House of Sand and Fog - Returning to Destiny and Home
Nadi:
I am tired.
Behrani:
Soon we will return to the flowers of Isfahan... the mosques of Qom... and to the fine hotels of old Tehran. I have taken us so far off our course. But now it is time to return. It is time for us to go home, to our destiny.

House of Sand and Fog - Confrontation of Power and Identity
Behrani: [to Kathy]
You think you can frighten me? You think you can frighten me with your stupid deputy coming here telling me lies?
Behrani:
What do you think I am? Tell me that. Am I stupid? You think I'm stupid?
Nadi: [Following them]
Don't!
Behrani:
In my country, you're not worthy to raise your eyes to me. You're nothing! And you can tell your deputy friend his superior officers know everything!
Behrani:
You tell him that! This is our home!
Kathy:
Please...
Behrani:
OUR HOME!
Nadi: [In Farsi; In English]
Leave her alone! That's enough! Please, stop! Please, to stop, Behrani!

House of Sand and Fog - Conflict Over Trust and Communication
Nadi:
Give to me answer, Behrani. What did that man say about deporting?
Behrani:
He said nothing, Nadi.
Nadi: [In Farsi; In English]
Do not lie to me! I heard him! Tell to me, Behrani. Tell me. What have you done?
Behrani:
It is none of your business what I have or have not done. Have you no faith in me? No respect? That man has said I must remove the sign, that is all.
Nadi:
Coward! Liar! You casif liar! It is YOUR fault we were forced to flee from Iran! It is YOUR fault we are here!
Esmail: [In Farsi]
That's enough, mother!
Nadi:
Yours and your SAVAK friends!

House of Sand and Fog - Citizenship and Responsibility in Housing Disputes
Esmail:
Why did that man say we would be deported?
Behrani:
I don't know. But we are American citizens. We own this house. They can do nothing to us now.
Esmail:
I feel bad for that lady, Baba-jan.
Behrani:
The woman's house was taken from her because she did not pay her taxes. That happens when one is not responsible.
Esmail:
But...
Behrani:
Do you understand? Do not feel bad. Americans they do not deserve what they have. They have the eyes of small children who are forever looking for the next source of distraction, entertainment, sweet taste in the mouth. We are not like them. We know rich opportunities when we see them and do not throw away God's blessing.

Sneakers - The Allure and Burden of Power
Cosmo:
You could have had the power.
Bishop:
I don't want it.
Cosmo:
Don't you know the places we can go with this?
Bishop:
Yeah, I do. There's nobody there.
Cosmo:
Exactly! The world isn't run by weapons anymore, or energy, or money, it's run by little ones and zeroes, little bits of data. It's all just electrons.
Bishop: [walks away]
I don't care.
Cosmo:
I don't expect other people to understand this but I do expect you to understand this. We started this journey together.
Bishop:
It wasn't a journey, Cos. It was a prank.
Cosmo:
There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!
Bishop:
If I were you, I'd destroy that thing.
Cosmo: [aims at Bish's head as he prepares to go down the ladder]
Don't go. Don't go.
Bishop: [leaves]
You do what you have to do, Cos, but if you want to stop me, you'll have to pull the trigger. You.

Sneakers - Perception Shapes Financial Stability and Behavior
Cosmo:
In prison I learned that everything in this world, including money, operates not on reality...
Bishop:
...but the perception of reality.
Cosmo:
Posit: people think a bank might be financially shaky.
Bishop:
Consequence: people start to withdraw their money.
Cosmo:
Result: pretty soon it is financially shaky.
Bishop:
Conclusion: you can make banks fail.
Cosmo:
Bzzt. I've already done that. Maybe you've heard about a few? Think bigger.
Bishop:
Stock market?
Cosmo:
Yes.
Bishop:
Currency market?
Cosmo:
Yes.
Bishop:
Commodities market?
Cosmo:
Yes.
Bishop:
Small countries?
Cosmo:
With luck, I might even be able to crash the whole damned system. Destroy all records of ownership. Think of it, Marty. No more rich people, no more poor people, everybody's the same, isn't that what we said we always wanted?
Bishop:

Sneakers - The Power of Money and Its Consequences
Cosmo:
What's wrong with this country, Marty? Money. You taught me that. Evil defense contractors had it, noble causes did not. Politicians are bought and sold like so much chattel. Our problems multiply. Pollution, crime, drugs, poverty, disease, hunger, despair; we throw gobs of money at them! The problems always get worse. Why is that? Because money's most powerful ability is to allow bad people to continue doing bad things at the expense of those who don't have it.
Bishop:
I agree. Now who did you say you were working for?
Cosmo:
Oh, that's just my day job.

