Agent 99: Which one of these is going to attract the least attention?
Maxwell Smart: [looks inside a garage and spots something] All right, well we have a couple of Soviet-era sedans here. We have that tractor, that cart. And... that'll work.
Agent 99: [objectively] No!
Maxwell Smart: [starts entering the garage] Yess.....
Agent 99: [sarcastically] Oh yeah, we are really under the radar now.
Maxwell Smart: Will you relax? Since the fall of Communism, everybody has one of these here.
Farmer: [subtitled Russian; His wife whips out a cell phone and promptly takes a picture of the car] A Ferrari!

Maxwell Smart: [an alarm on his watch goes off] Boy, you know what? I will tell you, I love your country! No more communism, no rules of any kind, really. I'm filling my suitcase with steroids and art from ancient Mesopotamia, ran over an old woman yesterday, best vacation I ever had!
Maxwell Smart: [He leaves and returns to his and 99's table] Time to take my pill... There was a guy in the bathroom who's really hot.
Agent 99: OK. Well...
Maxwell Smart: No, no, no, radioactive hot. Although, yes, he did have a certain rugged quality that some find appealing.

Get Smart - Humor in Everyday Conversations

Agent 99: So, how do you know this place?
Maxwell Smart: [99 stares at him] Well, as an analyst, I like to keep my ears open. It's amazing what you can learn listening to chatter. In fact, Ladislas Krstic loves this place, as do many KAOS agents. Cafe Minsk Pinsk in Smolensk - it doesn't get any better than thinsk. See what I just did? I added an "insk" at the end of the word. Made it sound Russian.
Agent 99: [sighs] Should've smacked you harder.
Maxwell Smart: Is that your default setting? Do you just punch people in the face, willy-nilly? "It's Tuesday, I'll punch Max in the face." "Ooh, a box of kittens, time to punch Max in the face." "Oh, I'm having some bread, time to punch Max in the face!
Agent 99: You know, I love bread, and I know bread has a few carbs, but I've never been afraid of carbs, because it seems like no matter how many I eat, I stay thinsk.

Get Smart - A Shift in Partnership Dynamics

Maxwell Smart: [99 suddenly stops and turns on him] Okay, not to keep dwelling on this, but that was some kiss. How did you know that would work? Have you kissed other men who then plummeted to their deaths?
Agent 99: Okay, okay! You know what, so far our entire "partnership" has consisted of me getting you out of trouble! Do you know why?! It is because you keep leading!!
Agent 99: So here's how we stop that: I lead now! I'm the one with field experience, and you know nothing!
Maxwell Smart: [99 starts walking] I beg to differ! I looked up your field agent exam, and I scored-
Agent 99: My what?!
Maxwell Smart: Your field agent exam! I scored eight points higher than you did! That is the difference between an A+ and an A-!
Agent 99: [simultaneously] This is not a classroom! This is real! You are really going to get yourself killed if you don't listen to me!!
Maxwell Smart: [Beat] ....A-!
Agent 99: Okay. Okay, you're faced with an assassin. What do you do?
Maxwell Smart: [draws pistol; As he brings it up in front of him, 99 grabs it and points it at his head] I take out my gun and I would shoot-
Agent 99: You don't have a gun.
Maxwell Smart: I did until you took it-
Agent 99: Bang!", you're dead!
Maxwell Smart: [99 lowers it at his heart] No, I'm not.
Agent 99: Bang!", you're dead!
Maxwell Smart: Stop shooting me.
Agent 99: [starts pointing it to all over his upper body] You are dead! Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang bang!
Maxwell Smart: [as she's saying that; 99 sticks Max's gun back into his pants, in the process making an almost sexual advance on him] I don't like it when you shoot me! Stop it! Stop shooting me! You've already said I was- Hey.
Agent 99: [quietly through gritted teeth] Throw out your manual. Out here there are no grades. There's only "dead" and "not dead".
Maxwell Smart: [99 stops, glaring away from Max. As he warms up, she suddenly spins and backhands him across his face] You know, I am not completely incompetent without a gun. I am a master in the art of ­Choi Kwang-Do. I was not ready!
Agent 99: That's my point.
Maxwell Smart: [She slaps him again] You know what- Hey! What was that?!

Get Smart - Unexpected Encounter and Unpleasant Odor

Maxwell Smart: Bruce! Lloyd! What happened here... and what is that ungodly smell?
Lloyd: [whimpering] Fear.
Agent 99: Freeze!
Maxwell Smart: Freeze.
Agent 99: No, you freeze!
Maxwell Smart: You freeze.
Agent 99: I told you to freeze!
Maxwell Smart: Freeze, times infinity.
Agent 99: [turns Max around so that he's facing her, and they recognize each other] Oh, my God! You!
Agent 99: Are you CONTROL?
Maxwell Smart: [beat] Yes I am. I'm Maxwell Smart. I am a CONTROL analyst. Who are you?
Agent 99: I'm Agent 99.
Maxwell Smart: Oh, my lord, you are Agent 99? I am a huge fan!
Agent 99: Thank you.

