The Sundowners - The Journey Beyond Familiarity
Sean Carmody:
Gee, it's gonna be fun. This is the first time I've ever been away from home.
Shearer:
What, with your mom and dad not fifty yards outside that window, and you call that being away from home?
Rupert Venneker:
Certainly. Being out in the world is a state of mind, not of geography. The distance between that tent and this bunker is the longest journey you will ever make in your life.

The Sundowners - Sailing Skills and Family Banter
Sean Carmody: [on hearing Venneker had been a ship's captain]
Why'd you leave?
Rupert Venneker:
My stomach. I was a notoriously bad sailor.
Sean Carmody:
Dad says you must have been a better sailor than you are a horseman.
Rupert Venneker:
What the devil is he talking about? I was cashiered from the 17th Lancers before he knew one end of a horse from the other! NOT that he does now! Hah!
Sean Carmody:
What does cashiered mean?
Rupert Venneker:
Uh - kind of promotion from the army into civilian life.

The Sundowners - A Disagreement Over Attire and Respect
Paddy Carmody:
Do me a favor, will you? If you're gonna be a drover, look like a drover. Get rid of that silly flaming hat.
Rupert Venneker:
Let me tell you about this silly flaming hat, my good man.
Paddy Carmody:
And don't call me that. I'm not your good man.
Rupert Venneker:
Would you prefer boss?
Paddy Carmody:
Wouldn't be a bad idea.
Rupert Venneker:
This cap belonged to a ship's master in the China trade.
Paddy Carmody:
Oh, what happened to him?
Rupert Venneker:
Nothing happened to him. He's just not going to call you boss, that's all.

Logan's Run - The Complexity of Naming Cats
Old Man:
You know, they've each got three names. Yes. The naming of cats is a difficult matter, It's just not one of your holiday games; You may think at first that I am mad as a hatter, When I tell you that each cat's got three different names. See, they got their ordinary name and then they got their fancy name. And that makes two names, doesn't it? And now it's got a third name. Can either of you two guess what that third name is? (beat) Come on! (beat) Above and beyond, there's one name that's left over, and this is the name you never will guess. The name that no human research can discover, but the cat itself knows, and never will confess.

Lorenzo's Oil - A Call for Courage in Adversity
Michaela Odone:
The life of one boy is not enough reward for you to risk the reputation of the institution and the esteem of your peers.
Professor Nikolais:
That was uncalled for. Your responsibility is merely towards your own child. My responsibility is towards all the boys that suffer from this disease, now and in the future. Of course I anguish for the suffering of your boy. And of course I applaud you for the efforts you make on his behalf. But I will have nothing to do with this oil.
Michaela Odone:
We are not asking, Doctor, for your anguish or your applause. We are asking merely for a little courage.

Lorenzo's Oil - Questioning the Effectiveness of Dietary Changes
Augusto Odone:
Dr. Nikolais, what about the other boys, what results are you seeing in them?
Professor Nikolais:
As with Lorenzo, it's too early to tell. We need the study to run for the full six months.
Augusto Odone:
And that would tell you what is obvious right now? That avoiding apple skins and pizza has no effect on this brutal disease?

Lorenzo's Oil - The Overlooked Tragedy of Orphan Diseases
Professor Nikolais: [[w:Reaganomics|Reaganomics]
Do you know how many children die every year from choking on french fries? Many more than from Adrenoleukodystrophy. You see, ours is what is known as an orphan disease, too small to be noticed, too small to be funded, especially with the iron hand of "]".
