Geoffrey Howe

Richard Edward Geoffrey Howe, Baron Howe of Aberavon, CH, PC, QC (20 December 1926 – 9 October 2015), known from 1970 to 1992 as Sir Geoffrey Howe, was a British Conservative politician. He was Margaret Thatcher's longest-serving Cabinet minister, successively holding the posts of Chancellor of the Exchequer, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, and finally Leader of the House of Commons and Deputy Prime Minister. His resignation on 1 November 1990 is widely thought to have hastened Thatcher's own downfall three weeks later.

Quotes

 * Britain's future depends, above all, on mastering inflation. That can be done, as the right hon. Member for Leeds, East (Mr. [Denis] Healey) well knows, only if we bring the money supply under firm control, progressively reduce the rate of monetary growth over the years and pursue the most rigorous restraint on public spending. The supposed alternatives to these policies are a delusion. None of those alternatives would be responsible and none would be sustainable. The action that I have taken today underlines the Government's total and continuing commitment to getting inflation down.
 * Speech in the House of Commons (15 November 1979)

 * The well-being of the British people and the health of our economy are far more important than any government's commitment to a particular strategy, but to change course now would be fatal to the whole counter-inflation strategy.
 * "Chancellor determined not to change course in the fight against inflation", The Times (11 March 1981) p. 6.
 * 1981 budget speech.

 * Denis Healey: Can he assure us there is no question of American military intervention as this could only make the situation worse? Sir Geoffrey Howe: There is no question of that.
 * "British and American warships standing by", The Times (25 October 1983), p. 4.
 * Answering a question on Grenada in the House of Commons (24 October 1983). The United States invaded that night.

 * In this case, the United States had particular reason to consult most closely with those Caribbean countries which had called on it to help resolve the crisis. Nevertheless, their lack of consultation was regrettably less than we would have wished.
 * "Foreign Secretary regrets lack of consultation by US", The Times (27 October 1983); p. 4.
 * Remarks in the House of Commons (26 October 1983), on the United States' decision to invade Grenada (a Commonwealth country) without consultation with the United Kingdom.

 * How on earth are the Chancellor and the Governor of the Bank of England, commending the 'Hard ECU' as they strive to, to be taken as serious participants in the debate against that kind of background noise? I believe that both the Chancellor and the Governor are cricketing enthusiasts, so I hope that there is no monopoly of cricketing metaphors. It is rather like sending your opening batsmen to the crease only for them to find, the moment the first balls are bowled, that their bats have been broken before the game by the team captain.
 * Hansard, House of Commons, 6th series, vol. 180 col. 464.
 * Personal statement in the House of Commons on his resignation (13 November 1990).

 * The conflict of loyalty, of loyalty to my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister--and, after all, in two decades together that instinct of loyalty is still very real--and of loyalty to what I perceive to be the true interests of the nation, has become all too great. I no longer believe it possible to resolve that conflict from within this Government. That is why I have resigned. In doing so, I have done what I believe to be right for my party and my country. The time has come for others to consider their own response to the tragic conflict of loyalties with which I have myself wrestled for perhaps too long.
 * Hansard, House of Commons, 6th series, vol. 180 col. 465.
 * Conclusion of personal statement in the House of Commons on his resignation (13 November 1990). Howe's invitation to "others to consider their own response" was interpreted as a direct call to Michael Heseltine to challenge Margaret Thatcher for the leadership of the Conservative Party.

Quotes about Geoffrey Howe

 * I start with the measures which the Government announced last Thursday, and which are the immediate occasion of today's debate, and to which the right hon. Gentleman finally came round – a trifle nervously, I thought - after ploughing through that tedious and tendentious farrago of moth-eaten cuttings presented to him by the Conservative Research Department. I must say that part of his speech was rather like being savaged by a dead sheep.
 * Hansard, House of Commons, 5th series, vol. 951 col. 1027.
 * Denis Healey, Howe's opposite number as Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Labour government, speaking in the House of Commons (14 June 1978)

