No Country for Old Men - Confrontation Over Money and Loss
Carla Jean Moss:
I knew this wasn't done with.
Anton Chigurh:
No.
Carla Jean:
I ain't got the money. What little I had is long gone and there's bills a-plenty to pay yet. I buried my mother today. I ain't paid for that neither.
Chigurh:
I wouldn't worry about it.
Carla Jean:
I need to sit down. You got no cause to hurt me.
Chigurh:
No, but I gave my word.
Carla Jean:
You gave your word?
Chigurh:
To your husband.
Carla Jean:
That don't make sense. You gave your word to my husband to kill me?
Chigurh:
Your husband had the opportunity to save you. Instead, he used you to try to save himself.
Carla Jean:
Not like that. Not like you say. You don't have to do this.
Chigurh:
People always say the same thing.
Carla Jean:
What do they say?
Chigurh:
They say, "You don't have to do this.
Carla Jean:
You don't.
Chigurh: [sighs; tosses a coin]
Okay. This is the best I can do. Call it.
Carla Jean:
I knowed you was crazy when I saw you sittin there. I knowed exactly what was in store for me.
Chigurh:
Call it.
Carla Jean:
No, I ain't gonna call it.
Chigurh:
Call it.
Carla Jean:
The coin don't have no say. It's just you.
Chigurh:
Well, I got here the same way the coin did.

Trainspotting - Consequences of Choices in Uncertain Lives
Diane: [narrating, while Renton is reading a letter from her]
Dear Mark, I'm glad you've found a job and somewhere to live. School is fine at the moment. I'm not pregnant, but thanks for asking. Your friend Sick Boy asked me last week if I would like to work for him, but I told him where to go. I met Spud, who sends his regards, or at least I think that's what he said. No one seen Tommy for ages, and finally, Francis Begbie has been on television a lot this week, as he is wanted by the police, in connection with an armed robbery in a jewellers in Corstorphine. Take care. Yours with love, Diane.
Diane:
Francis Begbie.
Renton: [realises it's Begbie]
Oh no.
Begbie:
Armed robbery? What? With a replica? I mean, how can it be an armed robbery with a fucking replica? Fucking scandal. And the gear? Look! Supposed to be fucking solid silver, it's fucking garbage. There's young couples investing their hopes in that stuff and all.
Renton:
It's a scandal, Franco.
Begbie:
Too fucking right that is!
Begbie: [[w:Lee Marvin|Lee Marvin]
And I don't want any pot noodles, by the way. I'm fucking ] (i.e. starving).

Trainspotting - A Memorable Introduction Between Two Characters
Renton:
Excuse me, excuse me. I don't mean to harass you, but I was very impressed with the capable and stylish manner in which you dealt with that situation. I was thinking to myself, now this girl's special.
Diane:
Thanks.
Renton:
What's your name?
Diane:
Diane.
Renton:
Where are you going, Diane?
Diane:
I'm going home.
Renton:
Where's that?
Diane:
It's where I live.
Renton:
Great.
Diane:
What?
Renton:
I'll come back with you if you like, but I'm not promising anything.
Diane:
Do you find that this approach usually works? Or, let me guess, you've never tried it before. In fact, you don't normally approach girls, am I right? The truth is that you're a quiet, sensitive type. But if I'm prepared to take a chance, I might just get to know the inner you: witty, adventurous, passionate, loving, loyal... Taxi! ...a little bit crazy, a little bit bad. But, hey, don't us girls just love that?
Renton:
Eh?
Diane: [enters taxicab]
Well... what's wrong, boy? Cat got your tongue?
Renton: [confused]
I left something...
Taxi Driver:
You getting in or not, pal?

Gosford Park - The Fate of William's Maid
Lady Trentham:
Tell me, what happened to William's little maid? I never saw her again after that dinner.
Mary Maceachran:
Elsie?
Lady Trentham:
Hmm.
Mary Maceachran:
She's gone.
Lady Trentham:
Aw, it's a pity, really. I thought it was a good idea to have someone in the house who is actually sorry he's dead.

Nanny McPhee - Finding Confidence Before the Wedding
Evangeline:
Oh, Nanny McPhee, I'm so nervous.
Nanny McPhee:
Deep breaths.
Evangeline:
I don't look much like a bride, do I?
Nanny McPhee:
You will.
Nanny McPhee:
How's the reading coming along?
Evangeline:
It's much better. But I still haven't got to the end of the story.
Nanny McPhee:
No need. You are the end of the story.
Nanny McPhee:
(narrating) There is something you should understand about the way I work. When you need me, but do not want me, then I must stay. When you want me, but no longer need me, then I have to go.

Nanny McPhee - Children's Choices Lead to Unexpected Outcomes
Mr. Brown:
Nanny McPhee! Now she can't take the donkey, so what have you done?
Nanny McPhee:
I have done nothing, sir. The children have decided amongst themselves.
Mr. Brown:
Decided what?
Great Aunt Adelaide:
(off in distance) There you are, my dear.
Mr. Brown:
Not little Chrissy. (runs from the house) Chrissy!
Great Aunt Adelaide:
(in the carriage) Now, then, you'd better tell me your name, little girl.
Mr. Brown:
(bolts down the road) Chrissy!
Great Aunt Adelaide:
Don't be shy, my dear. What is your name?.
Mr. Brown:
(in the forest) Chrissy!
Great Aunt Adelaide:
Sit up straight, and tell me your name.
Mr. Brown:
(the carriage fades in the distance) NO! Christianna!
Christianna:
Papa! Papa!
Mr. Brown:
Oh, thank... (the other children run up to him) Oh... Then who is...?
Evangeline:
(raises head for Aunt Adelaide to see) Evangeline. My name is Evangeline.
Great Aunt Adelaide:
(chuckles) And what a pretty name it is too.
Mr. Brown:
(disbelief) Evangeline... Oh...

Anna Karenina - Confronting Expectations in St. Petersburg Society
Dolly:
Kitty's coming by to see you. She's all grown-up, and a bit frightened of you — the belle of St. Petersburg society!
Anna: [Dolly bursts into tears. Anna embraces her.]
Is that who I am? Dolly... Stiva has told me. Dolly, I'm so sorry from the bottom of my heart.
Dolly:
I don't know what to do.
Anna:
I know, I know.
Dolly:
I can't bear to be with him. And he doesn't care, he's got what he wants.
Anna:
What he wants is you. He loves you, Dolly. You and the children are everything to him.
Dolly:
Are we? And there is room for a governess?
Anna:
That was shameful, disgraceful. But it was not love. It was the animal in man, not the soul. Stiva's remorse is from the soul.
Dolly:
What about me? Does his remorse make it easier for me?
Anna:
I know you are suffering. But, Dolly, you must tell me... is there enough love left in your heart... enough to forgive him?
Dolly:
When I think of them together, I can't forgive him, no!
Anna:
My poor lamb. So you'd rather accept your fate...
Dolly:
My fate? But I haven't done anything! It’s him who's—
Anna: [Dolly nods tearfully.]
Do you love him, Dolly? You love him, and he loves you, but you can't forgive, so your lives must continue like this forever, with both of you wretched.
