the beach

i recently watched the de caprio starrer flick " the beach "

these r a few lines i liked.

"my name is richard.
so wat else do you need to know?
stuff about my family or where im frm ?
none of that matters .
not once you cross the ocean and cut youself loose.
looking for something more beautiful , something more exiting.
and yes i admit, something more dangerous.
So after 18 hours in the back of an airplane.
3 dumb movies 2 plastic meals 6 beers and absolutely no sleep,
finally touchdown in bangkok."

'hey you lookin for somwhere to stay?'
'no. i'll be fine.'
'i'll find my own place thanx.'

"and this s it bangkok.
good times city.
gateway to south east asia.
where dollars and deustchmarks get turned into counterfeit watches and genuine scars.
this is where the hungry come to feed."

'wanna drink snake blood?'
'wait a minute did you say snake blood?'
'yeah.'
'no thanx.'
'what is wrong with snake blood?'
'i...just dont like the idea.'
'well maybe you are scared, afraid of something new?'
'no. I just dont like the idea.'
'haha. like every tourist you are all you say. just like america.'

"so never refuse an invitation.
never resist the unfamiliar."

(drinks snake blood)

"never fail to be polite."

'gentlemen that was excellent.'

"and never outstay your welcome.
Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience,
and if it hurts, its probably worth it."

another scene.


"when you develop an infatuation for someone,
you always find a reason to believe that this is exactly the person for you.
it doesnt have to be a good reason.
taking photographs of the night sky for example.
now in the long run thats just the kind of dumb irritating habit that would cause you to split up.
but in the haze of infatuation, its just what you have been searching for all these years."
