Blind Seer:
You seek a great fortune, you three who are now in chains. You will find a fortune, though it will not be the one you seek. But first... first you must travel a long and difficult road, a road fraught with peril. Mm-hmm. You shall see thangs, wonderful to tell. You shall see a... a cow... on the roof of a cotton house, ha. And, oh, so many startlements. I cannot tell you how long this road shall be, but fear not the obstacles in your path, for fate has vouchsafed your reward. Though the road may wind, yea, your hearts grow weary, still shall ye follow them, even unto your salvation.
Lt. Aldo Raine:
You know, where I'm from...
Col. Hans Landa:
Yeah, where is that, exactly?
Lt. Aldo Raine:
Maynardville, Tennessee. [pause]
Lt. Aldo Raine:
Up 'ere, when you engage in what the federal government calls "illegal activity" but what we call "a man tryin' to make a livin' for his family sellin' moonshine liquor," it behooves oneself to keep his wits. Long story short, we hear a story too good to be true... it ain't.
Col. Hans Landa:
Sitting in your chair, I would probably say the same thing. And 999 point 999 times out of a million, you would be correct. But in the pages of history, every once in a while, fate reaches out and extends its hand. [pause]
Col. Hans Landa:
What shall the history books read?
Arthur:
[kneeling over Lancelot's body, looking up to the sky] It was my life to be taken! Not this! Never this! [as Bors, Galahad, and Gawain approach, bearing Tristan's body]
Arthur:
My brave knights, I have failed you. I neither took you off this island, nor shared your fate.
Merlin:
[to Arthur] No fate is shared. [to other knights, and more confident]
Merlin:
No fate is shared.
Bors:
They chose their own fate. [turning to Galahad, he spoke more assuredly]
Bors:
As did we all. [quietly, facing Arthur]
Bors:
As did we all. [Arthur's eyes drift to the sword briefly, and back to Lucan who looks down sadly]
Arthur:
One day you'll be strong enough. And you'll come back for it.
Katherine Watson:
There are seven law schools within 45 minutes of Philadelphia. You can study and get dinner on the table by 5:00.
Joan Brandwyn:
It's too late.
Katherine Watson:
No, some of them accept late admissions! Now, I was upset at first, I can tell you that. When Tommy came to me at the dance and told me he was accepted to Penn, I thought, 'Oh God, her fate is sealed! She's worked so hard, how can she throw it all away?' But then I realized you won't have to! You can bake your cake and eat it too! It's just wonderful!
Joan Brandwyn:
We're married. We eloped over the weekend. Turned out he was petrified of a bit ceremony, so we did a sort of spur-of-the-moment thing. Very romantic. [Katherine is stunned]
Joan Brandwyn:
It was my choice, not to go. He would have supported it.
Katherine Watson:
But you don't have to choose!
Joan Brandwyn:
No, I have to. I want a home, I want a family! That's not something I'll sacrifice.
Katherine Watson:
No one's asking you to sacrifice that, Joan. I just want you to understand that you can do both.
Joan Brandwyn:
Do you think I'll wake up one morning and regret not being a lawyer?
Katherine Watson:
Yes, I'm afraid that you will.
Joan Brandwyn:
Not as much as I'd regret not having a family, not being there to raise them. I know exactly what I'm doing and it doesn't make me any less smart. This must seem terrible to you.
Katherine Watson:
I didn't say that.
Joan Brandwyn:
Sure you did. You always do. You stand in class and tell us to look beyond the image, but you don't. To you a housewife is someone who sold her soul for a center hall colonial. She has no depth, no intellect, no interests. You're the one who said I could do anything I wanted. This is what I want.
[first lines]
John Connor:
[voiceover] The future has not been written. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. I wish I could believe that. My name is John Connor, they tried to murder me before I was born, when I was 13 they tried again. Machines from the future. Terminators. All my life my mother told me the storm was coming, Judgment Day, the beginning of the war between man and machines. Three billion lives would vanish in an instant, and I would lead what was left of the human race to ultimate victory. It hasn't happened, no bombs fell, computers didn't take control, we stopped Judgment Day. I should feel safe, but I don't, so I live off the grid - no phone, no address, no one and nothing can find me. I've erased all connections to the past, but as hard as I try I can't erase my dreams, my nightmares.
