Stumpy: Oh you foolish foolish boys. This is how it all starts. I've seen it all before. I was there. I was there. Yeah! It was called the 80's! Ford was President, Nixon was in the White House, FDR was running this country into the ground. I was bumming in a hole in the wall town in what is now called "Utah". Some fellow from Colorado shows up- starts making all kinds of so called "improvements", right? Before we knew what hit us, the streets were running us with lattes! Rick: No? Stumpy: Yup!... It got so bad that a fellow that liked to, you know, smoke a little grass or drink a little ripple. Crow like a rooster! Maybe challenge the mayor's son to a gentlemen's duel, is uncouth, "Against God!" and bad for real estate values. STUMPY HAD TO GOOOO! Richard, be careful what you wish for. Rick: You got it Stump Stumpy: Be careful what you wish for! Rick: I will Stumpy: Alright? [slams knife down onto table but into his own hand] Rick: GOD! Stumpy: [voice straining] I'm good Pigpen: [nonchalantly] You better put something on that Stumpy: [Walks away straining]
There are very few films or plays or anything about really happy people with perfect lives. Everyone is usually screwed up in some way and that is usually where the work comes in - figuring out how to make it believable and make it real to present someone's problems that you don't necessarily actually know anything about. I mean it is not challenging to be happy all the time. I don't think I could do it!
I've worked really hard to bring something more to "pretty girl" roles over the years. I consider it a challenge.
[Marty has accepted Tannen's challenge to dual] Seamus McFly: You had him, Mr. Eastwood! You could have just walked away and nobody would of thought the less of you for it. All it would have been was words... hot air from a buffoon. Instead, you let him rile you, rile you into playing his game, his way, by his rules. Marty McFly: Seamus, relax, I know what I'm doing. Maggie McFly: He reminds me of poor Martin. Seamus McFly: Aye. Marty McFly: Who? Seamus McFly: Me brother. Marty McFly: Wait a minute, you have a brother named Martin McFly? Seamus McFly: *Had* a brother. Martin used to let men provoke him into fighting. He was concerned people would think him a coward if he refused. That's how he got a bowie knife shoved through his belly in a saloon in Virginia City. Never considered the future, poor Martin, God rest his soul. Maggie McFly: Sure'n hope you're considering the future, Mr. Eastwood. Marty McFly: [quietly] I think about it all the time.
[Lancelot finds Arthur praying in the stable] Lancelot: Why do you always talk to God and not to me? Pray to whomever you pray that we don't cross the Saxons. Arthur: My faith is what protects me, Lancelot. Why do you challenge this? Lancelot: I don't like anything that puts a man on his knees. Arthur: No man fears to kneel before the God he trusts. Without faith, without belief in something, what are we?
Stumpy: I was there. Yeah, it was called the '80s. Ford was President, Nixon was in the White House and FDR was running this country into the ground. I was bummin' in a hole-in-a-wall town in what is now called Utah. Some fella from Colorado shows up, starts making so called "improvements", right? Before we knew what hit us, the streets are running with late'. It got so bad that a fella that liked to, you know... smoke a little grass or drink a little ripple. Crow like a rooster, maybe challenge the mayor's son to a gentlemen's duel, was "uncouth, against God." More like bad real estate values. So we had to go!
Gale: Look, local woman! I know you hold me up as your career template and that it gives you some sort of charge to challenge me, but give it a rest.
Mike Vanzetti: So as chairman and publisher, how do you balance all these competing interests you've got - the family, the trust, the newsroom, the audience, the advertiser? Himself - Chairman, New York Times Company: The stock market? Mike Vanzetti: Thank you. Himself - Chairman, New York Times Company: We worry a little bit about our earnings and our stock prices. Once every quarter, the executive editor, in this case, Bill Keller, gets into the ring and the CEO, Russ Lewis at the moment but soon Janet Robinson, and they duel it out. They just have a fistfight, and whoever wins for the next quarter we worry more about the journalism or we worry about the profits. It's a very simple operation. It's a balancing act. It's easy. Anyone can manage for one. Anyone can manage for the other. You manage for nothing but the quality of the journalism. You can manage for nothing but the quality of the profits. And that's easy. The challenge is to manage for both.
Mr. Kite: In this way, Mr. K will challenge the world - with the blue people! They're great! They're just... chilled out!
