John Holt: Caleb, if I had to ask you why you're so frustrated with Catherine, what would you say? Caleb Holt: She's stubborn. She makes everything difficult for me. She's ungrateful. She's constantly griping about something. John Holt: Has she thanked you for anything you've done in the last 20 days? Caleb Holt: No! And you'd think after I washed the car, changed the oil, do the dishes, washed the house, that she would try to show me a little bit of gratitude, but she doesn't. In fact, when I come home, she makes me feel like I'm an enemy! I'm not even welcome in my own home, dad! That is what really ticks me off! Dad, for the last three weeks I have bent over backwards for her! I have tried to demonstrate that I still care about this relationship. I bought her flowers, which she threw away. I have taken her insults and her sarcasm, but last night was it. I made dinner for her. I did everything I could to demonstrate that I care about her, to show value for her, and she spat in my face! She does not deserve this, dad! I am not doing it anymore! How am I supposed to show love to somebody over and over and over, who constantly rejects me? John Holt: [John Holt strokes the wooden cross, and turns to Caleb] That's a good question. Caleb Holt: Dad, that is not what I'm doing. John Holt: Is it? Caleb Holt: No. Dad, that is not what this is about. John Holt: Son, you just asked me: how can someone show love over and over again when they're constantly rejected? Caleb, the answer is: you can't love her, because you can't give her what you don't have. I couldn't truly love your mother until I understood what love truly was. It's not because I get some reward out of it. I've now made a decision to love your mother whether she deserves it or not. Son, God loves you, even though you don't deserve it. Even though you've rejected Him. Spat in His face. God sent Jesus to die on the cross for your sin, because He loves you. The cross was offensive to me, until I came to it. But when I did, Jesus Christ changed my life. That's when I truly began to love your mom. Son, I can't settle this for you. This is between you and the Lord. But I love you too much not to tell you the truth. Can't you see that you need Him? Can't you see that you need His forgiveness? Caleb Holt: Yes. John Holt: Will you trust Him with your life? [Caleb nods; yes]
[at a seminar, Charlie Kaufman has asked McKee for advice on his new screenplay in which 'nothing much happens'] Robert McKee: Nothing happens in the world? Are you out of your fucking mind? People are murdered every day. There's genocide, war, corruption. Every fucking day, somewhere in the world, somebody sacrifices his life to save someone else. Every fucking day, someone, somewhere takes a conscious decision to destroy someone else. People find love, people lose it. For Christ's sake, a child watches her mother beaten to death on the steps of a church. Someone goes hungry. Somebody else betrays his best friend for a woman. If you can't find that stuff in life, then you, my friend, don't know crap about life! And why the FUCK are you wasting my two precious hours with your movie? I don't have any use for it! I don't have any bloody use for it! Charlie Kaufman: Okay, thanks.
Jan: Only when faced with losing me do you decide you want to spend the rest of your life with me. Paul: So, what's wrong with that? I didn't like the alternative. I mean that's how one usually comes to a decision anyway, right? Jan: Wrong again, Paul - one comes to a decision based on what one wants, not based on what one doesn't want. Got it?
Lydia: I'm trying to be your girlfriend Gerry! I'm trying to win you back! I'm standing on the platform at Limbo Central with my heart and soul packed in my suitcase waiting for the Gerry Fucking Express to roll in and tell me that my ticket is still valid and that I may reboard the train. Only the station announcer keeps coming on and telling me that my train has been delayed as the driver has suffered a major panic attack in Indecision City, "We suggest you take the bus"! That's what I have been trying to do, you cripple!
Jigsaw: Hello, William. Before you are six of your most valuable associates. The ones who find errors in policies. Their findings result in over two-thirds of all applications denied or prematurely terminated. Now you must apply your analysis to them. And will you be able to find their errors? Six ride the carousel, but only two can get off. The decision of which two survive falls upon you. But remember, the mounted gun will continue to fire until all six rounds are spent. And if no decision is made on your part, all six will perish. To offer the two reprieves, you must press both buttons at once in the box before you. However, in doing so, you will give a sacrifice of your own. Two can live, four will die. Your decisions symbolized by the blood on your hands.
