Things People Do When They’re Not in School: Part 6 – Have a Quentin Tarantino Marathon0
Santa brought Kyle Inglourious Basterds, Reservoir Dogs, and Pulp Fiction for Christmas. We just watched Inglourious Basterds, which was just as good as I remembered.
Top 5 Lines by Aldo:
1.) “And once we’re in enemy territory, as a bushwackin’, guerrilla army, we’re gonna be doin’ one thing, and one thing only—Killin’ Nazis… But I sure as hell didn’t come down from the goddamn Smoky Mountains, cross five thousand miles of water, fight my way through half Sicily, and then jump out of a fuckin’ air-o-plane to teach the Nazis lessons in humanity. Nazi ain’t got no humanity. They’re the foot soldiers of a Jew-hatin’, mass-murderin’ maniac, and they need to be destroyed. That’s why any and every son-of-a-bitch we find wearin’ a Nazi uniform, they’re gonna die.”
2.) “Wicki there, an Austrian Jew, got the fuck outta Salzberg while the gettin’ was good. Became American, got drafted, and came back to give y’all what for.”
3.) “We just wanna say, we’re a big fan of your work. When it comes to killin’ Nazis, I think you show great talent, and I pride myself on havin’ an eye for that kind of talent. But your status as a Nazi killer is still amateur. We all came here to see if you wanna go pro?”
4.) LT. ALDO: “Well, I speak the most Italian, so I’ll be your escort. Donowitz speaks the second most, so he’ll be your Italian cameraman. And Hirschberg third most, so he’ll be Donny’s assistant.”
HIRSCHBERG: “I don’t speak Italian.”
LT. ALDO: “Like I said, third best. Just keep your fuckin’ mouth shut. In fact, why don’t you start practicing right now.”
5.) “Buongiorno.”
Honorable Mentions:
- “Naw, I don’t think so, more like I’ll be chewed out. I’ve been chewed out before.”
- COL. LANDA: “Oooh, that’s a bingo. Is that the way you say it, that’s a bingo?” LT. ALDO: “You just say, bingo.”
- “You know somethin’, Utivich? I think this just might be my masterpiece.”
We still have Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction to watch. I’d better get busy!
It’s a Tarantino Christmas!
