Street: What are you gonna do, piss away all the hard work you did to get here?
Gamble: Piss WHAT away, Jimmy? The cage? C'mon man, we're better than that and you know it. Gonna come with me? Well, a real partner wouldn't have to ask that, would he?

Gamble: Yeah, I saved the hostage.
Street: You disobeyed the hold.
Gamble: No. I saved that hostage.
Street: [shouts] You disobeyed the hold! You made the decision yourself, and you shot a hostage, Jesus, Brian!

Gamble: Yeah, did you?

Arrival - Reflections on Life and Connection

Dr. Louise Banks: If you could see your whole life from start to finish, would you change things?
Ian Donnelly: [Looks up at the sky] Maybe I would say what I feel more often than I... I don't know. You know I've had my head tilted up to the stars for as long as I can remember. You know what surprised me the most? It wasn't meeting them. It was meeting you.

Arrival - Understanding Language as a Gift

Dr. Louise Banks: I know what it is.
Dr. Louise Banks: It's not a weapon. It's a gift. The weapon is their language. They gave it all to us.
Ian Donnelly: So we can learn Heptapod?
Dr. Louise Banks: If you learn it... really learn it, you get to perceive time the way they do. So you get to see what's to happen. But time, it isn't the same for them. It is not linear.

Arrival - Exploring Language's Impact on the Mind

Ian Donnelly: How are you feeling?
Dr. Louise Banks: I need some sleep, but...I am fine.
Dr. Louise Banks: I've been doing a bit of reading about this idea that...What if you immerse yourself into a foreign language?...You can actually rewire your brain.
Ian Donnelly: It is a hypothesis.
Dr. Louise Banks: It is a theory that...It is the theory that...The language you speak determines how you think. Yes, it affects how you see everything...
Ian Donnelly: I'm curious. Are you dreaming in their language?
Dr. Louise Banks: I've had some dreams. I don't think that makes me unfit to do this job.

Arrival - The Complexity of Communication and Relationships

Ian Donnelly: You know, I was just thinking about you. You approach language like a mathematician. You know that right?
Dr. Louise Banks: I will take that as a compliment.
Ian Donnelly: But it is. And... I watched you steer us around these communication traps that I did not even know existed. What...? I guess this is why I'm still single.
Dr. Louise Banks: Trust me, you can understand communication and still end up single.

Arrival - Naming the Heptapods in Arrival

Dr. Louise Banks: They have names. But what're we going to call them?
Ian Donnelly: I'm thinking "Abbott & Costello".

Arrival - Communication Challenges in Alien Interaction

Col. Weber: I don't want to take away from your success, but Dr. Banks, is it really the right approach? Try to teach them how to speak and read? That's gonna take long.
Dr. Louise Banks: You're wrong! It's faster.
Col. Weber: Everything you do here, I have to explain to a room full of men, whose first and last question is "How can this be used against us?". So you'll have to give me more than that!
Dr. Louise Banks: Kangaroo.
Col. Weber: What is that?
Dr. Louise Banks: [[w:James Cook|James Cook; [Australia] In 1770, Captain ]'s ship ran aground off the coast of ] and led a party, where they found the aboriginal people. One of the sailors pointed to the animals that hop around and put their babies in their pouch, and he asked what they were. The Aborigines said, "Kangaroo".
Col. Weber: And your point is?
Dr. Louise Banks: It wasn't until later that they learned that "kangaroo" means "I don't understand". So...I need this so that we don't misinterpret things in there, otherwise it is going to take 10 times as long.
Col. Weber: I can sell that for now. But I need you to submit your vocabulary of words before the next session. Remember what happened to the Aborigines. A more advanced race, nearly wiped them out.
Ian Donnelly: It's a good story.
Dr. Louise Banks: Thanks. It's not true, but it proves my point.

Arrival - Understanding Heptapod Language and Thought Patterns

Ian Donnelly: There's so much we still don't know about heptapods. ("Hepta", seven, and "Pod", foot). The breakthrough came when we realized what a heptapod says, has nothing to do with what a heptapod writes. Unlike all human written language, their writing is symbolic. It conveys meaning, it does not represent sound. Perhaps they view our form of writing as a wasted opportunity, passing every second communications channel. We have our friends in Pakistan to thank for their study on how the heptapods write. Because unlike speech, a logogram is free of time. Like their ship or their bodies. Their written language has no form or no direction. Linguists call this nonlinear orthography. Which raises the question: "Is this how they think?" Imagine you wanted to write a sentence using two hands, starting from either side. You'd have to know each word you wanted to use, as well as how much space they will occupy. A heptapod can write a complex sentence in two seconds effortlessly. It took us a month to make the simplest vocabulary.
