The Seventh Seal

The Seventh Seal (original Swedish title: Det sjunde inseglet) (1957), a film written and directed by Ingmar Bergman, follows a medieval knight and his squire as they return home from the Crusades. As the knight finds himself playing chess against a personified Death to delay his demise, the travellers discover their homeland devastated by the plague and the people turning on each other, their despair echoed in the men's own questions about faith. But some people still manage to hold on to both hope and faith.

Dialogue

 * Presented in sequential order
 * Narrator: And when the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour... And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
 * The Bible, Revelation 8:1 and 8:6
 * [cut to Crusader Antonius Block, resting near crashing waves on the beach; silence abruptly descends, and a black-robed man with an unnaturally white face appears]
 * Block: Who are you?
 * Death: I am Death.
 * Block: Have you come for me?
 * Death: I have walked at your side for a long time now.
 * Block: That I know.
 * Death: Are you prepared?
 * Block: My body is afraid, but I am not.
 * [Death approaches Block]
 * Block: Wait a moment.
 * Death: You all say that. But I give no respite.
 * Block: You play chess, do you not?
 * Death: How do you know that?
 * Block: I've seen it in paintings, heard it in the songs.
 * Death: I really am a rather skilful chess player.
 * Block: Even so, you can't be more skilful than me.
 * Death: Why do you want to play chess with me?
 * Block: That is my business.
 * Death: You are right about that.
 * Block: My condition is that I may live as long as I resist you. If I checkmate you, you set me free.
 * [to decide who begins, Block hides a white and black piece in each hand, Death chooses the hand that has the black piece]
 * Block: Black for you!
 * Death: It becomes me well.

 * [Block's squire, Jöns, returns from asking directions of a man who turns out to be long dead]
 * Block: Did he show you the way?
 * Jöns: Not exactly.
 * Block: What did he say?
 * Jöns: Nothing really.
 * Block: Was he mute?
 * Jöns: No, milord. He was most eloquent.
 * Block: Indeed.
 * Jöns: Yes, eloquent. But the speech he held was gloomy. One has to say that.

 * [a troupe of actors prepares for a village performance]
 * Jof: Going to play Death?
 * Jonas Skat: Scaring decent folk out of their wits. … They say the plague stalks the land. The priests speculate in sudden death and moral bellyache.

 * [Jöns encounters a man painting a church mural about mass death]
 * Jöns: Why all this daubing?
 * Painter: To remind people of death.
 * Jöns: That won't make them any happier.
 * Painter: Why make them happy? Why not scare them?
 * Jöns: Then they won't look at your picture.
 * Painter: Yes, they will. A skull is more interesting than a naked woman.
 * Jöns: If you scare them—
 * Painter: They think—
 * Jöns: Then they think.
 * Painter: And are still more scared.
 * Jöns: And fall into the arms of the priests.
 * [Jöns points to a part of the mural with a line of suffering people]
 * Jöns: What's that rubbish there?
 * Painter: People think the plague is a punishment from God. Crowds wander the land lashing each other to please the Lord.
 * Jöns: Lashing each other?
 * Painter: Yes, it's a horrible sight. You feel like hiding when they pass.
 * Jöns: Give me a gin. I've had nothing but water. I feel as thirsty as a desert camel.
 * Painter: Scared after all?
 * Painter: Scared after all?

 * [Block goes to confess at a confessional alcove in a church]
 * Block: I want to confess as best I can, but my heart is empty, and the emptiness a mirror facing me. I see myself and am filled with loathing and horror. My indifference to men has shut me out from their company. I live now in a world of ghosts, a prisoner of my dreams and fantasies.
 * Priest: Yet you do not want to die.
 * Block: Yes, I do.
 * [as Block looks away, we see now that the "priest" is actually Death]
 * Priest/Death: What are you waiting for?
 * Block: I want knowledge.
 * Priest/Death: You want guarantees.
 * Block: Call it what you will.
 * [Block kneels as if praying to the figure of Jesus]
 * Block: Is it so awfully unthinkable to conceive of God with one's senses? Why should He conceal Himself in a fog of half-spoken promises and unseen miracles? How are we to believe the believers when we don't believe ourselves? What will become of us who want to believe but cannot? And what of those who neither will nor can believe? Why can I not kill God within me? Why does He go on living within me in a painful, humiliating way, though I curse Him and want to tear Him out of my heart? Why does He remain a treacherous reality of which I cannot rid myself? Do you hear me?
 * Priest/Death: I hear you.
 * [Block turns to kneel before the priest behind the confessional screen]
 * Block: I want knowledge. Not belief. Not supposition. But knowledge. I want God to reach out to me, unveil His face, speak to me.
 * Priest/Death: But He is silent.
 * Block: I cry to Him in the darkness, but sometimes it is as if there is no one there.
 * Priest/Death: Perhaps there is no one there.
 * Block: Then life is a senseless horror. No man can live with Death before his eyes and the knowledge that all is nothing.
 * Priest/Death: Most people reflect neither upon Death nor nothingness.
 * Block: Yet they must one day stand at the last shore of life and look into the Darkness.
 * Priest/Death: Yes, that day.
 * Block: [laughs bitterly] I see what you mean. We must make an idol of our fear, and that idol we shall call God.
 * Priest/Death: You are uneasy.
 * Block: Death visited me this morning. We are playing chess. This respite enables me to perform a vital errand.
 * Priest/Death: What errand?
 * Block: My whole life has been coming and going and talking without point or consequence. It has been nothing. I say it without bitterness or self-reproach, for I know that almost all men's lives are made up just like that. But I want to use my respite for one meaningful deed.
 * Priest/Death: Ah. So this is why you play chess with Death.
 * Block: He is a dangerous and skillful tactician, [smiling] but I have not yet lost one piece.
 * Priest/Death: How will you outwit Death?
 * Block: [smiling] I am playing a a combination of bishop and knight that he has not yet detected. On my next move, I'll shatter his flank.
 * [the "priest" turns to face Block through the screen]
 * Death: I shall remember that.
 * [Block stands up, startled]
 * Block: You are a traitor and you have tricked me! But we shall meet again, and I'll find a way out.
 * Death: We shall meet at the inn and continue our game.

