Angelina Jolie  - Quotes

 Not many people know this about me but I'm a natural blonde. My hair went from light blonde naturally to a darker kind of blonde. My mother dyed my hair dark when I was a child as I loved the look then. So I'm basically a natural blonde.

[Edward extends his had to shake Bruce's] Mister...?
Edward Nygma:
Ohhhhh... Bruce Wayne.
Bruce Wayne:
No, that's uh, my name. And you are?

Oh! Nygma. Edward... Edward Nygma. You hired me personally. We've never actually met, but you signed the employment form yourself. I have it.

I'm gonna need that hand back, Ed.

[reaches for Nygma's arm] Back to work Edward.

Bruce Wayne:
It's okay.
Edward Nygma:
[pops out with a high-tech contraption] I have it! Voila! Huh? My invention beams any TV signal directly into the human brain. By stimulating the neurons, manipulating brainwaves if you will, this device makes the viewer feel like they're actually inside the show! Why be brutalized by an uncaring world?
Bruce Wayne:
Did you say manipulating brainwaves?
Edward Nygma:
Well... uh... yes.
Bruce Wayne:
Hmmm.
Edward Nygma:
Not that someone like you would need this. Someone so... sophisticated... and intelligent. I just need additional funds and time for human testing. Let me show you, *please!*

Edward Nygma:
[grabs Wayne by the arm] Uhhhhhh... that's not gonna be good for me. I need an answer now. I think I deserve it.
Bruce Wayne:
Well I'm sorry Ed, then the answer's no. Stimulating neurons... tampering with people's brainwaves... it just raises too many questions. I'm sorry. Thanks everybody, factory looks great. Keep up the good work.
Fred Stickley:
Alright, everyone. Back to work. [in Nygma's ear]
Fred Stickley:
We'll discuss this later!
Edward Nygma:
[watching Wayne leave] You were supposed to understand! [pause]
Edward Nygma:
I'll *make* you understand...

Angels in America  - Quotes

 Roy Cohn:
Life is full of horror; nobody escapes, nobody; save yourself. Whatever pulls on you, whatever needs from you, threatens you.

Jackie Brown  - Quotes

 Jackie Brown:
Well, I've flown seven million miles. And I've been waiting on people almost 20 years. The best job I could get after my bust was Cabo Air, which is the worst job you can get in this industry. I make about sixteen thousand, with retirement benefits that ain't worth a damn. And now with this arrest hanging over my head, I'm scared. If I lose my job I gotta start all over again, but I got nothing to start over with. I'll be stuck with whatever I can get. And that shit is scarier than Ordell.
 

God Grew Tired of Us: The Story of Lost Boys of Sudan  - Quotes

 John Bul Dau:
It was as if the last day, as people say in the Bible, that there will be a last day, that Jesus Christ will come, and whatever on Earth will be judged. That was my imagination. I though that God felt tired of people on earth here, felt tired of the bad deeds, the bad thing that we are doing, yet God is watching on us. I thought God got tired of us and he want to finish us. When I think of it back... it was so bad anyway. You can even think of - you can even regret why you were born. Why you were born. Now I wonder, I'm now again wearing clothes, feeling very happy, and so anyway, everything has an end. Has an end. Even if there's problem in Sudan still maybe one time, one day, one minute it will come to an end.

I got what you're looking for.
Vietnamese Artist:
Oh?
Ryan:
Yeah.
Vietnamese Artist:
Okay, and what I do for it?
Ryan:
What?
Vietnamese Artist:
What I do for what I looking for? You tell me now.
Ryan:
Wait, who's this? What number did I call?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, dude. Chill out.
Vietnamese Artist:
No, you don't tell me what to chill. My mother tell me to chill. I sit here, I draw people telling me to chill out all the time. You don't tell me what to chill. I chill you.
 

