Hans Gruber
Put down the gun.

John McClane
Why'd you have to nuke the whole building, Hans?

Confrontation in the Bishop's Chambers
Bishop of Hereford
These are my private chambers, my son. (pause) I have priests who would hear your confession. (upon recognizing Robin) I see the boy I knew in the man before me. Welcome home, Robin.
Bishop of Hereford
I asked your father three times if he worshiped the dark one because his answer vexed me so grievously. He said he must meet God with a clear conscience.

Organizing the Christmas Party Challenges
Harry
Right, the Christmas party, not my favourite night of the year and your unhappy job to organise.
Mia
Tell me.
Harry
It's basic, really. Find a venue, over-order on the drinks, bulk buy the guacamole and advise the girls to avoid Kevin if they want their breasts unfondled.

The Art of Potion-Making Explained
Severus Snape
There will be no wand-waving or silly incantations in this class. As such, I don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science and exact art that is potion-making. However, for those select few , who possess the predisposition, I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper in death. Then again, maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts in possession of abilities so formidable that you feel confident enough... to not pay attention.

Negotiating Legitimacy in Armed Conflict
Eamon de Valera
If we are to negotiate as a legitimate government, our armed forces must act like a legitimate army.
Michael Collins
What, exactly, do you mean, Dev?
Eamon de Valera
I mean large scale engagements.
Michael Collins
You mean, like, in 1916? The great, heroic, ethical failure. All marchin in step towards slaughter. Why don't we save them all the bother and blow our own brains out?!
Cathal Brugha
How dare you!
Michael Collins
How do you think we even got them to this point? Where they'll even consider talking? We brought them to their knees the only way we could!

A Dispute Over Gaze and Intentions
Judge Turpin
Oh yes... such practices. The Geishas of Japan, the concubines of Siam, the catamites of Greece, the harlots of India. I have them all here, drawings of them. Everything you've ever dreamed of doing with a woman. Would you like to see?
Anthony
I think there's been some mistake.
Judge Turpin
I think not. You gandered at my ward, Johanna. You gandered at her. YES, sir, you gandered!
Anthony Hope
I meant no harm.

Your meaning is immaterial. Mark me! If I see your face again on this street, you'll rue the day you were born.

Disagreement Over Agreement Terms
Eamon de Valera
You published the terms without MY agreement!
Michael Collins
They were the best we could get.
Eamon de Valera
In your opinion!
Michael Collins
And what's more, Dev, you sent me there because you knew they were best we could get.
Eamon de Valera
That is idle speculation.
Eamon de Valera
What would you know about peace?
Michael Collins
When I agreed to go to London, you said we could negotiate on behalf of the Irish people and our government, the Dáil. If they accept it, I accept it; if they reject it I reject it. And I want to know you'll do the same.

Reflections on Identity and Duty
Interrogator
I don't like all this you know. I tell myself it's just a job and then in my dreams these words float by: Because thou hast the power and ownst the grace to see through and behind this mask of me, against which the years have beat thus blenchingly with their rains, and behold my soul's true face." It seems so long ago. My soul's true face.

Gradual Acceptance of Harsh Realities
Bethany
WHY?! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT FROM ME?! I FUCKING HATE YOU! I hate you.
[looking skyward; now crying]
Metatron
He can't hear you, you know.
Bethany
Why didn't you tell me?
Metatron
Would you - could you - have believed me? You had to come to it gradually. Only now, after all you've seen, could you accept the truth.
Bethany
I don't want this. It's too big.
Metatron
That's what Jesus said. Yeah... I had to tell him. And you can imagine how that hurt the Father, that one word from his lips would destroy the Son's frail human body. So, I had to tell a scared child who wanted nothing more than to play with other children that he was God's only son, and that it meant a life of persecution and eventual crucifixion at the hands of the very people he had come to enlighten and redeem. He begged me to take it all back, as if I could. He begged me to make it all not true'. And I'll let you in on something, Bethany. It's something I've never told anyone before: if I had the power, I would have. It's unfair! It's unfair to ask a child to shoulder that responsibility, and it's unfair to ask you to do the same. I sympathize, I do. I wish I could take it all back. But I can't. This is who you are.
Bethany
Everything I am has been a lie.
Metatron
No, no, no! Knowing what you now know doesn't mean you're not who you were. You are Bethany Sloane - no one can take that away from you, not even God. All this means is a new definition of that identity. The incorporation of this new data into who you are. Be who you've always been. Just be this as well... from time to time.
Bethany
I guess this mean no more cheating on my taxes.
[chuckles mirthlessly]
Metatron
To say the least.

Sir Guy of Gisbourne
I barely survived. He has a companion, a dark skinned foreigner with the marked face of Islam and a Saracens sword.
Sheriff of Nottingham
Yes, yes, I'm sure it would take an army to match these rogues. I trust Locksley's visited his manor and found the home fires still burning!

The Limitations of Human Perception of God
Metatron
Metatron acts as the voice of God. Any documented occasion when some yahoo claims that God has spoken to them, they're speaking to me. Or they're talking to themselves.
Bethany
Well... why doesn't God speak for Himself?
Metatron
Glad you decided to join the conversation. To answer that: human beings have neither the aural nor the psychological capacity to withstand the awesome power of God's true voice. Were you to hear it, your mind would cave in and your heart would explode within your chest. We went through five {{w|Adam}}s before we figured that one out.

Bethany
Look, just take whatever you want, but don't kill or rape me.
Metatron
Oh, give over, will you? I couldn't rape you if I wanted to; Angels are ill-equipped! See? I'm as anatomically impaired as a Ken doll. Now make yourself useful and gimme that towel, will you? Honestly, you bottom feeders and your arrogance, you think everybody's just trying to get in your knickers.

Harry
Oh, Karen...
Karen
Would you wait around to find out if it's just a necklace, or if it's sex and a necklace, or if worst of all it's a necklace and love? Would you stay, knowing life would always be a little bit worse? Or would you cut and run?
Harry
Oh, God. I am so in the wrong. The classic fool.
Karen
Yes, but you've also made a fool out of me, and you've made the life I lead foolish too.

I thought I told all of you, I want radio silence until further no--
John McClane
Ooh, I'm very sorry Hans. I didn't get that message. Maybe you should've put it on the bulletin board. I figured since I've waxed Tony and Marco and his friend here, I figured you and Karl and Franco might be a little lonely, so I decided to give you a call.
Karl Vreski
How does he know so much about--?
[to Hans; Hans shushes Karl, then back to his walkie-talkie]
Hans Gruber

Hans Gruber

John McClane

[Karl and Franco leave as McClane puts the explosive in his backpack before picking up his gun before walking away]
John McClane
Yeah, I'm still here. Unless you wanna open the front door for me.
Hans Gruber

John McClane
I was always kinda partial to ], actually. I really liked those sequined shirts.

Hans Gruber
Do you really think you have a chance against us, Mister Cowboy?
John McClane
Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker.
[quietly; walks through a door and out of sight]
