Steve:
Please, let me go. I won't say anything. Please, let me go. Listen, Brett, people know that we're here. They're going to call the police. If you let me go, I swear on my life, I won't tell anyone. Look, guys, please. We can stop this. Nobody's died yet.

Steve Jobs - Revolutionizing Music Access in Your Pocket
Steve Jobs:
I'm gonna put music in your pocket.
Lisa Brennan:
What?
Steve Jobs:
A hundred songs. A thousand songs. Five hundred songs. Somewhere between five hundred and a thousand songs. Right in your pocket. Because I can't stand looking at that ridiculous Walkman anymore. You're carrying around a brick playing a cassette tape. We're not savages. I'm gonna put a thousand songs in your pocket.
Lisa Brennan:
You can do that?
Steve Jobs:
We're very close. All I have to do really is wipe out the record business as we know it and we'll be all set.

Steve Jobs - Meaning Behind the Name LISA
Steve Jobs:

Lisa Brennan:
What?
Steve Jobs:
The computer -- the LISA, you know what it stood for?
Lisa Brennan:
I'm sorry I said that about the iMac, it's not what I really think--
Steve Jobs:
Behind my back, at the office, you know what it stood for?
Lisa Brennan:
Local Integrated System Architecure"! I was five! Why couldn't you just lie?!
Steve Jobs:
I did. Of course it was named after you. "Local Integrated System Architecure" doesn't even mean anything.
Lisa Brennan:
Why'd you say it wasn't, all those years?
Steve Jobs:
I honestly don't know.
Lisa Brennan:
Why'd you say you weren't my father?
Steve Jobs:
...I'm poorly made.

Steve Jobs - Conflict Between Vision and Character
Steve Jobs: [to Steve Wozniak]
You came a half inch from putting this company out of business. Now who do I see about that? I'm letting you keep your job. You get a pass.
Steve Wozniak:
You know, when people used to ask me what the difference was between me and Steve Jobs, I would say "Steve was the big picture guy and I liked a solid workbench". When people ask the difference now, I say "Steve’s an asshole". Your products are better than you are, brother.
Steve Jobs:
That's the idea, "brother", and knowing that... that's the difference!
Steve Wozniak:
It's not binary! You can be decent and gifted at the same time.

Steve Jobs - Conflict Over Apple’s Legacy and Innovation
Steve Wozniak:
This whole place was built by the Apple II, you were built by the Apple II!
Steve Jobs:
As a matter of fact, I was destroyed by the Apple II and its open systems so that hackers and hobbyists could build ham radios! Or something! And then it nearly destroyed Apple when you spent all your money on it and developed a grand total of no new products.
Steve Wozniak:
The Newton...
Steve Jobs:
The little box of garbage. You guys came up with the Newton, you, like, want people to know that. This is a product launch, not a luncheon. And the last thing I want to do is connect the iMac to the...
Steve Wozniak:
...to the only successful product that this company has ever made. I'm sorry to be blunt, but that happens to be the truth. The Lisa was a failure, the Macintosh was a failure. I don't like talking like this, but I am tired of being Ringo when I know I was John.
Steve Jobs:
Everybody loves Ringo.
Steve Wozniak:
And I'm tired of being patronized by you!
Steve Jobs:
You think John became John by winning a raffle, Woz? You think he tricked somebody or hit George Harrison over the head? He was John because he was John.
Steve Wozniak:
He was John cause he wrote Ticket to Ride', and I wrote the Apple II.
Andrea Cunningham: [to the people in the auditorium watching this]
Everybody! Look, I want to clear the auditorium...
Steve Jobs: [to Woz]
Nobody moves! You made a beautiful board which, by the way, you were willing to give out for free, so don't tell me how you built Apple. If it weren't for me, you'd be the easiest A at Homestead High School.
Steve Wozniak: [gesturing around the auditorium]
These people live and die by your praise, so here's your chance: acknowledge that something good happened that you weren't in the room for!
Steve Jobs: [after a long pause]
No.
Steve Wozniak:
Steve... do it! It's right, it's... it's right.
Steve Jobs:
Sorry, but no.
Steve Wozniak:
Then let me put it another way. I don't think there's a man who's done more to advance the democratization that comes with personal computing than I have, but you've never had any respect for me. Now why is that?
Steve Jobs:
I'd at least consider the possibility that it's because you've never had any for me.
Joanna Hoffman: [suddenly walking into the auditorium]
What the hell is going on here?
Steve Wozniak: [as he walks away]
Nothing. Thank you for your time.

Steve Jobs:
Tell me what's wrong with you this morning.
Joanna Hoffman: [crying]
What's been wrong with me for 19 years. I have been a witness, and I tell you I've been complicit. I love you, Steve. You know how much. I love that you don't care how much money a person makes; you care what they make. But what you make isn't supposed to be the best part of you. When you're a father... that's what's supposed to be the best part of you, and it's caused me two decades of agony. Steve... that it is for you... the worst. It's a little thing... it's a very small thing. Fix it. Fix it now or you can contact me at my new job working anywhere I want.

John Sculley:

John Sculley:
Jesus Christ!
Steve Jobs:
You want some advice, Pepsi Generation? Don’t send Woz out to slap me around in the press. Anybody else. You, Markkula, Arthur Rock, anyone but Rain Man'. Don’t manipulate him like that. Whatever you may think, I’m always gonna protect him.

Steve Jobs - Debate on Resource Allocation and Product Value
John Sculley:
I can't put it more simply than this: we need to put our resources into updating the Apple II.
Steve Jobs:
By taking resources from the Mac!
John Sculley:
It's failing. That's a fact.
Steve Jobs:
It's overpriced.
John Sculley:
There's no evidence that it's--
Steve Jobs:
I'm the evidence! I'm the world's leading expert in the Mac, John, what's your resume?!
John Sculley:
You're issuing contradictory instructions, you're insubordinate, you make people miserable, our top engineers are fleeing to Sun, Dell, HP, Wall Street doesn't know who's driving the bus, we've lost hundreds of millions in value, and I'm the CEO of Apple, Steve, that's my resume.
Steve Jobs:
But before that, you sold carbonated sugar water, right? I sat in a fucking garage with Wozniak and invented the future, because artists lead and hacks ask for show of hands!

Steve Jobs - Roles in Innovation: A Conversation on Contribution
Steve Wozniak:
Why has Lisa not heard of me?
Steve Jobs:
Shit, man, how many fourth graders have heard of you?
Steve Wozniak:
You can't write code. You're not an engineer. You're not a designer. You can't put a hammer to a nail. I built the circuit board! The graphical interface was stolen from Xerox Park! Jeff Raskin was the leader of the Mac team before you threw him off his own project! Everything-- Someone else designed the box! So how come ten times in a day I read Steve Jobs is a genius? What do you do?
Steve Jobs: [points towards the first violin chair]
I play the orchestra. And you're a good musician, you sit right there, you're the best in your role.
Steve Wozniak:
I came here to clear the air. Do you know why I came here?
Steve Jobs:
Didn't you just answer that?
Steve Wozniak:
I came here cause you're gonna get killed. Your computer's gonna fail. You got a college and university advisory board telling you they need a powerful work station for two to three thousand. You priced NeXT at 6500, and that doesn't include the optional $3000 hardrive which people will discover isn't optional, because the optical disk is too weak to do anything, and the $2500 laser printer brings the total to $12000, and in the entire world you are the only person that cares that it's housed in a perfect cube. You're gonna get killed. And I came here to stand next to you while that happens cause that's what friends do... that's what men do. I don't need your pass. We go back, so don't talk to me like I'm other people. I'm the only one that knows that this guy here is someone you invented. I'm standing by you because that perfect cube - that does nothing - is about to be the single biggest failure in the history of personal computing.

12 Years a Slave - Questioning Morality in the Face of Law
Bass:
The law says you have the right to hold a nigger, but begging the law's pardon... it lies. Is everything right because the law allows it? Suppose they'd pass a law taking away your liberty and making you a slave?
Edwin Epps:
Ha!
Bass:
Suppose!
Edwin Epps:
That ain't a supposable case.
Bass:
Because the law states that your liberties are undeniable? Because society deems it so? Laws change. Social systems crumble. Universal truths are constant. It is a fact, it is a plain fact that what is true and right is true and right for all. White and black alike.

12 Years a Slave - Confrontation Over Trust and Deceit
Edwin Epps: [Having awakened Solomon in the middle of the night, Epps coaxes him outside, puts his arm around him as if consoling a friend, and guides him into the woods]
Well, boy. I understand I've got a larned nigger that writes letters and tries to get white fellows to mail em. Well, Armsby tol me today the devil was among my niggers. That I had one that needed close watchin or he would run away. When I axed him why, he said you come over to him and waked him up in the middle of the night and wanted him to carry a letter to Marksville. What have yah got to say to that?
Solomon Northup:
There is no truth in it.
Edwin Epps:
You say.
Solomon Northup:
How could I write a letter without ink or paper? There is nobody I want to write to cause I hain't got no friends living as I know of. That Armsby is a lying drunken fellow. You know this, just as you know that I am constant in truth. Now, master, I can see what that Armsby is after, plain enough. Didn't he want you to hire him for an overseer? That's it. He wants to make you believe we're all going to run away and then he thinks you'll hire an overseer to watch us. He believes you are soft soap. He's given to such talk. I believe he's just made this story out of whole cloth, cause he wants to get a situation. It's all a lie, master, you may depend on't. It's all a lie.
Edwin Epps: [reveals a pocket knife he'd had pressed against Solomon's gut the entire time]

Erik, what a pleasant surprise. So good to see you again. May I ask you something? Why are you on their side? Why fight for a doomed race who will hunt us down as soon as they realize their reign is coming to an end? I'm sorry for what happened in the camps. I truly am. But everything I did, I did for you. To unlock your power. To make you embrace it. You've come a long way from bending gates. I'm so proud of you. And your just starting to scratch the surface. Think of how much further we could go, together. I don't want to hurt you, Erik. I never did. I want to help you. This is our time. Our age. We are the future of the human race. You and me, son. This world could be ours.

X-Men: First Class - The Key to a New Future

I want to see my mama.
Klaus Schmidt: [gestures to a small Nazi coin on the desk; Erik attempts to move the coin but fails]
Genes are the key that unlocks the door to a new age, Erik. A new future for mankind. Evolution. You know what I'm talking about? It's a simple thing I ask of you. A little coin is nothing compared to a big gate. Is it?
Erik Lehnsherr: [this displeases Schmidt]
I tried, Herr Doctor. I can't... I don't... It's impossible.
Klaus Schmidt: [rings bell to summon soldiers who come in with his mother]
The one thing I can say for the Nazis is their methods seem to produce results. I'm sorry, Erik.

Mama!

My darling. How are you?

Here's what we're going to do. I'm going to count to three... ...and you're going to move the coin. You don't move the coin, I pull the trigger. Understand? One.
Erik Lehnsherr: [he looks to his mother]
Mama.
Mrs. Lehnsherr:
You can do it.
Klaus Schmidt: [he grows impatient]
Two.
Mrs. Lehnsherr: [Erik concentrates even harder]
Everything is alright.
Klaus Schmidt: [he shoots and kills Erik's mother; trauma enrages Erik into crushing a small metal bell; sees Erik crush a metal filing cabinet; Erik loses control of his rage and crushes the soldiers' helmets on their heads before sending all metal objects across the room. Schmidt consoles him after he crises; he leaves the Nazi coin in Erik's hand and he leaves]
Three. Yes. Wonderful. Excellent. Outstanding, Erik. So we unlock your gift with anger. Anger and pain. You and me... we're going to have a lot of fun together.

