Identifying a Notorious Criminal in Conversation
Dr. Fred Schiller
These people don't like to work anonymously. They want you to know who's doing it to you. So this name Simon is probably not an alias. It's probably Simon or some variation.
Joe Lambert
Simon, Robert E. Busted in 86. Extortion. Kidnapping. 10 to 15. Did 7 years for good behavior. Released on a state work furlough two months ago.
[reads information off of a rap sheet]
Inspector Cobb
Check it.
[Rick tosses something to McClane]
John McClane
Thanks, Rick. Bob Simon was a bankrupt businessman who kidnapped his partner's daughter. He's a fuck-up, not a psycho. The guy we're looking for is nuts.
Charles Weiss
A nut who knows a lot about bombs. We found this in a playground. Professional. Very cool stuff! You know … Boom!
[comes in; thuds the bomb on Cobb's desk]
Inspector Walter Cobb
You think you should slam it around like that, Charlie?
Charles Weiss
It's unmixed. You can't hurt it. This stuff is cutting edge. It's a binary liquid.
Inspector Walter Cobb
A what?
Charles Weiss
Like epoxy. Two liquids. Now, either one by itself … you got nothing. But, mix em … : Ricky?
[puts a dab of the clear liquid on Cobb's desk; hits it with his shoe; dabs a paperclip in the red liquid, swirls it into the clear; Ricky Walsh moves aside and Charlie throws the paperclip at a chair. The mixture explodes and pops the chair up, startling everyone]
Connie Kowalski
Charlie, you're gonna be wearin that chair up your ass!!
[pissed]
Inspector Walter Cobb
Christ almighty, Charlie!
Charles Weiss
Like I said, very cool stuff. Now, with a package like this, you get a warning. Now, the bomb has to arm itself. You'll see the red liquid pump into the clear before it detonates.
[pretending to have not heard them]
John McClane
How long before?
Charles Weiss
Ten seconds, two minutes, it could be anything. But once it's mixed...be somewhere else.

Court Disagrees with Government's Sentencing Recommendation
Judge Foxman
Based on all available information, this court manifestly disagrees with the government’s sentencing recommendation. This courthouse is located within spitting distance of Wall Street. I know this from my personal experience trying to spit at it. The men and women who work there will commit more serious crimes by lunchtime today than the defendant has committed in this indictment. I simply don’t see how either the People or the cause of justice are served by locking Molly Bloom in prison.
Molly Bloom
It was as casual as if he was ordering lunch off a menu.
[voice-over]
Judge Foxman
Ms. Bloom, this court sentences you to two-hundred hours of community service, one year of supervised probation and drug testing and a one-hundred thousand dollar fine. This case is adjourned.

Birthday Banter Among Friends
Alice Cullen
As soon as you put the dog out.
Jasper Hale
Happy birth— —never mind.
[Bella glares at him]
Jacob Black
Age is just a number baby. What are you like 40, now?
[After Bella makes a comment about his age]
Jacob Black
What a marshmallow.
Jacob Black
(Mike: What is your problem?) Right now, you're my problem. Feeling sick? Maybe you need to go to the hospital. Do you want me to put you in the hospital?
[To Mike; Angrily stands up and walks toward Mike with hostility]
Rosalie Hale
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry to both of you, for how I've acted. And I'm really grateful that you were brave enough to go and save my brother. But this isn't the life I would've chosen, for myself. And I wish there had been someone to vote no for me. So, no. Jacob black is a man with a personality that is good.
Jane
Pain.
[Staring at Edward]
Jane
This may hurt just a little.
[To Bella]
Harry Clearwater
Don't worry about the bears, Bella. My Kung Fu is strong.
Jessica Stanley
I don't know why you want to sit through all those zombies eating people and no hot guys kissing anybody. It's gross... Like, why are there that many zombie movies anyway? Cause if it's supposed to, like, draw a parallel about leprosy, my cousin had leprosy, ok it's not funny, you know? And, like, is it supposed to be a metaphor for consumerism? Because don't be so pleased with your own, like, self-referential cleverness? Like, some girls like to shop. Not all girls, apparently. Although I was surprised you even called at all. Like, your depression thing, I get it. I'm totally, totally worried. But after a while, it's like, you're still bumming and I'm going through stuff too. And Mike said he just want to be friends. It's hard...
[To Bella, after they both see a movie]
Charlie Swan
Bella, do not ever do that to me again. Ever. And you're grounded for the rest of your life.
[To Bella, as he is about to punish her]
Emmett Cullen
Dating an older woman...hot.
[To Edward, at Bella's birthday party]

Confrontation Among Disillusioned Characters
Zane Cooper
I've never committed a cold blooded murder in my life, and I'm not about to. Not till I find Maverick.

Yeah, I know. You know the next time you people come and drive us off our land I'm gonna find a nice piece of swamp that's so God-awful, maybe then you'll leave us the hell alone.
