House of Sand and Fog - Confrontation of Power and Identity
Behrani: [to Kathy]
You think you can frighten me? You think you can frighten me with your stupid deputy coming here telling me lies?
Behrani:
What do you think I am? Tell me that. Am I stupid? You think I'm stupid?
Nadi: [Following them]
Don't!
Behrani:
In my country, you're not worthy to raise your eyes to me. You're nothing! And you can tell your deputy friend his superior officers know everything!
Behrani:
You tell him that! This is our home!
Kathy:
Please...
Behrani:
OUR HOME!
Nadi: [In Farsi; In English]
Leave her alone! That's enough! Please, stop! Please, to stop, Behrani!

House of Sand and Fog - Struggles Over Home and Family Safety
Kathy:
I grew up in this house. It's the house that my father left to me and my brother when he died. The county evicted me from this house by mistake and your husband bought it and now, he won't sell it back for less than four times what he paid. Now, I don't want to argue with him. You know, I really don't. It's just that if this goes to court, it could take...
Nadi: [interrupting]
They want to deport us?
Kathy:
I don't know.
Nadi:
You must see... they will kill us. They will shoot my children.
Kathy: [comforting her]
Hey, hey. You don't understand a word I'm saying, do you?
Nadi: [grabs a notepad and pen]
Please, you are a very nice girl. Please, you write for me everything. I want for to understand for discussing with my husband. OK?
Kathy:
OK.

The Day the Earth Stood Still - A Warning About Earth's Deteriorating Condition
Helen Benson:
I need to know what is happening.
Klaatu:
This planet is dying. The human race is killing it.
Helen Benson:
So you have come here to help us.
Klaatu:
No, I didn't.
Helen Benson:
You said you came to save us.
Klaatu:
I said I came to save the Earth.
Helen Benson:
You came to save the Earth from us.
Klaatu:
We can't risk the survival of this planet for the sake of one species.
Helen Benson:
What are you saying?
Klaatu:
If the Earth dies, you die. If you die, the Earth survives. There are only a handful of planets in the cosmos that are capable of supporting complex life.
Helen Benson:
You can't do this.
Klaatu:
This one can't be allowed to perish.
Helen Benson:
We can change. We can still turn things around.
Klaatu::
We have watched. We have waited and hoped that you would change.
Helen Benson:
Please.
Klaatu:
It has reached the tipping point. We have to act.
Helen Benson:
Please.
Klaatu:
We will undo the damage you have done and give the Earth a chance to begin again.
Helen Benson:
Don't do this. Please, we can change. We can change.
Klaatu:
The decision is made. The process has begun.

Hulk - A Reunion with Unspoken Tensions
David Banner:
My dear Miss Ross. Welcome back.
Betty Ross:
There are two guards right outside.
David Banner:
You don't have to worry. I'm not angry with you. Not anymore.
Betty Ross:
What do you want?
David Banner:
It's over for me now. I know that. And soon, it'll be over for Bruce. That's why I've come to you. To ask you if you could persuade your father, as a man, as a father himself, that if I turn myself in now, peacefully and before he puts me away forever, that he would let me see my son for one last time. Could you do that for me?
Betty Ross:
It's out of my father's hands now.
David Banner:
I understand. He's a puppet now. I don't blame him.
Betty Ross:
You shouldn't. You should blame yourself for what you've done to your son.
David Banner:
And what have I done to my son, Miss Ross? Nothing. I tried to improve on the limits in myself. Myself, not him! Can you understand? To improve on nature, my nature, knowledge of oneself! It's the only path to the truth, that give men the power to go beyond God's boundaries!
Betty Ross:
You know what's beyond your boundaries? Other people. All you've given Bruce is fear. Fear of life.

Hulk - Trust and Control in Uncertain Circumstances
Betty Ross:
We're buried out here in the middle of nowhere. How long are you going to keep him sedated?
General Ross:
For the rest of his natural life, if I have to.
Betty Ross:
You said I could trust you.
General Ross:
I'm your father. You can trust me to do what I think is right, not what you think you want.
Betty Ross:
He is a human being.
General Ross:
Well, he is also something else. Suppose he gets out, has one of his little mood swings in a populated area.
Betty Ross:
Yes, I'm aware of the potential danger. I'm also aware that he saved my life.
General Ross:
Yeah, from a mutant French poodle. I'm indebted to him for that. He also put three men in a hospital and Talbot's barely walking! I mean, what do you want me to do?!
Betty Ross:
I want you to help him! Why is he such a threat to you?
General Ross:
Because I know what he comes from! He is his father's son, every last molecule of him! He says he doesn't know his father, but he's working in the same exact goddamn field his father did! So, either he's lying or it's something worse, that he's-
Betty Ross:
What? Predestined to follow on his father's footsteps?
General Ross:
I was going to say "damned".
Betty Ross:
Of course you were, but I'm a scientist. As a scientist, I believe we can figure this out and he can be helped.
General Ross:
I know you do. Whether you know or care, I've got a lot of pride in what you've done, but this is too big for you.
Betty Ross:
Look, I know the government thinks they have a weapon on their hands, otherwise he'd be dead by now. They can probe and prod all they want. In the meanwhile, just let me try to help him. Nobody knows him better than I do. What did David Banner do to him?

