Memorable Quotes from Karl Urban
24 quotesThe Rising Threat and Hope in Darkness
Denethor
You may triumph on the field of battle for a day, but against the power that is risen in the East, there is no victory!
[to Gandalf before dropping the torch to set himself and Faramir on fire; extended edition only]
Arwen
From the ashes, a fire shall be woken. A light from the shadow shall spring. Renewed shall be blade that was broken. The crownless again shall be king.
Legolas
The stars are veiled. Something stirs in the East, a sleepless malice...The Eye of the Enemy is moving. He is here!
[talking to Aragorn; reacts with horror as he senses Pippin looking into the Palantir]
Éomer
You know as little of war as that Hobbit. When the fear takes him, and the blood, and the screams, and the horrors of battle take hold, do you think he would stand and fight? He would flee. And it would be right to do so. War is the province of Men, Éowyn.
[to Éowyn, about Merry]
Theoden
Reform the line. Reform the line! Sound the charge; take them head on! Charge!!
Gothmog
The Age of Men is over. The time of the Orc has come.

High-Stakes Training for Rookie Judges
Judge Dredd
A rookie Judge on assessment is likely to be involved in armed combat. One in five don't survive the first day. You may be required to carry out on-the-spot executions of convicted felons.
Judge Cassandra Anderson
Yes, sir.
Judge Dredd
Incorrect sentencing is an automatic fail. Disobeying a direct order from your assessment officer is an automatic fail. Losing your primary weapon or having it taken from you is an automatic fail.
Judge Cassandra Anderson
Yes, sir.
Judge Dredd
You ready, rookie?
Judge Cassandra Anderson
I am.
Judge Dredd
Your assessment starts now.

The Essence of Heroism and Self-Discovery
Johnny Cage
You wanna know what makes a hero? It's not destiny. It's not something you're born with. It's searching for greatness than realizing you've had it in you this entire time.

Chaos and Order in Mega City One
Judge Dredd
America is an irradiated wasteland. Within it lies a city. Outside the boundary walls, a desert. A cursed earth. Inside the walls, a cursed city, stretching from Boston to Washington D.C. An unbroken concrete landscape. 800 million people living in the ruin of the old world and the mega structures of the new one. Mega blocks. Mega highways. Mega City One. Convulsing. Choking. Breaking under its own weight. Citizens in fear of the street. The gun. The gang. Only one thing fighting for order in the chaos: the men and women of the Hall of Justice. Juries. Executioners. Judges.

Order of Operations in Crisis Situations
The Kid
Sarge! There's a storeroom to the south. It's got, like, 20 people holed up inside of it. We gotta do something.
Sarge
Your orders were to clear that sector. Is it cleared?
The Kid
No, I told them to stay put. They're okay, just scared shitless.
Sarge
We kill em all. Let God sort em out.
The Kid
This is wrong! I don't think-
[''Uncertain'']
Sarge
Son! You don't think! That's an order. We're in the field, soldier.
John "Reaper" Grimm
Sarge, if nothing's found them...
Sarge
You will obey the order of your commanding officer.
The Kid
No.
[''Hesitates, then answers firmly'']
Sarge
Now.
The Kid
Go to Hell.
[''He rushes to The Kid, but the rookie Marine dies moments later.'']
Gregory "Duke" Schofield
Holy shit!
Sarge
Mutinous insurrection... is punishable, by death.
John "Reaper" Grimm
It was his first mission!
Sarge
And it's not gonna be my last! I need soldiers! I don't need anybody else, but soldiers!
Pinky
Drop the weapons! I have no intention of being killed by a madman! Drop the weapons!
[''Nervously, aiming a pistol'']
Pinky
What? Aw, there's something behind me, isn't there-
[''Pauses'']
Sarge
On me!

Tension Among Elf, Man, and Dwarf
Éomer
What business does an Elf, a Man, and a Dwarf have in the Riddermark? Speak quickly!
Gimli
Give me your name, Horse-master, and I shall give you mine.
Éomer
I would cut off your head, Dwarf, if it stood but a little higher from the ground.
Legolas
You would die before your sword fell!

Mysterious Voice Captivates Crew Members
Greer
Earlier, when I was doing my recon, I could swear I heard a woman's voice singing to me. It was like she was, like she was coming on to me or something.
Munder
Oh, no.
[laughs]
Greer
It was the sexiest voice I ever heard, man.
Santos
She got any backup singers?
Munder
Brother, whatever you're on, get me some!
Dodge
I think maybe you're not quite ready to get married, Greer.
[laughs]

High Stakes Confrontation Between Dredd and Ma-Ma
Ma-Ma
You're a piece of work, Dredd. But then so am I. You think I didn't know I'd get busted some day? Goes with the territory. This entire level is rigged with enough high explosives to take out the top 50 stories. If they go, the rest go, too. Like the jewelry? It's a transmitter synched to my heart beat. My heart stops beating, the building blows. Everyone in it, ash. You got no way out, Judge. Put your gun down. Do you know how many people live in this block?
Judge Dredd
This isn't a negotiation. The sentence is death.
Ma-Ma
You can't afford to take the risk.
Judge Dredd
We're a kilometer above ground. What do you figure the range is on that thing? Could it get through a hundred levels of concrete? How about two hundred? Let's find out. Citizen Ma-Ma. Your crimes are multiple homicide and the manufacture and distribution of narcotics. How do you plead? Defense noted.
[Dredd picks Ma-Ma up and holds her in front of a window.; Ma-Ma stares defiantly at Dredd]

