The Paper Chase - Law School Tensions and Their Impact
Toombs:
Kingsfield drove him mad. He's driven a lot of lawyers mad over the past 40 years that he's been teaching here. I heard he ripped up a 1-L this morning so bad, the guy lost his breakfast.

Listen, Mr Horman, I wish there was something we could say or do.
Ed Horman:
Well, there's something I'm going to do. I'm going to sue you, Phil. And Tower and the Ambassador and everybody who let that boy die. We're going to make it so hot for you you'll wish you were stationed in the Antarctic.
Consul Phil Putnam:
Well, I guess that's your privilege.
Ed Horman:
No, that's my right! I just thank God we live in a country where we can still put people like you in jail.

I ain't going with Windows. I ain't going with him, I'll go with Childs--
Windows:
Hey, FUCK YOU, Palmer!
Palmer:
I ain't going with you!
Childs:
Who says I want you going with me?!
MacReady:
ALL RIGHT, CUT THE BULLSHIT! Windows, you come with us. Norris, you stay here. Any of them move, you fry them. You hear anything, anything at all, you cut loose on the sirens. We all meet here in 20 minutes regardless. And everybody watch who you're with, real close.

So how's this motherfucker wake up after thousands of years in the ice?
Bennings:
And how can it look like a dog?
MacReady: [motions to Blair]
I don't know how. Cause it's different than us, see? Cause it's from outer space. What do you want from me? Ask him!
Childs:
You buy any of this Blair?
