Hard Candy - A Disturbing Situation Unfolds Between Characters
Hayley Stark:
Well, if Denise was here right now, what would you say?

Hard Candy - The Art of Persuasion and Defiance
Jeff Kohlver:
I'm not going to beg you.
Hayley Stark:
You mean you're not going to beg again? Because you do it so well. "Please, pretty please with a cherry on top!"... One that you just had to pop.

Hard Candy - Power Dynamics and Dark Humor in Dialogue
Hayley Stark:
Turns out castration is one of the easiest surgical procedures around. There's thousands of farmboys across the country gelding their livestock. If they can do it, I think I can pull it off. If you know what I mean.
Jeff Kohlver:
I'm not fucking livestock.
Hayley Stark:
You keep telling yourself that, stud.

Hard Candy - Consequences of Violence and Experience
Jeff Kohlver:
You're getting yourself in terrible trouble.
Hayley Stark:
Oh? Oh, and how's that?
Jeff Kohlver:
If you cut me in any way, you won't forget it. It changes you when you hurt somebody.
Hayley Stark:
Oh, and you speak from experience, I guess.
Jeff Kohlver:
I've just lived. Unlike you. The things you do wrong... they haunt you.
Hayley Stark:
Tell me what you're haunted by.
Jeff Kohlver:
Do you wanna remember this day when you're with a guy? On a date? Or on your wedding night? Cause I promise you you will. Don't do that to yourself.
Hayley Stark:
Wow... You know, that is so thoughtful! You are speaking to me so selflessly! I mean, you just don't want me to castrate you for my own benefit? Wow, I'm touched. Jeff, why don't we imagine someone saying the same thing to you at a random moment? Imagine that when you downloaded this little girl... I was sitting by your side saying "Stop! Don't do that to yourself!". Would you have listened?

Hard Candy - Stalking and Connection in Digital Encounters
Jeff Kohlver:
You've been stalking me?
Hayley Stark:
Okay, okay, let's get something straight. You have been stalking me. I went into different chat rooms with different nicknames and you would get to know each one. And as soon as you found out they were any bit older than me you would just drop them like that. You took your time sniffing out someone my age.
Jeff Kohlver:
I didn't talk to the others because they were boring. You and I connected.
Hayley Stark: [nodding sarcastically]
Right.
Jeff Kohlver:
Oh, come on, you think I faked all that?
Hayley Stark:
You know, actually, it's kinda funny. Because every time I would mention some obscure singer or band, you knew so much about them. But not right away, it was like a few minutes later. Maybe enough time to look them up on the web? Jeff, you used the same phrases about Goldfrapp as they do on Amazon.com. Busted! Oh and by the way, I fucking hate Goldfrapp.

Hard Candy - Consequences of Guilt and Accountability
Jeff Kohlver:
Look, I'm not the monster you think I am. But, okay, I crossed a line. Just call the cops. I'll turn myself in.
Hayley Stark: [as if narrating a headline]
Cute Pedophile Pleads Guilty. Aww, it's not his fault. He's sick. He has an addiction.
Jeff Kohlver:
I'll do jail. Isn't, isn't that what should happen?
Hayley Stark:
Yeah. You might. You might get jail time. I dunno: therapy, drugs, group discussions, notifying people when you move into a new house. How bad is that, really?
Jeff Kohlver:
It'll ruin my career, ruin my life.
Hayley Stark: [[Roman Polanski]
Well, didn't ] just win an Oscar?

Hard Candy - Confrontation of Perception and Reality
Jeff Kohlver:
Look, I'm a decent guy. Ask anyone. Go ahead. Ask these models. Call them; they'll tell you.
Hayley Stark:
Of course they will. You're not an idiot, Jeff. You don't piss where you live. Those girls were your work, and I, on the other hand, was your play.
Jeff Kohlver:
You were coming on to me!
Hayley Stark:
Oh, come on. That's what they always say, Jeff.
Jeff Kohlver:
Who?
Hayley Stark: [pause]
Who? The pedophiles! "Oh, she was so sexy. She was asking for it. She was only technically a girl, she acted like a woman." It's just so easy to blame a kid, isn't it? Just because a girl knows how to imitate a woman, does NOT mean she's ready to do what a woman does! I mean, you're the grown-up here. If a kid is experimenting and says something flirtatious, you ignore it, you don't encourage it. If a kid says "Heeey, let's make Screwdrivers!", you take the alcohol away and you don't race them to the next drink!

