The Big Movie File: D-G
"I promised her my eternal love, and I actually thought that for a couple of hours." -Vicomte De Valmont, _Dangerous Liasons_ "When I came out into society I was 15. I already knew then that the role I was condemned to, namely to keep quiet and do what I was told, gave me the perfect opportunity to listen and observe. Not to what people told me, which naturally was of no interest to me, but to whatever it was they were trying to hide. I practiced detachment. I learn how to look cheerful while under the table I stuck a fork onto the back of my hand. I became a virtuoso of deceit. I consulted the strictest moralists to learn how to appear, philosophers to find out what to think, and novelist to see what I could get away with, and in the end it all came down to one wonderfully simple principle: that happiness and vanity are incompatible." -Marquise De Merteuil, _Dangerous Liasons_ Matt Murdock: Do you do this to every guy who asks for your name? Elektra: You should wait till you want my number. _Daredevil_ Foggy Nelson: It's in black and white, how can you be a skeptic? Matt Murdock: If there's no eye witnesses, I mean... Big Foot has eye witnesses. _Daredevil_ Foggy Nelson: What's her name? Matt Murdock: Elektra Natchios. Foggy Nelson: Sounds like a Mexican appetizer. _Daredevil_ "More peanuts please." -Bullseye, _Daredevil_ Bullseye: Daredevil...he made me...he made me miss! Kingpin: They say too much pride can kill a man. _Daredevil_ "I grew up in the Bronx. This is something you wouldn't understand." -Kingpin, _Daredevil_ "Do I really look like a guy with a plan?

You know, I just do things." -the Joker, _The Dark Knight_ "Hey buddy, this whole splitting up thing's kinda stupid." -Larry, _Darkness Falls_ "I never gave a ticket to a nun before. I gave a ticket to a guy from the IRS one time. Got audited the next year. I'll tell you what, this time I'll let this one slide, but keep your speed down, yeah?" -state trooper, _Dead Man Walking_ "Look on the bright side. We'll all get high schools named after us." -Andrea, _Deep Impact_ "I don't mean to brag, but I am the greatest!" -Simon Phoenix, _Demolition Man_ "It's hard work being this good." -Simon Phoenix, _Demolition Man_ Bartender: What do you want?

I was visiting a bar there, not unlike this one. They serve beer... not quite as good as this, but close. And I saw something you wouldn't believe. I'm sitting there see, small table all by myself at this bar. It's full of real low-lives. I mean, not like this place here. No, I mean bad. Like they were up to no good. Anyway, I'm by myself... I like it that way. Meanwhile, things are going on... under the table kinds of things. Not too obvious but, not too secret either. So, I'm sitting there. And in walks the biggest Mexican I have ever seen. Big as shit. Just walks right in like he owns the place. And nobody knew quite what to make of him... or quite what to think. There he was and in he walked. He was dark too. I don't mean dark-skinned. No, this was different. It was if he was always walking in a shadow. I mean every step he took toward the light, just when you thought his face was about to be revealed... it wasn't. It was as if the lights dimmed, just for him." -Buscemi, _Desperado_ "Bless me, Father, for I have just killed quite a few men." _Desperado_ [praying] "Give me the strength to be what I was, and forgive me for what I am." -El Mariachi, _Desperado_ "You are about to have a very bad day." -Zeus, _Die Hard With A Vengence_ "It's not safe out! People are