The Role of a Stunt Double Explained

Allen Kincade So, uh, Rick, explain to the audience exactly what it is a stunt double does.

Rick Dalton Well, actors are required to do a lot of dangerous stuff. Say Jake Cahill gets shot off his horse. Now, can I fall off a horse? Yes, I can. Yes, I have. But say I fall off wrong and I sprain my wrist or twist my ankle. Now, that can put an undue burden on the production because now maybe I can't work for a week. So Cliff here is meant to help carry the load.

[all three chuckle]

Allen Kincade Is that, uh, how you'd describe your job, Cliff?

Cliff Booth What, carrying his load? Yeah, that's about right.

Embracing Life's Unpredictability and Opportunities

Jack Dawson I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen, or who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night, I was sleeping under a bridge, and now, here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figured life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You never know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you... To make each day count.

Defending Reputation and Ambition

Howard Hughes I am supposed to be many things that are not complimentary. I am supposed to be capricious, I have been called a playboy, I have even been called an eccentric. But I do not believe I have the reputation of being a liar. Now, needless to say, the Hercules was a monumental undertaking; it is the largest plane ever built. It is over five stories tall with a wingspan longer than a football field, that is more than a city block! Now I put the sweat of my life into this thing, I got my reputation all rolled up in it, and I have stated several times that if the Hercules fails to fly, I will leave this country and never come back... and I mean it! Now, Senator Brewster, you can subpoena me, you can arrest me, you can even claim that I have folded and taken a run-out powder, but, well, I have had just about enough of this nonsense! Good day!

Understanding the Aviation Business Dynamics

Howard Hughes I'm afraid you don't know how the aviation business works, Senator. See, wining and dining Air Force dignitaries is common in our business. It's because we all want the big contracts. All the major aircraft companies do it. I don't know whether it's a good system, I just know it is not illegal. You, Senator, you are the lawmaker. If you pass a law that states no one can entertain Air Force officers, well, hell! I'd be happy to abide by it!

Django Unchained

The Disturbing Logic of Calvin Candie

Calvin J. Candie This is Ben. He's an old joe that lived around here for a long time, and I do mean a long damn time. Old Ben here took care of my daddy and my daddy's daddy. Till he up and keeled over one day, old Ben took care of me. Growin up the son of a huge plantation owner in Mississippi puts a white man in contact with a whole lotta black faces. I spent my whole life here, right here in Candyland, surrounded by black faces. Now seein em every day, day in and day out, I only had one question: why don't they kill us? Now right out there on that porch, three times a week for fifty years, old Ben here would shave my daddy with a straight razor. Now, if I was old Ben, I woulda cut my daddy's goddamn throat, an it wouldn't-a taken me no fifty years of doin neither. But he never did. Why not? See, the science of ] is crucial to understandin the separation of our two species. And the skull of the African here? The area associated with submissiveness is larger than any human or any other sub-human species on planet Earth. If you examine this piece of skull here you'll notice three distinct dimples. Here, here and here. Now, if I was holdin the skull of an ] or a ], these three dimples would be found in the area of the skull most associated with creativity. But this is the skull of old Ben. And in the skull of old Ben, unburdened by genius, these three dimples exist in the area of the skull most associated with servility. Now bright boy, I will admit you are pretty clever. But if I took this hammer here, and I bashed in your skull with it, you would have the same three dimples in the same place as old Ben.

Finding Paradise Within Moments of Connection

Richard And as for the rest of us? We carried away our sins and made our way back to wherever it was we called home, to pick up the pieces of whatever was waiting. Of course you can never forget what you've done, but we adapt. We carry on. And me? I still believe in paradise. But now at least I know it's not some place you can look for. Because it's not where you go. It's how you feel for a moment in your life when you're part of something. And if you find that moment, it lasts forever.

The Divine Nature of Violence

Warden Did you enjoy God's latest gift?

Teddy Daniels What?

Warden God's gift. Your violence.

Warden When I came downstairs in my home, and I saw that tree in my living room, it reached out for me... a divine hand. God loves violence.

Teddy Daniels I... I hadn't noticed.

Warden Sure you have. Why else would there be so much of it? It's in us. It's what we are. We wage war, we burn sacrifices, and pillage and plunder and tear at the flesh of our brothers. And why? Because God gave us violence to wage in his honor.

Teddy Daniels I thought God gave us moral order.

Warden There's no moral order as pure as this storm. There's no moral order at all. There's just this: can my violence conquer yours?

Shang, Jimmy Spoils, Hell-cat, McGloin, and more. Friend or foe, didn't make no difference now. It was four days and nights before the worst of the mob was finally put down. We never knew how many New Yorkers died that week before the city was finally delivered. My father told me we was all born of blood and tribulation, and so then too was our great city. But for those of us what lived and died in them furious days, it was like everything we knew was mildly swept away. And no matter what they did to build this city up again... for the rest of time... it would be like no one even knew we was ever here.

Debating Certainty in Crisis Management

President Orlean Mmm-hmm. So how certain is this?

Dr. Randall Mindy There's 100% certainty of impact.

President Orlean Please, don't say 100%.

Old Aide #2 Can we just call it a potentiality significant event?

President Orlean Yeah.

Kate Dibiasky But it isn't potentially going to happen. It is going to happen.

Dr. Randall Mindy Exactly, 99.78% to be exact.

Jason Orlean Oh, great. Okay, so it's not 100%.

Dr. Teddy Oglethorpe Well, scientists never like to say 100%.

President Orlean Call it 70% and let's just move on.

Kate Dibiasky But it's not even close to 70%.

President Orlean You cannot go around saying to people that there's 100% chance that they're going to die. You know? It's just nuts.

The Illusion of Infatuation and Justification

Richard When you develop an infatuation for someone you always find a reason to believe that this is exactly the person for you. It doesn't need to be a good reason. Taking photographs of the night sky, for example. Now, in the long run, that's just the kind of dumb, irritating habit that would cause you to split up. But in the haze of infatuation, it's just what you've been searching for all these years.

A Moment of Truth on Live Television

Dr. Randall Mindy I don't feel so good.

Brie Evantee Alright, so I think what we'll do, we'll go to commercial break...

Dr. Randall Mindy No, please, please Brie. Don't cut away. Let me say something

Jack Bremmer You came to the right place, because on this show, we like to say things...

Dr. Randall Mindy Would you please, just stop being so pleasant? I'm sorry, but not everything needs to sound so goddamn clever or charming or likeable all the time. Sometimes we need to just be able to say things to one another. We need to hear things! Look, let's establish, once again, that there is a huge comet headed towards Earth. And the reason we know that there is a comet is because we saw it. We saw it with our own eyes using a telescope. I mean, for God's sake, we took a fucking picture of it! What other proof do we need? And if we can't all agree at the bare minimum that a giant comet the size of Mount Everest, hurtling its way towards planet Earth is not a fucking good thing, then what the hell happened to us? I mean, my God, how do-- How do we even talk to each other? What've we... What've we done to ourselves? How do we fix it? We should have deflected this comet when we had the fucking chance, but we didn't do it. I don't know why we didn't do it. And now they're actually firing scientists like me for speaking out, for opposing them. And I'm sure many of the people out there aren't even gonna listen to what I just said cause they have their own political ideology, but I... .I assure you, I am not on one side or the other. I'm just telling you the fucking truth.

I hope she's got us all taken care of, but the truth is... I think, this whole administration, has completely. Lost. Their fucking mind! And I think. We're all. Gonna die!
