Heaven Is for Real - A Family Moment at a Scenic View
Todd Burpo:
Well, I thought that went well, huh? Nice view.
Sonja Burpo: [Colton suddenly interrupts them by turning on a fire siren]
Mmm... I love being up so high.
Todd Burpo:
Colton! Hey! I thought I asked you to stop playing with that!
Colton Burpo: [turns off the siren]
I'm sorry, Dad!
Cassie Burpo:
I told him not to, Dad!
Sonja Burpo:
Half the church wants to stop feeling and start thinking. And the other half, they want the exact opposite.
Todd Burpo: [picks up the ringing cell phone; Colton sets off a fire truck horn; hangs up]
This is Todd. Yeah. Let me call you back. That was the newspaper. They want to do an article about heaven.
Sonja Burpo:
And?
Todd Burpo:
And they want to interview Colton.
Sonja Burpo:
And you think that's a good idea?

Heaven Is for Real - Casual Conversation Between Friends About Family
Jay Wilkins:
How are you doing, buddy?
Todd Burpo:
Good. How are you?
Jay Wilkins:
How's that Colton doing today? Is he back to torturing his sister?
Todd Burpo:
Yes. I need some advice, smart advice.
Jay Wilkins:
Well, I am not smart, so you came to the right guy.
Todd Burpo:
I know that.
Jay Wilkins:
Nothing but clumsy, inaccurate advice available here. I've been expecting to see you a little sooner.
Todd Burpo:
What do you mean?
Jay Wilkins:
Well, I'm your banker.
Todd Burpo:
I didn't come here for a loan.
Jay Wilkins:
Not the bank's money, just from a friend to a friend. Let me help you out, okay? Nobody would have to know.
Todd Burpo:
I'd know. I never wanted to be the guy who stands up there in the pulpit asking people to give to charity when all he does is take it.
Jay Wilkins:
It's not charity. It's a loan from a friend to a friend. I know you need the help. It's what real people do.
Todd Burpo:
I don't.
Jay Wilkins:
Well, then you didn't come here for smart advice. I don't think the church has kept your salary in line with the new members that you've brought in. I think you deserve a raise. Let me talk to the board, see what I can do.
Todd Burpo:
I didn't come here for a raise, either.
Jay Wilkins:
All right, good. I didn't want to ask them. What can I do for you?
Todd Burpo:
It's Colton. He's been talking about this, uh... We ask these kids to believe this stuff and I don't even know if I believe it myself, Jay.
Jay Wilkins: [Todd's and Jay's cell phones both ring at once]

Heaven Is for Real - Discussing Finances Amidst Romantic Sentiments
Todd Burpo:
When Jay offered us a house as a part of my salary, he never mentioned the railroad.
Sonja Burpo:
I like the rumble. It's romantic.
Todd Burpo:
How tight are we this month?
Sonja Burpo:
No, don't talk about money.
Todd Burpo:
Slim Forrest couldn't pay for those garage doors. He donated some carpet for the church instead.
Sonja Burpo:
But he said he had the cash when he placed the order.
Todd Burpo:
Um... Things changed.
Sonja Burpo:
You had a rough day, didn't you?
Todd Burpo:
As long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid.
Sonja Burpo:
You're good, but let me tell you something. The next time I'm practicing your favorite hymn and you howl like a dog, I'm going to whip you like a dog. Do you hear me?
Todd Burpo:
Doesn't sound so bad.

Heaven Is for Real - The Search for Understanding Heaven's Reality
Todd Burpo: [first lines of the movie]
Is heaven a hope? Or as real as the earth and sky? I once asked my grandfather that question. And he said by the time he knew the answer, it would be too late for him to tell me. The day would come when I asked that question again, staring into the eyes of my son.

You've Got Mail - Critique of Modern Technology and Media
Frank Navasky: [to Sidney-Ann Strongin on television]
Technologically speaking, the world's out of hand. Take the VCR. The whole idea of a VCR is that it makes it possible for you to tape what's on television while you're out of the house. But the whole point of being out of the house is so you can miss what's on television. Radio. Now there's a medium I can get behind.

Miller:
When you peddled that shit in DC, did they know it was a lie? Or did they just never bother to ask?
Clark Poundstone:
Okay, okay. Come on, none of this matters anymore. WMD? This doesn't matter.
Miller: [grabs Poundstone angrily and forcefully]
What the fuck you talking about? Of course it fucking matters! The reasons we go to war always matter! It's all that matters! It fucking matters!

Have you seen Verdell?
Melvin Udall:
What does he look like?
Simon Bishop:
My dog. You know, my dog with the adorable face? Don't you know what my dog looks like?
Melvin Udall:
Oh, I got it. You were talking about your dog. I thought it was the name of that colored man I've been seeing in the halls.
Simon Bishop:
Which color was that?
Melvin Udall:
Uh . . . like thick molasses, with a broad nose. Perfect for smelling trouble and prison food.

Is this fun for you? Hm? You lucky devil. It just keeps getting better and better, don't it? I'm losing my apartment, Melvin. And... and Frank, he wants me to beg my parents, who haven't called me for help. And I won't. And... I... I don't want to paint anymore. So, the life that I was trying for is over. The life that I had is gone, and I'm feeling so damn sorry for myself that it's difficult to breathe. It's high times for you, isn't it, Melvin?! The gay neighbor's terrified! TERRIFIED!

As Good as It Gets - The Humanity Found in Observation
Simon Bishop: [to Vincent Lopiano]
Okay. Wh - What I do is I watch. You ever watch somebody who doesn't know that you're watching them? An old woman sitting on a bus or kids going to school or somebody just waiting, and you see this flash come over them, and you know immediately that it has nothing to do with anything external because that hasn't changed. And when you see it, they're just sort of realer, and they're more alive. I mean, you look at someone long enough, you discover their humanity.