The Last Days  - Quotes

 
[last lines]
Dr. Randolph Braham:
The Holocaust has to be taught as a chapter in the long history of man's inhumanity to man. One cannot ignore the discrimination inflicted on many people because of race color or creed. One cannot ignore slavery. One cannot ignore the burning of witches. One cannot ignore the killing Christians during the Roman period. The Holocaust perhaps is the culmination of the kind of horror that can occur when man loses his integrity, his belief in the sanctity of human life.
 

The Great Gatsby  - Quotes

 Nick Carraway:
[First lines] [narrating]
Nick Carraway:
In my younger and more vulnerable years, my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since. "Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages you've had." While reserving judgments is a matter of infinite hope, I've come to admit that my tolerance of human behavior has its limits. Gatsby, the man who gives his name to this story, represented everything for which I have an unaffected scorn. And yet there was something gorgeous about him. Some hightened sensitivity to the promises of life, a romantic readiness such as I've never found in any other person and which it is not likely I'll ever find again.
 

He Got Game  - Quotes

 Jesus Shuttlesworth:
God ain't shit!
Jake Shuttlesworth:
Number one, why you gotta use this kinda language? What you some kinda heathen now? You don't make no mistakes? You be out here shootin', but you don't miss no shots ever? EVER? People make mistakes! People veer off the path! God forgives them!
Jesus Shuttlesworth:
Has God forgiven you for killing my mother?
Jake Shuttlesworth:
I pray that he has, Son. I believe he has. When will you?
 

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets  - Quotes

 Hermione:
He called me a mudblood.
Hagrid:
He did not!
Harry:
What's a mudblood?
Hermione:
It means dirty blood. Mudblood's a really foul name for someone who's muggle born. Someone with non-magic parents. Someone like me. It's not a term one usually hears in civilized conversation.
Hagrid:
See the thing is, Harry, there's some wizards, like the Malfoy family, who think they're better than everyone else because they're what people call "pure blood."
Harry:
That's horrible!
Ron:
[burps up another slug] It's disgusting.
Hagrid:
And it's codswallop to boot. "Dirty blood." Why, there isn't a wizard alive today that's not half-blood or less. More to the point, they've yet to think of a spell that our Hermione can't do. Come 'ere. Don't you think on it, Hermione. Don't you think on it for one minute.
 

Alexander  - Quotes

 
[after reading a letter sent by his mother]
Alexander:
It's a high ransom she charges for nine months lodging in the womb.
Hephaistion:
Bring her to Babylon, Alexander. It'll give her such joy.
Alexander:
Joy! I am the cracked mirror of her dreams... Stay with me tonight Hephaistion.
Hephaistion:
What bothers you?
Alexander:
I see in her everything I fear. Yet I have no idea what it is; this fear. She was always so sure I was born of Zeus. Why, Hephaistion?
Hephaistion:
I think there are things beyond our imagining. Like the lightening. Tales of strange conceptions. I don't doubt it.
Alexander:
What is being told me? What destiny do I have?
Hephaistion:
Well, if I'm Patroclus, I die first. Then you, Achilles. The generals are upset. They question your obsession with Darius. They say it was never meant for you to be king of Asia.
Alexander:
Naturally. They want only to return to their homes rich with gold, but I have seen the future, Hephaistion! I've seen it now a thousand times, on a thousand faces. These people want, need, change. Aristotle was wrong about them.
Hephaistion:
How so?
Alexander:
Look at those we've conquered. They leave their dead unburied, they smash their enemies skulls and drink them as dust, they mate in public! How can they think, or sing, or write when none can read? But as Alexander's army they could go where they never thought possible. They can soldier, or work in the cities. From the Alexandrias, from Egypt to the outer ocean. We could connect these lands, Hephaistion. And the people.
Hephaistion:
Some say these Alexandrias have become extensions of Alexander himself. They draw people into the cities so as to make slaves.
Alexander:
But we've freed them, Hephaistion, from the Persias, where everyone lived as slaves! To free the people of the world! Such would be beyond the glory of Achilles. Beyond Heracles! A feat to rival Prometheus, who was always a friend to man.
Hephaistion:
Remember the fates of these heroes. They suffered, greatly.
Alexander:
We all suffer. Your father, mine. They all came to the end of their time and in the end, when it's over, all that matters is what you've done.
Hephaistion:
You once said the fear of death drives all men. Are there no other forces? Is there not love in your life, Alexander? What would you do if you ever reached the end of the world? I wonder sometimes, if it's not your mother you run from, so many years, so many miles between you, what is it you fear?
Alexander:
Who knows these things? When I was a child my mother thought me divine; my father, weak. Which am I, Hephaistion? Weak or divine? All I know is I trust only you in this world. I've missed you. I need you. It is you I love, Hephaistion. No other.
Hephaistion:
You still hold you head cocked like that.
Alexander:
[laughing] I have to stop that.
Hephaistion:
No, like a dear listening in the wind you strike me still, Alexander. You have eyes like no other. I sound as stupid as a school boy, but you're everything I care for. And by the sweet breath of Aphrodite I'm so jealous of losing you to this world you want so badly.
Alexander:
You'll never lose me, Hephaistion. I'll be with you always. 'Til the end.
 

