So I found the writing challenge of my dreams, aka write fics based on good movies' quotes. So I went and chose at random the quotes that I thought were more adapted to be ficced. Then I realized that I'd have gone and written 8 Jack/Sawyer stories out of ten if I claimed the whole fandom so I went and claimed Jack/Sawyer altogether. I still don't know if I'll make a series out of these or if I'll go for one shots but anyway, this is for my reference until I figure it out.
1."How's your leg?" - "Hurts a little." - "Your stomach?" - "Empty as a football." - "And your love life?" - "Not too active." - "Anything else bothering you?" - "Uh-huh, who are you?" -> 'Rear Window'
2.""We can't do that!" - "How do you know? You never tried it." - "Well, yeah, but I never tried shooting myself in the head neither." -> 'The African Queen'
3."Now it isn't that I don't like you, Susan, because, after all, in moments of quiet, I'm strangely drawn toward you, but - well, there haven't been any quiet moments." -> 'Bringing Up Baby'
4. "If you're found, you're lost!" - "Oh, you crazy. How can I be lost if I'm found?" -> 'Duck Soup'
5. "The days go on and on... they don't end. All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention, I believe that one should become a person like other people." -> 'Taxi Driver'
6. "Don't you sometimes wonder if it's worth all this? I mean what you're fighting for." - "You might as well question why we breathe. If we stop breathing, we'll die. If we stop fighting our enemies, the world will die." - "Well, what of it? It'll be out of its misery." -> 'Casablanca'
7. "If I let you change me, will that do it? If I do what you tell me, will you love me?" - "Yes. Yes." - "All right. All right then, I'll do it. I don't care anymore about me." -> 'Vertigo'
8. ""You like her?" - "Sure, I like her." - "What's the attraction?" - "I dunno... she fills gaps." - "What's 'gaps'?" - "I dunno, she's got gaps, I got gaps, together we fill gaps." -> 'Rocky'
9. "I don't have no mama. No family either." - "Hey, I'm your family." - "You know what, when we started out, I thought we was really goin' somewhere. This is it. We're just goin', huh?" - "I love you." -> 'Bonnie and Clyde'
10. "You know, I used to live like Robinson Crusoe. I mean shipwrecked among 8 million people. And then one day I saw a footprint in the sand and there you were." -> 'The Apartment'
2.""We can't do that!" - "How do you know? You never tried it." - "Well, yeah, but I never tried shooting myself in the head neither." -> 'The African Queen'
3."Now it isn't that I don't like you, Susan, because, after all, in moments of quiet, I'm strangely drawn toward you, but - well, there haven't been any quiet moments." -> 'Bringing Up Baby'
