I got a call from the rest home today. She said that you were being a disruptive influence during lunch. That you refused to eat your spinach soufflé, and that you caused a riot. And that last night you made love to a woman. Harry Doyle: Do you make love to women, Richie? Richie Evans: Well, yes. Of course I do. Harry Doyle: Then how come when you do it, you're a stud and when I do it I'm a disruptive influence to society. Richie Evans: Because I'm only 28 and you're 72.
Harry Doyle: Well, what do you want to do now, Archie? Rob another empty armored truck? Maybe start a collection? Archie Long: No, we've got to do something big. Something they woun't laugh at. Harry Doyle: Like what? Archie Long: We could take down the flier! Harry Doyle: The Gold Coast Flier? That's the stupidest idea I've ever heard! Archie Long: That's what you said about the armored truck. Harry Doyle: No, I said the armored truck was dumb. This is stupid. Harry Doyle: There's nothing to steal on the Gold Coast Flier. Archie Long: So? We'll steal the whole Goddamn train and ride it to Mexico. Harry Doyle: What for? Archie Long: To prove we can do it! To show everyone that we will not just fade away, but prove that we can still be tough and be respected for that. Harry Doyle: Archie, the Gold Coast Flier is no armored truck. It's a super-fast train going at 100 miles per hour. Archie Long: That didn't stop us the last time. Harry Doyle: The last time we got caught, remember? We were put away for 30 years! Archie Long: Now we're 30 years smarter. We won't make the same mistakes. Harry Doyle: That's right. Because we ain't gonna do it.

Quotes from the movie From Here to Eternity

Karen Holmes: I never knew it could be like this! Nobody ever kissed me the way you do. Sergeant Milton Warden: Nobody? Karen Holmes: No, nobody. Sergeant Milton Warden: Not even one? Out of all the men you've been kissed by? Karen Holmes: [giggling] Now that'd take some figuring. How many men do you think there've been? Sergeant Milton Warden: I wouldn't know.Can't you give me a rough estimate? Karen Holmes: Not without an adding machine. Do you have the adding machine with you? Sergeant Milton Warden: I forgot to bring it.
