Toby JonesQuotes

Karl Rove: If you can't stand in front of those guys two minutes and come up with one plausible answer what the hell are we running for governor for?

George W. Bush: Just tell me what to do, whatever it takes. Look if I need to read the whole damn Constitution I'll do it.

Karl Rove: Here they come. They'll be bringing the heat.

George W. Bush: I know, don't swing at anything I can't hit.

Reporter #1: Mr. Bush, Mr. Bush, you didn't talk much about education. What are your plans for reform?

George W. Bush: Well, uh, I'm gonna deregulate school districts so that teachers and administrators can, you know, can develop programs to best fit their kids.

Reporter #2: Sir, are you proposing to measure student's progress?

George W. Bush: Oh, well, we need to make a wholesale effort against racial profiling, you know? Which is, uh, illiterate children. You need to be able to teach a child to read and then he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.

Karl Rove: We're in the very early stages of developing our program.

Reporter #2: How do you plan to change the school finance formula?

George W. Bush: I for one will not stand for the subsidization of failure. How do you know if you measure up if you have a system that simply suckles them through.

Reporter #2: What about our failed schools? Do you think the state needs to take them over?

George W. Bush: More government's not the answer. We must have the attitude that every child in America, regardless where raised can learn. Rarely is the question asked is their children learning.

Karl Rove: You look down.

George W. Bush: Just tired, that's all. Just wondering what's gonna happen next.

Karl Rove: What do you mean?

George W. Bush: Well, my father's not going to give me a position, because he can't. And I'm not going to sit around and become a lobbyist, that's for sure.

Karl Rove: George, I've been a lifelong student of political horseflesh. From what I see, you've got a natural talent. You've got the people touch. But you need to go out into the world and do something. I don't know how else to say it, but you haven't done jack shit yet.

Karl Rove: The American people want revenge. They liked Afghanistan, they want more!

Ollie Weeks: Welcome to Sesame Street, kids. Today's word is expiation'.

Ollie Weeks: As a species, we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up reasons to kill one another. Why do you think we invented politics and religion?

Ollie Weeks: You can't convince some people there's a fire even when their hair is burning. Denial is a powerful thing.

SS General Roeder: The Führer is not accustomed to being ignored, Herr Schmidt. He funds your research because you promised him weapons.

SS General Schneider: You serve at his pleasure. He gave you this facility as a reward for your injuries.

Schmidt: Reward? Call it what it is, exile. I no longer reflect his vision of Aryan perfection.

Roeder: You think this is about appearances? Your HYDRA division has failed to produce so much as a rifle in over a year. And we had learned through local intelligence you had mounted a full-scale incursion into Norway.

Schneider: The Führer feels, how does he put it? "The Red Skull has been indulged long enough!

Schmidt: [shows them to his lab; [blood; pulls sheet off a Tesseract-powered laser cannon] Gentlemen... you have come to see the results of our work, hmm? Let me show you. Hitler speaks of a Thousand-Year Reich, but he cannot feed his armies for a month. His troops spill their ] across every field in Europe, but still he is no closer to achieving his goals.

Roeder: And I suppose you still aim to win this war through magic?

Schmidt: [[Science; [forces] ], but I understand your confusion. Great power has always baffled primitive men. HYDRA is assembling an arsenal to destroy my enemies in one stroke, wherever they are, regardless of how many ] they possess, all in a matter of hours.

Roeder: Your enemies?

Schmidt: [[Earth; [gods] My weapons contain enough destructive power to decimate every hostile capital on ]. Quite simply, gentlemen, I have harnessed the power of the ].

Schneider: Thank you, Schmidt.

Schmidt: For what?

Schneider: For making it clear how obviously mad you are.

SS Major Hutter: [studies a map of all European capitals to be targeted, and sees one particular place] Berlin is on this map!

Schmidt: [aims the cannon at the SS officers] So it is.

Hutter: [Schmidt kills him and Schneider] You will be punished for your insolence! You will be brought before the Führer himself!

Roeder: [cornered at the locked door; gets vaporized by laser blast] SCHMIDT!

Schmidt: My apologies, Doctor, but we both knew HYDRA could grow no further in Hitler's shadow. Hail HYDRA.

HYDRA Scientists: Hail HYDRA!

Dr. Arnim Zola: [Schmidt looks to him and Zola reluctantly says] Hail HYDRA!

Control: [Control has just signed an official document of the British Intelligence Service.] Would you witness this for me?

Percy Alleline: I wish I could've done more, Control.

Control: You did all you could, Percy. Well, a man should know when to leave the party.

Toby Esterhase: What about Smiley?

Control: [Smiley nods to the affirmative.] Smiley is leaving with me.

Bill Haydon: [having an inaudible conversation with Esterhase. Esterhase then waves mockingly at Control and Smiley, both of whom are leaving 'The Circus'.] You little prick, Esterhase!

Rogers: How did you get here?

Dr. Arnim Zola: Invited.

Natasha: [[w:Operation Paperclip|Operation Paperclip] It was ] after World War II. S.H.I.E.L.D recruited German scientists with strategic values.

Zola: They thought I could help their cause. I also helped my own.

Rogers: HYDRA died with the Red Skull.

Zola: Cut off one head, two more shall take its place.

Rogers: Prove it.

Zola: [The computer screen shows them old footage of the Red Skull and the original S.H.I.E.L.D founders; The computer screen shows field reports with photos of the Winter Soldier, carrying out top-level assassinations for HYDRA] Accessing archive. HYDRA was founded on the belief that humanity could not be trusted with its own freedom. What we did not realize was that if you try to take that freedom, they resist. The war taught us much. Humanity needed to surrender its freedom willingly. After the war, S.H.I.E.L.D was founded and I was recruited. The new HYDRA grew. A beautiful parasite inside S.H.I.E.L.D. For seventy years, HYDRA has been secretly feeding crisis, reaping war. And when history did not cooperate, history was changed.

Natasha: That's impossible, S.H.I.E.L.D would have stopped you.

Zola: [The computer screen shows them HYDRA had killed Howard and Maria Stark making it look like a car accident, along with the recent death of Fury; In anger Steve suddenly smashes the computer screen. Zola's face reappears on another] Accidents will happen. HYDRA created a world so chaotic that humanity is finally ready to sacrifice its freedom to gain its security. Once the purification process is complete, HYDRA's new world order will arise. We won, Captain. Your death amounts to the same as your Life; a zero sum. As I was saying…

Rogers: What's on this drive?

Zola: Project Insight requires insight. So I wrote an algorithm.

Natasha: What kind of algorithm? What does it do?

Zola: [Bunker door starts to close; Steve throws his shield to keep it open, but it bounces off and the door closes] The answer to your question is fascinating. Unfortunately, you shall be too dead to hear it.

Natasha: [Checks her phone] Steve, we got a bogey! Short-range ballistic. Thirty seconds, tops.

Rogers: Who fired it?

Natasha: [Grimly] S.H.I.E.L.D.

Zola: [Steve pulls out a grate in the floor and jumps through it with Natasha] I'm afraid I have been stalling, Captain. Admit it, it's better this way. We are, both of us, out of time.
