General Brown: So they started doing psy-research because they thought we were doing psy-research, when in fact we weren't doing psy-research? Brigadier General Dean Hopgood: Yes sir. But now that they *are* doing psy-research, we're gonna have to do psy-research, sir. [leans forward] Brigadier General Dean Hopgood: We can't afford to have the Russian's leading the field in the paranormal.
Dr. Guy Luthan: [is speaking on phone] Judith, it's Guy. Listen. I've been shot. Listen, they're hijacking people from the hospital and using them as some sort of research... I'm pretty sure that's what Triphase is, it's a kind of research program and someone at Grammercy is working for them! Listen, there's a cop, called Stone, call him, he might believe me, Judith please pick up...
Dr. Weir: What was made public about the Event Horizon - that she was a deep space research vessel, that her reactor went critical, and that the ship blew up - none of that is true. The Event Horizon is the culmination of a secret government project to create a spacecraft capable of faster-than-light flight. Smith: Uhm, excuse me. See, you can't actually do that.
Raleigh: [after reading a private investigator's research on Margot background, which includes being adopted, a previous marriage, several one-night stands with other men, and a lesbian affair] So, she smokes.
Alexandra Amberson: Where's Wendy? The Djinn: Bedroom. But I wouldn't go in there if I were you. Messy. I needed her face. Alexandra Amberson: You killed her. The Djinn: Actually, I can't kill anyone. Not unless they wish me to. Your research should have told you that. Alexandra Amberson: She didn't wish to be dead, you lying sack of shit! The Djinn: I showed her my true face. Her reaction wasn't very flattering. As a matter of fact, she got downright hysterical! I merely asked if she wished to be released from her fear. You're a dangerous person to know, Alexandra. Your scientist friend, your boss, the policeman, Wendy. By the by-where is that tasty little sister of yours today? [licks upper lip slowly]
Claire Wellington: I was the world's foremost brain surgeon and genetic engineer. I had top-secret contracts with the Pentagon, Apple and Mattel. I was driven. Exhausted. Until late one night, I came home to find... [stunned] Claire Wellington: Mike... with Patricia. My brilliant... blond... 21-year-old research assistant. It was all so... [in a deep manly voice] Claire Wellington: ... ugly. [Continues in a disconnectedly happy voice] Claire Wellington: Then early the next morning, as I gazed across the breakfast table at their lifeless bodies, I thought... "What have I done?" But more importantly... what could I do to make the world more beautiful?
[On smoking] Ishmael: You should try to quit. They say its bad for your heart, your lungs. It quickens the aging process. Roy: Who's done more research than the good people at the American Tobacco Industry? They say its harmless. Why would they lie? If you're dead, you can't smoke.
Tom Manning: Let me tell you - let me tell you something about the Bureau of... Television Host: Paranormal Research and Defense. Tom Manning: ...of Paranormal Research and Defense: there is no such thing. [cut to BPRD headquarters in New Jersey]
Micah: Well, basically it could be two things: it could be a ghost... [mock whisper] Micah: or it could be a demon. Katie: Dr. Fredrichs said that it wasn't a ghost. Micah: Well, I've been going by the evidence and I'm doin' my research and I'm going to find out what it is. Katie: Well, whatever it is that's following me, it doesn't feel... it doesn't feel human. It feels like it's... it feels like a monster. I mean like, it wants to hurt me. Micah: Well that sounds like, actually like a demon. Katie: Yeah, that's what he said. Micah: Well, 'cause ghosts are spirits of human beings. Katie: Yeah, it's definitely not human. Micah: Then maybe you're right, which is bad 'cause demons suck.
[first lines] Evan: Yo. Seth: Hey, man, I was doing some research for next year and I think I figured out which website I wanna subscribe to. The Vag-Tastic Voyage.
