Rob Roy - Communication and Pride in Relationships
Rob Roy MacGregor:
You should have told me, Mary.
Mary MacGregor:
Oh Robert, I should have but I could not. You were right.
Rob Roy:
No, you were right. I must have my own way too often. I should have packed my pride and given Montrose his way!
Mary:
No, Robert!
Rob Roy:
And all this has come on us. Craigrostan would still be ours, Alasdair and Coll would be alive...
Mary:
And wrong would have been done you!
Rob Roy:
And what about the wrong done you? Wrong past bearing.
Mary:
No, not past bearing! Not past bearing. Not if I have my Robert, and he has himself. And you would not, not if you had done a lesser man's bidding. "Honor is the gift a man gives himself." You told our boys that. Would you have stolen from yourself that which makes you Robert Roy MacGregor?

Rob Roy - Loyalty Amidst Political Intrigue
Mary MacGregor:
Your Grace, Robert finds himself in this position for taking Your Grace's part.
John Campbell, Duke of Argyll:
My part? What cause had he to do that? And in what manner?
Mary:
He refused to bear false witness against you, when the Marquis asked him to say that you were a Jacobite, to slander your name at court.
Argyll:
Montrose asked this of him?
Mary:
In remission of this debt. But Robert refused.
Argyll:
I did not know your husband bore me such goodwill.
Mary: [stands]
Indeed, Your Grace, I think he favors you no more than any other great man. "As wolves at lambing," that is his word for you all. Robert refused, not for Your Grace, but for his own honor, which he values above his own family, his kin and his clan, and for which I have oft chided him. But were he otherwise, he would not be Robert Roy MacGregor. Robert would not approve of my coming here to ask you for help, nor come himself if he were here. But I have no choice, unless I give him up entire to his enemies. And though I love his honor, it is but a moon-cast shadow to the love I bear him. By the grace of God, I have his child inside me and I will have a father for it.
Argyll:
You do your man no dishonor, Mary. Faith, he is a man much blessed by fortune.

Rob Roy - A Complex Revelation of Parenthood and Responsibility
Mary MacGregor:
Robert, there is more. I am carrying a child and I do not know who is the father.
Rob Roy MacGregor:
Ach, Mary.

Rob Roy:
It's not the child that needs killing.

Rob Roy - Conflict Between Desire and Loyalty
Archibald Cunningham:

Joe Gideon:
Nothing I ever do is good enough. It's not beautiful enough, it's not funny enough, it's not deep enough, it's not anything enough. Now, when I see a rose, that's perfect. I mean, that's perfect. I want to look up to God and say "How the hell did you do that? And why the hell can't I do that?
Angelique:
Now that's probably one of your better con lines.
Joe Gideon:
Yeah, it is. But that doesn't mean I don't mean it.

King Kong - The Complexity of Heroism and Exploitation
Dwan:
How can I become a star because of... because of someone who was stolen off that gorgeous island and locked up in that lousy oil tank?
Fred Wilson:
It's not someone! It's an animal, a beast who tried to rape you.
Dwan:
That's not true. He risked his life to save me.
Fred Wilson:
Before you cry your eyes out, honey, you should ask the natives on that island what they thought of losing Kong.
Jack Prescott:
Actually, they'll miss him a lot.
Fred Wilson:
Like leprosy.
Jack Prescott: [[magic]
No, that's where you're dead wrong. He was the terror, the mystery, and the ] in their lives. A year from now, that will be an island full of burnt-out drunks. When we took Kong, we kidnapped their God.

Cape Fear - Courtroom Tension and Family Dynamics
Max Cady: [holding Sam at gunpoint]
The people call Samuel J. Bowden! Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?!
Sam Bowden:
Cady, somebody's got to man the boat. We're heading into unprotected water!
Max Cady:
Do you swear?!
Danielle Bowden:
I'll do it, Dad--
Max Cady: [pointing her the gun]
You sit, Danielle! Don't you make light of your civic duty, darling! You're the jury!
Sam Bowden:
All right, all right, okay! I swear to tell the truth. What do you wanna know?
Max Cady:
Was a prior sexual history ever prepared in connection with my defence? Was a prior sexual history ever prepared in connection with my defence?!
Sam Bowden: [Cady hits him in the face and Danielle is screaming]
It's...
Max Cady: [looking in the camera behind him; addressing again to Sam; looking again behind him; to Sam]
I'm sorry, Your Honor. I agree. That was argumentative. An investigator did prepare a prior sexual history on the alleged victim, true? I can ask leading questions, Your Honor, he is a hostile witness! And would you care to tell the court what the gist was of this report?
Sam Bowden: [Cady hits him again]
Cady, it was fourteen years ago. I can't remember that--
Leigh Bowden: [screams]
How can he answer when you're hitting him like that?!
Max Cady: [to the camera behind him; turns to Sam]
Because he's perjuring himself, Your Honor. He knows damn well exactly what it said! Don't you?!
Sam Bowden:
It said that she was promiscuous. It said that she had three different lovers in one month--
Max Cady:
At least three! At least three! And did you show this report to the D. A.?!
Sam Bowden:
No, no...
Max Cady:
No, huh?! I only discovered it after I petitioned to represent myself, six years into my sentence! But there it was in the court file! But back in 77, you buried it, Counselor! Would you care to tell the jury why?! Would you care to tell the court why?!
Sam Bowden: [looking at Leigh and Danielle]
Because I know he brutally raped her and he beat her--
Max Cady: [hits Sam again]
TALK TO ME! I'M STANDIN HERE!
Sam Bowden:
Just because she was promiscuous didn't give you the right to rape her! You bragged to me that you beat two prior aggravated rapes! You were a menace!
Max Cady: [screaming]
YOU WERE MY LAWYER! YOU WERE MY LAWYER! That report could've saved me FOURTEEN YEARS!
Sam Bowden: [begrudgingly]
You're probably right.
Max Cady: [disgusted; [Virgil; [w:Inferno (Dante)|guidin' you through the gates of Hell!]
YOU SELF-RIGHTEOUS FUCK! I'm ], Counselor, and I'm ] We are now in the Ninth Circle, the Circle of Traitors! Traitors to country! Traitors to fellow man! Traitors to God! You, sir, are charged with betrayin the principles of all three! Can you please quote to me the American Bar Association's Rules of Professional Conduct, Canon Seven?!
Sam Bowden: [saddened]
A lawyer should represent his client...
