Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines is a 2003 film, the third film in the Terminator series quadrilogy. It deals with an adult John Connor meeting his future wife and second-in-command, Kate Brewster, and the revelation that despite everything he and his mother have done over the course of his entire life and before, the war against machines is, in actuality, inevitable.

Meanwhile, the machines launch one last bid against the human resistance, sending a new Terminator to kill Connor and Brewster's lieutenants while initiating the final steps towards SkyNet's achievement of self-awareness, and starting the war.

''Directed by Jonathan Mostow. Screenplay by Jon Brancato and Michael Ferris.'' The Machines Will Rise. (taglines)

John Connor

 * The future has not been written. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. I wish I could believe that. My name is John Connor. They tried to murder me before I was born. When I was 13, they tried again. Machines from the future. Terminators. All my life my mother told me the storm was coming - Judgment Day, the beginning of a war between man and machines. Three billion lives were vanished in an instant. And I would lead what was left of the human race to ultimate victory. It hasn’t happened, no bombs fell, computers didn’t take control. We stopped Judgment Day. I should feel safe. But I don’t. So I live off the grid, no phone, no address. No one and nothing can find me. I’ve erased all connections to the past. But as hard as I try, I can't erase my dreams. My nightmares.
 * [last lines] By the time SkyNet became self-aware it had spread into millions of computer servers all across the planet. Ordinary computers in office buildings, dorm rooms, everywhere. It was software, in cyberspace. There was no system core. It could not be shut down. The attack began at 6:18 P.M. just as he said it would. Judgment Day. The day the human race was nearly destroyed by the weapons they built to protect themselves. I should have realized our destiny was never to stop Judgment Day; it was merely to survive it. Together. The Terminator knew. He tried to tell us, but I didn't want to hear it. Maybe the future has been written. I don't know. All I know is what the Terminator taught me. Never stop fighting. And I never will. The battle has just begun.

Dialogue

 * John: No, you shouldn't exist. We took out Cyberdyne over ten years ago. We stopped Judgment Day.
 * Terminator: You only postponed it. Judgment Day is inevitable.

 * [The Terminator cuts into its own chest to reach a damaged power cell.]
 * Terminator: T-X is designed for extreme combat, driven by a plasma reactor and equipped with onboard weapons. Its arsenal includes nanotechnological transjectors.
 * John: Meaning...?
 * Terminator: It can control other machines. [Pulls off a piece of flesh covering, throws it out car window] Its body chassis is heavily armored and hardened to withstand external attack.
 * John: You'll find a way to destroy her.
 * Terminator: Unlikely. I'm an obsolete design. T-X is faster, more powerful and more intelligent. It's a far more effective killing machine.
 * John: Oh, great. That's great.
 * Terminator: [removing damaged cell] My presence in this timeline has been anticipated. T-X is designed to terminate other cybernetic organisms.
 * John: So she's an Anti-Terminator... Terminator? You've gotta be shitting me.
 * Terminator: No, I am not shitting you.
 * [Throws cell away; it explodes by the roadside]

 * John: Just leave me here. I'm not the one you want. You're wasting your time.
 * Terminator: Incorrect. John Connor leads the resistance to victory.
 * John: How? Why? Why me?
 * Terminator: You are John Connor.
 * John: Christ! My mom fed me that bullshit since the cradle! Look at me! I'm no leader! I never was! I'm never gonna... [is choked by Terminator] Let go!
 * Terminator: You're right. You're not the one I want. I'm wasting my time.
 * John: Fuck you! You fucking machine!
 * Terminator: [releases John] Better.
 * John: You were just dicking with me?!
 * Terminator: Anger is more useful than despair.
 * John: What?!
 * Terminator: Basic psychology is among my sub-routines.

 * [The Terminator gives a long and complicated explanation of John's death]
 * John: What? What are you saying?
 * Terminator: [looks back at him] I killed you.
 * [John is left stunned by the revelation]

 * [John asks the Terminator about the revelation that Kate is actually his future wife]
 * John: Are you sure about this... me and her?
 * Terminator: Your confusion is not rational. She is a healthy female of breeding age.
 * John: Well, I think there's a little more to it than that...
 * Terminator: My database does not encompass the dynamics of human pair bonding.

 * [John, Kate and the Terminator rescue an already wounded Lt Gen Brewster]
 * John Connor: We have to shut down SkyNet. Where's the system core? Somewhere in this building?
 * Lt Gen Robert Brewster: SkyNet. The virus has infected SkyNet.
 * John: SkyNet is the virus. It's the reason everything's falling apart!
 * Terminator: SkyNet has become self-aware. In one hour, it will initiate a massive nuclear attack on it's enemy.
 * Brewster: What enemy?
 * John: Us. HUMANS!!

 * John: [Sees Terminator coming towards plane] Yes, he made it!
 * Terminator: Get away from me! Leave... now!
 * Kate: [From plane] Let's go, John! [John hops into plane while Kate runs startup checklist] The master's on. Throttle's set.
 * John: C'mon, let's go! [Terminator yanks door open, grabs John, and throws him across the room. Terminator comes after him] Please, you can't do this!
 * Terminator: I have no choice. The...T-X...has cor...corrupted my system.
 * John: You can't kill a human being. You said so yourself!
 * Kate: [jumps on Terminator's back] Let him go! [Terminator throws her off]
 * John: You're fighting it right now!
 * Terminator: My CPU is intact. But I cannot control...my other functions.
 * John: You don't have to do this. You don't want to do this!!!
 * Terminator: Desire is irrelevant. I am a machine! [Grabs John and throws him against a car. Comes up and takes John by the throat]
 * John: What is your mission?!
 * Terminator: To ensure the survival of John Connor and Katherine Brewster. [Raises fist]
 * John: You are about to fail that mission!
 * Terminator: I can... I cannot.
 * John: You know what you have to do! You know my destiny! I have to live!

 * [At Crystal Peak, John Connor and Kate Brewster hear messages over the shortwave radio]
 * Radio Operator: Hello? Hello? CQ CQ, is anybody there?
 * John: [disarms bomb and presses speak button] This is John Connor, Crystal Peak.
 * Radio Operator: Connor, what the hell is happening? Who's in charge there?
 * John: [short pause] I am.

About

 * "In one word : Great. There was a small part of me that hoped it wasn't good - but another part of me hope'd it succeeded. And it did. And I'm so glad it did. Jonathon's made a great movie. Arnold's in great form. I really like what he's done with it". If he had done it, would he have handled it differently: "Yes. That's only natural. I mightn't have structrued it the same, nor may I have ended it the same way - but coming in where he has, such a hard thing to do, and I give Jonathan points for it".
 * James Cameron

The Pink Panther (2006 film)

The Pink Panther is a film about the bumbling Inspector Clouseau, an entirely lost Inspector who is ridiculously moronic and practically accomplishes nothing throughout most of the movie, until around the ending areas. The cast includes Steve Martin, Kevin Kline, Jean Reno, Emily Mortimer, and Beyoncé Knowles.

Inspector Jacques Clouseau

 * A woman is like an artichoke. You have to do some work before you get to her heart.

Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfus

 * Ah, Clouseau. Yes, well, the first time I ever heard that name, Clouseau was just a little nobody. He was the village idiot, as far as I could tell. As Chief Inspector of the Police Nationale, I hear many stories of our officers in the field. Clouseau generated many... many stories. Needless to say, Clouseau did not qualify for any advancement whatsoever. I never thought for a moment that I would have any use for him, until that fateful day. It was a perfect day for a murder. France against China, with the winner advancing to the finals. I had been invited, as Chief Inspector of the Police Nationale, and because of my recent nomination for the Medal of Honor. I have been nominated seven times. I have never won. But still, seven nominations. That's... something. Anyway, the Coach of the French team, Yves Gluant, came out for his customary ovation. On it: the Pink Panther diamond. It was quite the symbol of pride and victory for the French team. Gluant's girlfriend at that time was Xania, the international pop star. They had been having quite a stormy affair. By the end of regulation time, the score was tied, and the game went into sudden death. For a patriotic fan and true Frenchman like myself, it was almost too thrilling to believe. And then... the miracle. And then, in front of a stadium filled with people, Gluant collapsed, dead, a poison dart in his neck. And the Pink Panther had disappeared.

Dialogue

 * Inspector Clouseau: [Breaks down door to apartment] You are under arrest for ze' murder of Pierre Fouquette! [Is pointing at a Basset hound]
 * Inspector Clouseau: [Breaks down door to next apartment] You are under arrest for ze' murdur of Pierre Fouquette! [Is pointing at a baby]
 * Inspector Clouseau: [Breaks down door to next apartment] You are under arrest for ze' murdur of Pierre Fouquette! [Is pointing at Pierre Fouquette, who is eating a meal] Pierre Fouquette?! Ze Case is closed!

 * Clouseau: And you are?
 * Ponton: Gilbert Ponton. Detective, Second Class.
 * Clouseau: And what qualifications do you have for police work?
 * Ponton: My family has done police work in Paris for nine generations.
 * Clouseau: And before zat?
 * Ponton: We were policemen in the surrounding areas for two hundred years.
 * Clouseau: And before zat?
 * Ponton: Immigrants from various countries in Europe, all involved in police work.
 * Clouseau: And before zat?
 * Ponton: Farmers.
 * Clouseau: Mm. So you are a little lamb who has come to Clouseau for to learn. Gilbert Ponton, I vow to teach you everything I know about police work. And together, we are going to catch a killer.

