Ray
I killed a little boy. You keep bringing up a fucking lollipop man.
Ken
You didn't mean to kill a little boy.
Ray
I know I didn't mean to... but because of the choices I made, and the course that I put into action, that little boy isn't here anymore, and he'll never be here again. I mean here in the world, not here in Belgium. Well he'll never be here in Belgium either, will he? I mean, he might've wanted to come here when he got older. Don't know why. And that's all because of me. He's dead because of me. And I'm trying to... trying to get me head around it, but I can't. I will have always have killed that little boy. That ain't ever going away. Ever. Unless... maybe I go away.

Ken
Don't even think like that.

Call to Arms for Freedom and Glory
Alexander
You've all honored your country and your ancestors and now we come to this most distant place in Asia where across from us Darius has at last gathered a vast army, but look again at this horde and ask yourselves, who is this great king who pays assassins in gold coins to murder my father, our king in a most despicable and cowardly manner? Who is this great king Darius who enslaves his own men to fight? Who is this king but a king of air? These men do not fight for their homes. They fight because this king tells them they must. And when they fight, they will melt away like the air, because they know no loyalty to a king of slaves! But we are not here today as slaves. We are here today... as Macedonian free men! And all their arms, their numbers, their chariots and their fine horses will mean nothing in the hands of slaves. Some of you, perhaps myself, will not live to see the sun set over these mountains today, for I will be in the very thick of battle with you. But remember this, the greatest honor a man can achieve is to live with great courage, and to die gloriously in battle for his home. I say to you what every warrior has known since the beginning of time: conquer your fear and I promise you you will conquer death! Someday I promise you, your sons and grandsons will look into your eyes. And when they ask you why you fought so bravely at Gaugamela, you will answer, with all the strength of your great, great hearts: "I was here this day at Gaugamela...for the freedom...and glory...of Greece!" Zeus be with us!

The fact that I'm black has nothing to do with the fact I'm a cunt.
Coach
He didn't say black people were cunts, Ernie. He was being specific to you. One has nothing to do with the other. And I'd go a step further and say it was a term of affection.
Ernie
Primetime's a Gypsy. I wouldn't call him a pikey cunt.
Coach
Why not? He might be very understanding. Only if it comes from a place of love, of course.

Respected, rich, LOVED! You'll be treated by you wives and children as heroes for the rest of your lives. And enjoy a peaceful death. But you dream Crateros! Your simplicity long ended when you took Persian mistresses and children and you thickened your holdings with plunder and jewels... Because you have fallen in love with all the things in life that destroy men! Do you not see? And you, as well as I, know, that as the years decline, and the memories stale, and all your great victories fade, it will always be remembered, you left your king in Asia! Because I will go on...with my Asians!

A Conversation About Intelligence and Assurance
Pádraic Súilleabháin
They don't think I'm dim or anything?
Siobhan Súilleabháin
Dim? No.
Pádraic Súilleabháin
You don't seem very sure about it.
Siobhan Súilleabháin
Of course, I'm sure about it.
Pádraic Súilleabháin
Dominic's the dim one on the island, isn't he?
Siobhan Súilleabháin
He is, aye. By miles.
Pádraic Súilleabháin
Uh, hang on, by miles. And then, who's the next dimmest?
Siobhan Súilleabháin
Well, I don't like to judge people in those terms now, do I?
Pádraic Súilleabháin
In what terms?
Siobhan Súilleabháin
In order of their dimness.
Pádraic Súilleabháin
Well, I know you don't. And neither do I, do I? But try, like.
Siobhan Súilleabháin
No! I won't try. There's enough judgy people on this fecking island, so no! You're not dim! You're a nice man, all right? So, move on!
Pádraic Súilleabháin
I'm as clever as you, anyways. I know that at least.
Siobhan Súilleabháin
Yeah, don't be fecking stupid.

Finding Purpose in Uncertainty
Ray
The rest of the ] and the ]. Can I have me gun back, please? What am I gonna do, Ken? What am I gonna do?
[[w:LSD|acid; [w:MDMA|ecstasy]
Ken
Just keep moving. Keep on moving. Try not to think about it. Learn a new language, maybe?
Ray
Sure, I can hardly do English. That's one thing I like about Europe, though. You don't have to learn any of their languages.
Ken
Just forget about home for a while. See how the land lies in six years, seven years. Seven years is not that long.
Ray
It's longer than that boy got. My first fucking job. Great hitman I turned out to be.
Ken
Some people just aren't cut out for it, Ray.
Ray
Are you? When are you going back to England?
Ken
I'll head back in a couple of hours or something.
Ray
Harry's not gonna be mad at you, is he? For letting me go?
Ken
I'll sort out Harry.
Ray
Just tell him I'll have probably killed myself in a fortnight, anyway.
Ken
You won't, will you, Ray?