Operation Finale - Identity and Recognition in a Confrontation
Zvi Aharoni: [Klement opens his eyes. Aharoni takes off his jacket and puts it on a chair. He sits down opposite Klement]
Open your eyes. I want you to tell me your name.
Ricardo Klement: [short pause]
I am Ricardo Klement.
Zvi Aharoni:
Do you recognise the man in this picture?
Ricardo Klement: [short pause, doesn't have his glasses]
I can't see him clearly.
Zvi Aharoni: [short pause, Klement does not respond; still no response]
The man in the picture is you. SS number 45381, am I correct? Again: your number was 45381. Your number was 45381. 45381. 45381!
Adolf Eichmann: [short pause]

Lucky Number Slevin - Moral Dilemmas in Life and Death

Lucky Number Slevin - A Conversation About Identity and Obligation
The Rabbi:
You must be Mr. Fisher.
Slevin:
Must I be? Because it hasn't been working out for me lately.
The Rabbi:
But I'm afraid you must.
Slevin:
Well, if I must.
The Rabbi:
Do you know why you've been brought here, Mr. Fisher?
Slevin:
For starters, I'm unlucky.
The Rabbi:
The unlucky are nothing more than a frame of reference for the lucky, Mr. Fisher. You are unlucky so that I may know that I am not. Unfortunately, the lucky never realize they are lucky until it's too late. Consider yourself for instance; yesterday you were better off than you were today, but it took today for you to realize it. But, today has arrived, and it's too late, you see? People are never happy with what they have. They always want what they had...what someone else has...
Slevin:
Kind of like a rabbi who'd rather be a gangster or a gangster who'd rather be a rabbi? I mean, what is that, some kind of grass is greener on the other side of the fence'...thing? I mean, how do you justify being a rabbi and a gangster?
The Rabbi: [pauses, slides tea tray aside]
I don't. I am a bad man who doesn't waste time wondering what could have been when I am what could have been and could not have been. I live on both sides of the fence; the grass is always green. Consider, Mr. Fisher, there are two men sitting before you; and one of them you should be very afraid of. Where is my money?

But today has arrived, and it's too late... You see? People are never happy with what they have. They want what they had.

Lucky Number Slevin - The Importance of Recognizing Lies
The Rabbi:
If there's one thing I know, is when someone is lying. A man in my position, that's all he has to go on. To know a lie when he hears it: the difference between life and death... your own... someone else's. That being said, he wasn't lying.

Sexy Beast - Unexpected Encounter and Its Aftermath
Don Logan:
Yeah, that's what I said. There's me putting my bag up in the cupboard next thing ya know, I feel hands on me. Someone's touched me, touched my front... my front bottom. I can't believe it, I've gone all cold. I look around, he standing there isn't he? That steward with the guilty look on his face. I was shocked, I didn't know what to say. I had to sit down, I was that perturbed. Then his mate, the other one who was giving us all lessons on what we do if we land in the sea. How to wear your life jacket etc; He starts off, he starts looking at my all funny... suggestive. Now I don't know if they're wanting me for a twosome or something, I don't know how they work it. But I'll tell you what, it scared me. I was shaking like a leaf, so without thinking I lit up a cigarette to calm me nerves. I was trembling, I was very emotional and that when all the rest of it happened. It's very regrettable. Now, I don't want to kick up a fuss, right, press charges... contact the British embassy. I'd rather not pursue those channels, that's not my style. I'm not that sort of a bloke. I don't want to lose the man his job. Man's got to eat. And I'm sure he's not representative of all you Spanish people. But I would appreciate it if you had a word with him, let him know he's been rumbled. The one with the ginger hair.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings - Unexpected Consequences of a Misguided Role
Trevor Slattery:
Well, some time ago, I was offered the role of a terrorist. I know, facile, trite, I couldn't agree more. But times were lean, you know what I mean? Anyway, the producer told me he worked for the BBC. But, ironic twist, it turns out he, in fact, was a terrorist. And I wasn't playing a character at all, but what I now recognize to be a rather unflattering portrait of your father. We all got our just desserts. The producer got blown up by Iron Man, and I served time in federal prison, which turned out to be the best thing for me. I got clean, I rediscovered my passion.
Shang-Chi: [[w:All Hail the King|And then my dad broke you out]

Hugo - The Illusion of Happy Endings
Georges Méliès:
Magic tricks and illusion became my speciality. The world of imagination. My beautiful wife was my muse, my star, and we couldn't have been happier. We thought it would never end. How could it? But then the war came. And youth and hope were at an end. The world had no time for magic tricks and movie shows. The returning soldiers, having seen so much of reality, were bored by my films. Tastes had changed, but I had not changed with them. No one wanted my movies anymore. Eventually I... I couldn't pay the actors... or keep the business running, and... and so my enchanted castle fell to ruin. Everything was lost. One night, in bitter despair, I... I burned all my old sets and costumes. I was forced to sell my movies to a company that melted them down into chemicals. These chemicals were used to make shoe heels. With the little money I had from selling my films, I bought the toy booth... and there I have remained. The only thing I couldn't bring myself to destroy was my beloved automaton. So, I gave him to a museum, hoping he would find a home. But they never put him on display. And then the museum burned. It's all gone now. Everything I ever made. Nothing but ashes and fading strips of celluloid. My life has taught me one lesson, Hugo, and not the one I thought it would. Happy endings only happen in the movies.