 * [Clouseau and Ponton go to question the new head coach of the French national football team]
 * Vainqueur: You wanted to see me?
 * Clouseau: You are Vainquer?
 * Vainqueur: Yes. And who are you?
 * Clouseau: I am Inspector Clouseau. Per'aps you 'ave 'eard of me.
 * Vainqueur: No.
 * Clouseau: [notices Ponton taking notes] Don't write that down!
 * Vainqueur: What do you want?
 * Clouseau: I am told that Bizu hated Gluant.
 * Vainqueur: A lot of people hated Gluant.
 * Clouseau: Did you?
 * Vainqueur: I spent six years under his thumb, being verbally abused every day. Yes, I was not a fan of Yves Gluant.
 * Clouseau: And now 'e is dead... and you have his job. How ironic.
 * Vainqueur: Not every death is a tragedy.
 * Ponton: And, what was the-
 * Clouseau: Footsteps. Its a young woman. 30 to 35 years old. 5"2, 5"4. Brunette. And she is wearing high heels. Perhaps a bit too formal for the afternoon. She has on...[sniffs air] Chanel number 5. [The footsteps are shown to be those of Yuri, the team trainer].
 * Inspector Clouseau: Is anyone with you?
 * Yuri: No.
 * Inspector Clouseau: Do you have a pair of high 'eels in that bag?
 * Yuri: No.
 * Inspector Clouseau: Not even a small pair of pumps?
 * Yuri: No?
 * Inspector Clouseau: Who are you?
 * Yuri: I am Yuri, the trainer.
 * Inspector Clouseau: So what is it you do here, Yuri the trainer?
 * Yuri: I... train.
 * Inspector Clouseau: So you are Yuri the trainer who trains. humph. [turns away from Yuri, then suddenly turns and points at Yuri]
 * Inspector Clouseau: DO NOT LEAVE EUROPE!
 * Yuri: Bu-but I have to go to Asia.
 * Inspector Clouseau: Okay... DO NOT LEAVE EUROPE OR ASIA!
 * Yuri: And we have one match in Brazil.
 * Inspector Clouseau: Alright... DO NOT LEAVE EUROPE, ASIA, OR ZE AMERICAS!
 * Yuri: Okay.

 * Clouseau: You are the soccer player known as Bizu?!
 * Bizu: Yes.
 * Clouseau: You are acquainted with Yves Gluant?!
 * Bizu: I'm glad he's pushing up daisies.
 * Clouseau: 'e is not pushing up daisies. 'e is dead!
 * Bizu: It's an idiom!
 * Clouseau: You, sir, are the idiom. Now, unless you want to spend ze rest of your life in prison, you will answer ze next question: did you kill him?!
 * Bizu: I would have loved to have killed him.
 * Clouseau: Duh!
 * Bizu: But, some lucky bastard beat me to it.
 * Clouseau: You disgust me! I'll be right back. [Clouseau leaves, closing the door behind him, but immediately opens it again.] Cigarette?
 * Bizu: No. Thanks.
 * Clouseau: Good for you. Bizu, I know you didn't do it. Someone else did, and they are trying to set you up.
 * Bizu: You'll help me?
 * Clouseau: Of course I'll help you. Now, do you have any idea who could have done this terrible thing?
 * Bizu: His partner in those stupid restaurants, Larocque.
 * Clouseau: Raymond Larocque, the casino owner!
 * Bizu: Gluant would steal money from the restaurants and use it to gamble. My guess is Larocque got fed up and had him killed.
 * Clouseau: Bizu, I like you. I am going to help you. You and I are going to make a great team.
 * [Clouseau leaves and gets ready to be the Bad Cop again.]
 * Inspector Clouseau: Ze good-cop, bad-cop routine is working perfectly!
 * Ponton: You know, usually, two different cops do that.

 * Ponton: He was just found dead in a training facility locker room. Shot in the head.
 * Inspector Jacques Clouseau: Was it fatal?
 * Ponton: Yes.
 * Inspector Jacques Clouseau: How fatal?
 * Ponton: Um, completely.
 * Inspector Jacques Clouseau: I want to speak to him now!
 * Ponton:[looking confused] He's dead.

 * 006: Boswell. Nigel Boswell.  Agent 006.  Do you know what that means?
 * Clouseau: Yes. It means you are one short of the big-time.

 * Inspector Jacques Clouseau: I would like to take a closer look at your bawls.
 * Larocque: My what?
 * Inspector Jacques Clouseau: Your bawls. Your big, brass bawls.
 * Larocque: Uh, sure.
 * [starts to unzip pants]
 * Inspector Jacques Clouseau: [Picks up brass bowl on table and examines it]

 * Nigel Boswell/Agent 006: It is very important that you remain calm and do not turn around.
 * Inspector Jacques Clouseau: Remain calm, do not turn around.
 * Nigel Boswell/Agent 006: Behind you in the casino are the Gas Mask Bandits.
 * Inspector Jacques Clouseau: [Turns around and panics] Oh my God! Ze Gas Mask Bandits!

 * Inspector Jacques Clouseau: Without you, I would be nothing!
 * Dreyfus: Perhaps you still are.
 * Inspector Jacques Clouseau: Ha! Excellent verbal joust, inspector! We must do lunch sometime. Had it not been for you, who knows? Someone else might have won the Medal of Honor this year.
 * Dreyfus: [Grumbling as Clouseau gets in the car] Yes, I know. Idiot. [Looks down] Oh no.
 * Inspector Jacques Clouseau: What? What did you say?
 * Ponton: Nothing.
 * Inspector Jacques Clouseau: You mean, you didn't just say: Stop the car, dear God, I beg of you, stop the car?
 * Ponton: No.
 * Inspector Jacques Clouseau: Hmm.
 * [Chief Inspector Dreyfus seen screaming while his coat is stuck in the car door]
 * Chief Inspector Dreyfus: CLOUSEAU!

Talk:Star Trek: The Original Series

MemoryAlpha links
I am concerned about the use of MemoryAlpha links instead of Wikipedia links. This doesn't follow standard Wikiquote practice, and improperly promotes a non-Wikimedia Foundation website. Unless there is are compelling reasons to make such a major exception in this case, we need to replace external links with Wikipedia ones. (We're already way outside standard practices by linking all the episode titles.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:15, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

 * The MemoryAlpha links were originally used in the article when I began working on it, so naturally I assumed it's okay to use them and ended up using them a lot. Mainly because it seems that MemoryAlpha contains a lot more information about Star Trek than wikipedia. But I agree with you Jeff, it might be better to leave just the external link pointing to MemoryAlpha and fix the links in the article itself to wikipedia.

 * Maybe even remove all the episode title links. Although, I just checked, and it seems that wikipedia also has articles of each TOS episode. The thing is: Star Trek is in general very well documented compared to some of the tv-series today. Normal tv-series don't necessarily have articles in wikipedia of each episode. ST:TOS has, thanks to a huge fanbase, so I'd say it might actually be good to link to them since the articles do exist. And they seem to contain very detailed information of the episodes, at least the ones I glanced through did.

 * I'd say let's keep the episode title links, just change them to wikipedia articles.--Kimmo Laine 16:28, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I've already discussed the issues of avoiding problematic heading links vs. including logical episode links at Talk:MST3K#Links to Wikipedia film articles, and have yet to receive any response from the readers there. This is one of many, many Wikiquote issues that have a compelling reason to be discussed but lack any meaningful community involvement. It would probably be best to bring it up at Wikiquote talk:Templates/TV shows, but I doubt we'll get any significant action on this in the near future. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:52, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

After started attacking the MemoryAlpha-to-Wikipedia link conversion in modest chunks and attempted to resolve problems with links to the episode-numbered headings, I decided to take advantage of my fancy text editor to mass-update this article in two ways: I also changed the current-standard "Unknown episode" to "Unidentified episode". This may seem a minor point, but it's been sticking in my craw that we have quotes in these TV-show articles whose episode is supposedly "unknown", but are actually just not yet placed. I plan to update Templates/TV shows to reflect this subtle point.
 * I completed 24's MA->WP link conversion. I also fixed and verified all 180 related links (4 headings, 78 episodes, 6 films, and 6 utility links in the TOC; 79 WP episodes, 6 WP films, and 1 WQ article link in the section headings).
 * I removed the episode numbers, as they are recommended primarily to allow proper episode sorting. This becomes irrelevant to Wikiquote's needs when all episodes of a completed series are listed, and removing those danged episode numbers avoids link problems and several messy editing issues.

