You can have any part you want, so long as you don't interfere...I have never cut you out of anything yet.

I never knew ye olde ILX before the war, with its sinister music, its 12ft lizards and poxy fules.

Harry, delete ILX plz

I like a good Western. That’s what I like about them, sir. You can pick them up and put them down anytime.

Vienna doesn't really look any worse than a lot of other European cities. Bombed about a bit.

all's well that ends well! ladies and gentlemen, i have much pleasure in introducing mr. holly martins, from the other side.
― difficult listening hour, Tuesday, 24 January 2023 03:13 (three years ago)
He's only a scribbler with too much drink in him. Take Mr. Holly home.
― Malevolent Arugula (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 24 January 2023 03:21 (three years ago)
That's Mr Martins' little joke, of course. We all know perfectly well Zane Grey wrote what we call "westerns."

It wasn't for German gin.

We just watched an episode of Richard Ayoade's Travel Man where they do The Third Man tour and are underwhelmed. Hats off to whoever had the idea to turn the actual sewer system into a tourist trap.

I am annoyed that's not an actual quote from the film.

iirc there is a cut and change of location between the two halves of this line, implying payne has been enthusing cheerfully about westerns for an entire jeep ride

Have you, Sergeant? Author? Martins? Thank you, Sergeant. ☝🏻😗

i can't very well introduce you to everybody.
Truly delightful character, responsible for one of the most clever tricks in cinema.

Am I wrong in thinking that for some movies, excessive quoting drains the life from them, but not this one?
― And Your Borad Can Zing (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 6 February 2023 00:47 (three years ago)
By some I mean most.

I watched this with my 12 yo and we got to the last scene where the leaves are falling and Anna walks by Holly without acknowledging him and I started laughing…my kid looked at me strangely and I told him he’d understand when he’s older

Great write up above Alfred.
Long goodbye really ripped this off didn't it? Uber-righteous friend tries to help out pal who ends up just wanting to screw him over; complicated love-interest involved
― H.P, Friday, 7 June 2024 13:30 (two years ago)
Thank you!
No need to worry about spoilers for a movie more than 20 years old; that's my rule in class at any rate.
― the talented mr pimply (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 7 June 2024 13:32 (two years ago)
Ah but there's still bums like me around who benefit from them, not that I hold it against anyone with a differing philosophy
― H.P, Friday, 7 June 2024 13:51 (two years ago)
H.P., that's interesting! The final shot of Long Goodbye is very similar as well, to the point where it seems like it has to be an intentional homage or at least a wink for those in the know.
