Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

... you can learn from:

The Birds (1963)

Cathy (Veronica Cartwright): I still don't understand how you knew I wanted lovebirds.

Melanie (Tippi Hedren): Your brother told me.

Lydia (Jessica Tandy): Then you knew Mitch in San Francisco. Is that right?

Melanie: No, not exactly.

Cathy: Mitch knows a lot of people in San Francisco. Of course, they're mostly hoods.

Lydia: Cathy!

Cathy: Well, Mom, he's the first to admit it. He spends half his day in the detention cells at the Hall of Justice.

Lydia: In a democracy, Cathy, everyone is entitled to a fair trial. Your brother's practice...

Cathy: Aw, Mom, please. I know all that democracy jazz. They're still hoods  ... He has a client now who shot his wife in the head six times. Six times! Can you imagine it? I mean, even twice would be overdoing it, don't you think?

Happy 62nd birthday, Veronica Cartwright!
