Joe: Right.
Billy Mack: And I realized that as dire chance and fateful cockup would have it, here I am, mid 50s, and without knowing it I've gone and spent most of my adult life with a chubby employee. And much as it grieves me to say it, it might be that the people I love is, in fact... you.
Joe: Well, this is a surprise.
Billy Mack: Yeah...
Joe: Ten minutes at Elton John's and you're as gay as a maypole.
Billy Mack: I left Elton's, where there were a hefty number of half-naked chicks with their mouths open, in order to hang out with you, at Christmas.
Joe: Well, Bill...
Billy Mack: It's a terrible, terrible mistake, Chubs, but you turn out to be the fucking love of my life. And to be honest, despite all my complaining, we have had a wonderful life.

Barbara Covett: [voiceover] By the time I took my seat in the Gods, the opera was well into its final act.
Richard Hart: You're his teacher!
Sheba Hart: And you were mine! I'm not justifying. I'm not trying to justify it...
Richard Hart: You are so full of shit! It's totally different. You were twenty!
Sheba Hart: He's sixteen in May. He's not some innocent...
Richard Hart: Of course he's innocent! He's fucking fifteen! Are you insane? If you meant to destroy us, why not do it with an adult? That's the convention, it's worked for centuries!

Richard Hart: Excuse me. Could one of you tell me what's going on? Is this some kind of coven?

Underworld - Questioning the News of Lucian's Death

Viktor: Lucian is dead!
Singe: According to whom?

Underworld - Bloodlines and the Legacy of Corvinus

Singe: For years, we've been trying to combine the bloodlines. And for years, we've failed. It was useless. Even at the cellular level, our species seemed destined to destroy each other. Yet the key, we knew, was to locate the rarest of bloodlines; a direct descendant of Alexander Corvinus: Hungarian; a warlord who came to power in the early seasons of the 5th century. Just in time to watch a plague ravage his village. He alone survived. Somehow, his body was able to change the disease, mold it to his benefit. He became the first true immortal. And years later, he fathered at least two children who inherited this same trait.
Viktor: The sons of the Corvinus Clan: One bitten by bat, one by wolf, one to walk the lonely road of mortality as a human. It's a ridiculous legend, nothing more!
Singe: That may be, but our species do share a common ancestor.
Viktor: There is a descendant of Corvinus lying there, not three feet from you.
Singe: Yes, but he is already a Vampire. We needed a pure source, untainted; an exact duplicate of the original virus. The Corvinus Strain itself, which we learned was hidden away in the genetic code of his human descendants. Passed along in its dormant form, down through the ages, to Michael Corvin. His blood allows for a perfect union of our two species.

Underworld - The Unbroken Chain of Elders

Viktor: The Chain has never been broken, not once, not in fourteen centuries, not since we Elders first began to clubhouse through time. One awake, two asleep; that's the way of it. It is Marcus's turn to reign, not mine!

About Time - Navigating Expectations of Time Travel

Tim: It's just... I though with the time thing...

Dad: [[fact] Don't. In ], feel the opposite. The only people who give up work at 50 are the time travelers with cancer who want to play more table tennis with their sons.

Dad: [[moment] This is an odd ] for me because I had the same moment with my father when I'd just turned 21, and after it, my life was never the same so I approach it pretty, um, nervously.
Tim: [[mysterious] Okay. When you're ready. It's all very ].
Dad: [[fact; [strangeness; [secret; Tim stares at him; [future] Uh... Right. Tim, my dear son, the uh... The simple ] is the men in this family have always had the ability to...

Tim: [[joke] This is such a weird ].
Dad: It's seriously not a joke.
Tim: So you're saying that you and granddad, and his brothers could all travel back in time?
Dad: Absolutely.
Tim: And you still do?
Dad: [[life; [remember; [Hitler; [w:Helen of Troy|Helen of Troy] Absolutely. Although it's not as dramatic as it sounds. It's only in my own ]. I can only go to places where I actually was and can ]. I can't kill ] or shag ], unfortunately.
Tim: [sighs] Okay, stop. Um... If it's true, which it isn't —
Dad: Although it is.
Tim: [[obviously] Although it isn't, ]. But if it was, which it's not —
Dad: Which it is.
Tim: Which it isn't.

About Time - Proud Fatherhood and the Value of Kindness

Dad: Later on I may tell you about Tim's many failings as a man and as a table tennis player. But, important first is to say the one big thing. I've only loved three men in my life. My dad was a frosty bugger so that only leaves dear Uncle Desmond, B.B. King, obviously, and this young man here. I'd only give one piece of advice to anyone marrying. We're all quite similar in the end. We all get old and tell the same tales too many times. But try and marry someone kind. And this is a kind man with a good heart. I'm not particularly proud of many things in my life, but I am very proud to be the father of my son.

Davy Jones: The Dutchman sails as it's captain commands.
Lord Beckett: [Davy Jones bows head in shame] And it's captain is to sail it as commanded! I would have thought you'd had learned that when I ordered you to kill your pet. This is no longer your world, Jones. The immaterial has become...immaterial.
