Your Highness - A Journey to Manhood and Duty

King Tallious: It is finally time for you to become a man. You must journey with your brother to rescue his bride.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies - The Dilemma of Marriage and Affection

Mr. Bennet: Lizzy, an unhappy alternative is before you. Your mother will never speak to you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins. And I will never speak to you again if you do.
Mrs. Bennet: (suddenly outraged) Who will maintain you when your father is dead? No one, Elizabeth Bennet! You shall become a poor and pathetic spinster!
Elizabeth Bennet: (almost in tears) Anything! Anything is to be preferred or endured rather than marrying without affection!

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies - A Cautionary Tale of Survival and Vigilance

Mr. Bennet: (in narration) It wasn't always like this my dear daughters. As the century began Britannia was rich with the fruits of worldwide trade. From the colonies there came not just silks and spices but a virulent and abominable plague. Naturally many suspected the French were to blame. Are you surprised? Once bitten, the newly infected were filled with an insatiable hunger for the brains of the living. Millions perished, only to rise again. As legions of undead. So certain it would seem the end of days had come. But even the four horsemen of the apocalypse are said to have ascended from hell. To protect the living, the Grand Barrier was built. A one hundred foot wall, encircling London. Then excavation began on the royal canal. A vast mote thirty fathoms deep surrounding both the city and its walls. The land twixt the two fortifications became known as The Inbetween. At this time it became fashionable to study the deadly arts of the orient. Japan for the wealthy. China for the wise. In the second battle of Kent, one of the bridges that cross the royal canal was breached. Ravenous zombie hordes massacred every villager of The Inbetween. It was said the sight of this slaughter drove young King George mad. When the battle was finally won, he ordered the destruction of all the bridges, save one. Hingham Bridge. Which to this day remains the only means by which to cross the royal canal. Many believed the enemy was finally vanquished. The gentry began to leave the safe confines of London's defenses for their newly fortified country estates. But vigilance is still every essence. Remember this. Keep your swords as sharp as your wit. For the ultimate battle between the living and the undead has yet to be staged.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies - Daughters and Dancing in Unusual Circumstances

Mr. Bennet: Daughters do not dance well with masticated brains.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies - Empowered Daughters: Trained for Battle, Not Kitchen

Mr. Bennet: (to Parson Collins) My daughters are trained for battle, sir, not the kitchen.

Last Action Hero - Misunderstanding Angles in Friendship

Vivaldi: [makes twirling motion with finger] What is this, Benedict? First you're my friend, now you turn a... 360 on me?!
Benedict: 180, you stupid spaghetti-slurping cretin! 180! If I did a 360, I'd go completely around and end up back where I started.
Vivaldi: [confused] ...What?
Benedict: [shoots Vivaldi] Trust me.

Last Action Hero - Henchman Identification in Action Scene

Benedict: I understand you are interested in drug dealers.
Jack: Yes.
Danny: [whispering] Jack, that's him, the henchman with the glass eye.
Jack: Sir, are you a henchman?
Benedict: No, I only go as far as lackey. Anything else?
Jack: Yeah, take off your sunglasses.
Benedict: Who's asking?
Jack: [shows police badge] The Tin Man.
Benedict: Well, Tin Man, suppose you hit the bricks.
Jack: Nah, they're the wrong color.
Benedict: [motions behind them, they turn to see guard dogs; snaps fingers, the dogs form in a pyramid] Are they? Oh dear, by all means let's change them. Would arterial red suit you? Make no mistake, they are exceptionally well-trained. I snap my fingers again and sometime tomorrow, you emerge from several canine recta. Or you and Toto can go back to the land of Oz. Questions?
Jack: [casually lights cigar] Yeah... two of them. Why am I wasting my time on a dimestore putz like you, when I could be doing something more dangerous... like rearranging my sock drawers? And two - how exactly are you going to snap your fingers, after I rip off both of your thumbs?
Benedict: [pausing before revealing smiley-face glass eye] Have a nice day.

Last Action Hero - Confronting the Consequences of Intentional Actions

Benedict: [After shooting a pedestrian dead] HELLO!? I've just shot somebody and I did it on purpose!

Last Action Hero - A Villain's Perspective on Divinity

Benedict: [Directly to the audience] If God was a villain - he'd be me.

Benedict: [To Danny Madigan] I should tell you that I have killed people smarter and younger than you.

Gosford Park - A Conversation About Hearing and Shooting

Raymond Stockbridge: Well I think it's ridiculous. I'm here to shoot.
Louisa Stockbridge: Darling, it's a relief to me to sit next to someone who isn't deaf in one ear.
Raymond Stockbridge: How's that?

