Cold mountain

J'ai adoré ce film. Il est trés émouvant, et même drôle. Et puis la bande de son est captivante. J'ai particuliérement flâché sur cette chanson.

Alison Krauss
You Will Be My Ain True Love
You'll walk unscathed through musket fire,
No ploughman's blade will cut thee down,
No cutless wound will mark thy face
And you will be my ain true love,
And you will be my ain true love

And as you walk through death's dark veil,
The cannon's thunder can't prevail,
And those who hunt thee down will fail,
And you will be my ain true love,
And you will be my ain true love.

Asleep inside the cannon's mouth,
The captain cries, "Here comes the rout, "
They'll seek to find me north and south,
I've gone to find my ain true love.

The field is cut and bleeds to red.
The cannon balls fly round my head,
The infirmary man may count me dead,
When I've gone to find my ain true love,
I've gone to find my ain true love

Et sur ce passage:
RUBY
What's this wood?

ADA
I don't know. Locust?

RUBY
Where's North?

ADA
North is, North is --

RUBY
Name me three herbs growing wild on
this farm.

ADA
(frustrated with Ruby
and with herself)
I can't! I can't! All right? I can
talk about farming in Latin. Will
that do? I can read French. I know
Harmony and Counterpoint. I know my
Bible. I can name the principal rivers
of Europe, but don't ask me to name
one stream in this county. I can
embroider, but I can't darn, I can
arrange cut flowers, but I can't
grow them. If a thing has a function,
if I might do something with it, it
wasn't considered suitable.

RUBY
Why?

ADA
Ruby, you could ask why? about pretty
much everything to do with me.

They manage to get the first line of rail set down.

ADA
This fence is about the first thing
I've ever done that'll produce an
actual result.

RUBY
So you never wrapped your legs around
this Inman?

Desperate housewives

Voici un petit extrait de la saison 3 de Desperate que j'ai adoré (la saison et l'extrait!!). La scéne se déroule entre Carlos et Edie (qui est trés touchante!). La saison 3 est un petit bijou, bien meilleure que la précédente. J'attends avec impatience la 4!!!!

Edie: "Thanks for the flowers."
Carlos: "You're welcome. Come on."
Edie: "You know, about Travers...you can see him if you want. He misses you."
Carlos: "I miss him, too."
Edie: "Oh, and just so you know, he's at a sleepover, so I didn't leave him alone with a six-pack and some matches."
Carlos: "Look, Edie, um...what I said about you the other day was..."
Edie: "Dead-on. You nailed me, Carlos. Maybe not the way that I wanted you to, but still..."
Carlos: "But I had no right to judge you. Besides, the guys, the clothes, the partying. That's you. I mean, that's the Edie that we love."
Edie: "Well, I'm glad you love her, because I'm getting pretty tired of her."
Carlos: "Come on..."
Edie: "I'm a forty-year-old party girl. Do you think that I don't know that my days are numbered?"
Carlos: "I don't know what you want me to say here."
Edie: "Don't say anything. Just...Stop seeing the person that I've been and start seeing the person I could be. Look at me, not the Edie that I show the world. In fact... let's lose her. Forget the blouse that she wears because she knows it shows off her cleavage."

She takes off her blouse.

Carlos: "Edie, what are you doing?"
Edie: "And the skirt that's so short because she knows that guys love long legs."

She takes off her skirt.

Edie: "And the heels. The ones that make her legs look even longer."

She takes off her shoes.

Carlos: "Edie, please."
Edie: "Forget the bra that holds her breasts a little higher than they are on their own these days."

She takes off her bra.

Edie: "And the panties. The ones that hide the scar from my c-section."

She takes off her panties and stands before Carlos, naked.

Edie: "This is it. Hi, Carlos. I'm Edie. I might not be the woman that you thought I was under all of that... But I'm real, and I'm here. And I'm asking for a chance."

Carlos goes over to her and hugs her.
