Memorable Quotes from Eric Bana
10 quotesMemories of a Lost Connection
Bruce Banner
I should have killed you.
David Banner
Yeah? I should have killed you.
Bruce Banner
I wish you had. I saw her last night. Saw her face. Brown hair, brown eyes. She smiled at me. She reached down and kissed my cheek. I can almost remember a smell. It was like desert flowers.
David Banner
Her favorite perfume.
Bruce Banner
It was my mother, and I don't even know her name.
David Banner
It's alright, son. Go ahead and cry. Go ahead and cry. Cry. Crying will do you good.
Bruce Banner
Don't touch me! Maybe, once, you're my father. But, you're not now and you never will be.
David Banner
Oh, is that so? Well, I've got news for you. I didn't come here to see you. I came here to see my son. My real son. The one inside of you. You're nothing but a superficial shell, a husk of flimsy consciousness ready to be torn off at a moment's notice.
Bruce Banner
You can think what you like! I don't care, just go!
David Banner
No, son. Listen to me. I found a cure...for me. My cells can transform, too. Absorb enormous amounts of energy. But, unlike you, they're unstable. Son, I need your strength. I gave you life, now you must give it back to me! Only a million times more radiant, more powerful!
Bruce Banner
Stop!
David Banner
STOP" WHAT?! "STOP" WHAT?!?! Think about all those men out there, in their uniforms! Barking and swallowing orders! Inflicting their petty rule over the entire globe! Think of all the harm they've done! To you! To me! To humanity! And know this, that we can make them, and their flags, and their anthems, and their governments disappear! In a flash! You and me!
Bruce Banner
I'd rather DIE!
David Banner
Oh, that's your answer. And indeed you shall die. And be reborn a hero! Of the kind that walked the Earth long before the pale religions of civilization infected humanity's soul!
Bruce Banner
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
[roaring]
David Banner
Stop your bawling, you weak little speck of human trash. I'll go! You just watch me go!
[stands up and grabs the cable]

Hit it!
Bruce Banner
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

General Ross
Hit it again!

General Ross
MOVE IN AND ASSAULT THE TARGET! MOVE IN!

The Struggle for Jewish Moral Identity
Robert
We're Jews, Avner. Jews don't do wrong because our enemies do wrong.
Avner
We can't afford to be that decent anymore.
Robert
I don't know if we ever were that decent. Suffering thousands of years of hatred doesn't make you decent. But we're supposed to be righteous. That's a beautiful thing. That's Jewish. That's what I knew, that's what I was taught and I'm losing it. I lose that and that's everything. That's my soul.

I bet. Why did I have to marry a sentimentalist? You're ruining my life.
Avner
Your mother's teasing me.

Conflict and Despair Over Palestinian Identity
Ali
Eventually the Arab states will rise against Israel. They don't like Palestinians but they hate the Jews more. It won't be like ]. The rest of the world will see by then what Israel does to us. They won't help when Egypt and Syria attack. Even Jordan. Israel will cease to exist. What?
[[w:Six Day War|1967; Avner stares at him in disbelief]
Avner
This is a dream. You can't take back a country you never had.
Ali
You sound like a Jew.
Avner
Fuck you. I'm the voice inside your head telling you what you already know. You people have nothing to bargain with. You'll never get the land back. You'll die old men in refugee camps waiting for Palestine.
Ali
We have a lot of children. They'll have children. So we can wait forever, and if we need to, we can make the whole planet unsafe for Jews.
Avner
You kill Jews and the world feels bad for them, and thinks you animals.
Ali
Yes. But then the world will see how they've made us into animals. They'll start to ask questions about the conditions in our cages.
Avner
You are Arabs. There are lots of places for Arabs.
Ali
You're a Jew sympathizer. All you Germans, you're too soft on Israel. Well, you give us money, but you feel guilty about ], and the Jews exploit that guilt. My father ].
[scoffs; [Hitler; [w:The Holocaust| didn't gas any Jews]
Avner
Tell me something, Ali.
Ali
What?
Avner
Do you really miss your father's olive trees? Do you honestly think you have to get back all that, that nothing? That chalky soil and stone huts? Is that what you really want for your children?
Ali
It absolutely is. It will take a hundred years, but we'll win. How long did it take the Jews to get their own country? How long did it take the Germans to make Germany?
Avner
And look how well that worked out.
Ali
You don't know what it is not to have a home. That's why you European Reds don't get it. You say, "It's nothing," but you have a home to come back to. ], ], ]... We all pretend we care about your international revolution, but we don't care. We want to be nations. Home is everything.
