Frankie and Johnny dialogue




Johnny -  "You don't have to be afraid any more."

Frankie -  "I'm afraid to be alone, I'm afraid not to be alone.                
I'm afraid of what I am, what I'm not, what I might become,           
what I might never become.
I don't wanna stay at my job  for the rest of my life but I...    
I'm afraid to leave."     

.......................
Frankie -  "No matter what?"
Johnny -  (nods)

Al Pacino while I'm away



I have already posted about Al Pacino since he is one of the greats according to my parameters.
I use different nicks and I'm Ana Pacino at one of the social networks I go. Sometimes people joke and ask if I'm related to Al and I say: "Sure, I'm his Brazilian lover." and they have nothing left to say.
I once said "He is sending you a "Hello"." "Yes, he came to spend the week-end." and I kept talking about things like the Syria intervention or, NDAA... these subjects people don't like to discuss.
Someone has to do it.
One of the things that I love about him is his voice and it's improving with age... going lower, the kind I like.
He has Italian blood... me too.
He was homeless once. I didn't thank God!

Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman: the high price of Integrity


I remember when I first heard Al Pacino at this scene as many other scenes in the movie Scent of a Woman, a great movie and one of Pacino's great performance.
This is the part I like the most:

Slade: "I'm not a judge or jury. But I can tell you this: he won't sell anybody out to buy his future!! And that, my friends, is called integrity!
That's called courage! Now that's the stuff leaders should be made of.

Now I have come to the crossroads in my life. I always knew what the right path was. Without exception, I knew. But I never took it. You know why? 
It was too damn hard. Now here's Charlie. He's come to the crossroads. He has chosen a path. It's the right path. It's a path made of principle -- that leads to character. Let him continue on his journey."
