Favorite Movie Quotes: Ещё раз про любовь = Once Again for Love

"Attention please. Monitor[?] announces the arrival of Flight 398 from Budapest. Thank you."

OK, I realize this isn't much of a quote, but it is the only line in English in this Soviet unsubtitled film, and it is a garbled background international airport announcement line at that. If any of my Russian-speaking readers know this movie and can supply a good quote please feel free to contribute. I understand this film is considered a classic in Soviet cinema.

Favorite Movie Quotes: Ernest Goes to Jail

"So it's come to this. A pointless, miserable end to a shallow, meaningless life. But it's as it should be. It's the hand I've been dealt, and I have to play it as it lays. Oh, I'm not going to cry because life's thrown me a curve. I'm not going to whine because I got mashed potatoes when French fries is what I really wanted. It's time for me to step up to the plate, belly up to the bar! It's time for me to look fate square in the eye, flare my nostrils, breathe life's last breath! It's time for me to lie down with lions so I can soar with the eagles! All right! I'm ready! Come and get me! Let's do it!"
