Daredevil (film)

Daredevil is a 2003 film featuring characters from Marvel Comics. A blind man whose remaining senses are superhumanly acute battles crime as the costumed vigilante Daredevil, the "Man Without Fear".
 * Directed by Mark Steven Johnson. Screenplay by Mark Steven Johnson.

Tagline: When justice is blind, it knows no fear.

Matt Murdock/Daredevil

 * [narrating] I had lost my sight, but I got something back in return. My remaining four senses functioned with superhuman sharpness. But most amazing of all, my sense of sound gave off a kind of radar sense.

 * [narrating] High above the city streets, I trained my body and my senses. An acute sense of touch gave me both strength and balance, until the city itself became my playground.

 * [narrating] I waited outside the Olympic for my father. In some ways, I'm still waiting. Nobody cared much about the death of a washed-up prizefighter... nobody but me.

 * [narrating] I would keep my promise. I would help those that others wouldn't. I would seek justice... one way or another.
 * Can one man make a difference? There are days when I believe, and others when I have lost all faith.
 * Mister Quesada, for your sake, I hope justice is found here today... before justice finds you.

 * Hey, that light at the end of the tunnel? Guess what? That's not heaven. That's the C train!

 * When it rains, it's like there's a rooftop on the world. Each raindrop makes a sound the first time it falls on a surface. Just then, it's like I-I... it's like I can see again. And I-I just want to... I just want to see you.

 * I tried, Father. I tried. This is who I am.

 * If there are no eyewitnesses, I mean, you know, Bigfoot has eyewitnesses.

 * [narrating] Hell’s Kitchen is my neighborhood. I prowl the rooftops and alleyways at night. Watching from the darkness. Forever in darkness. A guardian devil.

Elektra Natchios

 * You should know that the only reason I got dressed up for this thing was that I wanted to look beautiful for you. I wish you could see me tonight.

 * It's just... good things don't happen to me very often. When they do, I get scared.

 * You don't know how I feel. I want revenge.
 * I want to look into the eyes of my father's killer as he dies.

Bullseye

 * I missed. I NEVER miss!

 * I want a bloody costume!

 * You're good, baby, I'll give you that. But me? I'm magic.

 * 'Man without fear' [chuckles] Looks like I found something you're afraid of. Let's bring on the pain! Let's bring on the noise!

Wilson Fisk/Kingpin

 * The press want a Kingpin, so I'll give them a Kingpin. Get me Bullseye.

 * Nobody's innocent. Nobody.

 * It's a shame you came here wounded. I would've loved to fight you in your prime. They called you the man without fear. If that's true, why are you afraid to show your face?

Franklin Nelson

 * There are alligators in the sewers! Don't ride my ass about the alligators. I got a friend in Sanitation, okay? He's seen them!

 * That place is gonna be crawling with people, rich people! People who pay their legal fees with money, not with fish, or with-with-with wheels of cheese, or with sports supplies! I'm gonna fill you in on a little secret, Matt. This doesn't look like a law office, okay? It looks like the set of goddamn "Sanford and Son". Every time I walk in, I'm waiting for Lamont to come down the stairs!

Others

 * Matt Murdock's answering machine: Matt, it's Heather. Are you there? Of course you're not there. You're never there. At least, not for me. Look, I didn't want to do this over the phone, but it's not like you've given me any choice. I mean, It's been three months, and I've never even seen your apartment. Every time we sleep together, I wake up in the morning alone. I mean, Jesus, where do you go at three o'clock in the morning?

 * Jack Kirby: You said to look out for anything weird, yes? Well, it's some pretty weird shit right here, man, right?

Dialogue

 * Fallon: Jack, it's been a while.
 * Jack Murdock: I don't work for you no more, Fallon.
 * Fallon: Jack, you never stopped. Did you really think you won all those fights on your own? You're forty-two years old! Miller, Mack, Bendis, they're all my fighters... just like you. And now it's your turn to take a fall. Think about your boy, Jack. I'm sure you'll do the right thing.

 * (A vigilante superhero in the confessional)
 * Matt Murdock: Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It's been a week since my last...
 * Father Everett: What the hell are playing at, Matt? You didn't come here for forgiveness. You came for permission, and I can't give you that.
 * Matt: Justice isn't a sin, Father.
 * Father Everett: No, but vengeance is. You see it every day on the street: violence begets more violence. Is that how you want to live your life? A lawyer during the day, and then judge and jury at night. Is that what you want?
 * Matt: Somebody has to do something.
 * Father Everett: But why you?
 * Matt: Because I can. Because I'm not afraid.
 * Father Everett: Well, I'm afraid for you, Matthew. Look, a man without fear is a man without hope. May God have mercy on you for your sins and grant you Everlasting Life, Amen. (sighs) I'm not too crazy about the outfit, either.

 * Franklin Nelson: Your client, Mister Lee, he made his first payment today.
 * Matt Murdock: That's great. You should be very happy.
 * Franklin: Yeah, it's fantastic. He paid in fluke. Fluke is a fish, Matt. Did you know that? Because I sure as hell didn't.
 * Matt: Mister Lee is a good man, and he... he doesn't have a lot of money, and he goes fishing on the weekends, so I guess that's...
 * Franklin: Yeah, well, I go salsa dancing on the weekends, but I don't shake my ass to pay my phone bill, you know what I'm sayin'?

 * Franklin: We need some better clients. I'm tired of these pro bono cases.
 * Matt: What is your problem with our clients? We have good, honorable clients, decent people. What's your idea of better? Define "better". Huh? What would be a "better" client?
 * Franklin: "Better" means rich and guilty, okay? Remember how they taught us in law school how to create a moral vacuum, so you can represent people who aren't all necessarily innocent?
 * Matt: That was your best course, as I recall.
 * Franklin: Yeah, well, you don't have a moral vacuum, Matt. You're completely vacuumless.

 * (In the coffee shop, Elektra is reading)
 * Matt Murdock: Uh, I was just looking for some honey. Could you help me out?
 * Elektra Natchios (without looking up): Right in front of you.
 * Matt: (chuckles) Well... could you be a little more specific?
 * Elektra: (looking up) What, are you...
 * Matt: Blind? Yeah.
 * Elektra: (shocked) I am so sorry!
 * Matt: It's okay.
 * Elektra: (about Nelson) Friend of yours?
 * Matt: You know, I've never seen him before. (extends a hand) Matt Murdock.
 * Elektra: (shakes hands) Nice to meet you, Matt Murdock.
 * Matt: Nice to meet you, uhh... I didn't get your name.
 * Elektra: I didn't give it. (she exits the coffee shop)

 * (Matt follows Elektra, tracking her by scent to a park)
 * Elektra: What do you want?
 * Matt: I just wanted to get your name. I didn't want any trouble.
 * Elektra: Look... I don't like being followed. So don't. (she turns to storm off)
 * Matt: Uh, wait a minute, wait a minute. Wait a second, take it easy! (he catches Elektra's hand)
 * Elektra: And I don't like being touched! (she throws a punch; Matt counters and pins her arms)
 * Matt: What don't you tell me what you do like, and we'll start there. Okay?
 * (Elektra throws more punches and kicks, which Matt dodges. The two separate, remove their jackets, and strike martial arts poses)
 * Elektra: You sure you're blind?
 * Matt: Sure you don't wanna tell me your name?

 * (Later, during a pause in the fighting)
 * Matt Murdock: Does every guy have to go through all this just to find out your name?
 * Elektra: Try asking for my number.

 * Kingpin: What's wrong, Wesley?
 * Wesley: Have you seen the papers today? Somebody's been talking.
 * Kingpin: Somebody always does. Wesley, did you know back in ancient times, they would cut the tongues out of their bodyguards their first day on the job? You think that's horrible, don't you? Because you don't like the physical stuff. I do. (he brutally kills one of his guards) Wesley, handkerchief.

