Oz the Great and Powerful - Confrontation Over Belief in the Wizard

Theodora: [Laughing; flies into the city on her broom, causing the citizens to jump aside in fright; she lands in front of Glinda, stares at her for a moment, then kneels so that they are eye-to-eye] OUT OF MY WAY! Give up, Glinda. Why do you continue to resist?
Glinda: Because I believe in the Wizard.
Theodora: [her face darkens with rage; stands up, pointing to Oz's balloon full of stolen gold, rising over the city] So did I, once. Behold. LOOK! Your Wizard!
Citizen 1: Where is he going?
Citizen 2: [sadly] He's abandoning us!
Citizen 3: [sadly] How could he?
Glinda: No!
China Girl: [starts to cry] No!
Evanora: [mockingly] Ohh...Not so Great and Powerful, after all.
Oz: [in Winkie voice; Finley looks up, and the Winkie pulls back the brim of his helmet to reveal Oz, grinning] Hey. Hello, Monkey.
Finley: [beams, hugs him] Oz! I thought you were dead-
Oz: Shh...You were crying pretty hard - was that for me?
Finley: Oh...no, some of the smoke got in my eyes!
Oz: [laughs] Oh, right.
Finley: Wow, you fooled everybody - That was your greatest trick yet!
Oz: [grins] That was just the opening act.
Evanora: [to the Citizens; Oz and Finley glance nervously in her direction as she and Theodora step forward on either side of Glinda] Let this be the final word! Your prophecy is dead. Like the king who spoke it, and the wizard who tried to fulfill it! All dead!
Oz: [to Finley; leads him towards the projection-booth carriage, where the Master Tinker and Knuck are beckoning them] It's showtime.
Theodora: [to the Citizens; the citizens watch sadly as Theodora and Evanora close on Glinda] And they will be joined in death, by Glinda the Good! Farewell.
Evanora: [she and Theodora conjure green lightning and red flames, respectively, and begin charging up their magical energies for the killing blow] Say hello to your daddy for me.
Glinda: The dreams of the people live on.
Oz: [thunderously] Fear me not, good people of Oz! Fear me not! For it is I: the great and powerful Wizard of Oz!
Evanora: More tricks?! After everything?! How dare you defy us?!
Oz: [thunderously; the citizens cheer] Dare"?! How dare you, wicked sisters?! No-one defies Oz!

Evanora: Guards! Come back here in an instant!
Oz: [thunderously] You thought you could kill me?! Me?! Thanks to you, I have shed my mortal shell and taken my true ethereal form. I am now more powerful than ever! I am invincible! You still doubt me?!
Theodora: [throws a fireball; Finley pulls a lever; Oz's image fades] Doubt you? I defy you! .
Evanora: Beautifully done, sister.
Theodora: Thank you.
Finley: Hurry! You're taking too much time!
Oz: Hold… hold…
Finley: They think they're winning!
Oz: Put it back on!
Oz: What're you doing? Put it back on!
Tinker: Loose wire. Screw's stuck!
Oz: [gives him a tool] Hold on! Use this!
Tinker: Got it.
Oz: Great.
Theodora: This can't be!
Oz: [laughs, then thunderously; the citizens cheer; [stars] You cannot defeat me! I am immortal! I am the great and powerful Wizard of Oz! Now, witness and observe, as I unleash the ]! Behold!

Oz the Great and Powerful - Sisterly Rivalry and Heartfelt Emotions

Evanora: What's the matter, sister?
Theodora: [jealously] Look at how happy they all are. Do you think she'll be his Queen?
Evanora: Well, of course she'll be his Queen. You can't compete with Glinda's charms - no one can.
Theodora: [cries, her tears leaving burn scars on her face] Sister, it hurts!
Evanora: Such is a broken heart - your precious "wizard" did that to you.
Theodora: [turns to her] Make it stop.
Evanora: [Theodora pauses; dissolve to Evanora offering her an enchanted green apple; seeing Theodora's hesitation] Would you like me to? One bite is all it takes. One bite, and your world will change forever. One bite, and your heart will become impenetrable. One bite, and you and I will finally share the throne. Unless you'd rather see Oz and Glinda there?
Theodora: [stares up at her sister; Evanora smirks, victorious] ...You're the wicked one - not Glinda! Sister, you lied to me!
Evanora: It's nice, isn't it? How clear everything becomes.
Theodora: [begins convulsing with pain and gasping for breath; tearing off her cloak and necklace, she staggers across the room] What is happening to me?!
Evanora: [chuckling; Theodora stumbles across the room, hallucinating about Oz laughing, and collapses behind a table; the fire blazes high. Evanora steps cautiously towards her; shrieks and recoils as Theodora's hand, now clawed and green-skinned, shoots up and grabs the table. Evanora appears startled as Theodora - still unseen - stands up, casting a menacing silhouette on the wall; smiles weakly] Oh. It's just your heart withering away. Fear not, Theodora, for soon you will feel nothing at all, except...beautiful wickedness. Sister? Oh, sister, you're hideous. I can cast a simple enchantment, and have you looking just the way you were before.
Theodora: [flips her wide-brimmed red hat inside out, revealing a black witch's hat; cackling] No! This is who I am now. I want him to see me like this. I want him to know that he was the one who made me this way.
Evanora: [to herself] Oh, dear.

Oz the Great and Powerful - Questioning Promises of Power and Love

Theodora: [tricked by Evanora into thinking Oz has "betrayed" her for Glinda] He said we would rule Oz, together...He said I would be his Queen.

Oz the Great and Powerful - Doubt and Loyalty in the Wizard's Arrival

Theodora: Isn't he wonderful? Didn't I say he would come?
Evanora: [angrily] You dare escort that...oaf in here and and allow him to climb on the hallowed throne?
Theodora: And why not? He is the wizard.
Evanora: The wizard, or so he says. Did it not ever occur to you that he might be an impostor in league with the Wicked Witch and sent here to kill us?
Theodora: Wicked Witch? Don't be ridiculous.
Evanora: [pauses; Theodora looks at her in surprise] Oh, I'm not the one who is underestimating her cleverness. Or maybe it is you that I am underestimating. Have you finally joined her side, sister?
Theodora: I am on no one's side. You know that. I simply want peace, that's all I ever wanted and the wizard can do that. He's a good man.
Evanora: What do you know about goodness? Deep down, you are wicked.
Theodora: [furiously; in her rage, she throws a fireball at a vase. She recoils] I'm not WICKED!!!
Evanora: That temper really is wasted on you, isn't it?

Queen Anne: I wish you could love me as she does!

Lady Sarah: Because I will not lie! That is love!

The Lobster - Comparing the Severity of Punishments

Short Sighted Woman: Some punishments are worse than other punishments. Having your thumb cut is worse than having your head shaved.

The Lobster - Developing a Secret Communication Code

Short Sighted Woman: We developed a code so that we can communicate with each other even in front of the others without them knowing what we are saying. When we turn our heads to the left it means "I love you more than anything in the world" and when we turn our heads to the right it means "watch out, we're in danger". We had to be very careful in the beginning not to mix up "I love you more than anything in the world" with "watch out, we're in danger". When we raise our left arm it means "I want to dance in your arms", when we make a fist and put it behind our backs it means "let's fuck". The code grew and grew as time went by and within a few weeks we could talk about almost anything without even opening our mouths.

Yelena Belova: I didn't say anything, that's not fair!
