"LET BYGONES BE BYGONES" or 'AGUA PASADA NO MUEVE MOLINO'

One of the jolly good things about life is that, in most occassions, one can re-start anew. How lucky of us!! WELCOME THE NEW ONES AND 'RE-WELCOME' THE OLD LADS AND LADIES

IN THIS NEW RE-START WE WILL BEGIN WITH THOSE CONSIDERED THE BEST FILM SPEECHES AND MONOLOGUES WELL-KNOWN WORLD WIDE. ENJOY!!!

1.- (My favourite)
"GONE WITH THE WIND" 'LO QUE EL VIENTO SE LLEVÓ'
(Victor Fleming, 1939)


Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'hara
"As God is my witness, as God is my witness, they're not going to lick me! I'm going to live through this, and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again - no, nor any of my folks! If I have to lie, steal, cheat, or kill, as God is my witness,
I'll never be hungry again."


'A Dios pongo por testigo que no podrán derribarme. Sobreviviré, y cuando todo haya pasado, nunca volveré a pasar hambre, ni yo ni ninguno de los míos. Aunque tenga que mentir, robar, mendigar o matar ¡a Dios pongo por testigo que jamás volveré a pasar hambre!
-->

"Casablanca", (Casablanca, 1942), Michael Curtiz;

'Tócala una vez Sam', 'Louie, creo que éste es el principio de una gran amistad', 'De todos los cafés del mundo, tuvo que elgir el mío' y 'Después de todo, siempre nos quedará París'
"Play it again Sam",  (Play it Once..., play it, Sam)

Ilsa: Play it once, Sam. For old times' sake.
Sam: I don't know what you mean, Miss Ilsa.
Ilsa: Play it, Sam. Play "As Time Goes By."
Sam: Oh, I can't remember it, Miss Ilsa. I'm a little rusty on it.
Ilsa: I'll hum it for you.
Da-dy-da-dy-da-dum, da-dy-da-dee-da-dum...
Ilsa: Sing it, Sam.
Sam: You must remember this A kiss is still a kiss. A sigh is just a sigh. The fundamental things apply As time goes by. And when two lovers woo, they still say, "I love you" On that you can rely No matter what the future brings. As time goes by...
Rick: Sam, I thought I told you never to play...


"Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks in to mine" Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart)  and "We'll always have Paris", "Here´s looking at you kid"
"Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship" (Casablanca ending),


AS TIME GOES BY
(Louis Armstrong)
You must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his maid
That no one can deny
it's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by...



"NOBODY'S PERFECT" - 'NADIE ES PERFECTO' Some like it hot' o 'Con faldas y a lo loco (1959. Billy Wilder)




FINAL SCENE 


Osgood: I called Mama. She was so happy she cried! She wants you to have her wedding gown. It's white lace.
Daphne: Yeah, Osgood. I can't get married in your mother's dress. Ha ha. That-she and I, we are not built the same way.
Osgood: We can have it altered.
Daphne: Oh no you don't! Osgood, I'm gonna level with you. We can't get married at all.
Osgood: Why not?
Daphne: Well, in the first place, I'm not a natural blonde.
Osgood: Doesn't matter.
Daphne: I smoke! I smoke all the time!
Osgood: I don't care.
Daphne: Well, I have a terrible past. For three years now, I've been living with a saxophone player.
Osgood: I forgive you.
Daphne: [Tragically] I can never have children!
Osgood: We can adopt some.
Daphne/Jerry: But you don't understand, Osgood! [Whips off his wig, exasperated, and changes to a manly voice.] Uhhh, I'm a man!
Osgood: [Looks at him then turns back, unperturbed]: Well, nobody's perfect!!!