 * Matt Murdock: Where'd you learn how to fight like that?
 * Elektra Natchios: My father. He had me study with a different sensei every year since I was five years old.
 * Matt: Sounds like he wanted to turn you into some kind of a warrior.
 * Elektra: No. Just not a victim.

 * Matt Murdock: I said I was sorry. What do you want?
 * Franklin Nelson: Details. You owe me that.
 * Matt: Her name's Elektra Natchios.
 * Franklin: She sounds like a Mexican appetizer.
 * Matt: It's Greek, genius. Her father's Nikolas Natchios.
 * Franklin: The billionaire?
 * Matt: Yeah, see? Yes, the billionaire.
 * Franklin: Well, then, as your attorney in this matter, I advise you to marry the woman immediately.
 * Matt: I'll take it under consideration. What do we got?
 * Franklin: Oh, this one's a real winner. Dante Jackson, an ex-con from Queens charged with the August 9th murder of Lisa Tazio, your friendly neighborhood prostitute. Bad news is Jackson was found passed out in an alley holding the murder weapon and enough THC in his lungs to get Staten Island high. Jackson says he can't remember what happened on the night of the murder or for that matter, most of the '90s.
 * Matt: What's the good news?
 * Franklin: The good news is the fluke wasn't bad.

 * (Matt Murdock arrives at his office and is greeted by his secretary)
 * Karen Page: This just came by messenger. It's your invitation to the Black and White Ball at the Grand, plus one. (she smiles expectantly)
 * Franklin Nelson: Plus one? All right! Guess I gotta rent a tux.

 * Franklin: Natchios owns the Grand Hotel. And Elektra's the reason you were invited to the ball.
 * Matt: She's out of my league. I'd rather just end it before it starts.
 * Franklin: That's gotta be some kind of record, Matt. You just completely bypassed the whole relationship phase. You went right into the breakup. Trying to save some time, huh?

 * (Walking on the street at night, Matt Murdock stops and sniffs the air)
 * Matt: So, does this mean you want a rematch?
 * Elektra: (smiling) I knew I'd find you. How did you know I wasn't a mugger?
 * Matt: Muggers don't usually wear rose oil or high heels. At least, this far from Chelsea.

 * (Matt has taken Elektra onto a rooftop)
 * Elektra: Wait a second, exactly how many women have you had up here?
 * Matt: Uh, you're my first.
 * Elektra: Good answer.
 * Matt: I thought that was the right answer.
 * Elektra: Look at this! It's so beautiful!
 * Matt: I know. This was my favorite view of the city when I was a kid. I really wanted you to see this.

 * Ben Urich: Cool color. (commenting on Matt's cane)
 * Matt: I wouldn't know.

 * Franklin Nelson: Oh-oh-oh! Look at that! Wilson Fisk is in the hizzie! Come on, we might never get a chance like this again. Come on, let's go! (to Fisk) Mister Fisk? Mister Fisk, it's Franklin Nelson from Nelson and Murdock...
 * Wesley: Excuse me. You want to talk to Mister Fisk, you make an appointment. Okay?
 * Wilson Fisk: It's all right, Wesley. (to Nelson) I know who you are. You're the blind lawyers from Hell's Kitchen.
 * Franklin: Actually, actually he's the blind one. I'm deaf.
 * Fisk: (chuckles) Give them a card, Wesley. I'm always on the lookout for new blood.
 * Matt Murdock: I'm sorry, Mister Fisk, my partner's a little overzealous. We can't represent you.
 * Fisk: Why's that?
 * Franklin: Yes, why is that, Mister Murdock?
 * Matt: Because we only handle clients who are innocent.
 * Fisk: (chuckles) "Innocent", he says. That's pretty funny. You know, I've learned one thing in all my years in this business.
 * Matt: What's that?
 * Fisk: Nobody's innocent. Nobody. Have a great time at the party. (Fisk and Wesley exit)
 * Franklin: I just... Matt, for one night I just wish, I just... (he spots Elektra, in an evening gown, on the balcony) Matt, I just wish I could give you my eyes for one night.

 * (On the dance floor, Elektra reaches up to remove Matt's dark glasses)
 * Elektra: Do you mind?
 * Matt: Uh, no, I just... sometimes it makes people uncomfortable, that's all.
 * Elektra: Not me. But you should know that the only reason I got dressed up for this thing was that I wanted to look beautiful for you. I wish you could see me tonight.
 * Matt: Me, too.

 * (Nikolas Natchios is watching Elektra on the dance floor; Wilson Fisk approaches him from behind)
 * Fisk: I think she's happy. I haven't seen her smile like that since her mother was killed. Poor girl, right in front of her eyes.
 * Natchios: Why do you have to bring that up now?
 * Fisk: History has a way of repeating itself.
 * Natchios: What are you saying?
 * Fisk: Just saying goodbye, old friend. Just saying goodbye.

 * (At Nikolas Natchios' funeral)
 * Matt: I know how you feel.
 * Elektra: You don't know how I feel. I want revenge.
 * Matt: Revenge won't make the pain go away. Trust me. I know.
 * Elektra: There's no place for me now.
 * Matt: Yes, there is. Stay. Stay with me. Please.
 * (Elektra starts to leave)
 * Matt: Elektra. Elektra, wait! Please.

 * (Wilson Fisk enters his office to find Bullseye sitting at his desk)
 * Fisk: Now how did you get past my security?
 * Bullseye: Oh, you mean that guy? (chuckling, he points to corpse on the floor)
 * Fisk: Was that really necessary?
 * Bullseye: Necessary? No. It was fun.

 * Bullseye: The Devil is mine.
 * Fisk: Really? I've heard that before, all too many times. But answer me this. How do you kill a man without fear?
 * Bullseye: By puttin' the fear in him.
 * Fisk: Ah... I like that. But first, give Elektra all my best. Is there anything else?
 * Bullseye: Yeah, I want a fucking costume.

 * (theatrical cut only)
 * Ben Urich: Matt, it's Ben Urich.
 * Matt Murdock: I know who it is. What do you want?
 * Urich: I got a lead on my story. I think that Natchios was set up by the real Kingpin.
 * Matt: Why are you telling me this?
 * Urich: They say the Kingpin doesn't just kill you. He kills your whole family. I think your girl's in trouble. I thought you might know somebody that could protect her.

 * (Elektra, armed and suited up in leather, attacks Daredevil intent on murder)
 * Elektra: Remember me?
 * Daredevil: It wasn't me! Stop! It was a hitman named Bullseye. I didn't kill your father!
 * Elektra: Liar.

 * Daredevil: (restraining Elektra) I'm not gonna fight you.
 * Elektra: Good. Then, this will be quick.
 * (Elektra breaks free from Daredevil)

 * Elektra: (after being stabbed) Help me.
 * Daredevil: Stay, stay with me.
 * (Elektra dies)

 * (Father Everett finds Daredevil, badly wounded, in the church; Bullseye enters in pursuit and sends a throwing star into the wall above the Father's head)
 * Bullseye: The first one's a warning... padre.
 * Daredevil: Is there a back door out of here?
 * Father Everett: Yes.
 * Daredevil: Take it.
 * Father Everett: What about you?
 * Daredevil: I'm gonna finish this.
 * Father Everett: You can't fight like this, son!
 * Daredevil: Have faith, Father. Isn't that right?

 * Bullseye: Fisk was right about you. He said you wouldn't go easy.
 * Daredevil: Fisk? Fisk is the Kingpin?
 * Bullseye: Yeah. That whole red rose thing? He loves that shite. It's not my style. He hired me to kill Natchios, and to gut your pretty girlfriend too. But me, I'm going for the hat-trick. I told him I'd do you for free.

 * Wesley: There's been a problem.
 * Wilson Fisk: Bullseye failed.
 * Wesley: Correct.
 * Fisk: Send the guards home.
 * Wesley: (confused) B-but, sir...
 * Fisk: I was raised in the Bronx, Wesley. This is something you wouldn't understand.

