Phantom of the Opera - The Beauty of Darkness and Solitude
Erique Claudin:
See? Didn't I tell you it was beautiful? You didn't know we had a lake all to ourselves, did you? They've poisoned your mind against me. That's why you're afraid. Look at your lake, Christine. You'll love it here when you get used to the dark. And you'll love the dark, too. It's friendly and peaceful. It brings rest and relief from pain. It's right under the Opera. The music comes down and the darkness distills it, cleanses it of the suffering that made it. Then it's all beauty. And life here is like a resurrection.

Now, Voyager - Motherhood and Personal Growth Debate
Dr. Jaquith:
My dear Mrs. Vale, if you had deliberately and maliciously planned to destroy your daughter's life, you couldn't have done it more completely.
Mrs. Vale:
How? By having exercised a mother's rights?
Dr. Jaquith:
A mother's rights? Twaddle. A child has rights. A person has rights to discover her own mistakes, to make her own way, to grow and blossom in her own particular soil.
Mrs. Vale:
Are we getting into botany, Doctor? Are we flowers?

Now, Voyager - The Resilience of Old Boston Homes
Dr. Jaquith:
There's nothing like these old Boston homes anywhere. Here on Marlborough Street or Beacon Hill, you see them standing in a row like bastions. Firm, proud, resisting the new. Houses turned in upon themselves, hugging their pride.
Charlotte:
Introverted, doctor.
Dr. Jaquith:
Well, I wouldn't know about that. I don't put much faith in scientific terms. I leave that to the fakirs and writers of books.

Now, Voyager - Understanding Psychiatry and Its Misconceptions
Mrs. Vale:
Dr. Jaquith has a sanitarium in Vermont, I believe. Probably one of those places with a high wire fence and yowling inmates.
Dr. Jaquith:
Well, now, I wouldn't want anyone to have that mistaken notion. Cascade is just a place in the country. People come to it when they're tired. You go to the seashore. They come there.
Mrs. Vale:
The very word "psychiatry," Dr. Jaquith. Doesn't it fill you with shame, my daughter, a member of our family?
Dr. Jaquith:
There's nothing shameful about my work or frightening or anything else. It's very simple, really, what I try to do. People come to a fork in the road. They're confused. They don't know which way to take. I just put up a signpost: "Not that way. This way.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington - Conflict Over Political Integrity
James Taylor:
What did you mean "count me out"?
Joseph Paine:
You can't pull that steamroller stuff. Your methods won't do here. However it happened, this boy's a Senator. This is Washington, Jim!
James Taylor:
My steamroller methods don't go here? They've done pretty well by you.
Joseph Paine:
This boy is different. He's honest. He thinks the world of me. We can't do this to him!
James Taylor:
Should I just stand around and let that drooling infant wrap that Willet Creek dam appropriation around my neck? Not me. Either he falls in line or I'll break him so open they won't find the pieces.
Joseph Paine:
Jim, I won't stand for it.
James Taylor:
You won't stand for it?
Joseph Paine:
I don't want any part of crucifying this boy.
James Taylor:
Our steamroller methods are getting too hard for your sensitive soul? The Silver Knight is getting too big for us. My methods have been all right for the past twenty years. Since I picked you out of a hole in the wall and blew you up to look like a senator. And now you can't stand it. Maybe you don't have to. You and the boy ranger can go home together.
Joseph Paine:
Jim, you don't have to...
James Taylor:
It's all right. Seems a shame to part company after all these years.

The Invisible Man - A Threatening Departure
Dr. Jack Griffin:
I hope your car's insured, Kemp. I'm afraid there's going to be a nasty accident in a minute. A very nasty accident.
Dr. Kemp:
Griffin, I'll do anything! Anything you ask me!
Dr. Jack Griffin:
You will? That's fine. Just sit where you are. I'll get out and take the handbrake off and give you a little shove to help you on. You'll run gently down and through the railings. Then you'll have a big thrill for a hundred yards or so till you hit a boulder. Then you'll do a somersault and probably break your arms. Then a grand finish up with a broken neck. Well, goodbye, Kemp. I always said you were a dirty little coward. You're a dirty, sneaking little rat as well. Goodbye.

Dr. Jack Griffin:
Thank you, Kemp, for opening the window. You're a true friend, Kemp. A man of trust.

At ten o'clock tomorrow night, I shall kill you.

The Invisible Man - The Allure and Terror of Invisible Power
Dr. Jack Griffin:
Power, I said! Power to walk into the gold vaults of the nations, into the secrets of kings, into the Holy of Holies. Power to make multitudes run squealing in terror at the touch of my little invisible finger. Even the moon's frightened of me! Frightened to death! The whole world's frightened to death!

The nation that wins my secret can sweep the world with invisible armies!

The Invisible Man - The Quest for a Visible Partner
Dr. Jack Griffin:
I must have a partner, Kemp. A visible partner, to help me in the little things. You're my partner, Kemp. We'll begin with a reign of terror. A few murders here and there. Murders of great men, murders of little men, just to show we make no distinction. We might even wreck a train or two - just these fingers around the signalman's throat, that's all...