Fireproof  - Quotes

 Michael Simmons:
40 days? Does Catherine know?
Caleb Holt:
I'm not gonna tell her. If she wants to go ahead and file, it's up to her.
Michael Simmons:
Divorce is a hard thing, man.
Caleb Holt:
Well, if it brings peace...
Michael Simmons:
But Caleb, you want the right kind of peace.
Caleb Holt:
What do you mean by that?
Michael Simmons:
You know what that ring on your finger means?
Caleb Holt:
It means I'm married.
Michael Simmons:
Yeah, well, it also means you made a lifelong covenant. You putting on that ring, by saying your vows. The sad part about it is when most people promise for better or for worse, they really only mean for the better.

Catherine and I were in love when we got married. Today, we're two very different people. All right? It's just not working out anymore.
Michael Simmons:
Caleb, salt and pepper are completely different. Their makeup is different; their taste and their color. But you always see 'em together. And when you... Hang on a second. [Michael glues a salt and pepper shaker together]
Caleb Holt:
What are you doing? Michael, what did you do that for?
Michael Simmons:
Caleb, when two people get married; it's for better or for worse, for richer or for poor, in sickness and in health.
Caleb Holt:
I know that. But marriages aren't fireproof. Sometimes you get burned.
Michael Simmons:
Fireproof doesn't mean a fire will never come, but that when it comes you'll be able to withstand it.
Caleb Holt:
You didn't have to glue them together. [Caleb picks up the shakers and starts trying to force them apart]
Michael Simmons:
Don't do it, Caleb. If you pull them apart now, you'll break either one or both of them.
Caleb Holt:
I am not a perfect person, but better than most. And if my marriage is failing, it is not all my fault.
Michael Simmons:
But Caleb, man, I've seen you run into a burning building to save people you don't even know. But you're gonna let your own marriage just burn to the ground.
Caleb Holt:
Michael, you are my friend. And I have allowed you to speak freely to me on this job. Don't abuse it.

All right.
Christopher Gardner:

Angels in America  - Quotes

 Prior Walter:
But still. Still bless me anyway. I want more life. I can't help myself. I do. I've lived through such terrible times and there are people who live through much worse. But you see them living anyway. When they're more spirit than body, more sores than skin, when they're burned and in agony, when flies lay eggs in the corners of the eyes of their children - they live. Death usually has to take life away. I don't know if that's just the animal. I don't know if it's not braver to die, but I recognize the habit; the addiction to being alive. So we live past hope. If I can find hope anywhere, that's it, that's the best I can do. It's so much not enough. It's so inadequate. But still bless me anyway. I want more life. And if he comes back, take him to court. He walked out on us, he oughta pay.
 

