I'm remembering a movie quote, but I can't figure out what it's from. Can the collective genius that is LRC solve my problem?
The quote is a father telling his son, basically, to treat all women like princesses, because they are. The scene is, if I remember correctly, either one of the two settings:
1) dying father lying in bed, his son (still child age) is standing over him
or
2) father (not sure if he's dying or not) tucking the child age son into bed
Help, LRC!
There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you." I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherf***er before you popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice. Now I'm thinkin': it could mean you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. .45 here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could be you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin, Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd.
BUMP for the late-night crowd.
this is funny, since i just saw this movie and thought a lot about this scene. Denzel Washington says it in "John Q."
The part about this scene that I don't like is that it's all touching and nice, then denzel gives him the advice to, "sell out sometimes so you can make money" or something along those lines.