Category
In the latest update by Philip Stevens the category Science fiction TV shows was removed. As Star Trek The Original Series is primarily a Science fiction TV show, I don't frankly understand why this was changed? Unless it was to remove redundancy, since the article is under Star Trek, which itself is a sub category of Sci-fi TV shows. --Kimmo Laine 20:05, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

 * That's exactly right. WikiMedia Category policy is not to include an article in both a category and its parent (or grandparent, etc.). Articles may be included in multiple categories that aren't directly related, like "SF films" and "Star Trek" (under "SF TV shows"), or "SF books" and "SF films", etc. The system is not perfect (we still haven't come up with a nice way to collect members recursively, in order to show, for example, all TV shows), but it eliminates a lot of redundant inclusions. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:43, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Form a new section called Star Trek Movies
There are lots of quotes building up in Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generations. I propose we add a new section called Star Trek Movies and move all movies from both sections there. This is the most common way that other websites section off the franchise, such as the official site, startrek.com —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.161.28.75 (talk • contribs) 05:02, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I have a better idea. Let's establish separate articles for each film, just like we do for nearly all other films. Each article would include a "See also" section that lists the articles on the other films as well as all the TV series. The TV series articles should also include this list. In fact, Star Trek is substantial enough to justify a navigation section at the bottom, if someone cares to create one. (But that's only after we have all 16 articles.) Star Trek is more than popular enough to justify this expansion. This would also avoid issues of cast crossovers in 3 of the last 4 films, especially Generations. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 05:16, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

 * The transition has begun. Jeffq has started ten seperate articles, one for each Star Trek film.  However, the transition has only begun.  Much still needs to be done before the movie quotes can be removed from the TOS and TNG pages.  CALQL8 01:36, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Are there quotes that haven't been transferred yet? If not, the film sections should be deleted from the TV articles immediately, lest editors start adding quotes in only one or the other place and needlessly create a synchronization problem. The film articles do need improvement, but I'm not aware of any issues with the quotes themselves. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:34, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I am not aware of any missing quotes (maybe I should check), but links from the movie articles in wikipedia would lead to Star Trek: The Original Series. They need to be changed, along with any others out there that lead to movies here.  Maybe you're right, though, if people start adding quotes to the series' pages, it could get more confusing to fix later, very fast.  CALQL8 03:33, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

 * CALQL8, unless you plan to check right away, I recommend removing film quotes ASAP. It is easier to copy missing quotes from an old version of an article than to synchronize two live articles, and pointless to do the latter when the goal is not to have any film quotes in TV articles. I should have checked the WP film articles' WQ links when I was created the WQ film articles; I'll rectify that right now. Thanks for the reminder. Unfortunately, MediaWiki software doesn't make it easy yet to find links between projects, so we'll have to rely on WP editors to fix any other illogical links. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:50, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

WP redirected links
I see that there is some interest in un-redirecting WP links in the headings. I would advise against it for two main reasons: For these reasons, I urge editors not to practice needless parallelism by tacking on " (TOS episode)" to every title. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:19, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Wikipedia Star Trek articles are currently ignoring WP practice of not disambiguating articles that need no disambiguation. This is only one of many problems with the current set of Star Trek articles there. (I admit this surprised me, as I'd expect ST to have more conscientious editors than Buffy and other TV shows that are doing a better job.) Sooner or later, someone is going to fix this problem by switching silly articles like "For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky (TOS episode)" to the dab-less titles. When that happens, we'll just have to undo the work. Current Wikipedia policy is not to bother fixing single redirects without a compelling reason, which seems quite wise for us to follow in this situation.
 * 2) Having links at all in section headings is against Wikimedia practices for several reasons. One major reason is that it can mess up a number of practices, including the use of headings in edit summaries and some forms on linking from outside (like page history section links and redirects). This problem is exacerbated by using titles that are longer than necessary, like pointless disambiguations. If we're going to have heading links, they should be as short as possible without being inaccurate or misleading.

You're dead, Jim.
I have reviewed "Amok Time" and "The Tholian Web" multiple times, and I can't find that McCoy ever says "You're dead, Jim." (They both use to have this line in as a quote, but I removed it.) I also don't recall hearing that line in any other TOS episode. I added it to the Unidentified episode section for the time being, but I propose we add the following entry to the Common misquotations in the article:

 * You're dead, Jim. - Leonard McCoy
 * McCoy had several lines of this sort, but he never said "You're dead" to Kirk. This is often attributed when it appears that Kirk dies, particularly in "Amok Time" and "The Tholian Web."

I already added this in the article as a comment (doesn't show in article, only in edit). I just want to make sure that this is okay. Am I wrong? Does this line actually exist some where and I just keep missing it? -- CALQL8 05:58, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

 * After your research, CALQL8, I thought it was warranted to remove the quote from "Unidentified episode" and uncomment it in "Misattributed". I commend your efforts to verify this quote (as well as all your other efforts on this article!). If someone else can cite the exact scene in either episode where this is said, they are welcome to re-add it to the appropriate episode, although if it's still missing from either one, it should probably still have the Misattributed entry for that episode. By the way, I changed "Frequent misquotations" to "Misattributed" because (A) it's more of a standard heading, and (B) it provides a place for any reasonable misattributions, not just the most famous ones. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 11:52, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Internal Redirects
All of the internal redirects at the top of the page that redirect to episodes where quotes have been added around the title are broken. Those are going to have to be fixed, and unfortunately I don't have time to do it right now.--Zequist 05:15, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Okay, now they work. Sorry.  --  CALQL8 08:16, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

She can't take much more of this, Captain.
I added this quote to the "misattributed" area because, despite its fame, I don't remember it ever actually being used, nor can I find any examples of it from scanning the transcripts. I haven't seen some of the movies in years and haven't seen the animated series at all, so I don't know/can't remember if it ever popped up in either of those media. Feel free to make a note if it (or something close to it) did, or if I overlooked a scene in TOS somewhere.--Zequist 15:07, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Someone Please Add...
SPOCK: I've noticed that about your people, Doctor. You find it easier to understand the death of one than the death of a million. You speak about the objective hardness of the Vulcan heart, yet how little room there seems to be in yours. MCCOY: Suffer the death of thy neighbour, eh, Spock? You wouldn't wish that on us, would you? SPOCK: It might have rendered your history a bit less bloody. - from: The Immunity Syndrome I don't wanna go through the motions of formatting and all, but that was one of my favorite TOS exchanges, and I was disappointed that it wasn't in here when I was searching the web for the exact words. --Anon 17:13, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * ✅ ~ UDScott 18:13, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Wait ... whaaaat?
Currently in the Misattributed section is this bit of nonsense: "You're dead, Jim" attributed to McCoy. Not only did McCoy never say anything so ridiculous but what was the original poster thinking when he posted it? Did McCoy ever look at Kirk's corpse and say, "You're dead, Jim"(??!!) (If so, where did this take place?) If no one objects I'm going to remove it as it looks more like the action of vandalism than anything else. __209.179.16.138 03:31, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Please see You're dead, Jim. Also, "misattributed" means that a quote was not said by that person.  --CALQL8 (talk) 00:59, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

How can this be missing?!?
• "Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before." Seriously people, did someone remove all your brains as well? 206.45.207.231 03:02, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Commando (1985 film)

Commando (first released on October 4, 1985) is a Hollywood action movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. It is still enjoyed today on video for its camp value, hilarious one-liners, and humorously over-the-top violence. If there's a mission that no man could survive...then he's the man for the job.

John Matrix

 * [Fighting Cooke] I eat Green Berets for breakfast and right now, I'm very hungry!
 * All that matters to me now is Jenny.
 * [Before fighting Bennett] C'mon, Bennett, let's party!
 * [After throwing a pipe through him with steam coming out of it] Let off some steam, Bennett.
 * [Cooke says, "Fuck you, asshole", but discovers his gun is empty] Fuck you, asshole.
 * You're a funny guy, Sully. I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last.
 * [Dangling Sully over the cliff] Listen. Loyalty is very touching, but it is not the most important thing in your life right now. But what IS important is GRAVITY! I have to remind you, Sully: This is my weak arm!
 * [to Cindy after dropping Sully off a cliff] I let him go.
 * [After breaking Henrique's neck on the plane] Don't disturb my friend. He's dead tired.
 * [After killing Cooke] We'll take Cooke's car. He won't be needing it.
 * ¿Cómo estás?
 * [Activating the seaplane] Come on, you piece of shit! Fly or DIE!!
 * [After activating the seaplane] Works every time.

Bennett

 * [hearing explosions] Welcome back, John. So glad you could make it!
 * John, I'm not going to shoot you between the eyes, I'm going to shoot you between the balls!
 * They offered me a hundred grand. You want to know something? When I found out I could get my hands on you, I said I'd do it for nothing.
 * John, stick your head out, one shot, right between the eyes, I'll make it quick, just for old time sake.
 * Ever since you had me thrown out of your unit, I've waited to pay you back. Do you know what today is Matrix?... Pay day!
 * John!.. I'll be ready, John!
 * CATCH... YOU!!!
 * John, I feel good!
 * NO - Not daddy...
 * What does it feel like to be a dying man?... you're a dead man, John!
 * Tranquilizers... I wanted to use the real thing!!
 * You're getting old, John. You're getting old.
 * I can beat you! I don't need the girl! I DON'T NEED THE GIRL! I don't need the gun, John! I can beat you! I DON'T NEED NO GUN! I'M GONNA KILL YOU NOW!

