97 quotesAmon Goeth's Frustration with the Situation
Amon Goeth
Can you believe this? As if I don't have enough to do, they come up with this? I have to find every rag buried up here and burn it. The party's over, Oskar. They're closing us down, sending everybody to Auschwitz … as soon as I can arrange the shipments, maybe 30, 40 days. That ought to be fun.

Debate on Acting Skills in Film Industry
Eddie Mannix
What's on your mind, Laurence?
Laurence Laurentz
Hobie Doyle cannot act!
Eddie Mannix
Hobart Doyle is one of the biggest movie stars in the world.
Laurence Laurentz
On horseback! But, this is a drama, Mannix, a real drama. It's an adaptation of a Broadway smash! it requires the skills of a trained thespian, not a rodeo clown.

Voldemort's Call to Confrontation and Consequences
Lord Voldemort
You have fought valiantly, but in vain. I do not wish this. Every drop of magical blood spilled is a terrible waste. I therefore command my forces to retreat. In their absence, dispose of your dead with dignity. Harry Potter, I now speak directly to you. On this night, you have allowed your friends to die for you, rather than face me yourself. There is no greater dishonor. Join me in the Forbidden Forest, and confront your fate. If you do not do this, I shall kill every last man, woman, and child who tries to conceal you from me.

Ambition and Accusations in Conclave
Tremblay
You should be careful, Thomas. Your own ambition has not gone unnoticed. This might be seen as a tactic to blacken the name of a rival.
Lawrence
Well that's a despicable accusation.
Tremblay
Is it? I wonder, if you really are so reluctant to have the chalice passed to you. I shall pretend this conversation never took place.

A Call to Protect the Grand Budapest
Zero
My dear and trusted colleagues...
[Reading a letter from M. Gustave]
M. Gustave
I miss you deeply as I write from the confines of my regrettable and preposterous incarceration. Until I walk amongst you again as a free man, the Grand Budapest remains in your hands, as does its impeccable reputation. Keep it spotless, and glorify it. Take extra-special care of every little bitty bit of it as if I were watching over you like a hawk with a horse-whip in its talons, because I am. Should I discover a lapse of any variety during my absence, I promise swift and merciless justice will descend upon you. A great and noble house has been placed under your protection. Tell Zero if you see any funny business.
Zero
Your devoted Monsieur Gustave.

Loneliness and Dehumanization in Amon Goeth's Words
Amon Goeth
I came to tell you that you really are a wonderful cook and a well-trained servant. I mean it. If you need a reference after the war, I'd be happy to give you one. It's kind of lonely down here, it seems, with everyone upstairs having such a good time. Does it? You can answer. "What was the right answer?" That's – that's what you're thinking. "What does he want to hear?" The truth, Helen, is always the right answer. Yes, you're right. Sometimes we're both lonely. Yes, I mean, I would like, so much, to reach out and touch you in your loneliness. What would that be like, I wonder? I mean, what would be wrong with that? I realize that you're not a person in the strictest sense of the word. Maybe you're right about that too. You know, maybe what's wrong isn't – it's not us – it's this. I mean, when they compare you to vermin and to rodents and to lice, I just, uh … you make a good point, a very good point. Is this the face of a rat? Are these the eyes of a rat? "Hath not a Jew eyes?" I feel for you, Helen. No, I don't think so. You're a Jewish bitch. You nearly talked me into it, didn't you?

The Role of a Lobby Boy
M. Gustave
What is a lobby boy? A lobby boy is completely invisible, yet always in sight. A lobby boy remembers what people hate. A lobby boy anticipates the client's needs before the needs are needed. A lobby boy is, above all, discreet to a fault. Our guests know that their deepest ], some of which are frankly rather unseemly, will go with us to our graves. So keep your mouth shut, Zero.

