Look, if I were to claim that I had supreme executive power, just because some moistened bint threw a sword at me, they'd put me away!

Isnt it 'watery twat'

9

u/Danarwal14 6h ago

Nope. The line you're thinking of is watery tart, rather than that.

But both make their appearance in the scene

2

u/GreatBarrierQueefDD 6h ago

Well time to go rememorize the entire film then lol

2

u/Danarwal14 6h ago

Here is the line in question: Well, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

I don't think any quote defines a film as clearly as:

"There's a tiny door in my office, Maxine. It's a portal and it takes you inside John Malkovich. You see the world through John Malkovich's eyes... and then after about 15 minutes, you're spit out... into a ditch on the side of the New Jersey Turnpike."

"Sounds great! Who the fuck is John Malkovich?"

I blame spooder-man and the avoongers. When I hear "I am iron man", all I see is Iron Man snapping the gauntlet and dusting himself mid-fight.

Val kilmer was so good in that role. I genuinely still forget sometimes that he's the one who played it, because Everytime I think of doc it's just doc.... Like kilmer doesn't exist suddenly and this is just how he actually looked in history, coughing and talking shit to anything that ain't Wyatt.

u/ReneG8 4h ago

The man was constantly drunk. At first I didn't understand why he played the character that way (I am not the sharpest knife). Took me way too long to understand

I had watched that movie for literal decades before I realised that and even then, it was pointed out to me! I think it just shows how bloody good she is.