Narrator (Old Sayuri):
The winter I turned fifteen I saw the chairman again, but that wasn't the only surprise fate brought me that season. Along with the snow came a most unexpected visitor.
Mother:
Why is she here? Chiyo, Chiyo, open the gate! [motioning for her to open the door and straigtening herself before going to her table]
Mameha:
Now that your beloved granny has gone you have no need for a maid.
Mother:
I would never question the great Mameha, but you could choose anyone in the Hanamachi.
Mameha:
You flatter me, truly. [bowering her head in compliment]
Mother:
I would give you my pumpkin if she weren't already tied to Hatsumomo.
Mameha:
Please I would never dream of asking
Mother:
Besides, I can always sell Chiyo to Mrs. Tetsuyo. [smoking her cigerette]
Mameha:
With your eye for beauty and nose for talent,surely you can see what a terrible waste that would be.
Mother:
If you were not the kind hearted Geisha I know you to be, then I might think that you werescheming against Hatsumomo. [looking towards the door where Chiyo and Pumpkin are listening]
Mameha:
Then I'm grateful Mrs. Nita that you don't have a suspicious mind.
Mother:
Perhaps you can pique my interest with... your offer.
Mameha:
I will cover Chiyo's schooling, all her expenses, until after her debut. [proposing as she slides her cup across the table]
Mother:
Now I am confident that you are teasing. [pouring more tea]
Mameha:
I could not be more sincere. If Chiyo has not repaid her debt within six months after her debut.
Mother:
[scoffing] Impossible, too little time!
Mameha:
Then I will pay you twice over. [uping the offer]
Mother:
What...? No Geisha could ever... [pushing the tea towards Mameha]
Mameha:
And I am certain you will not object to one trivial condition.
Mother:
Uh yes...? [puts down pipe, listening intently]
Mameha:
If Chiyo erases her debt in the time allowed, You will not have any part in her future earnings.
Mother:
[smirks in acceptance]
Sam Witwicky:
You won't give me a day, huh? You won't give me one day in college?
Optimus Prime:
I'm sorry, Sam, but the last fragment of the Allspark was stolen.
Sam Witwicky:
Like what? Decepticons stole it?
Optimus Prime:
We placed it under human protection at your government's request... but I'm here for your help, Sam, because your leaders believe we brought vengeance upon your planet. Perhaps they are right. That is why they must be reminded by another human of the trust we share.
Sam Witwicky:
This isn't my war!
Optimus Prime:
Not yet. But I fear it soon will be. Your world must not share the same fate as Cybertron. Whole generations lost...
Sam Witwicky:
I know. And I want to help you, I do, but I am not some alien ambassador, you know? I'm a normal kid with normal problems. I am where I'm supposed to be. I'm sorry, I... I really am...
Optimus Prime:
Sam, fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing.
Sam Witwicky:
You're Optimus Prime. You don't need me. [Sam walks away]
Optimus Prime:
We do, more than you know...
Allan Quartermain:
Well, we were the faster, but now we're the tortoise to his hare.
Dr. Henry Jekyll:
So, we're done?
Tom Sawyer:
No, we're alive. If M has any idea to the contrary, that gives us an edge.
Captain Nemo:
The sea is vast, he could be anywhere.
Tom Sawyer:
Yeah, well, I'm an optimist, now maybe that's a crime to you twisted so-and-so's but it keeps me from going crazy.
Mina Harker:
Your optimism's out of place.
Tom Sawyer:
You're wrong! Because we'll get out, man... at least, I will. That other agent I told you about... was my childhood friend. We were agents together until the Fantom shot him dead. Now you can be done, but I am not. I will avenge his death.
Dr. Henry Jekyll:
It's not about any one of us, Tom, it's bigger than that.
Tom Sawyer:
Yes, it is, Jekyll! The fate for the world is in our hands... the world! So M tricked you, he brought you all together and you walked straight into his trap. But the way that I see it, that's the part he did wrong... He brought you together.
Dr. Henry Jekyll:
He has a point.
Allan Quartermain:
And the boy becomes a man... perhaps a leader of men.
Mina Harker:
And Women.
