The End: Closing Lines of Over 3,000 Theatrically-Released American Films (McFarland Classics)

Filmmakers have long recognized the importance of the ending as the logical point to which all action leads. Who can forget Scarlett O'Hara's declaration to get Rhett Butler back in Gone with the Wind because “After all, tomorrow is another day.” This compilation contains closing lines—the final words spoken by one character, regardless of length—for over 3,000 films. Arranged by movie (from Aaron Slick to Zorro) each entry includes year of release, studio, closing lines, character, and actor. In many cases, the lines have been verified against original screenplays.
