Internet. Serious Business.

Been a while since I watched this movie, but at a good old fashioned night at the bar (GO MICHIGAN STATE! WOOT!) one of my friends told me that I said to some girl “You know that guy that can get any girl? I’m him. On Crack.”

So…obviously that immediately make me realize where i picked that up from and figured I’d look at some of the quotes from Thank You For Smoking today for a few laughs. First I went to Youtube to see if there were any solid lists, but was unable to find what I was looking for. I did, however realize that several people have posted the entire movie there for our viewing pleasure if you have never seen it. I highly recommend it. One of the best movies I have ever seen.

Brief synopsis of Thank You For Smoking:

It is a story about a guy named Nick Naylor who is a spokesman for Big Tobacco. He is a top notch bullshitter, and can out debate practically anyone. You travel with him as he goes around the country staying at hotels talking in front of Congress in Washington D.C., convincing the Marlboro Man to take a bribe, etc. Hilarity ensues throughout.

Here is Part 1 of the movie on Youtube. It should show the next parts here, but just go to this link and watch one of these playlists if it does not.

And now for some quotes…I’ll just list a few of my favorites, but a comprehensive list of Nick Naylor Quotes can be found on IMDb here.

Nick Naylor: Right there, looking into Joey’s eyes, it all came back in a rush. Why I do what I do. Defending the defenseless, protecting the disenfranchised corporations that have been abandoned by their very own consumers: the logger, the sweatshop foreman, the oil driller, the land mine developer, the baby seal poacher…
Polly Bailey: Baby seal poacher?
Bobby Jay Bliss: Even *I* think that’s kind of cruel.

Nick Naylor: That’s the beauty of argument, if you argue correctly, you’re never wrong.