 * [Jöns is chatting with the mural painter while they drink]

 * Jöns: For ten years we sat in the Holy Land, bitten by snakes, mosquitoes, and wild beasts, slaughtered by the heathens, poisoned by the wine, given crabs by the women, bled by the crabs, rotted by fevers, all for the glory of God!
 * [They both cross themselves]
 * Jöns and the Painter: For the glory of God!
 * Jöns: I tell you, our crusade was so stupid that only a true idealist could have thought it up.

 * [Block is talking with Mia, the troupe's actress, as she plays with her infant son Mikael]
 * Block: Is Mikael going to be an acrobat?
 * Mia: Jof wants him to be.
 * Block: But not you?
 * Mia: No. [smiling] Perhaps he will be a knight!
 * Block: That's not such fun, either.
 * Mia: No, you don't look happy.
 * Block: No.
 * Mia: Are you tired?
 * Block: Yes.
 * Mia: Why?
 * Block: I'm in boring company.
 * Mia: You mean your squire?
 * Block: No, not him.
 * Mia: Who, then?
 * Block: Myself.

 * [Block and Jöns are treated to a meal by Jof and Mia]
 * Jof: I've written a song about the spring! Would you like to hear it?
 * [Jof gets up to fetch his instrument, but Mia stops him]
 * Mia: Our guest may not care for your songs.
 * Jöns: Oh, yes. I write songs myself.
 * Jof: You see!
 * Jöns: There's one about an enormous fish which you haven't heard.
 * [Block clears his throat]
 * Jöns: And you're not going to hear it, either.
 * [as Block broods, Mia offers him a bowl of wild strawberries]
 * Block: We worry about so much.
 * Mia: It's better to be two.
 * Block: To believe is to suffer. It is like loving someone in the dark who never answers.
 * Block: I shall remember this hour of peace: the strawberries, the bowl of milk, your faces in the dusk. Mikael asleep, Jof with his lute. I shall remember our words, and shall bear this memory between my hands as carefully as a bowl of fresh milk.
 * [he drinks from the bowl]
 * Block: And this will be a sign, and a great content.
 * Block: I shall remember this hour of peace: the strawberries, the bowl of milk, your faces in the dusk. Mikael asleep, Jof with his lute. I shall remember our words, and shall bear this memory between my hands as carefully as a bowl of fresh milk.
 * [he drinks from the bowl]
 * Block: And this will be a sign, and a great content.

 * [Jöns is commiserating with disconsolate blacksmith Plog]
 * Jöns: Love is the blackest of all plagues, but you don't even die of it, and usually it passes.
 * Jöns: If everything is imperfect in this world, love is perfect in its imperfection.
 * Plog: You're lucky. You believe in your own twaddle.
 * Jöns: Who says I believe it? But I like giving advice.
 * Jöns: Who says I believe it? But I like giving advice.

 * [Errant troupe member Jonas Skat, after escaping his amour Lisa and her angry husband Plog, hides in a tree; Death appears and begins to saw the tree]
 * Skat: Hey, you scurvy knave, what are you up to?
 * [Death continues to saw without responding]
 * Skat: You might at least answer. Who are you?
 * Death: I'm felling your tree. Your time is up.
 * Skat: You can't. I haven't time.
 * Death: Huh. You haven't time?
 * Skat: No. I have my performance!
 * Death: Cancelled, owing to Death.
 * Skat: My contract?
 * Death: Annulled.
 * Skat: My family…
 * Death: For shame, Skat!
 * Skat: Yes, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. [pauses] Is there no exemption for actors?
 * Death: Not in your case.
 * Skat: No loopholes?

 * [as soldiers prepare a scaffold for an accused witch, Block talks with the pale, thin girl]
 * Block: They say you've had commerce with the devil.
 * Witch: Why do you ask?
 * Block: Not out of curiosity, but for very personal reasons. I, too, want to meet him.
 * Witch: Why?
 * Block: I want to ask him about God. He must know, he if anyone.
 * Witch: You can see him any time you want.
 * Block: How?
 * Witch: You must do as I say. Look into my eyes.
 * [Block does so]
 * Witch: Well, what do you see? Do you see him?
 * Block: I see a stiff terror in your eyes. Nothing else.
 * Witch: No one? Nothing? No one?
 * Block: No.
 * Witch: Is he not standing behind your back either?
 * [Block quickly turns, but sees nothing]
 * Block: No. There is nothing there.
 * Witch: But he is with me everywhere. If I stretch out my hand, I feel him. He is with me even now. The fire won't hurt me.
 * Block: Has he said so?
 * Witch: I know it.
 * Block: Has he said so?!
 * Witch: I know it! I know it! You must see him somewhere, you must! The priests had no difficulty seeing him, nor the soldiers either. They are so afraid of him that they dare not even touch me.
 * [Block advances on the soldiers working on the scaffold]
 * Block: Why have you broken her hands?
 * Soldier: It is not us.
 * Block: Who?
 * Soldier: Ask the monk there.
 * [Block turns to address the monk]
 * Block: What have you done to the girl?
 * [the monk turns to reveal himself as Death, once again]
 * Death: Will you never stop asking questions?
 * Block: No. I will never stop.
 * Death: But you get no answer.

