Favorite movie quotes

John: That's a reflex answer because you view the question as hypothetical. But let's say that there was real money backing it up. I'm not kidding. A million dollars. The night would come and go but the money could last a lifetime. Think of it. A million dollars. A lifetime of security... for one night. Don't answer right away. Just consider it; seriously?

Indecent Proposal
 
Aunt Martha: For a gallon of elderberry wine, I take one teaspoon full of arsenic, then add half a teaspoon full of strychnine, and then just a pinch of cyanide.
Mortimer Brewster: Hmm. Should have quite a kick.

Is there a better line to introduce an antagonist?
Not a single line, but... You gotta imagine this monologue being delivered while someone is butchering a hog.
Bernard, did you ever hear me argue with your dad about the best way to train a dog? There was a time I thought that pain... was the only thing a dog remembers. But it was your daddy who taught me a dog also remembers when you elect not to hurt him. And if you can get your dog to not just remember, but to learn from the not hurting, then he's yours for life.

But some dogs, though, they take you not giving them the hurt that they deserve as weakness. And after that first pass, well, they can't ever be taught. You got no choice but to put that dog down.

You ever see what happens when you put too much lye in the scalding water? Well, it burns off the hair, and the hog's skin besides.

Now, I'm gonna give you a choice, Bernard. I can pour some of this here on the back of your hand, see, turn the heat on the pressure hose up near boilin', and then we'll take this hand and we stick it under the stream until I decide we square. Then we take your hand out, pour on some vinegar, and hope that lye hasn't eaten down to the bone. Or you promise me that you will never fail me again in any capacity, and we can all go on back about our evening.

Now before you choose, I'm gonna tell you what. That first way hurt like nothing that you ain't never felt, but it'll square us. Second way doesn't hurt but it'll mean the next time you screw up, I'll have to take that as a sign... that you don't respect me anymore.

Now, can I assume from your face that you're choosing door number two?
 
Oh, yes. As a matter of fact I saw him on the stage when I was in Warsaw once before the war. What he did to Shakespeare we are now doing to Poland.

--To Be or Not to Be 1942
 
Professor Van Helsing: Ja, she was in great pain. Then we cut off her head and drove a stake through her heart and burned it and then she found peace.

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)
 
Everyone has an Angel. A Guardian who watches over us. We can't know what form they'll take. One day, old man. Next day, little girl. But don't let appearances fool you, they can be as fierce as any dragon. Yet they're not here to fight our battles, but to whisper from our heart. Reminding that it's us. Its everyone of us who holds power over the world we create.

Men have got an unspoken telepathy, a biological connection between male psyches. Whether they know each other or not, put a group of them together, always the same. Should we show him, Tim?

Kat Stratford: We're going now.
Walter Stratford: Alright, wait a minute. No drinking, no drugs, no kissing, no tattoos, no piercings, *no* ritual animal slaughters of any kind. Oh, God, I'm giving them ideas.

10 Things I hate about you
 
In ancient times, hundreds of years before the dawn of history, lived an ancient race of people. The Druids. No one knows who they were... or... what... they were doing...

"First of all, Papa Smurf didn't create Smurfette. Gargamel did. She was sent in as Gargamel's evil spy with the intention of destroying the Smurf village, but the overwhelming goodness of the Smurf way of life transformed her. And as for the whole gang-bang scenario, it just couldn't happen. Smurfs are asexual. They don't even have reproductive organs under those little white pants. That's what's so illogical, you know, about being a Smurf. What's the point of living if you don't have a dick?" —Donnie Darko (Jake Gyllenhaal), Donnie Darko
 
Hutch Mansell: Now on the one hand, there's a long dormant piece of me, now awake, that wants so very badly to play this out. The other, more reasonable piece of me, what's left of it, would like to end our little tete-a-tete right now. What's done is done. After all, we can both rebuild, right?
Yulian Kuznetsov: Right. Mm, wait. Rebuild?
Hutch Mansell: I burned it... all of it.
Yulian Kuznetsov: What all?
Hutch Mansell: Everything you have... had! Everything you had.

Hutch Mansell: There are three types of people who, as you say, flash cheese: people who don't know any better, people who are seeking to intimidate, and people like me who wish with every fiber of their being that someone would try and take it from them.