Jenny

 * Not nearly as nice as watching him smash your face in.
 * Got a warrant?
 * Hey there.
 * (Looking at a lavender sweater) I'm not a big fan of really the entire turquoise color tree.
 * Daddy?
 * What is that Army helicopter doing here? You said you wouldn't go away again. You said you were done.
 * Dad, that is so old.
 * Is it bad?
 * Neato!
 * (In response to "What's in this?", referring to a sandwich) You don't wanna know.
 * (General Kirby asks her to let him talk to John in private) No way, Jose

Dialogue

 * Lawson: [carrying garbage] I'm afraid you'd miss me...
 * Cooke: [drawing his gun] Don't worry. We won't.

 * Forrestal: Now that is American workmanship. You think the Japanese invented that? Bullshit. We did. Oh, for a while there we lost it. But we got it back.
 * Cooke: I like Cadillacs.
 * Forrestal: You like Cadillacs, well come round around here, brother, and get into this Cadillac. You gonna love it. This is style and beauty... Comfy, right? Oh, I know what you gonna say, that's vinyl. Take it from me, you don't want leather, brother. Leather's hot. It's uncomfortable. It cracks. Nothing but trouble. Look at the headroom you've got in here. A guy like you is not gonna have any problem. [Cooke turns the key and starts the car] Go ahead, start it up. Listen to that. That's power. That's performance.
 * Cooke: You know what I like best?
 * Forrestal: What's that?
 * Cooke: ... The price. [Cranks up the car and backs up]
 * Forrestal: Hey! Wait a minute! You can't drive that car in here! Whoa! Whoa! [Cooke speeds up and runs over Forrestal]

 * Matrix: [reading one of Jenny's teen magazines] Why can't they just call him "Girl George"? It would get rid of all the confusion.
 * Jenny: Dad, that is so old.
 * Matrix: You know, when I was a boy and rock and roll came to East Germany, the Communists said it was subversive... (thinks for a moment) Maybe they were right?

 * Matrix: [To Jenny, referring to a sandwich she made him] What's in this?
 * Jenny: (Jokingly) You don't wanna know.

 * Jenny: [After Kirby leaves] Is it bad?
 * Matrix: I'm not going away, if that's what you mean.
 * Jenny: Then it can't be bad.

 * Matrix: Where is she?
 * Diaz: Mellow out man. We can't talk business with you waving guns in people's faces... Your daughter is safe, Colonel. Now whether she stays that way is up to you. My people got some business with you. And if you want your kid back, then you gotta co-operate, right?
 * Matrix: Wrong. [shoots him between the eyes]

 * Matrix: Bennett? I thought you were--
 * Bennett: Dead? You thought wrong. Ever since you had me thrown out of your unit, I've waited to pay you back. Do you know what today is Matrix? Pay day!
 * [Bennett fires a tranquilizer at Matrix]

 * [John Matrix, fully restrained in chains, comes out of sedation from being tranquilized. Bennett, Sully, Henriques, and despotic former dictator Arius are staring down at him]
 * Bennett: Tranquilizers. I wanted to use the real THING!
 * Matrix: Where's Jenny?
 * [Matrix discovers Arius]
 * Arius: You remember me, Colonel?
 * Matrix: I remember you, scumbag! Especially the people you've tortured and killed!
 * Arius: Colonel Matrix, you do not understand a country like Val Verde. It is a country that needs a president who has an understanding of discipline.
 * Matrix: Why tell me?
 * Arius: Because you're going to return to Val Verde and you are going to kill the president that you helped to overthrow me.
 * Matrix: Why don't you have Bennett do it? Sounds like something he would get off on.
 * Arius: Because President Velasquez trusts you, Colonel. After all, he made you the hero of the revolution. Why, Captain Bennett left, shall we say, uh, under a cloud. Yes?
 * Matrix: Yeah, 'cause he enjoyed killing a little TOO much.
 * Bennett: Your training, Matrix.
 * Arius: You can get close to President Velasquez. You will kill him. You know, Colonel, we went to a lot of trouble to find you. We had to pretend Captain Bennett's death so that General Kirby would become agitated and lead us to you, and now that I have you, you will do exactly as I tell you.
 * Matrix: Fuck you.

 * Bennett: Sully will make sure you get on the plane. Henriques is to stay with you, make sure you get off. If I don't hear of either one of them, she's dead.
 * Matrix: How much are they paying you, Bennett?
 * Bennett: They offered me a hundred grand. You want to know something? When I found out I could get my hands on you, I said I'd do it for nothing...
 * Henriques: Hey, hold it! [grabs Matrix by the arm]
 * Matrix:, Bennett!...
 * [Henriques takes Matrix away from Bennett]
 * Bennett:... John, I'll be ready, John!

 * Sully: Have a nice trip, uh? Take care. Oh, here. Have some beers in Val Verde, Matrix. It'll give everyone a little more time with your daughter.
 * Henriques: Heh.
 * Matrix: You're a funny guy, Sully, I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last...
 * Henriques: Move.
 * Sully: ...Hasta luego, fellas.

 * Stewardess: Any carry-on luggage?
 * Matrix: [pointing to Henriques] Just him.
 * Henriques: [to Matrix] Open your mouth again and I'll nail it shut.

 * Vicky: [voice over] Ladies and gentlemen, we are now preparing for departure. If you'll please make sure all your carry-on luggage is safely stored in the overhead compartments. Make sure your seat belts are fastened and extinguish all cigarettes. Once we reach our cruising altitude, we're gonna be serving our beverages and then, a little later on, our dinner. Shortly after that, we'll be showing our feature film.
 * [When no one is looking John covertly snaps Henriques' neck. He then covers Henriques in a hat and blanket to make it look like he is snoozing]
 * Vicky: [voice over] Your flight attendants are Susan and Lance...and I'm Vicky. We're here to make your trip as comfortable as possible. Thank you, and have a safe and enjoyable flight.
 * Matrix: Excuse me, how long is the flight?
 * Stewardess: We land in Val Verde in exactly eleven hours.
 * Matrix: Thank you. And do me a favor: Don't disturb my friend, he's dead tired.

 * Stewardess: Sir! During takeoff you must remain seated.
 * Matrix: I'm airsick...

 * Arius: [To Jenny] Your father seems to be co-operating. You'll be together with him again soon. Won't that be nice?
 * Jenny: Not nearly as nice as watching him smash your face in/kick your ass. (Director's Cut)

 * [Sully is at a pay phone talking to Bennett]
 * Sully: OK boss, he got on with Henriques, he is on the plane.
 * [Sully hangs up phone then eyeballs an off-duty stewardess named Cindy]
 * Sully: You know I've got something I'd really like to give you.
 * Cindy: I'm not interested!
 * Sully: Oh, you don't know what you're missing.
 * Cindy: Well from here it looks like a nightmare, will you please leave me alone!
 * Sully: ... You fucking whore!

 * [Matrix abducts Cindy]
 * Matrix: Don't move! I'm not going to hurt you. Step aside.
 * Cindy: You said "don't move"!
 * Matrix: Do it! Get in the car.
 * [Matrix and Cindy get in a car to pursue Sully with Matrix ripping the passenger side seat and casting it away]
 * Matrix: Do exactly what I tell you to do.
 * Cindy: Listen, I've got a 7:30 advanced karate class and I can't help you.
 * Matrix: We're not gonna make it.
 * [Sully drives away and tries to escape]
 * Matrix: Follow him!
 * Cindy: I knew you were gonna say that.

 * [In pursuit of Sully]
 * Cindy: Don't get offended by this question but, are you gonna kill me or something?
 * Matrix: No.
 * Cindy: I suppose you wouldn't tell me if you were.
 * Matrix: Sure I would.
 * Cindy: Really?
 * Matrix: Trust me.

 * Cindy: Can you tell me what this is about?
 * Matrix: Yeah. A guy I trusted for years wants me dead.
 * Cindy: That's understandable. I've only known you five minutes, and I want you dead too.
 * Matrix: Out. Come. Hurry up.
 * Cindy: Listen, if you're in a hurry, I can just I'm almost through with you.
 * Matrix: Listen to me. My daughter has been kidnapped. He's the only chance I've got of finding her. If he sees me or I lose him, he'll kill her. What I need you to do is follow him, tell him you're crazy about him.
 * Cindy: Try to bring him over here. I will do the rest and you can go back to your normal life, got it?
 * Matrix: No. Please, help me. You're the only chance I've got. She has less than 10 hours left. Don't you understand? They're gonna kill her.
 * Cindy: Okay. All right. I'll help you.

 * Police Officer: Attention all units, emergency on theater level, suspect six foot two, brown hair. He is one gigantic motherfucker...
 * Matrix: Here. Take the rocket launcher. Go.

 * Cindy: You steal my car, you rip the seat out, you kidnap me, you ask me to help you find your daughter which I very kindly do, and then you get me involved in a shoot out where people are dying and there's blood spurting all over the place, and then I watch you rip a phone booth out of a wall, swing from the ceiling like Tarzan, and then there's a cop that's going to shoot you and I save you and they start chasing me. Are you going to tell me what's going on or what?
 * Matrix: No.
 * Cindy: No?! No?!

