I just watched _The Third Man_ in full for the first time

I like a good Western. That’s what I like about them, sir. You can pick them up and put them down anytime.

i’ve got them muddled

Vienna doesn't really look any worse than a lot of other European cities. Bombed about a bit.

all's well that ends well! ladies and gentlemen, i have much pleasure in introducing mr. holly martins, from the other side.

He's only a scribbler with too much drink in him. Take Mr. Holly home.

That's Mr Martins' little joke, of course. We all know perfectly well Zane Grey wrote what we call "westerns."

It wasn't for German gin.

We just watched an episode of Richard Ayoade's Travel Man where they do The Third Man tour and are underwhelmed. Hats off to whoever had the idea to turn the actual sewer system into a tourist trap.

I am annoyed that's not an actual quote from the film.

iirc there is a cut and change of location between the two halves of this line, implying payne has been enthusing cheerfully about westerns for an entire jeep ride

Have you, Sergeant? Author? Martins? Thank you, Sergeant.
☝🏻😗

lolllll

i can't very well introduce you to everybody.

Truly delightful character, responsible for one of the most clever tricks in cinema.

no! a major? did you really?

Mr. Crabbin?

Once when I was hard up I sold some tyres on the black market.

Even at the end his thoughts were of you.

What's the use of another post-mortem?

On, pinning things on girls now!

Hilda!
Ja?
Führen Sie den Herrn herein!

some ice for mr. martins!

Am I wrong in thinking that for some movies, excessive quoting drains the life from them, but not this one?

By some I mean most.

I watched this with my 12 yo and we got to the last scene where the leaves are falling and Anna walks by Holly without acknowledging him and I started laughing…my kid looked at me strangely and I told him he’d understand when he’s older

you found out my little secret. a man must live.

Damn that scene is so sad!!!!

sometimes he said i laughed too much