Vinny Gambini: I understand you played a game of pool with Lisa for $200, which she won. I'm here to collect. J.T.: How 'bout if I just kick your ass? Vinny Gambini: Oh, a counter-offer. That's what we lawyers - I'm a lawyer - we lawyers call that a counter-offer. This is a tough decision here. Get my ass kicked or collect $200. Let me think... I could use a good ass-kickin', I'll be very honest with you... nah, I think I'll just go with the two hundred. J.T.: Over my dead body. Vinny Gambini: You like to renegotiate as you go along, don't you? Well here's my counter-offer... do I have to kill you? What if I were just to kick the ever loving shit out of you? J.T.: In your dreams. Vinny Gambini: Oh no no... in reality. If I was to kick the shit out of you, do I get the money? J.T.: You kick the shit, out of me. Vinny Gambini: Yeah. J.T.: Yeah. you get the money. Vinny Gambini: So, here are my options. Option A: I get my ass kicked or Option B: I kick your ass and collect the 200. I think I'm gonna go with Option B: Kickin' your ass and collecting $200. [Takes off his jacket] J.T.: We're gonna fight now? Vinny Gambini: Yeah. But first, show me the money. J.T.: I have it. Vinny Gambini: You have it, then show it to me. J.T.: [pause] I can get it. Vinny Gambini: You can get it? Okay, get it. Then we'll fight. [Takes his jacket from Lisa]
Palpatine: Master Jedi, may I suggest the Senator be placed under the protection of your graces. Sen. Bail Organa: You really think that is a wise decision during these stressful times? Padme: Chancellor, if I may comment, I do not believe... Palpatine: The situation is that serious? Oh, but I do, Senator. I realize all too well that additional security might be disruptive for you, but... perhaps someone you're familiar with. An old friend, like... Master Kenobi.
Professor Freidman: What you have before you is a cautionary tale. I was the chairman on Mr. Sherman's honour thesis committee. His paper was a wanton assault on every principle this institution holds dear. Now, you should all be open to original thinkers, but his thesis wasn't original. It was an 80 page temper-tantrum. So, instead of re-writing it, he drops out of school. You can see that decision has gotten him far. Behold, ladies and gentlemen, this is what happens when you stray from my syllabus. Will Sherman: Um, sir, with all do respect sir, why don't you take your Categorical Imperative, and shove it up your ass.
Marty: If I'm not mistaken, you've come back here to the house of loneliness and tears, to Daddy Downer and Brother Bummer, to come to some sort of decision about life, a life decision if you will.
The Bride: [Describing her pregnancy to Bill] Before that strip turned blue, I was a woman. I was your woman. I was a killer who killed for you. Before that strip turned blue, I would have jumped a motorcycle onto a speeding train... for you. But once that strip turned blue, I could no longer do any of those things. Not anymore. Because I was going to be a mother. Can you understand that? Bill: Yes. But why didn't you tell me then instead of now? The Bride: Because once I would have told you, you'd claim her, and I didn't want that. Bill: Not your decision to make. The Bride: Yes, but it was the right decision and I made it for my daughter. She deserved to be born with a clean slate. But with you, she would have been born in a world she shouldn't have. I had to choose... I chose her.
Sassafras: Did you ever consider non-monogamy? Leslie: For me, it's all a matter of bubblegum ice cream. I only like one flavor on my cone & when the ice cream's gone, you still got gum to chew & gum lasts forever, even if you swallow it by accident. Sassafras: How do you ignore the whole candy store? Leslie: A natural aversion to decision making. Sassafras: I guess I just must be a radical girl. Leslie: Radical? Try committing yourself to one person for the rest of your life! If that's not extreme I don't know what is.
Ghost Dog: In the words of the ancients, one should make his decision within the space of seven breaths. It is a matter of being determined and having the spirit to break through to the other side.
