GREAT LAST LINES

Note: The following annotated index, exclusively created by the author, offers some of the great last lines delivered in theatrically-released feature films (chiefly U.S. and British releases, along with notable foreign productions, showing U.S. year of release). All titles shown in boldface represent entries profiled in this work.

Above Suspicion, 1943: Fred MacMurray (after he and wife Joan Crawford escape Nazis in Bavarian Alps and are about to enter Italy): “Well, how about some spaghetti?”

The Adventures of Don Juan, 1948; Errol Flynn: “My dear friend, there’s a little bit of Don Juan in every man, but since I am Don Juan, there must be more of it in me.”

The Adventures of Robin Hood, 1938; Errol Flynn (to Ian Hunter, playing King Richard the Lionheart of England, who has ordered Flynn to marry Maid Marian): “May I obey all your commands with equal pleasure, Sire!”

Alien, 1979; Sigourney Weaver (recording her final report just before getting into a hibernation chamber on a small spacecraft with her cat after battling a deadly alien monster on a distant planet): “Final report of the commercial starship Nostromo. Third officer reporting. The other members of the crew—Kane, Lambert , Parker, Brett, Ash, and Captain Dallas, are dead. Cargo and ship destroyed. I should reach the frontier in about six weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up. This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off. Come on, cat.”

Amelia, 2009; Hilary Swank (as Amelia Earhart; voiceover): “All the things I never said for so very long, look up, they’re in my eyes. Everyone has oceans to fly, as long as you have the heart to do it. Is it reckless? Maybe. But what do dreams know of boundaries? I think about the hands that I have held, the places I’ve seen, the vast lands whose dirt is caked on the bottom of my shoes. The world has changed me.”

Angels with Dirty Faces, 1938; Pat O’Brien (as a priest to street boys who have idolized a gangster just put to death in the electric chair and who was O’Brien’s boyhood friend, and who, in their youth, had been captured by police and set on a path of crime while O’Brien escaped): “Let’s go and say a prayer for a boy who couldn’t run as fast as I could.”

Annie Hall, 1977; Woody Allen: (describing his ended up-and-down relationship with Diane Keaton, the girl of the title name): “But it was great seeing Annie again…and I thought about that old joke, you know…this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says ‘Doc, my brother’s crazy. He thinks he’s a chicken.’ And the doctor says ‘Well, why don’t you turn him in.’ And the guys says ‘I would, but I need the eggs.’ Well, I guess that’s pretty much now how I feel about relationships. You know, they’re totally irrational and crazy and absurd, but I guess we keep going through it…because…most of us need the eggs.”

The Apartment, 1960; Shirley MacLaine (to Jack Lemmon, who had declared his love for her and before they play cards): “Shut up and deal.”

Apollo 13, 1995; Tom Hanks (as Jim Lovell, narrating): “And, as for me, the seven extraordinary days of Apollo 13 were my last in space. I watched other men walk on the moon and return safely, all from the confines of Mission Control, or our house in Houston. I sometimes catch myself looking at the moon, remembering our changes of fortune in our long voyage, thinking of the thousands of people who worked to bring the three of us home. I look up at the moon and wonder: When will we be going back, and who will that be?”

Arsenic and Old Lace, 1944; Garry Owen (frustrated cab driver who has waited hours for a fare outside of a house where darkly comedic murder and mayhem has occurred): “I’m not a cab driver. I’m a coffeepot!”

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, 2007; Narrator: “There would be no eulogies for Bob. No photographs of his body would be sold in sundries stores, no people would crowd the streets in the rain to see his funeral cortege, no biographies would be written about him, no children named after him, no one would ever pay twentyfive cents to stand in the room he grew up in. The shotgun would ignite, Ella Mae would scream, but Robert Ford would only lay on the Floor and look at the ceiling, the light going out of his eyes before he could find the right words.”

The Aviator, 2004; Leonardo DiCaprio (as Howard Hughes): “The way of the future…The Way of the future…The way of the future…”

Bananas, 1971; Howard Cossell (sports commentator describing the bedroom antics of wacky comedian Woody Allen and wife Louise Lasser as if covering an important sports event): “It’s hard to tell what may happen in the future. But they may live happily ever after. Again, they may not. Be assured of this, though. Wherever the action is, we will be there with ABC’s Wild World of Sports to cover it. Now, on behalf of Nancy and Fielding Mellish and all the others who have made this possible, this is Howard Cossell thanking you for joining us and wishing you a most pleasant good night.”

Bataan, 1943; Robert Taylor (the last survivor of small U.S. infantry unit in the Philippines in WWII, who has dug his own grave next to those of his men and is firing at advancing Japanese troops with a machine gun): “Come and get it!...We’re still here!...We’ll always be here!...”

Bell, Book and Candle, 1958; Kim Novak (having lost her powers as a witch by falling in love with James Stewart, who asks her to stop crying): “I don’t think I can. I am only human.”

The Big Sleep, 1946; Humphrey Bogart: “What’s wrong with you?”; Lauren Bacall: “Nothing you can’t fix.”

The Birth of a Nation, 1915; title card written by director D.W. Griffith: “Liberty and Union, one and inseparable, now and forever!”

Blade Runner, 1982; Harrison Ford (a futuristic police detective talking about the android woman he loves): “Tyrell had told me that Rachel was special: no termination date. I didn’t know how long we had together. Who does?”

Blood on the Sun, 1945; James Cagney (as a U.S. journalist in preWWII Tokyo, who has discovered the Tanaka Plan that reveals Japan’s secret schedule for world domination): “Sure, forgive your enemies. But first, get even.”

Bolero, 1934; William Frawley (holding George Raft, who has just died of a heart attack in a nightclub after dancing a frantic Bolero): “He was too good for this joint!”

Boys Town, 1938; Spencer Tracy (as Father Edward Joseph Flanagan, founder of the orphanage called Boys Town in Douglas County, Nebraska): “This is no bad boy.”

Braveheart, 1995; Narrator: “In the year of our Lord 1314, patriots of Scotland, starving and outnumbered, charged the fields of Bannockburn. They fought like warrior poets. They fought like Scotsmen and won their freedom.”

The Bridges at Toko-Ri, 1954; Fredric March (as an admiral on board an aircraft carrier during the Korean War): “Where do we get such men? They leave this ship and they do their job. Then they must find this speck somewhere lost on the sea. When they find it, they have to land on its pitching deck. Where do we get such men?” Voice on loudspeaker: “Launch jets!”

Brother Orchid, 1940; Edward G. Robinson (a former gangster who has become a monk in monastery): “This…this is the real class!”

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, 1969; Paul Newman (as Cassidy, to Robert Redford as Sundance when they are pinned down by hundreds of police and troops in a Bolivian village and are about to be killed but where Redford has told Newman that famed U.S. lawman Joe Lefors is not present among their attackers): “Oh, good. For a moment there, I thought we were in trouble.”

Cabaret, 1972; Joel Grey (master of ceremonies at the Kit-Kat Club in Berlin, which is now controlled by Nazi storm troopers): “Ladies and gentlemen, where are your troubles now? Forgotten?
