The Treasure of the Sierra Madre

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is a 1948 film about two American vagrants in 1920s Mexico who hook up with an old-timer to prospect for gold.
 * Written and directed by John Huston, based on the novel by B. Traven.

The more he yearns for a woman's arms... the fiercer he lusts for the treasure that cursed them all! taglines

Fred C. Dobbs

 * [Repeated line] Can you stake a fellow American to a meal?
 * If I was a native, I'd get me a can of shoe polish and I'd be in business. They'd never let a gringo. You can sit on a bench til you're three-quarters starved. You can beg from another gringo. You can even commit burglary. But try shining shoes in the street or peddling lemonade out of a bucket and your hash is settled. You'd never get another job from an American.
 * [to Curtin] Why not try gold diggin' for a change? Well, it ain't any riskier than waitin' around here for a break. And this is the country where the nuggets of gold are just cryin' for ya to take 'em out of the ground and make 'em shine in coins and on the fingers and necks of swell dames. Our money would last longer while we lived out in the open. The longer it lasts, the greater our chance of diggin' something up would be!
 * [about his winning ticket] I'm rich, printed number! That's the kind of sugar Papa likes. Oh, two hundred pesos! Welcome, sweet little smackeroos.
 * [to Curtin] This is an all-or-nothing proposition, ain't it? If we make a find, we'll be lightin' our cigars with hundred dollar bills. If we don't, the difference between what you put up and what I put up ain't enough to keep me from being right back where I was this afternoon, polishing a bench with the seat of my pants. Put 'er there, pard.
 * That bandit with the Gold Hat that rode alongside the train - I had my sights on him nice as you please, but the train gave a jolt and I missed him. Sure wish I'd got him.
 * I sure had some cockeyed ideas about prospectin' for gold. It was all in the finding I thought. I thought all you had to do was find it, pick it up, put it in sacks, and carry 'em off to the nearest bank.
 * Well sure! You're old...I'm young. I need dough and plenty of it.
 * You can't catch me sleepin'...Don't you ever believe that. I'm not that dumb. The day you try to put anything over on me will be a costly one for both of you...Any more lip out of you and I'll haul off and let ya have it. If ya know what's good for ya, ya won't monkey around with Fred C. Dobbs.
 * [about Cody] Fred C. Dobbs ain't a guy likes bein' taken advantage of - do the mug in, I say!
 * [after Cody is killed by the bandits] One less gun.
 * Here's a sight if there ever was one. Federales, look at 'em. I could kiss every one of 'em...Oh, go get 'em. Sic 'em Tiger! Chew 'em up and don't spit 'em out - swallow 'em. Oh am I happy. To tell you the truth, I was already eatin' dirt.
 * [to Howard] I'll let you remember this the next time you try to do a good deed!
 * [to Curtin, about Howard] Ain't it always his burros that won't march in line...What was in your head when you offered to carry his goods for him that he couldn't manage by himself. He knew what he was doin' when he turned 'em over to us. Mighty cute of him, wasn't it?
 * [about Curtin] Maybe I didn't kill him. Maybe he just staggered and fell down without being hit.
 * Conscience. What a thing. If you believe you've got a conscience, it'll pester you to death. But if you don't believe you've got one, what can it do to ya? Makes me sick all this talking and fussing about nonsense.
 * [about Curtin] Maybe I'd better leave him like he is. Ain't very likely anybody will find him. In a week's time, the buzzards and the ants will have done away with him anyway. [A tiger's cry startles him.] I don't know what's getting into me. Was that really a tiger? No. What if his eyes are open, looking at me? Best thing to do is to get to the railroad in a hurry. It's better not to have buried him. I did right, yeah! What I should have done, maybe, bury his clothes and leave him to the ants and the buzzards...Buzzards! If somebody saw them circling, they'd know something was dead. Buzzards ain't spotted him yet. Lucky for me. [He runs back, but cannot find Curtin's body.] Curtin! Curtin! Curtin! Where are you? Curtin! I gotta get ahold of myself! Mustn't lose my head. There's one thing certain, he ain't here. I got it. The tiger. Yeah, yeah that's it. The tiger must have dragged him off to his lair, that's what. Yeah, pretty soon, not even the bones will be left to tell the story. Done as if by order!

Howard

 * Of course I'll go. Any time, any day. I was only waiting for one or two guys to ask me. Out for gold? Always at your service.
 * Meat's one thing and bandit's another. Bandit country is where we'll be going. We ought to have six hundred bucks between us.
 * We gotta go where there's no trails at all - where you can be positive that no surveyor or anybody who knows anything about prospectin' has ever been there before.
 * Now here's where we're bound for - hereabouts. It don't show properly whether it's mountain, swamp, or desert. That shows the makers of the map themselves don't know for sure. Now once on the ground, all we got to do is open our eyes and look around. Yeah, and blow our noses too. Believe it or not, I knew a feller once who could smell gold just like a jackass can smell water.
 * [translating for a shopkeeper] We're going into the country that's very wild and dangerous. Have to cut our way through jungles and climb mountains so high that rise above the clouds. With tigers so big and strong they can climb trees with burros in their mouths...Good! Glad to hear such tall tales 'cause that means mighty few outsiders have ever set foot there.
 * [about Dobbs and Curtin's "find"] This stuff wouldn't pay you dinner for a carload. Next time you fellas strike it rich, holler for me, will ya, before you start splashing water around. Water's precious. Sometimes it can be more precious than gold.
 * [To Dobbs and Curtin, who are collapsed on the ground, too tired to eat] Hey you fellas, how about some beans? Ya want some beans? Goin' through some mighty rough country tomorrow - you better have some beans!
 * Well, how does it feel, you fellers, to be men of property?
 * It's come around to me again, but I won't take my turn if you guys'll stop worryin' about your goods and go to bed. We've got work to do tomorrow.
 * [about the Indian chief, whose son he saved] He's insisting we return with him to his village and be his guests...He says if he doesn't pay off his debt, all the saints in heaven will be angry. [Dobbs laughs] This is no laughing matter. I'm afraid he's determined to take us with him, even if it means force.
 * [to Curtin] Mr. Dobbs has made off with our goods and is on his way north. Well, I reckon we can't blame him too much...He's not a real killer as killer's go. I think he's as honest as the next fella - or almost. The big mistake was leaving you two fellas out there in the depths of the wilderness with more'n a hundred thousand between ya. That's a mighty big temptation, partner, believe me...Maybe if I'd've been young and been out there with either one of you, I might have been tempted too.
 * [about their gold dust being scattered by the wind] Oh laugh, Curtin, old boy. It's a great joke played on us by the Lord, or fate, or nature, whatever you prefer. But whoever or whatever played it certainly had a sense of humor! Ha! The gold has gone back to where we found it!... This is worth ten months of suffering and labor - this joke is!
 * That's the gold. That's what it makes of us.

Bob Curtin

 * OK, I'm a liar. There isn't a Gila monster under there. Let's see you stick your hand in and get your goods out...Reach in and get your goods. If you don't we'll think you're yella, won't we, Howard? They never let go, do they Howard, once they grab onto you? You cut 'em in two and the head'll still hang on until sundown, I hear. By that time, the victim doesn't usually care 'cause he's dead anyway. Isn't that right, Howard?...What's the matter, Dobbsie? Why don't you stick your hand right in and get your treasure? It couldn't be because you're scared to, could it, after the way you've been shooting your mouth off. Show us you ain't yella, Dobbsie. I'd hate to think that my partner had a yellow streak up his back.

James Cody

 * It seems between 'em they had a diamond ring, pearl earrings, and quite a lot of money, and a railway ticket with the date of the Agua Caliente train robbery on it. They've been here several days, drinking and shooting off their cannons so that the villagers are afraid to stick their noses out of their huts.
 * You know, the Federales don't operate in our American way. They aren't fingerprint experts, that is, but they can follow any trail, and against them, no hideout's any use. They know all the tricks of the bandits. Yep, you can bet your sweet soul they'll trace down every last one of that group that attacked the train. It'll take time - months maybe - but they'll do it.
 * [to Curtin] Not many Americans get around this way. You're the first one I've bumped into for a long time.
 * [to Curtin] I've a hunch there's loads of the real goods up in those mountains...I can look at a hillside miles away and tell you whether it carries an ounce or a shipload...If you haven't found anything up there yet, I'll come along with ya and put your nose in it. There's indications in this valley, lots of indications. By tracing the rocks, I find they come from that ridge up there, washed down by the tropical rain...
 * [to Curtin] I meant what I said about going along with you. Those are my two burros. I'm all packed up and ready to start if you'll let me go with you back to your camp.
 * I mean to stay right here. The brush and the mountains are free, aren't they?...Whatever you say or don't say, tomorrow I start to dig for gold here.
 * Oh, I know very well you guys could bump me off any minute you wish, but that's a risk worth running, considering the stakes. Let's lay all our cards on the table. As I see it, you guys have got to do one of three things: kill me, run me off, or take me in with you as a partner. Let's consider the first. Another guy may come along tomorrow or maybe a dozen other guys. You start bumping people off, just how far are you prepared to go with it? Ask yourselves that. Also, don't forget, the one actually to do the bumping off would forever be in the power of the other two. The only safe way would be for all three of you to drag out your cannons and bang away at the same instant like a firing squad...As for choice number two, if you run me off, I might very well inform on you...Twenty-five percent of the value of your find is the reward I'd get paid and that would be tempting, mighty tempting...Let's see what number three has to offer. If you take me in with you as a partner, you don't stand to lose anything. I will not ask to share in what you've made so far, only in the profits to come. Well, what do you say?
 * [as Dobbs and Curtin come to shoot him] Better take a look down that hill first...They're not soldiers, they're bandits and they're not after gold, but after guns and ammunition. Someone in the village must have told them about the American hunter up here.

