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 Is that who I am? Dolly... Stiva has told me. Dolly, I'm so sorry from the bottom of my heart.

[Dolly bursts into tears. Anna embraces her.]

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 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.

[Dolly nods tearfully.]

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...

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 Okay. This is the best I can do. Call it.

[sighs; tosses a coin]

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.

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.

Trainspotting

Consequences of Choices in Uncertain Lives

Diane 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.

[narrating, while Renton is reading a letter from her]

Diane Francis Begbie.

Renton Oh no.

[realises it's Begbie]

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 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 Well... what's wrong, boy? Cat got your tongue?

[enters taxicab]

Renton I left something...

[confused]

Taxi Driver You getting in or not, pal?

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.