 * Matrix: Where is she, Sully?
 * Sully: Kiss my ass...
 * Matrix: [pushes him] I can't hear you!
 * Sully: I'll say it a little louder, then: get fucked!
 * Matrix: Listen. Loyalty is very touching... [carries him to the edge of a cliff] but it is not the most important thing in your life right now! But what is important is GRAVITY! [Sully whimpers] I have to remind you, Sully—[pats the arm he holds Sully with]—this is my weak arm!
 * Sully: You can't kill me, Matrix! You need me to find your daughter!
 * Matrix: Where is she?
 * Sully: I don't know, but Cooke knows! I'll take you where I'm supposed to meet him!
 * Matrix: But you won't.
 * Sully: Why not?
 * Matrix: [dangles key in front of Sully's face] Because I already know. [Sully whimpers] Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last?
 * Sully: That's right, Matrix. You did!
 * Matrix: I LIED. [drops Sully]
 * Sully: OOH-WHOA-WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!...
 * [Matrix returns to Cindy]'
 * Cindy: So now you don't have a car.
 * [Matrix returns Sully's car to its rightful position]
 * Matrix: Now I do.
 * [Matrix and Cindy get inside Sully's car]
 * Cindy: What did you do with Sully?
 * Matrix: I let him go...

 * Cooke: You scared, motherfucker? Well you should be, 'cause this Green Beret's going to kick your big ass!
 * Matrix: I eat Green Berets for breakfast, and right now I am...[punches Cooke]...very hungry! [kicks Cooke]
 * Cindy: I can't believe this macho bullshit!
 * [a fistfight ensues which ends with Cooke getting thrown to the other room with two naked women]
 * Cooke: [gets up and pulls out a gun] Fuck you, asshole! [tries to shoot Matrix only to find that the gun is empty]
 * Matrix: Fuck you, asshole.
 * [Matrix punches Cooke and they continue fighting]
 * Cindy: These guys eat too much red meat!
 * [Matrix finally kills Cooke by punching him on a table leg, leaving him a bloody mess]
 * Matrix: Where is she? Cooke!

 * General Kirby: Call the federal building. Have them monitor every police, aviation and marine channel in the area.
 * Soldier: What are you expecting?
 * General Kirby: World War III!

 * Matrix: Repeat. This is Whiskey X-Ray 448 for General Kirby. Urgent you respond.
 * Marauder: Attention unidentified aircraft. This is the Coast Guard cutter Marauder. You're flying over the San Miguel Gunnery Range. This is a highly restricted area. You must change course, or you will be forced to land. Acknowledge.
 * Matrix: Urgent. Repeat. Urgent. You must contact General Franklin Kirby.
 * Marauder: You must first change course or you risk being shot down. Acknowledge.
 * Matrix: They shoot the shit out of this area all the time.
 * Cindy: All the flights out of LAX avoid it like the plague.
 * Matrix: Can you go below radar? Not marine radar.
 * Cindy: Maybe if I get us close enough to the water, the waves can camouflage us.
 * Matrix: Go down.
 * Cindy: Oh. Okay.
 * Matrix: Do it.
 * Cindy: Hang on.
 * [the seaplane descends to the ocean surface, creating waves that camouflage them from radar]
 * Radio officer: We lost them, sir.

 * Soldier: Slitting a little girl's throat is like cutting warm butter.
 * Bennett: [to the soldier] Put the knife away, and shut your mouth.

 * Bennett: I love listening to your little piss-ant soldiers trying to talk tough, they make me laugh. If Matrix was here, he'd laugh too.
 * Arius: Mr. Bennett, my soldiers are patriots.
 * Bennett: Your soldiers are nothing, Matrix and I could kill every one of them, at the blink of an eye - remember that.
 * Arius: Are you trying to frighten me, Mr. Bennett?
 * Bennett: I don't have to try. When Matrix finishes the job, he'll be back for his daughter - no matter whether she's dead or alive, it doesn't matter. Then he'll be after you, and the only thing between Matrix and you...is me.
 * Arius: It is you that is afraid, Mr. Bennett. You are afraid of Matrix.
 * Bennett: Of course, I'm smart. But I have an edge. I have his daughter...

 * [John Matrix and Cindy spot an island that appears to be Val Verde]
 * Cindy: Is that it?
 * Matrix: That's the one. Land here. It's the most isolated spot we'll find.
 * Cindy: Okay, here we go.
 * Matrix: Now, you remember the message?
 * Cindy: Commando, Kirby, Code Red, Coordinates. Got it.
 * Matrix: Don't break the silence until they've seen me.
 * Cindy: How will I know?
 * Matrix: Because all fucking hell is gonna break loose.
 * Cindy: Be careful, Matrix. Good luck.
 * Matrix: Thanks.

 * Bennett: [after he shot Matrix] John! How's your arm John?
 * Matrix: [hidden behind a wall] Come over and find out!
 * Bennett: No thanks, I think I'll take a pass. John, stick your head out. One shot, right between the eyes. I'll make it quick...just for old time's sake.
 * Matrix: Bennett, stop screwing around and let the girl go! It's me that you want! [Bennett laughs] I've only one arm! You can beat me! [gets out] Come on, Bennett. Throw away that chicken shit gun. You don't just want to pull the trigger. [holds up a knife] You want to put a knife in me [mysteriously] and look me in the eye and see what's going on in there when you turn it. That's what you wanted to do, right?
 * Bennett: [nervous whisper] I can kill you, John.
 * Matrix: Come on, let the girl go, it's between you and me. Don't deprive yourself of some pleasure. Come on, Bennett. Let's party!
 * Bennett: I can beat you! [Jenny whines] I don't need the girl! [pushes Jenny aside] I DON'T NEED THE GIRL! [nervous laugh] I don't need the gun, John. [confident evil laugh] I can beat you. [evil laugh] I DON'T NEED NO GUN! [throws it down and takes out a knife] I'M GONNA KILL YOU NOW!!!!!
 * [Matrix and Bennett fight until Bennett slices Matrix's abdomen]
 * Jenny: Daddy...
 * Bennett: You're getting old, John. You're getting old.
 * [Matrix and Bennett continue fighting until Bennett gets electrocuted]
 * Bennett: [Punching him] John, I feel good! Just like old times... What does it feel like to be a dying man? You're a dead man, John!
 * Matrix: Bull...shit! [Punches back]
 * Bennett: [Grabs his gun] John, I'm not gonna shoot you between the eyes...
 * [Matrix grabs a steam pipe]
 * Bennett: I'M GONNA SHOOT YOU BETWEEN THE BALLS!
 * [Matrix throws the steam pipe towards Bennett, killing him in the process as his body emits steam]
 * Matrix: Let off some steam, Bennett.

 * General Kirby: Leave anything for us?
 * Matrix: Just bodies.
 * General Kirby: I'd just like you to start up your new unit again, John. All it would take is you're coming back.
 * Matrix: This was the last time.
 * [John and Jenny Matrix embrace as they leave]
 * General Kirby: Until the next time.
 * [Cindy arrives at the island by seaplane, as Matrix turns to General Kirby]
 * Matrix: No chance.

Taglines

 * If there's a mission that no man could survive...then he's the man for the job.

Gary Oldman

Leonard Gary Oldman (born 21 March 1958) is an English actor, born in London.

Quotes

 * I used to be under the impression that in some kind of wanky, bullshit way, acting was like therapy: you get in and grapple with and exorcise all those demons inside of you. I don't believe that anymore. It's like a snow shaker. You shake the thing up, but it can't escape the glass. It can't get out. And it will settle until the next time you shake it up.
 * Film Scouts Interview 1997.05.08

 * Mel Gibson is in a town that’s run by Jews and he said the wrong thing because he’s actually bitten the hand that I guess has fed him—and doesn’t need to feed him anymore because he’s got enough dough.
 * 2014 Playboy interview

Talk:F. Scott Fitzgerald

I'm not sure where to put this but I thought it a good one. I got it from his letter to a Radcliffe student. p39 of What If? Writing Exercises for fiction writers, college edition: second edition, bernays, anne; Paineter, pamela; Pearson Longman 2004

Here is the quote:

"You've got to sell your heart, your strongest reactions, not the little minor things that only touch you lightly, the little experiences that you tell at dinner. This is especially true when you begin to write, when you have not yet developed the tricks of interesting people on paper, when you have none of the technique which it takes to learn. When in short, you have only your emotions to sell."

if someone would place this properly that would be cool.

-dan     Thanks dan

The attributed quotes has one that is from Tender Is The Night. The quote "Either you think -- or else others have to think for you..." is from that book. Not attributed.

The following quotation is from The Rich Boy:

What it was I do not know. Perhaps they promised that there would always be women in the world who would spend their brightest, freshest, rarest hours to nurse and protect that superiority he cherished in his heart."

The following quotations are from The Great Gatsby:
 * "Whenever you feel like criticizing any one, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."

 * "But the brilliance, the versatility of madness is akin to the resourcefulness of water seeping through, over, and around a dyke. It requires the united front of many people to work against it."

 * "He supposed many men meant no more than that when they said they were in love - not a wild submergance of soul, a dipping of all colours into an obscuring dye, such as his love for Nicole had been."

