Paul Hood: When you think about it, it's not easy to keep from just wandering out of life. It's like someone's always leaving the door open to the next world, and if you aren't paying attention you could just walk through it, and then you've died. Th...
Jason Bourne: They'll kill you for giving me this. Pamela Landy: 4/15/71 isn't much of a code. I guess Vosen is on his way already. Jason Bourne: Why'd you do it? Pamela Landy: This isn't what I signed up for. What they did to you. Blackbriar. This i...
Dean: I feel like men are more romantic than women. When we get married, we marry, like, one girl, 'cause we're resistant the whole way until we meet one girl and we think, "I'd be an idiot if I didn't marry this girl. She's so great". But it seems l...

Jim Braddock: You think you're telling me something? Like, what, boxing is dangerous, something like that? You don't think working triple shifts and at night on a scaffold isn't just as likely to get a man killed? What about all those guys who died l...
Saso: [Speaking in Spanish] Listen to me carefully, Carlito. Rudy says Pachanga is complaining about being broke; that he doesn't have a single dollar. He's also saying that you're a piece of shit, and that you don't have the balls to take care of th...
Francine Parker: Stephen, I'm afraid. You're hypnotized by this place. All of you! You don't see that it's not a sanctuary, it's a prison! Let's just take what we need and get out of here! Stephen: Do you have any idea how many times we would have to...
Big Black Man: [Big Black has just been given a wad of cash by Scorpio] You want to go all the way? The Killer: Every penny's worth. Big Black Man: Relax. Take it easy. It's gonna be all right. [pulls on a pair of leather gloves and methodically beat...
Vicomte de Valmont: I often wonder how you manage to invent yourself. Marquise de Merteuil: Well, I had no choice, did I? I'm a woman. Women are obliged to be far more skillful than men. You can ruin our reputation and our life with a few well-chosen...
[first lines] Frank Costello: I don't want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me. Years ago we had the church. That was only a way of saying - we had each other. The Knights of Columbus were real head-breakers...
Jim Gordon: [Gordon and his men have been brought into Crane's kangaroo court] No lawyer, no witnesses? What sort of due process is this? Dr. Jonathan Crane: Your guilt has been determined. This is merely a sentencing hearing. Now, what will it be? D...
Seedy Guy in Park: That's a hell of a way to treat a vet, man. Bill Foster: You're an animal doctor? Seedy Guy in Park: No, a vet. A veteran. I was in 'Nam, man. Bill Foster: What were you - a drummer boy? You must've been 10 years old. Seedy Guy in ...
Annie Kinsella: Terence Mann was a voice of reason during a time of great madness. Where others were chanting, "Burn, baby, burn", he was talking about love and peace and prosperity. He coined the phrase, "Make love, not war". I cherished every one o...