 * A fine mind, intellectual conviction, integrity, tenacity, resilience, great courtesy allied to almost ruthless ambition, more than made up for a somewhat colourless public personality (although he was far from colourless in private) and lack-lustre parliamentary performances. Although in no sense an economist, his experience of trying to implement the absurdities of a statutory prices and incomes policy as Minister for Consumer Affairs in the Heath cabinet, coupled with his liberal principles in the true sense of the word, meant that there was a ready meeting of minds. Very much a lawyer, he is a glutton both for work and for detail, and needs remarkably little sleep. This is something he shares with Margaret; but in other respects, they could scarcely be more different. For him politics is about being reasonable, and persuasion a matter of patient education. My manner, too, is very different from Geoffrey's, but I never felt his to be a sign of weakness, as she clearly did. Curiously, in the light of subsequent events, our only significant policy difference was over Europe, where the drift towards a United States of Europe was something that I viewed with deep foreboding, but which Geoffrey manifestly did not.
 * Nigel Lawson, The View from No. 11: Memoirs of a Tory Radical (1992), p. 16

 * The third and last in this sequence of events was Geoffrey Howe's resignation speech of 13 November 1990... Always a deliberate man – one of his favourite sayings was that a government should proceed "at all deliberate speed" – he had spent the intervening period agonizing and drafting and redrafting. By agreement, I sat by his side when he delivered it; but I was wholly unprepared for what he had to say. It was, quite simply, the most devastating speech I, or I suspect anyone else in the House that afternoon, had heard uttered in the House of Commons... It was all the more powerful because it was Geoffrey, that most moderate, long-suffering and patient of men, who was uttering it.
 * Nigel Lawson, The View from No. 11: Memoirs of a Tory Radical (1992), p. 1000

 * Geoffrey Howe from this point on would be remembered not for his staunchness as Chancellor, nor for his skilful diplomacy as Foreign Secretary, but for this final act of bile and treachery. The very brilliance with which he wielded the dagger ensured that the character he assassinated was in the end his own.
 * Margaret Thatcher, The Downing Street Years (1993), p. 840

Michelangelo

Raphael

Dialogue

 * Donatello: [skateboards in the sewers, and then stops to sit down next to Michelangelo] How ya doin'?
 * Michelangelo: Fine.
 * Donnie: Nice night.
 * Mikey: Mmhmm. Pizza dude's got 30 seconds.
 * Donnie: Mm-hmm. [nods] Hey, Mikey, did you ever think about what Splinter said tonight? I mean, about... what it would be like, you know, not havin' him?
 * Mikey: [understandably uncomfortable with answering such a question, he brushes it off] Hmm. Time's up. 3 bucks off. [Donnie shakes his head in frustration]

 * Pizza delivery guy: [pulls up on his scooter outside an apartment building] Okay. [removes pizza from a pouch on the back of the scooter and whistles] Now, 122. [looks closer at the address of the order] 122 1/8? [looks around for the address] 122...1/8. [annoyed because he can't find it] Terrific. Where the heck is 122 1/8?
 * Mikey: [from the sewer grate on the street, which surprises the pizza delivery guy] You're standin' on it, dude. [pokes a ten dollar bill up through the grate] Just slip it down here.
 * Pizza delivery guy: [warily slides the pizza down through the grate while simultaneously taking the money] Gimme that! [starts back to his scooter before noticing the amount of money he was given and turning back toward the grate] Hey, this is a $10. The tab's $13.
 * Mikey: You're two minutes late, dude!
 * Pizza delivery guy: [kneels down upon the grate] Aw, come on, I couldn't find the place!
 * Mikey: Wise man say "Forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza."
 * Pizza delivery guy: [stands upon realizing how weird the situation is and heads back to his scooter, muttering] I gotta get a new route. And I thought I delivered everywhere.

 * Mikey: Yes, friends, the new Turbo Ginsu! Wa-hoo! [tosses the pizza while Leonardo slices it] It dices, it slices, and yet makes French fries in three different- [a pizza slice lands on Splinter's head] WHOOPS!
 * Splinter: [annoyed] Mmm, kids.

 * Casey Jones: New game, round-head: [pulls out a cricket bat] Cricket.
 * Raphael: Cricket?! Nobody understands cricket. You gotta know what a crumpet is to understand cricket.
 * Casey: I'll teach you! [swings and hits Raphael into a trash can] See? 6 Runs.
 * Raph: [struggles to get out]
 * Casey: [running] So long, freak! I've got work to do!
 * Raph: [finally free of the can and furious] FREAK?! FREAK?!?
 * [Casey leaps over wall and runs while Raph gives chase before he rolls over the hood of a taxi cab]
 * Passenger (Josh Pais): What the heck was that?!
 * Cab driver: Looked like sort of a big turtle in a trenchcoat. [passenger is silent] You're going to LaGuardia, right?
 * Raph: [still chasing Casey] Come back here! I'm not finished with you! [screams angrily] DAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!!

