Travel back in time to Bedford Falls with Jimmy Stewart in
It's a Wonderful Life...
as it premieres this Christmas Season on NBC,
December 1st, 2012 - Saturday Night!
Here are some of my favorite quotes:
[George returns to the bridge where his nightmare began, hoping to bring back his old life]
George Bailey: [praying] Clarence! Clarence! Help me, Clarence! Get me back! Get me back, I don't care what happens to me! Get me back to my wife and kids! Help me Clarence, please! Please! I wanna live again. I wanna live again. Please, God, let me live again.
[it begins to snow again]
Bert: [shouts] Hey, George! George! You all right? Hey, what's the matter?
George Bailey: Now get outta here, Bert, or I'll hit you again! Get outta here!
Bert: What the sam hill you yellin' for, George?
George Bailey: You...
[suddenly stunned]
George Bailey: George... Bert? Do you know me?
Bert: Know you? Huh. You kiddin'? I've been looking all over town trying to find you. I saw your car plowed into that tree down there and I thought maybe you - hey, your mouth's bleeding. Are you sure you're all right?
George Bailey: What the...
[licks the corner of his lip and checks his mouth with his hand]
George Bailey: Ha, ha, ha, ha! My mouth's bleeding, Bert! My mouth's bleeding! Zuzu's petals... Zuzu...
George Bailey: [checking his pocket] There they are! Bert, what do you know about that! Merry Christmas!
Clarence: You see George, you've really had a wonderful life. Don't you see what a mistake it would be to just throw it away?
Harry Bailey: A toast to my big brother George: The richest man in town!
It's a Wonderful Life is such a wonderful, beautiful story! Each of our lives do touch so many others, and it brings me such joy each year when our family watches it together. I hope you, too, will enjoy your trip back to Bedford Falls!

LOVE this movie. Ok - since you know most of the quotes - what does George say when he vaults the counter at the bank? The bird is on the counter and it is after their wedding during the bank run. We rewind this over and over at every family viewing of this movie. Some of us think he says, "Outta the way damnit". Other thinks he calls out the name of the crow. Watch it and pay attention next time and let me know what you think! LOL Happy Holidays!