The Weight of Historical Memory
Amon Goeth
Today is history. Today will be remembered. Years from now the young will ask with wonder about this day. Today is history and you are part of it. Six hundred years ago when elsewhere they were footing the blame for the Black Death, Kazimierz the Great – so called – told the Jews they could come to Kraków. They came. They trundled their belongings into the city. They settled. They took hold. They prospered in business, science, education, the arts. They came with nothing. Nothing. And they flourished. For six centuries there has been a Jewish Kraków. Think about that. By this evening, those six centuries are a rumor. They never happened. Today is history.

[''To Eirik, with his eyepatch'']
Yuri

[''Referring to selection of firearms laid out on table'']
Harry
An UZI? Ha, I'm not from South Central Los fucking Angeles. I didn't come here to shoot twenty black ten-year olds in a fucking drive-by. I want a normal gun for a normal person.
Yuri
I knew he wouldn't kill the guy. I could see it in his eyes when I was telling him about the alcoves.
Harry
...about the what?
Yuri
The alcoves - the alcoves in the Koningin Astridpark. Oh, I also have some ]. You use this word, "dumdums"? The bullets that make the head explode?

Harry

Eirik
Motherfucker.
Harry
Is he talking to me?
Yuri
No, Eirik's on your side, Mr. Waters. Your young friend blinded him last night.
Harry
Ray did?
Eirik
I was trying to rob him. And he took my gun from me. And the gun was full of blanks. And he shot a blank into my eye. And now I cannot see from this eye ever again, the doctors say.
Harry
Well, to be honest, it sounds like it was all your fault.
Eirik
What!
Harry
I mean, basically, if you're robbing a man and you're only carrying blanks, and you allow your gun to be taken off you, and you allow yourself to be shot in the eye with a blank which I assume that the person has to get quite close to you then, yeah, really, it's all your fault for being such a poof. So why don't you stop whinging and cheer the fuck up.
Yuri
Eirik! I really wouldn't respond.
Eirik
I thought you wanted the guy dead?
Harry
I do want the guy dead, I want him fucking crucified. But it don't change the fact that he stitched you up like a blind little gay boy, does it? Thanks for the gun, Yuri.

Dolarhyde's Intriguing Perspective on Graham
Francis Dolarhyde
Investigator Graham interests me. Not your standard gumshoe, is he? More alert. Purposeful-looking. You should've taught him not to meddle. Forgive the stationary. I chose it because it will dissolve very quickly if you should have to swallow it. If I hear from you, next time, I might send you something wet. Until then, dear doctor, I remain your most avid fan.

Divisions Within a United Faith Community
Tedesco
Our new brother — did I hear correctly? Afghanistan?
[referring to Benitez, in English; switches to Italian]
Lawrence
Yes. A marvelous testament to the Universal Church, don't you think so? So many men of different cultures and races bound together by their faith in God.
[in Italian]
Tedesco
Look around you. Look how everyone gravitates close to their fellow countrymen. Italians all here. Spaniards there. Englishmen there. Frenchmen. Divided by language. When we were boys, and the Tridentine Mass was still the only true liturgy of the world, we would have all been speaking Latin. But then your liberal friends resolved to erase the Dead Language. Without Rome, without the tradition of Rome — .

How lies have fed your legend, Harry! Shall I reveal what really happened that night thirteen years ago? Shall I divulge how I truly lost my powers? Yes, shall I? It was love. You see, when dear, sweet Lily Potter gave her life for her only son, she provided the ultimate protection. I could not touch him. It was old magic. Something I should have foreseen. But no matter, no matter. Things have changed. I CAN TOUCH YOU... NOW! Astonishing what a few drops of your blood will do, eh, Harry?

They cast a spell on you, you know, the Jews. When you work closely with them like I do, you see this. They have this power, it's like a virus. Some of my men are infected with this virus.

