Echoes of Life and Death

Fratres! Three weeks from now I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so. Hold the line. Stay with me.

Krypton's Impending Doom and Possible Escape
Jor-El
Will you not understand? Krypton's core is collapsing. We may only have a matter of weeks. I warned you, harvesting the core was suicide. It has accelerated the process of implosion.
Lor-Em
Our energy reserves were exhausted. What would you have us do, El?
Jor-El
Look to the stars, like our ancestors did. There are habitable worlds within reach. We can begin by using the old outposts.
Ro-Zar
Are you seriously suggesting that we evacuate the entire planet?
Jor-El
No, everybody here is already dead! Give me control of the Codex. I will ensure the survival of our race. There is still hope. I have held that hope in my hands.
General Zod
This council has been disbanded!
Ro-Zar
On whose authority?
General Zod
Mine.
General Zod
The rest of you will be tried and punished accordingly.
Jor-El
What are you doing, Zod? This is madness!
General Zod
What I should have done years ago. These lawmakers with their endless debates have led Krypton to ruin.
Jor-El
And if your forces prevail, you'll be the leader of nothing!
General Zod
Then join me. Help me save our race. We'll start anew. We'll sever the degenerative bloodlines that led us to this state.
Jor-El
And who will decide which bloodlines survive, Zod? You?
General Zod
Don't do this, El. The last thing I want is for us to be enemies.
Jor-El
You have abandoned the principles that bound us together. You've taken up the sword against your own people. I will honor the man you once were, Zod. Not this monster you have become.

A Bible and a Mother's Absence
Ben Wade
You ever read the Bible, Dan? I read it one time. I was eight years old. My daddy just got hisself killed over a shot of whiskey, and my mama said, "We're going back East to start over." So she gave me a Bible, sat me down in the train station, told me to read it. She was gonna get our tickets. Well, I did what she said. I read that Bible from cover to cover. It took me three days. She never came back.

Confrontation Over Morality and Violence
Ben Wade
Byron's like a song with one note. You ever read another book in your life, Byron, besides the Bible?
Byron McElroy
No need.
Ben Wade
Byron acts pious. Few years ago, when he was under contract to Central, I seen him and a bunch of other Pinks mow down 32 Apache women and children.
Byron McElroy
Renegades... gunning down railroad men and their families. Picking em off the road one by one. Scalping em.
Ben Wade
There was young ones running around crying and screaming. No more than three years old. And his boys shot em all then pushed em into a ditch. Some of them was still crying. But I guess Byron figured that Jesus wouldn't mind. Apparently Jesus don't like the Apache.
Byron McElroy
Keep on talking... all the way to Yuma, right up them steps, to the rope, straight to Hell.
Ben Wade
Day I die, Byron, I'm getting sprung from Hell.

So you're saying the filming was a fake, that's your defence?
Hermann Göring
What would you have me say?
Douglas Kelley

Hermann Göring
Why? So you can run and tell Jackson. My friend, your hypocrisy is stunning.
Douglas Kelley
My hypocrisy?
Hermann Göring
You think American bullets and bombs don't kill people?! You vaporised ]. And you presume to stand in judgment on me for war crimes.
[[Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki|150,000 Japanese at the touch of a button]

We had every right to defend ourselves.
Hermann Göring
How do you defend yourself on someone else's soil?!

Douglas Kelley
Not what I saw today.

[[Russian; [Genghis Khan; [Alexander the Great]
Douglas Kelley
You're not Alexander the Great! You are a fat man in a cell. And you knew.
Hermann Göring
I have made a mistake. You are not destined for more. You will have an unhappy life, I think. It will all be overshadowed by this. By the time spent with me. You will write your volumes trying to relive it. The one moment in your life when you actually stood with greatness.
Douglas Kelley
You think you're a great man? You think that that's your legacy?
[short pause]
Hermann Göring
At least I will have one. You will leave no mark on this world. I am the book! You are merely a footnote.
Douglas Kelley
They're gonna kill you! They're gonna hang you by the neck till you piss yourself and die. Your wife will be a widow. Your daughter will be an orphan. And you will have done that to yourself.

Lara, listen to me, the Codex is Krypton's future. Abort the launch!

Maximus
You would fight me?
Commodus
Why not? Do you think I am afraid?
Maximus
I think you've been afraid all your life.
Commodus
Unlike Maximus the invincible, who knows no fear?
Maximus
I knew a man once who said, Death smiles at us all. All that man can do is smile back.
Commodus
I wonder, did your friend smile at his own death?
Maximus
You must know. He was your father.
Commodus
You loved my father, I know. But so did I. That makes us brothers, doesn't it? Smile for me now, brother! Strap on his armour. Conceal the wound.

