Grandmother Fa: Great. She brings home a sword. If you ask me, she should've brought home a man. Shang: Excuse me. Does Fa Mulan live here? [Grandmother and Mother dumbly point to the garden] Shang: Thank you. Grandmother Fa: Whoo! Sign me up for the...
The Ace: [Being pursued by the Buzzards in the spikey cars] Should we turn it 'round and run 'em into our backup? Imperator Furiosa: No. We're good. We fang it! [blows War Rig's air horn] The Ace: Thunder up! Here we go!
Devlin: [referring to Sebastian] Well, he's here. The head of a large German business concern. Alicia: His family always had money. Devlin: He's part of the combine that built up the German war machine and hopes to keep on going. Alicia: Something bi...
Patton: I've always felt that I was destined for some great achievement, what I don't know. Sgt. William Meeks: Yes, sir. Patton: The last great opportunity of a lifetime - an entire world at war, and I'm left out of it? God will not permit this to h...
Patton: You know, Dick, if I had my way, I'd meet Rommel face to face; him in his tank and me in mine. We'd meet out there somewhere... salute each other, maybe drink a toast, then we'd button up and do battle. The winner would decide the outcome of ...
[first lines] Narrator: It was 1947, two years after the war, when I began my journey to what my father called the Sodom of the north, New York. They called me Stingo, which was the nick name I was known by in those days, if I was called anything at ...
OTB Man #1, Tommy: Look, I'm telling you, there's gonna be another war. I mean, those slobs in the Pentagon are gonna be out of job unless they find a new enemy. They got this Saddam character now, and they're going to hit him with all they've got. M...
Darth Vader: I've been waiting for you, Obi-Wan. We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner; now *I* am the master. Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: Only a master of evil, Darth. [lightsabers clash]
C-3PO: I would much rather have gone with Master Luke than stay here with you. I don't know what all this trouble is about, but I'm sure it must be your fault. [R2 beeps an angry response] C-3PO: You watch your language!
Luke Skywalker: I'm Luke Skywalker. I'm here to rescue you. Princess Leia Organa: You're who? Luke Skywalker: I'm here to rescue you. I've got your R2 unit. I'm here with Ben Kenobi. Princess Leia Organa: Ben Kenobi? Where is he? Luke Skywalker: Come...
Luke Skywalker: There's something alive in here. Han Solo: That's your imagination. Luke Skywalker: Something just moved passed my leg. [sees a tentacle in the water] Luke Skywalker: Look! Did you see that? Han Solo: What? [the tentacle grabs Luke an...
Luke Skywalker: [the red R2 unit blows its top] Uncle Owen! Uncle Owen: [looks up from paying the Jawa] Yeah? Luke Skywalker: This R2 unit has a bad motivator, look! Uncle Owen: [to Jawa] Hey, what are you trying to push on us?
Tom Conlon: I'm serious. We train. That's it. I don't wanna hear a word about anything but training, you understand? You wanna tell your war stories, you can take 'em down to the VFW. You can take 'em to a meeting, or church, or wherever the hell it ...
The story being told in 'Star Wars' is a classic one. Every few hundred years, the story is retold because we have a tendency to do the same things over and over again. Power corrupts, and when you're in charge, you start doing things that you think ...
My first encounter with science fiction was reading the work of H.G. Wells when I was nine or ten, and I don't believe 'The War of the Worlds' or 'The Time Machine' have ever been bettered. Plus, I have always had a liking for Victorian and Edwardian...
Unfortunately, given the rules of the American political game, people who try to participate by self-righteously refusing to identify with one or the other of the two parties are like people who say they love to play baseball but refuse to join a tea...
From my childhood, I remember a tiny old woman named Mary, made pale and almost translucent by time. Mary's childhood memories extended back to the confusing and violent finale of the Civil War, and she told stories of brutal murders in those days an...
Like many traditional feminists, I became one of the boys, only better. For a while it gave me a buzz to win at their game, but ultimately, that kind of power just goes nowhere. Traditional feminism excludes men and so perpetuates conflict. I am not ...
Virgil: [to the Alien] How do you know they're really gonna do it? Where do you get off passing judgment on us? You can't be sure. How do you know? [the aliens show him gruesome footage of war and conflict; Bud bows his head]
Ted Striker: It's Lieutenant Hurwitz. Severe shell-shock. Thinks he's Ethel Merman. Lieutenant Hurwitz: [singing] You'll be swell, you'll be great. Gonna have the whole world on a plate. Startin' here, startin' now. Honey, everything's comin' up rose...
But what are a hundred million deaths? When one has served in a war, one hardly knows what a dead man is, after a while. And since a dead man has no substance unless one has actually seen him dead, a hundred million corpses broadcast through history ...