The Day After Tomorrow  - Quotes

 Parker:
I know you have an innate talent for rubbing people the wrong way, Jack, but why for the Love of God would you aggravate the Vice President?
Jack Hall:
Because my seventeen year old kid knows more science than he does.
Parker:
Perhaps, but your seventeen year old kid doesn't control our budget. It doesn't matter if HE hates you.
Jack Hall:
My son doesn't hate me.
 

Real Time with Bill Maher  - Quotes

 George Carlin:
Jim, Jim, calm down, calm down. You began a sentence a little while ago with 'It shouldn't be a surprise'. It shouldn't be a surprise that rich, white men don't care about poor, black people, period. So they're not high on the list.
Jim Glassman:
George, I love you, George, but that's nonsense.
George Carlin:
I don't care if you love me or not. They're not high on the conscious or the subconscious list of those people how are in charge of things in this country, the owners. Forget these foolish elections. The owners of this country don't care about the poor, in general.
Jim Glassman:
The owners of this country? What is this, Karl Marx talking to me? The owners of this country are the voters of this country.
George Carlin:
No, you're wrong about that, my friend. You're absolutely wrong.
Jim Glassman:
Aren't the owners of this country are the voters of this country who elected George Bush?
George Carlin:
No, no, they're not. Listen, these elections are a charade, they're a charade...
Jim Glassman:
[sarcastically] Oh, okay.
George Carlin:
I'll tell you, listen, just listen for a minute and learn a little something! Elections and politicians are in place in order to give Americans the ILLUSION that they have freedom of choice. You don't really have choice in this country.
 

Angels in America  - Quotes

 Harper:
In your experience of the world. How do people change?
Mormon Mother:
Well it has something to do with God so it's not very nice. God splits the skin with a jagged thumbnail from throat to belly and then plunges a huge filthy hand in, he grabs hold of your bloody tubes and they slip to evade his grasp but he squeezes hard, he insists, he pulls and pulls till all your innards are yanked out and the pain! We can't even talk about that. And then he stuffs them back, dirty, tangled and torn. It's up to you to do the stitching.
Harper:
And then up you get. And walk around.
Mormon Mother:
Just mangled guts pretending.
Mormon Mother:
That's how people change.

Kalifornia  - Quotes

 Adele Corners:
Will you tell me more about California?
Early Grayce:
Yeah, I guess so. Let's see. One thing, people think faster out there on the account of all that warm weather. Cold weather makes people stupid. That's a fact.
Adele Corners:
I guess that explains why there's so many stupid people around here.
Early Grayce:
It sure does. You know what else? You never have to buy no fruit on account it's all on the trees everywhere you turn. And they ain't got no speed limits. I hear your first month's rent is free, state law. So I'm thinking till we get settled we'll just move around from month to month. How will that be with you, momma?
Adele Corners:
What are we going to do out there, Early?
Early Grayce:
By God the first thing we're going to do is get us ! a couple of six-packs of Lucky Lager and we're going to climb up to that famous Hollywood sign. We're going to howl at the moon, goddamn it. [howls]
Early Grayce:
Yeah, just like that.
Adele Corners:
I heard once that there ain't nothing on that old moon except some little golf balls the astronauts left behind.
Early Grayce:
Nah, that ain't right. That's bullshit. The government be sending people there all the time. Just don't want us to know about it.

Adaptation.  - Quotes

 
[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.
 

Religulous  - Quotes

 Bill Maher:
The plain fact is religion must die for mankind to live. The hour is getting very late to be able to indulge in having key decisions made by religious people - by irrationalists - by those who would steer the ship of state, not by a compass, but by the equivalent of reading the entrails of a chicken.

