John Dunbar: How did you get your name? Stands With a Fist: When I came to live on the prairie, I worked every day... very hard... there was a woman who didn't like me. She called me bad names... sometimes she beat me. One day she was calling me these bad names, her face in my face, and I hit her. I was not very big, but she fell down. She fell hard and didn't move. I stood over her with my fist and asked if any other woman wanted to call me bad names... No one bothered me after that day. John Dunbar: [smiles] I wouldn't think so. Show me... where you hit her. [Stands With a Fist balls her fist and touches John at the base of the chin. John feigns being knocked unconscious as Stands With a Fist laughs]
Vivian: People put you down enough, you start to believe it. Edward Lewis: I think you are a very bright, very special woman. Vivian: The bad stuff is easier to believe. You ever notice that?

The most famous Shakespeare soliloquies
(and indeed, the most famous soliloquys in the English language)

The movie appears as if it might be a tragedy, but turns out to be a comedy.
Pretty Woman - Edward and Vivian.
Much Ado About Nothing - Benedick and Beatrice.
Claudio and Hero.
Tragedy: Vivian and Edward were meant to be together.
It Must Have Been Love, but its tragically OVER NOW.
Watch the Roxette video.
Tragedy: Claudio denounces Hero instead of pledging his love
and going through with the wedding vows and ceremony.
He has been tricked by Don John and Borachio.

Benedick: O, she misused me past the endurance of a block.
She told me, not thinking I had been myself, that I was the Prince's jester,
and that I was duller than a great thaw, huddling jest upon jest,
with such impossible conveyance upon me, that I stood like a man at a mark,
with a whole army shooting at me.
She speaks poniards, and every word stabs.
If her breath were as terrible as her terminations,
there were no living near her, she would infect to the North star.
So indeed all disquiet, horror, and perturbation follows her.
Don Pedro: Look, here she comes.
Benedick: Will your Grace command me any service to the world's end?
I will go on the slightest errand now to the Antipodes that you can devise to send me on.
I will fetch you a hair off the great Cham's beard,
do you any embassage to the Pygmies,
rather then hold three words conference with this Harpy.
You have no employment for me?
Don Pedro: None but to desire your good company.
Benedick: O God, sir, here's a dish I love not. I cannot endure my lady Tongue.