Get Smart - A Conversation on Regret and Self-Perception

Maxwell Smart: [sighs; The camera angle changes to show that he's talking to a dog in a pet store display window; As he starts to walk away, a jogger plows straight into him, and both of them fall down; He helps her to her feet] I am sorry. Despite today's setback, I will at some point become a field agent. And when that happens, one phone call could take me to the other side of the world. Who am I kidding? I'm a middle aged man who's missed the train. You don't deserve this. I don't deserve you. You're so young, so full of life. Don't do it, Fang. Don't love me. Oh, dear. Sorry.
Agent 99: [looks at her watch] Oh, great! That was my last mile. Now I have no idea how fast I was!
Maxwell Smart: Well, you were really moving. Not easy to knock me down. I have a very low center of gravity. Pretty solid.
Agent 99: I'm just gonna call that one a... 4:50.
Maxwell Smart: Impressive. I, uh, once ran a 5:16.
Agent 99: Oh really? That's, uh, slower.
Maxwell Smart: Well, not everything's a competition.
Agent 99: If it were, I'd win.
Maxwell Smart: Ah. Are you flirting with me?
Agent 99: Not at all. Are you flirting with me?
Maxwell Smart: [99 puts her headphones back in her ears] That depends. Is it working?
Agent 99: [jogs away] Not at all.
Maxwell Smart: [A man comes out of the store wheeling a dolly, and one wheel runs over Max's foot. He screams in pain] Well nice meeting you! I admire your focus! Am I invisible?

Les Misérables - A Conversation of Regret and Despair

Jean Valjean: How have you come to grief in a place such as this?
Fantine: M'sieur, don't mock me now, I pray. It's hard enough I've lost my pride. You let your foreman send me away - yes, you were there, and turned aside. I never did no wrong.
Jean Valjean: Is it true, what I have done? To an innocent soul? Had I only known then...
Fantine: My daughter's close to dying. If there's a God above... He'd let me die instead...
Jean Valjean: In His name my task has just begun, I will see it done!

Les Misérables - The Loss of Dreams and Hope

Fantine: There was a time when men were kind. When their voices were soft, and their words inviting. There was a time when love was blind. And the world was a song, and the song was exciting. There was a time...Then it all went wrong. I dreamed a dream in times gone by, when hope was high and life worth living. I dreamed, that love would never die, I dreamed that God would be forgiving. Then I was young and unafraid, and dreams were made and used and wasted. There was no ransom to be paid, no song unsung, no wine untasted. But the tigers come at night with their voices soft as thunder. As they tear your hope apart as they turn your dream to shame. He slept a summer by my side, he filled my days with endless wonder. He took my childhood in his stride, but he was gone when autumn came. And still I dream he'll come to me that we will live the years together. But there are dreams that cannot be, and there are storms we cannot weather. I had a dream my life would be so different from this hell I'm living, so different now from what it seemed. Now life has killed the dream...I dreamed.

The Princess Diaries - Embracing Responsibility as Princess of Genovia

Mia Thermopolis: (At the Genovian Independence Day Ball) Hi, um... hello. I'm Mia. Um, it stopped raining! I'm really no good at speech-making. Normally I get so nervous that I faint or run away, or sometimes I even get sick. But you really didn't need to know that... but I'm not so afraid anymore. See, my father helped me. Earlier this evening, I had every intention of giving up my claim to the throne. And my mother helped me, by telling me it was ok, and by supporting me like she has my entire life. But then I wondered how I'd feel after abdicating my role as Princess of Genovia. Would I feel relieved, or would I feel sad? And then I realized how many stupid times a day I use the word I. And probably all I ever do is think about myself. And how lame is that when there's like seven billion other people out there on the planet, and... sorry, I'm going too fast. But then I thought, if I cared about the other seven billion out there, instead of just me, that's probably a much better use of my time. See, if I were Princess of Genovia, then my thoughts and the thoughts of people smarter than me would be much better heard, and just maybe those thoughts could be turned into actions. So this morning when I woke up, I was Mia Thermopolis. But now I choose to be forevermore, Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldi, Princess of Genovia.

