But I don't think I've said somethin when I was drunk and I've forgotten it. But if I did, then tell me what it was. And I'll say sorry for that too Colm. With all me heart, I'll say sorry. Just stop running away from me like some fool of a moody school child.

A.I. Artificial Intelligence - The Consequences of Climate Change and Artificial Intelligence

Narrator: Those were the years when the icecaps melted due to the greenhouse gases and the oceans had risen and drowned so many cities along all the shorelines of the world. Amsterdam, Venice, New York forever lost. Millions of people were displaced. Climate became chaotic. Hundreds of millions of people starved in poorer countries. Elsewhere a high degree of prosperity survived when most governments in the developed world introduced legal sanctions to license pregnancies. Which was why robots, who were never hungry and did not consume resources beyond those of their first manufacture were so essential an economic link in the chain mail society.

Lord Johnson-Johnson: [Showing David off to the Flesh Fair crowd; crowd stares silently; as David pleads to be spared; crowd pelts him with rocks and garbage] Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls and children of all ages! What will they think of next? See here! A bitty-bot, a tinker-toy, a living doll. Of course, we all know why they made them. To steal your hearts, to replace your children. This is the latest iteration in a series of insults to human dignity, and in their grand scheme to phase out all of God's little children. Meet the next generation of child, designed to do just that. Do not be fooled by the artistry of this creation. No doubt there was talent in the crafting of this simulator. Yet with the very first strike, you will see the big lie come apart before your very eyes! Built like a boy to disarm us! See how they try to imitate our emotions now! Whatever performance this sim puts on, remember: we are only demolishing artificiality! Let he who is without sim cast the firs stone.
Junky Mecha: Would you be so kind and shut down my pain receivers?
Narrator: That was the everlasting moment he had been waiting for. And the moment had passed, for Monica was sound asleep. More than merely asleep. Should he shake her, she would never rouse. So David went to sleep, too. And for the first time in his life, he went to that place, where dreams are born.

Yuri: Nooks and crannies, yes! Perhaps this would be more accurate. Nooks and crannies rather than alcoves. Yeah! You are going to do it, aren't you? Mr. Waters would be very disappointed.

Fine.
Ken: You've got five grams of coke?
Ray: [''Shakes head''] I got four grams on me and one gram in me which is why me heart is going like the fucking clappers as if I'm about to have a heart attack, so if I collapse any minute now please remember to tell the doctors it might have something to do with the coke.

In Bruges - Debate on Deadly Skills and Misconceptions

Ray: I killed a little boy. You keep bringing up a fucking lollipop man.
Ken: You didn't mean to kill a little boy.
Ray: [''Pause''] I know I didn't mean to... but because of the choices I made, and the course that I put into action, that little boy isn't here anymore, and he'll never be here again. I mean here in the world, not here in Belgium. Well he'll never be here in Belgium either, will he? I mean, he might've wanted to come here when he got older. Don't know why.