 * [the soldiers move the scaffolding into place near the fire]
 * Jöns: Who will look after that child? The angels? God? Satan? Emptiness? No, emptiness, milord!
 * Block: It cannot be!
 * Jöns: Look at her eyes. Her poor mind is making a discovery. Emptiness!
 * Block: No!
 * Jöns: We are helpless. We see what she sees, and her terror is ours.

 * [Block is distracted from the chessboard by Jof and Mia's sudden departure]
 * Death: Have you lost interest?
 * Block: Lost interest? On the contrary!
 * Death: You look worried. Are you hiding something?
 * Block: Nothing escapes you!
 * Death: Nothing escapes me. No one escapes me.

 * Death: When next we meet, the hour will strike for you and your friends.
 * Block: And you will reveal your secrets?
 * Death: I have no secrets.
 * Block: So you know nothing?
 * Death: I am unknowing.

 * [Death has arrived at the knight's castle]
 * Block: Out of the darkness we call to thee, O Lord! Oh, God, have mercy on us! For we are small and afraid and without knowledge!
 * Jöns: In the darkness where you claim to be, where we all probably are, in that darkness you shall find no one to listen to your laments or to be moved by your suffering. Wipe your tears and regard yourself reflected in your own insignificance.
 * Block: God, you who are somewhere, who must be somewhere, have mercy on us!
 * Jöns: I could have given you a herb to purge your worries about eternity, but it seems to be too late. But in any case, feel, to the last instant, the immense triumph in rolling your eyes and wriggling your toes!
 * Karin: Quiet! Quiet!
 * Jöns: I will be quiet, but under protest.
 * [Jöns's housekeeping girl approaches Death, kneels, and smiles up at him]
 * Girl: It is finished.

 * [as a new day dawns for Jof, Mia, and Mikael, Jof sees a line of people dancing on the horizon]
 * Jof: Mia! I see them, Mia! I see them! Over there against the stormy sky. They are all there. The smith and Lisa, the knight, Raval, Jöns, and Skat. And the strict master Death bids them dance. He wants them to hold hands and to tread the dance in a long line. At the head goes the strict master with the scythe and hourglass. But the Fool brings up the rear with his lute. They move away from the dawn in a solemn dance away towards the dark lands while the rain cleanses their cheeks of the salt from their bitter tears.
 * Mia: You with your visions!

Quotes about The Seventh Seal
Bergman is prolific, and the films that followed these early works were rich and varied, as his obsession moved from God's silence to the tortured relations between anguished souls trying to make sense of their feelings.
 * The Seventh Seal was always my favourite film, and I remember seeing it with a small audience at the old New Yorker Theatre. Who would have thought that the subject matter could yield such a pleasurable experience? If I described the story and tried to persuade a friend to watch it with me, how far would I get? 'Well,' I'd say, 'it takes place in a plague-ridden medieval Sweden and explores the limits of faith and reason based on Danish — and some German — philosophical concepts.' Now this is hardly anyone' idea of a good time, and yet it's all dealt off with such stupendous imagination, suspense, and flair that one sits riveted like a child at a harrowing fairy tale. Suddenly the black figure of Death appears on the seashore to claim his victim, and the Knight of Reason challenges him to a chess game, trying to stall for time and discover some meaning to life. The tale engages and stalks forward with sinister inevitability. Again, the images are breathtaking! The flagellants, the burning of the witch (worthy of Carl Dreyer), and the finale, as Death dances off with all the doomed people to the nether lands in one of the most memorable shots in all movies.
 * Woody Allen in "Through a Life Darkly" a review of The Magic Lantern : An Autobiography as translated by Joan Tate (1988) in The New York Times (18 September 1988).

Jacques-Yves Cousteau

Jacques-Yves Cousteau, AC (11 June 1910 – 25 June 1997), commonly known in English as Jacques Cousteau, was a French naval officer, explorer, conservationist, filmmaker, innovator, scientist, photographer, author and researcher who studied the sea and all forms of life in water. He co-developed the Aqua-Lung, pioneered marine conservation and was a member of the Académie française.

Quotes

 * From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free.
 * Time (28 March 1960)

 * Buoyed by water, he can fly in any direction — up, down, sideways — by merely flipping his hand. Under water, man becomes an archangel.
 * Time (28 March 1960)

 * The sea is the universal sewer.
 * Declaring the sea to be "where all kinds of pollution wind up", to the US House Committee on Science and Astronautics (28 January 1971)

 * We must plant the sea and herd its animals … using the sea as farmers instead of hunters. That is what civilization is all about — farming replacing hunting.
 * Interview (17 July 1971); Cited in: Elizabeth Brubaker et al. (2008) Breath of Fresh Air, p. 180

 * Farming as we do it is hunting, and in the sea we act like barbarians.
 * Interview (17 July 1971): Cited in: Jane Goodall et al. (2005) Harvest for Hope: A Guide to Mindful Eating.