The Devil Wears Prada - Navigating Workplace Challenges and Criticism

Andrea: She hates me, Nigel.
Nigel: And that's my problem because... Oh, wait. No, it's not my problem.
Andrea: I don't know what else I can do because if I do something right, it's unacknowledged. She doesn't even say thank you. But if I do something wrong, she is vicious.
Nigel: So quit.
Andrea: What?
Nigel: Quit.
Andrea: Quit?
Nigel: I can get another girl to take your job in five minutes... one who really wants it.
Andrea: No, I don't want to quit. That's not fair. But, I, you know, I'm just saying that I would just like a little credit... for the fact that I'm killing myself trying.
Nigel: Andy, be serious. You are not trying. You are whining. What is it that you want me to say to you, huh? Do you want me to say, "Poor you. Miranda's picking on you. Poor you. Poor Andy"? Hmm? Wake up, six. She's just doing her job. Don't you know that you are working at the place that published some of the greatest artists of the century? ], ], de la Renta. And what they did, what they created was greater than art because you live your life in it. Well, not you, obviously, but some people. You think this is just a magazine, hmm? This is not just a magazine. This is a shining beacon of hope for... oh, I don't know... let's say a young boy growing up in ] with six brothers pretending to go to soccer practice when he was really going to sewing class and reading Runway under the covers at night with a flashlight. You have no idea how many legends have walked these halls. And what's worse, you don't care. Because this place, where so many people would die to work you only deign to work. And you want to know why she doesn't kiss you on the forehead and give you a gold star on your homework at the end of the day. Wake up, sweetheart.

The Devil Wears Prada - Weather Delays Affect Personal Commitments

Andrea: [''on phone''] Hello Miranda?
Miranda: [''on the phone from Miami''] My flight has been cancelled. It's some absurd weather problem. I need to get home tonight. The twins have a recital tomorrow morning at school.
Andrea: What?
Miranda: AT SCHOOL!
Andrea: Absolutely. Let me see what I can do.
Miranda: [''hangs up on her''] Good.
Andrea: [''answering the phone few minutes later''] Miranda, hi, I'm trying to get you a flight but no one is flying out because of the weather.
Miranda: [''Background in Miami shows a huge storm and smashing thunder''] Oh, please... it's just- I don't know- drizzling. Someone must be getting out. Call ]. Get her jet. Call everybody else that we know that has a jet- Irv?- Call every- This is your responsibi- THIS IS YOUR JOB!- Get-me-HOME!

The Dark Knight Rises - A Conversation on Sacrifice and Redemption

Selina Kyle: I blow that tunnel open, I'm gone.
Batman: There's more to you than that.
Selina: Sorry I keep letting you down. Come with me, Bruce. Save yourself. You don't owe these people any more. You've given them everything.
Batman: Not everything, Selina. Not yet.

The Dark Knight Rises - Impending Change and Adaptability

Selina Kyle: You think this can last? There's a storm coming, Mr. Wayne. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.
Bruce: You sound like you're looking forward to it.
Selina: I'm adaptable.

Interstellar - Fuel Efficiency in Space Navigation

TARS: [As Cooper suddenly accelerates towards an out-of-control Endurance''] Cooper, there's no point in using our fuel to chase-
Cooper: Analyze the Endurance's spin.
Brand: Cooper, what are you doing?!
Cooper: Docking.

Interstellar - Difficult Choices in Space Exploration

Cooper: We no longer have the fuel to visit both prospects, so, we have to choose.
Romilly: But how? They’re both promising. Edmunds’ data is better, but Dr. Mann is the one still transmitting, so…
Brand: We’ve no reason to suspect Endmunds’s data would have soured. His world has key elements to sustain human life.
Cooper: As does Dr. Mann’s.
Brand: Cooper, this is my field. And I really believe Edmunds’ is the better prospect.
Cooper: Why?
Brand: Gargantua, that’s why. Look at Miller’s planet. Hydrocarbons, organics, yes, but no life. Sterile. We’ll find the same thing on Mann’s.
Romilly: Because of the black hole?
Brand: Murphy’s Law. Whatever can happen will happen. Accident is the first building block of evolution. But when you’re orbiting a black hole not enough can happen. It sucks in asteroids and comets, other events which would otherwise reach you. We need to go further afield.
Cooper: You once said that Dr. Mann was the best of us.
Brand: He’s remarkable, we’re only here because of him.
Cooper: And yet here he is. He’s on the ground, and he’s sending a very unambiguous message, telling us to come to his planet.
Brand: Granted, but Edmunds’ data is more promising.
Romilly: We should vote.
Cooper: Well, if we vote, there’s something you should know. Brand? He has a right to know.
Brand: That has nothing to do with it.
Romilly: What does?
Cooper: She’s in love with Wolf Edmunds.
Romilly: Is that true?
Brand: Yes. And that makes me want to follow my heart. But maybe we’ve spent too long trying to figure all this out with theory.
Cooper: You’re a scientist, Brand.
Brand: So listen to me when I say that love isn’t something we invented. It’s observable, powerful. It has to mean something.
Cooper: Love has meaning, yes. Social utility, social bonding, child rearing…
Brand: We love people who have died. Where’s the social utility in that?
Cooper: None
Brand: [Stays quiet.] Maybe it means something more, something we can’t yet understand. May it’s some evidence, something artifact of a higher dimension that we can’t consciously perceive. I’m drawn across the universe to someone I haven’t seen in a decade, who I know is probably dead. Love is the one thing that we’re capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space. Maybe we should trust that, even if we can’t understand it yet. All right, Cooper, yes, the tiniest possibility of seeing Woolf again excites me. That doesn’t mean I’m wrong.
Cooper: [Brand leaves] Honestly, Amelia, it might. TARS, chart a course for Dr. Mann’s.

