Juno MacGuff: The funny thing is that Steve Rendazo secretly wants me. Jocks like him always want freaky girls. Girls with horn-rimmed glasses and vegan footwear and Goth makeup. Girls who play the cello and wear Converse All-Stars and want to be chi...
Roger Strong: Frank, would you like to say grace? [Long pause] Roger Strong: Unless you're not comfortable. Frank Abagnale, Jr.: Absolutely. Two little mice fell into a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned, but the second mous...
The Joker: I want... my phone call. I want it. I want it! I want my phone call! Detective Stephens: That's nice. The Joker: How many of your friends have I killed? Detective Stephens: I'm a twenty-year man. I can tell the difference between punks who...
Stephen: [singing] In the sweet by and by, we shall meet on that beautiful shore. In the sweet by and by, we shall meet on that beautiful shore... [continues signing] Stephen: In the sweet... Django: [Django appears and starts singing] By and by... O...
Django: [Django shoots Billy Crash in the arm; he falls to the floor injured and wailing] Billy Crash! [pause] Django: Now, where were we? Oh... that's right! Last time I saw you, you had your hands around my- [Django shoots Billy Crash in the genita...
Ferris: [his recorded message for the doorbell] Who is it? [pause] Ferris: Oh, I'm sorry. I can't come to the door right now. I'm afraid that in my weakened condition, I could take a nasty spill down the stairs and subject myself to further school ab...
[calling the police about an intruder] Jeannie: There is an intruder - male, Caucasian, possibly armed, certainly weird - in my kitchen... M-my-my-my name is Bueller... [pause] Jeannie: Look, it's real nice that you hope my brother is feeling better,...
Dr Ray Stantz: Everything was fine with our system until the power grid was shut off by dickless here. Walter Peck: They caused an explosion! Mayor: Is this true? Dr. Peter Venkman: Yes it's true. [pause] Dr. Peter Venkman: This man has no dick. Walt...
Dr. Peter Venkman: Janine, any calls? Janine Melnitz: No. Dr. Peter Venkman: Any messages? Janine Melnitz: No. Dr. Peter Venkman: Any customers? Janine Melnitz: No, Dr. Venkman. Dr. Peter Venkman: It's a good job, huh? [she smiles] Dr. Peter Venkman:...
Colonel Robert G. Shaw: Sgt. Mulcahy! Sgt. Mulcahy: Sir! Colonel Robert G. Shaw: I have no doubt you a fair man, Mulcahy. I wonder if you are treating the men a little hard. [Sgt. Mulcahy pauses] Colonel Robert G. Shaw: You may speak freely. Sgt. Mul...
[interviewing Louie for information about Ghost Dog] Sonny Valerio: Where's he live? Louie: Fuck, if I know. That's the next strange thing. I mean, I can't just call him up. Instead, he contacts me every day through a bird. [pause] Sonny Valerio: Did...
Ginny Weasley: [Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville have entered the Room of Requirement] Harry! Harry Potter: Hi there. [pauses waiting for a response from Ginny, then addresses Hermione] Ron Weasley: Six months she hadn't see me, it's like I'm a Fran...
Gobber: [about riding baby dragons inside an ice mountain] Some might suggest this is poorly conceived! Hiccup: Well, it's a good thing that I never listen. [an ice wall splits them up] Gobber: Whoa! So... [he pauses for the ice wall] Gobber: ... wha...
Paul Rusesabagina: I am glad that you have shot this footage and that the world will see it. It is the only way we have a chance that people might intervene. Jack: Yeah and if no one intervenes, is it still a good thing to show? Paul Rusesabagina: Ho...
Billy Mack: I realized that Christmas is... is the time to be with the people you love. Joe: Right. Billy Mack: And I realized that, as dire chance and... and... and fateful cockup would have it, here I am, mid-50s, and without knowing it I've gone a...
Matthias: [Answering the summons of the door] My legs are old and bent, my ears are grizzled, yes? Centurion: There's one place we didn't look. Guards! [the guards troop into the house] Matthias: ...Nose is knackered. Centurion: Have you ever seen an...
Scuttle: You see the snarfblatt dates back to pre-hysterical times when humans would sit around and stare at each other all day. [long pause] Scuttle: got very boring. So they invented this snarfblatt to make fine music, allow me! [Attempts to blow t...
Gaston: You see that house? That is where I was born. My mother said to me, "Garcon. The world is a beautiful place, and you must spread joy and contentment everywhere you go". And so I became a waiter... Well, I know it is not a great philosophy but...
Lara Anderton: [starts fixing Lamar's bow tie] Lamar Burgess: Listen, I'll tell you what I'll do. First thing Monday, I'll look over the Witwer evidence. And I'll have Gideon run the Containment files, see if anyone drowned a woman by the name of - w...
Herb Brooks: What the hell is wrong with you? Put your gear on. [pause] Herb Brooks: I said put your gear on! Rob McClanahan: But Doc said I can't play Herb Brooks: Yeah I know you got a bad bruise. You know what, put your street clothes on because I...
