The Spanish Prisoner - The Consequences of Moral Indebtedness
Jimmy Dell:
I think you'll find that if what you've done for them is as valuable as you say it is, if they are indebted to you morally but not legally, my experience is they will give you nothing, and they will begin to act cruelly toward you.
Joe Ross:
Why?
Jimmy Dell:
To suppress their guilt.

The Spanish Prisoner - The Process and Market Control Discussion
George Lang:
The Process. And by means of the Process, to control the global market.
Businessman 1:
And this Process is complete?
George Lang:
It's near completion.
Businessman 1:
Near completion.
George Lang:
Very near. This team which Mr. Ross — the Team. The Team. And I think, if I may, uh, Mr. Klein, it would not be amiss to state that both the work and the inspiration for the process was —
Mr. Klein:
Thank you, George. I know you'll understand when I say that's neither here nor there. These gentlemen have come down to hear the good news.
Joe Ross:
The good news is control of the market.
Joe Ross:
Obviously, we don't want to get too specific, for security reasons. So, my task today is to tell you those things which I can in laymen's language. I think I can break it down sufficiently to give you a pretty firm idea of —
Mr. Klein:
The Process, yes.
Businessman 2:
How long can we hold on to it before the competition steals it?
Mr. Klein:
Well, we defend it. Of course. Tooth and nail. This is a proprietary process.
Joe Ross: [He hesitates and looks at George.]
Without the data, without our actual data, without the formula, the Japanese, or anyone else, for that matter, would have nothing. Should you give us the go-ahead, their actual —
George Lang:
The legal issues are these. We have both the de facto and the de jure copyright of that process. It was developed by —
Joe Ross:
Even if they should engage in piracy, their search and development time —
George Lang:
— their catch-up time —
Joe Ross:
— would put them back — George?
George Lang:
Three?
Joe Ross:
Three to five years.

Singles - Confession of Regret and Love
Steve Dunne:
Linda, uh, it's me. I had to call you. It's about midnight. I was just having many beers. And, uh, I just wanted to say what I should have said at the dock. I fucking chickened out when I acted casual, like Mr. Casual. I should have said it. You... belong... with... me! We belong together. And what really pisses me off is that, now that we're really talking, you thought I proposed to you only because you were pregnant. What's that about?! I mean... hey, this is not the bathroom! And you know maybe if I had said some of these things at the dock it would have made a difference because... but I think we made a big mistake because...we had good times and we had bad times, but we had times. And I would like to start over. I would like to be new to you. I want to be new to you. I want to be Mr. New. So call me back if you want to. But this is the last time I'll call. And, if you really needed to know how I feel, how I really feel, that's how I feel. I love you. And that's something you should know, so I won't bother you again. So, good night. And good bye. And call me back. Good bye.

Singles - Complicated Relationships and Regrets
Steve Dunne:
I broke up with someone recently: Jennifer, my last girlfriend. I did it in a crowded restaurant. She just stared at me with that look: How can you pass me up? I told her we weren't right and all the stuff we both knew. A week later I realized I was wrong, tried to get back together with her. She won't see me. Now she's with Tony. Tony knows my friend Bailey, who's friends with the girl Tony's going out with on the side, Rita. Rita who I broke up with to go out with Jennifer. So now do I tell Jennifer that I know Tony's going out with Rita or do I tell Rita that I know about Tony and Jennifer? Tony will tell Jennifer that I was still going out with Rita while I was going out with her. How does stuff get so complicated? I don't know.

Duma - Crafting a Simple Floral Bottle
Xan: [observing Peter as he is biting a flower]
What on earth are you doing?
Peter:
Well, this is simple. You just grab a shaker, fill it up, stuff in the flower and you have... a bottle.
Tourist #1: [brings a bowl of milk]
Here you are.
Peter:
Cheers!
Xan: [as the cub bites him]
Ah! He's feisty, dad.
Peter:
See if this helps.
Xan: [as the cub begins to drink a little bit]
Hey, he's drinking it!
Peter:
Good.
Xan:
Black streaks all along his face. You know what that means?
Peter:
What?
Xan:
A cheetah!
Peter:
A cheetah? Yeah. How long would you like to keep him, Xan? Of course there is something you need to realize... we can't keep him like we keep the others. One day we'll set him lose, when he's big enough.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose - Skepticism in the Face of Unconventional Beliefs
Ethan Thomas:
I'm looking at your list of published articles, doctor. You've been quite busy, prolific. So, based on your time spent with holy rollers, snake handlers, voodoo priestesses and Indians tripping on peyote buds, based on observing these bizarre individuals, you've concluded that possession is a basic typical human experience?
Dr. Adani:
I must say, counselor, that's quite a laundry list of disdain and one that thoroughly mischaracterizes my research.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose - Conflict Between Faith and Legal Duty
Ethan Thomas:
So, the judge thinks we should offer your client a new plea agreement. Apparently she thinks the community would be better served without this trial.
Erin Bruner:
How do you feel about it, personally?
Ethan Thomas:
My job is to represent the interest of the people, make an effort to be objective.
Erin Bruner:
Hm. I ask because I know you're a churchgoer. Now you're sent to prosecute a man of God.
Ethan Thomas:
Your priest broke the law and a young girl is dead. If he's a man of God, then personally I think he's even more subject to the laws of moral behavior and punishment. If it were up to me he'd get no deal at all.
Erin Bruner:
What about forgiveness and compassion? Isn't that part of your creed or does that just get in the way of your work?
Ethan Thomas:
If you have compassion for your client, counselor, you'll persuade him to accept this: Charges reduced to reckless endangerment, 12 months in a county jail, reducible to 6 plus probation if he can stay out of trouble. Somehow I expect he can manage that, but please understand me... if he refuses I will seek the maximum.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose - Justice for Emily Rose in Court
Ethan Thomas: [to courtroom]
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Ethan Thomas. I'm the assistant district attorney, and I represent the people. In the case before you, the evidence will show that the victim had a serious medical condition that demanded treatment. We will prove that the victim's condition rendered her physically and psychologically incapable of caring for herself. Her care was then wholly entrusted to that man, the defendant, Father Richard Moore. She became his responsibility, and he betrayed that responsibility by persuading her to abandon her medical treatment in favor of religious treatment: a ritual exorcism performed by the defendant, allegedly to cure the victim by ridding her of demonic forces. We will demonstrate that this course of action directly resulted in the victim's death. I said a moment ago that I represent the people. We all know what that means, but it's a little abstract, isn't it? Miss Bruner, the attorney for the defense is seated right next to the man she represents. And I stand here to represent the people. That's not really why I stand here today. I'm here on behalf of someone who can't sit at a table and look at you every day and gain your sympathy, someone who can't take the stand to testify and tell you what happened in her own words. A young girl that could've been your daughter. Could've been mine. A girl who trusted Father Richard Moore with her life. This is what she looked like, before the defendant began his religious treatment. This is a photograph taken of her on the day that she died. I stand here for Emily Rose who died horribly at age 19. You won't be able to see Emily sitting here day after day during this trial. But I hope you'll remember her as she was when she was alive and full of hopes and dreams. And as she was when Father Richard Moore was finished with her... and left her to die. Thank you.