Survival and Medical Urgency in Crisis
Sarge
Last man standing, Reaper. I think she needs medical attention.
[''Notices Sam'']
John "Reaper" Grimm
Can you get to the elevator?
[''To Sam'']
Sam Grimm
I don't know.
John "Reaper" Grimm
Try. Where are the survivors Kid found?
[''To Sarge'']
Sarge
I took care of that problem. Quarantine's almost over. Power should be back on any minute.
John "Reaper" Grimm
You killed the Kid.
Sarge
We're all killers, Reaper. It's what they pay us for.
PA System
Quarantine complete. Elevator's back online.
Sarge
It's finished. What do you say we go outside and get some fresh air? You gonna shoot me?
[''Sarge steps forward, but Reaper raises his weapon'']
John "Reaper" Grimm
Yeah, I was thinking about it.
Sarge
What you got left?
John "Reaper" Grimm
Half a clip. You?
Sarge
I've got... one round!
[''Raises the BFG''; ''Fires'']

Assessment and Drug Bust Encounter
Judge Dredd
Anderson. Your assessment's now over.
Chief Judge
When I heard you called in a 10-24, I figured I'd better check it out, seeing how I forced the rookie on you. So, what happened in there?
Judge Dredd
Drug bust.
Chief Judge
Look like you been through it.
Judge Dredd
Perps were uncooperative.
Chief Judge
So how did she do? Is she a pass or a fail?
Judge Dredd
She's a pass.
Chief Judge
I knew she would be.

Johnny Cage's Humble Self-Reflection
Johnny Cage
I'm not some great warrior. I'm not some champion. I don't have transformer arms and I don't shoot lightning bolts. This shit's got nothing to do with me. I'm an actor.

Justice and Responsibility in Judgment
Judge Cassandra Anderson
Go. Get out of here.
Judge Dredd
Mind explaining yourself, rookie? Abetting a felon is not just a fail offense. It's a crime.
Judge Cassandra Anderson
I already picked up the fail when I lost my primary weapon. I am not going to be a Judge, and I don't need to be a mind-reader to know it. He's a victim, not a perp. And until my assessment is formally over, I am still entitled to dispense justice. And that's what I just did by letting him go. Maybe that will be the one difference I do make. Let's finish this.

High Stakes Negotiation in a Hostage Situation
Judge Dredd
Release the hostage unharmed, and I guarantee you a sentence of life in an iso-cube without parole.
Ethan Zwirner
Life without parole? That's the deal you're offering?
Judge Dredd
Only if you comply. Your crimes include multiple homicide and the attempted murder of a Judge. If you do not comply, the sentence is death.
Ethan Zwirner
You aren't a very good negotiator, Judge. You know why? You got no fucking leverage! Here's the deal. You let me walk or I blow her fucking brains out. Okay?
Judge Dredd
Negotiation's over.
Ethan Zwirner
What're you doin? Didn't you hear what I said? I'll kill the bitch!
Judge Dredd
Yeah, I heard you, Hotshot.
Ethan Zwirner
What'd you say?
Judge Dredd
I said, "Hot Shot.

Judge Dredd Asserts His Authority
Judge Dredd
Inhabitants of Peach Trees, this is Judge Dredd. In case you people have forgotten, this block operates under the same rules as the rest of the city. Ma-Ma is not the law. I am the law. Ma-Ma is a common criminal. Guilty of murder, guilty of the manufacture and distribution of the narcotic known as Slo-Mo, and as of now, under sentence of death. Any who obstruct me in carrying out my duty will be treated as an accessory to her crimes. You have been warned. And as for you, Ma-Ma...Judgment time.
['''Ma-Ma:''' Let him talk.]

Negotiating the Cost of Justice
Judge Dredd
What's the price of a Judge these days?
Judge Lex
Million. Split four ways.
Judge Dredd
Three ways now.
Judge Lex
Suits me.
Judge Dredd
Doesn't sound like much. To betray the law. To betray the City.
Judge Lex
Save that shit for the rookies. Twenty years I've been on the streets. You know what Mega City One is, Dredd? It's a fucking meat grinder. People go in one end. And meat comes out the other. All we do is turn the handle.

Confrontation Between Judges in Crisis
Judge Dredd
Two-way split.
[after killing Judge Alvarez]
Judge Lex
Yeah, I'd be breaking a sweat, if you hadn't just run out of bullets. Armor-piercing.
Judge Dredd
Wait.
Judge Lex
Wait? Are you kidding me? Did you just say "wait"? Judge Dredd, the Judge Dredd, finally gets on the wrong end of a gun, and what he says is "wait." You know what? I expected more of you. I mean, wait for what? Wait for me to change my mind? Wait for another two or three seconds of life because you're so fucking weak you just can't stand to see it end?
[lowers his weapon in disbelief]
Judge Dredd
No.
Judge Dredd
Wait for her to shoot you.

Rookie Anderson's Academy Score Discussion
Chief Judge
Her final Academy score put her three percentile points below a pass.
Judge Dredd
So what's she doing in a uniform?
Chief Judge
Rookie Anderson.
[To an intercom]
Cassandra Anderson
Sir.
Chief Judge
What can you tell me about the person I am with?
Cassandra Anderson
Male. Another Judge. I can feel anger. And control. But.....there's something else. Something....behind the control. Something... almost...
Chief Judge
Thank you, Anderson. That will do.
Judge Dredd
She's a mutant.
Chief Judge
The Judges Council have chosen to overlook her status. You will, too. She's the most powerful psychic we've ever come across by a huge margin. The Judges are losing the war for the city. We believe she could be a major asset. As I said, her final score was only three points below a pass. It's marginal.
Judge Dredd
It's not marginal. She failed.
Chief Judge
The girl's getting one more chance. I want you to take her out. Give her one day in the field, supervised. See if she makes the grade. Sink or swim. Chuck her in the deep end.
Judge Dredd
It's all the deep end.