 * If we go on the way we have, the fault is our greed — if we are not willing — we will disappear from the face of the globe, to be replaced by the insect.
 * Interview (17 July 1971)}

 * What is a scientist after all? It is a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what’s going on.
 * Christian Science Monitor (21 July 1971)

 * Man, of all the animals, is probably the only one to regard himself as a great delicacy.
 * Octopus and Squid: The Soft Intelligence (1973)

 * I am not a scientist. I am, rather, an impresario of scientists.
 * Christian Science Monitor (24 July 1986)

 * The glory of nature provides evidence that God exists
 * as quoted in The Human, the Orchid, and the Octopus: Exploring and Conserving Our Natural World (2010), Ch. 5. Bloomsbury Publishing.

 * I said that the oceans were sick but they're not going to die. There is no death possible in the oceans — there will always be life — but they're getting sicker every year.
 * Interview (March 1996)}

 * In the last few decades, a terribly pernicious rumor has been circulated by the press. It claims, exhibiting a level of stupidity heretofore considered impossible, that a human being could crawl through the arteries of a blue whale. Of course, nothing could be farther from the truth. I do not know why this deleterious rumor has been systematically repeated, but its very existence is an ugly cancer upon the face of science.
 * Octopus and Squid: The Soft Intelligence (1973)

 * We have to prepare for what life could become in 40 years. We need to outline what is possible and what is impossible with the non-renewable resources of the Earth. What role will technological improvement play? Taking all this into account, what kind of life can we produce in the best way for 10 billion people? That's a problem that needs to be solved.
 * Interview (March 1996)}

 * Sometimes we are lucky enough to know that our lives have been changed, to discard the old, embrace the new, and turn headlong down an immutable course.
 * The Silent World by Capt. Jacques-Yves Cousteau with Frederic Dumas 2004 National Geographic Society, pg. 5

Quotes about Cousteau

 * Sylvia Earle's generation — they were explorers...They’re like, what is even down there? How do we understand this? And then: Oh [bleep], this is in trouble. And they all became conservationists, right? We saw that same professional transformation with Jacques Cousteau.
 * Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, Interview with On Being (2022)

 * Sylvia Earle, though a great scientist, is also the heir to Jacques Cousteau, inducting the landbound among us into the mysteries of the sea, helping us to feel both astonished and at ease.
 * Bill McKibben The World Is Blue: How Our Fate and the Ocean's Are One (2009)

Courteney Cox

Courteney Bass Cox (born June 15, 1964) is an American actress, producer and director. She is best identified for her roles as Monica Geller on the NBC sitcom Friends, Gale Weathers in the horror series Scream, and as Jules Cobb in the ABC/TBS sitcom Cougar Town, for which she earned her first Golden Globe nomination.

Quotes

 * It's not like I let people do things for me, so I guess you can call me a control freak, or you can call me passionate... I'm not a passive person by any stretch of the imagination.
 * As quoted in "A revealing sit-down with Courteney Cox" in USA Today (10 September 2003)

Penélope Cruz

Penélope Cruz Sánchez (born April 28, 1974), nicknamed simply Pe, is a Spanish actress named after a song by Joan Manuel Serrat.

Cinema.com interview (2001)

 * "Captain Corelli's Mandolin : Interview With Penélope Cruz" at Cinema.com

 * I like roles that people don't recognize me in. … People are always telling me I'm sexy, but I don't think those things about myself. I know I've been coquettish since I was three years old. I like clothes and I like seduction in general, but I am like that with everybody; children, dogs, men and women. I admit I want people to like me — who doesn't ? But not for just the outside.

 * The most important lesson I've learned in this business is how to say no. I have said no to a lot of temptations, and I am glad I did.

 * The good thing is that I have always had wonderful people around me. It's dangerous when you start earning a lot of money and you become famous when you are too young.

 * I think magic is very related to happiness. So it is not there all the time, but there are beautiful moments of magic in everyone's life.

Category:Notable eccentrics

Eccentricity (also called quirkiness) is unusual or odd behavior on the part of an individual. This behavior would typically be perceived as unusual or unnecessary, without being demonstrably maladaptive. Eccentricity is contrasted with normal behaviour, the nearly universal means by which individuals in society solve given problems and pursue certain priorities in everyday life. People who consistently display benignly eccentric behavior are labeled as "eccentrics".

By the way the section in the link can't work in redirect, for your information. --Aphaia 14:27, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Rbarreira. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Rbarreira~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:33, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

The Lion King 1½

The Lion King 1½ is a 2004 direct-to-video animated film released by Buena Vista Home Entertainment on February 10, 2004. This middle-of-the-road feature retells the story of the 1994 blockbuster, The Lion King, in Timon and Pumbaa's perspective.

Timon

 * This could be the start of a beautiful... acquaintanceship.
 * Friends stick together to the end.
 * Just eat me now and please make it fast, I have a low threshold for pain.
 * [whispering] I see carnivores.

Dialogue

 * [from trailer]
 * Timon: That's it Pumbaa, my fuse, it's genius! There! Now this titles are knock out. OW!! Not reality!?

 * Timon: 1! 2! 3!

 * Pumbaa: Uh-oh. I don't do some well a crowds, maybe better go around.
 * Timon: Don't you know, sure isn't to be right home to straight line, follow me. Dang grow. Dang grow! I'm watchin' twinkle. I'm walking here.

 * Pumbaa: This bowlin' from porcupines. [spits the quills] Wasn't for best idea, huh?
 * Timon: Yeah, well think about the snappy turtles. Ow-ah-ahaha!
 * Pumbaa: That was traitor to mark.

