Movie: The curious case of Benjamin Button (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button)

Returning home is a funny thing: the familiar pictures, the sounds, the smells... the only thing that has changed is you.

I sold the summer house on lake Pontchartrain. I've sold "Button's Buttons". I sold my father's sailboat. I put it all into a savings account so that you and mother. I left before you could remember me. I left only what was on me.

Sometimes we are on the road to trouble and just don't know it.
Because of the accident of their essence, but there's nothing we can do about it.

You don't understand what I'm saying. The Hummingbird is not just another kind of bird. Heart rate is 1,200 beats per minute. Their wings beat 80 times a second. If you force them to stop waving wings, they would be dead in less than 10 seconds. This is no ordinary bird, it's a frikkin ' miracle! They slowed down their wings with moving pictures, and you know what they saw? Their wingtips are doing... You know what the sign "8" in mathematics? Infinity!

- Benjamin, when you came, you were no bigger than a bollard with one foot in the grave. Now... either I'm a hell of a lot drunk, or you've grown. What's your secret?
- Well, captain... you drink too much.

- Do you know what today is?
- Sunday.
- You know what that means? This means that yesterday I got piss-drunk.
- You're drunk every night.

- You know turkeys aren't really birds?
- Why are you telling me this?
- They are of the pheasant family. They can hardly fly. Sad, isn't it? Birds that can't fly.
- Like birds that can't fly. They are so delicious.

You know, I don't like birthdays and I don't like cake. And death was a frequent visitor here. People came and went. Always know when someone left us. These days, the house was quiet. It was a wonderful place to grow up.

- Mom, how long have I got?
- Just be thankful for what you have. You've lived longer than expected.

You are as ugly as an old pot. But you're still a child of God.

They go in the opposite direction! I did it that way so that perhaps the boys that we lost in the war might stand and come home again. In their homes, to their work, to have children, to live long, full lives. Perhaps, my own son ever again return home. I'm sorry if I offended anybody. Hope you enjoy my clock.

If we have an affair, you must not look at me during the day. And we always parted before dawn. And never confess love. These are the rules.

I've been waiting for. You know, I thought that would do something to change the circumstances. If I could do anything... It's a waste of time, did not return.

When I was 19, I was trying to become the first woman to swim the English channel. But you know, that day was so strong that with every stroke forward, I was thrown two ago. I was in the water for 32 hours. And when I was two miles from Calais, it was raining. I couldn't go any further and stopped. Just stopped. Everyone asked me, will I try again. But I didn't. After that I wasn't doing anything with my life.
