Gust's Private Party with Joanne (Julia Roberts, Phillip Hoffman) | Charlie Wilson's War

[@OutlierConcepts]

"No I wasn't really doing anything else" this movie is jammed full of top shelf one liners

[@NormAppleton]

We lost a great genius when PSH died.

[@Jedi862001]

You got to give Gust points for aiming high.

[@classicsmajor9699]

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

[@alertgasper]

when I was the wee lad--back when rainbows were in black and white--me mum told me, "never be afraid to ask out the beautiful women. Most men don't have the guts and you'll be surprised". What I was surprised by was my mother--former cheerleader and jock--had not the flucking cue what she was talking about. Men born attractive have no problem hitting on beautiful women, and while each one told me (an average looking fella) they were already taken, it turned out none of them lied. they did, however, often thank me for the compliment of walking up cold to strangers to ask them out, and some became friends. they did like the guts of someone like me going way out of his league and not being the creep who just stared and stared across the room. Being in the friend zone did have some benefits, and so there's a payoff for aiming high if you can do it without your hands shaking.

[@acesneeks]

he was making a joke, he said god is nowhere in this situation, it would take something as unlikely as you sleeping with me to change my mind. He was making a point about how he doesnt give a fuck about any of that and wants to help afghanistan. And God isnt going to help.

[@UncleRicoOSU]

@@acesneeksIs that why he stares at her ass on the way out too? Gust was taking a shot, however unlikely.

[@jacktorrance2633]

​@@acesneeks It was a shot as well. He wasn't going to say no if she walked out of the bar with him.

[@brianegendorf2023]

This movie is great on so many levels. Tom, PSH, and Julia are on point. I love the exchanges between Gust and just about everyone else.

[@thebagelsproductions]

Phil Hoffman is a godamn legend is what he is, godamn it ❤

[@maulrat588]

The book, of course, is better. Read the book. You'll love it more than the movie.

“Jail bait” lol

[@alertgasper]

she does seem like the fun one of the group, tho, doesn't she? but Amy Adams' character is certainly the gal Friday.

[@chamindaamerasinghe1969]

The Julia Robert's looks at all 3 girls n said "*****" .... ice cold

[@jrock2720]

"She's not a stripper she just posed for the cover" hahahah

[@Martini_GP]

oh Philip you are missed dearly

[@martinleonard3807]

This scene is funny AF. Very clever dialogue and acting.

[@alertgasper]

Aaron Sorkin--the guy who did West Wing--did the writing.

[@labenbrittenum6934]

the fact that PSH range could go from this to the most unnerving villain in the mission impossible series shows why the guy was one of the greatest character actors ever

[@situated4]

I'm so grateful to have been part of PSH's generation. A singular talent in anything he did on screen.

[@str8_white_mail]

The “sluts” line made me belt out laughing. Charlie Wilson’s War is a great movie

[@chriscarlson516]

Pretty much how Julia Robert’s treats women who are “beneath” her in real life…

[@davidhutchinson5233]

@@chriscarlson516 Hell, just about every woman on the edge of losing their beauty. Some never do but most indeed lose out to getting older. But they can do it gracefully.

[@jamesbeardsley5285]

The amount of acting power in that bar this scene is mind blowing

[@danmcgonagil3576]

I'd make the argument that this was one of Phillip Seymore Hoffman's best movies ever!!!

[@gibu002]

I LOVE this movie! Back when ALL Americans knew very clearly and without debate that the Russians were and are indeed our enemies. I wish I could learn more about Gust. There is very precious little to learn about him outside of this movie. Retired CIA operatives blabbing on any podcast they can find and hardly any stories about Gust.

[@bdp6740]

Search John Kiriakou. He talks a lot about Gust. “Oh he killed a lot of Russians!”

[@gibu002]

@@bdp6740 Thank you. Ill look again. The only story from John K I could find was Gust pushing him up against a wall one time over somebody Gust said was a friend of his. That story was at least something but its the most Ive been able to find outside the movie so far.

[@LeaveChildrenAlone]

Funny how you are asking and its in the title of the clip.

[@ChristopherRichwine]

I know , right?

[@swainscheps]

Ugh - the line at 4:09 is *so* bad - in an otherwise great script. Out of the 25 possible ways Gust could have suggested they hook up, there’s no way he picks that milquetoast rated-G phrase…

[@BaileysMariner]

0:30 Sorkinism alert, CJ also said this to Joe Quincy that time

[@pineear]

AS has recycled more of his own writing than any screenwriter in history. 1/2 of everything leads back to Sports Night or WW.