Barry Shalowitz: What do you think? What would be the perfect flavor with this meal? Ira Shalowitz: Cherry vanilla? Barry Shalowitz: No. If it was Chinese food, right on the money, but this? Toasted almonds. Mitch Robbins: What's going on? Ira Shalowitz: Barry can pick out the exact right flavor of ice cream to follow any meal. Go ahead. Challenge him. Mitch Robbins: Challenge him? Barry Shalowitz: Go on. Mitch Robbins: [shrugs] Franks and beans. Barry Shalowitz: Scoop of chocolate, scoop of vanilla. Don't waste my time. [Flings plate at Mitch as if he throws down the gauntlet] Barry Shalowitz: Come on. Push me. Mitch Robbins: Sea bass. Barry Shalowitz: Grilled? Mitch Robbins: Sauteed. Barry Shalowitz: I'm with you. Mitch Robbins: Potatoes au gratin. Asparagus. Barry Shalowitz: Rum raisin. Barry Shalowitz, Ira Shalowitz: [high-fiving] WOOF! Mitch Robbins: Woof, what? How do you know he's right? Ira Shalowitz: How do we know? 1400 retail outlets from coast to coast, that's how we know. Barry Shalowitz, Ira Shalowitz: [They look at each other, and high-five each other again] WOOF!
Rachel: So are you two in school or something? Oliver: I'm at Columbia and as far as this year's challenge for Igby, we're still waiting to hear back from this fun parochial school in D.C. Igby: "Perchance to dream." Oliver: He's already done the Protestant circuit. Mom must have some compromising photos of the head priest with an altar boy for them to even be considering Igby.
General Bethlehem: Law one. You will obey orders without question. Law two: Punishment shall be swift. Law three: Mercy is for the weak. Four: Terror will defeat reason. Five: Your allegiance is to the clan. Six: Justice can be dictated. Seven: Any clansman may challenge for leadership of the clan. Law eight: There is only one penalty. Death.
Kratos: [strides out of his ship] Ten years, Athena! I have faithfully served the gods for ten years! When will you leave me of these nightmares? Athena: We have one final task of you, Kratos. Your greatest challenge awaits in Athens; where even now, my brother: Ares, lays siege, as we speak. Athens is on the verge of destruction. It is the will of Ares my great city fall. Zues has forbidden the gods from waging war on each other. That is why it must be you, Kratos. Only a mortal trained by a god has a chance at defeating Ares. Kratos: And if I am able to do this; to kill a god, then the visions: they will end? Athena: Complete this final task, and the past that consumes you will be forgiven. Have faith, Kratos, the gods do not forget those who come to their aid. Narrator: Leaving the rotting carcass of the hydra behind, Kratos set sail once more. His greatest challenge, and freedom from his growing madness lay before him, in the ancient city, of Athens.
Captain Smith: There's a line... often quoted... in the newspapers. "God Himself Could Not Sink This Ship". She was appropriately named! The Titan's dared to challenge the God's. And for their arrogance, they were cast down into hell.
Ricky Bobby: I came here to tell you one thing. Come race time tomorrow I'm coming for you. Jean Girard: Do you know why I came to America Monsieur Bobby? Ricky Bobby: Health care systems, giant water parks. The same reason anyone comes to America. Jean Girard: I came here for you to beat me. Ricky Bobby: What are you talking about? Jean Girard: My husband Gregory and I want only that what every other couple wants. To tame komodo dragons in Sri Lanka and teach them to perform Hamlet but before I can do that... Ricky Bobby: That's dumb. Jean Girard: It's not dumb. Ricky Bobby: It is dumb. Jean Girard: Why is it dumb? Ricky Bobby: I don't know. Jean Girard: But before I can do that I must be beaten by a driver who is truly better than me. Ricky Bobby: You saying you're going to lose to me on purpose? Jean Girard: No. Ricky Bobby: No? Jean Girard: NO! I will battle you with the entirety of my heart and you will probably lose. But maybe, just maybe. You might challenge me. The Beatles needed the Rolling Stones. Even Diane Sawyer needed Katie Couric. Will you be my Katie Couric? Ricky Bobby: Wow I feel like I'm in the Highlander. Jean Girard: What's the Highlander? Ricky Bobby: It's a movie. Jean Girard: Oh any good? Ricky Bobby: Very good. It won the academy award. Jean Girard: Oh for what? Ricky Bobby: Best movie ever made. Look I came here to tell you tomorrow I'm coming for you. Jean Girard: May god be with you Monsieur Bobby. Because although today I am friendly. Tomorrow will be war! Ricky Bobby: Alright.