Batman Forever  - Quotes

 Bruce Wayne:
"We're 5 little items of an everyday sort. You'll find us all in a tennis court". In... A-E-I-O-U. Vowels.
Alfred Pennyworth:
Not entirely unclever, sir, but what do a clock, a match, chess pawns, and vowels have in common? What do these riddles mean?
Bruce Wayne:
Every riddle has a number in the question and they arrived at this order: 13, 1, 8, and 5.
Alfred Pennyworth:
13, 1, 8, and 5. What do they mean?
Bruce Wayne:
Perhaps letters of the alphabet?
Alfred Pennyworth:
Of course, 13 is M.
Bruce Wayne:
1 would be A, 8 would be H, and 5 would be E.
Alfred Pennyworth:
M-A-H-E.
Bruce Wayne:
Perhaps 1 and 8 are 18.
Alfred Pennyworth:
18 is R. M-R-E.
Bruce Wayne:
How about Mr. E.?
Alfred Pennyworth:
Mystery.
Bruce Wayne:
And another name for mystery?
Alfred Pennyworth:
Enigma.
Bruce Wayne:
Mr. E. Nygma. Edward Nygma. Stickley's suicide was obviously a computer-generated forgery.
Alfred Pennyworth:
You really are quite bright, despite what people say.

Kissing Jessica Stein  - Quotes

 Jessica:
You don't appreciate the chaos and absurdity of life on this planet. You don't understand irony, or ethnicity, or eccentricity, or poetry, or the simple joy of being a regular at the diner on your block. I love that. You don't drink coffee or alcohol. You don't over eat. You don't cry when you're alone. You don't understand sarcasm. You plod through life in a neat, colorless, caffeine free, dairy free, conflict free way. I'm bold and angry and tortured and tremendous and I notice when someone has changed their hair part, or when someone is wearing two very distinctly different shades of black or when someone changes the natural temperment of their voice on the phone. I don't give out empty praise. I'm not complacent or well-adjusted. I can't spend fifteen minutes breathing and stretching and getting in touch with myself. I can't spend three minutes finishing an article. I check my answering machine nine times every day and I can't sleep at night because I feel that there is so much to do and fix and change in the world, and I wonder every day if I am making a difference and if I will ever express the greatness within me, or if I will remain forever paralyzed by muddled madness inside my head. I've wept on every birthday I've ever had because life is huge and fleeting and I hate certain people and certain shoes and I feel that life is terribly unfair and sometimes beautiful and wonderful and extraordinary but also numbing and horrifying and insurmountable and I hate myself a lot of the time. The rest of the time I adore myself and I adore my life in this city and in this world we live in. This huge and wondrous, bewildering, brilliant, horrible world.
 

Saw IV  - Quotes

 Jigsaw:
I forgive you Cecil. I do, but addiction has ruined your life.
Cecil:
I'm bleeding man. Please just let me go.
Jigsaw:
I could let you go, but that wouldn't serve you. I'll tell you what I will do though. I will give you a tool to reclaim your life, and to discard the vices that have corrupted your soul.
Cecil:
I don't have a fucking soul.
Jigsaw:
Maybe you will in the next life. You see things aren't sequential. Good doesn't lead to good nor bad to bad. People steal, don't get caught. Live the good life. Others lie, cheat and get elected. Some people stop to help a stranded motorist and get taken out by a speeding semi. There's no accounting for it. How you play the cards you're dealt, that's all that matters.
 

