What a great movie
I was thinking about that scene in Harold & Maude where she tells him she has taken a fatal oversdose and he screams at her “but I love you!” And she says “Oh, Harold… That’s *wonderful*. Go and love some more.”
So I went to the memorable quotes page for the movie looking up the exact quote and each bit of dialogue was just so funny:
Psychiatrist: Tell me, Harold, how many of these, eh, *suicides* have you performed?
Harold: An accurate number would be difficult to gauge.
Psychiatrist: Well, just give me a rough estimate.
Harold: A rough estimate? I’d say fifteen.
Psychiatrist: Fifteen?
Harold: That’s a rough estimate.
Psychiatrist: Were they all done for your mother’s benefit?
Harold: No. No, I would not say “benefit.”
Maude: You know, at one time, I used to break into pet shops to liberate the canaries. But I decided that was an idea way before its time. Zoos are full, prisons are overflowing… oh my, how the world still dearly loves a cage.
Priest: I would be remiss in my duty if I did not tell you that the idea of intercourse - the act of your firm, young body… comingling with… withered flesh… sagging breasts… and flabby b-b-buttocks… makes me want… to vomit.
Harold: Maude?
Maude: Yeah?
Harold: [pulls a ring from his pocket] Here.
Maude: [gasping] A gift!
Maude: [reading the engraving] “Harold loves Maude”
Maude: [looking up at him] And Maude loves Harold. This is the nicest gift I’ve received in years.
[she throws the ring into the lake, to Harold's surprise]
Maude: So I’ll always know where it is.
