Finding Forrester (2000)

Forrester: You're the man now, dog!

Jamal Wallace: I came back to see, if you could help me out with my writing. William Forrester: How about 5,000 words on why you'll stay the fuck out of my home?

William Forrester: In some cultures it's good luck to be wearing something inside-out. Jamal Wallace: And you believe that? William Forrester: No, but it's like praying: what do you risk?

Jamal: Don't forget to write.

William Forrester: You write the first draft with your heart, and the second draft with your head.

Jamal Wallace: "The rest of those who have gone before us cannot steady the unrest of those to follow." You wrote that in your book.

William Forrester: Bolt the door, if you're coming in.

Jamal Wallace: Women will sleep with you if you write a book? William Forrester: Women will sleep with you if you write a bad book.

William Forrester: What you write in this apartment stays in this apartment.

William Forrester: The key to a woman's heart is an unexpected gift at an unexpected time.
