Finding Forrester

Jamal: Women will sleep with you if you write a book?

Forrester: Women will sleep with you if you write a bad book.

Forrester: What you write in this apartment stays in this apartment.

Forrester: The key to a woman's heart is an unexpected gift at an unexpected time.

Jamal: I came back to see, if you could help me out with my writing.

Forrester: Here's one: 5,000 words on why you'll stay the fuck out of my home.

Forrester: In some cultures it's good luck to be wearing something inside-out.

Jamal: And you believe that?

Forrester: No, but it's like praying: what do you risk?

Forrester: No thinking - that comes later. You must write your first draft with your heart. You rewrite with your head. The first key to writing is... to write, not to think!

Jamal: I'll take poor assumptions for $800, Alex

Jamal: Man, fuck you William. You wanna know what the real bullshit is? How about you let me take it on this one cause you're too damn scared to walk out that door and do something for somebody else. You're too damn scared, man! That's the only damn reason.

Forrester: You don't know shit about reason; reasons why some of us live and why some of us don't! Well, fortunately for you you have decades to figure that out.

Jamal: Yeah, and what's the reason in having a file cabinet full of writing and keeping the shit locked so nobody can read it? What is that man? I'm through with this shit.

Forrester: I have an homeland that I have not seen for too long.

Jamal: O, you mean Ireland?

Forrester: Scotland, for God's sakes!

Jamal: I am messing with you, man!
