"As long as we believe To Leonardo....from Sukie.....
Nothing can come between
The dreamer and his dream..."
A sickness sometimes comes on...
I see it's face when black fights its way
through closed tight curtains....
every bite taken turns up clammy & grey....
and the air is chilled
with the whispers of solitary travellers....
With shaking hands and blurry eyes,
I begin a search for a different face,
eyes that somehow
promise....bright, bright, freedom...
One look and a jolt of warm light is mine.
And surprisingly,
the light tastes like chicken & dumplings.
The following is a list of the many awards and accolades that this young 23 year old has accumulated for his 'gift' ....and here's hoping he will continue to share his gift with us for many years to come!

From This Boy's Life.....
"Dry-gulched ya....whew....."
"What a stupid name....Dwight....DahWIGHT.....DAHwight...!"
From the Basketball Diaries..
"Ya, Mom.....the looney alarm went off.....hey lady....SHUT UP!!"
"Me...I play like a cheetah!"
"Finding money in New York is like getting laid a the prom.....easy!"
"I knew that somewhere out there...there was love for me.."
"Come ON Reggie.....GIVE it to me..!"
"Come on Mom...I'll be a good boy, Mom...please....PLEASE,Mom!!"
From Total Eclipse...
"How did you get here, Monsieur Rimbaud?"....Rimbaud.."Walked..."
"I need to have a piss..."
"Love, no such thing. Whatever it is that binds families and married
couples together, that is not love.
It's stupidity, selfishness or fear. Love doesn't
exist. Self-interest exists. Attachment based on personal gain exists.
Complacency exists, but not love. Love has to be re-invented".
Verlaine: "I don't like hurting people."
Rimbaud: "Then don't, but if you do, do it coolly. Don't insult your
victims by feeling sorry afterwards....."
"Do you love me....put your hands on the table....palm upwards...."
"It means exactly what is says, word for word, no more, no
less!"
Verlaine.."How can you be so callous?"
Rimbaud: "Callous? You abandon me in London, than you summon me to
Brussels and expect me to hang around, while you decide whether or not
you are going to leave your wife, join the army or shoot yourself?
And when you fail to achieve any of these aims, as you undoubtedly will,
you want me to go back to London with you; well it is not going to
happen, I'm leaving you!"
"How can I you stupid fuck.....you just shot a hole through my hand...."
"I offer you an archetypical choice...my body or my soul...choose....CHOOSE!
"It has been found again."
"What?" - "Eternity
It is the sea fled away
with the sun....."
From Romeo and Juliet...
Benvolio: "Goodmorrow cousin!"
Romeo: "Is the day so young?" (that face, cigarette at hand..)
B. "But new struck nine!"
R. "Ah me, sad hours seem long.
Was that my father that went hence so fast?" (that look over his
shoulder)
B. "It was, what sadness lengthens Romeo's hours?"
R. "Not having that, which having makes them short!"
B. "In love."
R. "out.."
B. "of love?"
R. "Out of her favour where I am in love."
B. "That love, so gentle in his view, should be so tyrannous and rough
in proof?"
R. "That love, whose view is muffled still, should
without eyes (fingers pointing at B) see pathways to his will."
"Is love a tender thing.....tis too rough... too rude... too boisterous, and it pricks like thorn!"
"Did my heart love till now...forswear it's sight...for I never saw a true beauty till this night!"
Juliet: "Saints do not move, though grant for prayer's sake."
R. "Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take. Thus from my lips
by thine, my sin is purged!"
J. "Then have my lips the sin that they have took."
R. "Sin from my lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me
my sin again!"
J. "You kiss by the book!"
Juliet to nurse: "Go, ask his name - if he be married, my grave is like
to be my weddingbed...."
"'If I profane with my unworthiest hand,
this holy shrine, the gentle sin is this;
my lips (!) two blushing pilgrims ready stand
to smooth that rough touch
with a tender kiss......."
"What light through yonder window breaks...tis the East...and Juliet is the sun. Rise fair sun, and kill the envious moon!"
"I have night's cloak to hide me from their eyes..but if thou love me...let them find me here...."
"Thy kinsmen are no match for me..."
Juliet: "Swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon, that monthly
changes in her circled orb, lest that thy love prove likewise variable."
Romeo: "What shall I swear by?"
J. "Do not swear at all or if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self
which is the God of my idolatry. And I'll believe thee......"
Romeo: "He jests at scars that never felt a wound!"
Juliet: "A thousand times good night..."
Romeo: "A thousand times the worse, to want thy light!"
