Dick Goodwin: Hey, you don't have to be a genius to connect the dots. Charles Van Doren: Well, don't connect them through me. Dick Goodwin: Hey, don't treat me like some member of your goddamn fan club. Are you telling me everybody got the answers but you? Charles Van Doren: You're so persistent, Dick. You know, I really envy that. Dick Goodwin: Was it just the money, Charlie? Charles Van Doren: You'll forgive me, but anyone who thinks money is ever "just money" couldn't have much of it. Dick Goodwin: Charlie, you wanna insult me, fine, but you can't envy me at the same time.
Daniel: She's going to say her final words, not through me, but inevitably, and ever so coolly... through the immortal genius of the Bay City Rollers.
Elizabeth: Can I help you? Will Darcy: [curtly] I doubt it. Elizabeth: Oh - you're from England. My ancestors came from Hertford - Will Darcy: [cuts her off] Charming. [beat] Will Darcy: Okay, I'm looking for a book on writing by Kierkegaard - K - I - E - Elizabeth: [cuts him off] Kierkegaard, the father of existentialism. You're in "Landscape Gardening". Will Darcy: Oh, really... [picks a couple books from the shelf] Will Darcy: I had no idea that Mark Twain's genius extended to gardening. Or... Dr. Phil's. Elizabeth: [curtly] "Philosophy" is two aisles over. Help yourself!
Ned Alleyn: Pay attention and you will see how genius creates a legend.
Narrator: Just because you're a genius doesn't mean you're a smart guy.
Host: Something happened in the world that was a bright piece of hope for man. Such a thing occurs every few hundred, or a thousand years. Some genius rises, and man takes a new step toward a better life, a better culture. There is a difference with Dianetics and Scientology. *It* has *never* happened before, in all the countless years of time. In this brief moment, we have our temporary chance for handling and continuing life. Clouds loom over this culture and planet. In this short interval, in this one place, we have our freedom before us. We *can* arise above the decay - the final flash that will inevitably extinguish this planet. It is not our mission to save it. It is our mission to free you. You are an immortal being. Your life will not halt because this planet halts. You can go on. Now we could play this very low-key. We could sort of giggle and say, "We can help you a little to lead a slightly happier life." Yes, we could say that. Stating that, if you cooperated, we could make you more cheerful. But that would be like offering someone a diamond, and saying it was glass. Right this instant, you are at the threshold of your next trillion years. You will live it in shivering agonized darkness, or you will live it triumphantly in the light; the choice is yours, not ours. If you, this minute, say, "I will, for better or for worse, go on in Scientology," you will open the door to your own future. If you say otherwise, you slam tomorrow shut in your own face. I'm sorry, but that's the way it really is.
Darien Fawkes: A lady once asked famous painter and momma's boy James Whistler if he thought genius was hereditary. His answer was basically, 'I don't know. Never had any kids.'
Walt Berkman: It's Welles' masterpiece, really. Many people think it's Citizen Kane, but Magnificent Ambersons, if it hadn't been ruined by the studio, would've been his crowning achievement. As it is, it's still brilliant. It's the old story, genius not being recognized by the industry. Lance: It sounds great. Who's in it? Walt Berkman: Orson Welles? I don't know, I haven't seen it yet. I've seen stills.
Elliot Carver: The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.
Dr. Evil: The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.
[from trailer] Carlo: [to Tetro] There's room for only one genius in this family...
Will Sherman: Once upon a time there lived a young man who aimed to please. He believed what was preached to him, did what he was told, and slaved day and night to win approval. But when he dared to think for himself, he was outcast, and it was a long and painful fall. Then one day, he had an earth-shattering revelation - a truth that would define his life - genius is never appreciated.
Darien Fawkes: There's an old saying: "Every man is a genius until he opens his mouth." I decided to save Hobbes the trouble.
Alfred: You don't have to be a genius to figure out they going to come after you for this. Tristan: Yeah. Alfred? Alfred: Yeah? Tristan: I want to ask you to watch over my children. Watch over Samuel. Alfred: Brother, it will be an honor.
Sergeant Horvath: Stars. Lieutenant Dewindt: Yeah, Brigadier General Amend, deputy commander, 101st. Some fucking genius had the great idea of welding a couple of steel plates onto our deck to keep the general safe from ground fire. Unfortunately, they forgot to tell me about it until we were just getting airborne. Well, that's like trying to fly a freight train. OK? Gross overload. Trim characteristics all shot to hell. I nearly broke both my arms trying to keep her level. And when- and when we released, you know I cut as hard as I could, tried to gain some altitude and still keep her from stalling. We came down like a fucking meteor. And that is how we ended up. And the others, they stopped easy enough OK, though, you know? We were just-we were just too damn heavy, you know? The grass was wet, downward slope and all. 22 guys dead. Captain Miller: All that for a general? Lieutenant Dewindt: One man. Private Reiben: Lot of that going around.
Bugs Raplin: The reason that Iran-Contra happened is because nobody did anything substantial about Watergate. And the reason that Watergate happened is that there were no consequences from the Bay of Pigs. They are all the same operatives, didn't you notice? The foot soldiers in the Bay of Pigs, the plumbers that got busted at Watergate, the gunrunners in Iran contra: they are all the same people. The same faces. Now it doesn't take a genius to make the connection here. A secret government beyond the control of the people and accountable to no-one. And the closer we are to discovering the connection, the more the Congress turns a blind eye to it. "We can't talk about that in open session!" they say. "National security reasons". The truth lies dormant in their laps and they stay blind out of choice. A conspiracy of silence.
Sol Robeson: Have you met Archimedes? The one with the black spots, you see? You remember Archimedes of Syracuse, eh? The king asks Archimedes to determine if a present he's received is actually solid gold. Unsolved problem at the time. It tortures the great Greek mathematician for weeks - insomnia haunts him and he twists and turns in his bed for nights on end. Finally, his equally exhausted wife - she's forced to share a bed with this genius - convinces him to take a bath to relax. While he's entering the tub, Archimedes notices the bath water rise. Displacement, a way to determine volume, and that's a way to determine density - weight over volume. And thus, Archimedes solves the problem. He screams "Eureka" and he is so overwhelmed he runs dripping naked through the streets to the king's palace to report his discovery.
[about Fred] Bud Nesbitt: Only a complete genius or a total fool could ever pull this off. Lucky for us he's both.
Tina: What's gonna happen to the act? Delores: What do you mean "what's gonna happen to the act"? You're gonna get somebody else, it's not a big loss. Tina: But you pick all the music, you tell us where to stand and everything. Delores: Yeah, I'm a real genius, I'm a real genius and that's why we're packing 'em in and don't you pack any more of my make-up in that bag, don't think I don't see what you're doing.
Duck: You know, when you think about it, the whole thing is fucking ridiculous. Simon: Why? I could very well be CIA. Duck: You can't even spell CIA. Simon: Every fucking CIA guy I know looks exactly like *me*. Duck: Yeah, only better-looking. Benjamin: Well, they certainly do not look like me. Simon: And that is the genius of it! Of course, the CIA would have someone who doesn't *look* CIA! That's exactly what they would do.
Beatrix: There's a fine line between genius and insanity.