 * Timon: [about Simba] HE'S GONE?! WHADDAYA MEAN HE'S GONE?!
 * Nala: It's just like the baboon said. The king has returned. [Timon and Pumbaa stare at her blankly] [sighs] You guys want me to go over it again?
 * Timon: Yes please, but be a dear and skip to the part about Simba. Not that your childhood wasn't fascinatin'!
 * Nala: Okay. Look, Simba's the rightful king, but after he disappeared, Scar proclaimed himself the king and formed an alliance with the hyenas...
 * [As Nala talks, Timon and Pumbaa stop listening.]
 * Pumbaa: [thinks] Poor Simba. The treachery! The villainy! The sheer indescribable horror!
 * Timon: [thinks] Blah blah blah. Why is she TOYING with us? This crazy chick is gonna eat us!
 * Nala: ...So Simba has to go home to challenge his uncle and reclaim his place as king! [Timon and Pumbaa stare blankly at her.] OHH, DON'T YOU GET IT?! SIMBA NEEDS US! NOW!
 * Timon: [indignant] He needs us? THEN HE SHOULDN'T HAVE LEFT US! If he wants to run off to be "His Highness", well, I say, don't let the branches hit you on the way out! Leave Hakuna Matata to someone who appreciates it. [He strides off stubbornly]
 * Pumbaa: But, Timon... it's not really Hakuna Matata without Simba.
 * Timon: What's gotten into you? Not Hakuna Matata? That's crazy talk. CRAZY TALK, I tell ya! Nothing's changed here. We had Hakuna Matata before Simba, and we've still got it now.
 * Pumbaa: We gotta go help our friend, Timon.
 * Timon: Et tu, Pumbaa? You're just gonna walk away, give up on all this? What happened to "friends stick together to the end"? Huh? Huh? Huh?
 * Pumbaa: [incisively] I was about to ask you the same thing.
 * [Pumbaa turns and stalks off. He looks back over his shoulder to see Timon flopping down in the bed.]
 * Timon: [stubbornly] I got everything I ever wanted right here.
 * [Pumbaa turns and trots off, a tear in his eye. Timon lies in the bed, tapping his toe. He begins to soliloquize to convince himself he's doing the right thing.]
 * Timon: Now, this is more like it. ELBOW ROOM! ["Elbow room" echoes an absurd number of times as the camera pulls back repeatedly; Timon collapses in despair] Uhhhh. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

 * [at the end of the film]
 * Timon: Well, that's it. The big wrap-up. The happy ending. The grand finale.
 * Pumbaa: It's over already?
 * Timon: Well, Pumbaa, that's the thing about endings. They come at the end.
 * Pumbaa: Oh, can we watch it again?
 * Timon: Pumbaa, we just saw it. Maybe tomorrow.
 * Ma: [enters] Hey, what're you guys doin'? [notices the film and gasps] You didn't tell me you were watching the movie! I wanna watch, too!
 * Timon: Ma! We just finished! Show's over!
 * Ma: Well, you're just gonna hafta rewind it. [runs the film back]
 * Timon: Ma!
 * Ma: Uncle Max! We're gonna watch the movie!
 * Timon: Oh, no!
 * Max: [enters with popcorn] Hey, I brought extra butter!
 * Simba: [enters] Hey, you guys are watching the movie?
 * Rafiki: [enters with laughter] Any story worth telling is worth telling twice!
 * [many a Disney character enters the theater, starting with Mickey Mouse]
 * Timon: What the--?
 * Snow White: Oh, excuse me.
 * Dwarves: [one by one, save for Grumpy] Excuse me.
 * Grumpy: Get outta the way.
 * Timon: Who is this crowd? Hey! Down in front!
 * [Stitch bounces repeatedly from one character to another]
 * Goofy: Gawrsh!
 * Stitch: Aloha!
 * [Donald quacks angrily at Stitch. Peter Pan crows like a rooster and the Lost Boys dog pile on him]
 * Timon: Watch it!
 * [he gets stuck in between two characters, then approaches Pumbaa after he gets launched by Dumbo]
 * Timon: Okay, buddy. You win.
 * Pumbaa: Sure you don't mind?
 * Timon: Hakuna matata.
 * [he grabs the remote and starts the film]
 * Pumbaa: Timon, I still don't do so well in crowds.

I Heart Huckabees

I Heart Huckabees 2004, a comedy that explores existentialism and nihilism. It was produced and directed by David O. Russell, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jeff Baena.

Tommy Corn

 * Honestly, I have no idea what you guys are talking about. I thought we were talking about petroleum.
 * How come we only ask ourselves the really big questions when something bad happens?

 * [after being hit in the face with a rubber ball] Awesome! Can we do the ball thing everyday?

 * Aaah, here he comes! The man poet who banged France's Dark Lady of Philosophy! The parking lot crusader of truth who turned his back on his Other like a cold-blooded gangsta.

 * Why are you guys wasting all of your time fighting each other? I mean, come on, seriously.  Put the egos aside for a second, guys, please. Deal with the issues, okay.  We have a deadly petroleum situation, not to mention cystic f-- SHUT UP! SHUT! --  Cystic Fibrosis, civil war in Africa, toxic fish. You have children in your own community who are going to prison. Father Flavin doesn't have the money to help them! Ma'am, listen to me!

 * If this world is temporary, identity is an illusion, then everything is meaningless and it doesn't matter if you use petroleum, and that's got me very confused.

Albert Markovski

 * 'Betrayed' by Albert Markovski. Is it possible for anybody in this world to work together to make it better?  I don't think so.

 * Nobody sits like this rock sits. You rock, rock. The rock just sits and is. You show us how to just sit here and that's what we need.

