I thought the following two quotes were the most memorable in BORN KILLERS (aka PIGGY BANKS, which would have been a better title for this film, even apart from its use in the poignant father-sons sharing context which brought to mind Polonius' advice to Laertes in HAMLET, but which is truncated to meaninglessness in the "memorable quotes" section here):
* * * QUOTE #1) Serial Killer John Vanderslip (his voice-over as he roams a store looking for masking tape--he comes back to Gertie's house with a roll of duct tape, of which she already had a shelf full, qualifying for inclusion in the movie "goofs" category): I'd ended hundreds of--I guess you'd say--human lives, and what good did it do? I wasn't rich, and I wasn't satisfied. Either there was some invisible purpose to my life, or there wasn't. I needed to find out if 'thinning the herd' was part of it, or if I could stop if I had an endless supply of cash. So I would put God to the test." (John then buys a lottery ticket--another goof, because this is supposed to be taking place, and actually is being filmed, in Salt Lake City, UT, and they don't sell lottery tickets there.)
* * * QUOTE #2) John (after downing the fatally poisoned shot of Irish Creme his half-sister\lover Gertie has come back from the kitchen with): No more for me, please.
Gertie: That one should do you.
* * * I don't want to clutter the "memorable quotes" section with TWO of my own, so please vote "yes" for #1 or "no" for #2. Thank you. Voting ends one year from today (March 10, 2010).