 * "She felt the nameless fear which precedes all emotions, joyous or sorrowful, inevitably as a hum of thunder precedes a storm."

Ernest Hemingway once said of F. Scott Fitzgerald:
 * "His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly's wings"

Hemingway is responsible for a famous misquotation of Fitzgerald's. According to Hemingway, a conversation between him and Fitzgerald went:

 * Fitzgerald: The rich are different from you and me.
 * Hemingway: Yes, they have more money.

This never actually happened; it is a retelling of an actual encounter between Hemingway and Mary Colum, which went as follows:

 * Hemingway: I am getting to know the rich.
 * Colum: I think you’ll find the only difference between the rich and other people is that the rich have more money.

The full quotation is found in Fitzgerald's words in his short story "The Rich Boy" (1926), paragraph 3: "Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft, where we are hard, cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand."

source: http://www.quotecounterquote.com/2009/11/rich-are-different-famous-quote.html:

You may have heard about a legendary exchange between the American novelists F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) and Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961).

Usually, Fitzgerald is quoted as saying: “The rich are different from you and me.” And, Hemingway is quoted as responding: “Yes, they have more money."

In fact, this is a mythical quote-counterquote. Here’s how it became a legend…

In 1925, Fitzgerald wrote a short story titled “Rich Boy.” It was later published in a popular book of his short stories titled All the Sad Young Men (1936). The story begins with this passage:

"Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me.  They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand.  They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves.  Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we are. They are different."

Clearly, that’s not a favorable view of the rich.

But years later, Ernest Hemingway, who was supposedly a friend of Fitzgerald, mocked the famed opening lines of “Rich Boy” in his short story “The Snows of Kilimanjaro.” In the original version of that story, printed in Esquire magazine in 1936, Hemingway wrote: “The rich...were dull and they drank too much, or they played too much backgammon. They were dull and they were repetitious. He remembered poor Scott Fitzgerald and his romantic awe of them and how he had started a story once that began, “The very rich are different from you and me.” And how some one had said to Scott, Yes, they have more money. But that was not humorous to Scott. He thought they were a special glamorous race and when he found they weren't it wrecked him as much as any other thing that wrecked him.”

Understandably, Fitzgerald was offended. He complained to Hemingway’s publisher and when the story was reprinted in a 1938 collection of Hemingway’s short stories, “Scott Fitzgerald” was changed to the name “Julian.”

But in his personal notebooks, Fitzgerald made the mistake of writing a cryptic entry that said: “They have more money. (Ernest’s wisecrack.)”

After Fitzgerald’s death, entries from his notebooks were included in The Crack-Up (1945), a book compiled from Fitzgerald’s writings by his friend Edmund Wilson.

Wilson added a footnote to the notebook entry about Ernest’s wisecrack that explained: “Fitzgerald had said, ‘The rich are different from us.’ Hemingway had replied, ‘Yes, they have more money.’”

After that, books began citing this footnote as if it were an actual conversation between Fitzgerald and Hemingway. And, thus a famous quote-counterquote myth was born.

Henry St John, 1st Viscount Bolingbroke

Henry St John, 1st Viscount Bolingbroke (September 16, 1678 – December 12, 1751) was an English statesman and philosopher.

Quotes

 * We have been twenty years engaged in the two most expensive wars that Europe ever saw. The whole burthen of this charge has lain upon the landed interest during the whole time. The men of estates have, generally speaking, neither served in the fleets nor armies, nor meddled in the public funds, and management of the treasure. A new interest has been created out of their fortunes, and a sort of property, which was not known twenty years ago, is now encreased to be almost equal to the terra firma of our island. The consequences of all this is, that the landed men are become poor and dispirited. They either abandon all thoughts of the publick, turn arrant farmers, and improve the estates they have left: or else they seek to repair their shattered fortunes by listing at court, or under the heads of partys. In the mean while those men are become their masters, who formerly would with joy have been their servants.
 * Letter to Lord Orrery (9 July 1709), quoted in 'The Letters of Henry St. John to the Earl of Orrery, 1709–1711', ed. H. T. Dickinson, Camden Miscellany, Vol. XXVI (1975), p. 146

 * Though the condition of France by evident tokens appears to be miserable, yet their ill circumstances are certainly exaggerated in our accounts. I doubt, we may add that our own state is not much better than our enemy's, and that an unseasonable harvest would reduce our people to the same misery as we triumph over. Peace is as much our interest as theirs. I am so firmly persuaded of this, that I will continue to hope the winter may ripen this glorious fruit, which the summer could not. As to the conditions of this peace, it is melancholy to reflect, that those articles you speak of, which will in their consequence devolve so prodigious a power on Holland, seem to be agreed on all sides; whilst the single principle on which we engaged in the war, remaines the only point in dispute.
 * Letter to Lord Orrery (1 September 1709), quoted in 'The Letters of Henry St. John to the Earl of Orrery, 1709–1711', ed. H. T. Dickinson, Camden Miscellany, Vol. XXVI (1975), p. 147

 * You may observe yourself...what a difference there is between the true strength of this nation and the fictitious one of the Whigs. How much time, how many lucky incidents, how many strains of power, how much money must go to create a majority of the latter; on the other hand, take but off the opinion that the Crown is another way inclined, the church interest rises with redoubled force, and by its natural genuine strength.
 * Letter to Mr. Drummond (10 November 1710), quoted in Gilbert Parke, Letters and Correspondence, Public and Private, of The Right Honourable Henry St. John, Lord Visc. Bolingbroke; during the Time he was Secretary of State to Queen Anne; with State Papers, Explanatory Notes, and a Translation of the Foreign Letters, &c.: Vol. I (1798), pp. 16–17

 * A peace must be had; and all mankind sees plainly now, in how vile a manner former opportunities were neglected of making a better than at this hour we have reason to expect.
 * Letter to Lord Orrery (30 March 1711), quoted in 'The Letters of Henry St. John to the Earl of Orrery, 1709–1711', ed. H. T. Dickinson, Camden Miscellany, Vol. XXVI (1975), p. 163

 * [I]t is a pretty shocking observation that the Queen is to be the guarantee for a loan of this extraordinary nature made by the Dutch, and especially at a time, when under pretence of disability they directly refuse to furnish their quotas for the sea service, in spight of the obligations of all sorts, which lye upon them to do otherwise.
 * Letter to Lord Orrery (6 April 1711), quoted in 'The Letters of Henry St. John to the Earl of Orrery, 1709–1711', ed. H. T. Dickinson, Camden Miscellany, Vol. XXVI (1975), p. 164

 * We are born too late to see the beginning, and we die too soon to see the end of many things.
 * On the Study and Use of History

 * I have read somewhere or other, — in Dionysius of Halicarnassus, I think, — that history is philosophy teaching by examples.
 * On the Study and Use of History, letter 2; in fact this relates to a third-century AD treatise on rhetoric, wrongly attributed to Dionysius of Halicarnassus, which says (xi. 2): "The contact with manners then is education; and this Thucydides appears to assert when he says history is philosophy learned from examples". The line is not found in Thucydides.

 * Nations, like men, have their infancy.
 * On the Study and Use of History, letter 4 (1752)

 * They (Thucydides and Xenophon) maintained the dignity of history.

 * The Philosophical Works Of the Late Right Honorable Henry St. John, Lord Viscount Bolinbroke (1754), Vol. II, Essay IV, Sect. XIII, p. 381

 * The second proposition admits and encourages the very practice we censure so justly, for which the saint [ Augustine of Hippo ] was so famous, and by which he contributed so much to promote contentions in his own days, and to perpetuate them to ours. The practice of deducing doctrines from the scriptures that are not evidently contained in them... Who does not see that the direct tendency of this practice is exactly the same as the event has proved it to be? It composes and propagates a religion, seemingly under the authority of God, but really under that of man. The principles of revelation are lost in theology, or disfigured by it: and whilst some men are impudent enough to pretend, others are silly enough to believe, that they adhere to the gospel, and maintain the cause of God against infidels and heretics, when they do nothing better, nor more, than espouse the conceits of men, whom enthusiasm, or the ambition of forming sects, or of making a great figure in them, has inspired. If you ask now what the practice of the christian fathers, and of other divines, should have been, in order to preserve the purity of faith, and to promote peace and charity, the answer is obvious... They should have adhered to the word of God: they should have paid no regard to heathen philosophy, jewish cabala, the sallies of enthusiasm, or the refinements of human ingenuity: they should have embraced, and held fast the articles of faith and doctrine, that were delivered in plain terms, or in unequivocal figures: they should not have been dogmatical where the sense was doubtful, nor have presumed even to guess where the Holy Ghost left the veil of mystery undrawn.
 * Lord Bolingbroke's Philosophical Works (1754) Vol.III, Essay IV, Sect XVI

 * It is the modest, not the presumptuous, inquirer who makes a real and safe progress in the discovery of divine truths. One follows Nature and Nature's God; that is, he follows God in his works and in his word.
 * Letter to Alexander Pope; compare: "Slave to no sect, who takes no private road, But looks through Nature up to Nature’s God", Alexander Pope, Essay on Man, epistle iv. line 331.