Rex: [Matt pulls a gun out of the package] I know what this means. I know... fucking cocksuckers. [looks at the camera] Rex: I know what this means, fuck you. Do your fucking research okay, 'cos him doing that to himself was the best thing that ever fucking happened to me. Fuck you. [looks back at the others] Rex: What? Matt: [indicating the gun] I'll put this out of harm's way. [goes over to Rex] Matt: Come on, lets go upstairs. Rex: What? They think they can fuck with me now? Charlie: His dad, right?
Alistair Hennessey: They made soup out of my research turtles.
Robert McNamara: [referring to auto accident research at Cornell Aeronautical Lab] They said "the main problem is packaging." They said "you buy eggs and you know how eggs come in a carton?" [... ] Robert McNamara: So Cornell said "they don't break because they're packaged properly. Now if we package people in cars the same way, we could reduce the breakage."
Saul: So, do you have any family? Lucy: My mom died when I was really little and a couple of years ago my dad got sick so we moved from Indiana so he could go to research hospital. Saul: Research. Another word for very expensive. Lucy: Yeah, I had to quit school and I started working for the CTA and about a year ago he decided he had had enough research and he passed away.
Jay Sherman: Well, here's what I think... [Jay's interrupted by Duke] Duke Phillips: Sorry, son, our research shows that people don't care what you think. They just tune in for the funny clips.
Scooter: Uh, ladies and gentlemen, if you could just step as far forward and close together as you can. Rizzo the Rat: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, real close. You see, we're doing research on deodorant strength. Scooter: Rizzo, you're disgusting. Rizzo the Rat: Hey, it's a gift.
[to Kennedi, who is about to be eaten by the killer tomatoes] Jeronahew: Your research grant has just been permanently cancelled.
Commander Kirsch: While we transport Dr. Rheinhartdt and Mr. Postley to their designated research area, we'll try to accomodate your whale-watching. Laura Dyson: Actually, it's a little bit more complicated than whale-watching. Commander Kirsch: Well, I'm sure you wouldn't be here unless you called it "Cetalogical Recognition Factors in Subaqueous Environments."
A lot of us do incremental research because it gives us something more to do in the morning than walk around and drink coffee and feel confused, but probably, we should do more walking around and feeling confused.
Roman: [Talks to himself while practising his chat up line] Excuse me, this is going to sound strange, but, I'm not really not who I make myself out to be. I'm actually a screenwriter doing some research for my new screenplay, you wouldn't happen to be a shallow corporate bitch would you?
Alistair Hennessey: Is that one of mine? I think one of my research turtles survived.
But in the meantime, as a temporary measure, I hold what I call the doctrine of the jig-saw puzzle. That is: this remarkable occurrence, and that, and the other may be, and usually are, of no significance. Coincidence and chance and unsearchable causes will now and again make clouds that are undeniable fiery dragons, and potatoes that resemble eminent statesmen exactly and minutely in every feature, and rocks that are like eagles and lions. All this is nothing; it is when you get your set of odd shapes and find that they fit into one another, and at last that they are but parts of a large design; it is then that research grows interesting and indeed amazing, it is then that one queer form confirms the other, that the whole plan displayed justifies, corroborates, explains each separate piece.
As we parted at the Natural History Museum in London, I asked Richard Fortey how science ensures that when one person goes there's someone ready to take his place. He chuckled rather heartily at my naivet
This is a world where things move at their own pace, including a tiny lift Fortey and I shared with a scholarly looking elderly man with whom Fortey chatted genially and familiarly as we proceeded upwards at about the rate that sediments are laid down. When the man departed, Fortey said to me:
The effort to understand the universe is one of the very few things that lifts human life a little above the level of farce, and gives it some of the grace of tragedy.
Love permeates all things and laws. Scientists should research it more.
Information wants to be free.
The problem in this business isn
An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing.
Science is simply common sense at its best, that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic.
Faithfulness to the truth of history involves far more than research, however patient and scrupulous, into special facts. The narrator must seek to imbue himself with the life and spirit of the time.