shaving their crotches as we speak. There is pubic hair in the air! Everywhere!" -Marge, _A Dirty Shame_ Peter: Wait, so you want to join the cheerleading squad so people don't think you're a loser? Justin: Yeah. Why? Peter: Oh, nothing. It's just high school has changed since I went. _Dodgeball_ Justin: Steve! Where is it you go to do... whatever it is that you do? Steve the Pirate: Garrr! Joe's be the only place for me! _Dodgeball_ Dwight: We could sell blood and semen. [everyone gives him a strange look] Dwight: What? Not mixed together. _Dodgeball_ White: What about when you slept with three of my female trainers? Peter: That was only one night. White: What about the time you sent me a stripper for Globo-Gym's one year anniversary. Peter: The stripper was meant to be congratulatory. White: Yes, but it was also a man! _Dodgeball_ "It's like watching a bunch of retards trying to hump a doorknob!" -Patches O'Houlihan, _Dodgeball_ Kate: That's an... interesting painting you have there. White: Thanks. It's a metaphor. That's me taking the bull by the horns. Kate: Yeah, I got that. White: That really happened though. _Dodgeball_ "Too bad Hallmark doesn't make a 'Sorry your dodgeball coach got killed by two tons of irony' card." -Peter, _Dodgeball_ "It's time to separate the weak from the chafed, the men from the boys, the awkwardly feminine from the possibly Canadian." -Cotton McKnight, _Dodgeball_ Cotton McKnight: It looks like it's two on one. This is a menage a trois of pain. Pepper Brooks: Usually you have to pay double for that, Cotton. _Dodgeball_ "This is an event more exciting than the World Cup, the World Series, and World War II combined." -Cotton McKnight, _Dodgeball_ Bartleby: This from the guy who still owes me ten dollars from a bet over which was going to be the bigger movie, E.T. or Krush Groove. Loki: Hey, fuck you man, because time's going to tell on that one. _Dogma_ "You know, fuck you, man, any moron with a pack of matches can start a fire. Raining down sulphur is like an endurance trial. Mass genocide is the most exhausting practice one can engage in. Next to soccer." -Loki, _Dogma_ "I feel like I'm Han Solo, and you're Chewie, and she's Ben Kenobi, and we're in that fucked-up bar." -Jay, _Dogma_ "Human beings have neither the aural nor the psychological capacity to withstand the awesome power of God's true voice. Were you to hear it, your mind would cave in and your heart would explode within your chest. We went through five Adams before we figured that out." -the Metatron, _Dogma_ Jay: If you know so much, tell me something about myself. Rufus: You masturbate more than anyone else on the planet.

Why didn't you tell the world?" _Dr. Strangelove_ "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room." -President Muffley, _Dr. Strangelove_ "Mein Führer! I can WALK!" _Dr. Strangelove_ Joe Friday: Ah, sure, but just like every other foaming, rabid psycho in this city with a foolproof plan, you've forgotten you're facing the single finest fighting force ever assembled. Reverend Whirley: The Israelis? _Dragnet: the Movie_ "Well, Muzz, I guess it's just you, and... and me... and your balls... and this drawer." -Streebeck, _Dragnet: the Movie_ "Don't you mean 'the *virgin* Connie Swail'??" -Pep Streebek, _Dragnet: the Movie_ "Dreams die hard and you hold them in your hand long after they have turned to dust." _Dragonheart_ "When there are no more dragons to slay, how will you make a living, knight?" _Dragonheart_ [Begins talking into the gun like it's a phone.] Henry: Hello?

