Donnie Darko


"I know - I'm not the - best communicator, but... whatever happens to you, be honest, tell the truth, even if they do look at you funny. They will. But what you gotta understand, son, is that almost all of those people are full of shit. They're all part of this great big conspiracy: bullshit. And they're scared of people like you, because those bullshitters know that you're smarter than all of them. You know what you say to people like that? Hmm? "Fuck you.""

End of the film:

"What if you could go back in time, and take all those hours of pain and darkness and replace them with something better?" / "Dear Roberta Sparrow, I have reached the end of your book and... there are so many things that I need to ask you. Sometimes I'm afraid of what you might tell me. Sometimes I'm afraid that you'll tell me that this is not a work of fiction. I can only hope that the answers will come to me in my sleep. I hope that when the world comes to an end, I can breathe a sigh of relief, because there will be so much to look forward to."

*** Mad World [Soundtrack]

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

+++ Weird Compliment

"- My mom had to get a restraining order against my stepdad. He has emotional problems.
* Oh, I have those too! What kind of emotional problems does your dad have?
- He stabbed my mom four times in the chest.
* Oh.
- You're weird.
* Sorry.
- No, that was a compliment."


+++ Smurfs

"- Smurfette doesn't fuck.
* That's bullshit. Smurfette fucks all the other Smurfs. Why do you think Papa Smurf made her? Because all the other Smurfs were getting too horny.
- No, no, no, not Vanity. I heard he was a homosexual.
* Okay, then, you know what? She fucks them and Vanity watches. Okay?
- What about Papa Smurf? I mean, he must get in on all the action.
* Yeah, what he does, he films the gang-bang, and he beats off to the tape.
- First of all, Papa Smurf didn't create Smurfette. Gargamel did. She was sent in as Gargamel's evil spy with the intention of destroying the Smurf village. But the overwhelming goodness of the Smurf way of life transformed her. And as for the whole gang-bang scenario, it just couldn't happen. Smurfs are asexual. They don't even have... reproductive organs under those little, white pants. It's just so illogical, you know, about being a Smurf. You know, what's the point of living... if you don't have a dick?"


+++ Life Line

"- Life isn't that simple. I mean who cares if Ling Ling returns the wallet and keeps the money? It has nothing to do with either fear or love.
* Fear and love are the deepest of human emotions.
- Okay. But you're not listening to me. There are other things that need to be taken into account here. Like the whole spectrum of human emotion. You can't just lump everything into these two categories and then just deny everything else!
* If you don't complete the assignment, you'll get a zero for the day.
(...)
- So... Let's go over this again. What exactly did you say to Ms Farmer?
* I'll tell you what he said! He asked me to forcibly insert the lifeline exercise card into my anus!"


+++ AntiChrist

"- Do you want your sister to lose weight? Tell her to get off the couch, stop eating twinkies and maybe go out for field hockey. You know what? No one ever knows what they want to be when they grow up. You know it takes a little, little while to find that out, right, Jim? And you... yeah, you. Sick of some jerk shoving your head down the toilet? Well, you know what? Maybe... you should lift some weights, or uh, take a karate lesson and the next time he's tries to do it, you kick him in the balls.
* Son... Do you see this? This is an Anger Prisoner. A textbook example. Do you see the fear, people? This boy is scared to death of the truth. Son, it breaks my heart to say this, but I believe you are a very troubled and confused young man. I believe you are searching for the answers in all the wrong places...
- You're right, actually. I am pretty- I'm, I'm pretty troubled and I'm, I'm pretty confused. But I... and I'm afraid. Really, really afraid. Really afraid. But I... I... I think you're the fucking Antichrist."


+++ Bunnies

"- This could be the death of an entire way of life, the end of an era...
* Why should we care?
- Because the rabbits are us, Donnie.
* Why should I mourn for a rabbit like he was human?
- Are you saying that the death of one species is less tragic than another?
* Of course. The rabbit's not like us. It has no... keen look at something in the mirror, it has no history books, no photographs, no knowledge of sorrow or regret... I mean, I'm sorry, Miss Pommeroy, don't get me wrong; y'know, I like rabbits and all. They're cute and they're horny. And if you're cute and you're horny, then you're probably happy, in that you don't know who you are and why you're even alive. And you just wanna' have sex, as many times as possible, before you die... I mean, I just don't see the point in crying over a dead rabbit! Y'know, who... who never even feared death to begin with."


+++ Stupid Suits

"- Why do you wear that stupid bunny suit?
* Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?"
- What happened to your eye?
* I'm so sorry.


+++ Die Alone

"- What did Roberta Sparrow say to you?
* She said, "Every living creature on earth dies alone.
[...]
- Do you feel alone right now?
* Oh... I mean I'd like to believe I'm not but I just... I've just never seen any proof so I... I just don't debate it anymore, you know? It's like I could spend my whole life debating it over and over again, weighing the pros and cons and in the end I still wouldn't have any proof so I just... I just don't debate it anymore. It's absurd.
- The search for God is absurd?
* It is if everyone dies alone.
[...]
-If the sky were to suddenly open up, there would be no law, there would be no rule. There would only be you and your memories. If this world were to end, there would only be you... and him... and no one else."