Others

 * Train conductor: Big boulder on the track so train stop. Bandits get big surprise because soldiers on the train waiting for them - not many passengers got killed.
 * Gold Hat: [to Dobbs] Hey, do I know you from some place? Maybe I know you?...Are you alone?...I know who you are! You're the guy in the hole - the one who wouldn't give us the rifle - hah, hah, hah, hah.
 * Gold Hat: [About to be executed] Permiso, teniente, me agarre mi sombrero? (Permission, Lieutenant, to grab my hat?)

Dialogue

 * White Suit: Such impudence never came my way. Early this afternoon I gave you money. When I was having my shoes polished, I gave you more money. Now you put the bite on me again. Do me a favor, will ya? Go occasionally to somebody else. It's beginning to get tiresome.
 * Dobbs: Oh, excuse me, mister. I never knowed it was you. I never looked at your face. I just looked at your hands and the money you gave me. Beg my pardon, mister. I promise I'll never put the bite on you again.
 * White Suit: [He hands over a peso] This is the very last you get from me. Just to make sure you don't forget your promise, here's another peso. But from now on, you have to make your way through life without my assistance.

 * Howard: Gold in Mexico? Why sure there is. Not ten days from here by rail and pack train, there's a mountain waiting for the right guy to come along, discover a treasure, and then tickle her until she lets him have it. The question is, are you the right guy?...Aw, real bonanzas are few and far between that take a lot of finding. Say, answer me this one, will ya? Why's gold worth some twenty bucks an ounce?
 * Man: I don't know. 'Cause it's scarce.
 * Howard: A thousand men, say, go searching for gold. After six months, one of 'em is lucky - one out of the thousand. His find represents not only his own labor but that of nine hundred and ninety-nine others to boot. That's uh, six thousand months or five hundred years scrabbling over mountains, going hungry and thirsty. An ounce of gold, mister, is worth what it is because of the human labor that went into the finding and the getting of it.
 * Man: Never thought of it just like that...
 * Howard: Well, there's no other explanation, mister. Gold itself ain't good for nothin' except makin' jewelry with and gold teeth. Aw, gold's a devilish sort of a thing anyway. You start out to tell yourself you'll be satisfied with twenty-five thousand handsome smackers worth of it, 'so help me Lord and cross my heart.' Fine resolution. After months of sweatin' yourself dizzy and growing short on provisions and findin' nothin', you finally come down to fifteen thousand and then ten, finally you say, 'Lord, let me just find five thousand dollars worth and never ask for anything more the rest of my life.'...Here in this joint, it seems like a lot, but I tell you, if you was to make a real strike, you couldn't be dragged away. Not even the threat of miserable death'd keep you from trying to add ten thousand more. Ten you want to get twenty-five. Twenty-five you want to get fifty. Fifty, a hundred. Like roulette. One more turn, you know, always one more.
 * Dobbs: It wouldn't be that way with me. I swear it wouldn't. I'd take only what I set out to get, even if there was still a half a million dollars worth lying around waitin' to be picked up.
 * Howard: I've dug in Alaska and in Canada and Colorado. I was with the crowd in British Honduras where I made my fare back home and almost enough over to cure me of the fever I'd caught. I've dug in California and Australia, all over the world practically. Yeah, I know what gold does to men's souls.
 * Man: You talk as though you struck it rich sometime or other, Pop. How about it? Then what are you doin' in here, a down-and-outer?
 * Howard: That's gold, that's what it makes of us. Never knew a prospector yet that died rich. Make one fortune, you're sure to blow it in trying to find another. I'm no exception to the rule. Aw sure, I'm an odd old bone now, but say, don't you guys think the spirit's gone. I'm all set to shoulder a pickax and a shovel any time anybody's willing to share expenses. I'd rather go by myself. Going it alone's the best way. But you got to have a stomach for loneliness. Some guys go nutty with it. On the other hand, going with a partner or two is dangerous. Murder's always lurkin' about. Partners accusin' each other of all sorts of crimes. Aw, as long as there's no find, the noble brotherhood will last, but when the piles of gold begin to grow, that's when the trouble starts.
 * Curtin: Me, now, I wouldn't mind a little of that kind of trouble.
 * Dobbs: I think I'll go to sleep and dream about piles of gold gettin' bigger and bigger and bigger...

 * Dobbs: Do you believe what that old man who was doin' all the talkin' at the Oso Negro said the other night about gold changin' a man's soul so that he ain't the same kind of a guy that he was before findin' it?
 * Curtin: Guess that all depends on the man.
 * Dobbs: That's exactly what I say. Gold don't carry any curse with it. It all depends on whether or not the guy who finds it is the right guy. The way I see it, gold can be as much of a blessing as a curse.

 * Dobbs: [about Howard] He's too old to take along with us, of course. We'd have to pack him on our backs.
 * Curtin: You can't tell about some of those old guys. It's surprising sometimes how tough they are. I don't know what gold looks like in the ground. I've only seen it in jewelry store windows and people's mouths. Do you know anything about prospectin'?
 * Dobbs: Eh, not much, when you come right down to it.
 * Curtin: We might have real use for an experienced guy like that old-timer.
 * Dobbs: Let's go hunt him up right away.

 * Dobbs: Hey, if there was gold in them mountains, how long would it have been there? Millions and millions of years, wouldn't it? So what's our hurry? A couple of days more or less ain't gonna make any difference.
 * Curtin: Remember what you said back in Tampico about having to pack an old man on our backs?
 * Dobbs: That was when I took him for an ordinary human being - not part goat. Look at him climb, will ya?
 * Curtin: What gets me is how he can go all day long in the sun without any water.
 * Dobbs: Maybe he's part camel too.
 * Curtin: If I'd known what prospecting meant, I'd have stayed in Tampico and waited for another job to turn up.

 * Dobbs: You know what I'm thinkin'. I'm thinkin' we ought to give up. Leave the whole outfit - everything behind and go back to civilization.
 * Howard: What's that you say? Go back? Ha, ha. Well, tell my old grandmother! I've got two very elegant bedfellows who kick at the first drop of rain and hide in the closet when thunder rumbles. My, my, my, what great prospectors, two shoe clerks readin' a magazine about prospectin' for gold in the land of the midnight sun, south of the border, or west of the Rockies, ha, ha, ha...
 * Dobbs: [picking up a rock] Shut your trap! Shut up or I'll smash your head flat.
 * Howard: Go ahead, go ahead, throw it. If you did, you'd never leave this wilderness alive. Without me, you two would die here more miserable than rats.
 * Curtin: [to Dobbs] Aw, leave him alone. Can't you see the old man's nuts?
 * Howard: Let me tell you something, my two fine bedfellows, you're so dumb, there's nothin' to compare ya with, you're dumber than the dumbest jackass. Look at each other, will ya? Did you ever see anything like yourself for bein' dumb specimens. You're so dumb, you don't even see the riches you're treadin' on with your own feet. Yeah, don't expect to find nuggets of molten gold. It's rich but not that rich. And here ain't the place to dig. It comes from someplace further up. Up there, up there's where we've got to go. UP THERE!

 * Dobbs: It don't look much different from sand...plain sand. It don't glitter - I thought it would glitter.
 * Howard: It'll glitter when it's refined. That's some other guy's job. All we gotta do is mine it and get it back there. You know, gold ain't like stones in a riverbed. It don't cry out to be picked up. You got to know how to recognize it. And the findin' ain't all. Not by a long shot. You got to know how to tickle her, so she'll come out laughin'. Yeah, it's mighty rich. It will pay good.
 * Curtin: How much?
 * Howard: Oh, about twenty ounces to the ton.

 * Dobbs: When are we gonna start dividing it up?
 * Curtin: What the use of dividing it at all? I don't see any point. We're all going back together when the time comes. Why don't we wait until we get paid for the stuff and then just divide up the money?
 * Dobbs: I'm for dividing it up as we go along. Make each guy responsible for his own goods.
 * Howard: Suppose you were charged with takin' care of the goods. One day I'm deep in the bush and Curtin's on his way to the village to get provisions. That'd be your big chance to pack up and leave us in the cold.
 * Dobbs: Only a guy that's a thief at heart would think me likely to do a thing like that!
 * Dobbs: Only a guy that's a thief at heart would think me likely to do a thing like that!

