[Ellie challenges Palmer to prove the existence of God]
Palmer: Did you love your father?
Ellie: Yes, of course.
Palmer: Prove it.
Ellie: Dad, do you think there's people on other planets?
Ted: I don't know, Sparks. But I guess I'd say if it is just us... seems like an awful waste of space.
Palmer: I'm not against technology, doctor. I'm against the men who deify it at the expense of human truth.
S. R. Hadden: Why build one when you can build two for twice the price?
Palmer Joss: We shop at home, we surf the Web, at the same time we're emptier.
Vizzini: Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me...
Buttercup: We'll never survive!
Westley: Nonsense! you're only saying that because no one ever has.

Westley: You mean you wish to surrender to me? Very well, I accept...
Inigo Montoya: Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
Fezzik: You just shook your head. That doesn't make you happy?
Westley: My brains, his steel, and your strength against sixty men and you think a little head jiggle is supposed to make me happy? Hmm?...
Westley: Life is pain highness... anyone who tells you different is selling something.
Westley: as you wish...
Westley: We are men of action, lies do not become us.
Westley: You mean you'll put down your rock and I'll put down my sword and we'll kill each other like civilized people?
Inigo: Let me explain...No there is too much... Let me sum up...
Scar: Well, forgive me for not leaping for joy. Bad back, you know.
Pumbaa: Timon, ever wonder what those sparkly dots are up there?
Timon: Pumbaa, I don't wonder; I know.
Pumbaa: Oh. What are they?
Timon: They're fireflies, fireflies that got stuck up in that big bluish-black thing.
Pumbaa: Oh, gee. I always thought they were balls of gas burning billions of miles away.
Timon: Pumbaa, with you, everything's gas.
Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
Ian Malcolm: God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs...

Cameron Poe: I'm glad you told me.
Cameron Poe: Somehow they managed to get every creep and freak in the universe on this one plane.
Garland Greene: Define irony: a bunch of idiots dancing around on a plane to a song by a group that died in a plane crash.
Cameron Poe: There's only two men I trust. One is me. The other is not you.
Jean Rasczak: Everyone fights, no one quits. If you don't do your job, I'll shoot you myself.
[After Rico gets a Dear John from Carmen.]
Ace Levy: Ain't it great how they want to be your friend right after they rip your guts out?
George Downes: It's amazing the clarity that comes with psychotic jealousy.
George Downes: You're probably drumming your nails on that white linen tablecloth, thinking, "I should have taken time off of all my evil plotting to get that manicure."
Julianne Potter: You're going to humiliate me, aren't you?
George Downes: Only if I can.
For the good of all men, and the love of one woman, he fought to
uphold justice by breaking the law.
Azeem: I once heard a wise man say there are no perfect men. Only perfect intentions.
Azeem: The hospitality in this country is as warm as the weather.
Sheriff of Nottingham: Wait a minute. Robin Hood steals money from my pocket, forcing me to hurt the public, and they love him for it? [Scribe nods] That's it then.
Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas!

Sebastian: Will you get your head out of the clouds and in the water where it belongs.
Ferris: A) You can never go too far and B) if I'm going to get caught, it's not going to be by a guy like that.
Ferris: Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.
Simone: Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.
Sloan: What are we going to do?
Ferris: The question isn't "what are we going to do," the question is "what aren't we going to do?"
Austin Powers: "There are only two things in this world that scares me and one is nuclear war.
Basil: What's the other?
Austin Powers: Huh?
Basil: What's the other thing that scares you?
Austin Powers: Carnies. Circus folk. Filthy buggers they smell like cabbage.
Paddy O'Brien: They're always after me lucky charms.
U.N. Representative: So, Mr. Evil-
Dr. Evil: It's Dr. Evil, I didn't spend six years in Evil Medical School to be called "mister," thank you very much.
The Terminator: It's in your nature to destroy yourselves.
Baby Houseman: Me? I'm scared of everything! I'm scared of what I saw, I'm scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you!
There is no gene for the human spirit.
Vincent: They used to say that "a child conceived in love is a child of happiness." They don't say that any more.
Vincent: We now have discrimination down to a science.
The Future is History
Jeffrey Goines: There is no such thing as right and wrong, there's just popular opinion.
Goines: There's the television. It's all right there. It's all right there. Look. Listen. Kneel. Pray. Commercials.
Goines: Take germs for example.
Cole: Germs?
Goines: Uh-huh. Eighteenth century, no such thing. Notta. Nothing. No one ever imagined such a thing. No sane person. Ah-uh-huh. Along comes this doctor ah-ah-ah Simulice, Simulice. Simulice comes along. He's trying to convince people, well doctors mainly, that's there's teen, tiny invisible bad things called "germs" that get into your body and make you sick. He's trying to get doctors to wash their hands. What is this guy? Crazy? Teeny, tiny, invisible? What do they call it? Uh-uh, germs? Huh? What? Now, up to the 20th century, last week, as a matter of fact (before I got dragged into this hellhole). I go in to order a burger at this fast food joint, and the guy drops it on the floor. James, he picks it up, wipes it off. He hands it to me like it's all o-k. "What about the germs?" I say. He says, "I don't believe in germs. Germs is a plot made up so they could sell disinfectants and soaps." Now he's crazy, right?
[Sound of Cole eating the spider.]
Marcus: This is bad. No, let me call it what is. This is fucked up!
Maligant: Self-sacrifice is very easy. It's having to sacrifice someone you love that puts your convictions to the test.
King Arthur: Only a fool wants what he can not have.
Genii: Three wishes - no substitutions, exchanges or refunds.

Kat: What's it like to die?
Casper: It's like being born, only backwards.
K:
There are approximately 1500 aliens in Manhattan.
J:
Cab drivers?
K:
Not as many as you think.
James Edwards:
Freeze means don't move!
Jay: We should contact Dennis Rodman, he's from that planet.
Elle:
Rodman? You're kidding!. . .Not a very good disguise.
Agent K:
1500 years ago, everybody "knew" that the earth was the center of the universe. 500 years ago, everybody "knew" that the earth was flat. And 15 minutes ago, you "knew" that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll "know" tomorrow.
J:
This has GOT to be a nine-point-oh on my weird-shit-o-meter.
Everything you create, you use to destroy.
Yeah, we call it human nature.
The truth is out there.
All lies lead to the truth.
I Want to Believe.
We rely on others to inform us... but we must always decide the
truth for ourselves.
If we measure the value of life simply by our dread of dying, it
may well be that we have no sense of its value at all.
To be human is to choose.
The first victim of war is truth
Jake Brigance: What is it in us that seeks the truth? Is it our minds or is it our hearts?
