Peter DinklageQuotes

James: You all right?

Mildred Hayes: I think I wanna go home now. Don't give me any shit, James. I'll do it another night, alright?

James: Why would I wanna do it another night, when you've been embarrassed to be here ever since we arrived.

Mildred Hayes: For Christ sake. I didn't force you to come on this date, alright? You forced me.

James: [tearfully; gets up from his seat, leaves the table] Forced you? I asked you on a date. Wow. You know, I know I'm not that much of a catch. I know I'm a dwarf who sells used cars and has a drinkin problem, I know that. But who the hell are you, ma'am? You're that billboard lady who never smiles, never has a good word to say about anybody, and who in evenin times set fuckin fire to police stations! And I'm the one whose not a catch.

Mildred Hayes: Hey.

James: [tearfully] You know, I didn't have to come and hold your ladder.

Dr. Simon Barsinister: The serum.

Cad: Doc, he's going through the door!

Barsinister: It works.

Dr. Simon Barsinister: I'll play your game, but it'll be a stretch. Can you resist this?

Dr. Simon Barsinister: You know what the saddest part is? You thought they loved you but they only loved the power that I gave you.

Dr. Simon Barsinister: ['''Shoeshine''': It's "Shoeshine".; '''Dan''': He can talk?] Shoeshine, isn't it? Or shall I address you by your nom de guerre, Underdog.

Dr. Simon Barsinister: After him!

Dr. Simon Barsinister: [repeated line] Simon says…

Dr. Simon Barsinister: It should be me on the front page, not that stupid mutt. I need a sample of his DNA. How do you look in a dress?

Dr. Simon Barsinister: Don't worry, it will only hurt a lot.

Dr. Simon Barsinister: It's OK. You all make mistakes. But I forgive you.That's the kind of person I am...humble.

Trumpkin: [after being saved by Peter] Drop him?! That's the best you can come up with?

Susan: A simple "thank you" would suffice.

Trumpkin: They were doing fine drowning me without your help.

Peter: Maybe we should have let them!

Lucy: Why were they trying to kill you anyway?

Trumpkin: They're Telmarines. That's what they do.

Edmund: Telmarines? In Narnia?

Trumpkin: Where have you been for the last few hundred years?

Lucy: It's a bit of a long story, actually.

Trumpkin: Oh, you have got to be kidding me... You're it? You're the kings and queens of old?

Peter Pevensie: High King Peter. The Magnificent.

Susan Pevensie: You probably could have left off that last bit.

Trumpkin: Probably.

Edmund Pevensie: [looking down a cliff over the water] Is there a way down?

Trumpkin: Yes. Falling.

Lucy Pevensie: I wish you'd all stop trying to act like grown-ups. I didn't think I saw him, I did see him.

Trumpkin: I am a grown-up.

Lucy Pevensie: It's so still.

Trumpkin: They're trees. What do you expect?

Lucy Pevensie: They used to dance.

Trumpkin: Wasn't long after you left that the Telmarines invaded. Those that survived retreated to the woods. And the trees... they retreat so deep into themselves that they haven't been heard from since.

Peter: It's only a matter of time. Miraz's men and war machines are on their way. That means those same men aren't protecting his castle.

Reepicheep: What do you propose we do, Your Majesty?

Peter: We need to get ready for it.

Caspian: To start planning for–

Peter: Our only hope is to strike them before they strike us.

Caspian: But that's crazy. No one has ever taken that castle.

Peter: There's always a first time.

Trumpkin: We'll have the element of surprise.

Caspian: But we have the advantage here!

Susan: [Peter looks at her disappointedly] If we dig in, we could probably hold them off indefinitely.

Trufflehunter: I, for one, feel safer underground.

Peter: Look, I appreciate what you've done here, but this isn't a fortress, it's a tomb.

Edmund: Yes, and if they're smart, the Telmarines will just wait and starve us out.

Squirrel: [Reepicheep looks at him and raises an eyebrow] We could collect nuts.

Reepicheep: [Everyone looks at him; the squirrel looks happy, until Reepicheep speaks, gesturing his arms on the words ''throw'' and ''Telmarines''] Yes– –and throw them at the Telmarines. Shut up! I think you know where I stand, sire.

Peter: [To Glenstorm] If I can get your troops in, can you handle the guards?

Glenstorm: Or die trying, my liege.

Lucy: That's what I'm worried about.

Peter: Sorry?

Lucy: Well, you're all acting like there's only two options: dying here or dying there.

Peter: I'm not sure you've really been listening, Lu.

Lucy: No, you're not listening. Or have you forgotten who really defeated the White Witch, Peter?

Peter: I think we've waited for Aslan long enough.

Dr. Bolivar Trask: [begins a slideshow presenting Sentinel schematics; the detector starts beeping] Good afternoon, everyone, hello, thank you all for coming. Congratulations on winning this war. Now, I know you all have hands to shake and photos to take downstairs so I will get right to the point. There is a new enemy out there; an enemy that will render your arsenals useless, your armies powerless and your nations defenseless. You'll need a new weapon for this war. I call them Sentinels', named after the ancient guardians who stood at the gates of the citadel. They have the aeronautic capabilities of a Harrier jet, armed with guns that can fire off more than two thousand rounds of thermoceramic ammunition per minute. But size, power, speed- you could find that at Lockheed or Boeing. No, what makes the Sentinels so special is the ability to target the mutant X-gene. A genetic guidance system that can lock onto a mark half a mile away and won't trigger unless it has identified the target. With this weapon, there will be no human collateral damage. If I turn it on, the system couldn't even activate in here ...unless there's a mutant.

General Nhuan: There has to be some kind of mistake.

Trask: My machines don't make mistakes. What are you?

Senator Brickman: We are reviewing our defense expenditures, and all the black books are being opened. We can't support a weapon that targets our own citizens. If these Mutants as you describe are already living among us, then they are living here peacefully.

Senator Parker: We haven't had an incident in over ten years.

Senator Davis: [[w:X-Men: First Class|After what happened in Cuba!] ]

Parker: [Addressing Trask] It was never confirmed. We have very real enemies out there. The Russians, the Chinese.

Brickman: We are talking about a tenth of a tenth of a tenth of our population.

Dr. Bolivar Trask: Allow me to read something to you.

Brickman: Please.

Trask: [Opening a folder; Closes the folder] This was acquired from our friends in the CIA. It's a dissertation written by a mutant at Oxford University and I quote: "To Homo Neanderthalensis, his mutant cousin: Homo Sapiens," which is us, "was an aberration. The arrival of the mutated human species, Homo Sapiens, was followed by the immediate extinction of their less evolved kin." Well, now we are the Neanderthal.

Brickman: [Members of Congress laugh quietly] Speak for yourself, Dr. Trask.

Trask: You know, when you sent our soldiers to Vietnam without the weapons they needed to win the war, you underestimated your enemy. You do that with this enemy and it won't be some border skirmish halfway around the world. This time, the war will be for our streets, our cities, our homes. By the time you see the need for my program, it'll be too late and you'll have lost two wars in one lifetime.

Brickman: We're sorry Dr. Trask, but your Sentinel Program... it ain't gonna fly!
