Godzilla - Desperation Amidst a Crisis

Joe Brody: I'll meet them down there myself. Put the safety doors on manual override.
Takashi: Joe, I cannot do that!
Joe Brody: Keep the doors open! My wife is still in there!

Godzilla - Family Updates Amidst Chaos

Joe Brody: Hey! How's Elle doing? And Sam? Oh, my god! He must be, what, three? Three and a half?
Ford Brody: He's almost five.

Godzilla - Desperation for Truth Amidst Chaos

Joe Brody: [fumes at Japanese officials over him and Ford being caught at Janjira; sighs; points to Japanese guard; Where is my son?; stands up; brushes off official's appeal; to Dr. Serizawa and Dr. Graham; later sits down; reacts to flickering lights] You're not fooling anybody when you say that what happened 15 years ago was a natural disaster, all right? It was not an earthquake, it wasn't a typhoon, okay?! So stop... I'm tired of talking to you about this. I want to see my son. I want to know that he's alright. This guy, this guy knows. Musuko wa, doko da? I want my son, and I want my bags, and discs, and I want to talk to somebody in charge. No, not you. I'm done talking to you! Alright? You're looking at me, right now, like I'm in a fish tank, right? That's fine, because I know what happened. You keep telling everybody that this place is a death zone, but it's NOT! You're lying. Because what's really happening, is that you're hiding something out there. I'm right, aren't I? MY WIFE DIED HERE! Something...killed my wife...AND I HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW! I deserve answers! See? You see? There it is again! That is not a transformer malfunction, that is an electromagnetic pulse! It affects everything electrical from miles and miles, and it is happening again! This is what caused everything in the first place! Don't you see that?! And it's gonna send us back to the Stone Age! You have no idea what's coming!

Argo - CIA's Hollywood Operations Discussed in Meeting

Stansfield Turner: You're telling me there's a movie office in Hollywood right now that's funded by the CIA.
Tony Mendez: Yes, sir.
Cyrus Vance: What's wrong with the bikes again?
Jack O'Donnell: We tried to get the message upstairs.
Turner: You think... You think this is more plausible than teachers?
O'Donnell: Yes we do. One, there are no more foreign teachers in Iran.
Mendez: [[Pol Pot] And, we think everybody knows Hollywood people. And everybody knows they would shoot in Stalingrad with ] directing if it'd sell tickets. There are only bad options. It's about finding the best one.
Turner: You don't have a better bad idea than this?
O'Donnell: This is the best bad idea we have, sir. By far.
Turner: [short pause] The United States government just sanctioned your science fiction movie.

Argo - Bicycle Escape Plan for Hostages

Robert Pender: What we like for this now are bicycles. We've identified back roads from the Shemiran district — a couple of rat lines through the mountains to the crossing at Tabriz. Cars are off the table because of the roadblocks.
Jon Bates: We wait until the weather clears up then deliver the six bikes, provide them with maps to the Turkish border.
Adam Engell: We have intelligence they can ride bicycles or we’re prepared to send in somebody to teach them.
Tony Mendez: Or you could just send in training wheels and meet them at the border with Gatorade. It's 300 miles to the Turkish crossings. They'd need a support crew behind them with a tire pump.
Engell: We've only been asked to sharpshoot this, State's handling the op.
Pender: Who is...?
Jack O'Donnell: [[w:Shah Reza Pahlavi|Shah] Tony's an exfil spesh. He got a lot of the ]'s people out after the fall.
Mendez: Sir, if these people can read or add, pretty soon they're gonna figure out they're six short of a full deck. It's winter. You can't wait around until spring when it's nice enough to take a bike ride. The only way out of that city is the airport. You build new cover identities for them, you send in a Moses, he takes them out on a commercial flight.
Bates: We've explored those options.
Engell: They're never going to get past airport control. Komiteh own the place.
Bates: They could pose as reporters. The government issued seventy-something visas for American journalists.
Mario Malinov: Seventy-four. And the Revolutionary Guards keep them on 74 leashes.
Mendez: [[w:Peter Jennings|Peter Jennings'; ...] If they're caught with fake journalist creds, it's ] head in a noose in an hour. Sir, exfils are like abortions. You don't want to need one, but when you do, you don't do it yourself.