Interstellar - Conflict of Priorities in a Mission

Brand: I told you to leave me.
Cooper: And I told you to get your ass back here! Difference is, only one of us was thinking about the mission—
Brand: Cooper, you were thinking about getting home — I was trying to do the right thing!
Cooper: [pause] Tell that to Doyle. How long to drain, CASE?
CASE: Forty-five to an hour.
Cooper: The stuff of life, huh? What's this gonna cost us, Brand?
Brand: A lot. Decades.
Cooper: What happened to Miller?
Brand: Judging by the wreckage, she was broken up by a wave shortly after impact.
Cooper: How could the wreckage still be together after all these years?
Brand: Because of the time slippage. On this planet's time, she landed here just hours ago. She might have died only minutes ago.
CASE: The data Doyle collected was just the initial status, echoing endlessly.
Cooper: We're not prepared for this, Brand. You're a bunch of eggheads without the survival skills of a boy-scout troop.
Brand: We got this far on our brains, farther than any humans in history...
Cooper: No, not far enough. And we're stuck here till there won't be anyone left on Earth to save—
Brand: I'm counting every second, same as you, Cooper.
Cooper: [Brand shakes her head] Don't you have some clever way we jump into a black hole and get back the years? Don't you shake your head at me!
Brand: [[Time] ] is relative, it can stretch and squeeze, but it can't run backwards. The only thing that can move across dimensions like time is gravity.
Cooper: The beings that led us here ... they communicate through gravity ... Could they be talking to us from the future?
Brand: Maybe.
Cooper: Well, if they can—
Brand: [[dimensions; [past; [future; [mountain] Look, Cooper, they're creatures of at least five ], to them the ] might be a canyon they can climb into and the ] a ] they can climb up... but to us it's not, okay? I'm sorry, Cooper. I screwed up. But you know about relativity.
Cooper: [[Einstein] My daughter was ten. I couldn't explain ]'s theories before I left.
Brand: [[save; [world] Could you tell her you were going to ] the ]?
Cooper: [[understood] No. I wasn't much of a parent, but I ] the most important thing — let your kids feel safe. Which rules out telling ten-year-old that the world's ending.

Interstellar - Balancing Speed and Safety in Space Travel

Cooper: We wanna get down fast, don't we?
Brand: Actually we want to get there in one piece.
Cooper: Hang on.

Interstellar - Communication Updates from Various Space Missions

Doyle: The lost communications came through.
Brand: How?
Doyle: The relay on this side cached them. Years of basic data, no real surprises. Miller's site has kept pinging thumbs up, as has Mann... but Edmunds went down three years ago.
Brand: Transmitter failure?
Doyle: Maybe. He was sending thumbs up right till it went dark.
Romilly: [Doyle nods, and Romilly begins drawing on a whiteboard] Miller still looks good? She's coming up fast ... with one complication: the planet is much closer to Gargantua than we thought.
Cooper: Gargantua?
Doyle: A very large black hole. Miller's and Dr. Mann's planets orbit it.
Brand: And Miller's is right on the horizon?
Romilly: A basketball on the hoop. Landing there takes us dangerously close. A black hole that big has a huge gravitational pull.
Cooper: Look, I can swing around that neutron star and decelerate—
Brand: It's not that, it's time. That gravity will slow our clock compared to Earth. Drastically.
Cooper: How bad?
Romilly: Every hour we spend down there will be maybe... seven years back on Earth.
Cooper: Jesus...
Romilly: That's relativity, folks.

Interstellar - Facing Difficult Goodbyes and New Beginnings

Cooper: It is hard leaving everything... my kids, your father...
Brand: We're gonna be spending a lot of time together.
Cooper: [[learn] We should ] to talk.
Brand: [[honest] And when not to? … Just being ].
Cooper: I don't think you need to be that honest. Hey TARS, what’s your honesty Parameter?
TARS: Ninety percent.
Cooper: Ninety percent?
TARS: Absolute honesty isn’t always the most diplomatic, nor the safest form of communication with emotional beings.
Cooper: Okay. Ninety percent it is, Dr. Brand.