Seeking Home Beyond Illusions and Death
Alexander
Each land, each boundary I cross, I strip away another illusion. I sense death will be the last. Yet still I push, harder and harder to reach this..."home." Where has our eagle gone? We must go on Ptolemy, until we find an end.

A Descent into Chaos and Confusion
Ray
After I killed them, I dropped the gun in the Thames, washed the residue off my hands in the bathroom of a Burger King, and walked home to await instructions. Shortly thereafter, the instructions came through. "Get the fuck out of ], yous dumb fucks. Get to ]." I didn't even know where Bruges fucking was. It's in ].

Debate Over Bruges' Worth in Film
Chloë
This movie, I think it's going to be a very good one. There's never been a classic movie made in Bruges until now.
Ray
Of course there hasn't. It's a shithole.
Chloë
Bruges is my home town, Ray.
Ray
Well, it's still a shithole.
Chloë
It's not a shithole!
Ray
What? Even midgets have to take drugs to stick it.
Chloë
Okay. So, we've insulted my home town. You're doing very well, Raymond. Why don't you tell me some Belgium jokes while you're at it?
Ray
Don't know any Belgium jokes, and if I did I think I'd have the good sense not to... hang on. Is Belgium where there's all those child abuse murders lately? Then I do know a Belgium joke. What's Belgium famous for? ] and ], and they only invented the chocolates to get to the kids. What?

Miscommunication in a Professional Setting
George Pierce
Roman, Roman! Jesus, I heard about what you did in the kitchen. Salinas is our number two. And not only that, while you were schooling Sanchez in a crowded elevator...
Roman J. Israel, Esq.
Hey, the man doesn't understand character evidence.
George Pierce
You'll find a quiet corner. I sent you an e-mail today to come to my office.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.
I'm sorry, when people send e-mail, they seem to think it goes straight to your brain.
George Pierce
You better take what I'm saying seriously, because I'm being very sincere with you.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.
I think you knew what you were getting when you brought me in, George.
George Pierce
I thought you were functional.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.
I think you brought me in to put your feet to the fire cause you're tired of treating low-income clients like dollar signs, and maybe because you remember what it feels like to actually care. That's what I think, George.
George Pierce
Hell no, I hired you to make a buck. Which is why I thought you took the job.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.
I need money. Badly. Of course. But what I really need, George, is an ally. I've been waiting to meet someone of your high caliber, and yes, I am selective. So what I'm offering to you, right out here, now, is the chance to partner with me. On a piece of groundbreaking litigation I've been working on for over seven years now. Inside this case, is arguably the most important legal brief in modern legal history. A sweeping federal challenge that could yield nothing less than a grand new era of social reform, and I say that with all due confidence. The constitution guarantees us the right to a fair trial, but there can't be any fairness is ninety-five percent of all cases never get heard. Criminal cases never get heard by a jury or a judge. I am building a wholly original class action lawsuit with over thirty-five hundred names, all former clients, aimed at the heart of-of-of plea bargain reform. I'm talking about reforming the system where prosecutors are trying to pull sentences out of their hat, where actual guilt or innocence is being completely replaced by fear of having your day in court. Where people are being forced... George, to plead guilty, under the threat of overly harsh, and coercive sentences. It's a job for a legend, or someone who wants to be one.

Team Loyalty Amidst Chaos
Brian Gamble
Let's get the hell outta here, huh? I need a cocktail.
Jim Street
I'm staying.
Gamble
You're what? Wha-? After that?
[In disbelief]
Street
A couple of months, Fuller will find some new asses to chew out, and we'll be back on the team.
Gamble
Fuller is the cockroach in this department, brother, and he's not gonna give us any second chance.
Street
What are you gonna do, piss away all the hard work you did to get here?
Gamble
Piss WHAT away, Jimmy? The cage? C'mon man, we're better than that and you know it. Gonna come with me? Well, a real partner wouldn't have to ask that, would he?
Street
A real partner would step up to what he did at the bank.
Gamble
Yeah, I saved the hostage.
Street
You disobeyed the hold.
Gamble
No. I saved that hostage.
Street
You disobeyed the hold! You made the decision yourself, and you shot a hostage, Jesus, Brian!
[shouts]
Gamble
Wow, you sound a lot like Fuller. Is that what you two were talking about in there? You rat me out, you cut a deal to get back on the team, Jimmy?
[shocked]
Street
Did I cut a deal?
Gamble
Yeah, did you?
Street
How many times have I covered up for your goddamn stunts?
Gamble
That's what a partner's supposed to do... You just picked a paycheck over me, bro.
[shrugs; picks up badge; tosses badge to Street]
Street
You just picked yourself over everything else.
Gamble
You wanna stay here, be Fuller's bitch? You go right ahead, but I can't do it, nope, can't do it. Goddmanit goddamnit god-'-damnit, Jimmy.
[slaps locker in anger]
Street
Partners for five years, this is how you wanna end it?
Gamble
Nuh, uh. I didn't end it. You sold me out to the press.
Street
You know, I never realized until now how full of shit you are.