Argo - Challenges of Rescuing Embassy Hostages

Jack O'Donnell: The six of them went out a back exit. Brits turned them away, Kiwis turned them away, Canadians took them in. Traffic calls them the Houseguests'; they haven't left the Canadian ambassador's house since it happened.
Tony Mendez: Why didn't we get them ten weeks ago?
O'Donnell: [[w:Revolutionary Guards|Revolutionary Guards] Too dangerous. You've got ] going door to door like Jehovah's Witnesses. Half of them think Khomeini's been too lenient on the ones in the embassy.
Mendez: What about the White House?
O'Donnell: [[w:Cyrus Vance|Vance] Carter's shitting enough bricks to build the pyramids. The Canadians are done; they say they're bearing too much risk. Their foreign secretary corners ] in Brussels and told him she wants the six of them out.
Mendez: Who else knows?
O'Donnell: Just the families. Meanwhile, some genius in our embassy was keeping a mug book on everybody who worked there.
Mendez: Jesus Christ!
O'Donnell: We think it got shredded before they got in. But now the bastards are using sweatshop kids to reassemble the shreds, and once they reassemble that book, they'll know six Americans got out and they'll know what they look like. Standing room only for beheadings in the square.
Mendez: Who's handling?
O'Donnell: State is coordinating in house.
Mendez: State? They don't do exfils.
O'Donnell: They do now. They want to run it by us, strictly as consultants. Engell says its a lose-lose. These people die, they die badly. Publicly. State wants the blame, we'll give it to them.
Mendez: What does he want me here for?
O'Donnell: So he can tell State he ran it by his best exfil guy.

Argo - Seeking Recognition Beyond the Spotlight

Jack O'Donnell: [Explaining the lack of fanfare regarding the awarding of Mendez' Intelligence Star] If we wanted applause, we would have joined the circus.

Drive - Value Beyond Appearance in High-Stakes Conversations

Nino: You paid three-hundred fucking grand for this piece of shit?
Bernie Rose: I paid for it - out of my own pocket. This is just the shell; it's the inside that counts, not the outside, right Shannon?
Shannon: You are correct, sir.
Nino: Fuck that shit; I pay three-hundred for something, I want everybody to fucking see it!
Bernie Rose: Of course you do.
Nino: [sees a collectible car] Now this... that is one motherfucking, fine-ass, pussy-mobile, motha-fucka'! Damn!
Bernie Rose: Shannon, sell him the car.
Shannon: He wouldn't be able to find pussy in a whore house...
Shannon: [begins hobbling over to Nino] You know what? This car will even make you good-looking.
Nino: I'm already good-looking, pal.

Drive - Meeting of Unlikely Allies

Shannon: Kid, I want you to meet Mr. Bernie Rose!
Bernie Rose: [Sticks out his hand to shake; Driver does not take it] Nice to meet you.

Drive - A Special Driver's Unique Potential

Bernie Rose: What do you got that the big professional race teams don't?
Shannon: I got the driver.
Bernie Rose: You just told me they had half a dozen drivers.
Shannon: Not like this. This kid is special. I've been working with him for a while. I've never seen anything like it. If I had the money, I'd back him myself.
Bernie Rose: Yeah, but you don't have the money.
Shannon: Mr. Rose, you put this kid behind the wheel, there's nothing he can't do.

Drive - Questioning the Town's Missing Ashtrays

Shannon: What happened to all the ashtrays in this town?

Drive - Unusual motivations behind a reckless act

Shannon: A lot of guys mess around with married women, but you're the only one I know who robs a joint just to pay back the husband. Crazy.

The Lincoln Lawyer - Anticipating Retirement in Law Enforcement

Mickey Haller: When do you retire, Lankford?
Detective Lankford: When do I retire?
Detective Lankford: Eighteen months. Why?
