The Ogre - Abel's New Responsibility with the Boys
Obersturmbanfuehrer Raufeisen: [''To the new boys'']
Did you bring up these boys, Abel? Heil!
Boys:
Heil!
Raufeisen:
This is excellent, Abel. You showed initiative. In fact, I think I'm going to make this your regular job here. Plus, you like the boys, don't you?
Abel:
Yes, sir, very much.
Raufeisen:
Yes, and the boys like you. Excellent. You see, here's our problem. We have such a wonderful school, and all the best families in Germany are proud to have their children come here but the common people, especially the peasants here, you see... they are so crude and uneducated that they don't want their children to attend our school. They even hide them from us.
Frau Netta:
Bravo, Abel.
Raufeisen:
Now we want to give everyone the benefit of the Reich, and that's why I want you to help us, Abel. You consider yourself an ordinary fellow. So it's simply ideal. All right, my boy? I'm relying on you. Cover the entire countryside, and don't worry about insisting when you have to. Just bring me the boys.

Places in the Heart - Self-Description and Personal Reflection
Mr. Will:
Mrs. Spalding, can I ask you a question?
Edna Spalding:
Yes.
Mr. Will:
What do you look like?
Edna Spalding:
I have long hair and I tie it up in the back. And I have brown eyes. I always wanted to have blue eyes, like my Mama, but Margaret got those. And my teeth stick out in front, a little, because I sucked my thumb a long time when I was a little girl. I'm no real beauty. I'm all right.

Places in the Heart - Determining the Workforce for Cotton Picking
Edna Spalding:
We'll start right now!
Mr. Will:
Well, you got 30 acres to pick.
Edna Spalding:
Frank and Possum can help.
Mr. Will:
Well, that's not going to be nearly enough.
Edna Spalding:
Then, I'll pick 24 hours a day.
Moze:
Did you ever pick cotton? After an hour, the hulls start cuttin your fingers. Then by noon both of your hands is bleedin'. And later on, your fingers start to swell. And after a little more time, they ain't no feelin in your hands whatsoever. And I ain't even speakin about what it does to your knees and I ain't even talkin about what it does to your back. Now, we can't do it. Now, get that through your head. Once and for all, we can't do it. Now, you best stop thinkin about it before you end up killin yourself!
Edna Spalding:
Now you listen to me. If we lose this place, then you're goin back to beggin for every single meal. Mr. Will, they're gonna put you in a state home. And I'm gonna lose what's left of my family. I'm not gonna let that happen. I don't care what it takes. I don't care if it kills me. I don't care if it kills you. I'm not gonna give up. And if the two of you do, you can go straight to Hell!

Places in the Heart - Seeking Solitude Amidst Unwanted Assistance
Mr. Will:
Mrs. Spalding, I don't want me to be here anymore than you want me to be. Now, I won't be any more trouble than is necessary. And all I'll ask in return is to be left alone in peace and quiet.
Edna Spalding:
Well, I just thought...
Mr. Will:
I know what you just thought. But I don't need your help, and I don't need you to feel sorry for me.

Places in the Heart - Desire for Solitude and Dignity
Mr. Will:
Mrs. Spalding, believe me, if I had anyplace else to go tonight besides the State Home for the Infirm, I'd gladly leave right now. Now, when I came here, all I asked was to be left alone. I am not some kind of freak that is here on display for the amusement of those hooligans you call children.

Tom Ripley:
You know why you got caught?
Jonathan Trevanny:
Why?
Tom Ripley:
Because you didn't think of just killing your teachers.

Ripley's Game - Discussion of a Failed Assassination
Jonathan Trevanny:
One of them's still alive.
Tom Ripley:
How do you know?
Jonathan Trevanny:
Well, I heard it on the world news.
Tom Ripley:
Jesus. I always figured you for a talk radio man. Okay, well, I guess I didn't strangle him long enough. It's not like a garrote comes with a manual.
Jonathan Trevanny:
Ah, one of them got a very, very good look at me.
Tom Ripley:
Jonathan, that's the first rule of the game. Don't ever worry about anything you can't control, ever. Anyway, I don't think they can trace us here and if they get close, I'll let you know.
Jonathan Trevanny:
What about my family? I'm just worried about my family.
Tom Ripley:
Well, don't worry. If they come for anyone, they'll come for me. I think these Balkan types tend to take strangling quite personally.

Ripley's Game - The Nature of Conscience and Existence
Jonathan Trevanny: [crying]
I know I should thank you, because I wouldn't be alive now if you hadn't helped me.... but I can't. I can't say thank you. I don't know anything about you. Who are you?
Tom Ripley:
I'm a creation. A gifted improviser. I lack your conscience and, when I was young, that troubled me. It no longer does. I don't worry about being caught because I don't think anyone is watching. The world is not a poorer place because those people are dead — it's not. It's one less car on the road, a little less noise and menace. You were brave today. You'll go home and put some money away for your family. That's all.
Jonathan Trevanny:
If you "lack my conscience," then why did you help me on the train?
Tom Ripley: [smiles]
I don't know, but it doesn't surprise me. If there's one thing I know, it's that we're constantly being born.
Jonathan Trevanny:
But why me? Why did you pick me?
Tom Ripley: [checks watch]
Partly because you could. Partly because you insulted me. But mostly because that's the game. We need to catch this flight. Shall we?