 * Wilson Fisk: It's a shame you came here wounded. I would've loved to fight you in your prime. They called you the man without fear. If that's true, why are you afraid to show your face? (pulls off Daredevil's mask and is laughing) No, I don't believe this. No, no. The blind lawyer from Hell's Kitchen?
 * Matt Murdock: You killed the only two people I ever loved. Why?
 * Fisk: Business. That's all it ever is, is business. I was working for Fallon at the time. Your father was supposed to throw a fight. And your girl was in the wrong family at the wrong time. It's all business. (long pause) And you've been in my business for too long!

 * Fisk: You hear that, blind man? Sirens. They're coming for you.
 * Matt: For me? Didn't you hear? The word's out on the Kingpin. They're coming for you. I can hear the police radios from here.
 * Fisk: No, no. I swear, I'll tell 'em who you are.
 * Matt: Yeah? Go ahead. Tell 'em. Tell all the guys at Ryker's all about how you got beat by a blind man. It'll be like blood in the water.
 * Fisk: Oh, don't worry about that. Cause I'll get out.
 * Matt: Yeah, I know. And I'll be waiting. Justice is served.

About Daredevil (film)

 * Q: How did you prepare to play a blind man?
 * A: I wanted to learn what it was like to live with no sight. I worked with this amazing guy named Tom Sullivan. He's blind and climbs Mount Everest, which really puts your own life in perspective. I also wore these special contact lenses that made my eyes looked scarred and opaque from the radiation accident that had originally blinded Daredevil.
 * Q: How is Daredevil different from other superheroes?
 * A: A lot. The vigilante element in his character puts him at the far end of these guys; not to mention his religion and belief in Catholicism. Overall, he's more human and he battles with the same things the rest of us do on an everyday basis. Also, the heart of the movie is a love story with Jennifer Garner [who plays Elektra]. That's also what made the movie different and more interesting than a lot of other comic book movies.
 * Ben Affleck, “Ben Affleck Daredevil Interview”, Alana Lee, BBC, (2003/02/10).

 * I was very familiar with the Kingpin. When I read the comic books, that was the only person I read it for. Growing up like I did, I never thought I'd be able to portray this guy. When they came to me and said I could be the Kingpin and I get to fight Ben, I said, 'Yeah!' It was like a dream come true."
 * Michael Clarke Duncan in "Affleck, Garner Open Up About 'Daredevil'", Ryan J Downey, MTV, (06/21/2002).
 * There must be a woman, and in "Daredevil" there is one (only one, among all those major make characters, although the fragrant Ellen Pompeo has a slink-on). She is Elektra Natchios (Jennifer Garner), who, like her classical namesake, wants to avenge the death of her father. By day, she is, well, pretty much as she is by night. She and Daredevil are powerfully attracted to each other, and even share some PG-13 sex, which is a relief because when superheroes have sex at the R level, I am always afraid someone will get hurt. There is a rather beautiful scene where he asks her to stand in the rain because his ears are so sensitive they can create an image of her face from the sound of the raindrops.
 * Daredevil describes himself as a "guardian devil," and that means there are guardian angels, and that means God exists and, by a process of logical deduction, that Matt Murdock is a Catholic. Please address your correspondence to Rome. The movie is actually pretty good. Affleck and Garner probe for the believable corners of their characters, do not overact, are given semi-particular dialogue, and are in a very good-looking movie. Most of the tension takes place between the characters, not the props. There is, of course, a fancy formal ball to which everyone is invited (Commissioner Gordon must have been at the rival affair across town).
 * Roger Ebert, “Daredevil”, Rogerebert.com, (February 14, 2003).
 * Q: In this movie you’re playing an unrelentingly bad villain. Did you work on finding the human side of the villain?
 * A: Not this time. I mean I’m a great man for trying to find shades in characters, different layers and all that kind of bullshit that actors talk about, I’m a great man for that, but this time it was a chance for me to just check my sanity in at the door and just have a field day. Not worry about a dead father or a prisoner of war camp or finding out who the killer is. Not worrying about anything past or future. Just worrying about being exactly in the now and just dealing with that. Bullseye was great. He was so black and white. There were no shades of gray. He was just an insane assassin and derived so much pleasure from his work as a killer. He’s like a cat with a ball of thread. In the fight with Elektra, that’s what I mean. He’s just on top of the world when he’s into having a fight with Elektra and he’s just toying with her like she’s a piece of thread.
 * Colin Farrell, "‘Oh my God, I’m ridiculous!’ Colin Farrell talks ‘Daredevil’" by Rob Worley, CBR.com, (02.06.2003).

 * Q: How does Daredevil compare to other comic book heroes?
 * A: Daredevil stands out because he's real. He's superhuman, not a superhero. He is an ordinary guy who happens to have these incredibly acute senses. He is compelled to be out in the world taking care of crimes, one at a time. He's not about saving the whole world. He's about saving his own neighbourhood, a ten-block radius. And it's not the huge crimes he's interested in. It's saving a little boy from being beaten or saving a woman from being raped.
 * Q: What drives Elektra?
 * A: She's driven by vengeance. She's a very dark woman. But the great thing about this movie is that it starts with her falling in love. What was fun about playing her was that I got to play both the tenderness and the blissfulness of falling in love, and also her vengeful darker side.
 * Jennifer Garner, “Jennifer Garner Daredevil Interview” Alana Lee, BBC, (2003/02/11).

 * ‘Daredevil’ was an R and I had to cut things out to make it a PG-13 and this is just like, there is so much stuff in it that I thought, ‘Oh my God, we’re dead.’ But we made it which is amazing. You know what’s funny is that what made ‘Daredevil’ an R is there was this scene where Bullseye kills Elektra, he gutted her – that was okay. He kissed her afterwards and then he threw her down. The kiss gave us an R. Isn’t that weird? Its okay to kill a girl, but you just can’t kiss her afterwards because somehow that’s repulsive. I don’t know.
 * Last time it was like, ‘We love “Daredevil,” but we don’t want to do horns and a costume. It’s silly.’ It was like, ‘But that’s it. That’s the character.’ That’s the hard part. Fans get angry and are like, ‘He’s in a leather costume. That’s not what the comic is.’ You want to say, ‘Look, I love you guys, but you don’t understand. There was no costume! I fought just to get a costume and just to have the horns and the double d. That was months of fighting.’ Again though, no one is the bad guy here. They gave me a big shot and they were very supportive in the end, but these movies are difficult. They’re very hard.
 * Mark Steven Johnson in "Frosty Interviews Mark Steven Johnson – The Writer/Director of ‘Ghost Rider’" by Steve Frost Weintraub, Collider, (Dec 5, 2006).

 * Daredevil…gets his ass kicked a lot in the movie. I think that’s cool! You know what I mean? Because anybody that gets hit fifty times in a Hong Kong movie and they’re fine, there’s always this like BOP-BOP-BOP-BOP-BOP and then there’s that one BOP and a guy goes flying and it’s like, what was so special about that one and why didn’t you do that sooner, dude? What have you been doing this for?
 * So in ‘Daredevil’ I really wanted to show repercussions to the violence. When Daredevil gets beaten up you see what it’s doing to his body. He’s pulling a tooth out of his mouth, like in ‘Ninja Scroll,’ which kind of inspired that scene, or the pain pills and the knee surgery and the back scars. It’s like, wow, this guy’s only thirty years old and literally his body’s falling apart!
 * I think that’s really interesting. So I really wanted to show that he’s not impervious to pain. That when there’s a fight, he also gets hurt.

 * I wanted to show like, instead of ‘golly gee, how great to be a superhero,’ I wanted to show the dark side of being a superhero. That was really appealing to me to show something different.
 * Mark Steven Johnson in "Bringing sight to ‘Daredevil;’ director Mark Steven Johnson discusses the movie" by Rob Worley, CBR.com, (1.31.2003).

