My Favorite Movie Quotes, Volume 22

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

Without exaggeration, there were probably fifty quotes I could have used from Forgetting Sarah Marshall (including just about everything that came out of Russell Brand's mouth - our introduction to him, where he's searching desperately for a lost flip-flop, is priceless). I chose this one because it's the point where Peter validates what we've been thinking about Aldous Snow for most of the movie - he may be a conceited jerk who screws anything that moves without regard for anyone else's feelings, but he's also one of the coolest guys you could ever hope to meet.

Aldous Snow: Actually, Peter, I wanted to tell you, I was listening to Sarah's iPod the other day, and amidst the interminable dross that's on that thing, I found one track that I quite liked. So I checked what it was, and it was actually one of yours, and it kind of reminded me of a dark, gothic Neil Diamond. It's great.

Peter Bretter: That's, like, exactly what I'm going for.

Aldous Snow
: Right, yeah.

Peter Bretter
: [clearly disappointed] Fuck you're cool! It's so hard to say, because, like, I hate you in so many ways.