 * Raphael: [tries sneaking in late after his encounter with Casey]
 * Splinter: [lights a match, revealing he's been waiting for Raph to return home] Raphael? [Raph sighs] Come sit by me.
 * Raph: [stressed] Couldn't this wait 'til morning?
 * Splinter: [firmly] You will listen now. [Raph relents and joins him] My Master Yoshi's first rule was "possess the right thinking." Only then can one receive the gifts of strength, knowledge, and peace. I have tried to channel your anger, Raphael, but more remains. Anger clouds the mind. Turned inward, it is an unconquerable enemy. [Raph listens in silence as Splinter continues] You are unique among your brothers, for you choose to face this enemy alone. But as you face it, do not forget them. And do not forget me. [reaches to touch Raph's head, causing Raph to weep] I am here, my son.

 * Chief Sterns: We are presently executing a plan of redeployment that will minimize response time while maximizing coordination between patrol units in a decentralized networking scheme.
 * April: [confused] Huh. I'm not sure I understood all of that, Chief Sterns. Would you mind repeating it, in English, perhaps?

 * [April is called into Sterns' office]
 * Chief Sterns: O'Neil! Get in here!
 * April: [sighs; to the technician] Time me.
 * Sterns: [tired of her investigation] Just what is it that you hope to accomplish out there, besides busting my chops?!
 * April: I think you know just as much as I do about this Foot Clan, and I don't think you're doing anything about it.
 * Sterns: [getting increasingly agitated] You expect me to waste precious manpower because a few immigrants are reminded of something that supposedly happened years ago in Japan?!
 * April: [sarcastically] Have you got something else?
 * Sterns: [angrily] Are you tryin' to tell me how to [screams] DO MY JOB?!?!
 * [April runs out of Sterns' office in fright as the door slams shut behind her]
 * Technician: 1:07, a new record.

 * April: [races down into the subway only to discover she just missed her train; scoffs in annoyance] Great, just great. [proceeds to wait for the next train, but senses she's not alone. She turns and gasps, seeing a small group of Foot Clan ninjas there]
 * Foot Clan Ninja #1: We've been waiting for you, Ms. O'Neil.
 * April: [trying to act brave] What? Am I behind on my Sony payments again? [laughs nervously]
 * Foot Clan Ninja #1: Your mouth may yet bring you much trouble, Ms. O'Neil. I deliver a message. [he extends his hand as if to give her something, only to slap her on the cheek] Shut it.

 * Le: [To Raphael; upon seeing that he has brought an unconscious April O'Neil back to their sewer den] Are you crazy?
 * Raph: [sarcastically] Yeah, Leo, I'm crazy, okay?! A loony, okay?!
 * Donnie: Why?
 * Raph: [still sarcastically] "Why"?! Why, oh, I don't know, 'cause I wanted to redecorate! You know, a couple throw pillows, a TV news reporter, whaddya think?! [Leo grunts]
 * Splinter: [walks into the common area to discover the cause of all the commotion] Raphael, what are you doing?!
 * Raph: [nervously; trying to stay out of trouble] She got jumped in the subway, I had to bring her here.
 * Donatello: It's the news lady.
 * Michelangelo: [hopefully] Can we keep her?
 * Splinter: [reluctantly; to the Turtles] Bring water, cold washcloth, pillow.

 * Splinter: For 15 years now, we have lived here. Before that time, I was a pet of my Master Yoshi, mimicking his movements from my cage and learning the secret art of Ninja. When we were forced to come to New York, I found myself, for the first time, without a home, wandering the sewers, scavenging for whatever I could find. And then, one day, I came upon a shattered glass jar and four baby turtles.
 * Mikey: That was us.
 * Raph: [annoyed] Shut up.
 * Donnie: [annoyed] Ohhh, no.
 * Splinter: The little ones were crawling into a strange, glowing ooze from a broken canister nearby. I gathered them up in an old coffee can, and when I awoke the next morning, I received a shock, for they had doubled in size. I, too, was growing, particularly in intellect, and I was amazed at how intelligent they seemed, but nothing could have prepared me for what happened next - 1 of them spoke.
 * Baby turtle in flashback: Pizza. Pizza!
 * Splinter: More words followed, and I began their training, teaching them all that I had learned from my master.
 * Baby turtle in flashback: Radical, radical, radical, radical...
 * Splinter: And soon, I gave them all names - Leonardo, Michelangelo...
 * Mikey: That’s me.
 * Splinter: ...Donatello and Raphael.

