Driving Lessons;

I just finished watching this movie on Encore, and I found it hilarious. Well, not all the time, but it was still a good movie. I missed the first seven or so minutes, but I didn't miss much, I think.... Something that personally bugged me, but was incredibly important to the plot, was that... a ton of things went back to God. Like Ben's father is a priest, his mother is working on a church play... those didn't bug me, but it gives you a bit of an idea...

It stars Rupert Grint (Ben) and Julie Walters (Ms. Evie Walton) (Ron and Mrs. Weasley, for you Harry Potter fans)
PG-13

[My personal favorite]
Sarah (Ben's crush): You're very angry, aren't you? Don't be. You're still God's gift. Every day God gives us is a gift. That's why we call it the present.
Ben: Fuck off, Sarah.

Evie Walton: Explain please the meaning of "He is not in his room!"

Laura Marshall (Ben's mother): Where the hell have you been? It's six o' clock.
Ben: I got held up.
Laura: Got held up? We had a driving lesson at four. You should've let me know.
Ben: There was nowhere to call from, if I had a mobile--
Laura: Mobiles give you cancer!

Laura: You may have noticed that Mr. Fincham has started dressing in my clothes. We must assume that this is part of his recovery.

Evie: To wit, I leave you with this quote penned by my dear friend, William Shakespeare: "When the shit hits the fan... get a tent."

Evie: I will not be bullied, even by an emotional cripple!
[She said this to Ben, which made it even more hilarious]

Laura: The doctor said the only reason I survived is because I drive an economy car. God truly is a friend to the thrifty.

Evie: Don't feel guilty. Guilt is a wicked ghost.

Evie: Don't hurry your heart. That was my mistake.
