Ripley's Game - The Easing of Guilt Over Time
Tom Ripley:
Do you the interesting thing about doing something terrible?

Often, after a few days, you can't even remember it.

Ripley's Game - The Burden of Waiting
Jonathan Trevanny:
Jesus, this waiting! I can't stand this waiting.
Tom Ripley: [pause]
When I was a little boy, I waited on the beach for hours for my parents to come back from a boat ride. They drowned. I waited forever.

Ripley's Game - Consequences of Past Actions and Self-Perception
Jonathan Trevanny:
Are we going to get away with it?
Tom Ripley:
Why not?
Jonathan Trevanny:
I've just never been the sort of person to get away with things. At school, other kids got away with all sorts. But not me. I always got caught.
Tom Ripley:
You know why you got caught?
Jonathan Trevanny:
Why?
Tom Ripley:
Because you didn't think of just killing your teachers.

Ripley's Game - Discussion of a Failed Assassination
Jonathan Trevanny:
One of them's still alive.
Tom Ripley:
How do you know?
Jonathan Trevanny:
Well, I heard it on the world news.
Tom Ripley:
Jesus. I always figured you for a talk radio man. Okay, well, I guess I didn't strangle him long enough. It's not like a garrote comes with a manual.
Jonathan Trevanny:
Ah, one of them got a very, very good look at me.
Tom Ripley:
Jonathan, that's the first rule of the game. Don't ever worry about anything you can't control, ever. Anyway, I don't think they can trace us here and if they get close, I'll let you know.
Jonathan Trevanny:
What about my family? I'm just worried about my family.
Tom Ripley:
Well, don't worry. If they come for anyone, they'll come for me. I think these Balkan types tend to take strangling quite personally.

Ripley's Game - The Nature of Conscience and Existence
Jonathan Trevanny: [crying]
I know I should thank you, because I wouldn't be alive now if you hadn't helped me.... but I can't. I can't say thank you. I don't know anything about you. Who are you?
Tom Ripley:
I'm a creation. A gifted improviser. I lack your conscience and, when I was young, that troubled me. It no longer does. I don't worry about being caught because I don't think anyone is watching. The world is not a poorer place because those people are dead — it's not. It's one less car on the road, a little less noise and menace. You were brave today. You'll go home and put some money away for your family. That's all.
Jonathan Trevanny:
If you "lack my conscience," then why did you help me on the train?
Tom Ripley: [smiles]
I don't know, but it doesn't surprise me. If there's one thing I know, it's that we're constantly being born.
Jonathan Trevanny:
But why me? Why did you pick me?
Tom Ripley: [checks watch]
Partly because you could. Partly because you insulted me. But mostly because that's the game. We need to catch this flight. Shall we?

Ripley's Game - Adding Spice to the Evening
Jonathan Trevanny: [embarrassed]
Oh, hi. You're here, then. Excellent. We were hoping you'd come.
Tom Ripley: [icy]
Why?
Jonathan Trevanny:
Well, to... to add spice to the evening.
Tom Ripley:
Meaning?
Jonathan Trevanny:
You're a bit of a local personality.
Tom Ripley:
Meaning?
Jonathan Trevanny:
People have heard about you.
Tom Ripley:
Meaning?
Jonathan Trevanny:
Nothing. Just... nothing.

Death Race: Inferno - Emotions and Orders in a High-Stakes Situation
Niles York:
I'm sorry to hear about Goldberg. I never knew the man, but I know how integral he was to your team.
Lucas:
What possible understanding can a man like you know about that? He was more than just a part of my team. He was family.
Niles: [strikes Lucas in the face when he doesn't answer him]
Hmm. Just to be clear, our deal still stands. Yes? Now, don't let your emotions cloud your judgment. 14K will win tomorrow. You're gonna stall out. Officially, mechanical failure resulted in your loss. I don't want it to look like you were beat. Can't damage your rep now, can we? Are we clear? When I ask you a question, you answer me. And when I give you an order, I expect to be obeyed. Do you understand?
Lucas:
No. Not really.
Niles: [violently punches Lucas in the stomach]
Maybe you'll understand this. Now get these foolish thoughts of winning out of your head. You will lose tomorrow, or so help me God, I will put you in the deepest, darkest cell I can find. And while you're down there, crying about that dead spic, just imagine what I'll be doing to your girlfriend.
Lucas:
Bad idea.
Niles:
What are you gonna do? Threaten to kill me?
Lucas:
No. No, Niles. Because that would be letting you off too easy.
Niles:
You can live tomorrow, but you can't win.
Lucas:
Maybe. Guess you'll just have to tune in... like everybody else.
Niles:
That is exactly what I intend to do.
