The Days of Wine and Roses



They are not long, the weeping and the laughter,
Love and desire and hate;
I think they have no portion in us after
We pass the gate.

They are not long, the days of wine and roses:
Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for a while, then closes
Within a dream.


Bill Withers was inspired to write Ain't No Sunshine after watching The Days of Wine and Roses

How The West Was Won

 
You know what the trouble is Brucey?
We used to make shit in this country, build shit.
Now we just put our hands in the next guy's pocket.

Double Indemnity



 
There it is, Walter. It's beginning to come apart at the seams already.
Murder's never perfect.
Always comes apart sooner or later, and when two people are involved it's usually sooner.
Now we know the Dietrichson dame is in it *and* a somebody else.
Pretty soon, we'll know who that somebody else is. He'll show. He's got to show.

Sometime, somewhere, they've got to meet. Their emotions are all kicked up.
Whether it's love or hate doesn't matter; they can't keep away from each other.
They may think it's twice as safe because there's two of them, but it isn't twice as safe.
It's ten times twice as dangerous. They've committed a *murder*!

And it's not like taking a trolley ride together where they can get off at different stops.
They're stuck with each other and they got to ride all the way to the end of the line
and it's a one-way trip and the last stop is the cemetery.