 * Howard: After we save and got a couple of hundred ounces, it'll be a nuisance carryin' little bags hangin' from our necks, and each of us will have to hide his share of the treasure from the other two - and having done so will be forever on the watch that his hiding place is not discovered.
 * Dobbs: What a dirty filthy mind you've got.
 * Howard: Oh no, not dirty, not dirty baby. Only I know what kind of ideas even supposedly decent people get when gold's at stake.

 * Dobbs: I owe my life to you, partner.
 * Curtin: Forget it.

 * Howard: I reckon I'll settle down in some quiet place. Get me a little business...a hardware or grocery store, and spend the better part of my time readin' comic strips and adventure stories. Ha. One thing's for sure. I'm not gonna go prospectin' again and waste my time and money trying to find another gold mine.
 * Curtin: I figure on buying some land and growing fruit - peaches maybe...One summer when I was a kid, I worked as a picker in a peach harvest in the San Joaquin Valley. Boy, it sure was something. Hundreds of people, old and young, whole families workin' together. At night, after a day's work, we used to build big bonfires and sit around and sing to guitar music, till morning sometimes. You'd go to sleep and wake up and sing, and go to sleep again. Everybody had a wonderful time. Ever since then, I've had a hankering to be a fruit grower. Must be grand watching your own trees put on leaves, come into blossom and bear...watching the fruit get big and ripe on the boughs, ready for pickin'...
 * Dobbs: Well, first off, I'm goin' to a Turkish bath and I'm gonna sweat and soak till I get all the grime and dirt out of my system. Then I'm goin' to a haberdasher's and I'm gonna get myself a brand new set of duds...a dozen of everything. Then, I'm goin' to a swell cafe - order everything on the bill of fare, and if it ain't just right, or maybe even if it is, I'm gonna bawl the waiter out and make him take the whole thing back...
 * Curtin: The next thing on the program would be dames.
 * Dobbs: Yeah.
 * Howard: If I were you boys, I wouldn't talk or even think about women. It ain't good for your health.

 * Curtin: There's no use makin' hogs of ourselves.
 * Dobbs: Hog, am I? Maybe you don't know it, but I'd be within my rights if I demanded half again as much as you get.
 * Curtin: How come?
 * Dobbs: There's no denying I put up the lion's share of the cash, is there?
 * Howard: I think it would be wise not to put things strictly on a money basis.
 * [Curtin uses the scales to weigh out a portion of his gold dust (with interest) to repay Dobbs for his bigger share]
 * Dobbs: [flinging the dust away into the fire] I just don't like being called a hog, that's all.

 * Dobbs: Don't get the idea you two are putting anything over on me.
 * Howard: Take it easy, Dobbs.
 * Dobbs: I know what your game is.
 * Howard: Well, you know more than I do.
 * Dobbs: Why am I elected to go to the village? Why me instead of you and Curtin? Oh, don't think I don't see through that! You two have thrown together against me. The two days I'd be gone would give you plenty of time to discover where my goods are, wouldn't it?
 * Howard: Why don't you take your goods along with you?
 * Dobbs: And run the risk of having them taken from me by bandits?
 * Howard: If you was to run into bandits, you'd be out of luck anyway. They'd kill you for the shoes on your feet.
 * Dobbs: Oh, so that's it! Everything's clear now. You're hopin' bandits'll get me. That would save you a lot of trouble, wouldn't it? And your consciences wouldn't bother you none neither.
 * Howard: All right, Dobbs. Forget about it.

 * Cody: I simply couldn't resist the desire to sit around and jaw with an American.
 * Dobbs: We're full up. No vacancies. Understand? And in case I don't make myself clear, I think you'd be doin' yourself a favor by packin' up and gettin' out of here tomorrow morning. Go back where you came from. Take our blessings with ya. [Howard hands Cody a plate for grub]...Help yourself. We don't mind 'cause we don't let guys starve to death. Tonight you're our guest. But tomorrow morning, look out - no trespassin' around here. Ya know - beware the dogs. Get it?

 * Cody: I thought perhaps I was among civilized men who wouldn't begrudge me a little fresh water.
 * Dobbs: WHO'S NOT CIVILIZED?! [punches Cody]

 * Gold Hat: Hola, senor. We are Federales. You know, the mounted police.
 * Dobbs: If you're the police, where are your badges?
 * Gold Hat: [confused, then angry] Badges? We ain't got no badges! We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinkin' badges!
 * Dobbs: You'd better not come any closer.
 * Gold Hat: We aren't trying to do you any harm. Why don't you try to be a little more polite? Give us your gun and we'll leave you in peace.
 * Dobbs: I need my gun myself.
 * Gold Hat: Oh, throw that ol' iron over here. We'll pick it up and go on our way.
 * Dobbs: You go on your way without my gun and go quick!
 * [Dobbs fires a warning shot with his rifle at Gold Hat, piercing a big hole in the top of the bandit's hat]
 * Gold Hat: Look here, amigo. You got the wrong idea. We don't wanna get your gun fer nothin'. We wanna buy it. Look. I have a gold watch with a gold chain, made in your own country. The watch and the chain - they worth at least two hundred pesos - I 'change it fer yer gun. Y'better take it, thatsa good bizness for you!
 * Dobbs: You keep your watch. I'll keep my gun!
 * Gold Hat: O, you keep it? You will keep it? We won't get it?? I'LL SHOW YOU!
 * [Howard aims and blasts the gold watch]
 * Note: the bolded line is ranked #36 in the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 movie quotations in American cinema.

 * Howard: It'll take another week to break down the mine and put the mountain back in shape...Make 'er appear like she was before we came...We've wounded this mountain and it's our duty to close her wounds. It's the least we can do to show our gratitude for all the wealth she's given us. If you guys don't want to help me, I'll do it alone.
 * Curtin: You talk about that mountain like it was a real woman!
 * Dobbs: She's been a lot better to me than any woman I ever knew!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Dobbs: We'll be lonesome without you, but you know my Sunday school teacher used to say, 'You've got to learn to swallow disappointments in this sad life.'
 * Howard: Pick me out a good-looking squaw and marry her. They're easy to dress and feed and entertain. They don't nag at you either. Well, so long partners.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Curtin: You talk like you're boss of this outfit.
 * Dobbs: Maybe you are. Let's hear you say it.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Dobbs: I was just thinkin' what a bonehead play that old jackass made when he put all his goods in our keeping...Figured to let us do his sweatin' for him, did he? We'll show him...Oh man, can't you see? It's all ours. We don't go back to Durango at all, savvy? Not at all...Don't be such a sap. Where did you ever grow up? All right, to make it clear to a dumbhead like you - we take all his goods and go straight up north and leave the old jackass flat.
 * Curtin: You aren't serious are you? You don't really mean what you're saying?
 * Dobbs: Fred C. Dobbs don't say nothin' he don't mean.
 * Curtin: As long as I'm here and can do anything about it, you won't touch a single grain of the old man's goods.
 * Dobbs: I know exactly what you mean. You want to take it all for yourself and cut me out.
 * Curtin: No, Dobbs. I'm on the level with the old man. Just as I'd be on the level with you if you weren't here.
 * Dobbs: Get off your soapbox, will you? You only sound foolish out here in this wilderness. I know you for what you are. For a long time, I've had my suspicions about you and now I know I've been right.
 * Curtin: What suspicions are you talking about?
 * Dobbs: Oh, you're not puttin' anything over on me. I see right through you. For a long time, you've had it in your mind to bump me off at the first good opportunity and bury me out here in the bush like a dog. So's you could take not only the old man's goods but mine in the bargain. And when you get to Durango safely, you'll have a big laugh, won't ya, thinkin' how dumb the old man and I were?
 * [Dobbs draws his gun on Curtin]
 * Dobbs: Was I right or was I? You and your Sunday school talk about protectin' people's goods. You. Come on, stand up and take it like a man.
 * [Curtin fights Dobbs, disarming him]
 * Curtin: [drawing his own gun] The cards are dealt the other way now, Dobbs.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Dobbs: So you could fall on me from behind, sneak up, and shoot me in the back?
 * Curtin: All right, I'll go first.
 * Dobbs: And wait for me on the trail and ambush me?
 * Curtin: Why wouldn't I do it right here and now if I meant to kill you?
 * Dobbs: I'll tell you why. 'Cause you're yella. You haven't got nerve enough to pull the trigger while I'm lookin' you straight in the eye.
 * Curtin: If you think like that, there's nothing to do but to tie you up every night.
 * Dobbs: [He laughs] I'll tell you what. I'll make you a little bet. Three times thirty-five is a hundred and five. I'll bet ya a hundred and five thousand dollars you go to sleep before I do.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Dobbs: The cards are dealt the other way now and for the last time no more shuffling...I'm gonna finish this right now. No more takin' orders from you like I had to do today. Get me?
 * Curtin: You mean you're gonna murder me?
 * Dobbs: No brother, not murder. No. Your mistake. I'm doing this to save my life that you'd be taking from me the minute I wasn't lookin' at ya.
 * Curtin: The old man will catch up with ya.
 * Dobbs: Oh he will, will he? Well, I got an answer for that one too. You know what I want to tell him? I want to tell him you tied me to a tree and made your getaway taking all the goods - yours, mine, and his. So they'll be looking for you and not me. Up. March. Today I had to march to your music - now you march to mine.
 * Curtin: Where?
 * Dobbs: To your funeral. Come on, keep going. Get up. Sleepy huh? You'll be asleep soon enough. Sound asleep.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Curtin: Well Howard, what next, I wonder?
 * Howard: Well, I'm all fixed as far as I'm concerned as a medicine man. I'll have three meals a day, five if I want 'em, and a roof over my head, and a drink every now and then to warm me up. I'll be worshiped and fed and treated like a high priest for telling people things they want to hear. Good medicine men are born, not made. Come and see me some time, my boy. Even you will take off your hat when you see how respected I am. Why only the day before yesterday, they wanted to make me their Legislature - their whole Legislature. I don't know what that means but it must be the highest honor they can bestow. Yeah, I'm all fixed for the rest of my natural life. How about yourself? What do you aim to do?
 * Curtin: I haven't got any idea.
 * Howard: Oh, you're young yet. You've got plenty of time to make three or four fortunes for yourself.
 * Curtin: You know, the worst ain't so bad when it finally happens. Not half as bad as you figure it will be before it's happened. I'm no worse off than I was in Tampico. All I'm out is a couple hundred bucks when you come right down to it. Not very much compared to what Dobbsie lost.
 * Howard: Any special place you're bent on goin'?
 * Curtin: Naw, all the places are the same to me.
 * Howard: Tell you what. You can keep my share of what the burros and the hides'll bring if you use the money to buy a ticket to Dallas. See Cody's widow. Better than writin'. And besides, it's July and the fruit harvest. How about it?
 * Curtin: It's a deal.

