Bill Sullivan: I'm sorry for not standing, my fucking feet are killing me.

Clover Wilson: Agency first, God second.

Richard Hayes: I remember a Senator once asked me when we talk about CIA why we never use the word the in front of it. And I asked him do you put the word the in front of God?

Clover Wilson: There wasn’t very much to say. Six years is a long time.

Ulysses: [to Edward] Hello, I believe you know me as Ulysses. Do you know what our code name is for you... it's "Mother". Yes, they said you were the quiet type. But your silence speaks volumes, what is the saying? "Your silence is deafening?" yes that is it. You will be a great adversary Mother, hopefully for many years.

Thomas Wilson: [On writing] They are right what they say about me. I was weak, a coward. I compromised myself, my honor, my family, my country. I am ashamed of myself. To my wife: I am sorry I've done this to you. To my son: I hope you'll grow to be a courageous man, a good husband, a good father. I hope whatever you decide to do you live a good full life. I hope whatever your dreams maybe come true. Your loving husband and father." -Thomas Wilson's Suicide Note

Fernando Wood: I've asked you a question, Mr. Stevens, and you must answer me. Do you or do you not hold that the precept that "all men are created equal" is meant literally? Is that the true purpose of the amendment? To promote your ultimate and ardent dream to elevate—

Thaddeus Stevens: The true purpose of the amendment, Mr. Wood, you perfectly named, brainless, obstructive object?

Fernando Wood: You have always insisted, Mr. Stevens, that Negroes are the same as white men are.

Thaddeus Stevens: The true purpose of the amendment... I don't hold with equality in all things, only with equality before the law and nothing more.

Fernando Wood: That's not true! You believe that Negroes are entirely equal to white men. You've said it a thousand times—

George Pendleton: For shame! For shame! Stop prevaricating and answer Representative Wood!

Thaddeus Stevens: I don't hold with equality in all things, only with equality before the law and nothing more.

George Pendleton: After the decades fervent advocacy on behalf of the colored race—

James Ashley: He's answered your questions! This amendment has naught to do with race equality!

George Pendleton: You have long insisted, have you not that the dusk-colored race is no different from the white one?

Thaddeus Stevens: I don't hold with equality before in all things, only with equality before the law and nothing more.

George Pendleton: Your frantic attempt to delude us now is unworthy of a representative. It is, in fact, unworthy of a white man!

Thaddeus Stevens: How can I hold that all men are created equal, when here before me stands, stinking, the moral carcass of the gentleman from Ohio? Proof that some men are inferior, endowed by their Maker with dim wits, impermeable to reason, with cold, pallid slime in their veins instead of hot red blood! You are more reptile than man, George! So low and flat, that the foot of man is incapable of crushing you!

George Pendleton: How dare you!

Thaddeus Stevens: Yet even you, Pendleton, who should have been gibbeted for treason long before today, even worthless unworthy you ought to be treated equally before the law! And so again, sir, and again and again and again I say: I do not hold with equality in all things. Only with equality before the law.

Fernando Wood: Every member of the House loyal to the Democratic Party and the constituents it serves shall oppose!

Fernando Wood: We are once again asked - nay, commanded - to consider a proposed thirteenth amendment which, if passed, shall set at immediate liberty four million coloreds while manacling the limbs of the white race in America. If it is passed - but it shall not pass!

Fernando Wood: But all that was not enough for this dictator, who now seeks to insinuate his miscegenist pollution into the Constitution itself!

Ronan: [Horrified] You're mortal! How?!

Quill: You said it yourself, bitch. We're the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Ronan: What are you doing?

Quill: Dance-off, bro! You and me.

Quill: [offers Gamora to join; Gamora shakes her head "no"; aaaaaand back to dancing] Come on! Subtle. Take it back.

Ronan: What are you doing?

Quill: I'm DISTRACTING ya, ya big turd-blossom!

Ronan: [speaking to Thanos by hologram] The Orb is in my possession, as I promised.

Thanos: Bring it to me.

Ronan: [Ronan cracks the Orb open, exposing the Stone] Yes, that was our agreement. Bring you the Orb, and you will destroy Xandar for me. However, now that I know it contains an Infinity Stone, I wonder what use I have for you?

Thanos: Boy! I would reconsider your current course!

Korath: Master, you cannot! Thanos is the most powerful being in the universe!

Ronan: [Ronan seizes the Stone and, before its power can consume him, implants the Stone in his warhammer. Once in control, he faces Thanos; Thanos ends the communication] Not anymore. YOU CALL ME "BOY"?! I will unfurl one thousand years of Kree justice on Xandar AND BURN IT TO ITS CORE! Then, Thanos, I'm coming for you.

Nebula: After Xandar, you are going to kill my father?

Ronan: You dare to oppose me?

Nebula: No. You see what he has turned me into. You kill him, I will help you destroy a thousand planets.

Gamora: How could I think Tivan could contain whatever was within the Orb?

Rocket: [Altogether shocked and shaken] WHAT DO YOU STILL HAVE IT FOR?!

Quill: Well, what were we gonna do? Leave it in there?

Rocket: [Ignoring Quill] I can't believe you had that in your purse!

Quill: [Defensive] It's not a purse; it's a knapsack!

Gamora: We have to take this to the Nova Corps. There's a chance they can contain it.

Rocket: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! We're wanted by the Nova Corps!! Just give it to Ronan!

Quill: What, so he can destroy the galaxy?!

Rocket: What are you? Some saint, all of a sudden? What has the galaxy ever done for you? Why would you wanna save it?!

Quill: BECAUSE I'M ONE OF THE IDIOTS WHO LIVES IN IT!

Gamora: Peter, listen to me. We cannot allow the stone to fall into Ronan's hands. We have to go back to your ship and deliver it to Nova.

Quill: Right, right, okay. I think you're right. Or we could give it to somebody who's not going to arrest us, who's really nice for a whole lot of money. I think it's a really good balance between both of your points of view.

Gamora: [they see Ronan's ship approaching Knowhere] You're despicable. Dishonorable. FAITHLESS! Oh, no.

Drax: [with his knives raised; laughs] At last! I shall meet my foe, and destroy him!

Quill: You called Ronan?!

Yondu: [they start running off] Quill! Don't you move, boy! Don't you--! Get out of the way!

Drax: Ronan the Accuser!

Ronan: You are the one who transmitted the message?

Drax: You killed my wife. You killed my daughter!

King Thranduil: (To Legolas) Legolas, your mother loved you. More than anyone. More than life.