A Connection Through Transformation and Misunderstanding
Francis Dolarhyde
: My dear Dr. Lecter: I wanted to tell you I'm delighted that you've taken an interest in me. And when I learned of your vast correspondence, I thought: "Dare I?" Of course I do. I don't believe you'll tell them who I am. Besides, what particular body I currently occupy is trivial. The important thing is what I am becoming. I know that you alone can understand this transformation. I have some things I'd love to show you. If circumstances permit, I hope we can correspond. I have admired you for years and have a complete collection of your press notices. Actually, I think of them as unfair reviews. As unfair as mine. They do like to sling demeaning nicknames, don't they? "The Tooth Fairy." What could be more inappropriate? It would shame me for you to read that, if I didn't know you had suffered the same distortions in the press.

A Plea Against Papal Nomination
Lawrence
The other night, you were kind enough to say that you had voted for me. Now, I don't know if you've continued to do so, but if you have, then I must repeat my plea to you to stop.
Benitez
Why?
Lawrence
Well, firstly, I lack the spiritual depth to be Pope. Secondly, I couldn't possibly win. A long, drawn-out Conclave would be seen by the media as proof that the Church is in crisis.
Benitez
You have come to ask me to vote for Cardinal Tremblay?
Lawrence
Yes, I have, and to urge your supporters to do the same.
Benitez
Cardinal Tremblay already spoke to me about this.
Lawrence
Oh, well, I'm sure he has.
Benitez
You want me to vote for a man you see as ambitious?
Lawrence
I do not want to see Tedesco as Pope. He would take your church back to... to an earlier era.
Benitez
I'm sorry, but I cannot vote for a man unless I deem him the most worthy to be Pope. And for me, that is not Tremblay. It's you.
Lawrence
I don't want your vote!

Benitez
Nevertheless... you have it.

Don't cry at me, you little faggot! Say it! Say it, or I will cut it off! Say, "I'm sorry, daddy, I'm a dirty little beast. Freak. Harelip. And no one will ever love me!

The Fragility of Time and Structure
Dr. Ian Kelson
Don't worry, no, it's-- It's not precious in that way. The structure is solid, but the bones will fall apart due to time or the elements or Spike's hand. The memento mori is... is actualized.

Confronting Suicidal Thoughts and Desperation
Harry
Well?
Ken
The boy's suicidal Harry. He's a walking dead man. Keeps going on about Hell and Purgatory -
Harry
When I phoned you yesterday, did I ask you Ken, would you do me a favor and become Ray's psychiatrist please? No. What I think what I asked you was "would you go blow his fucking head off for me?" "He's suicidal"? I'm suicidal, you're suicidal, everybody's fucking suicidal. We don't all keep going on about it. Has he killed himself yet? So he's not fucking suicidal, is he?
Ken
He put a loaded gun to his head this morning, I stopped him.
Harry
He... What? This gets fucking worse!
Ken
We were down the park...
Harry
Lemme get this right..."You were down the park"? What's that got to do with fucking anything? Let me get this right. Not only have you refused to kill the boy, you even stopped the boy from killing himself, which would've solved my problem, which would've solved your problem, which sounds like would've solved the boy's problem.
Ken
It wouldn't have solved his problem.
Harry
Ken, if I had killed a little kid, accidentally or otherwise, I wouldn't have thought twice. I'd killed myself on the fucking spot. On the fucking spot. I would've stuck the gun in me mouth on the fucking spot!
Ken
That's you, Harry. The boy has the capacity to change. The boy has the capacity to do something decent with his life.
Harry
Excuse me, Ken, I have the capacity to change.
Ken
Yeah, you do. You've the capacity to get fucking worse!
Harry
Ah yeah, now we're getting down to it!
Ken
Harry, let's face it. And I'm not being funny, I mean no disrespect, but you're a cunt. You're a cunt now, you've always been a cunt. And, the only thing that's gonna change is you're gonna become an even bigger cunt. Maybe have some more cunt kids.
Harry
Leave my kids fucking out of it! What have they done? You fucking retract that bit about my cunt fucking kids!
Ken
I retract that bit about your cunt fucking kids.
Harry
Insulting my fucking kids?! That's going overboard, mate!
Ken
I retracted it, didn't I! Still leaves you being a cunt...
[quietly]
Harry
Yeah, I fucking got that.