"Love goes toward love, as schoolboys from their books.
But love from love, toward school with heavy looks....."
"Alas my heart is set...on the fair daughter of rich Capulet....we met, we wooed, me made exchange of vow..."
"Either thou or I or both must go with him!"
"Banishment....be merciful say death...for exile hath more terror in its heart than death....do not say banishment!"
"Ah....my spirit is revived by this...speakest thou of Juliet...where is she, and how doth she...and what sayest she to our cancelled love?"
Juliet: "Then, window let day in and let life out!"
Romeo: "Farewell, farewell! One kiss and I'll descend!"
J. "Art thou gone so? Love, lord, husband, friend!
I must hear from thee every day in the hour, for in a minute there are
many days...."
"Trust me, love...all our troubles now will serve as sweet discourse in our times to come!"
"How sweet is love itself possessed...when but love's shadows are so rich in joy!"
"Well Juliet...I will lie with thee tonight...I will hence tonight!"
"And with a kiss...I die..."
From Marvin's Room....
thanks to Cecily (who has honoured me with her friendship!)
Lee: Look at you. You look like a pig!
Hank: I'm working on an engine.
Lee: Don't they let you shower?
Hank :They told me you were here and I was supposed to come here.
Lee: Are you behaving yourself?
Hank: They're not strapping me down anymore!
Lee: Well, don't abuse that priviledge!
Hank: So how come you're visiting?
Lee: What do you mean...I don't need a reason to visit.
Hank: Then how come you never visited before?
Lee: I have visited before...but you were unconscious!
Hank: That doesn't count as a visit How can it be a visit when I didn't even know you were there, Ma?
Lee: Maybe if I knew you were going to be conscious, I would visit more often. Do you have some sort of schedule I can take with me?
Lee: You know your Aunt Bessie down in Florida. Well she's got leukemia, and I guess she's not doing too well...there's a possibility she might die.
Hank: I didn't know I had an Aunt Bessie.
Lee: Sure you did, my sister. Your aunt. She lives down in Florida.
Hank: I didn't know you had a sister.
Lee: She's been to the house.
Hank: When?
Lee: Right after your Dad and me got married.
Hank: Mom, I wasn't born yet!
Lee: Oh, I guess you weren't. Well, I know I've mentioned her, she's my sister. You know at Christmas I always say, "It looks like Bessie didn't send a card this year either?"
Hank: Oh ya.
Lee: They want us to get tested to see if our bone marrow is compatible because they could maybe save her life if they do a bone marrow transplant.
Hank: What if I don't want to do it?
Hank: I don't know her. Why should I let them do anything to me?
Dr. Charlotte: Hank, is there something you want to say to your mother?
Lee: Will it take long, because I am really late!
Hank: Mom, I'm really sorry I burned down the house.
Lee: Is that it? Because I'm really late.....
Lee: Why aren't you coming in?
Hank: They're doing the top ten countdown and I want to hear number one!
Lee: What number are they on now?
Hank: Eighty-six!
Bessie: I'm your Aunt Bessie who you've never laid eyes on, and I don't care if you are all grown up, I expect a great big hug!
Hank: Sure. (He gets out of the car and hugs Bessie.)
Hank:( picks a potoato chip out of a bowl)
Lee: Hank, did your Aunt Bessie offer you a chip yet?
Bessie: Oh, that's okay, that's what they're there for.
Lee: He has to wait to be asked. Put the chip back, Hank.
(Pause)
Put it back!
(Pause again)
(Lee crumbles the chip in Hank's hand.)
Bessie: Lee, I put them out for the kids.
Lee: You don't understand---he has to wait to be asked!
Bessie: Hank, would you like a chip?
Hank: No thanks, Aunt Bessie, not right now.
Lee: Your Aunt offered you a chip, Hank-----the polite thing to do would be to take one.
Hank: I don't want one right now.
Lee: Take a chip or no Disney World!
Hank: I don't give a fuck about Disney World....alright? (Hank runs out of the room)
Bessie: Hank....is that you?
Hank: Yeah.
Bessie: What are you doing out here?
Hank: Nothing. Do you want me to go inside?
Bessie: No, unless....will your Mom care?
Hank: She's asleep.
Bessie: We're all glad you're here.
Hank: Yeah...we should do it again in like another seventeen years.
(Pause)
Hank: I haven't made my mind up about being tested yet.
Bessie:Is that what you're doing.....sitting out here thinking about it?
Hank: No.
Bessie: Oh. What were you thinking about?
(Pause)
You don't have to tell me of course.
