Great Gatsby Movie Starters
Feel free to change as needed!
“Always try and see the best in people.”
“I’m inclined to reserve all judgments.”
“Back then, all of us drank too much.”
“When I came back from [Location], I was disgusted. Disgusted with everyone, and everything.”
“I bought a dozen books on credit, banking, and investments.”
“Life is something you dominate at–If you’re any good!”
“Would you like to hear a family secret?”
“Can we talk about something else? Anything! You’re making me feel uncivilized!”
“Civilization is going to pieces!”
“You don’t know? Why, I thought everyone did!”
“I love seeing you at my table, [Name].”
“You remind me of a rose–An absolute rose!”
“It’s just… Well you see, I think everything’s terrible anyhow. I’ve been everywhere, and seen everything, and done everything. I’ve had a very bad time.”
“I hope she’ll be a fool. That’s the best thing a girl in this world can be… A beautiful little fool.”
“All the bright, precious things fade so fast, and they don’t come back.”
“I don’t want to talk about this.”
“Are you gonna sit on the sideline and watch, or do you wanna play ball?”
“I have been drunk just twice in my life, and the second time was that afternoon.”
“Alone and a little embarrassed, I decided to get roaring drunk.”
“I thought I might see you here.”
“I love large parties, they’re so intimate. Small parties, there isn’t any privacy.”
“If there’s anything you want, just ask for it.”
“I’ve just heard the most shocking thing. Simply amazing!”
“Oh, [Name], I’m sorry. I swore I wouldn’t tell!”
“I realized I knew nothing about [Name] at all.”
“What is your opinion of me, anyhow?”
“I didn’t want you to think that I was some nobody.”
“You see, I’m going to make a very big request of you today.”
“I remember feeling torn. Was it the right thing to do?”
“No, it’s too late. I must go to bed.”
“It’s a favor, [Name], just a favor.”
“I can’t wait all day. I’m leaving!”
“I can’t believe it! Did you ransack a greenhouse?”
“I’m certainly glad to see you again.”
“I’ll have someone come repair this immediately.”
“Looking over my story so far, I’m reminded that I was guarding other people’s secrets.”
“A-hem! It’s stopped raining!”
“I’ve never seen such beautiful shirts before.”
“I wish I’d done everything on earth with you.”
“All my life… I wish it could always be like this.”
“Where did the money come from?”
“Is all of this made entirely from your own imagination?”
“If anything’s not to your liking, I’ll change it.”
“[Name], you can’t repeat the past.”
“Can’t repeat the past…? Why of course you can!”
“You’re wrong about the past, [Name]. You’re wrong.”
“I changed my mind, you brute.”
“I suppose the newest thing is to sit back and let Mr. Nobody from Nowhere make love to your wife!”
“You never loved me? Not even once?”
“I just remembered. Today is my birthday.”
“Something ought to be done about a villain like that.”
“I’ve had enough of everyone.”
“How could you? How could you do that? What’s wrong with you? You’re nothing but a coward!”
“Let me take care of you. It will be alright.”
“I have to go. I have work.”
“They’re a rotten crowd. You’re worth the whole damn bunch put together.”
“I remember that day as an endless stream of news reporters and photographers.”
“Get out of here, go on! Get the hell out of here!”
“My once golden, shimmering mirage now made me sick.”
“It eluded us then, but that’s no matter now. Tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther, and one fine morning…”
“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