Talk:Survivor (Palahniuk novel)

I loved survivor just like all of the rest of Palahniuk's books because just like his others, it makes fun of an aspect of society. Survivor was great because it had more action than Choke. It's the most comparable to Fight Club of all of his works. Props to Chuck! His style of writing is very impressive and i love the outlook his characters always have on everything. Also how he anylizes every little situation to me it so much more interesting. i still have a few of his books to read... I'm looking forward to Lullaby.

 * Happy birthday, sir. What are you, like, 200 today?

 * I have no life.

 * Sorry I'm not better lookin’.

 * Shit your pants? So did I.

I added the cleanup tag because the page does not comply with the literary quotation guidelines: it sorts quotations by person rather than by chapter. Please see GtL and Templates/Literary works ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 08:43, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

 * No offense taken. I just started editing on Wikiquote.  I'll see what I can do. Palm dogg 09:06, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Bolding
It's really not a good practice to bold only certain parts of a quote. I understand that the point is to emphasize a certain section of a longer quote, but if that's necessary, you should really consider just using the shorter quote. When you bold something, you are usurping the writer's perogative to emphasize what he or she wants to have emphasized, and you thereby alter the quote. This is the equivalent to imposing a point of view, which (as I understand it) is a WikiProject no-no. (It's true that simply by selecting the quote you've exhibited a point of view, but that's really as far as it should go.) When people in argumentation add emphasis to an existing quote, they're usually careful to note this in some way -- such as writing "emphasis added" at the end -- because it alerts the reader to the fact that the quoters POV is being asserted. In this clean-up I've endeavored to remove all bolding.

Pictures
I would like remove the picture which accompanies the quote "A soldier accepts personal responsibility for the safety of the body politic of which he is a member, defending it, if need be, with his life. The civilian does not." It doesn't add any particular informational value, is not illustrative - and it only shows couple of fans dressing up so it doesn't relate to the really to the quote. If a picture - one from the film would make sense - but then copyright would become a problem. Am waiting for a while and if no feedback I will remove the picture. 46.7.56.247 01:29, 19 July 2014 (UTC) M.
 * Though the cosplay models are perhaps no more genuine manifestations of the ideas and ideals of Heinlein's statements than the actors in the film were, they are certainly no less representational of some aspects of the statement which captions the image, and thus the image is clearly relevant to the theme of the statement, and they are equipped with mockup guns similar to those used in the film. This is a significant statement, but as there are other significant statements which could be emphasized with images, I will probably add a few more. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 11:48, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
 * They're certainly very jarring. Comes off like deliberate vandalization. 152.86.91.217 22:22, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The images are of humans in military uniforms, such as are related to the story in both written and film versions; I do not perceive it extraordinary or extraordinarily jarring to illustrate a page on a military story with humans in related military uniforms. I also restored the statement of Daniel Daly which Heinlein quotes as the epigraph of the book. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki ⚚⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 23:19, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Patton (film)

Patton is a 1970 American biographical war film about U.S. General George S. Patton during World War II, starring George C. Scott, Karl Malden and Michael Bates.
 * Directed by Franklin J. Schaffner. Written by Francis Ford Coppola and Edmund H. North.

General George S. Patton

'''Men, all this stuff you've heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans, traditionally, love to fight.''' All real Americans love the sting of battle. When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooters, the fastest runners, big league ball players, the toughest boxers. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost and will never lose a war, because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans. Now, an army is a team. It lives, eats, sleeps, fights as a team. This individuality stuff is a bunch of crap. The bilious bastards who wrote that stuff about individuality for the Saturday Evening Post don't know anything more about real battle than they do about fornicating. Now, we have the finest food and equipment, the best spirit, and the best men in the world. You know, by God I, I actually pity those poor bastards we're going up against, by God, I do. We're not just going to shoot the bastards; we're going to cut out their living guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lousy Hun bastards by the bushel. Now, some of you boys, I know, are wondering whether or not you'll chicken out under fire. Don't worry about it. I can assure you that you will all do your duty. '''The Nazis are the enemy. Wade into them.' Spill their'' blood. Shoot them in the belly. When you put your hand into a bunch of goo that a moment before was your best friend's face, you'll know what to do. Now there's another thing I want you to remember: '''I don't want to get any messages saying that we are holding our position. We're not holding anything. Let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly and we're not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy.''' We're going to hold onto him by the nose and we're going to kick him in the ass! We're going to kick the hell out of him all the time, and we're going to go through him like crap through a goose! Now, there's one thing that you men will be able to say when you get back home. And you may thank God for it. Thirty years from now when you’re sitting around your fireside with your grandson on your knee, and he asks you: "What did you do in the great World War II?" You won't have to say, "Well, I shoveled shit in Louisiana." All right, now, you sons-of-bitches, you know how I feel. Oh... I will be proud to lead you wonderful guys into battle anytime, anywhere. That's all.
 * [addressing the troops] I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor, dumb bastard die for his country.

Midst the pomp and toils of war, Have I fought and strove and perished Countless times upon a star. '''As if through a glass, and darkly The age-old strife I see — Where I fought in many guises, many names — but always me.' Me.
 * [to Omar Bradley while visiting the ruins of Carthage] It was here. The battlefield was here. The Carthaginians defending the city were attacked by three Roman Legions. The Carthaginians were proud and brave but they couldn't hold. They were massacred. The Arab women stripped them of the tunics and swords and lances. And the soldiers lay naked in the sun. Two-thousand years ago. I was here. You don't believe me, do you, Brad? You know what the poet said:
 * ''Through the travail of ages,
 * Do you know who the poet was?

 * [seeing his troops rout General Erwin Rommel's 21st Panzer Division at El Guettar] Rommel... you magnificent bastard, I read your book!

 * [writing about the death of his favorite aide, Captain Richard N. "Dick" Jenson, at the Battle of El Guettar] Captain Richard N. Jenson was a fine boy. Loyal, unselfish, and efficient. I am terribly sorry. There are no coffins here since there's no wood. We will have a trumpeter and an honor guard, but we will not fire the volleys, as it would make people think an air raid was on. I enclosed a lock of Dick's hair in a letter to his mother. He was a fine man and a fine officer. And he had no vices. I shall miss him a lot. I can't see the reason such fine young men get killed. There are so many battles yet to fight.

I assure you I had no intention of being either harsh or cruel in my treatment of the soldier in question. My sole purpose was to try and to restore him some appreciation of his obligation as a man, and as a soldier. If one can shame a coward, I felt, one might help him regain his self-respect. This was on my mind. Now I freely admit that my method was wrong, but I hope you can understand my motive, and will accept this explanation, and this apology. Dismissed.
 * [addressing 7th Army troops in an apology about the soldier-slapping incident] At ease.[Long pause] I thought I would stand up here and let you people see if I am as big of a son-of-a-bitch as some of you think I am. [Troops laugh]

 * [ranting about being assigned to lead the First United States Army Group I feel I am destined to achieve some great thing — what, I don't know. But this last incident is so trivial in its nature and so terrible in its effect — it can't be the result of an accident. It has to be the work of God.  The last great opportunity of a lifetime — an entire world at war and I'm left out of it? God will not permit this to happen! I will be allowed to fulfill my destiny! … His will be done.

 * [commenting to an aide, while reviewing a battle site the morning after] Fixed fortifications are man's monument to stupidity. When mountain ranges and oceans can be overcome, anything built by man can be overcome. You know how I know that they're finished out there? The carts. They're using carts to lug their supplies and wounded. In my dreams I saw the carts. They kept buzzing around in my head and I couldn't figure out why. Then I remembered: the nightmare in the snow -- the endless, agonizing retreat from Moscow. God the cold! The wounded, and what was left of the supplies, were thrown into carts. Napoleon was finished. No color left, not even the red of blood. Only snow.