(Pause)
What are you doing with the tools?
Hank: I was just looking at them. I was going to put them back.
Bessie: I didn't think you were stealing them, Hank. You can have them if you want them.
Hank: Really?
Bessie:Sure.
Hank: You're just gonna give them to me?
Bessie: Sure.
Hank: These are really cool tools.
Bessie: That used to be your grandfather's toolbox, I think he'd like you to have it.
Hank:They won't let me keep these, though. When I go back they're moving me to a place for adults.
Bessie: Why?
Hank: I turn eighteen in three weeks.
Bessie: Hank, what do you want to be when you grow up?
Hank: I AM grown up!
(Pause)
So, Marvin liked to fix stuff.
Bessie: Maybe that's where you get it from. He's been sick for a very long time.
HankDo you ever wish he'd just die?
Bessie: Hank, don't ask that!
Hank: Why not?
Bessie: It's rude.
From Titanic...
Sound bites

"We don't have lice...we're Americans!"
"Give me your hand....I'll pull you over"
"I'm a good swimmer...but to tell you the truth, I'm a lot more concerned about that water bein' so cold...."
"With all due respect, miss....I'm not the one hangin' off the back of a ship here!"
"I've got you...I won't let go!"
"So you wanna go to a real party?"

Jack"Never let go..."
Rose"I'll never let go, Jack...I'll never let go..."
From Man in the Iron Mask
Aramis (Jeremy Irons): Some of this is legend, but at least this much is fact, when rioting citizens of France destroyed the bastille they discovered within it's records this mysterious entry: Prisoner #64389000--the Man in the Iron Mask.
King Louis XIV (Leonardo DiCaprio): Do not underestimate the Dutch!
King Louis XIV: Riots! But Paris is the most beautiful city in the world, why should my people
feel anything but pride and contentment?
King Louis XIV: Who is that?
Franciouse: Raoul, the son of Athos.
King Louis XIV: Franciouse, your tastes may run to young soldiers, but I was referring to the beauty next to him.
D'Artagnan (Gabriel Byrne): A fool's blade is sharper than his brain.
King Louis XIV: Let us play a game. Let us pretend as if I am king and you are the captain of my musketeers. Let us behave as if my wish is law and my wish, D'Artagnan, is to enjoy this party.
King Louis XIV: Christine, isn't it? I would have thought it was impossible, but I do believe the
excitement of this whole chase has made you even more beautiful.
Christine: Sire, I... Thank you. I'm...
King Louis XIV: You blush. You do not wish to look beautiful for your king?
Christine: No, sire. I mean, yes. Yes, of course, sire. I mean, that you are...
King Louis XIV: It's all right, I understand that you're not accustomed to these surroundings, but that is a condition we can happily remedy. One such as you would fit nicely as a lady in waiting.
Christine: His majesty is...is very, very kind, but I'm engaged to Raoul...or will be when he manages to ask me.
King Louis XIV: You would choose a soldier. A soldier, who has not yet proposed...above a king?
Christine: I could only be faithful to my heart. King Louis XIV: But how faithful is that heart to you?
Athos: Has there been some kind of disaster?! Has everyone else been called back??!!
Raoul (looks distressed): I-I believe the kings eye has fallen on Christine.
Athos (John Malkovich): The king is a dog! A dog and a coward.
Raoul: But I am neither and so I go.
D'Artagnan: I have not yet lost faith that he may become the king we all wish him to be.
Girl: You were right, a woman has never known love, until she has known the love of a king.
King Louis XIV: I'm hungry. (he gets up and puts on his robe)
Girl: I'll have some food brought?
King Louis XIV: Oh, I like to eat alone. By the way you'll be leaving tomorrow.
D'Artagnan: You are constantly surrounded by beautiful woman. Do you love any of them?
King Louis XIV: Quite frequently actually.
D'Artagnan: And they love you? How do you know that when a women gives you her most intimate embrace, that it is you and not your crown that she pulls to her heart?
King Louis XIV: You think my affairs are empty?
D'Artagnan: I think that it is possible for one man to love one woman all his life and be the better for her, yes.
King Louis XIV: You may be right. Perhaps, I haven't met a woman with a heart like my own...until recently.
D'Artagnan: And would that be Christine?
Louis: It is good that you watch me D'Artagnan, but I fear that you watch me too closely.
D'Artagnan: Did you send Raoul to the war so you would be free to pursue her?
Louis: Do you question my honor?
D'Artagnan: No I do not question your honor. It's you I care about.
Louis: Raoul will return soon, you have my word.