 * The shortest and surest way of arriving at real knowledge is to unlearn the lessons we have been taught, to mount the first principles, and take nobody's word about them.

On the Spirit of Patriotism (1736)

 * Letters, on the Spirit of Patriotism: On the Idea of a Patriot King: And On the State of Parties, at the Accession of King George the First (1749)

 * The manners of our fore-fathers were, I believe, in many respects better: they had more probity perhaps, they had certainly more show of honour, and greater industry.
 * p. 18

 * One party [the Whigs ] had given their whole attention, during several years, to the project of enriching themselves, and impoverishing the rest of the nation; and, by these and other means, of establishing their dominion under the government and with the favour of a family, who were foreigners, and therefore might believe, that they were established on the throne by the good will and strength of this party alone. This party in general were so intent on these views, and many of them, I fear, are so still, that they did not advert in time to the necessary consequences of the measures they abetted: nor did they consider, that the power they raised, and by which they hoped to govern their country, would govern them with the very rod of iron they forged, and would be the power of a prince or minister, not that of a party long.
 * pp. 20-21

 * Another party [the Tories ] continued sour, sullen, and inactive, with judgments so weak, and passions so strong, that even experience, and a severe one surely, was lost upon them. They waited, like the Jews, for a Messiah, that may never come; and under whom, if he did come, they would be strangely disappointed in their expectations of glory and triumph, and universal dominion. Whilst they waited, they were marked out like the Jews, a distinct race, hewers of wood and drawers of water, scarce members of the community, tho born in the country.
 * pp. 21-22

 * The service of our country is no chimerical, but a real duty. He who admits the proofs of any other moral duty, drawn from the constitution of human nature, or from the moral fitness and unfitness of things, must admit them in favour of this duty, or be reduced to the most absurd inconsistency.
 * pp. 27-28

 * To what higher station, to what greater glory can any mortal aspire, than to be, during the whole course of his life, the support of good, the controul of bad government, and the guardian of public liberty?
 * p. 29

 * Neither Montaigne in writing his essays, nor DesCartes in building new worlds, nor Burnet in framing an antedeluvian earth, no nor Newton in discovering and establishing the true laws of nature on experiment and a sublimer geometry, felt more intellectual joys; than he feels who is a real patriot, who bends all the force of his understanding, and directs all his thoughts and actions, to the good of his country.
 * p. 31

 * My Lord, I have insisted the more on this duty which men owe to their country, because I came out of England, and continue still, strongly affected with what I saw when I was there. Our government has approached, nearer than ever before, to the true principles of it, since the revolution of one thousand six hundred and eighty eight: and the accession of the present family to the throne, has given the fairest opportunities, as well as the justest reasons, for compleating the scheme of liberty, and improving it to perfection.
 * pp. 36-37

 * [N]o human institution can arrive at perfection, and the most that human wisdom can do, is to procure the same or greater good, at the expence of less evil.
 * p. 45

 * There have been periods when our government continued free, with strong appearances of becoming absolute. Let it be your glory, my Lord, and that of the new generation springing up with you, that this government do not become absolute at any future period, with the appearances of being free.
 * p. 46

The Idea of a Patriot King (1738)

 * Letters, on the Spirit of Patriotism: On the Idea of a Patriot King: And On the State of Parties, at the Accession of King George the First (1749)

 * I think, and every wise and honest man in generations yet unborn will think, if the history of [thi]s administration descends to blacken our annals, that the greatest iniquity of the minister [ Robert Walpole ], on whom the whole iniquity ought to be charged, since he has been so long in possession of the whole power, is the constant endeavour he has employed to corrupt the morals of men.
 * pp. 68-69

 * The minister [ Robert Walpole ] preaches corruption aloud and constantly, like an impudent missionary of vice.
 * p. 72

 * It seems to me, upon the whole matter, that to save or redeem a nation under such circumstances from perdition, nothing less is necessary than some great, some extraordinary conjuncture of ill fortune, or of good, which may purge, yet so as by fire. Distress from abroad, bankruptcy at home, and other circumstances of like nature and tendency, may beget universal confusion. Out of confusion order may arise: but it may be the order of a wicked tyranny, instead of the order of a just monarchy. Either may happen: and such an alternative, at the disposition of fortune, is sufficient to make a stoic tremble! We may be saved indeed by means of a very different kind; but these means will not offer themselves, this way of salvation will not be opened to us, without the concurrence, and the influence of a P ATRIOT K ING, the most uncommon of all phænomena in the physical or moral world. Nothing can so surely and so effectually restore the virtue and public spirit, essential to the preservation of liberty, and national prosperity, as the reign of such a prince.
 * pp. 72-73

 * I esteem monarchy above any other form of government, and hereditary monarchy above elective. I reverence kings, their office, their rights, their persons; and it will never be owing to the principles I am going to establish, because the character and government of a patriot king can be established on no other, if their office and their right are not always held divine, and their persons always sacred.
 * pp. 83-84

 * The obligation of submission to both, is discoverable by so clear and so simple an use of our intellectual faculties, that it may be said properly enough to be revealed to us by God; and tho both these laws cannot be said properly to be given by Him, yet our obligation to submit to the civil law is a principal paragraph in the natural law, which he has most manifestly given us.
 * pp. 84-85

 * It follows, therefore, that he who breaks the laws of his country resists the ordinance of God, that is, the law of his nature. God has instituted neither monarchy, nor aristocracy, nor democracy, nor mixed government: but tho God has instituted no particular form of government among men, yet by the general laws of his kingdom, he exacts our obedience to the laws of those communities to which each of us is attached by birth, or to which we may be attached by a subsequent and lawful engagement.
 * pp. 85-86

 * Nothing can be more absurd, in pure speculation, than an hereditary right in any mortal to govern other men: and yet, in practice, nothing can be more absurd than to have a king to choose at every vacancy of a throne. We draw at a lottery indeed in one case, where there are many chances to lose, and few to gain. But have we much more advantage of this kind in the other? I think not. Upon these, and upon most occasions, the multitude would do at least as well to trust to chance as choice, and to their fortune as to their judgment.
 * pp. 89-90

 * To conclude this head therefore, as I think a limited monarchy the best of governments, so I think an hereditary monarchy the best of monarchies. I said a limited monarchy; for an unlimited monarchy, wherein arbitrary will, which is in truth no rule, is however the sole rule, or stands instead of all rule of government, is so great an absurdity, both in reason informed or uninformed by experience, that it seems a government fitter for savages than for civilized people.
 * pp. 91-92

 * Among many reasons which determine me to prefer monarchy to every form of government, this is a principal one. When monarchy is the essential form, it may be more easily and more usefully tempered with aristocracy or democracy, or both, than either of them, when they are the essential forms, can be tempered with monarchy. It seems to me, that the introduction of a real permanent monarchical power, or any thing more than the pageantry of it, into either of these, must destroy them and extinguish them, as a great light extinguishes a less. Where it may easily be shewn, and the true form of our government will demonstrate, without seeking any other example, that very considerable aristocratical and democratical powers may be grafted on a monarchical stock, without diminishing the lustre, or restraining the power and authority of the prince, enough to alter in any degree the essential form.
 * pp. 92-93

 * There must be an absolute, unlimited, and uncontroulable power lodged somewhere in every government; but to constitute monarchy, or the government of a single person, it is not necessary that this power should be lodged in the monarch alone.
 * p. 93

 * There are limitations indeed that would destroy the essential form of monarchy: or, in other words, a monarchical constitution may be changed, under pretence of limiting the monarch. This happened among us in the last century, when the vilest usurpation, and the most infamous tyranny, were established over our nation, by some of the worst and some of the meanest men in it. I will not say, that the essential form of monarchy should be preserved, tho the preservation of it were to cause the loss of liberty. Salus reipsuprema lex esto, is a fundamental law: and sure I am, the safety of a commonwealth is ill provided for, if the liberty be given up. But this I presume to say, and can demonstrate, that all the limitations necessary to preserve liberty, as long as the spirit of it subsists, and longer than that, no limitations of monarchy, nor any other form of government, can preserve it, are compatible with monarchy.
 * p. 96

 * My aim is to fix this principle, that limitations on a crown ought to be carried as far as it is necessary to secure the liberties of a people; and that all such limitations may subsist, without weakening or endangering monarchy.
 * p. 97

 * As soon as corruption ceases to be an expedient of government, and it will cease to be such as soon as a patriot king is raised to the throne, the panacea is applied: the spirit of the constitution revives of course; and as fast as it revives, the orders and forms of the constitution are restored to their primitive integrity, and become what they were intended to be; real barriers against arbitrary power, not blinds nor masks under which tyranny may lie concealed. Depravation of manners exposed the constitution to ruin; reformation will secure it.
 * p. 134

 * A patriot king is the most powerful of all reformers; for he is himself a sort of standing miracle, so rarely seen and so little understood, that the sure effects of his appearance will be admiration and love in every honest breast, confusion and terror to every guilty conscience, but submission and resignation in all. A new people will seem to arise with a new king. In numerable metamorphoses, like those which poets feign, will happen in very deed: and while men are conscious that they are the same individuals, the difference of their sentiments will almost persuade them that they are changed into different beings.
 * p. 135