Captain Underhill: Give me back my gun. _Dreamcatcher_ Jesse: Who's Johnny Potsmoker? Chester: Oh ,that's my alter ego. Jesse: Wait, I thought Johnny Potsmoker was MY alter ego. Chester: No. Yours is Smokey McPot. Jesse: Oh yeah. _Dude, Where's My Car?_ Jesse: Dude! You got a tattoo! Chester: So do you, dude! Dude, what does my tattoo say? Jesse: "Sweet!" What about mine? Chester: "Dude!" What does mine say? _Dude, Where's My Car?_ "Dude, it's a llama!" -Jesse, _Dude, Where's My Car?_ "We are not dudes. We are hot chicks." _Dude, Where's My Car?_ "I refuse to play your Chinese food mind games!" -Jesse, _Dude, Where's My Car?_ "I'm sensing something very Canadian about this place." -Jesse, _Dude, Where's My Car?_ Chester: How wasted were we last night? Jesse: Well, I touched Christy Boner's hoo-hoo, were on the hook for two hundred thousand dollars to a transsexual stripper, and my car's gone. I'd say we were pretty wasted. _Dude, Where's My Car?_ "Quiet, gentlemen. Reverend Rodent's gonna address you." -Jim Crow, _Dumbo_ Snails: I thought you said this was going to be easy. Ridley: No, I said it wasn't impossible. Snails: See that's the same thing you said when we robbed that halfling's house. And who did he catch? Me. And who did he beat from the waist down? Me. _Dungeons & Dragons_ "I've got a new word for 'stupid' now: 'Ridley'! This is the Ridleyest thing I've ever heard!" -Snails, _Dungeons & Dragons_ Ridley: We gotta save Marina. Snails: Wait. What about the dwarf? Ridley: You get the dwarf. I get the girl. Snails: Wait, how come I always got to get the dwarf? _Dungeons & Dragons_ Kim: Hold me. Edward: I can't. _Edward Scissorhands_ "Remember who you are. Do not be afraid of them." _Elizabeth_ "I am my father's daughter. I'm not afraid of anything." _Elizabeth_ [Offering Elizabeth his coat before putting her in the tower.] Arundel: Madam, you are cold. Elizabeth: I do not need your pity. Arundel: Accept it then for my sake. Elizabeth: Thank you. I shall not forget this kindess. _Elizabeth_ "I have rid England of her enemies. What do I do now?" _Elizabeth_ Kuzco: Let me guess. We're about to go over a huge waterfall. Pacha: Yep. Kuzco: Large sharp jagged rocks at the bottom? Pacha: Most probably.

We're here and that is all that matters. [pause] ...God, what happened? I didn't mean to say that. Allegra: It's your character who said it. It's kind of a schizophrenic feeling isn't it? You'll get use to it. There are things that have to be said to advance the plot and establish the characters, and those things get said whether you want to say them or not. Don't fight it. Just avoid it. _eXistenZ_ Ted: Free will is obviously not a big factor in this little world of ours. Allegra: It's like real life. There's just enough to make it interesting. _eXistenZ_ Ted: We're both stumbling around together in this unformed world, whose rules and objectives are largely unknown, seemingly indecipherable or even possibly nonexistent, always on the verge of being killed by forces that we don't understand. Allegra: That sounds like my game, all right. _eXistenZ_ "Can anybody tell me what's wrong with this picture?" _Falling Down_ "I'm the bad guy? How did that happen?" _Falling Down_ "Take caution in your tone, Commander. I'm a fair guy, but this fucking heat is making me absolutely crazy." -Col. Jessup, _A Few Good Men_ "With a gun in your mouth, you speak only in vowels." _Fight Club_ "With insomnia, you're never really asleep; you're never really awake." _Fight Club_ "The things you own end up owning you." _Fight Club_ Narrator: Well, what do you want me to do? You just want me to hit you? Tyler Durden: C'mon, do me this one favor. Narrator: Why? Tyler Durden: Why? I don't know why; I don't know. Never been in a fight. You? Narrator: No, but that's a good thing. Tyler Durden: No, it is not. How much can you know about yourself, you've never been in a fight? I don't wanna die without any scars. So come on; hit me before I lose my nerve. Narrator: This is crazy. Tyler Durden: So go crazy. Let 'er rip. Narrator: I don't know about this. Tyler Durden: I don't either. Who gives a shit? No one's watching. What do you care? Narrator: Whoa, wait, this is crazy. You want me to hit you? Tyler Durden: That's right. Narrator: What, like in the face? Tyler Durden: Surprise me. Narrator: This is so fucking stupid... [Narrator swings, connects against Tyler's head] Tyler Durden: Motherfucker! You hit me in the ear! Narrator: Well, Jesus, I'm sorry. Tyler Durden: Ow, Christ... why the ear, man? Narrator: Guess I fucked it up... Tyler Durden: No, that was