Hard Candy - Loneliness and Trust in Confrontation
Jeff Kohlver: [while tied to a chair]
Look, look. I've been lonely, okay? And that makes me stupid, but I am not a pedophile. Look, this is some horrible mistake. Just untie me now and we'll forget this whole thing ever happened. Just untie me now!
Hayley Stark:
Okay, well you know what? I am not lonely and therefore not stupid. I untie you, you might understandably be a little peeved. So when I am ready to go, I'll call a cab and call another one to let you loose.
Jeff Kohlver:
And when will that be?
Hayley Stark:
I'm not sure yet.

Hard Candy - Transition from Playfulness to Seriousness
Jeff Kohlver: [shakes his head weakly as he awakes from a drug induced stupor]
Why, uhh, why do I get, tied up first if, if this is how we're gonna play?
Hayley Stark:
Jeff, playtime is over... Now it's time to wake up.

Hard Candy - Nature vs. Nurture: A Personal Reflection
Jeff Kohlver:
Ah, so you and your mom are both wacked?
Hayley Stark:
I dunno. That's that whole nature versus nurture question, isn't it? Was I born a cute, vindictive little bitch or... did society make me that way? I go back and forth on that...

Hard Candy - The Truth Behind First Impressions
Hayley Stark:
You really just don't look like the kind of guy who needs to meet girls over the internet.
Jeff Kohlver:
Well, I think it's better to meet people online first, sometimes. You get to know what they're like inside. When you work as a photographer, you find out real quick people's faces lie.
Hayley Stark:
Does my face lie?

X-Men: Days of Future Past - Time Travel and its Consequences Explained
Kitty Pryde:
Basically, your body will go to sleep while your mind travels back in time. As long as you're back there, past and present will continue to coexist. But once you wake up, whatever you've done will take hold and become history. And for the rest of us it'll be the only history that we know. It'll be like the last fifty years never happened. And this world, this war...the only person who will remember it is you. Alright, Logan, I need you to clear your head and to stay as calm as possible.
Wolverine:
What? What do you mean?
Kitty:
If your mind gets rocky it'll be harder for me to hold you. You could start to slip between past and future.
Wolverine:
What if I need to get a little rocky?
Kitty:
Think peaceful thoughts.
Wolverine:
Peaceful thoughts. You have any good news?
Kitty:
Well, you don't really age, so you'll pretty much look the same.
Iceman:
You won't have much time in the past, the Sentinels will find us. They always do.
Kitty:
And this time we won't be able to run, we'll have no escape. This is our last chance.

Inception - A Risky Move in a Dream World
Ariadne:
What's happening?
Arthur: [the projections begin staring at them; Arthur and Ariadne kiss]
Cobb's drawing Fischer's attention to the strangeness of the dream. Which is making his subconscious look for the dreamer. For me. Quick, give me a kiss.
Ariadne: [confused]
They're still looking at us.
Arthur:
Yeah, it was worth a shot. We should probably get out of here.

Inception - The Risks of Revealing the Dream State
Ariadne:
Who or what is "Mr. Charles"?
Arthur:
It's a gambit designed to turn Fischer against his own subconscious.
Ariadne:
And why don't you approve?
Arthur:
Because it involves telling the mark that he's dreaming. Which involves attracting a lot of attention to us.
Ariadne:
Didn't Cobb say never to do that?
Arthur:
So now you've noticed how much time Cobb spends doing things he says never to do.

Inception - Understanding the Concept of a Kick
Arthur:
So, once we've made the plant, how do we get out? I'm hoping you have something more elegant in mind than shooting me in the head?
Cobb:
A kick.
Ariadne:
What's a kick?
Eames: [kicks Arthur's chair; Arthur flails but manages to right himself]
This, Ariadne, would be a kick.
Cobb:
It's that feeling of falling you get that jolts you awake. It snaps you out of the dream.

Inception - Creating New Realities in Dreamscapes
Cobb:
Never re-create places from your memory. Always imagine new places.
Ariadne:
You gotta draw from stuff you know, right?
Cobb:
Only use details. A streetlamp or a phone booth, Never entire areas.
Ariadne:
Why not?
Cobb:
Building a dream from your memory is the easiest way to lose your grasp on what's real and what is a dream.

Inception - The Nature of Dreaming and Memory
Cobb:
Let me ask you a question. You never really remember the beginning of a dream, do you? You always wind up right in the middle of what's going on.
Ariadne:
I guess, yeah.
Cobb:
So how did we end up here?
Ariadne: [trails off]
Well, we just came from the...
Cobb:
Think about it, Ariadne, how did you get here? Where are you right now?
Ariadne:
We're dreaming?
Cobb:
You're actually in the middle of the workshop right now, sleeping. This is your first lesson in shared dreaming

Inception - Understanding the Job's Legality
Cobb:
Before I describe the job, I have to know you can do it
Ariadne:
Why?
Cobb:
It's not, strictly speaking, legal.