Talk:Vegetarianism

 * "Had God meant me to be vegetarian, He would not have made these teeth so pointy, nor animals so tasty."

Never saw this quote before. Sounds like a personal quote, attributed to "anonymous". I have removed this from the article: if anyone can quote anywhere which has this quote, please add it back with such info. Thanks ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 15:49, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

adorno-quote
i have some doubt about this quote. besides the problem to quote adorno at all -you should read philosphical texts, not just break them into good looking units to get them quotable..- i don't believe you'll find this quote in his work. so please reveal the source or delete it.

Also, the human body is created more like those of herbivores than carnivores or omnivores.

In Genesis (the First book of the Bible), Man (Humanity) was told that he could eat all plants, and evry peice of it. After the Fall, some plants became toxic, and animals were given to fill the gap.

WTF!?
The human body is NOT like that of a herbivore! We do NOT have 4 stomachs, nor do we have a large intestine that takes up three quarters of the abdomen! Jeez, take some anatomy classes for crying out loud. 05:12, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

It's only cows that have four stomachs, and our intestinal tract is comparitaviely longer than that of similarly sized carnivorous animals.

But comparitaviely shorter than that of similarly sized herbivores; we are omnivores.

Geez
This article is little more than hippies and whiners trying to force their ideals onto other people.

Hippies and whiners must also be most of the greatest minds in human history

well, wasn't one A. Hitler a vegetarian? Hmm? sounds like a bad blow for your side, doesn't it?

Was Albert Einstein a vegetarian ? ~ klayman

Actually, Hitler was a meat-eater who claimed that he was a vegetarian after the death of his neice. There are several eye-witness accounts of him eating meat.

Also, Einstein only supported the idea of vegetarianism for most of his life before trying it out at the very end.

However, the point I'd like to make is that it doesn't really matter--a diet doesn't dictate a person's personality. This article, while waaaaay to heavy on the ethical vegetarian quotes from PETA sites (I agree with you there!) was put up not to "force ideals onto other people," but rather to provide quotes about vegetarianism to anyone who bothered to look it up on Wikiquote. --Vegan magpie 20:25, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Meat-Only for barbarians?
AAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAHHHHH-AAAAAHHHHH-AAHAAHHH-AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! [beats chest]

-->

Pretty sure this is a page of quotes of things that people have said, notable peoples opinions i guess, not just facts. Besides, i belive barbarians spoke with more of a grunting dialect, probably in some ancient greek language (greek maybe), you moron.

 * oh moron, eh? I like that. well, I'm not going to get down in the mud with some faceless little twerp I will never, ever meet in the real world, and wouldn't want to if my life were hinged on it.

PETA quotes
i read this article ages ago and it was good. Now it's full of quotes from celebrities representing PETA. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with this, but it would be nice to have a seperate section for the PETA celebrity quotes, and the more "quotable" quotes, if that makes sense.

Quotes
Is it just me or are some of these quotes a bit... superfluous? Leaving aside the fact that the pro-meat side is a bit under-represented, there seem to be both a whole load of quotes from non-entities here or quotes that essentially boil down to celebrities literally describing their eating habits - I mean, do we really need to know Shania Twain's dinner menu?--203.87.117.133 00:29, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

You're right. Who gives a @^#& about what some random celebrity's taste in food is? Let's delete some celebrity preferences and put in some anti-veg quotes to balance out the quotes page. 05:15, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Quote invented?
In the quote from Leonardo "The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men." - Leonardo da Vinci (Quote invented by Dimitri Merejovski in a novel)

whats with the '(Quote invented by Dimitri Merejovski in a novel)'? im fairly certain that the quote was not invented. its sourcable from Leonardos diaries. Its not invented.

Whats that about? mabye the '(Quote invented by Dimitri Merejovski in a novel)' should be removed.

Yes, that quote was invented by Dimitri Merejovski in his book “The Romance of Leonardo da Vinci”. And I didn’t found it in the notebooks… However, it seems that Leonardo himself was a vegetarian. Take a look: http://www.ivu.org/history/davinci/hurwitz.html N. Metello

For you anti-vegetarians ...
When I went through and categorized, I put an "anti-vegetarian" section. I hope this makes you happy, and you can add to it if you can think of any better ones than the ones currently up. --Vegan magpie 20:16, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Einstein quote
"Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances of survival for life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." I can't seem to find that quote on Einsteins page, but it listed on this one. Maybe it was removed because it was incorrect? Zanoi 01:56, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

What a sweet, pleasing and innocent sight is the spectacle of a table served that way and what a difference to a make up of fuming animal meat, slaughtered and dead!

Climate change would decrease by 25 percent, deforestation would cease, rainforests would be preserved, our water- and air-quality would increase, life-expectancy rates would increase, and our rates of cancer would plummet, so certainly, with that one action of becoming vegan you are quite effectively making the world a better place." - Moby, VegNews interview

 * "There's so many animals, there's not enough land anymore and everything's swamped with pesticides and fertilizers... It's destroying just about everything - topsoil, wildlife, water, birds. If everyone went veggie we'd need only about half the amount of land and we could have real forests and wild places again…. Animals use up huge amounts of water and there are billions of them. You can feed ten times the number of people on the food they give to animals… If you can feed ten times the number of people by not passing food through animals first and then killing them. That's got to make people think… It’s sucking in the world's supplies of grain and soya which are needed for people. It's costing lives. That's why we've got to get our message out there." – Paul McCartney, PETA interview

The Last Samurai

 is a 2003 film about an American army captain Nathan Algren who is hired to train Japanese troops during the. In his first battle against the oppositional, Algren is taken prisoner by Lord Katsumoto who gradually converts him to his cause. Although not historically accurate, the film covered several major issues of the and was received better in Japan than in the US.
 * Directed by . Written by John Logan

In the face of an enemy, in the Heart of One Man, Lies the Soul of a Warrior

Nathan Algren

 * Imagine someone who hates you with the utmost intensity grabbing a handful of your hair while you're lying prostrate and helpless. Then scraping the dull blade of a rusty knife across you scalp. And let your imagination grasp if you can, Mr. Graham, the effect that a strong, quick jerk on the turf of your hair to release any clinging particles would have on your nervous system.
 * [narrating] Spring, 1877. This marks the longest I've stayed in one place since I left the farm at 17. There is so much here I will never understand. I've never been a church going man, and what I've seen on the field of battle has led me to question God's purpose. But there is indeed something spiritual in this place. And though it may forever be obscure to me, I cannot but be aware of its power. I do know that it is here that I've known my first untroubled sleep in many years.