perfect! _Fight Club_ "You have a kind of sick desperation in your laugh." _Fight Club_ "But, it started to make sense... in a Tyler sort of way. No fear. No distractions. The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide." _Fight Club_ "When people think you're dying, they listen, instead of waiting for their turn to speak." _Fight Club_ "I haven't been fucked like that since grade school!" -Marla, _Fight Club_ "Self improvement is masturbation. Self destruction is the answer." _Fight Club_ "We were selling rich women their own fat asses back to them." _Fight Club_ "I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off. _Fight Club_ "Our fathers were our models for God. If they bailed, what does that tell you about God? You have to be prepared for the possibility that God does not like you." _Fight Club_ "I felt like putting a bullet between the eyes of every panda that wouldn't screw to save its species. I wanted to open the dump valves on oil tankers and smother all the French beaches I'd never see. I wanted to breathe smoke." _Fight Club_ "I wanted to destroy something beautiful." _Fight Club_ Boss: Is that your blood? Narrator: Some of it, yeah. _Fight Club_ "This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time." _Fight Club_ "Marla... the little scratch on the roof of your mouth that would heal if only you could stop tonguing it, but you can't." _Fight Club_ "You are not your job. You are not the money in your bank account. You are not the car you drive. You are not how much money is in your wallet. You are not your fucking khakis. You are the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world." _Fight Club_ "I am Jack's smirking revenge." _Fight Club_ "You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else." _Fight Club_ "We were raised on television to believe that we'd all be millionares, movie gods, rock stars, but we won't. And we're starting to figure that out." _Fight Club_ "I got in everyone's hostile little face. Yes, these are bruises from fighting. Yes, I'm comfortable with that. I am enlightened." _Fight Club_ "The liberator who has destroyed my property has realigned my perception." _Fight Club_ "Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate, so we can buy shit we don't need." _Fight Club_ "It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything." _Fight Club_ "It's called a changeover - the movie goes on, and nobody in the audience has any idea." _Fight Club_ "Please return your seat backs to the full upright and locked positions." _Fight Club_ "I look the way you want to look, I fuck the way you want to fuck." _Fight Club_ "First rule of Fight Club, you do not talk about Fight Club. Second rule of Fight Club, you DO NOT talk about Fight Club. Third rule of Fight Club, when someone say "stop" or goes limp, the fight is over. Fourth rule of Fight Club, only two guys to a fight. Fifth rule of Fight Club, one fight at a time. Sixth rule of Fight Club, no shirt, no shoes. Seventh rule of Fight Club, fights go on as long as they have to. Eighth and final rule of Fight Club, if this is your first night at Fight Club, you have to fight." _Fight Club_ "How much can you know about yourself if you've never been in a fight?" _Fight Club_ Jennifer: Perhaps... some things are best forgotten. Alan: Perhaps. _The Final Cut_ [Dory and Marlin are in pitch darkness looking for the mask.] Dory: Ahh. Something's got me. Marlin: That's just me. Dory: Who are you? Marlin: [exasperated] Who am I? Who do you think? Dory: Are... are you my conscience? Marlin: [sighs] Yes, I'm your conscience. We haven't spoken for a while. How are you? Dory: Eh, can't complain. _Finding Nemo_ "I shall call him squishy and he shall be mine and he shall be my squishy." -Dory, _Finding Nemo_ Jack: Where would King Arthur be without Guinevere? Parry: Happily married, probably. _The Fisher King_ "It's social anarchy when people start pissing on bookstores." _The Fisher King_ "Get three coffins ready." -the Man with No Name, _A Fistful of Dollars_ "I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughing. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it." -the Man with No Name, _A Fistful of Dollars_ "Pathetic earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void, without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe, anything at all, you would've hidden from it in terror." -Ming the Merciless, _Flash Gordon_ (1980) Aura: Look! Water is leaking from her eyes. Ming the Merciless: It's what they call tears, it's a sign of their weakness. _Flash Gordon_ (1980) "Philosophy failed. Religion failed.

