Holly Golightly Rocks My World!

So several weeks ago I saw Breakfast At Tiffanys for the first time and absolutely fell in love with it...and Audrey Hepburn. I immediatly purchased the DVD and watched it twice last week because I was determined to make all my friends see it. I now can quote the movie. Here's just some of the memorable dialogue...

Holly Golightly: He's all right! Aren't you, cat? Poor cat! Poor slob! Poor slob without a name! The way I see it I haven't got the right to give him one. We don't belong to each other. We just took up one day by the river. I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together. I'm not sure where that is but I know what it is like. It's like Tiffany's.

Paul Varjak: Tiffany's? You mean the jewelry store.

Holly Golightly: That's right. I'm just CRAZY about Tiffany's!

Holly Golightly: You know those days when you get the mean reds?

Paul Varjak: The mean reds, you mean like the blues?

Holly Golightly: No. The blues are because you're getting fat and maybe it's been raining too long, you're just sad that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling?

Paul Varjak: Sure.

Holly Golightly: Well, when I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to Tiffany's. Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there. If I could find a real-life place that'd make me feel like Tiffany's, then - then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name!

Paul Varjak: You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You're chicken, you've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, "Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness." You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing," and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.

Holly Golightly: But just look at the goodies she brought with her.

Paul Varjak: He's all right, I suppose, if you like dark, handsome, rich-looking men with passionate natures and too many teeth.

Well anyway, my new-found adoration of Audrey Hepburn inspired me to go out and rent every movie I could of hers. So far I've only seen My Fair Lady and Sabrina but I'm working on the others. I liked Sabrina much more than My Fair Lady (too many damn songs) but she was amazing in both. There's just something about her...she's rather captivating. I've seen her go from a mentally unstable socialite to a loud uncouth street merchant, to a modest French- speaking girl next door and play each role perfectly elegant. Then there's of course her iconic style and stunning beauty. I'm not a lesbo, just a really big fan.