 * By the principles of the Revolution, a subject may resist, no doubt, the prince who endeavours to ruin and enslave his people, and may push this resistance to the dethronement and exclusion of him and his race: but will it follow, that, because we may justly take arms against a prince whose right to govern we once acknowledged, and who by subsequent acts has forfeited that right, we may swear to a right we do not acknowledge, and resist a prince whose conduct has not forfeited the right we swore to, nor given any just dispensation from our oaths?
 * p. 171

 * The situation of Great Britain, the character of her people, and the nature of her government fit her for trade and commerce. Her climate and her soil make them necessary to her well being. By trade and commerce we grew a rich and powerful nation, and by their decay we are growing poor and impotent. As trade and commerce enrich, so they fortify our country. The sea is our barrier, ships are our fortresses, and the mariners, that trade and commerce alone can furnish, are the garrisons to defend them.
 * pp. 184-185

 * The French may improve their natural wealth and power by the improvement of trade and commerce. We can have no wealth, nor power by consequence, as Europe is now constituted, without the improvement of them, nor in any degree but proportionably to this improvement.
 * p. 186

 * The result of what has been said is, in general, that the wealth and power of all nations depending so much on their trade and commerce, and every nation being...in such different circumstances of advantage or disadvantage in the pursuit of this common interest; a good government, and therefore the government of a patriot king, will be directed constantly to make the most of every advantage that nature has given, or art can procure towards the improvement of trade and commerce. And this is one of the principal criterions, by which we are to judge whether governors are in the true interest of the people, or not. It results, in particular, that Great Britain might improve her wealth and power in a proportion superior to that of any nation who can be deemed her rival, if the advantages she has were as wisely cultivated, as they will be in the reign of a patriot king.
 * pp. 186-187

 * A patriot king will neither neglect, nor sacrifice his country's interest. No other interest, neither a foreign nor a domestic, neither a public nor a private, will influence his conduct in government... To give ease and encouragement to manufactory at home, to assist and protect trade abroad, to improve and keep in heart the national colonies, like so many farms of the mother-country, will be principal and constant parts of the attention of such a prince.
 * pp. 190-191

 * By a continual attention to improve her natural, that is her maritime strength, by collecting all her forces with in herself, and reserving them to be laid out on great occasions, such as regard her immediate interests and her honour, or such as are truly important to the general system of power in Europe; she may be the arbitrator of differences, the guardian of liberty, and the preserver of that Balance, which has been so much talked of, and is so little understood.
 * pp. 193-194

 * Like other amphibious animals, we must come occasionally on shore: but the water is more properly our element, and in it, like them, as we find our greatest security, so we exert our greatest force.
 * p. 195

 * In his place, concord will appear, brooding peace and prosperity on the happy land; joy fitting in every face, content in every heart; a people unoppressed, undisturbed, unalarmed; busy to improve their private property and the public stock; fleets covering the ocean; bringing home wealth by the returns of industry; carrying assistance or terror abroad by the direction of wisdom; and asserting triumphantly the right and the honour of Great Britain, as far as waters roll and as winds can waft them. Those who live to see such happy days, and to act in so glorious a scene, will perhaps call to mind with some tenderness of sentiment, when he is no more, a man, who contributed his mite to carry on so good a work, and who desired life for nothing so much, as to see a king of Great Britain the most popular man in his country, and a patriot king at the head of an united people.

Quotes about Bolingbroke

 * Who now reads Bolingbroke? Who ever read him through? ... I do not often quote Bolingbroke, nor have his works in general, left any permanent impression on my mind. He is a presumptuousness and a superficial writer. But he has one observation, which in my opinion, is not without depth and solidity. He says, that he prefers a monarchy to other governments; because you can better ingraft any description of republic on a monarchy than any thing of monarchy upon the republican forms. I think him perfectly in the right.
 * Edmund Burke, Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790), pp. 133, 187

 * He engaged young, and distinguished himself in business; and his penetration was almost intuition. I am old enough to have heard him speak in parliament. And I remember that, though prejudiced against him by party, I felt all the force and charms of his eloquence. Like Belial in Milton, “he made the worse appear the better cause.” All the internal and external advantages and talents of an orator are undoubtedly his. Figure, voice, elocution, knowledge, and, above all, the purest and most florid diction, with the justest metaphors and happiest images, had raised him to the post of Secretary at War, at four-and-twenty years old, an age at which others are hardly thought fit for the smallest employments.
 * Earl of Chesterfield to his son (12 December 1749) quoted in Letters Written By The Late Right Honourable Philip Dormer Stanhope, Earl Of Chesterfield, To His Son, Philip Stanhope, Esq. Late Envoy-Extraordinary At The Court Of Dresden: Together with Several Other Pieces On Various Subjects: In Four Volumes, Volume II (1792), p. 292

 * Lord Bolingbroke, one of the ablest men who ever lived, was a firm and uncompromising Tory, and he advocated triennial Parliaments. He said that without this there was no security for the people, no integrity for the constitution.
 * Benjamin Disraeli, speech in High Wycombe (27 November 1832), quoted in Selected Speeches of the late Right Honourable the Earl of Beaconsfield: Volume II, ed. T. E. Kebbel (1882), p. 7

 * Bolingbroke was typical not only in his attempt to define the true interests of the state but also in his use of the analogy between the political society and the family to assert that not unity but discord was the natural relationship between states. The personal needs of men were met by the development of society out of the family. Self-love, which originally assisted this development and produced separate societies, then ensured that the development would spread no further. "The great commonwealth of mankind cannot be brought under one government, nor subsist without any." As Bolingbroke used these views to make himself an early advocate of a maritime, insular, colonial Great Britain, intervening in European affairs only when her interest in the balance of power required it, so the continental writers of his time completely abandoned the traditional belief in Christendom or Europe as a structure above or at least additional to its component states.
 * F. H. Hinsley, Power and the Pursuit of Peace: Theory and Practice in the History of Relations between States (1963), p. 161

 * He was called indeed a tory; but his writings prove him a stronger advocate for liberty than any of his countrymen, the whigs of the present day. Irritated by his exile, he committed one act unworthy of him, in connecting himself momentarily with a prince rejected by his country. But he redeemed that single act by his establishment of the principles which proved it to be wrong... Lord Bolingbroke's...is a style of the highest order. The lofty, rhythmical, full-flowing eloquence of Cicero. Periods of just measure, their members proportioned, their close full and round. His conceptions, too, are bold and strong, his diction copious, polished and commanding as his subject. His writings are certainly the finest samples in the English language, of the eloquence proper for the Senate. His political tracts are safe reading for the most timid religionist, his philosophical, for those who are not afraid to trust their reason with discussions of right and wrong.
 * Thomas Jefferson to Francis Eppes (19 January 1821), quoted in Thomas Jefferson, Writings, ed. Merrill D. Peterson (1984), p. 1451

 * Awake, my St. John, leave all meaner thingsTo low ambition, and the pride of kings.Laugh when we must, be candid when you can,And vindicate the ways of God to man.
 * Alexander Pope, quoted in Ancient and Modern Celebrated Freethinkers (Half-Hours with the Freethinkers) by Charles Bradlaugh, A. Collins, and J. Watts (1877)

 * I think Mr. secretary St. John the greatest young man I ever knew: wit, capacity, beauty, quickness of apprehension, good learning, and an excellent taste; the best orator in the house of commons, admirable conversation, good nature, and good manners; generous, and a despiser of money. His only fault is, talking to his friends in way of complaint of too great load of business, which looks a little like affectation; and he endeavours too much to mix the fine gentleman, and the man of pleasure, with the man of business. What truth and sincerity he may have, I know not.
 * Jonathan Swift, Letter XXXIII (23 October 1711), A Journal to Stella, quoted in The Works of Jonathan Swift, containing additional letters, tracts, and poems, with notes, and a life of the author, by W. Scott, Volume II (1824), pp. 405–406

 * [T]he accomplishments of his mind, which was adorned with the choicest gifts that God has yet thought fit to bestow upon the children of men; a strong memory, a clear judgment, a vast range of wit and fancy, a thorough comprehension, an invincible eloquence, with a most agreeable elocution.
 * Jonathan Swift, An Inquiry into the Behaviour of the Queen's last Ministry, &c. (June 1715), quoted The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift, Volume 4, ed. Thomas Sheridan (1801), in p. 310

 * With the signing of the Treaties of Utrecht, Bolingbroke's one great achievement in the world of action was accomplished. The rest of his political career, after a Niagara leap into rebellion, was to be lost in shallows and in miseries. But he stands in history as the man who, by courses however devious and questionable, negotiated a Peace which proved in the working more satisfactory than any other that has ended a general European conflict in modern times.
 * G. M. Trevelyan, England Under Queen Anne: The Peace and the Protestant Succession (1934), p. 230

Quotes

 * Florida's Southern all right. Why North Florida and South Georgia are about the same, same folks, same ways, same ways of making a living. Florida is a Southern state sharing the fate of the South. Of course, North Florida and South Florida are different. There are a lot of Northerners in the South and they're different from the old farm and plantation folks in the North. They usually say down here that Ocala is about the dividing line.
