Professor Henry Jones: The quest for the grail is not archeology, it's a race against evil. If it is captured by the Nazis the armies of darkness will march all over the face of the earth. Do you understand me? Indiana Jones: This is an obsession, Da...
[last lines] [Director's Expanded Edition] Chingachgook: The frontier moves with the sun and pushes the Red Man of these wilderness forests in front of it until one day there will be nowhere left. Then our race will be no more, or be not us. Hawkeye:...
Saul: I saw you at the paddock... before the second race, outside the men's room when I placed my bet. Saul: I saw you before you even got up this morning. Rusty: How you been, Saul? Saul: Never Better. Rusty: What's with the orange? Saul: My doctor ...

Crash: This song is called "I Am So Sad. I Am So Very Very Sad." It goes like this. Crash: [the song last only a couple of seconds] Thank you. Wallace Wells: [yelling out] It's not a race, guys! Crash: [annoyed] Ok this next song goes out to the guy ...
What good does it do me, after all, if an ever-watchful authority keeps an eye out to ensure that my pleasures will be tranquil and races ahead of me to ward off all danger, sparing me the need even to think about such things, if that authority, even...
We need an enemy to give people hope. Someone said that patriotism is the last refuge of cowards: those without moral principles usually wrap a flag around themselves, and the bastards always talk about the purity of the race. National identity is th...
Neither the cat nor I missed you while you were gone. It's worse than that. We danced the visitor-gone dance, flinging our feet (and paws) with particular glee. You remember the dance - the one you do after shutting the door behind a difficult visito...
I am sure I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round -- apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin, if anything belonging to it can be apart from that -- as a good time: a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant ti...