Others

 * Colonel Bagley: [to Algren] Just tell me one thing. What is it about your own people that you hate so much?
 * Simon Graham [opening narration]: They say Japan was made by a sword. They say the old gods dipped a coral blade into the ocean, and when they pulled it out four perfect drops fell back into the sea, and those drops became the islands of Japan. I say, Japan was made by a handful of brave men. Warriors, willing to give their lives for what seems to have become a forgotten word: honor.
 * Simon Graham [closing narration]: And so the days of the Samurai had ended. Nations, like men, it is sometimes said, have their own destiny. As for the American Captain, no one knows what became of him. Some say that he died of his wounds. Others, that he returned to his own country. But I like to think he may have at last found some small measure of peace, that we all seek, and few of us ever find.

Dialogue

 * Omura: Katsumoto is an extraordinary man, is he not?
 * Algren: He's a tribal leader. I've known many of them.
 * Omura: But none who are samurai. Their ways have great appeal.
 * Algren: I don't see how this concerns me.
 * Omura: Ah, but it does. You see, you were right, Captain Algren. Last year, we were not prepared to go to battle. You were right and Colonel Bagley was wrong. But now, we are ready. If Katsumoto is allowed to attract other samurai to his cause, we will have 10 years of rebellion. This is something I will not allow. Either I will stop him at the council today, or you will lead my army against him. And with these new weapons, you will crush him.
 * Algren: I appreciate the offer...
 * Omura: It is not an offer.
 * Algren: Mr. Omura, my contract with you was to train your army.
 * Omura: Then we will make a new contract. One that will recognize the extraordinary contribution you have made to the emperor. Do we understand each other?
 * Algren: Yes, we understand each other perfectly.
 * Omura: Then I am pleased. [Algren bows, turns, and leaves the room. Omura turns to his secretary and speaks in Japanese] Follow him. If he goes anywhere near Katsumoto, kill him.

 * Colonel Bagley: Nathan, Katsumoto's attacked the railroad at the border of this province.
 * Omura: We cannot govern a country in which we cannot travel freely. He must be stopped now. My railroad is a priority for this country.
 * Algren: [about the army] They're not ready.
 * Colonel Bagley: The rebels don't have a single rifle. They're savages with bows and arrows.
 * Algren: Whose sole occupation for the last thousand years has been war.
 * Colonel Bagley: You have superior firepower and a larger force. I am ordering the regiment to move against the rebel Katsumoto. You will track him down and engage him.

 * Algren: [To one Japanese soldier] Load. [to Simon Graham] Mr. Graham, tell this man to fire at me!
 * Simon Graham: I beg your pardon?
 * Algren: [Pulls out his pistol and cocks it] Tell this man that if he does not shoot me, I will kill him.
 * Sgt. Gant: Captain, if I might have a word...
 * [Algren fires his pistol at the soldier's feet, making everyone except Gant and Bagley jump.]
 * Algren: Tell him... tell him! [Re-cocks his pistol]
 * [Graham hurriedly translates for the soldier. Shocked and wide-eyed at Algren's command, the soldier looks at Algren and frantically shakes his head.]
 * Algren: Load!
 * [He fires again, this time knocking the soldier's hat off. The soldier hurriedly re-loads his rifle.]
 * Algren: Faster! [fires again] Faster!
 * [The soldier loads as fast as possible, discarding his ramrod in his haste.]
 * Algren: Shoot me, damn it.
 * [The soldier cocks his rifle and aims at Algren, but, almost as though he understands Algren's command, shakes his head and refuses to shoot.]
 * Algren: Fire! Fire, ute!
 * [Algren fires his last shot. The soldier aims quickly and pulls his trigger, narrowly missing Algren and hitting the sandbag behind him.  Algren lowers his gun, sighs in disappointment, then holsters his gun and pats the soldier on the shoulder, who almost collapses from fear.]
 * Algren: [to Bagley] They're not ready.
 * Colonel Bagley: [to the rest of the army] The regiment leaves at 6 AM!

 * [Katsumoto has been granted an audience with the Emperor during a truce, in which he begs him to stop letting the new merchant-class of tycoons dominate his government, and accept the samurai back]
 * : You rise against me, my teacher.
 * Katsumoto: No, Highness. I rise against your enemies.
 * Emperor Meiji: They are my advisors, like you.
 * Katsumoto: They advise in their own interest!
 * Emperor Meiji: I need advisors who know the modern world.
 * Katsumoto: If I am no use, I will happily end my life.
 * Emperor Meiji: No, I need your voice in the Council.
 * Katsumoto: It is your voice we need, Highness. You are a living god. Do what you think is right.
 * Emperor Meiji: [ruefully] I am a living god - as long as I do what *they* think is right.
 * Katsumoto: [stunned beyond words, sorrowful] ...What sad words you speak...

 * Katsumoto: With this sword I guarded the Emperor...
 * Omura: We don't need your protection. We are a nation of laws.
 * Katsumoto: We are a nation of whores selling ourselves...
 * Omura: If we are whores, the samurai made us this way.

 * [As Algren and Katsumoto rides up to meet Omura, an unnamed lieutenant and Col. Bagley. Bagley is shocked to see Algren in a red samurai armor.]
 * Colonel Bagley: Good God! [Recovers to face both Algren and Katsumoto] Sir, the Imperial Army of Japan demands your surrender. If you and your fellows lay down your arms, you will not be harmed.
 * Katsumoto: This is not possible as Mr. Omura knows.
 * [Omura gives Katsumoto a nod as a sign of respect. Bagley then faces Algren]
 * Colonel Bagley: Captain Algren, we will show you no quarter. You ride against us and you're the same as they are.
 * Algren: I'll look for you in the field.

 * [The commanders see smoke rising from the battlefield]
 * Colonel Bagley: What on earth?!
 * Omura: What is happening?
 * Colonel Bagley: The attack has been stopped.
 * Omura: Send in rest of the regiment.

 * Katsumoto: What happened to the warriors at Thermopylae?
 * Nathan Algren: [smiling] Dead to the last man.

 * [Nathan Algren appears and kneels before Emperor Meiji, just as he is about to sign a new US-Japan pact]
 * Nathan Algren: [presents a sword] This is Katsumoto's sword. He would have wanted you to have it, that the strength of the Samurai be with you always.
 * Omura: Enlightened One, we weep for Katsumoto, but...
 * Algren: He hoped with his last breath that you would remember the ancestors who held this sword and what they died for.
 * Omura: [as Emperor Meiji receives the sword] Your Highness...
 * Emperor Meiji: You were with him, at the end?
 * Algren: Hai. [bows]
 * Omura: [in English] Emperor. This man fought against you!
 * Algren: Your Highness, if you believe me to be your enemy, command me and I will gladly take my life.
 * Meiji: [ponders Algren's words and stands up] I dreamed of a unified Japan, of a country strong and independent and modern. And now we have railroads and cannon, Western clothing. But [looks at sword] we cannot forget who we are, or where we come from. Ambassador Swanbeck, I have concluded that your treaty is NOT in the best interests of my people.
 * Ambassador Swanbeck: Sir, if I may...
 * Meiji: So sorry, but you may not.
 * Swanbeck: This is an outrage! [angrily storms out of the room. His aide bows to the emperor before leaving]
 * Omura: [in Japanese] Enlightened One, we must discuss this-
 * Meiji: Omura, you have done quite enough.
 * Omura: Everything I have done, I have done for my country.
 * Meiji: [disbelieving Omura] Then you will not mind when I seize your family's assets and present them as my gift to the people. [Algren is seen pleased at Omura's downfall.]
 * Omura: [furious] You disgrace me!
 * Meiji: If your shame is too unbearable, [holds up Katsumoto's sword in front of Omura] I offer you this sword! [Omura backs down. to Algren] Tell me how he died.
 * Algren: I will tell you how he lived.

Seven (film)

Seven (sometimes stylized as Se7en) is a 1995 film about two cops, one new and one about to retire, who are chasing a serial killer who is using the Seven deadly sins as inspiration for his murders.
 * Directed by David Fincher. Written by Andrew Kevin Walker.

Seven deadly sins. Seven ways to die. Taglines

William Somerset

 * If John Doe's head splits open and a UFO should fly out, I want you to have expected it.
 * Ernest Hemingway once wrote, "The world is a fine place and worth fighting for." I agree with the second part.

David Mills

 * Who knows. So many freaks out there doin' their little evil deeds they don't wanna do... "The voices made me do it. My dog made me do it. Jodie Foster told me to do it."
 * Fuckin' Dante... goddamn poetry writing faggot piece of shit! Fucker!

John Doe

 * [From one of his journals] What sick ridiculous puppets we are / and what gross little stage we dance on / What fun we have dancing and fucking / Not a care in the world / Not knowing that we are nothing / We are not what was intended
 * [from his journal] On the subway today, a man came up to me to start a conversation. He made small talk, a lonely man talking about the weather and other things. I tried to be pleasant and accommodating, but my head hurt from his banality. I almost didn't notice it had happened, but I suddenly threw up all over him. He was not pleased, and I couldn't stop laughing.
 * Wanting people to listen, you can't just tap them on the shoulder anymore. You have to hit them with a sledgehammer, and then you'll notice you've got their strict attention.
 * Become vengeance, David. Become... wrath.