The Complexity of Money and Ambition
Dick Goodwin
Don't treat me like I'm a member of your goddamn fan club. Are you telling me everybody got the answers but you?
Charles Van Doren
You're so persistent, Dick. You know, I really envy you that.
Dick Goodwin
Was it just the money, Charlie?
Charles Van Doren
You'll forgive me, but anyone who thinks money is ever just money couldn't have much of it.
Dick Goodwin
Charlie, you want to insult me, fine; but you can't envy me at the same time.
Charles Van Doren
Jesus, Dick, if someone offered you all this money to be on some rigged quiz show, instant fame, the works, would you do it?
Dick Goodwin
No. Course not.
Charles Van Doren
No? Throw the whole thing in, the cover of Time, Dave Garroway, $50,000 a year to read poetry on television — would you do it?
Dick Goodwin
No.
Charles Van Doren
And I would?

Of course.
M. Gustave

Henckels
By order of the commissioner of police, Zubrowka Province, I hereby place you under arrest for the murder of Madame Celine Villenueve Desgoffe-und-Taxis.
M. Gustave
I knew there was something fishy. We never got the cause of death. She's been murdered, and you think I did it.

Bruges: A Fairytale Amidst Tension
Ken
Harry? It's Ken. Listen to this noise. Do you know what that is? Yeah, I know you know it's a train. Do you know what train? Well, it's a train that Ray just got on, and he's alive and he's well, and he doesn't know where he's going and neither do I. So if you need to do your worst, do your worst. You've got the address of the hotel. I'll be here waiting. Because I've got to quite like Bruges now. It's like a fucking fairytale or something.

Divine Powers and Human Insignificance
Hades
You were specks of dust beneath our fingernails. Your very breath is a gift from Olympus. You have insulted powers beyond your comprehension.
Queen Cassiopeia
Who are you?
Hades
I am Hades. Kneel.
Io
Not now, Perseus. You will have your chance.
Hades
What do you know of beauty? What is more beautiful than death? Gaze upon me, mortal queen.
Andromeda
Mother!
Draco
Princess!
Hades
In ten days, when the sun is eclipsed, I will unleash the Kraken. Argos will be swept from the earth, and all of you with it. Unless you sacrifice the princess you so foolishly compare to the gods. Only her blood will sate the Kraken and Zeus, who you have so offended. Choose your penance, Argos. Destruction or sacrifice. This is the will of Zeus. The will of your father.

Conclave Tensions: The Battle for Unity
Bellini
If we liberals are not united, Tedesco will become Pope. You have no idea how bad it became, Thomas. The way he and his circle attacked the Holy Father towards the end - the smears, the leaks to the press - it was savage. He fought him every single day of his pontificate, and now that he's dead, he wants to destroy his life's work. If Tedesco becomes Pope, he will undo sixty years of progress.
Lawrence
You talk as if you are the only alternative, but Adeyemi has the wind behind him.
Bellini
Adeyemi? Adeyemi, the man who believes that homosexuals should be sent to prison in this world and Hell in the next? Adeyemi's not the answer to anything, and you know it. If you want to defeat...
Lawrence
Defeat? This is a conclave, Aldo. It's not a war.
Bellini
It is a war. And you have to commit to a side.

Voldemort Challenges Harry to a Duel
Lord Voldemort
Pick up your wand, Potter! I said, pick it up! Get up! Get up! You've been taught how to duel, I presume, yes? First, we bow to each other. Come on now, Harry. The niceties must be observed. Dumbledore wouldn't want you to forget your manners, would he? I said, BOW! That's better, and now: Crucio! Crucio! Attaboy, Harry! Your parents would be proud. Especially your filthy Muggle mother!
[as he roughly releases the scythe; Harry gets his wand; he bows, Harry does not; uses a curse to make Harry bow; Harry writhes on the grass in pain; the curse is lifted]

Divine Rivalry and Human Affection
Hades
Argos is fallen. Do you feel stronger, brother? You thought the Kraken would bring you their prayers, but the Kraken is my child. It feeds only me.
Zeus
I command Olympus! Remember who you serve!
Hades
I serve myself! I have, since you cheated me. You sent me to the Underworld to be hated while you basked in their love.
Zeus
We need the love of humans.
Hades
No, you need it. I survive on their fear. Your reign is over, Brother Zeus. You'll watch while my blessed avenger devours their hopes and then finally, you'll know my pain.
Zeus
There is still a demigod in Argos, brother. Perseus...

