fightclub silentbob People were always asking me, did I know Tyler Durden With a gun barrel between your teeth, you speak only in vowels. Yes. We're men. Men is what we are That was where my head fit -- into his sweating tits that hang enormous, the way we think of God's as big. The things you own, they end up owning you With insomnia, nothing is real. Everything is far away. Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy. Chloe looked the way Joni Mitchell's skeleton would look if you made it smile and walk around a party being extra nice to everyone. You know why they have oxygen masks on planes? The oxygen gets you high. You're taking in giant, panicked breaths and, suddenly, you become euphoric and docile, and you accept your fate. TYLER I grasp the concept. You're very clever. NARRATOR Thank you. TYLER How's that working out for you? -- Being clever. narrator: (thrown off) Well, uh ... uh ... great. TYLER Keep it up, then. Keep it right up. Nine times out of ten, it's an electric razor. One out of ten, it's a dildo. Sometimes it's even a *man*. It's airline policy not to imply ownership in the event of a dildo. We gotta use the indefinite article: "*A* dildo". Never "*Your* dildo". The first rule of fight club is -- you don't talk about fight club. The second rule of fight club is -- you don't talk about fight club.The third rule in fight club is -- when someone says "stop" or goes limp, the fight is over. The fourth rule is -- only two guys to a fight.Fifth rule -- one fight at a time. Sixth rule -- no shirts or shoes. Seventh rule -- fights go on as long as they have to. And the eighth rule of fight club is -- if this is your first night, you *have* to fight. The hysterical shouting was in tongues, like at a Pentecostal church. Self-improvement is masturbaation. Self-destruction is the answer. I Am Jack's Raging Bile Duct I Am Jack's Clenching Bowels I love you. I want to have your abortion Yes, these are bruises from fighting.That's right, I'm enlightened! I Am Jacks Cold Sweat I loved my life. I loved that condo. I loved every stick of furniture. That was my whole life. Everything -- the lamps, the chairs, the rugs -- *were* me. The dishes were me. The plants were me. The television was me. (id like to thank the academy...) Except for their humping, Tyler and Marla were never in the same room. The same disappearing act my parents pulled for years -- one came in, and the other was gone. I'm six years old again, passing messages between my parents. TYLER An expired community college student ID card. What did you used to study, Raymond K. Hessel? RAYMOND S-S-Stuff. TYLER "Stuff". Were the mid-terms hard? This is the greatest moment of your life and you're off somewhere, missing it. Listen. Your father was your model for God. And if your father bails out, what does that tell you about God? You have to consider the possibility that God doesn't like you. He hates you. This is not the worst thing that can happen. His hate is better that His indifference. We are God's middle children, with no special place in history and no special attention. Unless we get God's attention, we have no hope of damnation or redemption. The lower you fall, the higher you fly. The farther you run, the more God wants you back. Someday, you will die. And until you know that, you're useless to me. I Am Jack's Complete Lack Of Surprise I Am Jack's Smirking Revenge. What do you want me to say? That Project Mayhem will knock over the pillars of civilization like dominoes? That it's going to bring about a prematurely-induced dark age? Should I E-mail you? Should I put this on your "action item list"? HITTING BOTTOM ISN'T A WEEKEND RETREAT! IT'S NOT A SEMINAR! ONLY AFTER YOU'VE LOST EVERYTHING ARE YOU FREE TO DO ANYTHING! YOU SEE, YOU LISTEN, BUT YOU DON'T GET IT! YOU HAVE TO FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING YOU THINK YOU KNOW! You just had a near-life experience. You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We are all part of the same compost pile You are not your job. You are not how much money you have in the bank. You are not your checking account. you're not your fucking khakis 001107 ... the spork better yet, i know that i am nothing at all 001107 ... MollyCule silentbob, i love you even more now, you know about the "i wanna have your abortion" line 001115 ... His name was Bird Mad Like a monkey! Ready to be shot off into space... Space Monkey! The all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world. 010110 ... mushroomman How's this for not making a big deal? 010602 ... Tinka it's ying yang language. 010624 ... black-dyed gel product We guard you while you sleep. Do not fuck with us. 010624 ... cali j bring it 010624 ... dB This movie, while being a decidedly "boys getting into deep violent philosophical shit" much like braveheart, really strikes home the idea of where we are at right now. It is true that we are the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world. We are trained from birth to be superficial valueless people. We are trained from the day that we are born that we need to get educated, that we need to get a good job, that we need to be selfish and that we need to be more than the person next to us, or at least have more. This world is a competition of personal wealth. And it's not working... very well. What can we do to change the way things are? Become good Marxists or something? We are truly, the all-dancing, the all-singing, all-smiling, all-putting up with it because we can't bring ourselves to believe that we are capable of anything better, all-ass kissing, social ladder climbing, superficial, demented and sad, primitive and out-moded concept on a cruch of a society... The crap of the world. Man I need coffee. 