Reality Bits is ***THE*** most quotable movie ever, in my humble opinion (and the opinions of my friends, whose opinions are rarely as humble as mine). In fact, as I read the board these days, with all the quotes from the Clerks cartoon, I'm strongly reminded of that movie in this one way. I wasn't too impressed with Reality Bites the first time I saw it, but those lovely quotes just kept popping up in the most appropriate situations...
" I mean, I know why the caged bird sings..."
"Lilayna, if we promise to pay you back, will you spot us a pizza?"
"Who's the boss? Tony Danza? I don't think so!"
"Hey everybody, look at me! I'm Mr. Bhudda on the mountain top here!"
The ever classic Jeneanne:
"Oh...Oh, no...I'm so sorry for bringing you down to my level."
The " I feel like the AIDS character on Melrose Place..." monologue
"Oh, Christ. Is there a support group I...can join...to help me deal with my own homophobia?" scene
And the only really funny line Winona has in that movie:
"Melrose Place is a really good show..."
ClerksTCS has that quotability factor. Where the individual quotes that you can pull out are the real fun of it.