Dialogue

 * Mills: Now, I wasn't standing around guarding the Taco Bell, alright? I worked homicide for 5 years.
 * Somerset: Not here.
 * Mills: I understand that.
 * Somerset: Well, over the next 7 days, Detective, you'll do me the favor of remembering that.

 * Somerset: You meant what you said to Mrs. Gould, didn't you? About catching this guy?
 * Mills: Yeah.
 * Somerset: Hm. I wish I still thought the way you do.
 * Mills: Why don't you tell me what the hell it is you think we're doing, then?
 * Somerset: Picking up the pieces. We're collecting all the evidence, taking all the pictures and samples, writing everything down, noting the time things happen.
 * Mills: That's all?
 * Somerset: That's all. Putting everything into neat little piles and filing it away on the off chance it will ever be needed in the courtroom. Picking up diamonds on a deserted island, saving them in case we get rescued.
 * Mills: [sits up] Bullshit!
 * Somerset: Even the most promising clues usually only lead to others. So many corpses roll away un-revenged.
 * Mills: Don't try to tell me you didn't get that rush tonight. I saw you. We're getting somewhere.

 * Somerset: Why don't you tell me what's really bothering you, Tracy?
 * Tracy: David and I are gonna have a baby.
 * Somerset: [baffled] Oh, Tracy... I don't think I'm the one to talk to about this...
 * Tracy: I hate this city.
 * [A slightly uncomfortable moment passes]
 * Somerset: I had a relationship once. It was very much like a marriage. We got pregnant. This was long time ago. [sighs] I remember getting up one morning and going to work. Just another day like any other, except it was the first day after I knew about … pregnancy. And I felt this fear for the first time ever. I remember thinking, "How can I bring a child into a world like this? How can a person grow up with all this around them?" I told her I didn't want to have it, and over the next few weeks, I wore her down.
 * Tracy: I want to have children.
 * Somerset: I can tell you now that I know … I mean, I'm positive … that I made the right decision. But there's not a day that passes that I don't wish that I had made a different choice. If you don't keep the baby – I mean, if that's your decision – don't ever tell him that you were pregnant. But if you choose to have this baby, you spoil that kid every chance you get. [Tracy starts crying] That's about all the advice I can give you, Tracy.

 * Mills: Do you like what you do for a living? These things you see?
 * Man in Massage Parlour Booth: No, I don't. But that's life.

 * Mills: [about Victor] Has he tried to speak or communicate in any way?
 * Dr. Beardsley: Even if his brain were not mush, which it is, he chewed off his own tongue long ago.
 * Somerset: Uh... Doc, is there absolutely no chance that he might survive?
 * Dr. Beardsley: Detective, he'd die of shock right now if you were to shine a flashlight in his eyes. He's experienced about as much pain and suffering as anyone I've encountered, give or take... and he still has hell to look forward to. Good night.

 * Somerset: Victor's landlord said there was an envelope of cash in the office mailbox the first of every month. Quote: "I never heard a single complaint from the tenant in apartment 306, and nobody ever complained about him. He's the best tenant I've ever had." End quote.
 * Mills: Yeah, a landlord's dream: a paralyzed tenant with no tongue.
 * Somerset: Who pays the rent on time.
 * Mills: I'm sick of all this waiting!
 * Somerset: This is the job.
 * Mills: Why aren't we out there, huh? Why we gotta sit here, rotting, waiting until the lunatic does it again?
 * Somerset: It's dismissive to call him a lunatic. Don't make that mistake.
 * Mills: Come on, he's insane. Look, right now he's probably dancing around in his grandmother's panties, yeah, rubbing himself in peanut butter. Ooh. How's that?
 * Somerset: I don't think so.
 * Mills: His luck will run out.
 * Somerset: He's not depending on luck. We walked into that apartment exactly one year after he tied Victor to the bed. One year to the date. He wanted us to.
 * Mills: Don't know that for sure.
 * Somerset: Oh yes, we do. This note he left, his first words to us: "Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads up to light."
 * Mills: Fuck him. So what?
 * Somerset: He's right so far. Imagine the will it takes to keep a man bound for a full year, to sever his hand and use it to plant fingerprints, to insert tubes into his genitals. This guy's methodical, exacting, and worst of all, patient.
 * Mills: He's a nut-bag! Just because the fucker's got a library card doesn't make him Yoda.

 * [Mills and Somerset are reading through the FBI results]
 * Mills: Modern Homicide Investigation, In Cold Blood, Of Human Bondage … bondage?
 * Somerset: Not what you think it is.
 * Mills: Okay. The Marquis de-Shaday …
 * Somerset: It's the Marquis de Sade.
 * Mills: Whatever. The Writings of Saint Thomas Aqua-something.
 * Somerset: Saint Thomas Aquinas? There it is. He wrote about the seven deadly sins. Is that it?
 * Mills: Yeah.
 * Somerset: Let's try it.
 * Mills: Jonathan Doe?
 * Somerset: Whatever.

 * Mills: [picks up the phone] Hello?
 * Doe: I admire you. I don't know how you found me, but imagine my surprise. I respect you law enforcement agents more every day.
 * Mills: Well, I appreciate that, John. I tell you …
 * Doe: No, no, you listen, all right? I'll be re-adjusting my schedule in light of today's little … setback. I just had to call and express my admiration. Sorry I had to hurt … one of you, but I really didn't have a choice, did I?
 * Mills: Hm.
 * Doe: You will accept my apology, won't you? I feel like saying more, but I don't want to ruin the surprise. [hangs up]

 * Somerset: You know, this isn't gonna have a happy ending.
 * Mills: Hey man, if we catch him, I'll be happy enough.
 * Somerset: If we catch John Doe and he turns out to be the Devil – I mean, if he's Satan himself – that might live up to our expectations. But … he's not the Devil. He's just a man.
 * Mills: You know, see, you bitch and you complain and you tell me these things – if you think you're preparing me for hard times, thank you, but …
 * Somerset: But you got to be a hero? You want to be a champion. Well, let me tell you, people don't want a champion. They wanna eat cheeseburgers, play the lotto and watch television.
 * Mills: Hey, how did you get like this? I wanna know.
 * Somerset: Well. [sighs] It wasn't one thing, I can tell you that.
 * Mills: Go on.
 * Somerset: I just don't think I can continue to live in a place that embraces and nurtures apathy as if it was a virtue!
 * Mills: You're no different. You're no better.
 * Somerset: I didn't say I was different or better. I'm not! Hell, I sympathize; I sympathize completely. Apathy is a solution. I mean, it's easier to lose yourself in drugs than it is to cope with life. It's easier to steal what you want than it is to earn it. It's easier to beat a child than it is to raise it. Hell, love costs: it takes effort and work.
 * Mills: We are talking about people who are mentally ill. We are talking about people who are fucking crazies.
 * Somerset: No. No, we're not. We're talking about everyday life here. You – you can't afford to be this naive!
 * Mills: Fuck off. See, you should listen to yourself. Yeah. You say that the problem with people is that they don't care, so I don't care about people. It makes no sense. You know why?
 * Somerset: You care?
 * Mills: Damn right.
 * Somerset: And you gonna make a difference?
 * Mills: Whatever. The point is that I don't think you're quitting because you believe these things you say. I don't. I think you wanna believe them because you're quitting. You want me to agree with you, and you want me to say, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right. It's all fucked up. It's a fucking mess. We should all go live in a fucking log cabin." But I won't. I won't say that. I don't agree with you. I do not. I can't.

 * Mills: [to John Doe] I've been trying to figure something in my head, and maybe you can help me out, yeah? When a person is insane, as you clearly are, do you know that you're insane? Maybe you're just sitting around, reading Guns and Ammo, masturbating in your own feces. Do you just stop and go, "Wow! It is amazing how fucking crazy I really am!"? Yeah, do you guys do that?
 * Doe: It's more comfortable for you to label me as insane.
 * Mills: It's very comfortable.

