Klute - Struggles of a Former Lifestyle
Bree Daniel:
Look, will you please just try to get it from my side? A year ago I was in the life full time, I was living on Park Avenue. It was a very nice apartment, leather furniture... and then the cops dropped on me, they caged me. They started asking me about a guy, some guy, that I'm supposed to have seen a year before that. Two years ago! He could be in Yemen. Gruneman... what does that mean? It's a name! I don't know him! And they start showing me these pictures, and they don't mean anything to me. And then they started asking me if I've been getting letters from some guy out in Cabbageville.
John Klute: [coldly]
Tuscarora.

Jesus, do you think I'd still be living in this kip if I was still in the line fulltime? I'd be back on Park Avenue.
John Klute:
Can I ask you some questions?
Bree Daniel:
Or you'll have me thrown back in the brig, you mean.

JFK - The Politics of Power and Assassination
Jim Garrison:
I never realized Kennedy was so dangerous to the Establishment. Is that why?
X: [[w:Lee Harvey Oswald|Oswald; [w:Jack Ruby|Ruby; [w:Cold War|Cold War; [Julius Caesar|Caesar]
Well, that's the real question, isn't it? Why? The How and the Who is just scenery for the public. ], ], Cuba, the Mafia, keeps em guessing like some kind of parlor game. Prevents em from asking the most important question: Why? Why was Kennedy killed? Who benefited? Who has the power to cover it up? Who?...The organizing principle of any society, Mr. Garrison, is for war. The authority of the state over its people resides in its war powers. And Kennedy wanted to end the ] in his second term. He wanted to call off the moon race in favor of cooperation with the Soviets. He signed a treaty with the Soviets to ban nuclear testing. He refused to invade Cuba in 1962 and he set out to withdraw from Vietnam. But all of that ended on the 22nd of November, 1963. As early as 1961, they knew Kennedy was not going to war in Southeast Asia. Like ], he is surrounded by enemies and something's underway, but it has no face. Yet everybody in the loop knows...Everything is cellularized. No one has said, He must die. There's been no vote. Nothing's on paper. There's no one to blame. It's as old as the crucifixion. A military firing squad: five bullets, one blank. No one's guilty, because everyone in the power structure who knows anything has a plausible deniability. There are no compromising connections except at the most secret point. But what's paramount is that it must succeed. No matter how many die, no matter how much it costs, the perpetrators must be on the winning side and never subject to prosecution for anything by anyone. That is a coup d'état....
Jim Garrison:
I don't, I can't - I can't believe they killed him because he wanted to change things. In our time. In our country.
X:
Well, they've been doing it all through history. Kings are killed, Mr. Garrison. Politics is power, nothing more! Oh, don't take my word for it, don't believe me. Do your own work, your own thinkin'....
Jim Garrison:
The size of this is beyond me. Testify...Testify.
X:
No chance in hell. No, I'd be arrested and gagged, maybe sent to an institution, maybe worse, you too. I can give you the background, but you have to find the foreground, the little things. Keep digging. Remember, you're the only person to bring a trial in the murder of John Kennedy. That's important, it's historic.
Jim Garrison:
I haven't yet. I don't have much of a case.
X:
You don't have a choice anymore. You've become a significant threat to the national security structure. They would have killed you already but you got a lot of light on you. Instead, they're trying to destroy your credibility. They already have in many circles in this town. Be honest. Your only chance is to come up with a case. Something. Anything. Make arrests. Stir the shit storm. Hope to reach a point of critical mass that'll start a chain reaction of people coming forward. Then the government'll crack. Remember, fundamentally, people are suckers for the truth, and the truth is on your side, Bubba. I just hope you get a break.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - Announcement of the Third Quarter Quell
President Coriolanus Snow:
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the seventy-fifth year of the Hunger Games. It was written in the charter of the Games that every twenty-five years, there would be a Quarter Quell to keep fresh for each new generation the memory of those who died in the uprising against the Capitol. Each Quarter Quell is distinguished by Games of a special significance. And now, on this the 75th anniversary of our defeat of the Rebellion, we celebrate the third Quarter Quell … As a reminder that even the strongest cannot overcome the power of the Capitol, on this the Third Quarter Quell Games, the male and female tributes are to be reaped from the existing pool of victors in each district … regardless of age, state of health, or situation.

Your job is to find justice no matter how well she may hide herself from you. So you go on in there and you do your job.

Mrs. Bennet:
No nonsense, Lizzy. I desire you will stay where you are. Everyone else to the drawing room. Mr. Bennet?
Mr. Bennet:
But...
Mrs. Bennet:

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 - Preserving Order Through Fear and Control
President Coriolanus Snow:
Citizens, tonight I address all of Panem as one. Since the Dark Days, Panem has had an unprecedented era of peace. It is a peace built upon cooperation. And a respect for law and order. In the past weeks, you have heard of sporadic violence following the actions of a few radicals in the Quarter Quell. Those who choose this destructive path, your actions are based on a misunderstanding of how we have survived. Together. It is a contract. Each district supplies the Capitol. Like blood to a heart. In return, the Capitol provides order and security. To refuse work is to put the entire system in danger. The Capitol is the beating heart of Panem. Nothing can survive without a heart. The criminals that kneel before you use symbols for the purpose of sedition. Which is why all images of The Mockingjay are now forbidden. Possessing them will be considered treason. Punishable by death. Justice shall be served swiftly. Order shall be restored. To those who ignore the warnings of history, prepare to pay the ultimate price.
