Rent (film)

"You can't wipe out an entire tent city then... watch It's A Wonderful Life on TV!"

"I'm writing one great song before I... oh."

"Zoom in on my empty wallet."

"Find glory, beyond the cheap colored lights. One song, before the sun sets. Glory - on another empty life."

"Glory: in a song that rings true. Truth like a blazing fire, an eternal flame."

"Find: One song, one last refrain. Glory, of the pretty boy front man. Who wasted opportunity."

"One song, he had the world at his feet. Glory, in the eyes of a young girl. A young girl..."

"Time flies then no need to endure anymore."

"I didn't recognize you without the handcuffs."

"Your sweet whisper, I just can't handle! So take your hair in the moonlight, your brown eyes, goodbye goodnight!"

"You wanna prove me wrong, come back another day!"

"[To Angel, who's knocing the padlock off the door] Watch your fingers."

"That's a full service woman you got there."

"It's true you're with this yuppie scum?"

"Mark's got his work, they say Mark lives for his work and Mark's in love with his work. Mark hides in his work."

"All your words are nice Mimi, but love's not a three way street! You'll never share real love until you love yourself, I should know!"

"I see Mimi everywhere."

"I hear it, I hear it, I hear it my song!"

"You were the song all along, and before the song dies… I should tell you, I should tell you, I have always loved you. You can see it in my eyes!"

"December 24, 9 PM, Eastern Standard Time. From here on in, I shoot without a script. See if anything comes from it, instead of my old shit."

"The music ignites the night with passionate fire."

"There are times, when we're dirt broke and hungry, and I ask myself "What the hell am I still doing here?" and then they call, and I remember..."

"First I got a protest to save."

"And Roger will attempt to write a bittersweet, evocative song... that doesn't remind us of "Musetta's Waltz.""

"That sleezy news show Buzzline wants to take a meeting."

"Look, this is not my Bar Mitzvah, give it back to me!"

"[About Maureen committing to Joanne] This can't be happening."

"Hey, guys, all our shit's back!"

"That drip of hurt, that pint of shame, goes away—just play the game!"

"I see it my film!"

"Alexi? Mark. Call me a hypocrite. I need to finish my own film. I quit!"

"December 24, 1990, 10 PM, Eastern Standard Time. I can't believe a year went by so fast."

"Hey, Collins, don't get your ass kicked this time!"

"Mutual Masturbation!"

"(With Roger, Collins, Angel, and support group while filming) Will I loose my dignity? Will someone care? Will I wake tomorrow, from this nightmare?"

"[In Goodbye Love] (To Roger) Perhaps it's because I'm the one of us to survive!"

"How do you document real life, when real life is getting more like fiction each day?"

"We could light the candle… Oh, what'd you do with my candle!"

"But now and then I like to feel good."

"Meow... HA!"

"Get up—life's too quick. I know someplace sick, where this chick'll dance in the flames!"

"In the evening I've got to roam—can't sleep in the city of neon and chrome."

"So let's find a bar, so dark we forget who we are, where all the scars from the nevers and maybes die!"

"I live this moment as my last!"

"No day but today."

"I'm lookin' for baggage that goes with mine."

"AZT break..."

"I should tell you—I blew the candle out, just to get back in."

"Without you, the tides change, the boys run, the oceans crash."

"How do you write a song when the chords sound wrong, though they once sounded right and rare?"
