The Hunger Games
The Purpose of a Winner
President Snow Seneca, why do you think we have a winner?
Seneca Crane What do you mean?
President Snow I mean, why do we have a winner? I mean, if we just wanted to intimidate the districts, why not round up twenty-four of them at random and execute them all at once? Be a lot faster. Hope.
[Crane does not respond]
Seneca Crane Hope?
President Snow Hope. It is the only thing stronger than fear. A little hope is effective, a lot of hope is dangerous. A spark is fine, as long as it's contained.
Seneca Crane So...
[confused]
President Snow So, contain it.

Interstellar
Communication Updates from Various Space Missions
Doyle The lost communications came through.
Brand How?
Doyle The relay on this side cached them. Years of basic data, no real surprises. Miller's site has kept pinging thumbs up, as has Mann... but Edmunds went down three years ago.
Brand Transmitter failure?
Doyle Maybe. He was sending thumbs up right till it went dark.
Romilly Miller still looks good? She's coming up fast ... with one complication: the planet is much closer to Gargantua than we thought.
[Doyle nods, and Romilly begins drawing on a whiteboard]
Cooper Gargantua?
Doyle A very large black hole. Miller's and Dr. Mann's planets orbit it.
Brand And Miller's is right on the horizon?
Romilly A basketball on the hoop. Landing there takes us dangerously close. A black hole that big has a huge gravitational pull.
Cooper Look, I can swing around that neutron star and decelerate—
Brand It's not that, it's time. That gravity will slow our clock compared to Earth. Drastically.
Cooper How bad?
Romilly Every hour we spend down there will be maybe... seven years back on Earth.
Cooper Jesus...
Romilly That's relativity, folks.

American Beauty
Finding Beauty in Everyday Moments
Ricky Fitts Do you want to see the most beautiful thing I've ever filmed? It was one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing, and there was this electricity in the air. You can almost hear it. Right? And this bag was just, dancing with me, like a little kid beggin me to play with it - for fifteen minutes. That's the day I realized that there was this entire life behind things, and this incredibly benevolent force that wanted me to know that there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember - I need to remember. Sometimes, there's so much beauty in the world - I feel like I can't take it, like my heart is just going to cave in.
[''To Jane'']
