The monkey house and the aviary gets all the happy customers. But he's beautiful. No, he ain't beautiful. he's an evil critter, ma'am. You read your Bible. Revelation. Where the book's talking about the worst Beast of 'em all. It says, "And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard." Like unto a leopard. Yes ma'am. Like a leopard. But not a leopard.

Plankton Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I don't think anyone's mentioned Nightcrawler quoting the Lord's Prayer and Psalm 23 in X2. And there was a film released in Sweden some years back called Through a Glass Darkly. There are tonnes of 'em in Fiddler on the Roof too: Tevye: As the Good Book says, "Heal us, O LORD, and we shall be healed." In other words, send us the cure; we've got the sickness already. And again: Tevye: As Abraham said, "I am a stranger in a strange land." Mendel: Moses said that. Tevye: Forgive me. As King David put it, "I am slow of speech and slow of tongue." Mendel: That was also Moses. Tevye: For a man with a slow tongue, he talked a lot. Quote My name is Darth Vader. I come from the planet Vulcan. - Back to the FutureTo me, truth is not some vague, foggy notion. Truth is real. And at the same time, unreal. Fiction and fact and everything in between, plus some other things I can't remember; all rolled into one big "thing."

Waitress: Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning that they may follow strong drink. Drunk: Isaiah, chapter five. It's the end of the world.

Ron Reed Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 BARCELONA (19:05) Voice Over: I don't know whether I had found God since coming to Barcelona or was just going through a religious phase. It had all begun after the sad and guilt-ridden break up with Betty with whom I'd gotten deeply involved, including carnally despite never having really loved her. The almost irresistable attraction of physical beauty had transformed a good friendship into another horrible pre-marital situation. All this had led pretty directly to the Old Testament. (Jazz trumpet plays. Ted opens the cover of The Economist to reveal HOLY BIBLE inside) Two Old Testament books in particular (opens to THE PROVERBS, then ECCLESIASTES) included advice on romantic matters, some of it, very tough. (Quick succession of Biblical passages shown onscreen: 3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an huneycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: 4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged swrod. 5 Her feet go dowin to death; her steps take hold on hell. CUT TO 7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and departn not from the words of my mouth. 8. Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: 9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: 10 Lest strangers e filled with they wealth and thy labours be in the house of a stanger; 11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, CUT TO and rejoice with the wife of they youth. 19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love. 20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a stragne woman and embrace the bosom of CUT TO before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings. 22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins. 23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.)

For you do not know when I will come, at evening, at midnight, early dawn or late daybreak. Don't let me find you sleeping!" Jesus Christ onscreen (0:00:12) The events spoken of in the Hebrew Christian scripture is described somewhat in the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 24, verses 36 and on. And Jesus Christ is reported to be the speaker. And he says, and I quote, "Butof that day and hour knoweth no man, not the angels in heaven, but my father only. The world will be at ease, at banquets and parties and weddings, just as it was in Noah's time before the sudden coming of the flood. People wouldn't believe what was going to happen until the flood actually arrived and took them all away. So shall my coming be. Two men will be working together in the fields: one will be taken, the other left. Two women will be going about their household tasks: one will be taken, and the other left.
