Quotes from a truly great flick!

 

" Being There " (1979).......starring Peter Sellers

 

 

 

Doctor Allenby: This won't hurt a bit.

[sticks Chance with a needle]

Chance the Gardener: It did hurt.

 

 

 

 

[Riding in a car for the first time]

Chance the Gardener: This is just like television, only you can see

much further.

 

 

 

 

[With other poor black seniors, watching Chance on TV]

Louise: It's for sure a white man's world in America. Look here: I

raised that boy since he was the size of a piss-ant. And I'll say

right now, he never learned to read and write. No, sir. Had no brains

at all. Was stuffed with rice pudding between th' ears. Shortchanged

by the Lord, and dumb as a jackass. Look at him now! Yes, sir, all

you've gotta be is white in America, to get whatever you want.

Gobbledy-gook!

 

 

 

 

Chance the Gardener: I like to watch.

 

 

 

 

President " Bobby " : Mr. Gardner, do you agree with Ben, or do you

think that we can stimulate growth through temporary incentives?

[Long pause]

Chance the Gardener: As long as the roots are not severed, all is

well. And all will be well in the garden.

President " Bobby " : In the garden.

Chance the Gardener: Yes. In the garden, growth has it seasons. First

comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then

we get spring and summer again.

President " Bobby " : Spring and summer.

Chance the Gardener: Yes.

President " Bobby " : Then fall and winter.

Chance the Gardener: Yes.

Benjamin Rand: I think what our insightful young friend is saying is

that we welcome the inevitable seasons of nature, but we're upset by

the seasons of our economy.

Chance the Gardener: Yes! There will be growth in the spring!

Benjamin Rand: Hmm!

Chance the Gardener: Hmm!

President " Bobby " : Hm. Well, Mr. Gardner, I must admit that is one of

the most refreshing and optimistic statements I've heard in a very,

very long time.

[benjamin Rand applauds]

President " Bobby " : I admire your good, solid sense. That's precisely

what we lack on Capitol Hill.

 

 

 

 

 

Ron Steigler: Mr. Gardner, uh, my editors and I have been wondering

if you would consider writing a book for us, something about your um,

political philosophy, what do you say?

Chance the Gardener: I can't write.

Ron Steigler: Heh, heh, of course not, who can nowadays? Listen, I

have trouble writing a postcard to my children. Look uhh, we can give

you a six figure advance, I've provide you with the very best ghost-

writer, proof-readers...

Chance the Gardener: I can't read.

Ron Steigler: Of course you can't! No one has the time! We, we glance

at things, we watch television...

Chance the Gardener: I like to watch TV.

Ron Steigler: Oh, oh, oh sure you do. No one reads!

 

 

 

 

 

Dennis Watson: You know, I've never met anyone like you in Washington

before.

Chance the Gardener: Yes, I've been here all my life.

Dennis Watson: Really? And uh, where have you been all MY life?

[laughs]

Dennis Watson: Ah, tell me, Mr. Gardner... have you ever had sex with

a man?

Chance the Gardener: No... I don't think so.

Dennis Watson: We could go upstairs right now.

Chance the Gardener: Is there a TV upstairs? I like to watch.

Dennis Watson: You like to uh, watch?

Chance the Gardener: Yes.

Dennis Watson: You wait right here. I'll go get Warren!

 

 

 

 

President " Bobby " : Life is a state of mind.

 

 

 

 

Morton Hull: Do you realize that more people will be watching you

tonight, than all those who have seen theater plays in the last forty

years?

Chance the Gardener: Why?

 

 

 

 

 

[Thomas and Johanna are watching Chance's interview on TV]

Thomas Franklin: It's that gardener.

Johanna, girl with Franklin: Yes, Chauncey Gardiner.

Thomas Franklin: No, he's a real gardener.

Johanna, girl with Franklin: He does talk like one. I think he's

brilliant.

 

 

 

 

 

Chance the Gardener: [scrawled on a wall in the ghetto as Chance the

Gardener leaves " the house " for the first time] AMERiCA AiNT, Shit

causE THE WHITE MaN's Gota god ComplEX.

 

 

 

 

[upon walking out of an elevator]

Chance the Gardener: That was a very small room.

 

 

 

if you haven't seen it, my recommendation is to rent it and enjoy the

wisdom of the no-thought honesty of Chance the Gardener. He's TRUE,

the wise interpreters are......well like most of us.

Glad you've enjoyed them Ana. Yep, some of my faves. I'm a buff of

the movies, and am sometimes amazed at what's in some of 'em if you

listen, as well as letting yourself get caught up in the visuals and

linear story lines. And it is astounding as you say how Chance takes

a chance on giftings of grace. Like Alan Funt's tagline on the old

Candid Camera.. " Don't be surprised if someone, somewhere comes up to

you and says: SMILE, you're on Candid Camera! " ... and Ralph

Cramden's " Bang! Zoom! Right to the moon Alice! " ...one of these days

of Now, our personalities may smile with a smile of surprise and

coming home......and no longer miss the moon... for all the bang and

the zoom.......... that clang on our tombs. Wouldn't that be nice.

Bob,

 

It is not the movies that hold the deeper meanings.....It is the

Understanding that breaks through the clouds of knowing and allows

that which always is to be known.

 

Any time now........all things will shimmer in their original

newness....and you will find your self wandering....once again through

the light of love...in the garden.

toombaru..........i know the movies don't hold the meanings...deep or

otherwise. did I say that? thought I was saying the diametrical

opposite thing. if any meaning is to be found, I think it's in us,

and is already the existing case within our beings. as I said if you

look through or over or beyond the visuals, and even the story

line...which I believe is what makes up the bulk of the movie(and

most of our so called life), you may find in the words alone, a

wisdom that you already are in possesion of....always. and that the

receiving and awareness of that gracious gifting is always and

everywhere happening on and through the threshold we sit upon. on

looking over the posting, I have noticed the use of the term 'tomb',

which may have seemed a veiled referent to your handle...but I assure

you, it was not. I only was trying to indicate the 'dead man walking'

condition that so sadly and so often obtains with us. a hope for

awakening, that is already present..here, now, always and forever,

without beginning or end, and only requires an attentive

recognition....nothing can be gained or lost to or from THAT. the

only loss, would be the illusion and persistent delusion of a

seperate something that never was or will be. and wouldn't that be

nice?