Career Opportunities - Reflections on High School Experiences
Jim Dodge:
I look at my high school yearbook, and I don't see four fabulous years. Actually, what I'm reminded of, is what it feels like to have my underwear yanked up my ass by some big football player with arms like telephone poles.
Josie McClellan:
Okay, and where are those guys now?
Jim Dodge: [self-effacing; aiming a playful slap at her shoulder]
I know they're not working nights at Target, I can tell you that.
Josie McClellan: [laughs]
Yeah, you know, I look at my yearbook, and I see four fabulous years... that are gonna be the highlight of my life.
Jim Dodge:
Here's what it's like. First, you feel a hand going down the back of your pants, and tighten around the elastic waistband, and then...
Josie McClellan:
Highlight.
Jim Dodge:
Sometimes I'd actually see stars.
Josie McClellan: [muttering to herself]
It's not gonna get any better.

Yeah.
Josie McClellan:
I don't really care about a graphic description of a childhood prank.
Jim Dodge:
Hey, that prank was a motif in my life.
Josie McClellan: [scoffs]
You know, I'm... locked... in this store here... because I didn't have the guts to steal a skirt so that I could get arrested and embarrass my father in this... this stupid, desperate, childish, pathetic attempt to leave home. You have your underwear yanked up your ass. I have my entire life yanked up my ass!

Josie McClellan:
It makes me sad too.
Jim Dodge:
It's pretty stupid.
Josie McClellan:
It's very stupid.
Jim Dodge:
Are you serious? I mean, you haven't been drinking? This isn't the bottle talking?
Josie McClellan:
No.
Jim Dodge:
Then why don't you just talk to the guy?
Josie McClellan:
For the same reason you can't leave home. I can't tell my father to go to hell.
Jim Dodge:
Why not?
Josie McClellan:
Because I don't want to be alone.

Sarah:
Give me the child.
Jareth:
Sarah, beware. I have been generous, up until now. But I can be cruel.
Sarah: [disbelieving]
Generous? What have you done that's generous?
Jareth:
Everything! Everything that you wanted, I have done! You asked that the child be taken - I took him. You cowered before me - I was frightening. I have reordered time, I have turned the world upside down, and I have done it all for you! I am exhausted from living up to your expectations of me. Isn't that generous?
Sarah: [dreamily]
Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered ... I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the goblin city ... for my will is as strong as yours... and my kin-
Jareth: [he holds out the crystal]
Stop! Wait. Look, Sarah, look what I'm offering. Your dreams!
Sarah: [undeterred]
And my kingdom as great...
Jareth:
I ask for so little. Just let me rule you, and you can have everything that you want.
Sarah:
Kingdom as great ... damn! I can never remember that line...
Jareth:
Just fear me - love me - do as I say, and I will be your slave!

My kingdom as great ... my kingdom as great ... You have no power over me!

Jareth:
Yes... If I thought for one second that you were betraying me, I'd be forced to suspend you head-first in the Bog of Eternal Stench.
Hoggle: [grabs Jareth's knees]
AH NO, YOUR MAJESTY! NOT THE ETERNAL STENCH!
Jareth: [throws him off]
Oh YES, Hoggle! And you, Sarah - how are you enjoying my Labyrinth?
Sarah:
It's a piece of cake!
Jareth: [turns the clock forward to only 8 hours left]
Really? Then how about upping the stakes hmm?
Sarah:
That's not fair!
Jareth: [produces crystal; throws it down the corridor, where it becomes 'The Cleaners']
You say that so often! I wonder what your basis for comparison is. So the Labyrinth's a piece of cake, is it? Well let's see how you deal with this little slice...

