Peter Dinklage Quotes

Dr. Simon Barsinister After him!

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 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 You know, I didn't have to come and hold your ladder.

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 ]

Parker 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 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 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!

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 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 We could collect nuts.

Reepicheep Yes– –and throw them at the Telmarines. Shut up! I think you know where I stand, sire.

Peter 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.

Trumpkin 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.

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.

Dr. Bolivar Trask 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?

Dr. Simon Barsinister The serum.

Cad Doc, he's going through the door!

Barsinister It works.

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

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

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

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.

Edmund Pevensie Is there a way down?

Trumpkin Yes. Falling.

Dr. Simon Barsinister Shoeshine, isn't it? Or shall I address you by your nom de guerre, Underdog.
