Simon Birch: Who knows what God thinks about current events?
Rev. Russell: Does someone have a question?
Ben Goodrich: Uh, no, sir - um, your honor, no,...Father, thank you. No, sir.
Rev. Russell: It's always nice to see new faces in the congregation. I'd like to invite them downstairs to join my wife and children, and myself for coffee and doughnuts downstairs after the service.

Bulworth - Concerns About Bulworth's Unconventional Campaign Strategy

Bulworth: What is it exactly you're concerned about, Murphy?
Dennis Murphy: I'm concerned that you stood up in front of three hundred people in a black church and told them that they were not a factor and never would be as long as we remain in the pocket of the insurance lobby! I'm concerned that you went to a fundraiser in Beverly Hills and told various leaders of the entertainment industry that they make a lousy product, and since many of them also happen to be Jewish, you decided the PRUDENT thing to do would be to MOCK their Jewish paranoia! I'm concerned that we are in an after-hours club in Compton on the eve of the most important event of the campaign swing, where God knows how much illegal activity is taking place and YOU are SMOKING MARIJUANA! Now, Senator - I work for you. You call the shots. But I will be able to do my job so much better if you will just simply tell me ... what is this new strategy? Just tell me a little bit!

Bicentennial Man - The Miracle of Love and Connection

Rupert Burns: What do they say? Andrew Martin: That you can lose yourself. Everything. All boundaries. All time. That two bodies can become so mixed up, that you don't know who's who or what's what. And just when the sweet confusion is so intense you think you're gonna die... you kind of do. Leaving you alone in your separate body, but the one you love is still there. That's a miracle. You can go to heaven and come back alive. You can go back anytime you want with the one you love. Rupert Burns: And you want to experience that? Andrew Martin: Oh, yes, please. Rupert Burns: So do I.

Lake Placid - Crocodiles as Judges in Ancient Malenesia

Kelly Scott: Did you want to be killed by it?
Hector Cyr: You think I'm that nuts?
Kelly Scott: Hector, what you just did, there had to be some sort of death wish going on.
Hector Cyr: In ancient Malenesia people suspected of crime's would be thrown to the crocodiles. Crocodiles would decide. They would be the judge.
Kelly Scott: Oh, so that was you wanting to be judged out there?
Hector Cyr: Maybe I was, and so what? Is that too arbitrary? Better to be measured by my wealth? Better for me to get my self-esteem looking into the eyes of cheap sycophants craving a meal ticket? There was more honesty in those dragon's eyes. There was more dignity in those dragon's eyes...

Flatliners - Exploring Hope and Fear in Flatliners

Randy Steckle: [while David Labraccio is flatlining] What is it that hangs in the air, palpably? Is it hope? Is it fear? Is it the musky mist of death?

Randy Steckle: No, you shut up.

Flatliners - Reflections on Fear and Immortality

Randy Steckle: [dictating a diary entry into his tape recorder; long pause] Halloween morning. Rotting pumpkins. Burning leaves. Black cats mating like rats in the alley. It was as if . . . it were as if we felt no fear, as if we were already dead and had nothing to lose by dying. Or perhaps it was because we had lived life so well, and loved life so much, that we fancied ourselves immortal, overwhelming the powers that be with the force of our passion for science. Or maybe we were just fucked in the head.

Flatliners - Ethics in Medical Education and Peer Relationships

Randy Steckle: [talking about the experiment] I did not come to medical school to murder my class mates no matter how deranged they might be.

The Three Musketeers - Conflict Timing Among the Musketeers

Porthos: Athos, you cannot fight this boy.
Athos: Why not?
Porthos: I'm fighting him.

Aramis: I have a duel with him, too.
D'Artagnan: Not until two o'clock.

The Three Musketeers - The Power of Words and Impressions

Aramis: [to Porthos] Only the wrong words are a complete waste of time. The right words can leave a more lasting impression than a thousand of Porthos kisses.
Barmaid: Not likely.
Aramis: [to barmaid; kisses Barmaid's hand] Shall I demonstrate? As morning hues of sunswept fire caress your passioned face, alone with thee a pure desire to worship untold grace. My soul would cry in silent prayer to an hour swept apart. Your essence warms the evening air as I dance into your heart.
D'Artagnan: Shakespeare.
Aramis: Aramis.
Porthos: Fleeting.
Barmaid: It was beautiful.
Aramis: [Barmaid gets up and kisses Aramis] Oh, thank you.