Labyrinth - Frustration in a Challenging Environment
Sarah:
What a horrible place this is! It's not fair!
Tim:
That's right. It's not fair!
Tim:
But that's only half of it!
Sarah:
This was a dead end a minute ago.
Jim:
No, that's the dead end behind you!
Sarah:
It keeps changing! What am I supposed to do?
Tim:
The only way out of here is to try one of these doors.
Jim:
One of them leads to the castle at the centre of the Labyrinth, and the other one leads to...
Ralph:
B-b-b-BOOM!
Jim:
Certain death!
All Guards:
Ooooooooh!
Sarah:
Which one is which?
Tim:
Er, we can't tell you.
Sarah:
Why not?
Tim:
We don't know!
Jim: [looks up at top guards]
But they do.
Sarah:
Oh. Then I'll ask them.

Labyrinth - Misunderstanding in a Conversation with a Worm
Worm:
Ello.
Sarah:
Did you say... hello?
Worm:
No, I said "Ello," but that's close enough.
Sarah:
You're a worm aren't you?
Worm:
Yeah, s'right.
Sarah:
You dont by any chance know the way through this Labyrinth do you?
Worm:
Who me? Naahh, I'm just a worm, heh.
Sarah:
Oh.
Worm:
Come inside and meet the missus.
Sarah:
No, thank you, but I have to solve this Labyrinth. But there aren't any turns or any openings or anything, it just goes on and on!
Worm:
Well, you ain't lookin right! It's FULL of openings, it's just you ain't seen em !
Sarah:
Well, where are they?
Worm:
There's one just across there its right in-front of ya.
Sarah:
No there isn't.
Worm:
Come inside and have a nice cuppa tea.
Sarah:
But... there isn't an opening!
Worm: [laughs]
Course there is! You try walking through it, you'll see what I mean!
Sarah:
What?
Worm:
Go on, go on then!
Sarah:
That's just wall! There's no way through.
Worm:
Things are not always what they seem in this place. So, you can't take anything for granted.
Sarah: [walks through the 'wall']
Hey!
Worm:
Hey, ang on!
Sarah: [starts to turn left]
Thank you! That was incredibly helpful!
Worm:
Don't go that way!
Sarah:
What was that?
Worm:
I said, don't go that way! Never go that way!
Sarah:
Oh... thanks!
Worm:
If she had kept going down that way, she would've gone straight to that castle!

Labyrinth - Taking Things for Granted in the Labyrinth
Hoggle:
You know your problem? You take too many things for granted. Take this Labyrinth: even if you get to the centre, you'll never get out again.
Sarah:
That's your opinion.
Hoggle:
Well, it's a lot better than yours!
Sarah:
Thanks for nothing, Hogwart.
Hoggle: [growls]
It's HOGGLE, and don't say I didn't warn you!

Labyrinth - A Request to the Goblin King
Sarah:
You're him, aren't you? You're the Goblin King! I want my brother back, please, if it's all the same.
Jareth:
What's said is said.
Sarah:
But... I didn't mean it.
Jareth:
Oh, you didn't?
Sarah:
Please, where is he?
Jareth:
You know very well where he is.
Sarah:
Please bring him back. Please!
Jareth:
Sarah... go back to your room. Play with your toys and your costumes. Forget about the baby.
Sarah:
I can't.
Jareth:
I've brought you... a gift.
Sarah:
What is it?
Jareth: [silence]
It's a crystal, nothing more. But if you turn it this way, and look into it, it'll show you your dreams. But this is no gift for an ordinary girl who takes care of a screaming baby. Do you want it? Then forget the baby!
Sarah:
I can't. It isn't that I don't appreciate what you're trying to do for me, but I want my brother back. He must be so scared--
Jareth:
Sarah... don't defy me! You're no match for me, Sarah!
Sarah:
But I have to have my brother back!
Jareth: [points]
He's there — in my castle. Do you still want to look for him?
Sarah:
Is that... the castle beyond the Goblin City?
Jareth:
Turn back, Sarah. Turn back before it's too late.
Sarah:
I can't. Don't you understand that I can't?
Jareth:
What a pity.
Sarah:
It doesn't look that far.
Jareth:
It's further than you think... and time is short. You have thirteen hours in which to solve the Labyrinth, before your baby brother becomes one of us... forever. Such a pity...

Labyrinth - A Girl's Dilemma with Goblin Power
Sarah:
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful young girl whose stepmother always made her stay home with the baby. And the baby was a spoiled child, and wanted everything for himself, and the young girl was practically a slave. But what no one knew is that the king of the goblins had fallen in love with the girl, and he had given her certain powers. So one night, when the baby had been particularly cruel to her, she called on the goblins for help! "Say your right words," the goblins said, "and we'll take the baby to the Goblin City. And you will be free." But the girl knew that the king would keep the baby in his castle for ever and ever and ever, and turn it into a goblin.
