A Bargain for Eternal Life
Kaecilius Isn't it beautiful? A world beyond time? Beyond death?
Strange I made a bargain.
Kaecilius What is this?
[notices himself and his remaining Zealots fading away]
Strange Well, it's uh, it's everything you've ever wanted. Eternal life as part of the One. You're not going to like it.
[Strange breaks into a wicked smirk]
Strange Yeah, you know, you really should've stolen the whole book, because the warnings... the warnings come after the spells.
[To the departed Kaecilius]
Doctor Strange Introduces Himself to Kaecilius

Strange Doctor.
Kaecilius Mister Doctor?
Strange It's Strange.
Kaecilius Maybe. Who am I to judge?
Humor and Tension in a High-Stakes Encounter
Le Chiffre Miss Lynd will give me the account number, if she hasn't already, so all I need from you is the password.
James Bond I've got a little itch... down there. Would you mind?
[''Defiantly'']
James Bond No! No! No! No…TO THE RIGHT, TO THE RIGHT, TO THE RIGHT!
[''Screams in agony'']
Le Chiffre You are a funny man, Mr. Bond.
[''Lashes him again'']
James Bond Yes, yes, yes! Now the whole world's gonna know that you died scratching my balls!
[''Screams in pain''; ''Starts laughing maniacally'']
Le Chiffre I died? I died?
James Bond Yes, because no matter what you do, I'm not going to give you the password, which means your clients are going to hunt you down and cut you into little pieces of meat while you're still breathing! Because if you kill me, there'll be nowhere left to hide.
Le Chiffre Oh, but you are SO WRONG! Because even after I slaughter you and your little girlfriend, your people would still welcome me with open arms! Because they need what I know.
James Bond The big picture.
[''Resigned'']
Le Chiffre Yes. Now give me the password, and I will at least let her live. Come on, Bond. Do it soon enough and she might even be in one piece.
[''Slaps him on the cheek'']
Le Chiffre You're really not going to tell me, are you?
Le Chiffre Then... I think I'll feed you what you seem not to value.
Le Chiffre I'll get the money. Tell them I'll get the money.
Mr. White Money isn't as valuable to our organization as knowing who to trust.
[''Mr. White shoots Le Chiffre dead'']

A Mysterious Visitor Reveals a Past Connection
Draco So demigod, you have a visitor. She says she knows you.
Io My name is Io, Perseus.
Perseus And how do you know me?
Io I've watched you all your life. I guided you to your family.
Perseus Are you a god?
Io There are gods, and there are men, and there are those of us who are in between. Many years ago, I refused a god's advance. I was cursed with agelessness.
Perseus That's not much of a curse.
Io I've lived for years watching my loved ones die. I imagine you're sympathetic to that plight.
Perseus Is it true? Am I the son of Zeus?
Io Yes. The story of your birth began with the rebellion of King Acrisius...

