Sometimes when I'm going to sleep, I think, 'Oh God, my future husband is out there somewhere and I might know him, or I might not, and I wonder what he's doing and I wonder if he knows me.' I just always think that's so fascinating, that even when y...
I get paid to do what I love. If you understand physics, the foundation of the atomic theory and relativity, you understand how the future is going to unfold. You understand what things are not possible. You understand why things work. I get paid to ...

[from trailer] Joe: I work as a specialized assassin, in an outfit called the Loopers. When my organization from the future wants someone to die, they zap them back to me and I eliminate the target from the future. The only rule is: never let your ta...
Erik Lehnsherr: We have fifteen seconds before the door open, and then guards will come through that door. Pietro Maximoff: Should be fun. I'm holding you so you won't get whiplash. Erik Lehnsherr: What? Pietro Maximoff: Whip... lash.
Charles Xavier: [to Logan] You know, I think I do remember you now. Yeah... We came to you a long time ago seeking your help. And I'm gonna say to you what you said to us then: fuck off!
Magneto: Charles, are you sure this will work? Professor X: I have complete faith in him. Magneto: It's not him I'm worried about. It's us. We were younger, more brash. We didn't know any better. Professor X: We will now.
[Flying above Biff in 1955] Marty McFly: There he is, Doc! Let's land on him, we'll cripple his car. Doc: Marty, he's in a '46 Ford, we're in a DeLorean. He'd rip through us like we were tin foil.

Strickland's Deputy: [Buford is pulled out of a manure cart and up to his feet] Buford Tannen, you're under arrest for robbin' the Pine City Stage! You got anything to say? Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen: [spits out a chunk of manure] I hate manure.