 * [about the body bag exercise] I can't go back in there. It's all hating faces that I have to chop up with a machete!

 * We're not in Infinity, we're in the suburbs

 * Everything is the same, even if it's different.

 * Motherfucking cocksucker motherfucking shoot Mother what am I doing? What am I doing? I don't know what I'm doing. I'm doing the best that I can. I know that's all I can ask of myself. Is that good enough? Is my work doing any good? Is anybody paying attention? Is it hopeless to try and change things? The African guy is a sign, right? Because if he isn't, than nothing in this world makes any sense to me. I'm trapped! Maybe I should quit. Don't quit! Maybe I should just fucking quit. Don't fucking quit! I don't know what the fuck I'm supposed to do anymore! Mother! Fuck shoot!

 * [to Vivian Jaffe] I can't believe you guys actually exist.

 * What?! Is it a crime? Is it a crime to look at Lange?!

Brad Stand

 * Huckabees cornucopia of stuff we all want. But what happened to the gazelles? Were they squashed under the CD department?

 * How am I not myself? [repeated]

 * Do I benefit from getting some great P.R. For Huckabees when we need it? Absolutely. But do I care about saving the open spaces? Yes, I do!

 * Shania hates mayo, alright, and she can't eat chicken salad, that's no joke. We gave it to her once, she threw up in the limo - the lady hates chicken salad. So I bring out a bunch of tuna fish sandwiches - she still doesn't believe me - I say, Shania, I'm allergic to mayo - which, by the way, is a lie. Shania still doesn't believe me so I eat two of the sandwiches in front of her to prove it. So she eats one and a half sandwiches, one and a half sandwiches... before she realizes, its chicken salad. And she liked them!

 * Shania cares!

 * Why is marriage and kids so important? I mean, there's an overpopulation problem!

 * [after Caterine snaps a photo of his sobbing] NOBODY SEES THAT PICTURE!!!

 * Did you see that? Shania knew who I was.

Bernard Jaffe

 * When you get the blanket thing you can relax because everything you could ever want or be you already have and are.

 * There is no such thing as you or me,
 * There's no such thing as nothing. nnn
 * There is no remainder in the mathematics of Infinity.

 * Say this blanket represents all the matter and energy in the universe, okay? This is me, this is you, And over here, this is the Eiffel Tower, right, it's Paris!

 * No time for infinity? Gotta piece together a theory?

 * Your mind is always occupied on something...so it may as well be something helpful, like Mrs. Shermer, or the blanket.

 * The universe is an infinite sphere whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere.

Dawn Campbell

 * I'm in my tree talking to the Dixie Chicks and they're making me feel better.

 * Wake up, pretty girl, the joke is on you!

 * Fuckabees!

 * [emotionless] These are the best tops around. Last time, last year - not so good. [suddenly fervent] But now, this is the truth!

 * You can't deal with my infinite nature, can you?

 * There's glass between us

 * Do you love me? Even in my bonnet?

Others

 * Caterine Vauban: It's painful enough to feel sad, but on top of it... to feel embarrassed for feeling, that's the killer!
 * Caterine Vauban: It is inevitable to be drawn back into human drama.

 * Shania Twain: I eat Tofu Tuna, Brad!

 * Vivian Jaffe: Come, join us for mancala hour. Arriba!

 * Mrs. Silver: God, what are you, a bitch? You're a bitch! How many kids do you have, bitch?

Dialogue

 * Vivian Jaffe: Have you ever transcended space and time?
 * Albert Markovski: Yes. No.  Uh...time, not space.  No, I have no idea what you're talking about.

 * Albert Markovski: The interconnection thing is definitely for real.
 * Tommy Corn: It is! I didn't think it wasn't! It is!
 * Albert Markovski: I know, I can't believe it, it's so fantastic!
 * Tommy Corn: It's amazing!
 * Albert Markovski: I know.
 * Tommy Corn: But it's also nothing special
 * Albert Markovski: Yeah, because it grows from the manure of human troubles.

 * Mr. Hooten: What happened to the cat, Albert?
 * Albert Markovski: [alarmed] How'd you know about my cat?
 * Mr. Hooten: The cat was killed by curiosity.
 * Albert Markovski: Oh, that cat.

 * Mrs. Hooten: Albert, what brought you to the philosophical club?
 * Albert Markovski: You mean the existential detectives?
 * Mr. Hooten: Sounds like a support group.
 * Cricket: Why can't he use the church?
 * Mrs. Hooten: Sometimes people have additional questions to be answered.
 * Cricket: Like what?
 * Albert Markovski: Well, um, for instance - if the forms of this world die, which is more real: the me that dies or the me that's infinite? Can I trust my habitual mind or do I need to learn to look beneath those things?

 * Tommy Corn: What are you doing tomorrow?
 * Albert Markovski: I was thinking about chaining myself to a bulldozer. Do you want to come?
 * Tommy Corn: What time?
 * Albert Markovski: Mm... one, one-thirty.
 * Tommy Corn: Sounds good. Should I bring my own chains?
 * Albert Markovski: We always do.

 * Vivian Jaffe: Why don't you just tell me what your situation is?
 * Albert Markovski: Look, I'm not really sure I know exactly what you guys do around here, all right?
 * Vivian Jaffe: Well, we'll investigate and solve your case.
 * Albert Markovski: How?
 * Vivian Jaffe: If you sign a contract we'll follow you.
 * Albert Markovski: You'll spy?
 * Vivian Jaffe: Yes.
 * Albert Markovski: On me?
 * Vivian Jaffe: Yes.
 * Albert Markovski: Will you be spying on me in the bathroom?
 * Vivian Jaffe: Yes.
 * Albert Markovski: In the bathroom?
 * Vivian Jaffe: Yes.
 * Albert Markovski: Why?
 * Vivian Jaffe: There's nothing too small. You know when police find the slightest piece of DNA and build a case on it? If we might see you floss or masturbate that could be the key to your entire reality.

