Jigsaw:
Hello Seth, I want to play a game. Right now, you are feeling helpless. This is the same helplessness you bestowed onto others. But now, it's unto you. Some would call this karma, I call it justice. Now you served five years of what should have been a life sentence, for murder. A technicality gave you freedom, but it inhibited you from understanding the impact of taking a life. Today, I offer you true freedom. In thirty seconds, the pendulum will drop far enough to touch your body. Within sixty seconds, it will cut you in half. To avoid the pendulum, all you have to do is destroy the things that have killed... your hands. You must insert your hands and push the buttons to start the devices before you. Your bones will be crushed to dust. Will you destroy the things that have taken life in order to save one, Seth? Make your choice.
Corky St. Clair:
So what I'm understanding here - correct me, if I'm wrong - is that you're not givin' me... any money... so now I'm left basically with nothin', I'm... left with ZERO, in which, in which, what can I do with zero, you know? What can I... I can't do ANYTHIN' with it! I need to, this is my LIFE here we're talking about! We're not just talkin' about, you know, somethin' else, were talking about MY life, you know? And it's forcing me to do somethin' I don't wanna do. To leave. To, to go out and just leave and go home and say, make a clean cut here and say "no way, Corky, you're not puttin' up with these people!" And I'll tell you why I can't put up with you people: because you're BASTARD people! That's what you are! You're just bastard people! And I'm goin' home and I'm gonna... I'm gonna BITE MY PILLOW, is what I'm gonna do!
Shirley MacLaine:
None of us were really aware. We might have been forerunners, but we weren't really, because we didn't do the picture right. We were in the mindset of not understanding what we were basically doing. These days, there would be a tremendous outcry, as well there should be. Why would Martha break down and say, "Oh my god, what's wrong with me, I'm so polluted, I've ruined you." She would fight! She would fight for her budding preference. And when you look at it, to have Martha play that scene - and no one questioned it - what that meant, or what the alternatives could have been underneath the dialog, it's mind boggling. The profundity of this subject was not in the lexicon of our rehearsal period. Audrey and I never talked about this. Isn't that amazing? Truly amazing.
J. Paul Getty:
Shut up!
Goddard Bolt:
Who are you?
J. Paul Getty:
I'm J. Paul Getty. I was the richest man in the world. You don't see me ranting and raving about it, do you? No! I took my losses!
Goddard Bolt:
What losses?
J. Paul Getty:
During the crash, the clash, the smash!
Goddard Bolt:
Listen to me. You are not J. Paul Getty. You are a pathetic, broken-minded, little bum. In your mind you think you're J. Paul Getty but you're not. Whilst I on the other hand, am Goddard Bolt, a genuine financial giant.
J. Paul Getty:
So am I!
Goddard Bolt:
[slaps Getty] You're not!
J. Paul Getty:
[slaps Bolt] I am!
Goddard Bolt:
[slaps Getty] You're not!
J. Paul Getty:
[slaps Bolt] I am!
Goddard Bolt:
[slaps Getty] You're not!
J. Paul Getty:
[slaps Bolt] I am!
Goddard Bolt:
Wait. Come with me.
J. Paul Getty:
Where we going?
Goddard Bolt:
Over here, let's talk. [they move a little down the sidewalk]
Goddard Bolt:
Now look, let's be reasonable.
J. Paul Getty:
O.k.
Goddard Bolt:
There's an enormous difference between us. Even though in your twisted mind, you think you're rich, you're really not. On the other hand, because of my serious understanding of the world of finance, I have amassed six point four billion dollars.
J. Paul Getty:
And I've amassed six point five [slaps are exchanged between them with "you didn't, I did" and a small fight happens]
Goddard Bolt:
Look I don't want to hurt you.
J. Paul Getty:
You don't?
Goddard Bolt:
No. It's just that it's important to me that you understand. I guess it doesn't make any difference who's richer. Does it? [Bolt starts to leave]
Goddard Bolt:
Well forget about it.
J. Paul Getty:
No. Oh, God thank you. Cause I'm really richer. [Bolt then charges at Getty and the police break up the fight]
Sally Gerber:
The idea is that an understanding of the particular behavioral case histories should, in parole situations, help the subject to avoid habitual traps and, in penal escape situations could, conversely, identify those self-same traps as an aid to apprehension.
Chief Red Garnett:
In the first place, Miss Gerber.
Sally Gerber:
Sally, please.
Chief Red Garnett:
In the first place, Sally, it ain't a 'penal escape situation.' It's a manhunt. Fancy words in a circle don't help much.
Sally Gerber:
And what does?
Chief Red Garnett:
A nose like a Blue Tick, a medulla with an antenna and a helluva lot of coffee.
It is not for you to say - you Englishmen, who have conquered your freedom so long ago, that you have conveniently forgotten what blood you shed, and what extremities you proceeded to in the conquering - it is not for you to say how far the worst of all exasperations may, or may not, carry the maddened men of an enslaved nation. The iron that has entered into our souls has gone too deep for you to find it. Leave the refugee alone! Laugh at him, distrust him, open your eyes in wonder at the secret self which smolders in him, sometimes under the every-day respectability and tranquility of a man like me - sometimes under the grinding poverty, the fierce squalor, of men less lucky, less pliable, less patient than I am - but judge us not. In the time of your first Charles you might have done us justice - the long luxury of your freedom has made you incapable of doing us justice now.