The Three Musketeers - Porthos' Humorous Take on Rochefort Cheese

The Three Musketeers - Embracing Arrogance and Boldness

2012 - Impending Impact Warning and Survival Urgency

Ark AI: Impact warning. Thirty degrees west. Forty-five degrees east. Target elevation, 29,035 feet.
Carl Anheuser: Twenty-nine thousand feet? What the hell is at 29,000 feet!?
Captain Michaels: [[w:Mount Everest|Mount Everest] We're headed straight for the north face of ], Mr. Anheuser and if we do not start our engines, we will not survive the impact.

2012 - The Challenge of Human Civilization

Adrian Helmsley: Ladies and gentlemen, this is Dr. Adrian Helmsley, chief science adviser to the late President Wilson.
German Chancellor: Could you please turn up the volume, Mr. Hoffmann?
Helmsley: I know we've all been forced to make difficult decisions to save our human civilization, but to be human means to care for each other and civilization means to work together to create a better life. If that's true, then there's nothing human and nothing civilized about what we're doing here.
Carl Anheuser: Dr. Helmsley's passion is admirable, but I will remind you that we have very limited resources and extremely limited time.
Helmsley: [glares at Anheuser] Ask yourselves, can we really stand by and watch these people die? I read a quote two days ago. The author is probably dead by now, but he said: "The moment we stop fighting for each other, that's the moment that we lose our humanity.
Anheuser: And in order to save the human race, we have an obligation to stick to this plan, which every nation on this flotilla has signed up for.
Helmsley: We have to let these people in-
Anheuser: [to comms officer] They're in God's hands now! Officer, you turn that off. That is an order, sailor! TURN IT OFF!
Professor West: [aims cane] Don't you dare touch that button, young man!
Anheuser: [points to countdown] Have you completely lost your mind?! LOOK AT THE CLOCK! WE HAVE BARELY 15 MINUTES LEFT! Do you wanna be responsible for the extinction of the human race? Can you handle that, Adrian?
Helmsley: There's a young astrophysicist from India who's the reason we're all here.
Anheuser: Oh, for God's sake.
Helmsley: [gets more emotional] He's the one who discovered it all. He connected all the dots. We all owe him our lives. I just learned that he was killed with his family in a tsunami in eastern India. He was my friend, and he died in vain. Everybody out there has died in vain if we start our future with an act of cruelty. What would you tell your children? What will they tell theirs?
Laura Wilson: If my father were here, he would open the gates.
Russian President: [looks to fellow heads of state] The people of Russia along with China and Japan, agree... to open the gates.
German Chancellor: The United Kingdom, Spain, France, Canada, Germany and I believe I may also speak for the Italian prime minister, we vote to let these people come in.
Helmsley: Captain Michaels. Please.
Capt. Michaels: [contemplates, then reaches for radio mike; crowd cheers] This is the captain. In a few moments, we will open the gates and get you people in. Please step back and clear the platform.

2012 - Discussion on Communication and Priorities

Carl Anheuser: [about Laura Wilson] She's a smart girl, she'll understand.
Adrian Helmsley: That thing in Paris, we're not involved in any of that, are we?
Anheuser: We"? Who's "we", what are you talking about? What we need to do is focus on the timeline.
Helmsley: So when do we let the country know?
Anheuser: What?
Helmsley: The people, sir. They need to know.
Anheuser: Well, of course they do. Listen, your job is to figure out when this is all gonna fall apart, my mission is to figure out how to retain some semblance of government after it falls apart, and until then, we don't have time for anything except for doing those jobs, okay? Now, you call me the moment you get any news from Yellowstone.
Helmsley: [turns to go] Yes, sir.
Anheuser: Cute girl, eh?
Helmsley: Sir?
Anheuser: The First Daughter. I saw you looking at her.
Helmsley: I wasn't looking at her.
Anheuser: Better move fast, kid. The end is near.
