Too Big to Fail - Accountability in Financial Crisis Management
John Mack:
Paulson's got 100,000 employees. Geithner has 200 lawyers. Frigging Chris Cox has 3,000 people. Not a single one of those assholes could pick up a phone, call the British, find out if there was a deal to be made before they spend the weekend sweating us for cash?
Jamie Dimon:
Somebody dropped the ball.
John Mack:
They didn't drop the ball. They dropped the ball, kicked the coach in the nuts and took a crap in the quarterback's mouth.

The Killer Inside Me - Consequences of Violence and Indifference
Billy Boy Walker:
You said you didn't want anyone else to get hurt. You meant it?

The Killer Inside Me - Perspective on Nature and Belonging
Billy Boy Walker:
A weed is a plant out of place. I find a hollyhock in my cornfield, and it's a weed. I find it in my yard, and it's a flower. You're in my yard.

American Ultra - Consequences of Unauthorized Government Operations
Krueger:
You directly interfered with a government operation. And as a result, you caused the deaths of innocent civilians. Is that correct?
Victoria:
Yes, sir.
Yates:
You're absolutely right, sir. Thanks to Lasseter activating Howell, seven American citizens are now dead.
Krueger:
This is an operation that you created and spearheaded without any authorization, is that correct?
Yates:
Yes, sir. But you have to understand, I was self-starting.
Krueger:
Excuse me?
Yates:
Did I make some mistakes? You know, I did. Did I take some shortcuts? Sure. But in the end, I was just doing what I needed to do to create a cost-efficient exploit of a system already put in place. And if I'd pulled it off, you'd be thanking me. Right? Come on, you'd be fucking thanking me, right?
Krueger:
Yeah.
Yates:
Okay! Thank you.
Victoria:
I don't know if this is appropriate, but please do not kill me.
Krueger:
I'm your source. When I called to notify you that the sweep was happening, I did it out of respect and courtesy. And you've made me regret that now. It was not my intention for you to act like a child and try to save your puppy. The puppy was going down, I was notifying you of the puppy's death. But the puppy just shit all over everything! You have a crazy, scary rabid puppy that murders people and will still need to be put down. You understand that, correct?
Victoria:
Yes, sir.
Krueger: [looks to Yates]
You better pray you can find a way to turn this into a win and pull a miracle out of your ass. Because if you can't, that's you.
Victoria:
You already have your miracle, sir. My program worked. Wiseman beat Toughguy. Mike Howell eliminated 17 Toughguy assets single-handedly. That makes him the most effective asset we've ever seen in any of the Ultra programs. Ever! In 60 years. Pardon me for saying it, sir, but that is a puppy worth saving. That is a $400 million puppy. And you have him sitting in a holding cell right now.

The Last Seduction - Desperation and Threats in a Dangerous Game
Clay Gregory: [to Bridget]
I borrowed 100K from a man whose first and last names end in vowels, and every week I owe him a new thousand dollars in interest. And when I come up just a little short, he's got this very fun game that he likes to play with thumbs. I hired a private detective for fifty percent, but now that I know where you are, I am perfectly willing to spend all the money I have in hiring a clinical sociopath to take it from you, and fuck you through the eye socket just for fun!

Casper - Reframing the Concept of Ghosts
Dr. James Harvey:
You can call them ghosts, if you'd like, or as I like to call them, "the living-impaired".

Independence Day: Resurgence - A Father's Concern Amidst Chaos
President Thomas Whitmore:
It's good to see you flying again. Your place is in the air.
Patricia:
You should have let me do this. You saved the world once, Dad.
President Whitmore: [feels his head as the Harvester mothership starts closing its underbelly aperture]
I'm not saving the world, Patty. I'm saving you.
Thomas Adams:
Tom, what's going on?
President Whitmore:
She's in my head.
Adams:
Mr President, you got incoming fighters on your six.
President Whitmore:
Can you get me to the target, Lt. Whitmore?
Patricia:
Yes, sir. Follow me.