Voldemort's View on Muggles and Bloodlines
Lord Voldemort
To those of you who do not know. We are joined tonight by Ms. Charity Burbage, who until recently, taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Her specialty was Muggle Studies. It is Ms. Burbage's belief that Muggles are not so different from us. She would, given her way, have us mate with them. To her, the mixture of magical and Muggle blood is not an abomination, but something to be encouraged.

Memories of a Different World
Dr. Ian Kelson
I remember details. Events and people. But what it was actually like to live with shops and fridges and telephones and personal computers? I have no real memory of that at all. That said, I do remember there was a sense of certainty. The world had a-- an order. A way about it. There were dramas and upheavals, inevitably, but the foundations... They seemed unshakable.

Divine Council Discusses Temple Desecration Response
Hermes
Zeus, you must bring an end to this. They've attacked our temples!
Poseidon
Now they dare to desecrate Zeus image!
Demeter
We could reach out to them!
Apollo
Accommodation could be made! A truce!
Zeus
No! I created them. And they reward my love with defiance? There will be no truce!
Hades
Finally, some rage from you. How long has it been? How long, brother, since you've seen my face?
Zeus
Hades.
Hades
Endless years I've watched from the Underworld and saw your wrath tempered with love. You created them for one reason, so their prayers would fuel our immortality. But you love them too well, they've grown strong. And now, I am forced to rise because we are all threatened.
Zeus
What do you want, brother?
Hades
Let me loose upon them. They will pray again and you will bathe in their awe and fear. And we will grow strong again.
Apollo
He belongs in the Underworld, not here!
Hades
You do not tell me where I belong. You said it is love that feeds us, but you depend on their love. I've only learned to live on their fear. Their pain.
Poseidon
Zeus? Our brother speaks the truth. Give it to him.
Zeus
Go, do what you will.
Apollo
Father, we need the mortals!
Zeus
No, Apollo. Hades is right. Their insolence are surprised. Like children, they need to be reminded of the order of things! Set an example, brother. Turn them on each other, and back into our arms.

The Weight of Responsibility in Combat Decisions
Max Denbigh
You can't really tell me that one man in the field can compete with all of this, running around out there with his license to kill.
M
Have you ever had to kill a man, Max? Have you? To pull that trigger, you have to be sure. Yes, you investigate, analyze, assess, target. And then you have to look him in the eye. And you make the call. And all the drones, bugs, cameras, transcripts, all the surveillance in the world can't tell you what to do next. A license to kill is also a license not to kill.

Proving Yourself in a Hostile Environment
Zero
What happened?
M. Gustave
What happened, my dear Zero, is I beat the living shit out of a sniveling little runt called Pinky Bandinski, who had the gall to question my virility. Because, if there's one thing we've learned from penny dreadfuls, it's that when you find yourself in a place like this, you must never be a candy ass; you've got to prove yourself from day one. You've got to win their respect. You should take a long look at HIS ugly mug this morning. He's actually become a dear friend. You'll meet him, I hope.

M
Poor taste in friends.
Max Denbigh
Take a look at the world. Chaos. Because people like you, paper-pushers and politicians, are too spineless to do what needs to be done. So I made an alliance to put the power where it should be, and now you want to throw it away for the sake of democracy, whatever the hell that is. How predictably moronic. But then, isn't that what M stands for? "{{W|moron (psychology)|Moron}}"?

He did no such thing. As Monsignor Morales, who was at the meeting...