Peter: Yeah, probably. _Forgetting Sarah Marshall_ Kunu: I once saw him beat a guy up with a starfish! Peter: That's ridiculous. Kunu: That guy was me. _Forgetting Sarah Marshall_ Fowler: I don't understand, though. How does such an amazing lady turn out four all around fuck-ups? Green: Evelyn Mercer worked for Detroit Social Services and helped take hundreds of kids out of foster homes and find them permanent placement - and in 30 years, she came across only four delinquents so far gone she couldn't find anyone to take them in. So she did. _Four Brothers_ Jack: Man, I can drink you under the table. Bobby: Probably, but we're not talking about sperm right now. _Four Brothers_ Anna: It's easy to be you. I'll just suck the fun out of everything. Tess: I do not suck the fun out of everything. Anna: Fun-sucker. -Freaky Friday_ "Dude, that goalie was _pissed_!" _Freddy vs. Jason_ "Kia, he has asthma!" _Freddy vs. Jason_ "Lose your mind and you can live forever." _Freejack_ one-sheet "Gentlemen, the hopes and dreams of an entire town are riding on your shoulders. You may never matter again in your life as much as you do right now." -Coach Gaines, _Friday Night Lights_ "If you try to run, I've got six little friends and they can all run faster than you can." -Seth, _From Dusk Till Dawn_ Kate: Are you okay? Seth: Peachy! Why shouldn't I be? The world's my oyster, except for the fact that I just rammed a wooden stake in my brother's heart because he turned into a vampire, even though I don't believe in vampires. Aside from that unfortunate business, everything's hunky-dory. _From Dusk Till Dawn_ Jacob: Has anybody here read a real book about vampires, or are we just remembering what a movie said? I mean a real book. Sex Machine: You mean like a Time-Life book? _From Dusk Till Dawn_ "So what are you, Jacob? A faithless preacher? Or a mean motherfuckin' servant of God?" -Seth, _From Dusk Till Dawn_ Carlos: What, were they psychos, or...? Seth: Did they look like psychos? Is that what they looked like? They were vampires. Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them, I don't give a fuck how crazy they are. _From Dusk Till Dawn_ "One day men will look back and say that I gave birth to the twentieth century." _From Hell_ "Let that be a lesson to you, boys and girls. Don't ever argue with the big dog, because the big dog is always right." _The Fugitive_ Colonel: Marine, what is that button on your body armor? Joker: A peace symbol, sir. Colonel: Where'd you get it? Joker: I don't remember, sir. Colonel: What is that you've got written on your helmet? Joker: "Born to Kill," sir. Colonel: You write "Born to Kill" on your helmet and you wear a peace button. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?! Joker: No, sir. Colonel: You'd better get your head and your ass wired together, or I will take a giant shit on you! Joker: Yes, sir. Colonel: Now answer my question or you'll be standing tall before the man. Joker: I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir. Colonel: The what? Joker: The duality of man. The Jungian thing, sir. Colonel: Whose side are you on, son? Joker: Our side, sir. Colonel: Don't you love your country? Joker: Yes, sir. Colonel: Then how about getting with the program? Why don't you jump on the team and come on in for the big win? Joker: Yes, sir! Colonel: Son, all I've ever asked of my Marines is that they obey my orders as they would the word of God. We are here to help the Vietnamese, because inside every gook there is an American trying to get out. It's a hardball world, son. We've gotta keep our heads until this peace craze blows over. Joker: Aye-aye, sir. _Full Metal Jacket_ "Did you guys ever WATCH the show?" -Guy, _Galaxy Quest_ Sir Alexander Dane: Could they be the miners? Fred Kwan: Sure, they're like three years old. Sir Alexander Dane: MINERS, not MINORS. Fred Kwan: You lost me. _Galaxy Quest_ "Hi guys. Listen, they're telling me the, uh, the generators won't take it. The ship is breaking apart and all that. Just FYI." -Fred, _Galaxy Quest_ "Look, I have one job on this lousy ship.

