92 quotesConfusion in a Supernatural Encounter
Jack Burton
What does that mean? huh? ‘China is here?’ I don’t even know what the hell that means! All I know is this Lo Pan character comes out of thin air in the middle of a goddamned alley, while his buddies are flying around on wires, cutting everybody to shreds...and he just stands there, waiting for me to drive my truck straight through him?! With LIGHT coming out of his mouth?!

Survival and Trust in Desperation
MacReady
I'm gonna hide this tape when I'm finished. If none of us make it, at least there'll be some kind of record. The storm's been hitting us hard now for 48 hours. We still have nothing to go on. One other thing: I think it rips through your clothes when it takes you over. Windows found some shredded long johns, but the nametag was missing. They could be anybody's. Nobody... nobody trusts anybody now, and we're all very tired. Nothing else I can do, just wait... R.J. MacReady, helicopter pilot, US outpost number 31.

Benjamin Harvey
All right! They're pirates of the Caribbean, just like you said Captain Ron.
[being chased by pirates]
Captain Ron
Yeah, squirt. Pirates are easy to deal with. It's the Cuban cops that you gotta worry about. Grand theft auto is a major biggie here in Cuba.
Martin Harvey
Grand theft auto? You stole this car?
Captain Ron
Nah, I didn't steal it, boss. I borrowed it. Sort of...

Unity and Belief in a Historic Victory
Herb Brooks
Two days later, the miracle was made complete. My boys defeated Finland to win the gold medal, coming from behind once again. As I watched them out there, celebrating on the ice, I realized that Patti had been right. It was a lot more than a hockey game, not only for those who watched it, but for those who played in it. I've often been asked in the years since Lake Placid what was the best moment for me. Well, it was here - the sight of 20 young men of such differing backgrounds now standing as one. Young men willing to sacrifice so much of themselves, all for an unknown. A few years later, the U.S. began using professional athletes at the Games - ]. I always found that term ironic because now that we have Dream Teams, we seldom ever get to dream. But on one weekend, as America and the world watched, a group of remarkable young men gave the nation what it needed most - a chance, for one night, not only to dream, but a chance, once again, to believe.

More Than a Game: A Deeper Meaning
Herb Brooks
I got a telegram from a lady in Texas today, and you know what it said?
Patti Brooks
What?
Herb
Beat those Commie bastards." We're playing a hockey game against the greatest team in the world, and they're the best that's ever played this game. Why can't we just leave it at that?
Patti
Because this is more than a hockey game to a lot of people.
Herb
Yeah and I keep running through them all. Johnson on Mikhailov. Broten on Petrov. Pav against whoever-Ov. We just ... We don't match up, Patti.
Patti
You might want to skip that when you talk to the boys tomorrow. Herb, there's no disgrace in losing to this team.
Herb
Yeah, I know.
Patti
The important thing is, you got this far.
Herb
The important thing? The important thing is that those twenty boys know in twenty years, they didn't leave anything on the table. They played their hearts out. That's the important thing.

The Nature of Expansion and Connection
Ego
I call it the Expansion. It is mypurpose. And now it’s yours aswell.
Quill
It’s beautiful.
Ego
Over thousands of years I implanted thousands of extensions of myself on thousands of worlds. In the dioramas, the cosmic plants overgrow and cover each of the planets, like chocolate on a malt ball needed to fulfill life’s one true purpose: to grow and to spread, covering all that exists, until everything... is me. I only had one problem. A single Celestial doesn’t have enough power for such an enterprise. But two Celestials - well now, that just might do. For the first time in my existence... I am truly NOT ALONE! What is it, son?
[''Turns to see Peter looking doubtful'']
Quill
My friends...
Ego
Now, well, you see, that's the mortal in you, Peter.
Quill
Yes...
Ego
We are beyond such things.
Quill
Yes...
Ego
Now--
Quill
But my mother... you said you loved my mother.
Ego
And that I did. My River Lily, who knew all the words to every song that came over the radio. I returned to Earth to see her three times, and I knew if I returned a fourth, well... I'd never leave. The Expansion... the reason for my very existence would be over, so I did what I had to do. But... it broke my heart to put that tumor in her head.
Quill
What?!
[''Outraged, shaking off Ego's influence'']
Ego
Now, now, all right, I know that sounds bad--
Ego
Who... in the HELL do you think you are?!
[''Reforming'']
Quill
YOU KILLED MY MOTHER!
Ego
I tried so hard to find the form... ...that best suited you, and this is the thanks I get?! You really need to grow up! I wanted to do this together, but I suppose you'll have to learn by spending the next thousand years as a BATTERY!

Humanity and Paranoia in Isolation
MacReady
I know I'm human. And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human. This thing doesn't want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation. It'll fight if it has to, but it's vulnerable out in the open. If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kill it. And then it's won.

Testing Blood to Identify the Alien Threat
MacReady
We're gonna draw a little bit of everybody's blood... cause we're gonna find out who's The Thing. Watching Norris in there gave me the idea that.. maybe every part of him was a whole. Every little piece was an individual animal.. with a built-in desire to protect its own life. You see when a man bleeds.. it's just tissue. But blood from one of you Things won't obey when it's attacked; It'll try and survive. Crawl away from a hot needle the same.

Palmer
I ain't going with Windows. I ain't going with him, I'll go with Childs--
Windows
Hey, FUCK YOU, Palmer!
Palmer
I ain't going with you!
Childs
Who says I want you going with me?!
MacReady
ALL RIGHT, CUT THE BULLSHIT! Windows, you come with us. Norris, you stay here. Any of them move, you fry them. You hear anything, anything at all, you cut loose on the sirens. We all meet here in 20 minutes regardless. And everybody watch who you're with, real close.