 * Doe: Nothing wrong with a man taking pleasure in his work. I won't deny my own personal desire to turn each sin against the sinner.
 * Mills: Wait a minute, I thought all you did was kill innocent people...
 * Doe: [outraged] Innocent? Is that supposed to be funny? [his voice rising in anger] An obese man, a disgusting man who could barely stand up, a man who if you saw him on the street, you'd point him out to your friends so that they could join you in mocking him, a man, who if you saw him while you were eating, you wouldn't be able to finish your meal. And after him I picked the lawyer, and you both must have secretly been thanking me for that one. This is a man who dedicated his life to making money by lying with every breath that he could muster to keeping murderers and rapists on the streets!
 * Mills: Murderers?
 * Doe: A woman …
 * Mills: Murderers, John, like yourself?
 * Doe: A woman, so ugly on the inside that she couldn't bear to go on living if she couldn't be beautiful on the outside. A drug dealer, a drug-dealing pederast, actually! And let's not forget the disease-spreading whore! Only in a world this shitty could you even try to say these were innocent people and keep a straight face. But that's the point: we see a deadly sin on every street corner, in every home, and we tolerate it. We tolerate it because it's common, it's trivial. We tolerate it morning, noon, and night. Well, not anymore. I'm setting the example. And what I've done is going to be puzzled over and studied and followed … forever.
 * Mills: Uh... yeah. [to Somerset] Delusions of grandeur.
 * John Doe: You should be thanking me.
 * Mills: Why is that, John?
 * Doe: Because you're going to be remembered after this. Realize, detective, the only reason that I'm here right now is that I wanted to be.
 * Mills: No. No, we would have got you eventually.
 * Doe: Oh, really? So, what were you doing? Biding your time? Toying with me? Allowing five "innocent" people to die until you felt like springing your trap? Tell me, what was the indisputable evidence you were going to use on me right before I walked up to you and put my hands in the air?!
 * Mills: John. Calm down. I seem to remember us knocking on your door.
 * Doe: Oh, that's right. And I seem to remember breaking your face. [leans forward] You're only alive because I didn't kill you.
 * Mills: Okay, sit back.
 * Doe: I spared you.
 * Mills: Sit back!
 * Doe: Remember that, detective, every time you look in the mirror at that face of yours for the rest of your life, or should I say, for the rest of what life I've allowed you to have.
 * Mills: Sit back! Sit back, you fucking freak! Shut your fucking mouth! You're no messiah. You're a movie of the week. You're a fucking T-shirt, at best.
 * John Doe: Don't ask me to pity those people. I don't mourn them any more than I do the thousands that died at Sodom and Gomorrah.
 * Somerset: Is that to say, John, that what you were doing was God's good work?
 * Doe: The Lord works in mysterious ways.

 * Mills: What do you got?
 * Somerset: Dead dog.
 * Doe: I didn't do that.

 * Doe: Do you hear me, Detective? I'm trying to tell you how much I admire you... and your pretty wife.
 * Mills: What?
 * Doe: Tracy.
 * Mills: What'd you fucking say?
 * Doe: It's disturbing how easily a member of the press can purchase information from men in your precinct. I visited your home this morning, after you'd left. I tried to play husband. I tried to taste the life of a simple man. It didn't work out, so I took a souvenir... her pretty head! Because I envied your normal life. It seems that envy is my sin.

 * Doe: She begged for her life, Detective.
 * Somerset: Shut up.
 * Doe: She begged for her life –
 * Somerset: Shut up!
 * Doe: ... and for the life of the baby inside her.
 * Somerset: Shut up! [back-hands him]
 * [Mills stands frozen, horrified]
 * Doe: Oh … [smiles] he didn't know.

 * Police Captain: [about Mills] We’ll take care of him.
 * Somerset: Anything he needs.
 * Police Captain: Where you gonna be?
 * Somerset: Around. I'll be around. [voiceover] Ernest Hemingway once wrote, "The world is a fine place and worth fighting for." I agree with the second part.

Taglines

 * Seven deadly sins. Seven ways to die.
 * Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads up to light.
 * Gluttony · Greed · Sloth · Envy · Wrath · Pride · Lust
 * Let he who is without sin try to survive
 * Ernest Hemingway once wrote, "The world is a fine place and worth fighting for." I agree with the second part.

Oliver & Company

Oliver & Company is the 27th film in the Disney animated features canon, released on November 18, 1988. The film's plot is based on Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist, which has been adapted many other times for the screen and television.
 * Directed by George Scribner. Written by James Mangold.

The first Disney movie with attitude.

Dodger

 * [to Oliver when they first meet] Hey, I don't eat cats, too much fur!
 * Absitively posolutely!
 * Consider this a free lesson in street savoir faire from New York's coolest quadruped. Check ya later!
 * If ya want 'em, come an' get 'em! Uh-huh. But I'm warnin' ya, kid. [Sings:] One minute, Ah'm in Central Park;/Then I'm down on Delancy Street./From the Bowery to St. Mark's,/There's a syncopated beat.
 * [Sings:] Why should I worry? Tell me: why should I care? I may not have a dime, but I got street savoir-faire.
 * [Sings:] The rhythm of the city: once you get it down, then you can own this town; then you can wear the cra-ow-ow-own! Why should I worry? Tell me: why should I care? I may not have a dime, but I got street savoir-faire.

Tito

 * [sniffs a cigar] Hey, man, if this is torture, chain me to the wall!
 * Hey, man, you're ugly! And you're uglier than him! And you're Ugly, Part Three! Hey, you're Revenge of the Ugly!
 * [seeing Oliver revealed] Mi madre, un gato!

Rita

 * We gotta clean you up, child, and get you some on-the-job trainin'.
 * Run along, Roscoe. Your master's calling.
 * [Sings] Now listen up: you've got a lot to learn/and if you don't learn, you don't eat./But if you're tough, an' always use yo' head,/you'll feel right at home on the street./When you've got talent, everything is free./Watch how we do things: Ooh, I'll guarantee/You're gonna see, how;–– the best survive;/We make an art, out;–– of stayin' alive/If you do just as you're told,/these are streets of gold!.
 * [Sings] Ev'ry bouleva'd, is: a Miracle Mile/We take the town, and, we take it with style!/If you play it brave an' bold,/these are streets of gold!.
 * Excuse me, uh, sister. Who's Rex?
 * If I never see that skinny little shrimp again, it will be too soon.

Francis

 * My name is Francis. Fran-cis. Not Frank. Not Frankie. Francis.
 * Tito! Stop that racket! I'm trying to watch this show.
 * Shut up, you little rodent.
 * It's none of your business, you intrusive little pipsqueak.
 * Oh, good show, Einstein. Now, all is need is the court and the net.

Georgette

 * 56 blue ribbons. 14 regional trophies. 6-time national champion!
 * Well, it may be Jenny's house, but everything from the doorknobs down is MINE!!
 * I love you, Oliver. Play with Georgette. I'd like to play with him, all right! The little fur ball!
 * None of your business! And you, "Tubby": off the bed!
 * Oh. I broke a nail.
 * That's it! We'll start with a bath.

Fagin

 * [seeing his dogs fight] All right, all right, knock it off! ENOUGH! What is the matter with you guys? [dogs stops and looked at him] Don't you understand? Sykes will be here any minute, and I don't have... [dogs joyfully running to their master] No, no, no, no!

 * I don't wanna put any undue pressure on you, but as you march off to do your duty, I want you to keep one thing in mind: Dead men do not buy dog food! So big smiles, and get out there, and FETCH!

Bill Sykes

 * I don't wantcher… ga'bage, Fagin! I don't think you grasp… the severity of the situation.
 * Now, I lent you money, an' I don't see it. D'you know what happens when I don't see my money, Fagin? People like you, get hurt. Do I make myself clear?!

 * Three sunrises. Three sunsets. Three days, Fagin.

 * I'm proud of you, Fagin. Yeah, you're starting to think big! You've got twelve hours! And Fagin? This is your last chance.

Roscoe

 * I haven't lost my sense of humor! [kicks Fagin's TV set, destroying it] See? I find that funny. [chuckles]
 * We ain't finished, Dodger. You guys are gonna pay for this, starting with that cat.
 * What's the occasion? Come to rescue your little friend?

DeSoto

 * I like cats. I like to eat 'em.
 * Say goodbye, Francis.