 * Mrs. Hooten: So Tommy, what do you do?
 * Tommy Corn: I'm a firefighter.
 * Mrs. Hooten: God bless you! You're a hero.
 * Tommy Corn: I'm no hero. We'd all be heroes if we stopped using petroleum!

 * Albert Markovski: No, I'm not. I'm talking about not covering every square inch of populated America with houses and strip malls until you can't even remember what happens when you stand in a meadow at dusk.
 * Bret: What happens in the meadow at dusk?
 * Albert Markovski: Everything.
 * Mrs. Hooten: Nothing.
 * Albert Markovski: Everything.
 * Mrs. Hooten: Nothing.
 * Albert Markovski: It's beautiful.
 * Tommy Corn: It's beautiful.

 * Tommy Corn: [after being hit in the face with a rubber ball] Awesome! Can we do the ball thing everyday?
 * Caterine Vauban: Don't call it the ball thing. Call it pure being.
 * Tommy Corn: Okay... so can we do the pure being ball thing everyday?

 * Cricket: Jesus is never mad at us if we live with Him in our hearts!
 * Tommy Corn: I hate to break it to you, but He is - He most definitely is.

 * Dawn Campbell: Brad, do you love me?
 * Brad Stand: I think so.
 * Dawn Campbell: With the bonnet?
 * Brad Stand: Um...

 * Mr. Hooten: God gave us oil! He gave it to us! How can God's gift be bad?
 * Tommy Corn: I don't know. He gave you a brain too and you messed that up pretty damn good.
 * Mr. Hooten: I want you sons of bitches out of my house now!
 * Tommy Corn: If Hitler were alive, he'd tell you not to think about oil.
 * Mrs. Hooten: You're the Hitler! We took a Sudanese refugee into our home!
 * Tommy Corn: You did. But how did Sudan happen, ma'am? Could it possibly be related to dictatorships that we support for some stupid reason?
 * Mr. Hooten: You shut up! You get out!
 * Tommy Corn: You shut up.
 * Tommy Corn:[to Albert] Come on. Let's get out of here.

 * Vivian Jaffe: You live all the time with things you can't see. You can't see electricity, can you? You can't see radio waves, but you accept them.
 * Bernard Jaffe: Trust.
 * Albert Markovski: just trust!
 * Bernard Jaffe: You better stay away from Caterine, Albert, 'cause she's gonna lead you down the path of darkness.
 * Vivian Jaffe: She was our prize graduate student until she went astray.
 * Albert Markovski: No, I think that I am going to stay with her, and the cracks and the pain and the nothingness, because THAT's more real to me, THAT's what I feel.
 * Tommy Corn: Word.
 * Bernard Jaffe: Okay, we're not sweatin' it.
 * Vivian Jaffe: No, we're gonna work with Brad.
 * Bernard Jaffe: It'll all come back to you and interconnection.
 * Albert Markovski: Brad? Are you kidding me? I'm gonna work on that prick and it's all gonna come to pain and no connection!
 * Bernard Jaffe: No.
 * Tommy Corn: It's on.

 * Dawn Campbell: There's glass between us. You can't deal with my infinite nature, can you?
 * Brad Stand: That is so not true. Wait, what does that even mean?

 * Dawn Campbell: Oh please, I don't think of myself as being that pretty. [Brad whispers in her ear] Yes, that changed at Huckabees. You know, I was never the pretty girl.
 * Bernard Jaffe: Really?
 * Dawn Campbell: No! I just have to keep up with this gorgeous hottie.
 * Vivian Jaffe: How's the sex?
 * Bernard Jaffe: How is the sex?
 * Dawn Campbell: The sex?
 * Brad Stand: Come on, guys. [laughs] Come on. That's private.
 * Dawn Campbell: That's gross.
 * Vivian Jaffe: Our undercover surveillance shows it's been infrequent and short. Eight to nine minutes. Typically.
 * Dawn Campbell: Surveillance? You've watched us?
 * Vivian Jaffe: No, just listened.
 * Brad Stand:[laughs uncomfortably] So your surveillance is wrong!
 * Dawn Campbell: Yeah. It's quantity not quality.
 * Brad Stand: She meant quality not quantity.
 * Dawn Campbell: I know, I was only joking.
 * Bernard Jaffe: Were you joking when you said quantity and not quality?
 * Dawn Campbell: We're private about our seven minutes of heaven!
 * Brad Stand: It's longer than that, darling.
 * Dawn Campbell: [laughs hysterically] Eight minutes of heaven! It's quantity not quality!
 * Brad Stand: You should see her after a couple of margaritas.

 * Bernard Jaffe: [points to zipper bag] All right, get in.
 * Albert Markovski: You want me to get in?
 * Bernard Jaffe: Mm-hm.
 * Albert Markovski: So get in here?
 * Bernard Jaffe: Yeah.
 * Albert Markovski: What's gonna happen to me in there?
 * Bernard Jaffe: You're gonna see.

 * Tommy Corn: Ah, here he comes!
 * Albert Markovski: Oh, boy.
 * Tommy Corn: The man-poet who banged France's dark lady of philosophy. The parking lot crusader of truth... who turned his back on his Other like a cold-blooded gangsta.