Gwen Saticoy: [En route to the Osborne residence] ... You used to be a prosecutor. Why'd you change sides? Merle Hammond: Same reason everyone does. Money. Gwen Saticoy: Doesn't it ever feel strange, defending people you used to prosecute? Merle Hammond: ...I learned some of my best tricks in the DA's office. Gwen Saticoy: Is that a term they teach in law school? "Trick"? Merle Hammond: I can feel that sanctimonious lecture on truth and ethics just hovering over those self-righteous lips of yours. Gwen Saticoy: ...I'm curious: Is the whole point to trick everybody? The judge, the witnesses, the jury? Merle Hammond: Juries aren't bright enough to trick. After all, these are people too dumb to figure a way out of jury duty. Not that I'm complaining, mind you; as far as I'm concerned, the dumber they are, the better. Gwen Saticoy: Okay... Let's say I get a group of shoppers from the grocery store. I take them to a hospital, where two neurologists are trying to figure out whether to operate on a patient's frontal lobe, or his cereberal cortex. After the doctors explain the pros and cons of each operation to these shoppers, they still have no idea what should be done... Would you consider THEM dumb? Merle Hammond: The jury's obligation is to render a decision based on the facts presented. Nonetheless, I find your defense of them admirable; it isn't often you hear someone speak so highly of sheep. Gwen Saticoy: Well, as one of their shepherds, don't you feel any responsibility when they end up roaming aimlessly in some field... far off the mark? Merle Hammond: I don't give a damn where they wind up, or how they got there, so long as I win. In law school, you learn LAW; in the *courtroom,* you learn SURVIVAL. Your job is to *get your client off.* And believe me, if I were defending YOU on a murder charge, you wouldn't want it any other way... Whenever anyone preaches about a "fair trial," what they really mean is one that ends in their favor. *That* makes it fair.
Jessica: [Opening Lines] [after Martin receives a fax showing American Dreamz as the top rated show] Jessica: How are the numbers? Martin Tweed: Incredible. [chuckles] Martin Tweed: Absolutely incredible. Jessica: Congratulations. [pause] Jessica: I'm leaving you. [long pause] Jessica: Did you hear what I said? I'm leaving you. Martin Tweed: [still staring at the fax] Yeah, I heard. Yeah, Yeah Jessica: I'm not kidding. Martin Tweed: I know. [turns and walks toward her] Martin Tweed: Look, I think it's an excellent decision on your part. Jessica: You do? Martin Tweed: You're a fantastic person and the last year's been really great. You're beautiful. The sex has been wonderful. You're kind and supportive. You wait for me with dinner when I work late: you're amazing. And it's driving me out of my *fucking* mind. [she stares in disbelief] Martin Tweed: You know, with numbers like this, this should be the happiest day of my life and instead i have to worry about whether I make *you* happy all the time! [pause, her lip quivers] Martin Tweed: Jessica, sweetheart, you make me feel like being a better person. And I'm not a better person. I'm me. Jessica: [teary-eyed as she walks away] I feel sorry for you. Martin Tweed: Don't. I certainly don't. In fact, I envy myself deeply.
Paul: Alonzo, there's two shots left in that other stinger. We need to just kill your boy right now and say Roger got him coming through the door. Alonzo: We ain't killing nobody. This guy's got the magic eye. I can feel it. Just had a little freak-out, that's all. Now I say he's cool, and nobody's gonna hurt him. But you do have a decision to make, because in about 10 seconds, this whole place is gonna be overrun with blue suits. [sirens approaching] Alonzo: So just walk outside and clear your head, or just shoot me. Jake: [on the way out] Hey, Paul. [punches Paul] Paul: [Mark holds him back] You're *dead*, motherfucker! You hear me? [shouts] Paul: You're fuckin' dead!
[J.C. is about to rescue a hostage that Page is using as a bargaining chip] JC Denton: Do you think I made the right decision to rescue Savage's daughter? Sam Carter: Absolutely. Never negotiate with a terrorist. JC Denton: Tiffany could lose her life. Sam Carter: *Never* negotiate. You'll just encourage more acts of terror.
Robert Childs: I can remember being in a complete state of hopelessness. I can remember making bad decision after bad decision. I can remember in and out of jail. I can remember sellin' drugs, I can remember usin' drugs. I can remember thinking the only thing I had to look forward to the next day was death. And I lived like that and I expected that. And since I put that energy in I didn't get a lot out of that. I thank God that I was given a second chance.
Kate: When you got on that plane, I was sure it was over. I left the airport afraid I'd never see you again. And then you showed up the very next day. That was a good surprise. You know, I think about the decision you made... maybe I was being naive, but I believed that we would grow old together in this house. That we'd spend holidays here and have our grandchildren come visit us here. I had this image of us, all grey and wrinkly, and me working in the garden and you re-painting the deck. But things change. If you need this, Jack, if you really need this, I will take these kids from a life they love and I'll take myself from the only home we've ever shared together and I'll move wherever you need to go. I'll do that because I love you. I love you, and that's more important to me than our address. I choose us.
