Quotes from Little Miss Sunshine


Richard:There are two kinds of people in this world, winners and losers.Inside each and everyone of you.,at the very core of your being...is a winner waiting to be awakened and unleash upon the world.With my nine-step "refuse to lose" program...you now have the necessary tools and the insights...and the know-how to put your losing habits behind you...and to go out and make your dreams come true.(sighs)No hesitating.(chuckles)No complaining.And no excuses.I want you to go out in the world...and I want you to be winners!Thank you.Thank you.
(一开始看到Richard这样志得意满的演讲,错以为这是一部励志片。)

Dwayne
: I wish I could just sleep until I was eighteen and skip all this crap-high school and everything-just skip it.
Frank: You know Marcel Proust?
Dwayne: He's the guy you teach.
Frank: Yeah. French writer. Total loser. Never had a real job. Unrequited love affairs. Gay. Spent 20 years writing a book almost no one reads. But he's also probably the greatest writer since Shakespeare. Anyway, he uh... he gets down to the end of his life, and he looks back and decides that all those years he suffered, Those were the best years of his life, 'cause they made him who he was. All those years he was happy? You know, total waste. Didn't learn a thing. So, if you sleep until you're 18... Ah, think of the suffering you're gonna miss. I mean high school? High school-those are your prime suffering years. You don't get better suffering than that.
Dwayne: You know what? Fuck beauty contests. Life is one fucking beauty contest after another. School, then college, then work... Fuck that. And fuck the Air Force Academy. If I want to fly, I'll find a way to fly. You do what you love, and fuck the rest.
(看到后来,才发现一点也不sunshine,倒是充满了悲剧主义的味道。尤其爱这一段的台词,底层的愤怒与不甘。)

Dwayne:Mum,I don't want Olive doing this.
Sheryl:Oh my God!
Dwayne:Look around.This place is fucked.
Look.I don't want these people judging Olive.Fuck them!
Sheryl:Listen,it is too late.
Dwayne:No,it's not too late.You're the Mom...and you're supposed to protect her.Everyone is goona laugh at her,Mum.Please don't let her do this.Look,she's not a beauty queen.She'sjust not.I'm gonna tell her.
Sheryl:No,Dwayne.You listen to me.Olive is who she is. She has worked so hard.She'spoured everything into this.We can't just take it away from her.We can't.I know you wanna protect her.I know,honey,but...we gotta let Olive be Olive.
(有的电影可以让你想要痛快地大叫。当一家人在台上共舞,无视周围人异样的目光时,血脉贲张,想大叫。看到Richard在看其他小演员表演时那种瞠目结舌又惶恐不安状,不知是不是意识到了不是所有的“永不放弃”都会有结果?Fuck nine-step "refuse to lose" program!)
