"Where? Where have you been all these years? Where have you been?"

"I'm here now."

Oh yes, I remember this clearly

...if little else from the book.

I watched the movie again, on DVD, last night. It's been a long time since I saw it. Even longer since I read the book.

I ought to read the book again. The movie was sort of fun to watch again, but I recall the book was much better.

Yeah

Haven't read that since high school. Long time. Should pick up another copy.

Re: Yeah

[rowyn]

I may check it out from the library sometime soon here. :)

One of my absolute favorite lines from the book/movie.

[rowyn]

mister_wolf used one of my contenders for "good quotes" already: "I have been mortal. And part of me is mortal still."

But I think I like "I am here now" even better.

Wasn't Molly Grue was in tears when she said that?
And Schmendrick seemed taken back that she spoke to the Unicorn in such a way.

There are so many memorable quotes.
Another one that sticks in my mind:

The Unicorn spoke quietly to him. "You are a true wizard now, as you always wished. Does it make you happy?"
"Well," said Schmendrick slowly, "Men don't always know when they're happy but, I...I think so."

[rowyn]

Yes, you have the scene. That's the a good line from Schmendrick, too. You know, it's nice to see someone in a story get the magic power they want, and not have it be a bad thing. :)

[sheepdog.livejournal.com]

Yes. And Schmendrick is one of my favorite magicians and probably the only one I could ever trust. :-)

"Where were you twenty years ago? Ten years ago? Where were you when I was new? When I was one of those innocent young maidens you always come to? How dare you! How dare you come to me now, when I am this!"

>"Where? Where have you been all these years? Where have you been?"
>"I'm here now."

You have no idea how much restraint it's taking me to not turn this into a Pythonesque argument between the two characters. ':)

(And then only because I haven't read the book and therefore feel I don't have the "right".)

[level-head.livejournal.com]

This is not deserving of Dead Parody, I think.

At another time, it might be open season. But I am pleased at your restraint! You have many talents, apparently. ];-)

O.o

[rowyn]

I have the strong sense there's a pun in there some where, and I'm just not getting it.

*eyes the dragon suspiciously*

Re: O.o

"Dead Parrot-y".

I WAS trying to be sensitive, you know. ];-)

Re: O.o

[rowyn]

And if only I were more sensitive, I could've made sense of that without the explanation. :)

Re: O.o

[sheepdog.livejournal.com]

Kinda like a red bull in a china shop. ;-P

[rowyn]

Issa good book. No, really. :)

But even so, I'd forgive you for making a silly argument out of it. Especially if I got to read the silly argument. :)

just remember....

[jimmy-hollaman.livejournal.com]

The Last Unicorn

[tuftears.livejournal.com]

One of my favorite scenes to remember is the one where Schmendrick conjures up the visions of Robin and his men, and the outlaw band is all agape at their dreams made life.
