Andrew: So, what's the plan? Through the front?

Big Trouble - Car Sales Pitch with a Twist

Geo Salesman: Sweet little vehicle. Just get divorced? Ah, it doesn't matter. Forty-two miles to the gallon, AM/FM radio. I'll even throw in the undercoating. Anything else you'd like to know?

Big Trouble - Tension Escalates Amidst Chaos and Threats

Pandorum - Survival and Morality in Extreme Circumstances

Bower: What are you doing?
Leland: Nothing personal, guys. It's just "survival of the fittest"... Or maybe it's the brightest, if you know what I'm saying.
Bower: You gassed us!
Leland: Oh yes! And I'm sorry, but I'm a little too old and too tired for the honorable way of hunting game.
Nadia: You better make sure I'm dead... oder ich reiss Dir Dein scheiss Herz raus du Wichser!
Bower: You don't have to do this. We're on our way to save the ship.
Leland: Don't sweat it. I wouldn't have survived this long if I had a heart.

Pandorum - The Illusion of Freedom in Pandorum

Payton: God? You think God survived? He's dead along with the rest of humanity. There's no law or order, no good or evil. Just us. And you think you're going to be the one to judge me? You want to take a shot at me?
Bower: You know what? I just might.
Payton: You are suffering, son. I can see it in your face. I've been there. Just imagine just for a minute, imagine yourself without the chains of your morality. You'd even surprise yourself. It's the ultimate freedom.
Bower: No. This isn't freedom. This is Pandorum.
Payton: Oh, pandorum. Pandorum isn't what they warned us about. I know it's frightening at first, terrifying in fact. Isn't that what you're feeling right now, terrible fear? Let go and on the other side of it is divine clarity. Purity. Enlightenment!
Bower: Shut up! What's out there?
Payton: You are resisting what is! You have to let go of your petty concept of reality. That's just baggage from the old world. And we both know that didn't work out very well now, did it? They fucked up our planet! Life eats life! And all that's left is what is. This ship is a seed from which we can create a new world!
Bower: Shut up! What's out there?
Payton: A new world! A natural state! Raw, beautiful...
Bower: What do you see?
Payton: ...perfect! I am offering you the kingdom. And all that's holding you back is your own fear!

Pandorum - Confronting Past Space Mission Catastrophes

Bower: Payton? Pandorum, you ever felt the symptoms?
Payton: [aghast] Of all the things to remember, why would you pick that? Were you thinking of the Eden mission?
Bower: What about the Eden?
Payton: You just had to remind me of the biggest fucking catastrophe in space travel, the flight cautionary tale from Hell.
Bower: I remember-- didn't they have some kind of hypersleep malfunction?
Payton: Two years into their shift, one of their officers had a psychological breakdown. The doctors referred to it as ODS Syndrome, but pilots-- we call it Pandorum. It drove him insane. He became convinced that the flight was cursed. Evil.
Bower: What did he do?
Payton: He evacuated the ship. He launched them all into oblivion. Five thousand people sent to their death with one push of a button.
Bower: At least we didn't wake up floating away in a coffin.
Payton: Who says we didn't?

Pandorum - A Joke About an Open Door

Payton: Maybe this is a bad time to tell you, but the door is open.
Bower: Are you fucking kidding me?
Payton: [beat] Yeah, I'm kidding you.

Pandorum - Consequences of Actions and Justice's Reach

Bower: There will always be law and you will pay for what you've done. Even if that means I have to pull the sick out of you.

Pandorum - The Importance of Solidarity in Survival

Bower: I understand that it's felt like every man for himself. If we're going to get out of this... a little fucking solidarity goes a long way. We all want to survive, right?

Bower: After what I just saw, procedure just went out the fucking window.