The Invisible Man - The Temptation of Absolute Power
Dr. Jack Griffin: [laughs]
Just a scientific experiment at first, that's all. To do something no other man in the world had done. But there's more to it than that, Kemp - I know now. It came to me suddenly. The drugs I took seemed to light up my brain. Suddenly I realized the power I held. The power to rule, to make the world grovel at my feet! We'll soon put the world right now, Kemp, you and I.

The Invisible Man - The Power of Invisibility and Control
Dr. Jack Griffin: [lifts a bottle filled with a serum; laughs madly]
Are you satisfied now, you fools?! It's easy, really, if you're clever. A few chemicals mixed together, that's all, and flesh and blood and bone just fade away! A little of this injected under the skin of the arm every day for a month. An invisible man can rule the world! Nobody will see him come, nobody will see him go. He can hear every secret! He can rob, and wreck, and kill!

The Adventures of Robin Hood - Betrayal and Defiance in Normans and Saxons
Sir Guy:
Not only has she consorted with this Saxon rebel, found guilty of outlawry, theft, murder, abduction, and high treason, but she has betrayed her own Norman people. Are you not ashamed, my Lady Marian?
Lady Marian:
Yes, I am, bitterly, but it's the shame that I'm a Norman, after seeing the things my fellow countrymen have done to England. At first, I wouldn't believe. Because I was a Norman, I wouldn't let myself believe that the horrors you inflicted on the Saxons were just and right. I know now why you tried so hard to kill this outlaw whom you despise. It's because he was the one man in England who protected the helpless against a lot of beasts who were drunk on human blood. And now you intend to murder your own brother.
Prince John:
You'll be sorry you interfered.
Lady Marian:
Sorry? I'd do it again if you killed me for it.
Prince John:
A prophetic speech, my lady, for that is exactly what is going to happen to you.
Lady Marian:
You wouldn't dare. I am a royal ward of King Richard, and no one but the King himself has the right to condemn me to death.
Prince John:
You are quite right, my dear... and it shall be a king, who will order your execution for high treason, exactly forty-eight hours from now. Take her away.

The Adventures of Robin Hood - A Call for Saxon Freedom and Justice
Robin Hood:
What else do you call a man who takes advantage of the King's misfortune to seize his power? Now, with the help of this sweet band of cutthroats, you'll try to grind a ransom for him out of every helpless Saxon, a ransom that will be used, not to release Richard, but to buy your way to the throne.
Sir Guy:
Let me ram those words down his throat, Your Highness!
Prince John: [To Robin]
Oh, no. Later. Let him spout for the moment. And what do you propose to do?
Robin Hood:
I'll organize a revolt, exact a death for a death, and I'll never rest until every Saxon in this shire can stand up free men, and strike a blow for Richard and England.
Prince John:
Have you finished?
Robin Hood:
I'm only just beginning! From this night on, I'll use every means in my power to fight you!

The Adventures of Robin Hood - Debate Over Taxation and Impudence
Prince John:
Bring Sir Robin food! At once, do you hear? Such impudence must support a mighty appetite.
Robin Hood:
True enough, your Highness. We Saxons have little to fatten on by the time your tax gatherers are through.
Sheriff of Nottingham:
So, you think you're overtaxed, do you?
Robin Hood:
Overtaxed, overworked, and paid off with a knife, a club, or a rope.
Lady Marian:
Why, you speak treason!
Robin Hood:
Fluently.

The Adventures of Robin Hood - A Witty Exchange Among Three Characters
Robin Hood:
I hope my lady had a pleasant journey from London?
Lady Marian:
What you hope can hardly be important.
Robin Hood:
Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. What a pity her manners don't match her looks, Your Highness!
Prince John: [''laughing'']
Do you hear that, gentlemen? Here's poor Gisbourne so in love with Marian that he daren't say "Boo!" to her, and this saucy fellow gives her better than she sends!

Prince John:
Any more objections to the new tax from our Saxon friends?
Noble:

Well said, Sir Knight - but not too many, mind, else we'll have nobody left to till our land or pay the tax.

The Adventures of Robin Hood - Norman Hospitality and Lady Marian's Reluctance
Prince John:
Well, this is what we Normans like - good food, good company, and a beautiful woman to flatter me. Eh, Lady Marian? Was it worth while, coming up from London with me to see what stout fellows our Nottingham friends are? Take Sir Guy of Gisbourne now, one of our most renowned defenders of the realm.
Lady Marian:
Must I take him, Your Highness?
Prince John:
Why, you like him, don't you?
Lady Marian:
Well, he's a Norman, of course.
Prince John:
Is that the only reason for liking him?
Lady Marian:
Isn't that reason enough for a royal ward, who must obey her guardian?
Prince John:
Nay, I'd not force you, my lady. But he's our most powerful friend in these shires...and he's already in love with you. If I could promise him marriage to a royal ward, it might help my plans.
Lady Marian:
Perhaps when I know him better.
Prince John:
Of course. You're a very wise young woman.

The Greatest Story Ever Told - The Nature of Life and Power
Narrator: [first lines]
In the beginning was the word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. I am He. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him, was made nothing that has been made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of man. And the light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness grasped it not. The greatest story ever told...

Not so, my friend...A man's life can be as easy as he wishes to make it. And it can be easy, my friend. If one knows the way to power and glory in this world.
Caiaphas:
