Michael Sheen Quotes

Lucian (About his collar) Not if I can remove this. (Shows her a key) I made it myself, this will be my freedom.

Richard Nixon Look, when you're in office, you gotta do a lot of things sometimes that are not always, in the strictest sense of the law, legal, but you do them because they're in the greater interests of the nation!

David Frost Right. Wait. Just so I understand correctly, are you really saying that in certain situations, the president can decide whether it's in the best interests of the nation and then do something illegal?

Richard Nixon I'm saying, that when the President does it, that means it's not illegal!

David Frost ...I'm sorry?

Richard Nixon That's what I believe. But I realize... no one else shares that view.

HM Queen Elizabeth II Have we shown you how to start a nuclear war yet?

Tony Blair Er, no.

HM Queen Elizabeth II First thing we do apparently, we take away your passport and spend the rest of our time sending you around the world.

Tony Blair You obviously know my job better than I do.

HM Queen Elizabeth II Yes, well, you are my tenth Prime Minister, Mr Blair. My first, of course, was ]. He sat in your chair in a frock coat and top hat. And he was kind enough to give a shy young girl like me quite an education.

Tony Blair I would imagine.

HM Queen Elizabeth II In time, one has added experience to that education and a little wisdom, better enabling us to carry out our constitutional responsibilities to advise, guide and warn the government of the day.

Tony Blair Advice which I look forward to receiving.

Lucian (Grabs Xristo by the throat) Death Dealers will undoubtly be on the hunt. And they will eventually find us. But not by her doing. I trust Sonja with my life, and as long as I'm in command, so will you. (releases Xristo and walks off)

Tony Blair That woman has given her whole life in service to her people. Fifty years doing a job she never wanted! A job she watched kill ]. She's executed it with honor, dignity and, as far as I can tell, without a single blemish, and now we're all baying for her blood! All because she's struggling to lead the world in mourning for someone who... who threw everything she offered back in her face and who, for the last few years, seemed committed 24/7 to destroying everything she holds most dear!

Lucian Sonja, if I were to leave from this place, would you come with me?

Lucian (To Raze, about Sonja) I will not let her die alone.

Lucian We were slaves once. The daylight guardians of the Vampires. I was born into servitude. Yet I harbored them no ill will. Even took a Vampire for my bride. It was forbidden, our union. Viktor feared a blending of the species. Feared it so much he killed her. His own daughter... Burnt alive for loving me. This is his war - Viktor's, and he's spent the last 600 years exterminating my species.

Lucian Not at all. They're mindless Beasts, Milord. No Brethren of Mine.

Lucian He wants to use you for his own protection.

Lucian (To the council after Sonja has been sentenced to death) I'll kill you! ALL OF YOU!

Lucian Were you not afraid of them?

Lucian (To Viktor) You gave me chains!

Lucian (To his fellow lycans, after stopping two from fighting) We, are not animals. Is this want you want? To be their entertainment? Their playthings? Their pets!? Cowering beneath the whip, and then fighting amongst ourselves! Is this want you want!? I've lived by their rules my entire life. I've protected them. Envied them. And for what? To be treated like an animal. WE ARE NOT ANIMALS! We do have a choice! We can choose to be more than this! We can be slaves, OR WE CAN BE... LYCANS!

Lucian You're acting like a pack of rabid DOGS! And that, gentlemen, simply will not do. Not if you expect to defeat the Vampires on their own ground. Not if you expect to survive at all. Pierce! Taylor! Put some clothes on, will you?

Lucian (Senses the approaching presense of Werewolves) Get your men out there, now.

Lucian Well, that need not happen. Come sunrise, I leave this place. Anyone willing to take the risk may follow. There's a new life waiting beyond those walls, my friend, and you can be apart of it. With us.

Richard Nixon You know those parties of yours, the ones I read about in the newspapers. Do you actually enjoy those?

David Frost Of course.

Richard Nixon You have no idea how fortunate that makes you, liking people. Being liked. Having that facility. That lightness, that charm. I don't have it, I never did. It kind of makes you wonder why I chose a life that hinged on being liked. I'm better suited to a life of thought, debate, intellectual discipline. Maybe we got it wrong. Maybe you should have been a politician and I the rigorous interviewer.

