January Movie Quote from Penelope
Jan 1, 2009 Movie Quotes, Movies Leave a comment
Happy New Year! Welcome to another year of our Monthly Movie Quote. It seems like yesterday that I was launching this new feature but a full year has passed. *sigh* Anyway, I look forward to providing more quotes throughout 2009 and encourage everyone to make suggestions.
We start 2009 with a quote from Penelope starring Christina Ricci and James McAvoy. Since everyone wants to make changes in the new year, I thought it would be nice to look at what we consider curses in our lives and gain some perspective from a child.
January 2009
from:
Penelope (2006)
Penelope: [telling her class her story] And we lived happily ever after - well, happily ever after so far at least.
Child #1: I don’t get it. What does it mean?
Penelope: Well, you tell me what you think it means.
Child #2: Rich people stink!
Child #3: It’s always the mothers fault.
Child #4: It’s not the power of the curse - it’s the power you give the curse.