Blake: A-I-D-A. Attention, Interest, Decision, Action. Attention - Do I have you attention? Interest - Are you interested? I know you are, because it's fuck or walk. You close or you hit the bricks. Decision - Have you made your decision for Christ? And Action.
Ben Gates: [in security lock-up in Buckingham Palace] So when did you realize it was a fake argument? Abigail Chase: When did you realize that I was actually arguing during the fake argument? Ben Gates: Right in the middle there, at the part where I'm always wrong. Which I don't understand, because when I assume I'm right, and it turns out my assumption is correct, how is that wrong? Abigail Chase: When you make a decision without asking me, and you *happen* to be right, you got lucky. Ben Gates: [long pause] Well, I get lucky a lot.
Luther: You know those moments when a man makes a decision that'll change his entire life and he steps up to become the hero he was meant to be? This ain't one of those moments.
Billie Frank: Alright, alright, I admit it. I'm a fiscally irresponsible, emotionally unstable, former drunk. But that shouldn't *no way* prejudice your decision to maybe, you know, hopefully give me an advance? Sidney Gibson: An advance? You don't earn the money I pay you.
Kaffee: Lt. Kendrick, was Lance Corporal Dawson given a below average rating on this last report because you learned he had been sneaking food to Private Bell? Capt. Ross: Object! Judge Randolph: Not so fast. Lieutenant? Lt. Kendrick: Lance Corporal Dawson was given a below average rating because he had committed a crime. Kaffee: A crime? What crime did he commit? Lieutenant Kendrick? Dawson brought a hungry guy some food... what crime did he commit? Lt. Kendrick: He disobeyed an order! Kaffee: And because he did. Because he exercised his own set of values. Because he made a decision about the welfare of another Marine which was in conflict with an order of yours he was punished. Isn't that right. Lt. Kendrick: Lance Corporal Dawson disobeyed an order! Kaffee: Yeah, but it wasn't a real order, was it? I mean it's peace time. He wasn't being asked to secure a hill or advance on a beach head. Surely a Marine of Dawson's intelligence can be trusted to determine, on his own, which are the really important orders and which orders might, say, be morally questionable? Lieutenant Kendrick? Can he? Can Dawson determine on his own which orders he's going to follow? Lt. Kendrick: No, he cannot. Kaffee: A lesson he learned after the Curtis Bell incident, am I right? Lt. Kendrick: I would think so. Kaffee: You know so don't you, Lieutenant. Capt. Ross: Object! Judge Randolph: Sustained. Kaffee: Lieutenant Kendrick, one final question. If you had ordered Dawson to give Santiago a code red... Lt. Kendrick: [Interrupting, exasperated] I SPECIFICALLY ORDERED THOSE MEN NOT TO TOUCH SANTIAGO! Kaffee: ...would it be reasonable to think he would have disobeyed you again? Capt. Ross: Lieutenant, don't answer that! Kaffee: You don't have to, I'm through. Capt. Ross: Lieutenant Kendrick, did you order Lance Corporal Dawson and Private Downey to give Willie Santiago a code red? [Kendrick initially refuses to answer, sensing he's been caught lying] Capt. Ross: Lieutenant Kendrick! Did you... Lt. Kendrick: No, I did not!
Wyatt Tee Walker: So we made the decision based on several things. Fred Shuttlesworth was fearless and courageous to the point of being almost insane; miraculously surviving a bombing of his home. Had taking his wife and two children trying to integrate a school with a mob of five or six hundred folks with chains and stuff like that; just an incredible human being in my view.
Jason Bourne: I don't want to do this anymore. Conklin: I don't think that's a decision you can make. Jason Bourne: Jason Bourne is dead, you hear me? He drowned two weeks ago. You're gonna go tell 'em that Jason Bourne is dead, you understand? Conklin: Where are you gonna go? Jason Bourne: I swear to God, if I even feel somebody behind me, there is no measure to how fast and how hard I will bring this fight to your doorstep. I'm on my own side now.
