Puck: [last lines] If we shadows have offended,Think but this, and all is mended,That you have but slumber'd here.While these visions did appear.And this weak and idle theme,No more yielding but a dream,Gentles, do not reprehend:If you pardon we will mend.Else the Puck a liar call.Give me your hands, if we be friends,And Robin shall restore amends.

Margin Call - Impact of a Bridge on Community Life

Eric Dale: Do you know I built a bridge once? ... I was an engineer by trade... It went from Dilles Bottom, Ohio to Moundsville, West Virginia. It spanned nine hundred and twelve feet above the Ohio River. Twelve thousand people used this thing a day. And it cut out thirty-five miles of driving each way between Wheeling and New Martinsville. That's a combined 847,000 miles of driving a day. Or 25,410,000 miles a month. And 304,920,000 miles a year. Saved. Now I completed that project in 1986, that's twenty-two years ago. So over the life of that one bridge, that's 6,708,240,000 miles that haven't had to be driven. At, what, let's say fifty miles an hour. So that's, what, 134,165,800 hours, or 559,020 days. So that one little bridge has saved the people of those communities a combined 1,531 years of their lives not wasted in a fucking car. One thousand five hundred and thirty-one years.

Spotlight - The Village's Role in Child Welfare

Mitchell Garabedian: This city, these people... making the rest of us feel like we don't belong. But they're no better than us. Look at how they treat their children. Mark my words, Mr. Rezendes. If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a village to abuse one.

Conspiracy - Plans for Efficient Labor in Isolation Camp

Adolf Eichmann: [[Heinrich Himmler|Reichsführer Himmler; [w:Auschwitz|Auschwitz] Now, last summer ] asked me to visit a camp up in Upper Silesia, called ], which is very well isolated, and close to significant rail access. And we are turning that camp into a major center, solid structures, and here's where your Jewish labor comes into play, Herr Neumann: the Jews haul the bricks and they build the buildings themselves. And when the structures are complete, we expect to be able to process 2500... an hour. Not a day, an hour.

Conspiracy - A Search for Understanding Amidst Oppression

Adolf Eichmann: [to Dr. Klopfer, when asked about how he can speak "Jewish"; pause] Well, I lived among them, I worked among them, and I picked up a few words; Jewish, Yiddish, not enough to speak. So I went in search of a rabbi. Rabbi means "teacher", I came to find out. Look, may I tell you the Lord's honest truth? So many of our highest-ranking officers, whose responsibility it is to deal with the Israelites, they make no attempt to get inside the Jewish head. I went to visit this rabbi - old man, long beard - in his one-room flat. And when he saw me, his eyes grew as large as hen's eggs. I asked him to teach me his language, and he agreed. He said that he would, but that he would charge me, of course. I applied to my commander for funds, and I was denied; now, I've run into this opposition all my life, so I paid my own money. Very little, not much. And he taught me some vocabulary, letters of the alphabet. But looking back, I realize it was poor judgment on my part, because I could have so easily had the old man arrested, put into prison, and demanded lessons from him, in his cell, free of charge. One day, he had gone out, and was rounded up and shipped off, because he had gone out unadvisedly. And I thought, that's so stupid... why are they so stupid? Didn't he know that I would have protected him? At least until my lessons were complete.

Conspiracy - Denial of Communication and Authority

Adolf Eichmann: [[Adolf Hitler|the Führer; long pause] This meeting is not taking place. You are to take no further phone calls from anyone - at all - unless ] calls. And he won't.

Conclave - Conflict of Interest in Papal Election

Bellini: [[Richard Nixon] I could never become Pope on those circumstances. A stolen document, the smearing of a brother cardinal. I'd be the ] of Popes.
Lawrence: Then stay clear of this; leave it to me. I'm willing to handle the consequences.
Bellini: You know who's gonna benefit most from this? Tedesco. The whole basis of his candidacy is that the Holy Father led the church to disaster by his attempts at reform. If you reveal this report, it isn't Tremblay's reputation that's going to suffer; it's the Church's. Accusing the Curia of institutional corruption...
Lawrence: I thought we were here to serve God, not the Curia.
Bellini: Oh, don't be naive!

Conclave - 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.

Easy A - False Rumors and Uncomfortable Conversations

Olive: Guys, I want you to know that if you hear around town that I have chlamydia, that is totally false.
Rosemary: Olive, do we need to have the talk again?
Olive: No. It's just a thing that's going around.
Dill: You know, nothing you're saying is making me feel any better.
Rosemary: Not to mention how you have been dressing these past few days. No judgment, but you kind of look like a stripper.
Olive: Mom!
Dill: A high-end stripper, for governors or athletes, but a stripper nonetheless.
Olive: Oh, my God. I'm just trying to mix it up a little. And I have no STDs, I promise you.
Dill: Oh, that's great. Daughter of the Year.

Easy A - A Misunderstanding About Relationships and Identity

Dill: [as Olive is tearing up her clothes and making her new outfits] Is everything alright? It sounds like you're having sex in here...Which can't be true due to the fact that you have a homosexual boyfriend.
Olive: [angry] He's not my boyfriend!
Dill: Hey, no judgment. All God's children. It's fine. I was gay once...for a while. No big deal. We all do it. It's okay.
Olive: Dad, can you just shut the door, please?
Dill: You all right, buddy?
Olive: Yeah.
Dill: Give them hell.

Andrea: She hates me, Nigel.
Nigel: And that's my problem because... Oh, wait. No, it's not my problem.

Nigel: So quit.
Andrea: What?
Nigel: Quit.
Andrea: Quit?
Nigel: I can get another girl to take your job in five minutes... one who really wants it.
Andrea: No, I don't want to quit. That's not fair. But, I, you know, I'm just saying that I would just like a little credit... for the fact that I'm killing myself trying.
Nigel: Andy, be serious. You are not trying. You are whining. What is it that you want me to say to you, huh? Do you want me to say, "Poor you. Miranda's picking on you. Poor you. Poor Andy"? Hmm? Wake up, six. She's just doing her job. Don't you know that you are working at the place that published some of the greatest artists of the century? ], ], de la Renta. And what they did, what they created was greater than art because you live your life in it. Well, not you, obviously, but some people. You think this is just a magazine, hmm? This is not just a magazine. This is a shining beacon of hope for... oh, I don't know... let's say a young boy growing up in ] with six brothers pretending to go to soccer practice when he was really going to sewing class and reading Runway under the covers at night with a flashlight. You have no idea how many legends have walked these halls. And what's worse, you don't care. Because this place, where so many people would die to work you only deign to work. And you want to know why she doesn't kiss you on the forehead and give you a gold star on your homework at the end of the day. Wake up, sweetheart.