Underworld: Awakening - The Consequences of Reckless Youthful Choices

Thomas: Between the first and second Purges, Lycan youth rallied in the same way. Against the prudence of their elders, their calls for violent action carried the day. The result? The werewolves are nearly extinct. Is that what you wish for us? Extinction?

Underworld: Blood Wars - Consequences of Recklessness and Extinction

Thomas: Between the first and second Purges, Lycan youth rallied in the same way. Against the prudence of their elders, their calls for violent action carried the day. The result? The werewolves are nearly extinct. Is that what you wish for us? Extinction.

Dracula Untold - Confrontation Over Innocent Lives Lost

Master Vampire: Do your people know how many innocents you have killed? Was it hundreds?
Vlad: Yes.
Master Vampire: (grabs Vlad by the throat) Lie to me again, and I'll open you from your belly to your brain and feed you your intestines.
Vlad: Thousands!
Master Vampire: And when you put them to the stake, what did you feel? Shame? Horror? Power? ANSWER ME!!!
Vlad: Nothing! I felt nothing. A greater crime than the act itself.

Dracula Untold - The Temptation of Power and Sacrifice

Master Vampire: Drink. You will have a taste of my power: the strength of a hundred men, the speed of a falling star, dominion over the night and all its creatures, to see and hear through their senses... even heal grievous wounds.
Vlad: At what price?
Master Vampire: Once you drink, your thirst for human blood will be insatiable. But if you can resist for three days, you will return to your mortal state, having sampled my power and, perhaps, saved your people.
Vlad: And if I feed?
Master Vampire: The price would be worse than if you'd never stepped in here. For I will be set free, having granted the darkness a worthy offering. You will become its vessel, as I am. A scourge on this earth, destined to destroy everything you hold dear: your lands, your people, even your precious wife and son.
Vlad: I would die before I harmed them.
Master Vampire: Indeed you will, I'm afraid. I, however, will at last be free to unleash my wrath against the one who betrayed me. And one day, I will call on you to serve me, my pawn, in an immortal game of revenge.
Vlad: This is not a game!
Master Vampire: Ahh, but what better way to endure eternity? For this, little prince, is the ultimate game. Light versus dark, hope versus despair. And all the world's fate hangs in the balance.
Vlad: Then it will be my great pleasure to disappoint you.
Master Vampire: Drink. Let the games begin.

Dracula Untold - Desperation in the Face of Darkness

Master Vampire: I have been waiting an eternity for a man of your strength to arrive. But what kind of man crawls into his own grave in search of hope?
Vlad: A desperate one.

Dracula Untold - The Nature of Monsters and Sacrifice

Master Vampire: Why spill blood if not for the pleasure of it?
Vlad: Because men do not fear swords. They fear monsters. They run from them. By putting one village to the stake, I spared ten more. Sometimes the world no longer needs a hero. Sometimes what it needs... is a monster.
Master Vampire: And you believe you know what it means to be a monster? Hmm?... You have no idea... but I'm going to show you.

Dracula Untold - The Bond of Darkness and Power

Master Vampire: (to Dracula) For centuries, these moldering walls have been my gallows. For I am bound to this cave, condemned by one who turned me. Oh, and I have waited an eternity for a man of your strength, your gifts, your will. A man worthy of the dark and all its powers. For if I am your salvation, you are mine.

Dracula Untold - The Start of a Dark Challenge

Master Vampire: (as moves to follow Vlad and Mina) Let the games begin.

Master Vampire: (to Vlad) Most men reek of fear. In you I smell hope.

Master Vampire: There is always a price for power.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters - Awakening Titans and Facing Consequences

Alan Jonah: I thought we were going to awaken them gradually, one at a time.
Dr. Emma Russell: I'm not the one doing this.
Alan Jonah: Long live the king.
Madison Russell: You're a monster.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters - Acceptance of the Situation

Alan Jonah: [last lines, referring to Ghidorah's severed head] We'll take it.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters - The Unraveling of Human Nature and Consequences

Alan Jonah: [to Dr. Emma Russell] Listen...While you were sitting comfortably in some laboratory, we've been fighting, for decades in one dirty war after another. I've seen human nature firsthand, and I'm here to tell you that it doesn't get any better. It just gets worse. So I'm sorry that Monster Zero isn't exactly what we were expecting. But we opened Pandora's box, and there's no closing it now.

The Imitation Game - Challenging the Limits of Problem-Solving

Alan Turing: I like solving problems, Commander. And Enigma is the most difficult problem in the world.
Commander Denniston: Enigma isn't difficult, it's impossible. The Americans, the Russians, the French, the Germans, everyone thinks Enigma is unbreakable.
Alan Turing: Good. Let me try and we'll know for sure, won't we?