 * [to staff, noting the obvious lack of German activity as winter sets in] There's absolutely no reason for us to assume the Germans are mounting a major offensive. The weather is awful, Their supplies are low, and the German army hasn't mounted a winter offensive since the time of Frederick the Great — therefore I believe that's exactly what they're going to do.

 * [voiceover in the wake of his relief from Third Army] For over a thousand years, Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of a triumph — a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeters and musicians and strange animals from the conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conqueror rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children, robed in white, stood with him in the chariot, or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror, holding a golden crown, and whispering in his ear a warning — that all glory is fleeting.

Dialogue

 * [General Patton tours a tent and sees a shell-shocked soldier]
 * Patton: What's the matter with you?
 * Bennet: I, I guess I just can't take it sir.
 * Patton: What did you say?
 * Bennet: It's my nerves sir. I, I, I just can't stand the shelling anymore. [starts sobbing]
 * Patton: Your nerves? Why, hell, you are just a goddamned coward. [stands and slaps Bennet's helmet with his gloves] Shut up. I won't have a yellow bastard sitting here crying, in front of these brave men who have been wounded in battle. [Bennet continues to sob] SHUT UP! [strikes the man again, knocking his helmet liner off; he turns to the admitting officer and yells] Don't admit this yellow bastard. There's nothing wrong with him! I won't have sons-of-bitches-bastards who are afraid to fight stinking up this place of honor! [Turns back to Bennet] You're going back to the front, my friend. You may get shot and you may get killed, but you're going up to the fighting. Either that or I stand you up in front of a firing squad. I [grabs for his pistol] ought to shoot you myself, you goddamned little whimpering bastard! Get him out of here! [two orderlies grab Bennet and take him out of tent.] Send him up to the front! You hear me! You GODDAMN COWARD! [starts walking out of the tent] I won't have cowards in my army.

 * Bradley: You wanted to see me, George?
 * Patton: Got a letter here from Ike. [hands letter to Bradley] I, ah, was re-reading Caesar's Commentaries last night. In battle Caesar wore a red robe to distinguish him from his men. I, ah, was struck by that fact, because... [pause] "Despicable" — that's the first time in my life anyone ever applied that word to me.
 * Bradley: Well, ah, at least it's a personal reprimand. It's not official.
 * Patton: The man was yellow, he should have been tried for cowardice and shot. My God, have they forgotten about all of the people who have taken a hell of a lot worse than a little kick in the pants? I ruffled his pride a little bit. What's that compared to war? Two weeks ago when we took Palermo they called me a hero, said I was the greatest general since Stonewall Jackson.
 * Bradley: And now they draw cartoons about you. [Bradley looks at newspaper cartoon]
 * Patton: Dirty bastard. They got me holding a little G.I. there and kicking him with an iron boot. Do you see that? What's on my boot? A swastika. On my boot. An iron boot with a swastika on it! [Throws newspaper down in anger, picks up the letter a reads a portion of it] "You will apologize to the soldier you slapped. To all doctors and nurses who were present in the tent at the time. To every patient in the tent who can be reached. And last but not least, to the Seventh Army as a whole, through individual units one at a time." God, I feel low.

 * [on having his operations delayed, in favor of advances by Field Marshall Montgomery]
 * Patton: If you won't let me kill the enemy, why did you pick me to command?
 * Bradley: I didn't pick you! Ike picked you. George, you have performed brilliantly. You are loyal, dedicated — you're one of the best field commanders I've got — but you don't know when to shut up, George! You’re a pain in the neck.
 * [Patton and Bradley are silent for a few moments]
 * Patton: I have a lot of faults Brad, but ingratitude isn't one of them. I owe you a lot. Hell, I know I'm a prima donna — I admit it! What I can't stand about Monty is he won't admit it.

 * [Patton and his aide Lt. Col. Codman, while surveying the aftermath of a brutal fight between American and German forces, encounter a dazed and wounded US Army tank commander, who is sitting down by his tank]
 * Patton: [kneeling down beside the wounded officer] Were you in command here, captain?
 * Tank Commander: I was in command. My tank platoon was supporting an infantry company. The tanks ran out of gas, so we had to fight it out. We started at eleven o'clock last night. Finished a couple hours ago. This morning, the fighting was hand-to-hand.
 * [Patton looks around the battlefield and sees a dead American soldier with a knife in his stomach, lying next to a dead German soldier. He turns back to the wounded tank captain, leans down, and kisses him on the top of his head]

 * [hearing the objections to a plan to swing three Third Army divisions north to Bastogne to relieve the surrounded 101st Airborne]
 * Patton: I trained these men. They'll do what I tell them to do.
 * British officer: Perhaps we hadn't realized you were quite so popular with your troops, General.
 * Patton: I'm not. They'll do it because they're good soldiers. And because they realize like I do, that we could still lose this war.
 * British officer: Well, I think I can speak for Field Marshall Montgomery — he'd say you're asking the impossible of your men.
 * Patton: Of course he would. Because he's never realized that's what we're in business for.

 * Colonel Gaston Bell: General McAuliffe refused a German surrender demand. You know what he said?
 * Patton: What?
 * Bell: "Nuts!"
 * Patton: [laughing] Keep them moving, Colonel. A man that eloquent has to be saved.

 * [during a Soviet-American celebration after the fall of Berlin]
 * Russian Translator: Sir, General Katukov would like to know whether you will join him, to drink to the surrender of Germany.
 * Patton: My compliments to the General; please inform him that I do not care to drink with him, or any other Russian son of a bitch.
 * Russian Translator: [aghast] Sir, I-I cannot tell the General that!
 * Patton: You tell him that. Tell him word for word.
 * Russian Translator: [nervously, in Russian] He says he will not drink with you, or any other Russian son of a bitch.
 * General Katukov: [angrily, in Russian] Tell him he is a son of a bitch, too! Now!
 * Russian Translator: [nervously] The General says, he thinks that you are a son of a bitch, too!
 * [Patton starts laughing]
 * Patton: Okay. I'll drink to that. One son of a bitch to another!

Quotes about Patton

 * The most refreshing thing about "Patton" is that here — I think for the first time — the subject matter and the style of the epic war movie are perfectly matched. War was, for Patton, his destiny and sometimes great fun. Thus the big, magnificently staged battle scenes (photographed in marvelous, clear, deep focus), are not giving the lie to a film that, like "The Longest Day," would have us believe piously that war is hell. … Although the cast is large, the only performance of note is that of Scott, who is continuously entertaining and, occasionally, very appealing. He dominates the film, even its ambiguities, although he never quite convinced me that Patton, by any stretch of the imagination, could be called a rebel against anything except the good, gray, dull forces of bleeding heart liberalism.
 * Vincent Canby, in "Patton (1970) The Screen: 'Patton: Salute to Rebel" in The New York Times (5 February 1970)

 * The epic American war movie that Hollywood has always wanted to make but never had the guts to do before.
 * Vincent Canby, as quoted in Madison Capital Times (17 July 1970), p. 21

 * The Bradley name gets heavy billing on a picture of [a] comrade that, while not caricature, is the likeness of a victorious, glory-seeking buffoon … Patton in the flesh was an enigma. He so stays in the film. … Napoleon once said that the art of the general is not strategy but knowing how to mold human nature … Maybe that is all producer Frank McCarthy and Gen. Bradley, his chief advisor, are trying to say. And maybe, just maybe, obsequious sycophants should not be allowed to lead armies.
 * S. L. A. Marshall, on the portrayals George S. Patton and Omar Bradley in the film, in "Great Georgie Redone", in The Charleston Gazette (21 March 1970), § 4. p. 4

 * The war movie for people who hate war movies!
 * Rex Reed, as quoted in Madison Capital Times (17 July 1970), p. 21

Category:War films

War film is a film genre concerned with warfare, typically about naval, air, or land battles in the twentieth century, with combat scenes central to the drama. The fateful nature of battle scenes means that war films often end with them. Themes explored include combat, survival and escape, sacrifice, the futility and inhumanity of battle, the effects of war on society, and the moral and human issues raised by war.

