Marnie

Alfred Hitchcock = genius. For those of you who do not know, Marnie is a movie he directed in 1964, starring Tippi Hedren and Sean Connery. It came on last night, so the entire family sat down to watch it and have a family movie night. Needless to say, only Kelly and I fully appreciated it. Dad and the boys thought it was pathetic, seeing as it was and "old movie" ("That's not a real background! That's a painting!"), and mom, though she enjoyed it, said it wasn't special enough to watch again. I, politely, disagree.

Mark Rutland: Atlantic City opens for races at the end of the month. We could drive out there next Saturday...
Marnie Edgar: Alright. Are you fond of horses?
Mark Rutland: No, not at all.

Lil Mainwaring: How do you take your tea ...?
Marnie Edgar: Usually with a cup of hot water and a tea bag.

Mark Rutland: Well why didn't you just jump over the side [of the ship]?
Marnie Edgar: The idea was to kill myself - not feed the damn fish.

Marnie Edgar: You don't love me. I'm just something you've caught! You think I'm some sort of animal you've trapped!
Mark Rutland: That's right - you are. And I've caught something really wild this time, haven't I? I've tracked you and caught you and by God I'm going to keep you.