 * April: [after the Turtles have escorted her home] I'd like to invite you all in, but really I don't have anything to offer you guys, except for, uh, frozen pizza.
 * Mikey: [excitedly hops up out of the manhole] Let's go for it!
 * Donnie: [pops his head up out of the manhole mere moments after Mikey] You said the magic word.
 * April: [stunned] You guys eat pizza?
 * Mikey and Donnie: [simultaneously] Doesn't everybody?

 * April: Will I ever see you guys again?
 * Mikey: Indubitably!
 * Leonardo: Well, that depends on how fast you stock your pizza.

 * Leo: Ha-ha! No doubt about it. She loved us!
 * Mikey: It was the impressions, dudes!
 * Donnie: You wish.
 * Leo: Hold it!

 * Charles Pennington: [while driving Danny to school] I don't get it, Danny. I make more than enough money to provide for both of us and you're stealing. Why?
 * Danny Pennington: [blandly] I don't know.
 * Charles Pennington: [incredulous] You don't know?! [scoffs] What the heck were you doin' with a car stereo anyway? [sarcastically] Or, uh, don't you know that either?
 * Danny Pennington: [still blandly] Sorry.
 * Charles Pennington: [completely unimpressed] "Sorry"? Not as sorry as you're gonna be after school. [they stop at a red light and Danny runs out of the car and flees into the subway] Danny! Damn it! Danny, come back here!

 * [after Raphael gets a mention from April on the news]
 * Donnie: [teasingly] Hey, look. Nyuk-nyuk. I think he's blushing.
 * Raph: [embarrassed] I am not.
 * Donnie: [thinking Raph is lying; still teasingly] I think he's actually turning red. [Raph angrily chucks a Sai into the floor between Donnie's legs; shocked] Uh, hmm. Maybe not.

 * [Watching an argument starting between Leonardo and Raphael]
 * Mikey: Fight?
 * Donnie: Fight.
 * Mikey: Kitchen?
 * Donnie: Kitchen.
 * Mikey: Yeah.
 * [later, while eating pork rinds]
 * Mikey: [hands him a pork rind] Pork Rind?
 * Donnie: [takes the pork rind] Pork Rind.

 * [two Foot Ninjas are left after Raphael defeats a large number; they look at each other in fright and confusion.]
 * Raphael: I mean, come on, how do you guys expect to beat me? [camera pans as an overwhelming number of Foot Ninjas leap onto the rooftop. Raph realizes he's screwed] Good answer. Good answer.

 * April: Hasn't Raph been gone a long time?
 * Donnie: Nah, he does it all the time. He likes it.
 * [scene cuts to Raph being dragged down some fire escape steps by the Foot.]
 * April: Are you sure?
 * Donnie: Ah, don't worry. He'll probably be back any minute.
 * [An unconscious Raph is thrown through the skylight, landing at Donnie's feet]
 * April: [horrified] Raph! Is he--?!
 * Leonardo: [checking Raph's pulse; trying to stay calm] No, he's alive, barely.
 * April: [softly] Oh, God.

 * Leo: [about Casey] Who the heck is that?
 * Mikey: Wayne Gretzky? On steroids?

 * April: What did you do, did you take classes in insensitivity?!
 * Casey: Hey, I was just trying to break it to you easy.
 * April: Oh! Well, you failed miserably!
 * Casey: Hey, Broadzilla, you wouldn't even be standing here if it weren't for me, OK?
 * April: And what do you want, do you want a 'thank you'?
 * Casey: No, it's me who should thank you for that privilege, right?
 * April: Fine!
 * Casey: Yeah.
 * April: Thank you.
 * Casey: No, thank you!
 * April: You're welcome!
 * Casey: You're welcome! [they each march to their separate rooms slamming the doors behind them]
 * Donnie: Gosh, it's kind of like Moonlighting, isn't it?

 * Casey: [as he and Donnie work to fix up an old truck] Not even close, Zip Neck. Professor and Mary Ann. Happily ever after.
 * Donnie: Heh! No way, Atomic Mouth. Gilligan was her main man. They'd be married and have 6 kids by now.
 * Casey: Aw, man, Gilligan was a geek, Barfaroni!
 * Donnie: You're the geek, Camel Breath.
 * Casey: Dome Head.
 * Donnie: [gasps and self-consciously rubs his bald head] Elf Lips!
 * Casey: [finishes fixing the engine] Let's give this a try. See if this transplant worked, Funkoid.
 * Donnie: All right, here goes. [about the insult game] What are we on?
 * Casey: Uh, G.
 * Donnie: Here goes, Gack Face!
 * Casey: I'm ready, Hose Brain!

