"Anything Else" ("Todo lo demás" en castellano) es el título original de una película de Woody Allen estrenada en 2003. Aunque para la crítica no es ni de lejos de las mejores películas del director neoyorquino tengo que reconocer que a mi me encantó, quizás motivado por el aburrimiento del largo viaje en autobús de vuelta a casa. Siempre que puedo veo las películas en inglés, no solo para practicar, sino porque soy de los que cree que las películas ganan más en versión original. Por eso la colección de citas que aparece a continuación están en inglés. Por eso, y porque no encontré todas las que quería poner en español...
- "What you don't know, won't hurt you, it'll kill you. Like if they tell you you're going to shower but they turn out not to be showers."
- "I feel like committing suicide, but I've got so many problems, that wouldn't solve them all."
- "Since the beginning of time people have been, you know, frightened and, and unhappy, and they're scared of death, and they're scared of getting old, and there's always been priests around, and shamans, and now shrinks, to tell 'em, "Look, I know you're frightened, but I can help you. Of course, it is going to cost you a few bucks..." But they *can't* help you, Falk, because life is what it is."
- "Yoy said it yourself, you're afraid to sleep alone. That's the whole story. You surround yourself with this farrage of babysitters, this loving-disabled little sex kitten who's driving you crazy, the Jew manager, you know? And let me tell you I am of the Hebrew pursuassion, but the guy that handles you is a member of one of the lost tribes of Israel that should have remained lost. And you got this shrink who, like God, never speaks, and like God, is dead. There's nothing wrong with being afraid. We were meant to be afraid. That's why you gotta build a survival kit!"
- "I've had a crush on you since we met. Couldn't you tell, the way I was ignoring you?
- Well, there was something compelling about your apathy."
- "She's so sexy. Look at her body language. All verbs!"
- "I broke up with this girl, and they put me with a psychiatrist who said, "Why did you get so depressed, and do all those things you did?" I said, "I wanted this girl and she left me." And he said, "Well, we have to look into that." And I said, "There's nothing to look into. I wanted her and she left me." And he said, "Well, why are you feeling so intense?" And I said, "Cause I want the girl." And he said, "What's underneath it?" And I said, "Nothing." He said, "I'll have to give you medication." I said, "I don't want medication. I want the girl." And he said, "We have to work this through." So, at that point, I took a fire extinguisher from the casement and struck him across the back of his neck."
- "I was just saying how strange life is, how it's full of inexplicable mystery.
- Well, you know, it's like anything else."