 * Albert Markovski: What, is it a crime? Is it a crime to look at Lange?
 * Vivian Jaffe: Albert, have you ever been in love?
 * Albert Markovski: What kind of question is that?

 * Mr. Hooten: Stevo, I'm so disappointed in you.
 * Mrs. Hooten: It's all right. Look, he's sad. He's sad.
 * Mr. Hooten: I'm sorry, Stevo. My bad. You didn't know.
 * Tommy Corn: You should be ashamed of yourself.
 * Mr. Hooten: I should be what?
 * Tommy Corn: You should be ashamed of yourself.
 * Mr. Hooten: And why's that? Why would I be ashamed of myself?
 * Tommy Corn: You're a hypocrite.
 * Mr. Hooten: I'm a what?
 * Tommy Corn: You're misleading these children. 'Cause you're the destroyer, man.
 * Mr. Hooten: How am I the destroyer?
 * Tommy Corn: I saw that S.U.V. out there.
 * Mr. Hooten: My car's the destroyer? You wanna know how many miles per gallon I get?

 * Tommy Corn:[running away from Vivian and Bernard] I want my money back!
 * Albert Markovski: Yeah, and if I weren't pro Bono, I'd want MY money back!

Quantum Leap

Repeated quotes

 * Theorizing that one could time-travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator...and vanished. He awoke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own, and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And so Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap...will be the leap home!
 * Opening narration.
 * Theorizing that one could time-travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett led an elite group of scientists in the desert, to develop a top secret project known as 'Quantum Leap'. Pressured to prove his theories or lose funding, Dr. Beckett prematurely stepped into the project accelerator...and vanished. He awoke to find himself in the past, suffering from partial amnesia, and facing a mirror image that was not his own. Fortunately, contact with his own time was maintained through brainwave transmissions with Al, the project observer, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Dr. Beckett can see or hear. Trapped in the past, Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, putting things right that once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap...will be the leap home!

Justice [4.04]
[around 39:42] according to the dvd of this episode [dramatic music] Sam: "I agree with the grand dragon. I agree with the grand dragon 100%. We should hang this man and while we're at it hang me too. Al: Sam have you gone crazy Sam: Cause I don't want to live in a world where fear and hate live behind a call for justice. Where men women and children born as free as you and me are denied among other things the right to vote. And if they try to do anything about it. you hang 'em or blow them up in a church. They are so proud of what they are doing. These dispensers of justice that they have to hide behind masks to do it. Cody you look at me, son. This is not justice. This is merely a desperate attempt to hang on to the past, a shameful past. That can never and should never be restored. So go ahead, you hang us now but you cannot stop the future because you can not kill everyone who is here tonight. And they can never forget what they saw. Grand Dragon: Take them down and nathaniel too. [dramatic music curtails]

Opening narrations

 * It all started when a time-travel experiment I was conducting went...a little ca-ca. In the blink of a cosmic clock, I went from quantum physicist...to Air Force test pilot, which could have been fun — if I knew how to fly. Fortunately, I had help: An observer from the project, named Al. Unfortunately, Al's a hologram. So, all he can lend is moral support. Anyway, here I am — bouncing around time, putting things right which once went wrong. A sort of...time-traveling Lone Ranger, with Al as my Tonto; and I don't even need a mask. Oh, boy...
 * Opening narration, spoken by Scott Bakula, Season 1–2, episode 12

 * Theorizing that one could time-travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett led an elite group of scientists into the desert, to develop a top-secret project known as "Quantum Leap". Pressured to prove his theories or lose funding, Dr. Beckett prematurely stepped into the Project Accelerator — and vanished. He awoke to find himself in the past, suffering from partial amnesia, and facing a mirror image that was not his own. Fortunately, contact with his own time was maintained through brainwave transmissions with Al, the Project Observer, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Dr. Beckett can see and hear. Trapped in the past, Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, putting things right that once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home.
 * Opening narration, Season 2, episodes 13–22

 * Theorizing that one could time-travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator — and vanished. He awoke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own, and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And so Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap... will be the leap home.

About

 * When I pitched this idea to Brandon Tartikoff and he told me to explain it to him in twenty seconds so his mother could understand it, I decided not to get into the physical aura aspect of it.

 * Had he leapt into Jimmy, and truly been a person who had a handicap, or was retarded, then I don't know what we'd have been accomplishing with that. Sam might have learned something out of it, but he learned something leaping in and being himself and being perceived as being a retarded person. And that means that people see you as something, and they treat you like it, and they don't give you the chance to be who you could be. And that's a part of what we're talking about, part of what we're trying to change.
 * So the idea is not that he really is that person. That never was the concept. The concept in my head was that when he leaped in, people saw the aura of the person he leaped into. It's a little bit like, if I came up here in the beginning of this thing as I did, and I somehow hypnotized you all, and instead of Scott Bakula being up here, because he was down working on the show, I had Michael Zinberg, who's a producer, come up and sit down here, and you all saw him as Scott Bakula. That's what happens on the show. It's only when you look in a mirror do you see, do we see, does Scott see, what everybody sees around him. But I think that holds true.
 * And I hope, I think that's also interesting; because he can leap in as a very old man that everyone can perceive cannot do anything, and he can be quite physical, and shocks people when that happens. Or he can leap in as a man his age; he's not very old, but he can be trying to perform as a boxer who's twenty years old, and [it's] tough to do. So he is then handicapped in that situation by his limits. So that's the way we script it."