 * Tatsu: [to Shredder on the Foot's growing influence over the city] Your empire flourishes, Master Shredder.
 * Foot Ninja in background: Oh, no, no, no, that's a stereo.
 * Shredder: [inquiring updates on Splinter's interrogation] What more from the rat?
 * Tatsu: Nothing. He will not speak.
 * Shredder: [regarding Danny's whereabouts] And the boy who led us to the Turtles?
 * Tatsu: He is still missing. [wondering why Shredder's so troubled by the Turtles] I do not understand. Why do the Turtles trouble you, Master? They have not been seen for many days.
 * Shredder: Something... about the way you described their fighting. Something familiar. Something... [pauses, realizing that Splinter and the Turtles might have some connection to Hamato Yoshi] ...from the past.

 * Donnie: [upon noticing how uncomfortable Casey seems in their underground lair] You're a claustrophobic! [chuckles]
 * Casey: [thinking Donnie is making a rude gay joke; warningly] Do you want a fist in the mouth?
 * Donnie: [shakes his head "no"] Mmm-mmm.
 * Casey: I've never even looked at another guy before.

 * Mikey: [yawns] Oh, man, I could go for a little deep dish action right about now.
 * Danny: I had some pizza down here the other day. There might be some left over. [Donnie notices the pizza box]
 * Mikey: [runs over to the table as April laughs. Donnie takes a look inside the box, but quickly closes it] Well?
 * Donnie: Question.
 * Mikey: [growing impatient] Ugh. Yeah?
 * Donnie: Do you like penicillin on your pizza? [shows Mikey that the pizza has developed mold on it]
 * Mikey: D'oh! [he and Donnie start humming "Taps"]

 * [while fighting the Foot]
 * Mikey: Hey, Donnie, looks like this one is suffering from shell shock.
 * Donnie: Too derivative.
 * Mikey: Well, I guess we can really shell it out.
 * Donnie: Too cliché.
 * Mikey: Well, it was a shell of a good hit!
 * Donnie: I like it! [to next opponent] Step up!

 * Leo: [Shredder shows up] Does anybody have any idea about who or what this is?
 * Mikey: I don't know, but I'll bet that it never has to look for a can opener. [Donnie chortles]
 * Shredder: You fight well... in the old style. But you've caused me enough trouble. Now you face... the Shredder.
 * Donnie: "The Shredder"?
 * Mikey: [nervously] Uhh, maybe all that hardware's for making coleslaw.

 * Raph: Where's Splinter?
 * Shredder: [realizes what Raph means] Ah, the rat? So it has a name? [thinking that Splinter's dead; sadistically] It HAD a name.
 * Leo: [angrily growls; screams] YOU LIE!
 * Shredder: [smirks] Do I?
 * [Leo furiously screams and charges toward Shredder, but Shredder flips Leo, and points his yari to Leo's neck]
 * Shredder: [to Raph, Donnie and Mikey; referring to Leo] He dies. [Raph, Donnie, and Mikey gasp; gestures with his head] Weapons. [Raph, Donnie, and Mikey hesitate] NOW! [Raph, Donnie, and Mikey reluctantly discard their weapons to save Leo.] Fools. [chortles] The three of you might have overpowered me with the loss of but one. Now your fate... WILL BE HIS!!! [holds up his yari and prepares to stab Leo]
 * Raph, Mikey, and Donnie: [alarmed; pleadingly] NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
 * [suddenly, Splinter appears, startling Shredder]
 * Mikey: [relieved] Splinter!
 * [Leo, seeing Shredder in shock, rolls away back to the other Turtles]
 * Splinter: Yes, Oroku Saki, I know who you are. We met many years ago... in the home of my master, Hamato Yoshi!
 * [Shredder removes his mask, revealing the scars underneath from their last encounter, revealing him to be Oroku Saki]
 * Raph: [referring to the Shredder, known as Oroku Saki] It's him.
 * Shredder: [absolutely horrified] You. [angrily] Now I will finish what I began with your EAR! [attempts to joust Splinter, but his yari is caught in a nunchaku chain and he is hanging over the edge of a building]
 * Splinter: Death comes for us all, Oroku Saki, but something much worse comes for you. For when you die, it will be-- [Shredder reaches for the back of his belt, takes out a knife and throws it at Splinter, who dodges and grabs it and, at the same time, releases Shredder, who, while screaming, falls into the garbage truck] --without honor.
 * Casey: [sarcastically] Oops! [activates the trash compactor with Shredder inside]