Wristcutters: A Love Story  - Quotes

 
[At night, after searching all day for the way to Messiah Kings, Zia and Mikal suddenly come upon what appears to be an ocean]
Zia:
Holy shit. [They stop in astonishment and he looks at her]
Zia:
Let's go. How come no one in camp mentioned the beach is so close?
Mikal:
Maybe they don't know. Maybe we're the only ones who know. [They make their way down and start to pick their way along the rocky shore. Romantic music starts to play and she look his way]
Mikal:
Hi.
Zia:
Hi. You remember the other day when you were talking about missing things from life and, uh... and how you wanted to go back and I told you I didn't miss anything?
Mikal:
Yeah.
Zia:
Well... when I'm here... with you, I kind of miss myself the way I used to be.
Mikal:
What were you like? I was... I was happy at a time. Obviously before I came here, but...
Mikal:
Yeah.
Mikal:
something about being here with you reminds me of that. It's just, I don't know, it's just weird to me that you can feel that in a place like this. We're all... We're all dead.
Mikal:
You know what? Most of the people that I knew before I got here were either half dead or just completely dead already. You know, completely dead. And you're doing pretty good, Zia.
Zia:
You think so?
Mikal:
Yeah, definitely. [Long awkward silence follows and they look at each other. Zia finally leans in to kiss her and they make out. We see a shot of light reflecting off the water and then see, in the daylight, the two of them, still full clothed, spooning together on the rocks. The camera starts to pull back and we notice unused condoms in various colors as well as used syringes strewn all over the place with discarded beer bottles]
Kneller:
[We hear shouting from afar] Zia! Mikal!
Zia:
[groggily, just starting to move] Kneller. Freaking out. [He looks up and around as she see Kneller approaching]
Zia:
Fuck. Fuck! Mik, get up. [They are both startled by their surroundings]
Zia:
Oh, my God. Oh, God.
Kneller:
Zia. There they are. I've just been worried sick about you.
Zia:
[to Mikal] Careful. Careful. Don't step on it. Put your shoes on.
Kneller:
I hope you didn't sleep *here.*
Zia:
Well, yeah.
Kneller:
Ah! This is where intravenous drug users and prostitutes congregated. It was too revolting for them. Can we get the hell out of here?
 

Coach Carter  - Quotes

 Timo Cruz:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Jake Sully:

Neytiri:

Jake Sully:
Fine. If you loved your little forest friends... why not let them kill me? What's the thinking?
Neytiri:
Why save you?
Jake Sully:
Yeah, why save me?
Neytiri:
You have a strong heart. No fear. But stupid! Ignorant like a child! [Neytiri walks away and Jake follows after her]
Jake Sully:
Well, if I'm like a child, then maybe you should teach me.
Neytiri:
Sky People can not learn, you do not see.
Jake Sully:
Then teach me how to see.
Neytiri:
No one can teach you to see.

King Arthur  - Quotes

 
[first lines]
Lancelot:
[voiceover] By 300 AD, the Roman Empire extended from Arabia to Britain. But they wanted more. More land. More peoples loyal and subservient to Rome. But no people so important as the powerful Sarmatians to the east. Thousands died on that field. And when the smoke cleared on the fourth day, the only Sarmatian soldiers left alive were members of the decimated but legendary cavalry. The Romans, impressed by their bravery and horsemanship, spared their lives. In exchange, these warriors were incorporated into the Roman military. Better they had died that day.
Young Lancelot:
Father. They are here.
Lancelot:
For the second part of the bargain they struck indebted not only themselves...
Lancelot's Father:
The day has come.
Lancelot:
...but also their sons, and their sons, and so on, to serve the empire as knights. I was such a son.

Angels in America  - Quotes

 Joe Pitt:
I think we ought to pray. Ask God for help. Ask him together.
Harper Pitt:
God won't talk to me. I have to make up people to talk to me.
Joe Pitt:
You have to keep asking.
Harper Pitt:
I forgot the question?... Oh, yeah. God, is my husband a homo?
Joe Pitt:
Stop it! Stop it! I'm warning you! Does it make any difference that I might be one thing deep within? No matter how wrong or ugly that thing is so long as I have fought with everything I have to kill it? What do you want from me? What do you want from me Harper, more than that? For God's sake, there's nothing left. I'm a shell. There's nothing left to kill. As long as my behaviour is what I know it has to be, decent, correct that alone in the eyes of God.

No... Yes... No... Yes... Get away from me. Now we both have a secret.
 

The Sum of All Fears  - Quotes

 Dressler:
Most people believe the twentieth century was defined by the death struggle of communism versus capitalism, and that fascism was but a hiccup. Today we know better. Communism was a fool's errand, the followers of Marx gone from this Earth; but the followers of Hitler abound and thrive.
 

Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple  - Quotes

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past  - Quotes

Someone once told me that the power in all relationships lies with whoever cares less, and he was right. But power isn't happiness, and I think that maybe happiness comes from caring more about people rather than less...
 

