Stellan Skarsgård Quotes

Russell Franklin What in God's creation...?

Jim Whitlock Oh, not His. Ours.

Jim Whitlock Sharks are the oldest creatures on the planet...from a time when the world was just flesh and teeth.

Cerdic Arthur. Wherever I go on this wretched island, I hear your name. Always half-whispered, as if you were a god. All I see is flesh and blood, no more god than the creature you're sitting on.

Arthur Speak your terms, Saxon.

Cerdic The Romans have left you. Who are you fighting for?

Arthur I fight for a cause beyond Rome's or your understanding.

Cerdic You come to beg a truce. You should be on your knees.

Arthur I came to see your face, so that I alone may find you on the battlefield. And it would be good for you to mark my face, Saxon, for the next time you see it, it will be the last thing you see on this earth!

Cerdic Ah... Ah, finally. A man worth killing.

Grand Duke How many divisions will this "good, honest country girl" provide us? How will she make the kingdom stronger? We are a small kingdom amongst great states, Your Royal Highness. And it's a dangerous world.

Grand Duke I think we might have made a bargain: A ball for the people, and a princess for the prince.

Gustav Borg You two are the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Nora Borg The best that's ever happened to you? Then why weren't you there?

Gustav Borg Everyone's mad at dad, huh? You two turned out fine, didn't you?

Nora Borg How can you tell? You don't even know us.

Agnes Borg Pettersen Stop exaggerating.

Nora Borg Exaggerating?

Agnes Borg Pettersen Yeah.

Gustav Borg I know it's been hard for you. I recognize myself in you. But you're so goddamn angry. It's hard to love someone who's so full of rage. Right? You don't want to be alone forever.

Robert Langdon If you care at all about your church, you'll listen to me.

Commander Richter My church? My church comforts the sick and dying. My church feeds the poor. What does your church do, Mr. Langdon? That's right. You don't have one.

Baron Vladimir Harkonnen For hundreds of years, we've traded blood for blood. But no more. Your son is dead. Your concubine is dead. Tonight the House of Atreides falls. And your bloodline ends forever.

Gustav Borg So, you don't wanna do the film anymore.

Rachel Kemp I, uh.. I just.. I just don't wanna let you down. I won't drop out if you really want me to stay. But is it just me? This just doesn't feel right. It doesn't feel right to you either, does it? Me doing this film?

Gustav Borg Of course it does.

Rachel Kemp I don't think it does, you know? You asked me to dye my hair the same color as your daughter. And, I mean, you don't want this film to be in English, do you? That feels wrong to you too, right? And I don't wanna disappoint you. I'm sorry.

Gustav Borg I let you down, Rachel. I'm sorry. Most actors would do the role even if it felt wrong. Or just leave and let the agents sort it out. But you came here. You're a good person.

Piter De Vries If the Duke's son lives--

Baron Vladimir Harkonnen No Atreides shall live.

Piter De Vries My Lord, you gave your word to the witch, and she sees too much.

Baron Vladimir Harkonnen I said I would not harm them, and I shall not. But Arrakis is Arrakis, and the desert takes the weak. My desert. My Arrakis. My Dune.

Gustav Borg This'll be great, she's motivated. I told her that footstool was the one my mom used to hang herself.

Agnes Borg Pettersen The one from IKEA?

Martin Vanger You know what's harder than hitting someone with a gun? Just missing them. It was a very good shot, up at the cabin.

Blomkvist Well it didn't work. I'm still here.

Martin Mikael, it did work. You're here.

Gregor So, what color is the boathouse at Hereford?

Sam How the fuck should I know?

Martin Vanger So, what would you like to know? You're a journalist; it's your job to ask me questions. What do I do with the girls? That's a good question. Well, before I do what we're doing, I sit down, relax, have a drink. I like that part a lot. Having a chat when both of you know that one of you is going to die. Afterwards I just get rid of them, far out at sea. Unlike my father. He left them scattered all over the place, like trophies. That's not very smart, if you ask me. He was a loud and garish man; frankly, he got what he deserved. You can't be a sloppy technician like that. You can't drink to excess, like he did. This takes discipline. It's a science of a thousand details: the planning, the execution, the cleanup. I guess I don't have to tell you, but you're going to create quite a mess. Let me ask you something. Why don't people trust their instincts? They sense something is wrong, someone is walking too close behind them... You knew something was wrong, but you came back into the house. Did I force you, did I drag you? No. All I had to do was offer you a drink. It's hard to believe the fear of offending can be stronger than the fear of pain but, you know what? It is, and they always come willingly. And they sit there, and they know it's all over, just like you do, but somehow they still think they have a chance. Maybe if I say the right thing, maybe if I'm polite, if I cry, if I beg. And when I see the hope draining from their face, like it's draining from yours right now, I feel myself getting hard. But you know, we're not that different, you and I. We both have urges. Satisfying mine requires more towels.

Glossu Rabban Uncle, how can we let this happen? How can the Emperor... TAKE EVERYTHING WE'VE BUILT AND GIVE IT TO THAT DUKE?! HOW?!

Piter De Vries Don't be too sure it's an act of love.

Glossu Rabban What does he mean?

Baron Vladimir Harkonnen When is a gift not a gift? The Atreides voice is rising, and the Emperor is a jealous man. A dangerous, jealous man.

Baron Vladimir Harkonnen I said I would not harm them, and I shall not. But Arrakis is Arrakis, and the desert takes the weak. My desert. My Arrakis. My Dune.

Gustav Borg Please, don't look back at this as a failure. You're a great actress, I meant it.

Rachel Kemp Thank you.

Press Your movie is a Netflix production. Will it be released in theatres?

Gustav Borg Well... how else would you watch it?

Martin Vanger I've never had a man down here. I've never actually touched another man — except for my father, of course. That was my duty, mine and Harriet's.

Martin Vanger You'll have more luck with a gun. When we go hunting. I want to show you something. Bring your drink. Leave my knife.