Childs
Yeah.
MacReady
Norris, get a table from the lab.
Blair
D'ya think that thing wanted to be an animal?! No dogs make it a thousand miles through the cold! No, you don't understand! That thing wanted to be US! If a cell gets out, it could imitate everything on the FACE OF THE EARTH! AND NOTHING CAN STOP IT!

Where were you, Childs?

Thought I saw Blair. I went out after him and got lost in the storm. Fire's got the temperature up all over the camp. Won't last long, though.
MacReady
Neither will we.
Childs
How will we make it?
MacReady
Maybe we shouldn't.
Childs
If you're worried about me...
MacReady
If we've got any surprises for each other, I don't think we're in much shape to do anything about it.
Childs
Well...What do we do?

Why don't we just...Wait here for a little while? See what happens.

Not for that Thing. It wants to freeze now. It's got no way out of here. It just wants to go to sleep in the cold until the rescue team finds it.
Garry
What can we do? What can we do?
MacReady
Whether we make it or not, we can't let the Thing freeze again. Maybe we'll just warm things up a little around here. We're not gettin outta here alive. But neither is that Thing.

Confrontation Between Hauk and Plissken
Bob Hauk
I'm not a fool, Plissken. S.D. Plissken... American, Lieutenant: Special Forces Unit "Black Light". Two Purple Hearts, Leningrad and Siberia. Youngest man to be decorated by the President. Then you robbed the Federal Reserve Depository... life sentence, New York maximum security penitentiary. I'm ready to kick your ass out of the world, war hero...
[He puts his glasses on, leans forward; reading Plissken's file; puts down the papers he has read; to Plissken, directly]
Snake Plissken
Who're you?
[calmly strikes a match against Hauk's desk to light his cigarette and in a bored tone of voice]
Bob Hauk
Hauk, Police Commissioner.
[takes his glasses off and sets them down on his desk]
Snake Plissken
Bob Hauk...
[thinking]
Bob Hauk
Special Forces Unit "Texas Thunder"... we heard of you too, Plissken.
Snake Plissken
Why are we talking?
[annoyed]
Bob Hauk
I have a deal for you. You'll receive full pardon for every criminal action you've committed in the United States. There was an accident. About an hour ago, a small jet went down inside New York City. The President was on board.
[he opens a drawer on his desk and takes out a certificate; lays the certificate on the desk; stiffly]
Snake Plissken
The President of what?
[bored]
Bob Hauk
That's not funny, Plissken. You go in, find the President, bring him out in 24 hours, and you're a free man.
Snake Plissken
24 hours, huh?
Bob Hauk
I'm making you an offer.
Snake Plissken
Bullshit!
Bob Hauk
Straight, just like I said.
Snake Plissken
I'll think about it.
Bob Hauk
No time. Give me an answer.
Snake Plissken
Get a new president!
[looks around the room]
Bob Hauk
We're still at war, Plissken. We need him alive.
Snake Plissken
I don't give a fuck about your war... or your president.
[directly to Hauk; seriously]
Bob Hauk
Is that your answer?
Snake Plissken
I'm thinking about it.
Bob Hauk
Think hard.
Snake Plissken
Why me?
[pause, while he smokes]
Bob Hauk
You flew the Gullfire over Leningrad. You know how to get in quiet. You're all I got.
Snake Plissken
I guess I go in one way or the other... doesn't mean shit to me. All right... I'll do it. Give me the pardon paper.
[pause]
Bob Hauk
When you come out.
Snake Plissken
Before.
Bob Hauk
I told you I wasn't a fool, Plissken.
Snake Plissken
Call me Snake.

Nuclear Fusion and a Urgent Mission
Bob Hauk
In 22 hours, the Hartford Summit Meeting will be over. China and the Soviet Union will go back home. Now, the President was on his way to the summit when his plane went down. He has a briefcase attached to his wrist. The tape recording inside has to reach Hartford in 22 hours.
Snake Plissken
What's on it?
Bob Hauk
You know anything about nuclear fusion?
Snake Plissken
No.
Bob Hauk
The survival of the human race, Plissken. Something you don't give a shit about.
Cronenberg
I'm going to inject you. It will sting for a second.
[approaching Snake with two injection guns; places both guns on the sides of Snake's neck and injects him, producing a loud bang]
Bob Hauk
That's it, Plissken.
Cronenberg
Tell him.
Snake Plissken
Tell me what?
Bob Hauk
That idea you had about turning the Gullfire around 180 degrees and flying off to Canada.
Snake Plissken
What did you do to me, asshole!?
Bob Hauk
My idea, Plissken. Something we've been fooling around with. Two microscopic capsules lodged in your arteries. They're already starting to dissolve. In 22 hours, the cores will completely dissolve. Inside the cores are a heat-sensing charge. Not a large explosion, about the size of a pinhead, just big enough to open up both of your arteries. I'd say you'd be dead in 10-15 seconds...
[makes the OK sign with his right hand]
Snake Plissken
Take them out, now!
[chokes Hauk]
Cronenberg
They're protected by the cores. Fifteen minutes before the last hour is up, we can neutralize the charge with X-rays.
[nervously]
Bob Hauk
We'll burn out the charges if you have the President.
Snake Plissken
What if I'm a little late?
Bob Hauk
No more Hartford Summit. And no more Snake Plissken.
Snake Plissken
When I get back, I'm going to kill you.
Bob Hauk
The Gullfire's waiting.