The Birth of a National Socialist
Hermann Göring
The first time I saw ] talk, it was uh... 1922, upstairs of a coffee shop, for maybe 30 people. This was peacetime, but it was a peace without food, jobs, shoes. And he stood up and he said "French bellies are being filled with German pain." And then, "If you make threats, you need bayonets. Rearm! Down this Versailles!" So that night, I became a National Socialist.

Understanding the Modern Enemy's Tactics
Ed Hoffman
Our enemy has realized that they are fighting guys from the future. Now, ahem, it is as brilliant as it is infuriating. If you live like it's the past, and you behave like it's the past then guys from the future find it very hard to see you. If you throw away your cell phone, shut down your e-mail pass all your instructions face-to-face, hand-to-hand turn your back on technology and just disappear into the crowd No flags. No uniforms. You got your basic grunts on the ground there. They're looking going, "Who is it we're fighting?" In a situation like this, your friends dress just like your enemies and your enemies dress like your friends. What I need you to fully understand is that these people, they do not wanna negotiate. Not at all. They want the universal caliphate established across the face of the Earth and they want every infidel converted or dead.

The Story of Creation and Its Consequences
Noah
Let me tell you a story. The first story my father told me, and the first story that I told each of you. In the beginning, there was nothing. Nothing but the silence of an infinite darkness. But the breath of the Creator fluttered against the face of the void, whispering "Let there be light." And light was, and it was good. The first day. And then the formless light began to take on substance and shape. A second day. And our world was born. Our beautiful, fragile home. And a great, warming light nurtured its days, and a lesser light ruled the nights. And there was evening, and morning - another day. And the waters of the world gathered together, and in their midst emerged dry land. Another day passed. And the ground put forth the growing things. A thick blanket of green stretching across all creation. And the waters, too, teemed with life. Great creatures of the deep that are no more. Vast multitudes of fish, some of which may still swim beneath these seas. And soon the sky was streaming with birds. And there was evening, and there was morning - a fifth day. Now the whole world was full of living beings. Everything that creeps, everything that crawls, and every beast that walks upon the ground, and it was good. It was all good. There was light and air and water and soil, all clean and unspoiled. There were plants and fish and fowl and beast, each after their own kind, all part of the greater whole, all in their place, and all was in balance. It was paradise, a jewel in The Creator's palm. Then The Creator made Man, and by his side, Woman. Father and mother of us all. He gave them a choice: follow the temptation of darkness, or hold on to the blessing of light. But they ate from the forbidden fruit. Their innocence was extinguished. And so for the ten generations since Adam, sin has walked within us. Brother against brother, nation against nation, Man against Creation. We murdered each other. We broke the world, we did this. Man did this. Everything that was beautiful, everything that was good, we shattered. Now, it begins again. Air, water, earth, plant, fish, bird and beast. Paradise returns. But this time there will be no men. If we were to enter the garden, we would only ruin it again. No, the Creator has judged us. Mankind must end. Shem and Ila, you will bury your mother and I. Ham, you will bury them. Japheth will lay you to rest. You, Japheth, you will be the last man. And in time you, too, will return to the dust. Creation will be left alone, safe and beautiful.

Desire and Ritual in Attraction

The End of a Dream
Steve
Who says we want what we think we want? We want what we think we are supposed to want? Like what the books tell us to want. And the movies. That's what I wanted. Happy. Happy, happy, happy. Shit like that, ok? We didn't get that. That's the end of that. Ok? It's not ... the end of us. It's the end of a dream, that's all. You wake up in the morning, the dream's over, so what? We're still here ...

Accountability and Redemption in Justice
Javert
Monsieur le Mayor, I have a crime to declare. I have disgraced the uniform that I wear. I've done you wrong- let no forgiveness be shown. I've been as hard on every rogue I have known. I mistook you for a convict; I have made a false report. Now I learned they caught the culprit, he's about to face the court. Of course, he now denies it; you'd expect that of a con. But he could not run forever- no, not even Jean Valjean.
Jean Valjean
You say he denies it all and gives no understanding or repentance? You say this man is going to trial and he's sure to be returned to serve his sentence?
Javert
He will pay, and so must I. Press charges against me, sir.
[offering his sword]
Jean Valjean
You have only done your duty; it's a minor sin at most. All of us have made misjudgements- you'll return, sir, to your post.

The Illusion of Free Will and Control
Monica
You think you have free will. You make decisions, you make things happen. According to Marx, this is just behavior, superficial behavior. Underneath this behavior, there are patterns determining our destiny. And, here's the killer ... we have no control over them. No matter what we do, it makes no difference to the path of history.

Searching for Identity in a Relationship
Steve
I used to wake up ... I'd fall asleep and then I'd be wide awake and I just had to get out of here.
Monica
Why?
Steve
Not coz it was bad, ok? Coz being here with you, everything else was far away, just gone ... me and my life and everything I do and what I am. I was losing that here. I'd wake up and think "it's gone, I'm gone." I got to get back and see if it's still there. Coz here ... I don't know who I am here.

In time, you will help them accomplish wonders.
