Silent Running - Caring for Dreams and Nature's Beauty
Freeman Lowell:
You don’t think it’s time somebody cared enough to have a dream? What about the forests? You don't think anyone should care about these forests? What's going to happen if these forests and all this incredible beauty is lost for all time?

Silent Running - Lost Messages in the Ocean

Silent Running - The Loss of Nature's Simple Wonders
Freeman Lowell:
Look on the wall behind you. Look at that little girl's face. I know you've seen it. But do you know what she is never going to be able to see? She's never going to be able to see the simple wonder of a leaf in her hand. Because there is not going to be any trees. Now, you think about that.

Silent Running - The Consequences of Indifference and Complacency
Freeman Lowell:
Every time we have the argument, you say the same thing to me, you give me the same three answers all the time, the same thing, "well, everybody has a job," that's always the last one. But, you know what else there is no more of, my friend, there is no more beauty, there is no more imagination, and there are no frontiers left to conquer, and do you know why? Only one reason why: one reason why, the same attitude that you three guys are giving me right here in this room today, and that is: nobody cares.

Freeman Lowell:

Silent Running - Nostalgia for Earth's Natural Beauty
Freeman Lowell:
It calls back a time when there were flowers all over the Earth. And there were valleys. And there were plains of tall, green grass that you could lie down in... that you could go to sleep in. And, there were blue skies, and there was fresh air, and there were things growing all over the place, not just in some domed enclosures blasted some millions of miles out into space!

Well, I didn't have nothin else to do! And they was gonna set the bars in, whether I helped them out or not!
Pa Danby:
Yeah, well, they'll hang you, whether you help them out or not!
Joe Danby:
Oh, Pa, I don't think they're gonna hang me. I mean, they joke and they laugh about it, but I don't think they're really gonna do it!
Pa Danby:
Ah, you'll soon see whether they'll hang you or-

Hi, Pa!
Pa Danby: [staring in disbelief as he enters the unfinished cells]
What is this? No bars in the window, no bars in the cell... no bars nowhere! What's keepin you in here?!
Joe Danby:
That guy out there! He won't let me move two inches, without jumpin down my throat! Besides, he lies to me about whether or not my gun is loaded.
Pa Danby:
He does WHAT?!
Joe Danby:
Are you gonna get me outta here or not?
Pa Danby:
...Never mind that! Who was it ye killed?
Joe Danby: [pause]
I don't know his name, he was some bum in the saloon! Besides, he drew first! What, are you gonna believe me, or are you gonna believe that liar out there?!
Pa Danby:
Why don't you shut up?!

Support Your Local Sheriff! - Confrontation Over Unfollowed Rules
Jason McCullough: [Joe jumps and starts to pull his revolver out of the holster]
Joe. I took the bullets out. You just won't play the game, will you? I keep layin down the rules, and you don't pay any attention.
Joe Danby: [glowers as he hands over the gun and belt]
You just wait til my Pa and two brothers find out you got me in here, boy.
Jason McCullough: [he leads Joe back inside the jail]
Oh, I'm lookin forward to meetin your whole family.
Joe Danby:
If it weren't bad enough that I had to get dragged outta that saloon in front of all my friends...
Jason McCullough:
Oh, I don't think you have all that many friends that you really need to worry.
Joe Danby: [he returns to the cell and sits down]
Then I have to sit there in that lousy cell! Pa's gonna skin me alive for gettin caught!
Jason McCullough:
He don't mind you murdering a man, he just doesn't like you gettin caught, huh?
Joe Danby: [holds out his wrists as McCullough puts handcuffs on him]
I didn't murder anybody, that was self-defense! It was him or me!
Jason McCullough:
Well, we'll let the judge decide that. Ah, we...do have a judge around here, don't we?
Joe Danby:
We never needed one til you came along and ruined everything!
Jason McCullough:
Spoiled all your fun, huh, Joe?

Support Your Local Sheriff! - Debating the Nature of Self-Defense
Joe Danby: [having just killed a man in a draw at the saloon]
Alright, y'all saw it! And it was a fair fight. He drew first... so it's self-defense.
Bartender:
Oh, I saw it, Joe, he drew first!
Barfly:
Oh, you couldn't call that anything but self-defense!
Jason McCullough:
Well, it may have been a lot of things, but self-defense it wasn't. And he didn't draw first; you did.
Joe Danby:
...What do you mean by that?
Jason McCullough:
Oh, it's an old trick. You did it pretty well; not really well, but pretty well. You feinted him into drawing with your left shoulder, while you were going for your gun with your right hand. It's an old Arizona trick, but I- I have seen it used as far north as Montana.
Joe Danby: [nods]
... Are you callin me a liar?
Jason McCullough:
Well, now you heard every word I said, and not once did I call you a liar. All I said was, you feinted him with your left shoulder into going for his gun while you were going for yours with your right hand.
Joe Danby:
So what?
Jason McCullough: [coldly]
You beat that poor man to the draw. He's dead, and you're alive; that's the whole idea of the game, isn't it?
Joe Danby:
... What's your name?
Jason McCullough:
Jason McCullough. What's yours?
Joe Danby:
Joe Danby. And you had better remember it.
Jason McCullough: [sarcastically; finishes his drink and leaves]
Oh, I'll remember it, Joe. That's about all I'm gonna do, the rest of my life, is go around rememberin your name.