A Scientist's Refusal to Return
Galen Erso What is it that you want?
Orson Krennic The work has stalled. We need you to come back.
Galen Erso I won't do it, Krennic.
Krennic We were on the verge of greatness. We were this close to providing peace and security for the galaxy.
[gestures with pinched fingers]
Galen Erso You're confusing peace... with terror.
Krennic Well, you have to start somewhere.
A Tense Introduction Among Heroes
Andromeda What's your name?
Perseus Perseus.
Andromeda Take this, Perseus. Please, drink.
Draco Hands off!
[slaps the goblet away]
Queen Cassiopeia Enough!
King Cepheus Our daughter the missionary!
Andromeda Have you seen what's happening out there? Have you even bothered to look?
Queen Cassiopeia We served as an inspiration.
Andromeda Hundreds of our men lost their lives, yet we celebrate. You're provoking the gods and you act if there will be no consequence.
Queen Cassiopeia Well, what do you want? Should we be afraid? Should we be trembling and soiling ourselves in fear? The gods need us. They need our worship. What do we need of them? Look at my daughter.
Andromeda You know it, bitch.
Queen Cassiopeia What could be more divine than her face? More beautiful than all of the women of Greece! More beautiful than Aphrodite herself! The Olympians should envy her! We are the gods now!
The Sin of Concealing Our Powers
Gellert Grindelwald To conceal our powers is not merely an affront to ourselves but sinful.
Divine Powers and Human Insignificance
Hades You were specks of dust beneath our fingernails. Your very breath is a gift from Olympus. You have insulted powers beyond your comprehension.
Queen Cassiopeia Who are you?
Hades I am Hades. Kneel.
Io Not now, Perseus. You will have your chance.
Hades What do you know of beauty? What is more beautiful than death? Gaze upon me, mortal queen.
Andromeda Mother!
Draco Princess!
Hades In ten days, when the sun is eclipsed, I will unleash the Kraken. Argos will be swept from the earth, and all of you with it. Unless you sacrifice the princess you so foolishly compare to the gods. Only her blood will sate the Kraken and Zeus, who you have so offended. Choose your penance, Argos. Destruction or sacrifice. This is the will of Zeus. The will of your father.
[turns and looks at Perseus]
Consequences of Rituals and Hypocrisy
The Ancient One Master Kaecilius, that ritual will only bring you sorrow.
Kaecilius Hypocrite!
Call to Arms Against the Muggles
Gellert Grindelwald Our time is close, my brothers and sisters. Our war with the Muggles begins today!
The Nature of Pain and Endurance
Le Chiffre You know, I never understood all these elaborate tortures. It's the simplest thing to cause more pain than a man can possibly endure. And of course, it's not only the immediate agony, but the knowledge that if you do not yield soon enough, there will be little left to identify you as a man. The only question remains: will you yield, in time?
A Call for Further Courage and Sacrifice
Arthur Knights... Brothers and arms... Your courage has been tested beyond all limits.
Bors Yes.
Arthur But I must ask you now for one further trial.
Bors Drink.
Arthur We must leave on a final mission for Rome before our freedom can be granted. Above the wall, far north, there is a Roman family in need of rescue. They are trapped by Saxons. Our orders is to secure their safety.
Bors Let the Romans take care of their own.
Gawain Above the wall is Woad territory.
Galahad Our duty to Rome, if it ever was a duty, is done. Our pact with Rome is done.
Bors Every knight here has laid his life on the line for you. For you. And instead of freedom you want more blood? Our blood? You think more of Roman blood than you do of ours?
Arthur Bors! These are our orders. We leave at first light, and when we return your freedom will be waiting for you. A freedom we can embrace with honour.
Bors I'm a free man! I will choose my own fate!
Tristan Yeah, yeah, we're all going to die someday. If it's a death from a Saxons hand that frightens you, stay home.
Galahad Listen, if you're so eager to die, you can die right now! I've got something to live for!
Lancelot Enough. Enough!
Dagonet The Romans have broken their word. We have the word of Arthur. That is good enough. I'll prepare. Bors, are you coming?
Bors OF COURSE I'M COMING! I CAN'T LET YOU GO ON YOUR OWN, YOU'LL ALL GET KILLED! I'M JUST SAYING WHAT YOU'RE ALL THINKING!
Unyielding Threat to the World
Gellert Grindelwald With or without you, I'll burn down their world. There is nothing you can do to stop me.
[to Albus]
A Father's Message of Love and Sacrifice
Galen Erso Saw, if you're watching this, then perhaps there is a chance to save the Alliance. Perhaps there's a chance to explain myself and, though I don't dare hope for too much, a chance for Jyn, if she's alive, if you can possibly find her to let her know that my love for her has never faded and how desperately I've missed her.Jyn, my Stardust, I can't imagine what you think of me. When I was taken, I faced some bitter truths. I was told that soon enough, Krennic would have you as well. As time went by, I knew that you were either dead or so well hidden that he would never find you. I knew if I refused to work, if I took my own life, it would only be a matter of time before Krennic realized he no longer needed me to complete the project. So I did the one thing that nobody expected: I lied. I learned to lie. I played the part of a beaten man resigned to the sanctuary of his work. I made myself indispensable, and all the while I laid the groundwork of my revenge.We call it the Death Star. There is no better name, and the day is coming soon when it will be unleashed. I've placed a weakness deep within the system. A flaw so small and powerful, they will never find it. But Jyn, Jyn, if you're listening... My beloved, so much of my life has been wasted. I try to think of you only in the moments when I'm strong, because the pain of not having you with me. Your mother. Our family. The pain of that loss is so overwhelming I risk failing even now. It's just so hard not to think of you. Think of where you are. My Stardust.Saw, the reactor module, that's the key. That's the place I've laid my trap. It's well hidden and unstable, one blast to any part of it will destroy the entire station. You'll need the plans, the structural plans for the Death Star to find the reactor. I know there's a complete engineering archive in the data vault at the Citadel Tower on Scarif. Any pressurized explosion to the reactor module will set off a chain reaction that will destroy the entire station...
