Some favourite quotes from Elizabethtown. Credit: IMDB

QUOTE
Drew Baylor: [embracing] Please don't take this as rejection.
Claire Colburn: I really don't.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Drew Baylor: I'm gonna have to call you back...
Heather Baylor: Okay, just dial HELL and I'll answer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drew Baylor: So what are you doing right now?
Claire Colburn: [referring to Drew] I'm checking out this cute guy...
Drew Baylor: [disgusted face] Why are you telling me that?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drew Baylor: [voiceover] There's a diffrence between a failure and a fiasco. A failure is merely the absence of success. Any fool can achieve failure. But a fiasco, a fiasco is a disaster of epic propotions. A fiasco is a folk tale told to other's to make other people feel more alive because it didn't happen to them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drew Baylor: [on cremating his dad] That's the plan - that is the way it's gonna be guys! Sprinkled at sea!
Drew Baylor: [angrily] And that's the decision from California!
[then realising what he just said]
Drew Baylor: Shit, Oregon!
[men at table laughing]
Drew Baylor: We really are from Oregon!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drew Baylor: You know, there is nothing greater than deciding in your life that things maybe really are black and white! And this guy Ben, who clearly takes you for granted, who serially takes advantage of you, is bad! And what I'm saying is good! See what I mean? You shouldn't be the substitute for anybody. This guy should be right here, right now, doing this
[kisses Claire]
Drew Baylor: .

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drew Baylor: What is that word...? Whimsical!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drew Baylor: No true fiasco ever began as a quest for mere adequacy. A motto of the British Special Air Force is: 'Those who risk, win.' A single green vine shoot is able to grow through cement. The Pacific Northwestern salmon beats itself bloody on it's quest to travel hundreds of miles upstream against the current, with a single purpose, sex of course, but also... life

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drew Baylor: And don't worry. Because as great as you look tonight, you are safe with me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drew Baylor: And they all know me, and I don't know any of them. And I've never seen a dead body before.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drew Baylor: I've just recently decided that the things we know aren't black and white.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drew Baylor: You're smart, you'll just wear your shoes and *never* ask any questions. Just enjoy your footwear.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drew Baylor: Did I miss 60B?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drew Baylor: Because we have a moment here, let me tell you that I have recently become a secret connoisseur of 'last looks'. You know the way people look at you when they believe it's for the last time? I've started collecting these looks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drew Baylor: In that moment, I knew success, not greatness, was the only god the world served.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drew Baylor: I'm fine.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drew Baylor: [on phone] I am Currently stealing Chuck and Cindy's wedding beer.
Chuck Hasboro: You're a friend of Chuck's right?
Drew Baylor: Yes, yes I am
Chuck Hasboro: No you're not, I'm Chuck
Drew Baylor: ...Of... Chuck and Cindy?
Claire Colburn: [voiceover] Is that Chuck?
Drew Baylor: It's Chuck!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drew Baylor: By the way, I didn't say 'million,' I said 'billion.' A billion dollars; that's a lot of million.

I think one of my favorite lines is when he back in his cousin's house, and he's telling him my father and I are very close. His cousin just looks at him, doesn't miss a beat and say Yeah, I don't know my father very well either.

Alot is being said in that scene that is not being said.

I love the way we are so familiar with the dialogue. (Query to self - Just how many times have I seen Elizabethtown anyway?) I'm a user of the phrase "I'm fine." Thanks for sharing Libra.
