Sam Spade: You gotta convince me that you know what this is all about, that you aren't just fiddling around hoping it'll all... come out right in the end!
Rameses: [to Nefretiri] You are going to be mine, all mine, like my dog or my horse or my falcon. Only I will love you more and trust you less.
For others, as for ourselves, we must trust him. If we could thoroughly understand anything, that would be enough to prove it undivine; and that which is but one step beyond our understanding must be in some of its relations as mysterious as if it we...
If the partridge didn't call at the wrong moment, Neither the hunter nor the falcon would know of it. It follows from this point also, That everyone's voice betrays him.
Sam Spade: Ten thousand? We were talking about a lot more money than this. Kasper Gutman: Yes, sir, we were, but this is genuine coin of the realm. With a dollar of this, you can buy ten dollars of talk.
Kasper Gutman: That's an attitude, sir, that calls for the most delicate judgment on both sides. 'Cause as you know, sir, in the heat of action men are likely to forget where their best interests lie and let their emotions carry them away.
Sam Spade: Haven't you anything better to do than to keep popping in here early every morning and asking a lot of fool questions? Lt. Dundy: And gettin' a lot of lyin' answers! Sam Spade: Take it easy.
Effie Perine: Look at me, Sam. You worry me. You always think you know what you're doing, but you're too slick for your own good. Some day you're going to find it out.
[the Millennium Falcon, under siege, won't start] Princess Leia: [sarcastic] Would it help if I got out and pushed? Han Solo: [also sarcastic] It might!
let this be our beautiful departure from stagnation; let our minds come alive; enter another dimension; go beyond the stars eagerly struggling to find that... which our naked eyes did not know existed; rise like a falcon born to soar and not be alone...
The difference between virtuality and life is very simple. In a construct you know everything is being run by an all-powerful machine. Reality doesn't offer this assurance, so it's very easy to develop the mistaken impression that you're in control. ...
A falcon hovers at the edge of the sky. Two gulls drift slowly up the river. Vulnerable while they ride the wind, they coast and glide with ease. Dew is heavy on the grass below, the spider's web is ready. Heaven's ways include the human: among a tho...
Joel Cairo: You... you bungled it. You and your stupid attempt to buy it. Kemedov found out how valuable it was, no wonder we had such an easy time stealing it. You... you imbecile. You bloated idiot. You stupid fat-head you. [cries]
Brigid O'Shaughnessy: I haven't lived a good life. I've been bad, worse than you could know. Sam Spade: You know, that's good, because if you actually were as innocent as you pretend to be, we'd never get anywhere.
Spade: We didn't exactly believe your story, Miss O'Shaughnessy. We believed your 200 dollars. I mean, you paid us more than if you had been telling us the truth, and enough more to make it all right.
[first lines] Sam Spade: Yes, sweetheart? Effie Perine: There's a girl wants to see you. Her name's Wonderly. Sam Spade: A customer? Effie Perine: I guess so. You'll want to see her anyway. She's a knockout.
Joel Cairo: I certainly wish you would have invented a more reasonable story. I felt distinctly like an idiot repeating it. Sam Spade: Don't worry about the story's goofiness. A sensible one would have had us all in the cooler.
Charlie: My Aunt Helen has said I should be a writer, but I don't know what I'd write about. Sam: You could write about us. Patrick: Yeah! Call it 'Slut and the Falcon'. Make us solve crimes.
Darth Vader: There will be a substantial reward for the one who finds the Millennium Falcon. You are free to use any methods necessary, but I want them alive. No disintegrations. Boba Fett: As you wish.
Darth Vader: There will be a substantial reward for the one who finds the Millenium Falcon. You are free to use any methods necessary but I want them alive - no disintegrations! Boba Fett: As you wish.
Luke Skywalker: [on first seeing the Millenium Falcon] What a piece of junk! Han Solo: She'll make point five past lightspeed. She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.