Forty-seven years old. You know how I stayed alive this long? Fear. Fearsome acts. A man steals from me, I cut off his hand. If he lies to me, I cut out his tongue. If he stands up against me, I cut off his head, stick it on a pike and lift it up for all to see. A spectacle of fearsome acts. That's what maintains the order of things. Fear." -Bill, _Gangs of New York_ "He was the only man I ever killed worth remembering." -Bill, _Gangs of New York_ "That was the finest beating I ever took." -Bill, _Gangs of New York_ "Lord, place the steel of the Holy Spirit in my spine and the love of the Virgin Mary in my heart." -Amsterdam, _Gangs of New York_ "I never had a son.

Sam: Are you really retarded? _Garden State_ "I'm okay with being unimpressive. I sleep better." -Andrew, _Garden State_ "Don't tease me about my hobbies. I don't tease you about being an asshole." -Mark, _Garden State_ "You know that point in your life when you realize the house you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? That idea of home is gone. Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people who miss the same imaginary place." -Andrew, _Garden State_ "You want to know how I did it? This is how I did it, Anton: I never saved anything for the swim back." -Vincent, _Gattaca_ "I was never more certain of how far away I was from my goal than when I was standing right beside it." -Vincent, _Gattaca_ "There is nothing like the fear a maneater brings. It owns the night and kills so quickly." _The Ghost And The Darkess_ Jack: I was in my plane, looking over the sea and I came across this. Epps: Congratulations! You found a boat, in the middle of the ocean. _Ghost Ship_ "Maritime history's full of Mary Celestes." _Ghost Ship_ Rebecca: This is so bad it's almost good.

Mostly I just feel like poisoning everybody. _Ghost World_ Enid: I think only stupid people have good relationships. Seymour: That's the spirit. _Ghost World_ Venkmen: Egon, this reminds me of that time you tried to drill a hole in your head. Spengler: That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me. _Ghostbusters_ "'Get her.' That was your whole plan, huh,? 'Get her?'" -Dr. Venkman, _Ghostbusters_ "Y'know, you could pick up the place if you're expecting someone." -Dr. Venkman, _Ghostbusters_ Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions. Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"? Ray: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff. Venkman: Exactly. Ray: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling. Egon: Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes... Winston: The dead rising from the grave. Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria. _Ghostbusters_ Egon: Vince, you said before you were waiting for a sign. What sign are you waiting for? Vince Klortho: Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zools knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you! _Ghostbusters_ "Suck in the guts guys, we're the Ghostbusters." -Peter Venkman, _Ghostbusters 2 Ray Stantz: You mean you never even had a Slinky? Egon Spengler: We had part of a Slinky. But I straightened it. _Ghostbusters 2_ Louis: Your Honour, ladies and gentleman, I don't think it's very fair to call my clients frauds. Sure, the blackout was a big problem for everybody. I was trapped in an elevator for two hours and I had to make the whole time. But I don't blame them, because one time, I turned into a dog and they helped me. Thank you. Egon: Very good, Louis. Short but pointless. _Ghostbusters 2_ "What we do in life echoes in eternity." _Gladiator_ "At my signal, unleash hell." -Maximus, _Gladiator_ "Let us pretend that I am a good father, and you are a loving daughter." -Marcus Aurelius, _Gladiator_ "I will win the crowd.

I don't see any closers here." -Blake, _Glengarry Glen Ross_ "We're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anybody want to see second prize? [Holds up prize.] Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired." -Blake, _Glengarry Glen Ross_ "What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? If you'd come to me in friendship, then this scum that ruined your daughter would be suffering this very day.