300 - Defiance Against Persian Threat
Persian Emissary: [encountering a group of Greeks building a wall to hold off the Persians; Greeks ignore him; sees that the stone wall is partially made up of Persian corpses]
I am the emissary to the ruler of all the world, the god of gods, king of kings, and by that authority I demand that someone show me your commander! Listen. Do you think the paltry dozen you slew scare us? These hills swarm with our scouts! And do you think your pathetic wall will do anything other than fall like a heap of dry leaves in the face of...
Stelios:
Our ancestors built this wall, using ancient stones from the bosom of Greece herself. And with a little Spartan help, your Persian scouts provided the mortar.
Persian Emissary: [swings his whip to strike Stelios, who surges forward and cuts off his arm]
You will pay for your barbarism! My arm!
Stelios:
It's not yours anymore. Go now, run along and tell your Xerxes that he faces free men here, not slaves. Do it quickly, before we decide to make our wall just a little bit bigger.
Persian Emissary:
No, not slaves. Your women will be slaves. Your sons, your daughters, your elders will be slaves, but not you. By noon this day, you will all be dead men! The thousand nations of the Persian Empire descend upon you! Our arrows will blot out the sun!
Stelios: [grins]
Then we will fight in the shade.

X-Men: Days of Future Past - Embracing Power and Identity in Unity
Erik Lehnsherr:
You built these weapons to destroy us. Why? Because you are afraid of our gifts. Because we are different. Humanity has always feared that which is different, but I am here to tell you, to tell the world, you're right to fear us. We are the future. We are the ones who inherit this earth and anyone who stands in our way, will suffer the same fate as these men you see before you. Today was meant to be a display of your power. Instead I give you a glimpse of the devastation my race can unleash upon yours. Let this be a warning to the world and to my mutant brothers and sisters out there, I say this. No more hiding. No more suffering. You have lived in the shadows of shame and fear for too long. Come out. Join me. Fight together in a brotherhood of our kind, a new tomorrow that starts today.
Magneto: [Charles comforts him as the Sentinels begin using their energy beam to break through. Iceman tries to hold them off using his ice powers to barricade the door.]
All those years wasted fighting each other, Charles, to have a precious few of them back.

Inglourious Basterds - Tension Escalates in a High-Stakes Encounter
Hellstrom: [''In German''; ''Clicking sound'']
I must say, I grow weary of these monkeyshines. Did you hear that? That was the sound of my Walther. Pointed right at your testicles.
Lt. Archie Hicox:
Why do you have your Walther pointed at my testicles?
Hellstrom:
Because you've just given yourself away, Captain. You're no more German than that scotch.
Hicox:
Well, Major...
Bridget von Hammersmark:
Major...
Hellstrom:
Shut up, slut! You were saying?
Hicox:
I was saying that that makes two of us. I've had a gun pointed at your balls since you sat down.
Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz: [''thrusting his Walther into Hellstrom's crotch'']
That makes three of us. And at this range, I'm a real Frederick Zoller.
Hellstrom:
Looks like we have a bit of a sticky situation here.
Hicox:
What's going to happen, Major... you're going to stand up and walk out that door with us.
Hellstrom:
No, no, no, no, no, no. I don't think so. I'm afraid, you and I, we both know, Captain, no matter what happens to anybody else in this room the two of us aren't going anywhere. Too bad about Sergeant Wilhelm and his famous friends. If any of you expect to live, you'll have to shoot them too. Looks like little Max will grow up an orphan. How sad.
Hicox: [''In English''; [W:King's English|the King's]
Well, if this is it, old boy, I hope you don't mind if I go out speaking ].
Hellstrom: [''In English'']
By all means, Captain.
Hicox: [''drinks'']
There's a special ring in hell reserved for people who waste good scotch. Seeing as how I may be rapping on the door momentarily... I must say, damn good stuff, sir. Now, about this pickle we find ourselves in. It would appear there's only one thing left for you to do.
Hellstrom:
And what would that be?
Hicox:
Stiglitz...
Stiglitz:
Say "auf Wiedersehen" to your Nazi balls!