Independence Day: Resurgence - Unity and Resolve in the Face of Adversity
David Levinson:
I've had years to get us ready. We never had a chance.
President Whitmore:
We didn't last time, either. We always knew they were coming back. But look how far we've come. In the last 20 years, this planet has been unified in a way that's unprecedented in human history. That's sacred. That's worth fighting for. We convinced an entire generation that this is a battle we could win. And they believed us. We can't let them down. It wasn't luck last time. It was our resolve. We all have to fight till our last breath. And that is going to lead us to victory.

LBJ - Debate on the Farm Bill's Impact
Lyndon B. Johnson:
Senator Yarborough.
Ralph Yarborough:
Mr. Leader, I still don't take a drink. Now, if you've called me in here to ask me about my vote on the Farm Bill, I should tell you that I have not changed my position in the slightest.
Lyndon B. Johnson:
No problem, no problem at all. Uh... But listen, while I've got you here, there's only one question I've been meaning to ask you. Have you got shit for brains? What the hell is your problem with this Farm Bill?
Ralph Yarborough:
We should be doing a heck of a lot more for people who have less.
Lyndon B. Johnson:
The only thing more irritating than a liberal is a liberal from Texas.

Sleepless in Seattle - Expectations in Love and Marriage
Walter:
Look, Annie... I love you. But let's leave that out of this. I don't want to be someone that you're settling for. I don't want to be someone that anyone settles for. Marriage is hard enough without bringing such low expectations into it, isn't it?

Lake Placid - A Night Out in Maine
Kelly Scott:
Doesn't anyone "make a move" around here in Maine?
Jack Wells: [opens the passenger door and moves his bag]
Get in.
Kelly Scott:
You move a bag and that's it? That's your "move"?
Jack Wells:
Come on, I know a good bar where we can get some beers.
Kelly Scott: [gets in and closes the door]
Are the glasses clean?
Jack Wells:
Uhh... yeah. Are you gonna complain like this all night?
Kelly Scott:
Start the car Jack.
Jack Wells:
I miss the crocodile already.

Lake Placid - Incomplete Records and Personal Loss
Mrs. Bickerman:
Oh, my husband passed away. It's been almost two years now.
Sheriff Hank Keough:
My department doesn't have any record of that, Mrs. Bickerman.
Mrs. Bickerman:
Well, I'm sorry. Incomplete records haunt me so.
Jack Wells:
What was the cause of your husband's death, ma'am? Do you know?
Kelly Scott:
We don't mean to invade your privacy, but was he ill, was he sick?
Sheriff Hank Keough:
Was he swallowed?

Lake Placid - Camping Expectations vs. Reality
Sheriff Hank Keough:
Tents were sent ahead. Should already be set up by the time we get there.
Kelly Scott:
Tents? We're staying in TENTS?
Sheriff Hank Keough:
I told you, two days we'd have to camp.
Kelly Scott:
Yes! Camp! But I thought that meant Ramada Inn. I never heard tents! Will there be toilets?
Jack Wells:
Maybe we should just take you back.
Kelly Scott:
Why? Because I prefer toilets? Maybe I should just wipe myself with some leafy little piece of poison oak. And then I can spend the whole day scratchin my ass, blendin in with the natives.

Lake Placid - Condescension and Nature in Lake Placid
Kelly Scott:
The lake is so black and still.
Sheriff Hank Keough:
Yeah, we wanted to call it Lake Placid, but someone said that name was taken.
Jack Wells:
It's not a science trip.
Kelly Scott:
Could you be a little more condescending? Cause I'm not real great with subtlety.
Jack Wells:
Something in that lake killed somebody, all right? I appreciate your trying to help. I'm really glad that you... brought the RAID.
Kelly Scott:
There, that's better.
Jack Wells:
Ma'am...
Kelly Scott:
Look, if you call me "ma'am" one more time I'll sue you, and with today's laws, it's possible.
Sheriff Hank Keough:
She's good.

The Equalizer - Reflections on Life and Survival
Brian Plummer:
You had a nice funeral, in case you were wondering. You know, when they told Susan you were dead, she couldn't comprehend it. She said, "Oh, no. Not Robert." "And not from something as trivial as a car bomb." That you're alive … is a big relief. But it didn't come as a complete surprise to her. We used to talk about you over the years, and she said if anyone could have figured a way out, a way to walk away from it all for good, you know, like a real fresh start … it would have been … You.