Nebraska - A Request for Meatloaf at Dinner
Kate Grant:
Why do you want meatloaf if it isn't even on the dinner menu?
Woody Grant:
Cause I like it.
Waitress:
What can I get you?

Do you have any meatloaf?

No, that's only part of our lunch specials.

Fried.

Down Periscope - Concerns Over Navy Equipment and Personal Choices
Rear Admiral Yancy Graham: [Objecting at a meeting of flag officers regarding Dodge's command]
There is physical evidence that, as an ensign, he did become so physically intoxicated that he not only allowed himself to be tattooed, but tattooed on his genitalia. Now, call me a prude if you want, but I don't think it's good policy for the Navy to hand over a billion-dollar piece of equipment to a man who has "Welcome Aboard" tattooed on his penis!

The Haunting - The Comfort of Chains and Fences
Eleanor:
Why do you need so many chains?
Mr. Dudley:
That's a good question. What is it about fences? Sometimes the people on either side of the fence see a lock chain, they feel a little more comforted. Why do you suppose that is?

What?
Eleanor:
Explain. What happened?
Carl:
Don't look at me. You were with the boy every day. He's incredibly strong.
Eleanor: [''To orderly'']
What?
Orderly:
Lee wants to see your ass in his office right now. We are so screwed.

I had nothing to do with it.

The Peanut Butter Falcon - Friendship and Family in Unlikely Places
Carl: [''Bends apart metal bars on window using cloth'']
You put this all over your body. It's soap. It'll make you slippery. I was an engineer before. I don't know if I ever told you that. But that's as good as I could get. You just slip through there, and off you go on your way. Okay, bud?
Zak:
Carl, you are my best friend. And... and you are my family.
Carl:
Well, that's it. Friends are the family you choose.
Zak:
And, Carl? You are invited to my birthday party.
Carl: [''Hugs Zak deeply'']
Oh, God. Thank you. I'm there. Go kick some ass.

The Peanut Butter Falcon - Inspiration from a Heroic Figure
Video Salt Water Redneck: [''Zak mimics throwing'']
...Salt Water, some people claim the Atomic Throw is impossible. Those people are wimps! If you believe in yourself, like the Salt Water Redneck believes in himself, you too can learn the moves, the skills, the Atomic Throw. Some of these moves are outlawed in international countries.
Carl:
We watched that throw ten times already.
Zak:
I love Salt Water Redneck, and he is my hero, and he is totally... he is totally a badass. And he's the greatest person ever. That's it.
Carl:
And you will be the next badass.
Eleanor: [''Comes in and turns off TV'']
Zak, you and Rosemary have both lost your privileges for the week.
Zak:
Oh, I really don't care.
Eleanor:
Oh.
Carl:
I got the solution for that. Move Rosemary in her with him and I. I can keep an eye on both of them.
Eleanor:
Oh! That'd be great. I'll set that right up.
Carl:
Yeah, sure.
Eleanor: [''Holds up pictorial request paper to Zak'']
Zak, this is not a joke. That's twice. Two times that you've tried to run. And no I have to label you a flight risk. That sucks. Is that what you gave Rosemary to convince her to pretend be choking?
Zak:
Yes, it is.
Eleanor:
It's really creative.
Zak:
Thank you.
Carl:
Not just creative. It's genius. You know why? That's an advertisement for what he wants to do for the rest of his life!
Eleanor:
Carl.
Zak:
I don't know her. I am young, and I am not old. Carl is old. And we are different. And I don't know why I am here.
Eleanor:
I wish I had a better option for you, Zak. But I don't. You don't have a family that can provide adequate supervision for you. I know. So that the state has to put you somewhere, and this just happens to be that place.
Carl:
You been here two years?
Zak:
Two and a half years.
Carl:
We gotta fix that.
Eleanor:
Just try to be good. Okay? Tell me you'll try.
Zak:
Fine.

Monster - Understanding Guilt and Circumstance in Survival
Aileen:
Everybody just thinks I'm this bad shitty fucking person, and all I'm fucking tryin to do is survive, you know?
Thomas:
I know. I know what you do for a living. It doesn't bother me. I know you didn't dial it up on a goddamn telephone. That's where you landed. That's what you had to do. What you're feeling right now is just guilt, over something you had absolutely no control over. You know how many of us came back from the war? And almost killed ourselves because we felt exactly the same thing you do, right now.
Aileen:
Yeah?
Thomas:
Yeah. And they'll never get it. They'll never get it now, they never got it then, and they sure as hell won't get fucking circumstance!
Aileen:
Fuck, man, circumstance, that's exactly it, that's exactly it. You know I feel like I never even had a fucking choice.
Thomas:
You never did. But you gotta live. You gotta live.
