  • [last lines]

    Hedy Lamarr - Self: [voice over] I'll read you something pretty. "People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered - love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, alternative motives - do good anyway. The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds - think big anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight - build anyway. Give the world the best you have and you'll be kicked into the teeth - give the world the best you've got anyway."
