Thirteen of my favourite John Cusack Movie quotes (in no real particular order)

(bonus – name the movies that these quotes came from!)

1. Though no words were spoken, the scene where he holds up the boombox. Priceless.

2. “Two dollars!”

3. “When the moon is in the seventh house… and Jupiter lines with mars…”

4. “Two brothers… One speaks no English, the other learned English from watch “The Wide World of Sports.” So you tell me… Which is better, speaking no English at all, or speaking Howard Cosell?”

5. “I gave her my heart, she gave me a pen.”

6. “Elliot? You’re gonna name the kid Elliot? No, you can’t name the kid Elliot. Elliot is a fat kid with glasses who eats paste. You’re not gonna name the kid Elliot. You gotta give him a real name. Give him a name. Like Nick.”

7. “Gee, I’m real sorry your mom blew up, Ricky.”

8. “The best place to meet a guy is at the supermarket. You don’t need to waste a lot of time there, either. You see a guy holding a list, you know he’s married. He’s in the frozen food section carrying a small basket, he’s single. I like to hang out by fruits and vegetables, there’s a better chance of getting a guy who’s healthy.”

9. “No. The world is full of guys. Be a man. Don’t be a guy.”

10. Monique: He keeps putting his testicles all over me.

Lane: Excuse me?

Moniquet: You know, like octopus? Testicles?

Lane: Ohhhh. Tentacles. N-T.

11. “I Really want to play a character like a The Terminator. You know because the Hispanic people are crying out to see a deadly, destructive, killing machine that they can embrace as their own. You know, that they can relate to…”

12. “Hey, Hoops, you ever notice how people die in alphabetical order?”

13. “What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?”
