Quotables #78: May Flowers
With spring in full bloom, we are taking a look at some film flora. More specifically, each of the following quotes or snippets of dialogue are taken from films with names of flowers or the word "flowers" in their titles. Your job is to guess what movies they're from.

Woman: I'm really nervous that you're gonna hate me soon. You're gonna find stuff out about me, and you're gonna hate me.
Man: No. Like what? What do you mean?
Woman: You have so much - so many good things. And you seem so together. You're a police officer, and you seem so straight and put together - without any problems.
Man: I lost my gun today.
Woman: What?
Man: I lost my gun today when I left you, and I'm the laughingstock of a lot of people. I wanted to tell you. I wanted you to know, and it's on my mind. And it makes me look like a fool. And I feel like a fool. And you asked that we should say things - that we should say what we're thinking and not lie about things. Well, I can tell you that, this - I lost my gun today, and I am not a good cop. And I'm looked down at. And I know that. And I'm scared that once you find that out you may not like me.
Woman: Jim. That - that was so...
Man: I'm sorry.
Woman: ...great. What you just said.
Movie 1:
Woman: You should have let me keep my old LaSalle. It never would've behaved this way, and you know it.
Man: Mama, cars don't behave. They are behaved upon. Fact is you demolished that Chrysler all by yourself.
Woman: Say what you want. I know the truth.
Man: The truth is you just cost the insurance company $2,700. You're a terrible risk. Nobody's gonna want to issue you a policy after this.
Woman: You're just saying that to be hateful!
Man: Okay, I am. I'm makin' it all up. Look out there in the driveway! Every insurance company in America is out there, waving their fountain pen, trying to get you to sign up!
Movie 2:
Man: So, the judge thinks we should offer your client a new plea agreement. Apparently she thinks the community would be better served without this trial.
Woman: How do you feel about it, personally?
Man: My job is to represent the interest of the people, make an effort to be objective.
Woman: Hmm. I ask because I know you're a churchgoer. Now you're sent to prosecute a man of God.
Man: Your priest broke the law, and a young girl is dead. If he's a man of God, then personally I think he's even more subject to the laws of moral behavior and punishment. If it were up to me, he'd get no deal at all.
Woman: What about forgiveness and compassion? Isn't that part of your creed, or does that just get in the way of your work?
Man: If you have compassion for your client, counselor, you'll persuade him to accept this: Charges reduced to reckless endangerment, 12 months in a county jail, reducible to 6 plus probation if he can stay out of trouble. Somehow I expect he can manage that, but please understand me... if he refuses, I will seek the maximum.
Movie 3:
Girl: Everybody asks why I started at the end and worked back to the beginning. The reason is simple: I couldn't understand the beginning until I had reached the end. There were too many pieces of the puzzle missing, too much you would never tell. I could sell these things. People want to buy them, but I'd set all this on fire first. She'd like that. That's what she would do. She'd make it just to burn it. I couldn't afford this one, but the beginning deserves something special. But how do I show that nothing, not a taste, not a smell, not even the color of the sky, has ever been as clear and sharp as it was when I belonged to her. I don't know how to express the being with someone so dangerous is the last time I felt safe.
Movie 4:
Man #1: Tom Baxter's come down off the screen. and he's running around New Jersey! Nobody knows how it happened, but he's done it.
Man #2: How can he do that? It's not physically possible!
Man #1: In New Jersey, anything can happen.
