I doubt there is anyone who knows the British people more than I do, Mr. Blair, nor who has greater faith in their wisdom and judgement. And it is my belief that they will any moment reject this... this "mood", which is being stirred up by the press, in favor of a period of restrained grief, and sober, private mourning. That's the way we do things in this country, quietly, with dignity. That's what the rest of the world has always admired us for."

"My name is Linda Peeno. I am here primarily today to make a public confession: In the Spring of 1987, as a physician, I denied a man a necessary operation that would have saved his life, and thus caused his death. No person, and no group has held me accountable for this, because in fact, what I did was I saved a company a half a million dollars for this. And for the more, this particular act secured my reputation as a good medical director, and it insured my continued advancement in the health care field. I went from making a few hundred dollars a week as a medical reviewer, to an escalating six-figure income as a physician executive. In all my work, I had one primary duty, and that was to use my medical expertise for the financial benefit for the organization which I worked. And I was told repeatedly that I was not denying care, I was simply denying payment. I know how managed care maims and kills patients. So I am here to tell you about the dirty work of managed care. And I'm haunted by the thousands of pieces of paper in which I have written that deadly word - "denied". "

"Interesting that you and your father were so moved by the '43 Prix. One of the great finishes in the history of racing, right? Everyone remembers Burns and Stickleton slugging it out. But who remembers Carl Potts? Driving this rebuilt Wittigan for lodyne Industries, Potts spun out in the second lap and went down as a DNF, a forgettable and pathetic finish, so bad that afterwards, lodyne stock dropped six points. But as Ben Burns sat guzzling cold, fresh milk in Victory Lane, a thousand cameras taking his picture, Sirrus Aeronautics saw almost a 12-point gain, which immediately blocked Penninsula Power Cell from being able to afford the price of a complete takeover. This put Joel Goldman, the CEO of lodyne, Inc., in the exact position he wanted to be in. By first buying controlling interest in his own company at a devalued price, he then brokered a merger with Sirrus that immediately sent lodyne into the gains record book, the only record book that matters. Look out that window. There isn't a single plane or helicopter or K-Harrier that isn't powered by lodyne fuel cells. That's what racing is about. It has nothing to do with cars or drivers. All that matters is power, and the unassailable might of money!"

It's actually not exposition at all. It's retelling a story to illustrate a point. The story that's being told isn't the main story of the film, and I think that for a piece of dialogue to qualify as exposition it has to be describing something in the central story explicitly.

But we've all gotta stop... just stop following our own little mouse trail. People can do anything; this is something that I'm beginning to learn. People are out there doing bad things to each other; it's because they've been dehumanized. It's time to take that humanity back into the centre of the ring and follow that for a time.

It's actually not exposition at all. It's retelling a story to illustrate a point. The story that's being told isn't the main story of the film, and I think that for a piece of dialogue to qualify as exposition it has to be describing something in the central story explicitly.

Point taken, but that wasn't really the central thrust of my comment. I was mostly observing that a long paragraph of 'information, information' is not exactly pithy.

"Everything is more complicated than you think. You only see a tenth of what is true. There are a million little strings attached to every choice you make. You can destroy your life every time you choose. But maybe you won't know for twenty years. And you may never, ever trace it to its source. You only get one chance to play it out. Just try and figure out your own divorce. And they say there is no fate, but there is. It's what you create. And even though the world goes on for eons and eons, you are only here for a fraction of a fraction of a second. Most of your time is spent being dead or not yet born. But while alive you wait in vain, wasting years for a phone call, or a letter, or a look, from someone or something to make it all right, and it never comes. Or it seems to but it doesn't really. So you spend your time in vague regret or vaguer hope that something good will come along, something to make you feel connected, something to make you feel whole, something to make you feel loved. And the truth is, I feel so angry. And the truth is, I feel so fucking sad. And the truth is, I've felt so fucking hurt for so fucking long and for just as long I've been pretending I'm okay, just to get along, just for...I don't know why. Maybe because no one wants to hear about my misery, because they have their own.

In my opinion, this ...

"That's what racing is about. It has nothing to do with cars or drivers. All that matters is power, and the unassailable might of money!"

... is a better quote than this ...

"Interesting that you and your father were so moved by the '43 Prix. One of the great finishes in the history of racing, right? Everyone remembers Burns and Stickleton slugging it out. But who remembers Carl Potts? Driving this rebuilt Wittigan for lodyne Industries, Potts spun out in the second lap and went down as a DNF, a forgettable and pathetic finish, so bad that afterwards, lodyne stock dropped six points. But as Ben Burns sat guzzling cold, fresh milk in Victory Lane, a thousand cameras taking his picture, Sirrus Aeronautics saw almost a 12-point gain, which immediately blocked Penninsula Power Cell from being able to afford the price of a complete takeover. This put Joel Goldman, the CEO of lodyne, Inc., in the exact position he wanted to be in. By first buying controlling interest in his own company at a devalued price, he then brokered a merger with Sirrus that immediately sent lodyne into the gains record book, the only record book that matters. Look out that window. There isn't a single plane or helicopter or K-Harrier that isn't powered by lodyne fuel cells. That's what racing is about. It has nothing to do with cars or drivers. All that matters is power, and the unassailable might of money!"

This is over two years or, but --- I bristle at your Hammet/Chandler connection.

Unless you mean Chandler was 'inspired' the same way everybody in the field is inspired by ground breakers. In this sense, the inspiration isn't all that meaningful, as you could just as easily point to Poe and Doyle and Christie as inspirations for Chandler. And in the case of some of them (like Christie), it was a negative reaction.

A sly nod to tumblr? Clever Sorkin.

This is over two years or, but --- I bristle at your Hammet/Chandler connection.

Unless you mean Chandler was 'inspired' the same way everybody in the field is inspired by ground breakers. In this sense, the inspiration isn't all that meaningful, as you could just as easily point to Poe and Doyle and Christie as inspirations for Chandler. And in the case of some of them (like Christie), it was a negative reaction.
Wow, this is over two years old.

I meant mostly the hard-boiled prose, which Hammett arguably invented. I find Chandler's universe and anti-hero a lot more interesting than Hammett's.