Danger Barch: [Repeated line; yelling] And I challenge the "Motor City Cobra", Thomas "Hit Man" Hearns to fight me for the Welterweight Championship of the whole world!
[On whether or not acting is still challenging for him] The challenge? It's always a challenge of a sort. It's a challenge to get up and go and leave your family and go out there in all different parts of the world and do a picture and try to make it come alive . . . You're still challenged for that. I mean, it's the same story. It's just not changed. It seems to be the same thing it always was. It's this effort. If you get excited about a thing then things are generally a little easier. If you get enthusiastic and you want to do something and you feel you are into something then things start to come. But usually to find the enthusiasm and the appetite, that's the challenge.
Nala: Have you guys seen Simba? Timon: I thought he was with you. Nala: He was but now I can't find him. Where is he? Rafiki: You won't find him here. The King has returned. Nala: I don't believe it. He's gone back. Timon: What? [looks up and sees Rafiki has disappeared] Timon: Hey, what's going on here? Who's the monkey? Nala: Simba's gone back to challenge Scar. Timon: Who? Nala: Scar. Pumbaa: Who's got a scar? Nala: No no no. It's his uncle. Timon: The monkey's his uncle? Nala: No. Simba's gone back to challenge his uncle to take his place as king. Timon, Pumbaa: Ohhh.
Dr. P: Every once in a while, a shepherd has to pluck a sheep from the heard and challenge him. It lets the man know he's worthy of leading him. Roger: Well, you know what? I don't want to be a shepherd anymore! Dr. P: You're not the shepherd, DUMB ASS, I'm the shepherd! Its called an analogy, moron! Roger: Look, you dont understand. Everything was going so well between us. Dr. P: Well, clearly I'm sure you're just days away from adopting a Chinese kid together.
Crown Prince Leopold: Well done. Eisenheim: Thank you for coming. I hope you enjoyed it. Crown Prince Leopold: Oh, we more than enjoyed it, it stimulated great discussion among us hasn't it. Except of course for your assistant Duchess Von Teschen, you seem to have struck her quite speechless. Did you hypnotize her? Eisenheim: In a fashion. Crown Prince Leopold: I'd like to learn that trick. Reinher here seems to think you have supernatural powers. Do you claim supernatural powers? Eisenheim: I've never said anything of that kind. Crown Prince Leopold: Then you won't mind me asking a question or two? Sophie: Oh, lets not ruin it. Crown Prince Leopold: I needn't divulge in anything I can't guess. Eisenheim: As you wish. Crown Prince Leopold: You're assistants are behind the mirrors somewhere, in robes obviously; lights in the frame perhaps to illuminate them or angled mirrors. Eisenheim: That would be one way to do it. Crown Prince Leopold: I think i understand it all except the ghost. That was very very good. Josef Fischer: Another viewing, perhaps? Crown Prince Leopold: You must come the the Hoffburg next time. We'll make an evening of it. Eisenheim: That would be my pleasure. Crown Prince Leopold: So be it. Sophie. I will gather our best minds next time. You really have to challenge them. Eisenheim: Then I shall prepare something special. Perhaps I'll make you disappear.

Narrator: And so, love triumphed in the end and the invaders were destroyed. For this world, our world is the world of man. We have earned the right to live here and as long as we love, humanity will prevail. Each of our enemies has failed in their quest to defeat us. Each has been undone by their own nefarious plans. Among all worlds, across all galaxies, we stand above, we stand alone. None can threaten our existence, none can challenge our spirit. And why? Of all the qualities that make us unique, it is love that is our greatest strength. And because of love, mankind... [Narrator gets hit by a bus]
[Spider-Man approaches a man in trouble] Spider-Man: What's the matter? [Suddenly, several robbers stand behind the scared Man to challenge Spider-Man] Man: Hey, Spidey! Is your refrigerator running? 'Cause I sure am! [the thugs charge at Spider-Man, but he fights them away easily] Spider-Man: No, but I've got Prince Albert in a can!

Major General George E. Pickett: Sirs, perhaps there are those among you who believe you are descended from a ape. I suppose there may even be those among you who believe that I am descended from a ape. But I challenge the man to step forward who believes that General Robert E. Lee is descended from a ape. James L. Kemper: Hear, hear! Brig. Gen. Richard B. Garnett: Not likely.