Gamble
Fuck you and SWAT.

A Conversation About Time and Regret
Colm Doherty
I was too harsh yesterday.
Pádraic Súilleabháin
Yesterday, he says! I know well you was too harsh yesterday.
Colm Doherty
I just... I just have this tremendous sense of time slipping away on me, Padraic. And I think I need to spend the time I have left thinking and composing. Just trying not to listen to any more of the dull things you have to say for yourself. But I am sorry about it. I am, like.
Pádraic Súilleabháin
Are you dying?
Colm Doherty
No, I'm not dying.
Pádraic Súilleabháin
But then you have loads of time.
Colm Doherty
For chatting?
Pádraic Súilleabháin
Aye.
Colm Doherty
For aimless chatting?
Pádraic Súilleabháin
Not for aimless chatting. For good, normal chatting.
Colm Doherty
So we'll keep aimlessly chatting and my life will keep on dwindling. And in 12 years, I'll die with nothin to show for it, bar the chats I've had with a limited man, is that it?
Pádraic Súilleabháin
I said, "not aimless chatting" I said "Good, normal chatting.
Colm Doherty
The other night, two hours, you spent talking to me about the things you found in your little donkey's shite that day. Two hours, Padraic. I timed it.
Pádraic Súilleabháin
Well it wasn't me little donkey's shite, was it? It was me pony's shite. Which shows how much you were listenin'.
Colm Doherty
None of it helps me. Do you understand? None of it helps me.
Pádraic Súilleabháin
We'll just talk about something else, then!

Balancing Culture and Fun in Bruges

Consequences of Persistent Interruption
Colm Doherty
If you don't stop talkin to me, and if you don't stop botherin me, or sendin your sister or your priest to bother me...
Pádraic Súilleabháin
I didn't send me sister to bother you, did I? She has her own mind. Although, I did send the priest though, you have me there.
Colm Doherty
What I've decided to do is this. I have a set of shears at home. And each time you bother me from this day on, I'll take those shears and I'll take one of me fingers off with them. And I'll give that finger to ya. A finger from me left hand. Me fiddle hand. And each day you bother me more, another I'll take off and I'll give ya until you see sense enough to stop. Or until I have no fingers left. Does this make things clearer to ya?
Pádraic Súilleabháin
Not really, no.
Colm Doherty
Because I don't want to hurt your feelings, Padraic. I don't, like. But it feels like the drastic is the only option left open to me.
Pádraic Súilleabháin
You've loads of options left open to ya. How's fingers the first port of call?
Colm Doherty
Please, don't talk to me no more, Padraic. Please. I'm begging you.
Pádraic Súilleabháin
But...
Jonjo Devine
Shush, like, Padraic. Just, you know, shush, like.
Gerry
Yeah, I'd shush, like.
Pádraic Súilleabháin
I will shush. Except me and me sister were thinking, you might just be a bit depressed, Colm. And I tell you this much, fingers just confirms it. Don't you think, Colm?
Colm Doherty
Starting from now.

Decision to Leave Bruges for London
Ray
This is my vote of what we should do. We give it another day, two days max, then we check the papers again and if there's still nothing in em, we phone him and say, "Harry, thank you for the trip to Bruges, it's been very nice, all the old buildings and that, but we're coming back to London now," and hide out in a proper country where it isn't all just fucking chocolates.

Fear of Eternity in Bruges
Ray
There's a ] somewhere in London with a bunch of presents underneath it that'll never be opened. And I thought, if I survive all this, I'll go to that house, apologize to the mother there, and accept whatever punishment she chose for me. Prison... death... didn't matter. Because at least in prison and at least in death, you know, I wouldn't be in fuckin Bruges. But then, like a flash, it came to me. And I realized, fuck man, maybe that's what hell is: the entire rest of eternity spent in fuckin Bruges. And I really, really hoped I wouldn't die. I really, really hoped I wouldn't die.

Searching for Flaws in a Tragic Context
John Anderton
What does he think about your chosen line of work?
[about Witwer's father]
Danny Witwer
I don't know. He was shot and killed when I was 15 on the steps of our church in Dublin. I know what it's like to lose someone close, John. Course, nothing is like the loss of a child. I don't have any children of my own, so I can only imagine what that must've been like. To lose your son – in such a public place like that. At least now you and I have the chance to make sure that kind of thing doesn't happen to anyone –
John Anderton
Why don't you cut the cute act, Danny boy, and tell me exactly what it is you're looking for?
Danny Witwer
Flaws.
John Anderton
There hasn't been a murder in 6 years. There's nothing wrong with the system, it is--
Danny Witwer
Perfect. I agree. But if there's a flaw, it's human. It always is.
