Suggested by Shaker Yankee Transferred: "What's a weird sentence that you remember (from your life, or a movie, or a book) for no apparent reason? Who spoke it?"
Sailor Ripley (Nicolas Cage) in Wild at Heart, who wears a beloved snakeskin jacket: "Did I ever tell ya that this here jacket represents a symbol of my individuality and my belief in personal freedom?"
I don't know why it's stuck so hard in my head, nor why I feel obliged to say it probably at least one out of every five times I'm putting on a jacket, which prompts Iain to roll his eyes elaborately and longsufferingly, lol.
In the film, Lula Fortune (Laura Dern) replies, "About fifty thousand times," and I strongly feel that if Iain just embraced it and used her response, he'd feel better about the whole thing, but he doesn't appear to agree. He's sticking with the eyeroll. Hahaha! Fair.