Before Sunrise  - Quotes

 Jesse:
I know what you mean about wishing somebody wasn't there, though. It's just usually it's myself that I wish I could get away from. Seriously, think about this. I have never been anywhere that I haven't been. I've never had a kiss when I wasn't one of the kissers. Y'know, I've never, um, gone to the movies, when I wasn't there in the audience. I've never been out bowling, if I wasn't there, y'know making some stupid joke. I think that's why so many people hate themselves. Seriously, it's just they are sick to death of being around themselves.
Jesse:
Let's say that you and I were together all the time, then you'd start to hate a lot of my mannerisms. The way every time we would have people over, uh, I'd be insecure, and I'd get a little too drunk. Or, uh, the way I'd tell the same stupid pseudo-intellectual story again, and again. Y'see, I've heard all those stories. So of course I'm sick of myself. But being with you, uh, it's made me feel like I'm somebody else.
 

Cinderella Man  - Quotes

 Jimmy Johnston:
Right here. Editorial says this fight is good as murder, and everybody associated with it should be hauled into court and prosecuted afterwords. They say the paper's gettin' all sorts of letters from people saying you're their inspiration - like you saved their lives or somethin'. If you ask me, it's a lotta crap... but if I'm gonna promote this fight, I'm not gettin' hung out to dry if somethin' happens to you.
Joe Gould:
[sarcastically] Ah, you're all heart.
Jimmy Johnston:
My heart's for my family, Joe, my brains and my balls are for business and this is business. You got me?
Joe Gould:
Gotcha.
 

The Fourth Kind  - Quotes

 
[first lines]
Abbey Tyler:
I'm actress Milla Jovovich, and I will be portraying Dr. Abigail Tyler in The Fourth Kind. This film is a dramatization of events that occurred October 1st through the 9th of 2000, in the Northern Alaskan town of Nome. To better explain the events of this story, the director has included actual archived footage throughout the film. This footage was acquired from Nome psychologist Dr. Abigail Tyler, who has personally documented over 65 hours of video and audio materials during the time of the incidents. To better protect their privacy, we have changed the names and professions of many of the people involved. Every dramatized scene in this movie is supported by either archived audio, video or as it was related by Dr. Tyler during extensive interviews with the director. In the end, what you believe is yours to decide. Please be advised, that some of what you're about to see is extremely disturbing.

Love and a Bullet  - Quotes

 Malik Bishop:
[narrating] My name is Malik Bishop and I'm a professional hitman. Mm-hmm. See up until a month ago I was the hardest, coldest bastard to screw a silencer on a pistol. Now you're probably thinking, what kind of moral existence is that... professional hitman? Well, the way I see it the world is full of people that quite frankly we all could do without. Some argue that I'm one of those people. But I digress. I'm what you call a custodian of anthropoligical affairs, meaning I kill motherfuckers that are worthless.

Complex World  - Quotes

 Tilman Gandy Jr.:
And the Lord God looked down on the face of the earth and behold anguish and trouble and the Lord God said "there's nothing down here except burglars, murders, rapists, drug pushers, pimps, gambles. Noah build me an ark." "Yes, lord how do you want it?" "Build it in the fashion that I tell you. Make it as long as a football field." "Got it." "Make it three stories tall." "Got it, anything else Lord?""Yes, I want you to gather all the animals of the earth and bring them in two by two and put them in to the ark..."... Now here come the sinners knockin' on the door. "Hey Noah let us in!" "Sorry can't let you in." "Come on it's me Thomas Richards!" "Yeah open that door its Peter Rogers!" "You see the lord has taken away all evil from me. Your no good. Away you bastard!" The water arose and lifted the ship up. And you know what happened to the people on the earth? They drowned like trapped rats. And where was Noah? On the Ark eating fried chicken, potato salad with pickles and Pepsi-Cola. Look out!
 

