Reign Over Me - Debate on Qualifications and Distractions
Charlie Fineman:
Are you kidding me? She's a baby.
Alan Johnson:
Listen, you're right, she's young. But, she-she's good. She's got a lot of experience with loss and grief counseling. Just...
Charlie Fineman:
She's got nice tits, that's not good.
Alan Johnson:
Since when?
Charlie Fineman: [pause]
Good point.
Alan Johnson:
Look, we'll just do the meet-and-greet, and see if you like her, and if you do, we'll just - we'll go from there.
Charlie Fineman:
Am I wrong about her tits, though?
Alan Johnson:
No, you're right. They're wonderful.
Angela Oakhurst: [silence from Charlie and Alan]
So what are you guys talking about? What's so wonderful?

Reign Over Me - Memories of Family and Love
Charlie Fineman: [Charlie looks at Alan]
I had three daughters.
Alan Johnson: [surprised]
I... I know.
Charlie Fineman:
Geena was five. Jenny was seven, she, uh... she liked boys already. Julie was 9. She was... she was older. They all looked alike, Johnson. Like Doreen. Doreen was my wife. DT. That was her nickname. Doreen Timpleman. She had a dog, Spider. Spider... the poodle. They'd wake me up all the time, Saturday mornings, you know, singing Beatles songs to me in harmony, the four of them... so cute, so cute. Doreen never judged me... never nagged like some wives do. Wanted me to take my shoes off so I didn't wreck the carpet. That's it. Doreen and the girls were VERY female. I... I... I was the oddball, you know. Mr. Man. They adored me, Johnson...
Alan Johnson:
I bet they did... I know they did, Charlie.
Charlie Fineman: [slowly starts to cry]
With the long brown hair... except little Geena. She kept the hair short... to be different from everybody... she, um, she had a birthmark, though. Looked like a burn... but it wasn't. She always said it was gonna go away, but it... it never did. Jenny, Jenny, this one... she wanted to be a gymnast. She was such a klutz, though. I didn't have the heart to mention it as a problem. They, uh, went to see Doreen's sister Ellen and her girls in Boston, and they took Spider, because... I had to work and they didn't trust me to feed her, but that was a joke. We were all going to DT's little cousin's wedding in Los Angeles, and I was gonna meet them out there... The kids wanted to go to Disneyland, but they... they uh, were already gonna miss a couple days of school, so we had to say no. You know. So I'm going out to meet them in Los Angeles, and on the way to JFK, I'm in a taxicab and I hear on the radio...
Charlie Fineman: [sobs]
I get there and the man tells me the plane's from Boston... another man tells me there's two planes.
Charlie Fineman:
Then I go inside the airport and I'm watching. I'm watching on the television... and I... and I... I... I saw it. I saw it and I felt it at the same time. I thought about Geena's birthmark, and I... I felt them burning...

The United States of Leland - Perspectives on Life's Possibilities
Leland:
How do you see the world, bro?
Pearl Madison:
Full of possibilities. I think that good things abound positive things. What about you?
Leland:
Hmm... I think there are two ways to see it. One's like what you said, where our lives are ok. And maybe stuff's wrong but you don't see it.
Pearl Madison:
What's the other way?
Leland:
When you see what's really there.
Pearl Madison:
The sadness?

The United States of Leland - The Temporary Nature of Human Kindness
Leland:
You know what the funny thing about earthquakes is? After an earthquake you see people pulling other people out of broken down buildings and people hugging and junk because they saw a little girl's shoe in the middle of the road and no little girl around. Then a couple days later they forget all about it...
Pearl Madison:
Well it still shows you that there's goodness in people.
Leland:
During earthquakes at least...

The United States of Leland - The Irony of Human Fallibility
Pearl Madison:
I'm only human, man.
Leland:
It's funny how people only say that after they do something bad. I mean, you never hear someone say, "I'm only human" after they rescue a kid from a burning building.

The United States of Leland - Reflections on Life, Love, and Loss
Albert T. Fitzgerald:
I recall when our lives were unusual and electric. When we burned with something close to fire. But now we sway to a different rhythm. Lives lived without meaning or even directed hope. The passage of time measured only by loss. Loss of a job, loss of a minivan...a son.
Mrs. Calderon:
You have to believe that life is more than the sum of its parts, kiddo.
Pearl Madison:
Just because what you did was wrong doesnt mean that giving up on your life is right.
Pearl Madison:
Love is when you can't get somebody out of your mind. When they are your first thought in the morning and your last thought at night. Maybe it's not in your heart but it is in your head.
Bengel:
You ever think the whole thing doesn't make sense? I mean, they take all this stuff away from you; freedom, girls and sunshine - because it's supposed to make it so when you get back on the outs you never wanna screw up again. All that really does is get you to thinking that you're... just so small. You know? Like you're this... this small thing that doesn't matter for anything. And by the time you do get out - you don't even feel like a human person anymore.

Miles Ahead - Miles Davis Rejects the Label of Jazz
Miles Davis:
I don't like that word, "jazz". Don't... Don't call it "jazz", man. That's some made-up word. Trying to box somebody in. Don't call my music "jazz". It's social music.

Well, you can't go back to the hotel. The crazy men are on their way there now.

General, we must go back, so that I can get my family!
General Bizimungu:
Trust me. We are better off here.
Paul:
General....these are difficult times. We need to help one another.
General Bizimungu:
And what help can I get from you, Paul?
Paul:
You are a marked man, sir.
General Bizimungu:
How so?
Paul:
You are on a list! The Americans have you on their list as a war criminal!
General Bizimungu:
Paul, I am sick and tired of your lies!
Paul:
Are you stupid, General?! How do you think these people operate?! You sit here with five stars on your chest; who do you think they're coming after?! (Bizimungu realizes what Paul just said) We will go to Gitarama, and you'll stay on that list.
General Bizimungu:
I committed no war crimes.
Paul:
Who will tell them? You need me to tell them how you helped at the hotel. They blame you for all their misfortunes - they say you lead the massacres!
General Bizimungu:
I lead no massacres!
Paul:
Do you think they will believe you?!
General Bizimungu:
You will tell them the truth!
Paul:
I will tell them nothing unless you help me! (sees Bizimungu attempting to pull out his handgun) What are you going to do, shoot me? Shoot me. Please, shoot me. It would be a blessing, I will pay you to shoot my family. You cannot hurt me.
Pat Archer:

Hotel Rwanda - A Call for Self-Rescue and Action
Paul Rusesabagina:
There will be no rescue, no intervention force. We can only save ourselves. Many of you know influential people abroad, you must call these people. You must tell them what will happen to us... say goodbye. But when you say goodbye, say it as though you are reaching through the phone and holding their hand. Let them know that if they let go of that hand, you will die. We must shame them into sending help.