David Frost Maybe.

Lucian (Thoughtfully, about the Werewolves obaying him.) Yes. Yes they did.

Lucian There too many of them.

Lucian (Referring to a battle with werewolves created from William) I saw what you did out there. Very brave for a human. Have you come across them before?

Lucian Are you afraid of me?

Lucian You may have killed me, cousin, but my will is done, regardless!

Lucian Is that your answer then? You will not come with me, so you want me to stay here for you? Like this? Like an animal?

Lucian I've lived by their rules my entire life. I've protected them. envied them. and for what? To be treated like an animal. We are not animals! Is this want you want? We can be slaves, or we can be... LYCANS!

Lucian Let me tell you something my friend, they only followed me at the idea at being free. You can hold them together until I get back, and lead them if I do not.

Lucian (To Raze, about the battle) No. It is just beginning.

Lucian (To Viktor, about Sonja) I loved her!

Lucian No. A Lycan, yes, but not like them. Those you fought with tonight were animals. The Spawn of William. Pure-bloods, if you will. No trace of human left. Savage, mindless beasts. As it has been told...

Lord Oliver I'm at war with the French, as well as the Scottish. Have I forgotten anyone? The Spaniards, am I at war with them?

Lucian Yes, you should have. (stabs Viktor through the head with a sword) But you didn't!

Richard Nixon That's our tragedy, isn't it, Mr. Frost? No matter how high we get, they still look down at us.

David Frost I really don't know what you're talking about.

Richard Nixon Yes, you do. Now come on. No matter how many awards or column inches are written about you, or how high the elected office is for me, it's still not enough. We still feel like the little man, the loser they told us we were a hundred times. The smartasses in college, the high-ups, the well-born. The people whose respect we really wanted, really craved. And isn't that why we work so hard now, why we fight for every inch? Scrambling our way up in undignified fashion. If we're honest for a minute, if we reflect privately, just for a moment, if we allow ourselves a glimpse into that shadowy place we call our soul, isn't that why we're here, now? The two of us. Looking for a way back into the sun, into the limelight. Back onto the winner's podium, because we could feel it slipping away. We were headed, both of us, for the dirt. The place the snobs always told us that we'd end up. Face in the dust, humiliated all the more for having tried so pitifully hard. Well, to hell with that! We're not gonna let that happen, either of us. We're gonna show those bums! We're gonna make em choke on our continued success, our continued headlines, our continued awards and power and glory! We are gonna make those motherfuckers CHOKE!... Am I right?

David Frost You are... Except only one of us can win.

Richard Nixon Yes. And I shall be your fiercest adversary. I shall come at you with everything I've got. Because the limelight can only shine on one of us. And for the other, it'll be the wilderness, with nothing and no one for company but those voices ringing in our head... You can probably tell I've had a drink. It's not too many, just one or two. But you believe me, when the time comes, I'm gonna be focused and ready for battle.

Lucian Well, do not be. I will not bite... much.

Lord Oliver Who speaks for you?

Marek I do, my lord.

Lord Oliver You speak strangely.

Marek Yes. We are Scottish, my lord.

Lord Oliver Scottish? (in Scottish accent) You've come to kill us all in our beds, eh? (goes back to original English accent) First the old man and now this group. Why do the Scottish find this village so pleasing?

Lucian Vampire and Lycan, we are both Children of Corvinus'. Yet my kind are slaves. I will use this one day. And I will leave this place. But I can never be without you.

Aro Ah. It's from Carlisle. Which is spelt with an "S", Sweet Bianca.

Aro He's added a new member to his coven.

Marcus Ah.

Caius Increasing his power. Hm!

Aro First it's the spelling, then the grammar.

Marcus At least our dispute with the Cullens is over.

Aro Over?

Marcus Mmm.

Aro Goodness, no. Our dispute goes far beyond the fate of a mere human.

Caius And what might it be?

Aro Why, brother, I thought you understood... They have something I want.