Sarah Trevanny:
I don't know how much you...
Tom Ripley:
How much I...drink? Bathe? Work out?
Sarah Trevanny:
How much you know about Jonathan's condition.
Tom Ripley:
Nothing. I'm an innocent.
Sarah Trevanny:
Jonathan has chronic myeloid leukemia.
Tom Ripley: [ingenuously]
My God, you're kidding! I'm so sorry.
Sarah Trevanny: [quietly]
Thank you. So, this opportunity came up for him to get a second opinion at this research foundation. He doesn't talk about it much, but I know he's angry. He's angry because... he'll probably die soon, while the rest of us go on living. And he's angry to be so young. And he's angry that he might not see Matthew grow up.
Tom Ripley:
And what about you? Are you angry?
Sarah Trevanny: [sadly]
Sometimes. I love him completely, but... I feel there's a part of me that will be glad when it's all over...and that's a terrible thing to say.
Tom Ripley:
I don't think you could say anything that terrible, or think it. I don't think what you're feeling is terrible at all. I think Jonathan is very, very fortunate to have someone like you, and I imagine he knows it.

Tom Ripley:
You're not planning on singing me through the door, are you?
Reeves:
I've got the Carregio in here.
Tom Ripley:
Well, you're not coming in.
Reeves:
I'm fucking coming in.
Tom Ripley:
No, because it's not a Carr-egg-io, it's a Correggio. Just like it's not tacco but ta-a-cco. Not pasto but pasta, see? Your entire education comes from classic car magazines and you dress like you're on a condom run for the mob. By the way, it isn't a Correggio, it's a fake Rembrandt, and until you know that, you're not coming in with me.
Reeves:
Don't fuck me over here, prat!

If you do that, you do it convincingly, you walk out of here, we give you half a million dollars, okay? If you don't do it convincingly, I take you out back, and I run my fucking tractor over your head the rest of the day. Okay?

Dith Pran:
How does he get his copy out?

Sorry, can I help?

Yes, Raoul is my reason for being here, but not in the way you think. Once I, once all of us believed in spending our lives in the service of something greater than ourselves. Aramis had his faith, Porthos his lust for life, D'Artagnan his devotion and I had Raoul. But we all had a common dream; that one day, we would finally be able to serve a king worthy of the throne. It is what we dreamt, what we bled for and what we have spent a lifetime waiting to see. I taught Raoul to believe in this dream... and now my son is dead. So I am here to find out if his life was in vain, and the only one who can answer that question is you.

Leary: [aims pistol as Horrigan moves back]

Horrigan:
You didn't make me anything.
Leary:
I redeemed your pathetic, shitty life.

Oh, but you know about me? Do you have any idea what I've done for God and country? Some pretty FUCKING HORRIBLE things! I don't even remember who I was before they sunk their claws into me!

They made you into a real monster, right?
Leary:
That's right and now they want to destroy me because we can't have monsters roaming the quiet countryside, now can we?
Horrigan:
What do you see when you're in the dark, and the demons come?
Leary:
I see you, Frank. I see you standing over the grave of another dead president.
Horrigan:
That's not going to happen. I'm onto you.
Leary:
Forget it, Frank. I am willing to trade my life for his. I am smart, and I am willing, and that is all it takes. That president is coming home from California in a box.
Horrigan:
Where in California?
Leary:
Uh, the address? Come on, Frank. I'll keep you in the game, but I'm not going to throw it for you.

Hello, Frank. By the time you hear this, it'll be over. The President is most likely dead, and so am I. I wonder, Frank, did you kill me? Who won our game? Not that it really matters, for among friends like you and me, it's not whether you win or lose but how you play the game, and now the game is done and it's time to get on with your life. But I worry, that you have no life to get on with, Frank. You're a good man, and good men like you and me are destined to travel a lonely road. Goodbye, and good luck.

Mitch Leary:
What did happen to you that day? Only one agent reacted to the gunfire, and you were closer to Kennedy than he was. You must have looked up at the window of the Texas Book Depository, but you didn't react. Late at night, when the demons come, do you see the rifle coming out of that window, or do you see Kennedy's head being blown apart? If you'd reacted to that first shot, could you have gotten there in time to stop the big bullet? And if you had - that could've been your head being blown apart. Do you wish you'd succeeded, Frank? Or is life too precious?

Luxuriant? You had good sense being born there, Jim. I'm sure there was good living.

There certainly was good living, Basie. There - there was opulence!
Basie:
