"People say that you can't choose your parents, but you know you can't choose your children either." -Herbert Greenleaf, _The Talented Mr. Ripley_ "Tommy. How's the peeping? Tommy, how's the peeping? Tommy. Tommy. Tommy. Tommy. Tommy." -Freddie, _The Talented Mr. Ripley_ "The thing with Dickie... it's like the sun shines on you, and it's glorious. And then he forgets you and it's very, very cold... When you have his attention, you feel like you're the only person in the world, that's why everybody loves him so much." -Marge, _The Talented Mr. Ripley_ "I warned them but they wouldn't listen." _Tales from the Darkside: the Movie_ "I like to picture Jesus in a tuxedo t-shirt because it says I want to be formal, but I'm here to party." -Cal, _Talladega Nights_ "Chip, I'm gonna come at you like a spider monkey!" -Texas Ranger, _Talladega Nights_ "My husband Gregory and I want what any couple wants: to retire to Stockholm and develop a currency for dogs and cats to use." -Girard, _Talladega Nights_ "You gotta think about it like the first time you got laid. You gotta go: 'Daddy, are you sure this is right?'" _Tank Girl_ "Ladies, lock up your sons!" _Tank Girl_ Ivan: You look ravishing and I'd like to chew on your thighs. Samantha: I thought we had a professional relationship. Ivan: So I'll pay. _Tapeheads_ Ivan: You, you've got no ambition! You're content just existing! You need what I've got, brother. Josh: Herpes? _Tapeheads_ "Come with me if you want to live." -Kyle Reese, _The Terminator_ Sarah: Reese. Why me? Why's it want me? Reese: There was a nuclear war. A few years from now, all this, this whole place, everything, it's gone. Just gone. There were survivors. Here, there. Nobody even knew who started it. It was the machine, Sarah. Sarah: I don't understand. Reese: Defense network computers. New... powerful... hooked into everything, trusted to run it all. They say it got smart, a new order of intelligence. Then it saw all people as a threat, not just the ones on the other side. Decided our fate in a microsecond: extermination. Sarah: Did you see this war? Kyle: No. I grew up after. In the ruins... starving... hiding from H-Ks. Sarah Connor: H-Ks? Reese: Hunter-Killers: patrol machines built in automated factories. Most of us were rounded up, put in camps for orderly disposal. [Pulls up his right sleeve, exposing a mark.] Reese: This is burned in by laser scan. Some of us were kept alive... to work... loading bodies. The disposal units ran night and day. We were that close to going out forever. But there was one man who taught us to fight, to storm the wire of the camps, to smash those metal motherfuckers into junk. He turned it around. He brought us back from the brink. His name is Connor. John Connor. Your son, Sarah, your unborn son. _The Terminator_ "3 billion human lives ended on August 29th, 1997. The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgment Day. They lived only to face a new nightmare: the war against the machines. The computer which controlled the machines, Skynet, sent two Terminators back through time. Their mission: to destroy the leader of the human resistance, John Connor, my son. The first Terminator was sent to strike at me in the year 1984. It failed. The second was set to strike at John himself when he was still a child. As before, the resistance was able to send a lone warrior, a protector for John. It was just a question of which one of them would reach him first." -Sarah Connor, _Terminator 2_ The Terminator: The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes on-line August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug. Sarah Connor: And Skynet fights back. _Terminator 2_ Sarah Connor: [narrating] Dyson listened while the Terminator laid it all down: Skynet, Judgment Day, the history of things to come. It's not everyday you hear that you're responsible for 3 billion deaths. He took it pretty well. Miles Dyson: I feel like I'm gonna throw up. _Terminator 2_ John Connor: We've got company. Miles Dyson: Police? Sarah Connor: How many? John Connor: Uh, all of them, I think. _Terminator 2_ Sarah Connor: How are you supposed to know? Fucking men like you built the hydrogen bomb. Men like you thought it up. You think you're so creative. You don't know what it's like to really create something; to create a life; to feel it growing inside you. All you know how to create is death... John Connor: Mom. Sarah Connor: ...and destruction... John Connor: Mom! We need to be a little more constructive here, okay? _Terminator 2_ "The future has not been written. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. I wish I could believe that. My name is John Connor, they tried to murder me before I was born, when I was 13 they tried again. Machines from the future. Terminators. All my life my mother told me the storm was coming, Judgment Day, the beginning of the war between man and machines. Three billion lives vanished in an instant, and I would lead what was left of the human race to ultimate victory. It hasn't happened, no bombs fell, computers didn't take control, we stopped Judgment Day. I should feel safe, but I don't, so I live off the grid - no phone, no address, no one and nothing can find me. I've erased all connections to the past, but as hard as I try I can't erase my dreams, my nightmares." _Terminator 3_ Dr. Peter Silberman: You're safe now, they can't hurt you. Kate, my name is Doctor Silberman. I'm a post trauma counselor for the Sheriff's Department, how are you feeling? Kate Brewster: He's not human... he's really, not human. Dr. Peter Silberman: I know what it's like to be in a hostage situation, I've been there myself. The fear, the adrenaline you find yourself, imagining things, impossible things, crazy things, insane things... take years to get over it. _Terminator 3_ "The attack began at 6:18 PM, just as he said it would. Judgment Day, the day the human race was almost destroyed by the weapons they'd built to protect themselves. I should have realized it was never our destiny to stop Judgment Day - merely to survive it, together." -John Connor, _Terminator 3_ "We don't sell Tic-Tacs, we sell cigarettes. And they're cool, available, and addictive. The job is almost done for us." -BR, _Thank You for Smoking_ [On the phone in the middle of the night.] Jeff: Gotta go. London. It's 7 AM in the Great Kingdom. Nick: When do you sleep? [Pause.] Jeff: Sunday. _Thank You for Smoking_ "I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubble gum." -Nada, _They Live_ "I dunno what the hell's in there, but it's weird and pissed off, whatever it is." -Clark, _The Thing_ "Your reputation *far* exceeds your skills." -Critical Bill, _Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead_ [Derek Smalls sets off a metal detector at the airport] Officer: Do you have any artificial plates or limbs? Derek Smalls: Er, not really. _This is Spinal Tap_ "It's such a fine line between stupid and clever." _This is Spinal Tap_ "Well, I'm sure I'd feel much worse if I weren't under such heavy sedation." _This is Spinal Tap_ Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder? Nigel Tufnel: [Pause] These go to eleven. _This is Spinal Tap_ [Nigel is playing a soft piece on the piano] Marty DiBergi: It's very pretty. Nigel Tufnel: You know, just simple lines intertwining, you know, very much like - I'm really influenced by Mozart and Bach, and it's sort of in between those, really. It's like a Mach piece, really. It's sort of - Marty: What do you call this? Nigel: Well, this piece is called "Lick My Love Pump." _This is Spinal Tap_ McCann: Are you okay? Banning: Yeah. McCann: I was okay once. I found out my wife was cheating on me. I beat a suspect unconscious, fucked five women in three days, and drove my car the wrong way on an off-ramp. But I was okay. _The Thomas Crown Affair_ Chief Elgin: Either way, the Good Lord has put this map in our path and I believe we're gonna find something. Troy: Yeah, he could also put a land mine in our path if we go out there. _Three Kings_ Archie: You're scared, right? Vig: Maybe. Archie: The way it works is, you do the thing you're scared shitless of, and you get the courage AFTER you do it, not before you do it. Vig: That's a dumbass way to work. It should be the other way around. Archie: I know. That's the way it works. _Three Kings_ "It appears my hypocrisy knows no bounds." -Doc Holliday, _Tombstone_ "Look at all the stars. You look up and you think, 'God made all this and He remembered to make a little speck like me.' It's kind of flattering, really." _Tombstone_ "Why Kate, you're not wearing a bustle. How lewd." -Doc Holliday, _Tombstone_ "I'm coming. And hell is coming with me." -Wyatt Earp, _Tombstone_ "I'm not the first guy who fell in love with a woman that he met at a restaurant who turned out to be the daughter of a kidnapped scientist only to lose her to her childhood lover whom she last saw on a deserted island who then turned out fifteen years later to be the leader of the French Underground." -Nick, _Top Secret_ "Consider that a divorce!" -Quaid, _Total Recall_ "For a vegetarian, Rent, you're a fucking evil shot." -Sick Boy, _Trainspotting_ "You have to worry about bills, about food, about some football team that never fucking wins, about human relationships and all the things that don't really matter when you've got a sincere and truthful junk habit." _Trainspotting_ [yelling over the music at a club] Tommy's Girl & Spud's Girl: WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT? Tommy & Spud: FOOTBALL. WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT? Girls: SHOPPIN'. _Trainspotting_ Renton: Gonna get it right this time. Gonna get it sorted out. Gonna get off it for good. Swanney: I've heard that one before. Renton: The Sick Boy method? Swanney: Well, it nearly worked for him, hey. Renton: Well, he's always been lacking in moral fiber. Swanney: He knows a lot about Sean Connery. Renton: That's hardly a substitute. _Trainspotting_ "I don't feel the sickness yet, but it's in the mail. That's for sure. I'm in the junkie limbo at the moment. Too ill to sleep. Too tired to stay awake, but the sickness is on it's way. Sweat, chills, nausea. Pain and craving. A need like nothing else I've ever known will soon take hold of me. It's on it's way." -Renton, _Trainspotting_ "People think it's all about misery and desperation and death and all that shit which is not to be ignored, but what they forget is the pleasure of it. Otherwise we wouldn't do it. After all, we're not fucking stupid." -Renton, _Trainspotting_ "Phew! I haven't felt that good since Archie Gemmil scored against Holland in 1978!" -Renton, _Trainspotting_ Toby: Japanese people kill for old Nikes. Bree: Then you probably should avoid wearing them in Japan. Toby: Yeah, I'd probably be, like, disemboweled by a ninja. Bree: You don't have to say "like". "Probably disemboweled by a ninja" is sufficient. And please don't put your feet up on the dashboard. _Transamerica_ Speedman: You tell the world what happened here. Kirk Lazarus: What happened here? Speedman: I don't know, but you need to tell them. _Tropic Thunder_ "I'm a lead farmer, motherfucka!" -Kirk Lazarus, _Tropic Thunder_ "Is there no one else?

We need the greatest warrior." -Nestor, _Troy_ "I'll tell you a secret. Something they don't teach you in your temple. The gods envy us. They envy us because we're mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again." -Achilles, _Troy_ Briseis: Why did you choose this life? Achilles: What life? Briseis: To be a great warrior. Achilles: I chose nothing. I was born and this is what I am. _Troy_ Faisil: They call him the Sand Spider. Spencer: Why? Faisil: Probably because it sounds scary. _True Lies_ "I'm the Anti-Christ. You get me in a vendetta kind of mood, you will tell the angels in heaven that you had never seen evil so singularly personified as you did in the face of the man who killed you." -Vincenzo Coccotti, _True Romance_ "We accept the reality of the world around us. It's as simple as that." -Christof, _The Truman Show_ "The computer, another idea stolen from the black man... George Washington Carver made the first computer! Out of a peanut!