010625 ... cali j clickin my lighter 010625 ... cali j should be a song in true fight club fashion no guts no glory 010625 ... baby satan i shaved my legs again. 010625 ... paste! well, technically, YOU'RE fucking marla. 010625 ... mushroomman For a second i forgot all about tyler's controled demolition plan with project mayhem and wondered how clean that gun is.... 010707 ... kingsuperspecial a nice, big cock. 010721 ... nemo this has gotta be one of the best movies ever, and i just found out last night that one of my friends hasnt seen it.......... too bad for her 010721 ... marla I haven't been fucked like that since grade school 010806 ... Dinglo the Choded there are those who believe and there are those who think they believe they all die anyway do you believe in life after love fuck there are some who dont believe in love in the first place 010815 ... unhinged yeah, i haven't seen it still even the tunisian told me to see it. i still don't know what i'm waiting for. 010815 ... freakizh i swear i landed here by accident. unless the 'go' clicky is subconciously linked to my whole self. SLIDE! 020520 ... poetic_onslaught ive had the book for awhile but never read it. i decided to go head and read it earlier and i was a little dissapointed. i just finished it and its alot different than movie. the book is really just about anarchy. it sounds like just some other thug trying to fuck things up because he doesnt have it good. the book has an "if i cant have it no one can" type of attitude. it just revolved around dectruction....the words just seemed like excuses to justify the crimes. the movie is definitely better and i see the book just as an inspiration for a kick ass movie. the movie says so much more and its the first movie that ive thought was better than the book 020521 ... sport fucking she's a predator disguised as a housepet 020521 ... silentbob there are some differences but i found the theme was quite the same as the book. a lot of people said the movie was just another excuse to make a violent movie. and it so obviously isn't. its such beautiful sattire of gender roles, society, and the job market. and i think the book had all those things. 020521 ... poetic_onslaught obviously. but i think the movie made its point come across more clear. if i would've read the book first then im sure i would've still thought it was just about anarchy. every thug has his excuse. 'i was raised in a dysfunctional family' 'i needed money to feed my family' 'thats how i had to be to survive'etc. those excuses might not always be complete bullshit but u always have a choice. so really they are just excuses to try to justify the crimes. i think Chuck Palahniuk had an outstanding theme for the book but, because of all the anarchy, it just puts it on the same level as all those other gangster stories. i think twentieth century fox (or the director, or whoever it was that decided how the movie was going to be) saw this too and thats why the movie focuses less on the anarchy on more on the writers outlook on life. 020521 ... mallory To me Fight Club the book was better. It seemed more chilling and just creepier. The book was confusing but thats his style. I just got his new one its pretty good so far 021007 ... endless desire how embarrassing a house full of condiments but no food. worker bees can leave even drones can fly away the queen is their slave we are consumers. i'd fight ghandi. 030710 ... smurfus rex and you open the door and step inside we're inside our hearts now imagine your pain as a white ball of healing light that's right, your pain, the pain itself, is a white ball of healing light i don't think so this is your life, good to the last drop, it doesn't get any better than this this is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time you are not a unique and beautiful snowflake you are not your grande latte I say, deliver me from swedish furniture I say, deliver me from clever art I say, deliver me from clear skin and perfect teeth it's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything 030710 ... delial "You know that old saying, how you always hurt the one you love? Well, it works both ways." "I got this dress at a thrift store for one dollar." "It was worth every penny." "It's a bridesmaid's dress! Someone loved it intensely for one day... and then tossed it. Like a Christmas tree, so special...then, bam! It's on the side of the road...tinsel still clinging to it...like a sex crime victim. Underwear inside out. Bound with electrical tape..." "Well, then it suits you." 030710 ... celestias shadow the abortion line is the best! you met me at a very strange time in my life. 030805 ... megan I am Jack's br oke n heart. 030806 ... has someone said that already? "I havent been fucked like that sense grade school." 030806 ... Peens Oh the book is much better I think. I have read all his books. I'd have to say when the Pixies music kicks in at the end and the buildings start coming down has got to be the best thing in a movie ever. Only thing that was dumb was the "I'd fight Gandhi" line, i mean seriously Gandhi would just sit there and you'd try and punch him and he wouldnt do jackshit. 040211 ... vivolento well thats the point. he wants to fight gandhi because he's the most well known pacifist. he probably wants to make him fight back, because we're animals, we're human. There's nothing wrong with fighting , in fact it helps us get out whats stuck inside. that's why tyler calls it his "new support group" i love how he says: "In the world I see - you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway." 040211 ... Strideo I am Jack's FightClub blathe ... 040212 what's it to you? who go blather from