King Louis XIV: I'm a young king, but I am King.
D'Artagnan: Then be a good king.
King Louis XIV: The next time there are rioters, shoot them.
King Louis XIV: You're so beautiful (kisses Christine).
Christine: I cannot do this.
King Louis XIV (kisses her on the shoulder): Christine, I hope you know that there is more to me to love, than a crown.
King Louis XIV: Of all the wonders I have seen. I've never looked upon anything as beautiful as you.
D'Artagnan: You cannot ask me to betray my king.
Aramis: Why are you so glum?
Porthos (Gerard Depardieu): I expected action, there was no killing. There was no fighting. I was useless!
Aramis: One day I will ask for your forgiveness...but not until I have restored you for what is yours.
Phillipe (Leonardo DiCaprio): Restored?
Aramis: We will replace Louis with Phillipe.
Athos: That, is your plan? Exchanging one for the other? Its ludicrous!
Aramis: I can assure you its brilliant. What did you imagine we were up to?
Athos: Revolution. Open war.
Aramis: Blood in the streets.
Porthos: But at least its a change.
Athos: Physical resemblance is but a beginning. Louis has an arrogance, a manner.
Aramis: Which can be adopted.
Athos: And people close to him.
Aramis: Do you imagine I've not considered that. That I've not considered everything.
Athos: Have you considered that it is not only our lives that you risk? It is Phillipe's as well?
Aramis: Yes and like us he has a choice. What about it Phillipe? All those years in prison waiting for nothing or have they given you reserves of strength unlike ordinary men. You have the chance to be a king, if you have the heart to take that chance. Do you have that heart, Phillipe?
D'Artagnan: Anne, I know that to love you is a treason against France, but not to love you is a treason against my heart.
Anne of D'Autriche: Then we will both die traitors, D'Artagnan.
Phillipe: I've been in prison for six years. You have freed me, but now you're asking me to enter another prison.
Porthos: The palace is hardly a prison.
Phillipe: See those farm maids working there? See the one holding the lamb? I would tend lambs with her for the rest of my life.
Aramis: We're offering you a chance to be king.
Phillipe: No, you're offering me a chance to PRETEND to be king. A king that you hate.
Athos: Not everyone hates him.
Phillipe: Don't you? Why should I become him? Until you give a reason I won't do it. I cannot.
Christine: I love him, Louis. I love him still.
King Louis XIV: Still.
Christine: And in pretending to love you, I do something awful.
King Louis XIV: You pretend?
Christine: I have sinned against love and God for the sake of your mercy, which you would not have given me without my sin. I will burn in Hell, so will you.
King Louis XIV: No, no, no. No my love, YOU will burn in Hell, I will not. For I am King, ordained by God!
Porthos: I love Paris! I love life!
Aramis: It is judgment day!
Athos: You have the heart of a king.
Christine: MURDERER!!!
Phillipe (as Louis): Christine.
Christine: I wrote to the front and of your seal. I wrote as you, demanding to know why the general disregarded the order to keep Raoul out of danger. He writes back, "But your Majesty, your last letter ordered me to place him at the vanguard of the assault just in front of the cannon." You killed Raoul.
[Christine is restrained by the king's men]
Phillipe (as Louis): Take your hands off her, you're hurting her.
[whispers] However I have wronged you, I will make amends.
King Louis XIV: I was told this impostor was dead.
D'Artagnan: You knew? You knew there was a man of such resemblance?
King Louis XIV: He is my brother. D'Artagnan: Brother?
King Louis XIV: My twin, my blood, the fact which has kept him alive until now.
Queen Anne: Louis, please.
King Louis XIV (pushes his mother): You were a part of this too, mother?
Queen Anne: He is your brother. I love you both.
King Louis XIV: And your love has meant nothing to either of us!
Phillipe: It has meant something to me.
[Louis hits Phillipe]
King Louis XIV: You will hunt down Porthos, Athos, and Aramis and bring me their heads...or I will have yours.
King Louis XIV: And as for you my brother, back to the prison you shall go, and into the mask you hate! WEAR IT UNTIL YOU LOVE IT! And you die in it.
Porthos: I'd rather die covered in blood than an old man lying in my own piss.
Phillipe: I wear the mask. It does not wear me.
King Louis XIV: Charge them!
D'Artagnan: ...but if we must die, if we must die, let if be like this.
Athos: One for all, all for one.
[Phillipe and the four musketeers charge the gunmen with only their swords]
Gunsman: Magnificent valor!
Phillipe (speaking of D'Artagnan): You were the one in the mask.
