The Adjustment Bureau - Consequences of Revealing Hidden Realities
Richardson: [to David]
Very few humans have seen what you've seen today. And we're determined to keep it that way. So, if you ever reveal our existence, we'll erase your brain. The intervention team will be sent, your emotions, your memories, your entire personality, will be expunged. Your friends and family will think you've gone crazy. You, well, you won't think anything.

Flags of Our Fathers - Gold Star Mothers and Their Tribute Flags
John "Doc" Bradley:
Who are these "Gold Star Mothers?
Bud Gerber:
That's what we're calling the mothers of the dead flag-raisers. You present each mother with a flag, they say a few words, people will shit money. It'll be so moving.

Flags of Our Fathers - Theatrical Expectations of a Historic Moment
John "Doc" Bradley: [At the mock [[w:Mount Suribachi|Mount Suribachi; [w:Soldier Field|Soldier Field]
] in You gotta be kidding.
Bud Gerber:
Hey, it took a lot of talented folks a long time to make that thing. Just wait till tonight when it's lit properly and there's thousands of cheering people in the stands, it's gonna look a lot better. So, stadium lights come down, spotlight comes up, you get your cue, you charge up this thing with the flag, you plant it at the top. You smile, you wave, you know the drill.
John "Doc" Bradley:
You want us to plant the flag on a pile of papier-mache.
Bud Gerber:
Hey, that's showbiz. And try to stand how you stood the first time you planted it. Just, you know, pretend the other three guys are with you.
Ira Hayes:
The dead guys.

Flags of Our Fathers - Dispute Over Flag Raising Identity
Bud Gerber:
Hey, you know what? I don't give a shit. You're in the picture, you raised the flag, that's the story we're selling, boys.
Ira Hayes:
Are you deaf? Hank isn't in the picture. Harlon is in the picture.
Bud Gerber:
Well, who the fuck is Harlon?
Ira Hayes:
Harlon Block. That's whose mother who should be here if anyone's should be. You know, I think this whole damn thing is a farce, you ask me.

Flags of Our Fathers - Clarifying the Flag's True Origin
Ira Hayes:
Hank wasn't in the picture.
Bud Gerber:
Sorry?
Ira Hayes:
Hank didn't raise that flag. He raised the other one. The real flag.
Bud Gerber:
The what? The real... the real flag? There's a real flag?
John "Doc" Bradley:
Yeah, ours was the replacement flag. We put it up when they took the other one down.
Bud Gerber:
Am I the only one getting a headache here? You know about this?
Keyes Beech:
It was after it was already in the papers. The mothers had already been told by then.
Bud Gerber:
Aw, that's it, that's beautiful. Yeah, that's beautiful. Yeah, why tell me? I'm only the guy that has to explain it to a hundred and fifty million Americans. Who is in the goddamn picture? Are any of you guys in the goddamn picture?
Ira Hayes:
Yeah, we're in the goddamn picture.
Bud Gerber:
Six guys raising a flag over Iwo Jima. Victory is ours. You're three of them, right?
John "Doc" Bradley:
This was the fifth day, sir. The battle went on for thirty-five more.
Bud Gerber:
Well, what'd you do, raise a goddamn flag every time you stopped for lunch?
Ira Hayes: [whispers to Bradley]
Can I hit this guy?

Flags of Our Fathers - Hope and Perception in Wartime Propaganda
Bud Gerber:
People on the street corners, they looked at this picture and they took hope. Don't ask me why, I think it's a crappy picture, myself. You can't even see your faces! But it said we can win this war, are winning this war, we just need you to dig a little deeper. They want to give us that money. No, they want to give it to you.

Flags of Our Fathers - Desperate Plea for War Funding
Bud Gerber:
You know what they're calling this bond drive? The Mighty Seventh. They might've called it the "We're Flat Fucking Broke And Can't Even Afford Bullets So We're Begging For Your Pennies" bond drive, but it didn't have quite the ring. They could've called it that, though, because the last four bond drives came up so short we just printed money instead. Ask any smart boy on Wall Street, he'll tell you our dollar is next to worthless, we've borrowed so much. And nobody is lending any more. Ships aren't being built, tanks aren't being built, machine guns, bazookas, hand grenades, zip. You think this is a farce? You want to go back to your buddies? Well stuff some rocks in your pockets before you get on the plane, because that's all we got left to throw at the Japanese. And don't be surprised if your plane doesn't make it off the runway, because the fuel dumps are empty. And our good friends, the Arabs, are only taking bullion. If we don't raise $14 billion, and that's million with a "B," this war is over by the end of the month. We make a deal with the Japanese, we give whatever they want and we come home, because you've seen them fight, and they sure as shit ain't giving up. $14 billion! The last three drives didn't make that much all together.

Iron Man 2 - Legacy and the Future of Technology
Tony:
Oh, it's good to be back. You missed me? I missed you too.
Random Guy In Crowd:
Blow somethin up!
Tony: [Walks off stage and a film plays on the back screen]
Blow somethin up? I already did that. I'm not saying that the world is enjoying its longest period of uninterrupted peace in years because of me. I'm not saying…that from the ashes of captivity…never has a greater Phoenix metaphor been personified in human history. I'm not saying that Uncle Sam can kick back on a lawn chair, sippin on an iced tea, because I haven't come across anyone who's man enough to go toe to toe with me on my best day. Please…It's not about me. It's not about…you. It's not even about us, it's about legacy. It's about what we choose to leave behind for future generations and that's why, for the next year and for the first time since 1974, the best and brightest men and women of nations and corporations the world over will pool their resources, share their collective vision to leave behind a brighter future. It's not about us! Therefore what I am saying, if I'm saying anything, is welcome back to the Stark Expo! And now, making a special guest appearance from the great beyond, to tell you what it's all about. Please welcome my father, Howard.
Howard Stark: [In film]
Everything is achievable through technology. Better living, robust health, and for the first time in human history, the possibility of world peace. So from all of us here at Stark Industries, I would personally like to introduce you to the city...of the future. Technology holds infinite possibilities for mankind and will one day rid society of all its ills. Soon, technology will effect the way you live your life everyday. No more tedious work. Leaving more time for leisure activities and enjoying the sweet life. The Stark Expo…welcome.

Iron Man 2 - A Father's Legacy and Vision for the Future
Howard Stark: [A filmed message left for his son; Gestures to his model of Stark Expo]
Tony. You're too young to understand this now, so I thought I would put it on film for you. I built this for you. And someday, you'll realize that it represents a whole lot more than people's inventions. It represents my life's work. This is the key to the future. I'm limited by the technology of my time, but one day you'll figure this out. And when you do, you will change the world. What is, and will always be, my greatest creation…is you.