The Holiday  - Quotes

 Amanda:
Okay, let's say we just make this happen. We each commit to flying back and forth as much as we can.
Graham:
Yes! It's doable, definitely.
Amanda:
And then let's say in 6 months we hit a wall. Like I can't constantly be away from work or the girls can't deal with you leaving so often. Then we start to feel the tension, we know this isn't going to work, so we start fighting because we don't know what else to do. And after a long, tearful- at your end...
Graham:
I like it [sarcastically]
Graham:
.
Amanda:
-phone call we say goodbye. And that'll be it, for real. It's not like we're ever going to bump into each other. And then what's left? Two miserable people feeling totally mashed up it hurts. Or...
Graham:
Thank you.
Amanda:
Or maybe we should just realize that what we've had these past few weeks has been perfect. And maybe it won't get any better than this. And maybe we're trying to figure this thing out because it makes us feel so good to feel this way, and maybe the fact that I'm leaving in 8 hours makes this far more exciting than it might actually be.
Graham:
You're seriously the most depressing girl I have ever met.
 

The Ballad of the Sad Cafe  - Quotes

 Mary Hale:
Marvin changed himself. That time he loved Miss Amelia. Well, it seemed like he changed completely -- he was -- he was good to me, and to Henry... You remember that, doncha'?
Rev. Willin:
I remember that.
Mary Hale:
Why'd she throw him out? Why'd she marry him and then throw him out? Why?
Rev. Willin:
I don't know. All I know is... that it takes two people to be in love. It takes the... lover... and the beloved. But these two, they come from... diff'rent countries. And sometimes, the... the belove is the cause for all the, all the stored-up love that's lain in the heart of the lover for such... a looong time, and every lover knows that... deep... deep in his soul, he knows that his love is a lonely and solitary thing -- [sad chuckle]
Rev. Willin:
-- and the funny thing is, the object of that love... can be anybody, and it just don't... matter one whit. [shakes head]
Rev. Willin:
That's why I guess most of us, we'd rather be... the lover than to be loved, I mean, because the state of bein'... beloved is... is intolerable. See an' then, after a while... the beloved gets to hate the lover, because the lover's always trying to strip, strip, strip baaare... the beloved. See, that's because the... the lover... 'e craves that love -- even though he knows that that love can only cause 'im pain.
 

The Brothers Grimm  - Quotes

Jacob Grimm:
Shut up, Will!
Will Grimm:
Angelika, do what your father wanted: leave the village now.
Angelika:
No, Will. I'm gonna find my sisters.
Jacob Grimm:
Will doesn't care about them. Will doesn't care about anything but himself!
Will Grimm:
This isn't a fairy tale. They are not coming back!
Jacob Grimm:
This is not your world, Will! [to Angelika]

Monster  - Quotes

 Selby:
We can be as different as we wanna be, but you can't kill people!
Aileen:
SAYS WHO? I'm good with the Lord. I'm fine with him. And I know how you were raised, alright? And I know how people fuckin' think out there, and fuck, it's gotta be that way. They've gotta tell you that 'Thou shall not kill' shit and all of that. But that's not the way the world works, Selby. Cuz I'm out there every fuckin' day living it. Who the fuck knows what God wants? People kill each other every day and for what? Hm? For politics, for religion, and THEY'RE HEROES! No, no... there's a lot of shit I can't do anymore, but killing's not one of them. And letting those fucking bastards go out and rape someone else isn't either!
 

The September Issue  - Quotes

 Anna Wintour:
I think what i often see it that people are frighteened about fashion. Because it scares them or make them feel insecure they just put it down. On the whole people that may say, the meanny things about our world I think that's usually because they feel, in some ways, excluded or, you know, not a part of 'the cool group' so as a result they just mock it.
Anna Wintour:
Just because you like to put on a beautiful Carolina Herrera dress or a pair of J Brand blue jeans instead of something basic from K-Mart it doesn't mean that you're a dumb person.
Anna Wintour:
There is something about fashion that can make people really nervous.
