Bull Durham's "I Believe In..." speech

[sparkyinbath]

[drjcs3]

If only I could remember MY list that easily. Always made me envious.

[SueKym]

no sound!

[moky78]

Is always the best!

[ashleydalton51]

I Love Kevin Costner!!! he is sooo sexxxy!!

[4AutismAwareness]

<3



[sneak108]

This about sums it up :) lol

[TheNuclearTurkey]

What about the Psych speech: I believe in fresh tennis balls, the word "dabble", Darren Sproles, various tennis balls, and so on.

[dror2311]

Oh my...

[doomsy]

HIGH FIBER!

[trezuraat]

Entire script by Shelton, over about 6 weeks according to his commentary on the 2008 dvd "collectors" release. Costner, in a separate commentary said he felt his performance was less than satisfactory. The viewers (myself included) and Ron loved it, however. It remains one of, if not the most memorable scene of the film...

[waiting4smtin]

Kevin Costner is the man.

[Geert365]

Tim Robins stole the scene.

[tedwilli9]

I always found it weird when he says Lee Harvey acted alone, considering he was in JFK, disputing that very idea.

[027220]

@tedwilli9 Ditto.

[generalgeewhiz]

the DH IS EVIL!!!!!!!

[RachaelNicolexD]

so for my english class we have an assignment where we have to make an i believe speech kind of this like. but when the teacher quoted this quote on the paper there were 3 dots and then it continued. i wasn't expecting cock and pussy to be those 3 dots..... but that was badass

[OrbitProductionsLmtd]

@RachaelNicolexD

[ridebmx162793]

Wats this movie called

[IkeMikeAndMustard]

@devilman201 bull durham

[generalgeewhiz]

this is one of the best movies ever. such a classic.

[hoverkingjr]

HOW DID THIS BECOME A POETIC FORMAT???

[Nadsdad72]

@hoverkingjr

It is in the prosaic, first-person narrative vein of Walt Whitman...whom--if you've paid much attention to the film--figures particularly prominently in the personal life, consciousness, and (one must assume) the teaching of Annie (Susan Sarandan), a junior college English professor.

[thebageldoctor]

:I my teacher told me to look up this scene (she aperently hasnt seen it) for a poem im working on...

[jimi2142]

can anybody get sound up on this??

[azureisland]

I would love to know who actually wrote that speech, was it Ron Shelton? Kurt Russell? Kevin Costner? A combination? Someone else?

[Dreamergirl818]

I love this speech. Its perfect!

[intestinomedicino]

His character in this movie believed that Oswald acted alone yet Oliver Stone made him try to probe quite the opposite in JFK.

[KilldozerRocks]

@intestinomedicino I noticed that too.

[hadesoftheunderworld]

@moviehypno23 , not susan sarandon. In Durham's speech he mentions an American writer called Susan Sontag. Susan Sontag was an anti-white scumbag.

[moviehypno23]

@hadesoftheunderworld Oh I see, what kinda anti-white shit has she written? I've never heard of her

[cutekitten718]

@hadesoftheunderworld "Mozart, Pascal, Boolean algebra, Shakespeare, parliamentary government, baroque churches, Newton, the emancipation of women, Kant, Balanchine ballets, et al. don't redeem what this particular civilization has wrought upon the world. The white race is the cancer of human history."

she couldnt be more correct.

[hadesoftheunderworld]

@cutekitten718 , spoken like a true racist, an anti-white racist. The liberal extremists allow that type of racist bigotry, so don't worry, you'll not be in trouble.

[trezuraat]

@cutekitten718

600 years ago it was the asian race. 900 years ago it was the arabs.

Lighten up, Frances. Let me enjoy my time. *Lights a cigar*

[joejoe4589]

@moviehypno23 crash mentions her in the speech

[hurricanejbb]

One of the best philosophical speeches in a movie, ever.

[tucker718]

Kinda on a baseball kick! Best speech EVER done in a movie!

[charliescigar]

I am pretty sure jack ruby snuffed out Oswald lickety split for a reason which leads me to believe otherwise. You are spot on about the squeeze box though.

[MarkArandjus]

That's the kind of speech a guy probably practices in front of a mirror many times to sound cool though :D

[wasteland70]

@MarkArandjus I do!!!!

[yeahmedude]

I second his amendment proposal.

[missinformation916]

One of the best baseball movies ever made...and one of the best scenes....

[Mariek9]

I would love his soft kisses for days.

[jardinero79]

HALLELLUYAH!!!

[KevServo]

After Mrs. Robinson, Annie Savoy was the original cougar. How sexy was Susan Sarandon in this thing?