Barbarella (film)

Barbarella (aka Barbarella: Queen of the Galaxy) is a 1968 tongue-in-cheek erotic science fiction film about a sexy Earth government agent (played by Jane Fonda) who is on a mission to find mad scientist Durand Durand and stop him from resurrecting the "neurotic irresponsibility" of war in a peaceful universe. On her journey, she encounters many strange creatures and compromising situations that help her to discover what the mild-mannered Solar System has lost in its enlightened but dull existence.
 * Directed by Roger Vadim. Screenplay by Terry Southern, Roger Vadim, and Claude Brulé, based on the comic Barbarella by Jean-Claude Forest.

 * Barbarella: I mean, the universe has been pacified for centuries… sir.
 * President: What we know of it. The trouble is, we don't know anything about Tau Ceti or its inhabitants.
 * Barbarella: You mean they could still be living in a primitive state of neurotic irresponsibility?
 * President: Precisely.
 * Barbarella: Something must be done!
 * President: Yes. And you are the girl who must do it.

 * [Barbarella thanks Mark Hand for saving her from the vicious biting dolls.]
 * Barbarella: I'm so grateful for what you've done, I hardly know how to begin to thank you. I'm positive I can get you some sort of recompense from my government. I mean, if— if there's anything you need, or that I can do, please tell me.

 * Barbarella: "Make love", did you say?
 * Mark Hand: Yes!
 * Barbarella: What do you mean? You don't even know my psychocardiogram!
 * Mark Hand: Eh?
 * Barbarella: Well, on Earth, for centuries, people haven't made love unless their psychocardiogram readings were in perfect confluence.
 * Barbarella: Do you have any pills?
 * Mark Hand: Pills?!
 * Barbarella: Oh, never mind. I have some here.
 * Mark Hand: Uh, b-b-uh… what is this pill?
 * Barbarella: It's an exaltation transference pellet, of course.
 * Mark Hand: Hmm. I know nothing of this.
 * Barbarella: I see. Well, on Earth, when our psychocardiogram readings are in perfect confluence, and we wish to "make love", as you call it, we take an exaltation transference pellet, and remain like this — here, let me show you…

 * Barbarella: I'm from the planet Earth. My name is Barbarella.
 * [He reaches out and caresses her face.]
 * Pygar: But you're soft and warm! We're told that Earth beings are cold.
 * Barbarella: [slyly smiling] Not all of us.

 * [Two men, ominously advancing on a supine Barbarella, are stabbed from behind by a menacing one-eyed woman (who we'll later learn is the Great Tyrant).]
 * Great Tyrant: Hello, Pretty-Pretty.
 * Barbarella: [uneasily] Hello.
 * [Barbarella stands.]
 * Barbarella: Thank you very much.
 * Great Tyrant: Do you want to come and play with me? For someone like you I charge nothing.
 * [Barbarella tries to run, but the woman grabs her by the arm and draws her close.]
 * Great Tyrant: You're very pretty, Pretty-Pretty.
 * Barbarella: My name isn't Pretty-Pretty, it's Barbarella.

 * [Escaping from the Great Tyrant, Barbarella hears a nearby commotion.]
 * Barbarella: That's screaming! A good many dramatic situations begin with screaming.

 * [Barbarella draws Pygar's hand across some raised lettering.]
 * Barbarella: Pygar, come. Tell me what that means.
 * Pygar: "Chamber… of Ultimate… Solution".
 * Barbarella: I don't like the sound of that.

 * The Chamber: Ye who have chosen to die, be welcome! To terminate the bitterness of life, you are entitled to select from three exciting and surprising forms of death, one of which awaits beyond each of the doors you see before you. Should you fail to choose, you will be given to the Mathmos. There is no appeal.

 * [The Concierge leads Barbarella to a room, where the menacing woman emerges, both eyes now intact.]
 * Great Tyrant: So, my Pretty-Pretty, we meet again.
 * Barbarella: You! The little one-eyed wench!
 * Great Tyrant: You have a good memory, Pretty-Pretty. Yes, sometimes I like to go among my people. Be like them. Ordinary. "Evil", as you would call it. So… I'm your little one-eyed wench. I'm also the Great Tyrant.
 * Barbarella: Well! That's nice.
 * Great Tyrant: It amuses me immensely! Now I suppose you're interested in the whereabouts and welfare of a certain party, yes?
 * Barbarella: W— yes, I am! I'm here on the orders of the President of the Republic of Earth. I'm here to find Durand-Durand.
 * Great Tyrant: I'm not talking about him! I'm speaking of the angel!
 * Barbarella: Pygar?
 * Great Tyrant: Yes, Pygar. He has escaped the labyrinth. Crime. He has destroyed twelve of my black guards. Crime. And he dares to deprive me of a pleasure unique in Sogo — an Earthling. Crime! Crime!
 * Barbarella: Where is Pygar?
 * Great Tyrant: You want your fine-feathered friend?
 * [The Great Tyrant nods her head toward something behind Barbarella.]
 * Great Tyrant: There he is.
 * [A curtain of snow dissolves to reveal Pygar, tied to a crossbar, wings spread as if crucified.]
 * Barbarella: Pygar!
 * Great Tyrant: Amusing, isn't it, Pretty-Pretty? Don't you feel like playing?
 * [Barbarella surreptitiously draws Pygar's concealed blaster and grabs the Great Tyrant.]
 * Barbarella: De-crucify the angel!
 * Great Tyrant: What?
 * Barbarella: De-crucify him or I'll melt your face!
 * [The Concierge relieves Barbarella of her discharged weapon.]
 * Great Tyrant: So it was a trick, was it? You should have saved your tricks for… for…
 * Concierge: For the birds, Your Majesty?
 * Great Tyrant: Yes! Yes, the birds! The birds! Give her to the birds!
 * Concierge: For the birds, Your Majesty?
 * Great Tyrant: Yes! Yes, the birds! The birds! Give her to the birds!

 * [As Barbarella is dragged off, the Great Tyrant lays out Pygar and sinuously crawls over him.]
 * Great Tyrant: Tell me, my fancy, fuzzy freak — what do you think of, when you make love to Barbarella?
 * Pygar: Make love? I do not understand.
 * Great Tyrant: Don't be coy with me — you are in no position. If only you had one eye in your head…
 * [In his "touching" style, he caresses her… features.]
 * Great Tyrant: … you would see what a delight I am! My face, my body — all my things are a delight! An exquisite delight.
 * Pygar: What is it you want?
 * Great Tyrant: I shall share my delights with you. You shall make love to me.
 * Pygar: An angel does not make love. An angel is love.
 * Great Tyrant: Then you're a dead duck. Guards! To the Mathmos with this winged fruitcake!

 * [In an obvious homage to Hitchcock's The Birds, Barbarella is being chewed on (and disrobed) by colorful birds.]
 * Barbarella: This is really much too poetic a way to die!

 * [Barbarella falls down a chute into a room filled with phallic transport tubes, operated by a wiry, caped man.]
 * Dildano: The password — quickly!
 * Barbarella: I don't understand!
 * Dildano: Are you not a political prisoner?
 * Barbarella: I don't think so.
 * Dildano: Then you're not one of us.
 * Barbarella: I'm from Earth.
 * Dildano: Earth! Planet of the revolutions! W-w-will you join our cause?
 * Barbarella: What cause? Who are you?
 * Dildano: I-I'm Dildano, head of the revolutionary forces. This is our headquarters.
 * Barbarella: I suppose you realize you've saved my life.
 * Dildano: A life without cause is a life without effect.
 * Barbarella: Well, I-I'm sure I could get you a substantial recompense from my government.
 * Dildano: Earth woman. Shall I tell you what I would like?
 * [She gives him a rather pleased look.]
 * Barbarella: I think I know.
 * [She moves toward a bed and begins to undress.]
 * Dildano: No! No, not like that! Like on Earth, on-on-on Ea— on Earth! The pill! I-I-I have the pill!
 * Barbarella: But… uh… Couldn't we do it your way? I don't want to change your traditions.
 * Barbarella: But… uh… Couldn't we do it your way? I don't want to change your traditions.

