Walk the Line - Family Tensions and Past Regrets
Johnny Cash:
I'm really glad y'all could be here today, especially you, daddy, glad you came. Not everybody's here. Jack's not here is he, huh? Where have you been? That's what you said to me, remember? I was twelve years old and he got Jack's bloody clothes, and he says to me "Where have you been?
Ray Cash:
Well, where were you?
Johnny Cash:
Where were you?
Ray Cash:
I quit drinkin a long time ago, J.R. What about you, still takin them pills? They'll kill you, you know?
Johnny Cash:

Ray Cash:
You're sittin on a high horse, boy. I never had talent, I did the best I could with what I had. Can you say that? Mister big shot, mister pill poppin rock star. Who are you to judge, you ain't got nothin', big empty house, nothin', children you don't see, nothin', big ol expensive tractor stuck in the mud, nothin'.

Flags of Our Fathers - Tensions Rise Amidst Military Strategy Discussions
U.S. Marines: [''first lines'']
Corpsman! Corpsman! Corpsman! Corpsman! For God sakes, corpsman! Corpsman! Corpsman!
General "Howlin Mad" Smith: [''on the telephone'']
I was promised ten days of shelling. You're giving me three and saying that's the best you can do?... I don't give a shit! My men hit that beach with less than ten, and I'll be taking them home to their mamas in buckets!... Yeah, I know exactly why. Because every Navy man with scrambled egg on his chest wants to offload us here and sail to Japan so they can be there for the big finish, tell their kids they captured the Emperor all by themselves. Well, you aren't going to Japan unless we take this piece of shit island! These little pricks are dug in... Okay, appreciate that, Jim. Three days is a fucking beautiful thing.
President Harry S. Truman:
Being an Indian, you are a truer American than any of us. Bet your people are proud to see you wear that uniform.
Colonel Chandler Johnson:
Our target, Island X, is an ugly, smelly, dirty little scab of rock called Iwo Jima. It means "Sulfur Island," which accounts for the smell. Looks sort of like a burnt pork chop if you ask me. After twenty straight days of bombing, you won't find a blade of grass or a twig on it. It wasn't that pretty to start with.
James Bradley: [last lines]
I finally came to the conclusion that he maybe he was right. Maybe there's no such thing as heroes. Maybe there are just people like my dad. I finally came to understand why they were so uncomfortable being called heroes. Heroes are something we create, something we need. It's a way for us to understand what's almost incomprehensible, how people could sacrifice so much for us, but for my dad and these men, the risks they took, the wounds they suffered, they did that for their buddies. They may have fought for their country but they died for their friends. For the man in front, for the man beside him, and if we wish to truly honor these men we should remember them the way they really were, the way my dad remembered them.
