Celebrate the quotables, those iconic Hollywood one-liners that live on in the culture long after the movie's over. Lines that shatter us: "I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender, I coulda been somebody â¦" Crack us up: "I'll have what she's having." Creep us out: "We all go a little mad sometimes." Even impart valuable life lessons: "Always do the right thing." Starting with The Jazz Singer's prophetic "You ain't heard nothing yet," "You Talkin' to Me?" draws on a fascinating wealth of interviews, archival sleuthing, and behind-the-scenes details to tell the stories of hundreds of iconic movie lines-including how it took sixty exhausting takes before Jack Nicholson adlibbed that unforgettable "Here's Johnny!" Obsessive, joyous to read, and packed with film stills, sidebars, lists, and other fun detours, it's an irresistible book for every movie lover.