Mrs. Clack: [Edward Walker tells the group he has sent Ivy to the towns to fetch medicines] What have you done? Edward Walker: He is the victim of a crime. Mrs. Clack: We have agreed never to go back. Never Edward Walker: What was the purpose of our leaving? Don't forget, it was out of hope of something good and right. Robert Percy: You should not have made decisions without us! Edward Walker: I'm guilty, Robert! I made a decision of a heart, I cannot look into another's eyes and see the same look I see in August's without justification! It is too painful, I cannot bear it! Mrs. Clack: You have jeopardized everything we have made. Edward Walker: Who do you think will continue this place, this life? Do you plan to live forever? It is in them that our future lies, it is in Ivy and Lucius that this way of life will continue. Yes I have risked, I hope I am always able to risk everything for the just and right cause. If we did not make this decision, we could never again call ourselves innocent, and that in the end is what we have protected here, innocence! That I'm not ready to give up. August Nicholson: Let her go. If it ends, it ends. We can move towards hope, that's what's beautiful about this place. We cannot run from heartache. My brother was slain in the towns, the rest of my family died here. Heartache is a part of life, we know that now. Ivy is running toward hope, let her run. If this place is worthy, she'll be successful in her quest. Mrs. Clack: How could you have sent her. She is blind. Edward Walker: She is more capable than most in this village. And she is led by love. The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe.
Lance Armstrong: Could I get a bottle of water. - - Hey, aren't you Peter La Fleur? Peter La Fleur: Lance Armstrong! Lance Armstrong: Yeah, that's me. But I'm a big fan of yours. Peter La Fleur: Really? Lance Armstrong: Yeah, I've been watching the dodgeball tournament on the Ocho. ESPN 8. I just can't get enough of it. But, good luck in the tournament. I'm really pulling for you against those jerks from Globo Gym. I think you better hurry up or you're gonna be late. Peter La Fleur: Uh, actually I decided to quit... Lance. Lance Armstrong: Quit? You know, once I was thinking about quitting when I was diagnosed with brain, lung and testicular cancer, all at the same time. But with the love and support of my friends and family, I got back on the bike and I won the Tour de France five times in a row. But I'm sure you have a good reason to quit. So what are you dying from that's keeping you from the finals? Peter La Fleur: Right now it feels a little bit like... shame. Lance Armstrong: Well, I guess if a person never quit when the going got tough, they wouldn't have anything to regret for the rest of their life. But good luck to you Peter. I'm sure this decision won't haunt you forever.
David Poole: [after Cahill and Doyle's argument almost throws Farley off the bridge] Yep. I'm REAL happy about my decision to stick with you guys.
CO-OP Board President: Hiring you boys based on your performance in the potato sack race was the worst decision I ever made!
Ms. Darbus: And now a senior who I believe has a decision to make, Mr. Troy Bolton. Troy. Troy Bolton: [Troy steps forward] I've chosen Basketball. [the crowd cheers] Troy Bolton: But I've also chosen theatre. [the crowd cheers more] Troy Bolton: The University of California Berkeley offers me both. That's where I'm going to be attending next fall... But most of all, I choose the person who inspires my heart. Which is why picked a school which is exactly thirty two [Troy turns and faces Gabriella] Troy Bolton: point seven miles from you. [Gabriella takes his his and moves forward and stands next to Troy] Troy Bolton: Miss Gabriella Montez, Stanford University. Pre-law.
Lt. Col. Gordon Tall: This is very important decision you're makin', Staros.
Koehler: Every decision you've made has only brought us from bad to worse.
Gerry: It's a fat camp! Are you crazy? No way! I'm not going to camp with a bunch of fat loads! Mrs. Garner: Gerry! Roger Johnson: Now that's not kind, Gerry. Maury Garner: We're doing this for your own good. We gatta nip this thing in the bud. Gerry: I'm fine. This is a joke right? You're fatter than I am why don't you go to fat camp. Mrs. Garner: You show your father some respect. Maury Garner: First I think we should have a little pow-wow, and then we will call you with our decision. Gerry: I'll give you my decision right now. I'm not going. [Cut to a jetliner taking off]
343 Guilty Spark: Why naturally the Flood is simply too dangerous to release, and mass sterilization protocols may again need to be enacted. Of course, samples were kept here after the last catastrophic outbreak... for study. It seems... that decision may have been an error.
