I haven‘t seen“The Diary of a Teenage Girl“ yet, therefore I picked a piece from the script which is marvelous. Here we go: Raised voices can be heard from Charlotte’s bedroom. Through a crack in the door, Monroe and Charlotte are fighting. MONROE: What? You're not taking him seriously, are you? CHARLOTTE: Maybe you’ve already slept with her, have you? Minnie tip-toes down the hall, toward Charlotte’s cracked door. She stops, listens to Monroe and Charlotte fighting. MONROE: What? Are you crazy? She’s a fucking kid. Minnie instinctively drops to the ground, to get a better listen. Through the crack in the door, she gets glimpses. CHARLOTTE: She may be just a kid, but she’s got tits and ass. I think you can see that as well as I can. Monroe goes close to Charlotte, touching her arm. Minnie winces. MONROE: Pascal needs to have the fucking shit kicked out of him. Why do you think he would say something like that? He doesn’t want you to be happy. He can’t stand the fact that you’ve moved on. CHARLOTTE: You are so full of shit, Monroe. I have seen you staring at her tits! MONROE: What? I don’t even know if she has tits. Maybe she does, maybe she doesn’t. I’ve never looked. I was probably looking at your tits and you got confused. Minnie looks like she might throw up. MONROE (CONT’D): Come here. Drink your drink. Minnie crawls closer, so she can see Monroe and Charlotte on the bed. Monroe feeds Charlotte her drink. MONROE (CONT’D): Good girl. Don’t let little Mr. PhD manipulate you. You’re a strong woman who doesn’t take shit from anyone. Come on. CHARLOTTE: Yeah. Uh-huh. He whispers in her ear. MONROE: You’re a strong beautiful woman. With the sexiest ass in San Francisco and long legs. CHARLOTTE: Yeah? MONROE: Look at you. What else could I possibly want? This works. Charlotte lets Monroe kiss her neck. CHARLOTTE: She better not be fucking pregnant. I had kids way too early - I know. MONROE: Sh-sh-shut up. CHARLOTTE: Her boobs are growing like crazy. Minnie looks down at her chest, somewhat pleased. MONROE: Listen to me- this is all in your head CHARLOTTE: Is it? MONROE: YES! She softens. CHARLOTTE; I guess it is a little crazy. Pascal just said - MONROE: Shhh. I don’t want to even hear his name. He’s jealous of what we have. Hey- CHARLOTTE: Yeah? MONROE: I’ll show you whose tits I’m lookin’ at. Minnie watches as he caresses her breasts, and kisses her passionately. Charlotte giggles. MINNIE (V.O.): I hate Monroe. He seems really gay and kind of washed out. — The Diary of a Teenage Girl (2015), written by Marielle Heller, based on the graphic novel by Phoebe Gloeckner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9LNsSjnqBM Trivia: Alexander Skarsgård's father, Stellan Skarsgård, starred in the Swedish film “Anita“ (1973), also known as "Anita - ur en tonÃ¥rsflickas dagbok", which translates as "Anita: From a teenage girl's diary". Dialogue On Dialogue: We know, Minnie knows, Monroe knows - though he denies having slept with Minnie. He betrayed Charlotte with her minor daughter and uses compliments to get out of this situation. His denial changes Minnie‘s feelings for him, for a few scenes at least where she comes back to him. But it‘s a step on her way to independency.

Movie – Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) Written by Monty Python Youtube - https://youtu.be/dhRUe-gz690 King Arthur: You fight with the strength of many men Sir Knight. [the Black Knight doesn't respond] King Arthur: I am Arthur, King of the Britons. [no response] King Arthur: I seek the finest and the bravest knights in the land to join me in my court at Camelot. [no response] King Arthur: You have proved yourself worthy. Will you join me? [no response] King Arthur: You make me sad. So be it. Come, Patsy! Black Knight: None shall pass. King Arthur: What? Black Knight: None shall pass! King Arthur: I have no quarrel with you good Sir Knight. But I must cross this bridge. Black Knight: Then you shall die. King Arthur: I command you, as King of the Britons, to stand aside! Black Knight: I move for no man. King Arthur: So be it! [they fight, Arthur cuts off Black Knight's left arm] King Arthur: Now, stand aside, worthy adversary! Black Knight: 'Tis but a scratch! King Arthur: A scratch? Your arm's off! Black Knight: No, it isn't! King Arthur: Well, what's that then? King Arthur: I've had worse. King Arthur: You liar! Black Knight: Come on, you pansy! [they fight again. Arthur cuts off the Knight's right arm] King Arthur: Victory is mine! [kneels to pray] King Arthur: We thank thee, Lord, that in thy mercy - [cut off by the Knight kicking him] Black Knight: Come on, then. King Arthur: What? Black Knight: Have at you! King Arthur: You are indeed brave Sir Knight, but the fight is mine! Black Knight: Oh, had enough, eh? King Arthur: Look, you stupid bastard. You've got no arms left! Black Knight: Yes I have. King Arthur: Look! Black Knight: It's just a flesh wound. [Knight starts kicking Arthur] King Arthur: Look, stop that. Black Knight: Chicken… chicken. King Arthur: Look, I’ll have your leg. Right! [Arthur cuts off the Knight’s right leg] Black Knight: Right, I'll do you for that! King Arthur: You'll what? Black Knight: Come here! King Arthur: What are you gonna do, bleed on me? Black Knight: I'm invincible! King Arthur: You're a loony. Black Knight: The Black Knight always triumphs. Have at you. Come on then. [Arthur cuts off the left leg, the Knight is now immobile on the ground] Black Knight: Alright, we’ll call it a draw. King Arthur: Come Patsy. Black Knight: Oh, oh I see…running away, eh? You yellow bastards, come back here and take what’s coming to you. I’ll bite your legs off. Comment - This classic scene of denial taken to the nth degree as can only be done by Monty Python.