 * [Dildano tries to enlist Barbarella's aid in defeating the Black Queen.]
 * Dildano: She sleeps alone in a room above the Mathmos, surrounded by a wall of impenetrable energy, to which she alone has the secret key. There exists, however, a second secret key, which my agents have located, and is now in my possession. You want to discover the whereabouts of Durand Durand. I want to capture the Black Queen. You follow my meaning.
 * Barbarella: If you really do have the second secret key… why haven't you used it already?
 * Dildano: Ah!
 * [He looks confused.]
 * Dildano: Ah. Ah — ah! Because our forces have not as yet been strong enough! The capture of the Black Queen, ah… has to be associated with a military… coup! Hmm. With your weaponry and spacecraft, this can be brought about. With the Black Queen in your control, you can get her to divulge the whereabouts of Durand Durand!
 * Barbarella: Yes, I see.
 * [He turns to look at her, relieved.]
 * Dildano: Good.

 * [Dildano arranges a clandestine meeting with Professor Ping.]
 * Dildano: Our rendezvous point will be at 1600 hours. And our password will be… "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch".
 * Barbarella: You mean, the secret password is "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch"?
 * Dildano: Exactly.

 * [Dildano looks at his secret chute map.]
 * Dildano: The time is right! The Queen is in her Chamber of Dreams.
 * Barbarella: What about the key?
 * Dildano: Ah, the key.
 * [He brings over a case and opens it, revealing… nothing.]
 * Dildano: There is the secret key.
 * Dildano: Where?
 * Dildano: It's invisible, of course. Only an invisible key can open an invisible wall.

 * [Barbarella survives the Concierge's deadly musical orgasm machine, but it overloads, the cables catching fire.]
 * Concierge: I don't believe it! Wretched, wretched girl! What have you done to my Excessive Machine?! You've undone it! You've undone me! Look! The energy cables are shrinking! You've turned them into faggots! You've— you've burned out the Excessive Machine! You've blown all its fuses!
 * Barbarella: [sighing] My goodness!

 * [The Concierge, revealed as Durand Durand himself, rants about his new purpose.]
 * Durand Durand: I speak of the dignity… the nobility of pure evil!
 * Barbarella: What have you done with the positronic ray?
 * Durand Durand: Oh, so that's it.
 * Barbarella: What does it do?
 * Durand Durand: All persons and objects in its path are de-minimalized to the fourth level.
 * Barbarella: You mean—
 * Durand Durand: That's right. Replaced in the fourth dimension, irretrievably.
 * [Dr. Durand explains his reluctance to attack the Black Queen.]
 * Durand Durand: Whoever succeeds in killing her will be put immediately to a horrible death. Hence my prudence.
 * [His manic expression turns to one of dismay.]
 * Durand Durand: I find horrible the idea that one could do to me, that which I do to others.
 * [His manic expression turns to one of dismay.]
 * Durand Durand: I find horrible the idea that one could do to me, that which I do to others.

 * [Barbarella tries to rouse the Queen in her Chamber of Dreams.]
 * Barbarella: Wake up, Your Majesty! You must wake up!
 * Great Tyrant: Vade retro, Earth girl! I know you don't really exist.
 * Barbarella: That may be, Your Majesty, but we'd better stick to what we see.

 * [Barbarella and the Great Tyrant are in a small bubble inside the swirling lava-lamp-like Mathmos.]
 * Barbarella: Where are we?
 * Great Tyrant: In the Mathmos, and alive!
 * Barbarella: I can see that, but why?
 * Great Tyrant: It seems the Mathmos has created this bubble to protect itself from your innocence.
 * [The women's bubble is deposited on solid ground, breaking open.]
 * Great Tyrant: You are so good, you made the Mathmos vomit.
 * Great Tyrant: You are so good, you made the Mathmos vomit.

Talk:Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Did Chardin say any or all of the following (commonly attributed):- "The world belongs to those who give it greatest hope or The world belongs to those who bring to it the greatest hope or The world belongs to those who offer it hope or The world belongs to those who can offer it the greatest hope

'have to admit I never looked at the French version, but in good old P.T.de Chardin fashion I used my intuition and the first thing that came to mind and heart were the words of another poet, Emily Dickinson I believe said something in the order of :'Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul; it sings the song without the words and never stops at all; I've heard it in the chillest lands and on the strangest seas yet never in extremity it asked a crumb of me.' That for me describes hope to a 'T'. And in that sense we can't 'bring', 'give' or 'offer' it to the world. As in our hearts I guess at best it has to be kindled or awakened. So, could it be that Teilhard tried to say:

'Those who awaken it's hope belong to the world.' ?

Thanks for bearing this with me, this is joe, over and out, AROHANUI

 * All abstract knowledge is a faded reality: this is because to understand the world is not enough, you must see it, touch it, live in its presence and drink the vital heat of existence in the very heart of reality.

 * Great truths are felt before they are expressed.

 * He that will believe only what he can fully comprehend must have a long head or a very short creed.

 * In the final analysis, the questions of why bad things happen to good people transmutes itself into some very different questions, no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it happened.
 * In When Bad Things Happen to Good People (1981) Harold Kushner wrote (p. 197) "In the final analysis, the questions of why bad things happen to good people translates itself into some very different questions, no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it happened" (note that Kushner used "translates" rather than "transmutes"). I don't know that he didn't plagarize it from de Chardin, but I was unable to find any similar quote in the latter's works. --Hughh (talk) 20:53, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Is the Kingdom of God a big family? Yes, in a sense it is. But in another sense it is a prodigious biological operation— that of the Redeeming Incarnation.

 * It is not our heads or our bodies which we must bring together, but our hearts. . . . Humanity. . . is building its composite brain beneath our eyes. May it not be that tomorrow, through the logical and biological deepening of the movement drawing it together, it will find its heart, without which the ultimate wholeness of its power of unification can never be achieved?

 * Love is the most powerful and still most unknown energy in the world.

 * Nothing is precious except that part of you which is in other people, and that part of others which is in you. Up there, on high, everything is one.

 * Our duty, as men and women is to proceed as if limits to our ability did not exist. We are collaborators in creation.
 * variant: It is our duty as men and women to proceed as though the limits of our abilities do not exist.

 * The Age of Nations is past. The task before us now, if we would not perish, is to build the Earth. from Building the Earth, Dimension Books 1965 p54

 * The conclusion is always the same: love is the most powerful and still the most unknown energy of the world.

 * The most satisfying thing in life is to have been able to give a large part of one's self to others.

 * The resources at our disposal today, the powers that we have released, could not possibly be absorbed by the narrow system of individual or national units which the architects of the human earth have hitherto used. The age of nations has passed. Now, unless we wish to perish we must shake off our old prejudices and build the earth. The more scientifically I regard the world, the less can I see any possible biological future for it except the active consciousness of its unity.

 * These perspectives will appear absurd to those who don't see that life is, from its origins, groping, adventurous, and dangerous. But these perspectives will grow, like an irresistible idea on the horizon of new generations.

 * The whole of life lies in the verb seeing.

 * To love is to approach each other center to center.

 * We are one, after all, you and I, together we suffer, together exist, and forever will recreate each other.

 * We can envisage a world whose constantly increasing 'leisure' and heightened interest would find their vital issue in fathoming everything, trying everything, extending everything ; …a world in which, as happens already, one gives one's life to be and to know, rather than to possess. That, on an estimate of the forces engaged, is what is being relentlessly prepared for us.

 * What we are aware of is only the nucleus which is ourselves. The interaction of souls would be incomprehensible if some Aura did not extend from one to the other, something proper to each one and common to all.

