*4. [Man, to a woman who has just apologized for having cried while serving in a professional role] But you're a lover, [character's name omitted], you are a lover of things and of people, so you took up work where you could get at as many of them as possible … and it just turned out that that are too many of them, and too much that moves you. But damn it, be glad it turned out you’re not reasonable and sensible. Have all the gratitude you can that you're capable of embarrassment and joy and are a marathon crier!

Three more quotes from same movie --

*4a.[Man who walked off his job five months earlier and has been unemployed ever since]: Five months ago, I was on the subway, on my way to work … I was sitting on the express, same as any morning, looking out the window, watching the local stops go by in the dark, with an empty head and my arms folded … not feeling great, not feeling rotten … just … not feeling. And for a minute, I … I couldn't remember … I didn't know, unless I really concentrated, whether it was a Tuesday, or a Thursday, or … for a moment, it could have been any day. I gotta know what day it is! I gotta know what's the name of the game, and what the rules are, without anyone else telling me! You gotta own your own days, and name 'em! Each one of 'em! Every one of 'em! Or else, the years go right by, and none of them belong to you.

*4b. [A man and a boy are in a discussion with another man (named Leo) about what makes things funny.]
[Boy]: I can imitate the voice of Alexander Hamilton. I do Alexander Hamilton, and [man's name omitted] does a terrific Thomas Jefferson. We got the voices just right.
[The man and the boy continue speaking in their normal voices]
[Man]: Hi, Alex, how're you doing?
[Boy]: Fine. Say, Tom, you should have been in Congress today.
[Leo]: This is ridiculous! You can't do an imitation of Alexander Hamilton, nobody knows what he sounds like!
[Boy]: That's the funny part.
[Man]: You missed the funny part, Leo.

*4c. [Woman named Sandra(the same woman referenced in the first quote)]: I don't have the vaguest idea who I am.
[Man]: It's just that there are all these Sandras running around whom you've never met before, and it's confusing, at first, fantastic! But damn it, isn't it great to find out how many Sandras there are? It's like those little cars in the circus, you know? This tiny red car comes out, hardly big enough for a midget, and it putters around, and suddenly, its doors open, and out come a thousand clowns, whooping and hollering and raising hell!

(Last, desperate hint: One of the four quotes contains the title of the movie.)


*5. Anyway, I was at the hospital this morning, and coming home through the field behind our neighborhood, there behind Vista, I, uh … I found an ear.
Identified! by Melville

*6. Yeah, go ahead … slap me.
Identified! by Melville

*7. When a man takes an oath, he's holding his own self in his own hands, like water, and if he opens his fingers then, he needn't hope to find himself again.
Identified! by Melville

*8. My daddy always said there's only one time a man should be in a hurry: when the cops are coming up the stairs.
Identified! By SAP

*9. Listen, no matter what she says to you, don't answer her back. There's a Confederate pistol in her lap, under her shawl, and she'll kill you quick as look at you.
Identified! by Melville

*10. Old paint on canvas, as it ages, sometimes becomes transparent, and when that happens, it is possible, in some pictures, to see the original lines: a tree will show through a woman's dress, a child makes way for a dog, a boat is no longer on an open sea. That is called pentimento, because the painter repented, changed his mind.
Identified! by Melville

* = Identified, answer in comments.
