Straight to the Lines from Movies ...

Movie: Our Lips Are Sealed(2000)


Mac:
That is *so* eighties!



Movie: Half Nelson(2006)


Dan:
[after watching Mario Savio's speech about The Machine] What is this machine that he's walking about? It's keeping us down, what is it?


Jamal:
Like, robots and stuff, right?

Dan:
Umm... it could be robots. It could be robots, but let's say it's a metaphor. He's saying this machine is keeping you down. Now, what is that? What keeps us from being free? Ms. Drey?

Drey:
Prisons.

Dan:
Absolutely. Absolutely, prisons. OK? Prisons are definitely a part of it. What else?

Terrence:
White!

Dan:
White is definitely a part of it. The Man.

Student:
The school.

Dan:
The school, exactly. The whole-the whole education system is part of the machine. What else?

Student:
Aren't you the machine then?


Dan:
Oh, no, you didn't. What'd you say?

Student:
Aren't you the machine?

Dan:
You're saying I'm the machine?

Student:
Yeah, you're white. You're part of the school.

Dan:
Oh, yeah, I guess you've got a point. All right, so I'm part of the machine. But if I'm part of it, then so are you. You are, too. We all are. And this is the thing, remember? Everything is made with opposing force. We may be opposed to the machine, but we're still very much a part of it, right? I work for the government, the school, but I'm also very much opposed to a lot of its policies. You guys hate coming to school, right? Holler back if you heard me! You hate it, but you come anyway. Sometimes. Exactly.



Movie: E poi lo chiamarono il magnifico(1972)


Holy Joe:
[reading the Englishman's last letter] I don't know whether I'll find rich green grass or tough weeds up there. But, if there's rich grass, praise be to God! If there's nothing but weeds... praise be to God. The only thing I'll miss is your friendship. For the rest, I have no regrets.



Movie: Major League(1989)


Lou Brown:
I thought you said we didn't have any high priced talent.

Charlie Donovan:
Forget about Dorn, he's just high priced.

Pepper Leach:
[Vaughn pulls up on a motorcycle] Look at this fuckin'guy.


Lou Brown:
My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team.



Movie: The Da Vinci Code(2006)


Robert Langdon:
So dark the con of man...



Movie: Palindromes(2004)


Joyce Victor:
Am I terrible mother?

'Mark' Aviva Victor:
Everybody makes mistakes...



Movie: Baby Doll(1956)


Baby Doll:
Well, let's go in now. We got nothing to do but wait for tomorrow and see if we're remembered or forgotten.



Movie: Ultimate Avengers II (V)(2006)


General Nick Fury:
This one needs a clear head in the lead, Captain. You're carrying too much baggage. Widow, you'll be in command.

Hank Pym:
Demoted. I guess that makes him Private America, huh?



Movie: Magic Island (V)(1995)


Prince Morgan:
['Mad' Jack's stereo plays loud music] What be that noise, captain?

Blackbeard:
What?

Prince Morgan:
I said, "What BE that noise?"


Blackbeard:
What?

Prince Morgan:
[Music stops, yells] I said, "WHAT BE THAT INFERNAL RACKET?

Blackbeard:
[yells back] THAT'D BE YOU YELLIN' IN ME EAR!



Movie: The Opposite of Sex(1998)


Randy:
I'm just askin' that you stand by your man, like I'm standin' next to you! You know, a lot of guys, man, they woulda said that, "Shucks, man, she took up with them homosexuals. You know, she turned her back on righteousness."

Dedee:
Oh, yeah, but blowing you in the backseat of your car every day after band, that was a stairway to heaven, right?



Movie: Halo (VG)(2001)


343 Guilty Spark:
Why naturally the Flood is simply too dangerous to release, and mass sterilization protocols may again need to be enacted. Of course, samples were kept here after the last catastrophic outbreak... for study. It seems... that decision may have been an error.