Protected from anon edits for a month 2015·03·13
I have protected this article from anonymous edits for a month, because valid sourced quotes were being removed without clear reason. One valid removal which actually did present a reason in an edit summary is this:

 * Our century is probably more religious than any other. How could it fail to be, with such problems to be solved? The only trouble is that it has not yet found a God it can adore.

I have only found this as being cited to The Phenomenon of Man in A Belief System from Beyond the Box (2009) by Edgar K. DeJean, p. 111, and find no indication that this is a genuine quote. IF this was a widespread misquotation I would probably have put it in a a "Disputed" section, but with only 29 - 50 or so occurrences found on the web at this point, I don’t believe it merits that much note, but am posting it here, so that anyone who seeks clarifications of the issue might come across these remarks. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 17:27, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Messiness of the "Disputed" section
Is the disputed section supposed to look so jarring and messy? I understand it's important for the reader to understand the high probability that the selected phrase is inauthentic and has been misattributed, but as is it reads like a brash highlight and an indignant scribble in the margins of what was otherwise a well-polished article.

Is it alright to go ahead and clean that up?

Talk:Three Days of the Condor

"I won't scream"
Are you sure it's "I won't scream"? I always hear it "I want to scream". -- 142.68.242.196 12:42, 25 Mar 2005

 * I wrote these quotes while playing the DVD, going over and over scenes to ensure I had exactly every syllable, so there's no way I could be wrong… well, probably none… Okay, I went back and checked again. ☺ Seriously, I can see how one might think she says "want to" — Tina Chen's lip does seem to move for one extra syllable. But she's clearly making a "oh" sound, not an "ah", and she doesn't seem to have an accent that would cause her to pronounce "wahnt" as "wohnt". It's also a more poignant word choice in an otherwise well-written screenplay, so I'm still pretty sure it's "won't". — Jeff Q (talk) 20:38, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * I want to scream makes more sense to me but if she said I won't scream then I'm not sure what that means. --Gbleem 06:10, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

I did a google and found a PDF of the script. The word is "won't". --Gbleem 06:29, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

 * It's definitely "I won't scream." This is further confirmed by Joubert's response, which is "I know you won't." I believe she is just accepting of her fate and is putting on a brave face. UDScott 12:05, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Laika

Laika, one of the Russian space dogs, was the first living passenger in orbit when she flew on Sputnik 2 (3 November 1957). No provisions were made for her return, and she died in orbit within hours from stress and overheating.

Quotes

 * Work with animals is a source of suffering to all of us. We treat them like babies who cannot speak. The more time passes, the more I’m sorry about it. We shouldn’t have done it. We did not learn enough from the mission to justify the death of the dog.
 * Oleg Gazenko, one of the scientists who trained Laika (speaking in 1998).

 * Prayers were said for the dog and people were asked to observe a minute's silence each day with special thoughts for her early and safe return to Earth.
 * Daily Herald newspaper (November 1957)

 * That does not raise my apprehension, not one iota.
 * President Eisenhower's comments on the military significance of the Soviet Space Agency sending a living passenger into orbit. (3 November 1957)

Sarah Vowell

Sarah Jane Vowell (born December 27, 1969) is an author, journalist, former rock critic and a contributing editor on the PRI program This American Life. She is also a voice-over actor, appearing as the voice of Violet Parr in The Incredibles.

Quotes

 * I talk about going to his Inauguration and smiling when he took the oath, 'cause I was so afraid he was going to "wreck the economy and muck up the drinking water"… the failure of my pessimistic imagination at that moment boggles my mind now.
 * Referring to George W. Bush on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (21 February 2006)

Take the Cannoli (2000)

 * Take the Cannoli : Stories from the New World Simon & Schuster, 2000, ISBN 0-684-86797-4

 * ...the huge Jackson Pollock canvas that is the U.S.A.: vast, murky, splotched and slapped together by a drunk.

 * Frank Sinatra is the first punk... punk comes out of nowhere... punk is... a rumor that spreads... that guts and perseverence mean more than anything else...

 * ...Clemenza's overriding responsibility is to his family. He takes a moment out of his routine madness to remember that he had promised his wife that he would bring dessert home. His instruction to his partner in crime is an entire moral manifesto in six little words: 'Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.'
 * On the Godfather and family

The Partly Cloudy Patriot (2003)

 * Being a nerd, which is to say going too far and caring too much about a subject, is the best way to make friends I know.

 * Just the other day, I was in my neighborhood Starbucks, waiting for the post office to open. I was enjoying a chocolatey cafe mocha when it occurred to me that to drink a mocha is to gulp down the entire history of the New World. From the Spanish exportation of Aztec cacao, and the Dutch invention of the chemical process for making cocoa, on down to the capitalist empire of Hershey, PA, and the lifestyle marketing of Seattle's Starbucks, the modern mocha is a bittersweet concoction of imperialism, genocide, invention, and consumerism served with whipped cream on top. No wonder it costs so much.

 * Buffy's high school was built on top of a vortex of evil, the Hellmouth. And whose wasn't?

 * In these fast and fickle times, it’s nice to know that there are some things you can always count on: the enduring brilliance of the last page of The Great Gatsby; the near-religious harmonies of the Beach Boys’ “California Girls”; and the lifelong friendship of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.

 * The true American patriot is by definition skeptical of the government.

Assassination Vacation (2005)

 * Simon & Schuster, 2005, ISBN 0-7432-6003-1

 * I understand why other people would want to stay in B&Bs. They're pretty. They're personal. They're “quaint,” a polite way of saying “no TV.” They are “romantic,” i.e., every object large enough for a flower to be printed on it is going to have a flower printed on it. They're “cozy,” meaning that a guest has to keep her belongings on the floor because every conceivable flat surface is covered in knickknacks, except for the one knickknack she longs for, a remote control.
 * p. 2

 * Going to Ford's Theatre to watch the play is like going to Hooters for the food.
 * p. 21

 * Nowadays, ever since the attack on the Pentagon in 2001, the capital has been clamped down. How is this manifested? Giant planters blocking government buildings, giant planters barricading every other street. Theoretically, the concrete flowerpots are solid enough to fend off a truck bomb. And yet the effect is ridiculous, as if we believe we can protect ourselves from suicide bombers by hiding behind blooming pots of marigolds, flowers whose main defensive property is repelling rabbits.
 * pp. 23-24

 * I haven't decided if he deserved to eat bread made out of sticks or live in a rancid puddle, probably because I haven't made up my mind whether anyone deserves such treatment, though I suspect that the day a person gives up on the Geneva Conventions is the day a person gives up on the human race.
 * p. 81 On Samuel Mudd

 * I fear that the consumer who buys a Confederate flag coffee cup, which she will then put on her American flag place mat, is the sort of sophisticated thinker who is open-minded enough that she is capable of hating blacks and Arabs at the same time.
 * p. 88

 * You know you've reached a new plateau of group mediocrity when even a Canadian is alarmed by your lack of individuality.
 * p. 144

 * Except for the people who were there that one day they discovered the polio vaccine, being part of history is rarely a good idea. History is one war after another with a bunch of murders and natural disasters in between.
 * p. 208

The Wordy Shipmates (2008)

 * The Wordy Shipmates Riverhead Books, 2008, ASIN B002A7M7LQ

 * [Martin Luther King, Jr.] concluded the learned discourse that came to be known as the 'loving your enemies' sermon this way: "So this morning, as I look into your eyes and into the eyes of all my brothers in Alabama and all over America and over the world, I say to you,'I love you. I would rather die than hate you.'" Go ahead and reread that. That is hands down the most beautiful, strange, impossible, but most of all radical thing a human being can say. And it comes from reading the most beautiful, strange, impossible, but most of all radical civics lesson ever taught, when Jesus of Nazareth went to a hill in Galilee and told his disciples, "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you."
