Answer: white horses

This is a reference to the Emerson, Lake and Palmer song "Lucky Man". The speech said by George in the last scene of the movie is very deep and emotional. "So in the end, was it worth it? Jesus Christ. How irreparably changed my life has become. It's always the last day of summer and I'm left outside in the cold with no door to get back in. I'll grant you I've had more than my share of poignant moments. Life passes most people by while they're making grand plans for it. Throughout my lifetime I've left pieces of my heart here and there, and now there's almost not enough to stay alive. But I force a smile, knowing that my ambition far exceeded my talent. There are no more white horses or pretty ladies at my door." -George Jung [Johnny Depp] I hope you enjoyed my quiz about an incredible movie based on an incredible man!
