Writer's Block: My Favorite Movie Quote

[topaz]

[Error: unknown template qotd]"Nobody, and I mean nobody, can talk a junkie out of using. You can talk to 'em for years but sooner or later they're gonna get ahold of something. Maybe it's not dope. Maybe it's booze, maybe it's glue, maybe it's gasoline. Maybe it's a gunshot to the head. But something. Something to relieve the pressures of their everyday life, like.... having to tie their shoes."

--Bob (Matt Dillon) in Drugstore Cowboy

It's one of my favorite movies. And it ages well. And the script is tremendously underappreciated.

"I predict in the near future right-wingers will use drug hysteria as a pretext to set up an international police apparatus."