[KilldozerRocks]

@KevServo Not bad for 42 years old.

[eklecticman]

Awesome! "After 12 years in the minor leagues, I don't try out." is a great setup for a schooling in realness "I'm not interested in a woman that is interested in... that boy" is an ideal close, too. Great scene.

[brifitz1980]

I love that he said eh believes that Oswald acted alone, when just a few years later Costner went on to star in the film JFK as the head conspiracy theorist trying to prove that Oswald was just a patsy.

[emrrbv]

@brifitz1980

that's the movies. but believe me, with 98% certainty or more, oswald did it alone.

can u imagine being inside a movie theatre eating popcorn & 40 cops come pouring in there & spread eagle oswald & he pistols whips 1, punches another ! in the nose, & screams "its all over now. i am not resisting arrest. police brutatily . " does this sound like the words & actions of an innocent man? why do u have a gun on u? he said "dont u know every good.ol' boy in texas has to have his gun?"

[brifitz1980]

@emrrbv I believe that Oswald acted alone. I just found it funny that Costner played a character who feels so strongly that Oswald acted alone he sees fit to mention in a speech about life only 2 years before playing the head conspiracy nut in a movie that has done more to convince the public that JFK was the victim of a conspiracy.

[dzanier]

Do you believe Oswald acted alone? Jim Garrison, the man Kevin Costner portrayed, was not a nut.

[WiseGuy5674]

@dzanier ..History Channel already proved beyond a doubt though digitally entering the Zappruder film and tracking the trajectory of the rounds that Oswald was the only shooter..he was an expert shot in the Marines with the same style rifle; bolt action.. they have his score book. But as far as acting alone?...Na..he was involved with some shady people..he went to that theater to meet with his handler, but he got double crossed. 100 cops respond because a man didn't pay his 50 cent ticket.

[penguinmama88]

perfect!!!! quantam physics in the matters of the heart... xo

[Ausualskeptic]

ooooooh my.............

[carrie0123210]

Oswald didn't act alone! If he was he shotter at all! Wonder if we'll ever really know!

[catseyeskat]

it's not the point!!!

[colombiannoo]

"I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone" ironic when u consider Kevin Costner played JFK conspiracy lawyer Jim Garrison in Oliver Stone's movie years later

[jkoff76]

Did you come up with that all by yourself??

[colombiannoo]

hahaha i can't respond to that because your username is way too appropriate already

[catseyeskat]

It's not the point!

[iiceman14]

lol she just creamed her pants

[PiperBabe728]

she totally did too!

[hr2trl]

@iiceman14 .... I think she was wearing a skirt

[iiceman14]

figure of speech

[Seana1Ford]

Hahaha I love Kevin :) He's great.

[tallthingy923]

oh my is right

[mmkattt]

by far the best movie ever!!!

[LBjim]

Oh Hell Yes!!!

[tobeoncloud9]

It's a classic!

[nickjm007]

Ew.

[MRPICOBOULEVARD]

i believe in the pussy too.

[GoletanGuy]

Long live baseball.

[PiperBabe728]

this is the best speech ever made in a film.

[crazyredlion4500]

Hey Anne whats all this molecule stuff? LOL!

[eezysqueezy]

I believe an afternoon with Susan Sarandon could change my religious convictions.

[greenh00d]

I believe CRASH is great...like the speech

[MegsBB48]

Oh i love Crash!

[dizy1111]

lol.

[AntiNaruxHina]

lol!

[billium1999]

The world according to Crash. Beautiful, beautiful moment from one of the great sports movies of all time.

"I'm not interested in a woman who's interested in that boy...Good night."

[bartolemeo]

That is a brilliant exit.

[MRPICOBOULEVARD]

i believe in the pussy also!

[kevlarbrakes]

crash crash

[kevlarbrakes]

long kiss last 3 days wos gereat

kissed must be so

[mapleva]

I remember when he got into the bar room fight and Crash, after being decked said "don't hit with your pitching hand" is that seen on "you tube" anywhere?

[sundin2345]

"....i believe that the novels of susan sautager are self-indulgent, overrated crap."

[TheDrawbridge]

sontag...

[USNARox2008]

CRAP!

[generalbullmoose]

I really DO believe there should be a Constitutional amendment outlawing astro-turf and the designated hitter!

[iiluvdoublem]

I remember this part of the movie very well. I love this movie and Kevin. But don't get me wrong Tim Robbins and Susan are great. Kevin just better.

[JohnnyDenver2008]

I believe Oswald was the lone shooter lol

[dblue4l1fe]