Dialogue

 * Rita: Well, what is it?
 * [Francis gives an "I don't know" gesture]
 * Tito: Hey, man, check it out. [sniffs the cloth, but Oliver scratches him on the nose] Aye, it's an alien!
 * Rita: Cool it, guys, it's just a cat.
 * Tito: Mi madre, un gato!
 * Francis: Felis domesticus!
 * Rita: Now how did you find this place, cat?
 * Oliver: I followed this dog...
 * Tito: He's lying! He's lying! He's lying! He's lying!
 * Rita: [kicks Tito] Shut up, Tito!
 * Francis: Why would a cat follow a dog?
 * Einstein: Yeah?
 * Oliver: I just wanted some of the sausages I helped him get...
 * Tito: He's a spy, man! Come on, let's eat him! You're dead meat, kitty!
 * Oliver: But I saw him come down! Say, that's him! Over there!
 * Dodger: Hey kitty, what took ya so long?
 * Rita: [off-screen, to Oliver, gently] Relax, kid.
 * [She winks at him while Tito, Einstein and Francis start laughing at Dodger.]
 * Tito: [mockingly] Dodger, "razor-sharp claws"?
 * Francis: "Dripping fangs"?
 * [They continue laughing in a mocking manner.]
 * Rita: [flirtingly] I kinda like those burning eyes.
 * Dodger: Hey, keep it down, guys. The game's on.
 * Tito: Oh, boy, Dodger! Top dog has to get help from a cat! [giggles]
 * Dodger: Hey, Tito, better cool it, man.
 * Tito: Come on. Let's see this big bad kitty fight in action.
 * Dodger: Hey, Tito, look!
 * [Tito looks in the other direction, which distracts him as Dodger pounces on him and they bump into Francis, starting a playful dog pile fight.]
 * Einstein: [excitedly] Oh, boy! Dog pile!
 * [He jumps and lands on all three of his friends. Rita, on the other hand, isn't too fond of this behavior.]
 * Rita: [disgusted] Oh, what a bunch of overgrown- oof! [Tito bumps into her and it angers her.] Alright, that's it.
 * [She jumps into the fray and all five dogs are fighting in a playful manner together. This scares Oliver and he hides in the loot box. The play fight continues until they hear the voice of their owner, Fagin.]
 * Fagin: Alright, alright, knock it off! [The camera pans over to him.] Enough! What's the matter with you guys? [Dodger and his gang stop fighting.] Don't you understand? [whimpering] Sykes will be here any minute, and I don't have his- [The dogs see the dog biscuit box on his hand and charge for him.] No, no, no, no, no! [They tackle him, causing him to drop the box as the biscuits fly in the air and spill on the floor as all five dogs paw and lick their owner with love, causing him to laugh.] No, no. Stop it. [Einstein licks him.] No. No. No licking. [Dodger playfully tugs on his shirt as he chuckles.] What a joke! All right. Settle down. [Before the happy reunion can continue, they suddenly get startled as they hear a loud car horn honking, meaning only one thing: Bill Sykes has arrived.] Sykes! [Sykes' pair of Doberman-Pinchers, named Roscoe, in the red collar, and Desoto, in the blue collar, head for the entrance using the gangplank.] Alright, alright! I'm coming! [whimpering in fear] I'll be right there! [Einstein pushes the loot towards his scared owner.] You guys, listen, don't let me down! [Tito gives him the wallet.] What do you got? Let's see what you got. [He gasps as he looks at the wallet, which contains nothing but worthless rubbish.] It's worthless! What have you done?! [Francis looks down in shame while Tito hides behind him.] Oh, how are we ever going to pay Sykes off with a- [He pulls out Oliver.] A pussycat? [Before he can examine Oliver, Roscoe and Desoto arrive as they pound the door open, causing the background to shake. They both snarl and growl ferociously at the barge owner.] Oh. [chuckles nervously] Oh, look who's here, kids. [Dodger and his gang bravely stand their ground against the two viciously savage Dobermans.] Uh, company. Nice doggies. [He brings his hand out to try and pet Roscoe, who attempts to chomp his hand off, but misses.] I was just on my way out.
 * [He leaves to check in with his boss, leaving his dogs at the mercies of the Dobermans as they chuckle evilly. Dodger and Rita briefly glance at each other before turning their attention back to their arch-rivals.]
 * Roscoe: [off-screen, menacingly] You guys miss us?
 * [Oliver nervously peeks his head out. At the Docks, Fagin approaches Sykes, who still has his car lights on.]
 * Fagin: [stammering nervously] Mr. Sykes. I, uh... [The camera moves around Sykes' impressive Cadillac, using CGI footage. Instead of the Cadillac logo, his hood ornament contains both of his dobermans and the headlights turn off like a set of visors.] He's gonna kill me. [He sidesteps towards Sykes' driver's window to meet up with his boss, who slides his window open to look at him from off-screen.] Oh. Hello. Oh, lovely evening. I was just saying this to your two lovely, purebred Dobermans.
 * Bill Sykes: [sticks his hand out] The money, Fagin.

Vegas Vacation

Vegas Vacation is a 1997 film about the Griswolds trip to Las Vegas, as Clark got an extra bonus for developing a food preservative.
 * Directed by Stephen Kessler.

This time the Griswolds are on a roll. (taglines)

Clark Griswold

 * That's nothing, it's a...birthmark.
 * Hard six coming out.
 * It's my long-life food preservative. The FDA finally approved it!
 * Eddie, This is great! They don't have any of these games at the Mirage.
 * His name is not Papagiorgio. His name is Rusty Griswold and he's a C+ student!
 * Don't think unnatural thoughts about your cousin, Rus.
 * ...and he want's to enter that garden, with a knowledge, and a mulch...
 * Oh, Keno! This is easy.
 * My pen burst. (after hotel employee notices Clark's arm is blue from falling in the plane's toilet)

Ellen Griswold

 * (after an attempt to have sex with Clark in the bathroom goes horribly wrong) I'll never fly again.
 * Clark, this is a family trip. Can you try to stay with the family.
 * Could be worse...you could be pregnant again.
 * You find the Clark Griswold that I married and you tell him that I'm at the Mirage!
 * I love what you've done with the kitchenette.
 * Well, I don't know what you would do with your horses, because, Clark likes to use the garage for the cars and the lawn mower.
 * I've got news for you Clark. I haven't said yes, yet.

Rusty Griswold

 * Couldn't you just roll us around on the bed again.
 * I put a dollar in I won a car, I put a dollar in I won a car, I put a dollar in I won a car, I put a dollar in I won a car.
 * Who would have thought my sister had the legs of a thoroughbred. Am I right?
 * So I says to him, I said, "Get your own monkey!"
 * It's expensive having an entourage.
 * Security: "No corrective lenses tonight Mr Papagiorgio?" Rusty: "No sir, I do not require them."
 * Holy crap, Wayne Newton's hittin' on mom!

Cousin Eddie

 * Clark, have you ever tried to swim with the dolphins?
 * [to Wayne Newton] Do you need a bodyguard? I'd die for you!
 * Aw, she's got her mother's looks and her daddy's sense of balance.
 * My garden's spittin' out 50-lb tomatoes.
 * Hey, kids. Round-up time!
 * Oh, yeah. That's from when I sold my kidney.  I figured with all the advancements in modern science, I'd better sell it while someone still wanted to buy it.  Smartest thing I ever did, Clark.
 * Ahh Uban Coffee you know you can sprinkle that stuff on anything, ice cream, mashed potatoes or just eat it straight out of the can for a quick pick me up.
 * Don't worry, he's with me.
 * It's a bust, Las Vegas fun police, hand over your chips. ha ha ha ha
 * Whoa man it is a blazer out there. You're lucky you got air conditioning in here {Casino} - like mother nature intended.
 * I gotta warn ya Clark – they don’t play the same games that they do at them regular casinos

Cousin Vicki

 * Lord is my witness, I hate this heat! If it isn't gluing your butt to the truck seat it's making you sweat like a farm animal!
 * In this world, you’re either up on the stage in the spotlight, or down in the pit serving drinks
 * Honey, these boys ain't much to talk to, but, if you want a night away from your cat... they're more than fine.

Other

 * Jilly - That's it, kid. Now all we have to do is teach you how to dress.
 * Roy - What a great audience.

Dialogue

 * Clark: Eddie, did anyone ever tell you, you're bad luck.
 * Eddie: You know, those were my mother's dying words.  Course, when you're covered in third degree burns and your leg's caught in a bear trap, you're bound to say weird things.

 * Ellen: Clark. Are you feeling lucky tonight, Sparky?
 * Clark: Not right now, honey. They're teaching me baccarat.

 * Clark: Here, make the seats good.
 * [begins pouring coins into the Maitre d's hand]
 * Maitre d' : No...gratuity...necessary, sir. Right this way.

 * Jilly: Kid, you made me a lot of money tonight. Hey, you like gettin' massages?
 * Rusty: By who?
 * Jilly: [sarcastically] By who...by me. Meet me in the spa tomorrow at 10 o'clock.

 * Clark: You need any help with the grill, Eddie?
 * Eddie: No thanks, Clark. Don't have one. [throws chicken onto a rock] I'll get the tongs

 * Audrey: OK, what happened to you last night?
 * Rusty: [giggles]
 * [Audrey and Rusty sit down to breakfast]
 * Audrey: Coffee
 * Rusty: Me, too.
 * Ellen: Make it three.
 * Clark: [to waitress] Four coffees it is.
 * Clark: Kids!
 * Audrey: Daddy, don't shout.
 * Clark: What do you say we each have an 'alone day', where each of us can go out and explore the city of Las Vegas in their own way.
 * Ellen: Clark, I don't think that's such a good...
 * Rusty: Thanks
 * Audrey: See, ya.
 * Clark: Don't worry, honey. You're gonna love it.  See ya.

 * Security: Have you seen a guy named Nick Papagiorgio?
 * Clark: Yes, he took my wallet. He's over there.

 * [at Club Areola]
 * Security: Your usual table, Mr. Papagiorgio?
 * Rusty: Not today, Jimmy.
 * Clark: You're in deep trouble, my friend.

 * Ellen: Clark. Are we lost?
 * Rusty: Yeah, dad. What block are we on?
 * Clark: Very funny, Rus.

 * Rusty: I wanna gamble.
 * Clark: Russell. I never want to hear those words come out of your mouth again.  Gambling is a very serious business.
