An Oldie but a Goodie

My favorite old movie is definitely Breakfast at Tiffany's or as I sometimes call it, Breaky at Tiff's.  This movie is just a classy classic.  Audrey is just..Audrey.  She's fantabulous.  She's splendiferous.  I just love her so much.  Her voice is so singsongy and she's really gorgeous in this movie.  She's great in the dramatic scene where she finds out her brother died but she's also a pro at the witty banter.  George Peppard totes holds his own opposite her.  He's all blond hair blue eyes and brooding.  My favorite scene is without a doubt the party scene.  I wish I could go back in time and go to party like that.  I desperately want to wear a watch on my ankle and smoke using an ultra long cigarette holder.  That party just looks bumpin'.  
Quotes:
 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!


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.


Paul Varjak: I love you.
 Holly Golightly: So what. 
Paul Varjak: So what? So plenty! I love you, you belong to me! 
Holly Golightly: [tearfully] No. People don't belong to people. 
Paul Varjak: Of course they do! 
Holly Golightly: I'll never let ANYBODY put me in a cage. 
Paul Varjak: I don't want to put you in a cage, I want to love you!