 * Leo: We were awesome!
 * Mikey: Bodacious! Ha-ha-ha-ha!
 * Raph: Bitchin'!
 * Donnie: Uh... mmm-mmm.
 * Mikey: Gnarly!
 * Leo: Radical!
 * Mikey: Yeah!
 * Raph: Totally tubular, dudes!
 * Mikey: Wicked!
 * Raph: Hellacious!
 * Donnie: Uh, mega--
 * Splinter: Ahem.
 * The Turtles: Huh?
 * Splinter: I have always liked... "Cowabunga."
 * Turtles: Hmm? COWABUNGA!!
 * Splinter: [laughs] I made a funny! [laughs again]
 * [Leo, Donnie, and Mikey dance in victory while Raph hugs Splinter in relief.]

About Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990 film)

 * There’s no greater feeling than walking onto the set and seeing the costumes in full motion, being worn by an actor. These things weighed 80 pounds, and the way they brought them to life with the technology that Jim Henson created to make them work and be believable…
 * Kevin Eastmen "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Kevin Eastman Interview" William Bibbiani, Crave, (Dec 16th, 2014)

 * When I first heard of it, I thought it was a horror film. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ is such a strange name.
 * Judith Hoag Original 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Actress: 'I thought it was a horror film' David Wangberg, Inquisitr, August 9, 2014.

 * The animatronic Turtle suits created by Jim Henson's crew for the first TMNT movie were, quite simply, wonderful. I remember being blown away by how beautiful they were and how much the performers and puppeteers were able to get out of these clever and carefully-crafted agglomerations of latex, paint, leather and various fabrics.
 * Peter Liard, "Donatello stunt costume", Peter Liards TMNT blog Monday, June 16, 2008.

 * Q: Being a martial artist and having to work with Donny’s head on and being unable to see fully–does that hinder your natural movement? Did it do anything to your hand-eye coordination?
 * A: You just had to rely on feel and not be so focused on what you were seeing. You had to rely on the feel of where your body would normally be. It was really difficult work. Plus, we were shooting down in North Carolina in the summer and there was 100% humidity all the time. It was tough. But we were also having a great time. It was one of the first times that Hong Kong stuntmen had come to work on an American production. I mean, these were guys that worked with Jackie Chan.

 * Tokka: [he and Rahzar look in confusion, until.... ] Mama?

 * Leonardo: Hey, guys, huddle. Mikey, you go up the middle. You guys get the sides. Get it?
 * Donny: Got it.
 * Raphael: Good.
 * Mikey: Uhh, I don't get it.

 * [The 3 Turtles infiltrate the Shredder's junkyard.]
 * Donnie: The perimeter's quiet.
 * Leo: Yeah, a little too quiet.
 * Mikey: Come on.
 * [The Turtles sneak forward; Donatello takes out two sentries solo]
 * Donnie: Well, that was easy.
 * Leo: Yeah, a little too easy.
 * [They see Raphael tied to a post]
 * Donnie: Look, it's Raph!
 * Mikey: Yeah, a little too Raph.

 * Leo: [on Tokka or Rahzar] You take the ugly one!
 * Raph: [on Tokka or Rahzar] No, YOU take the ugly one!
 * Donnie: [on Tokka or Rahzar] I'll take the ugly one!
 * Mikey: [on Tokka or Rahzar] But which one's the ugly one?!

 * Keno: So, basically, what you're saying is that you guys were all slimed.
 * Raph: It wasn't slime, it was ooze. And there's more of it out there.
 * Keno: Where?
 * Donnie: Well, we're not sure. There's this clan of ninja thieves. A really secret group that call themselves--
 * Keno: The Foot?!
 * Donnie: Huh? You've heard of them?
 * Keno: Yeah. Well the word is out on the street that these guys are looking for anybody they can find with martial arts talent, especially teenagers.

 * Mikey: Primo workout, dudes!
 * Leo: Yeah!
 * Raph: We showed those guys, huh?
 * Leo: Muy primo, bros!
 * Donnie: Turtle-riffic!
 * Raph: Max-amundo!
 * Donnie: A cappella!
 * Others: Huh?
 * Donnie: Perestroika?
 * [Others moan]
 * Donnie: OK, I got it. "Frere Jacques". [starts singing "Frere Jacques" by himself]
 * Mikey: Donny, give it up.

 * April O'Neil: Where's Splinter?
 * Leo: He's been on the roof ever since he saw your report.
 * April: Really? Doing what?
 * Splinter: Coming.... [gasps; all turn and see Splinter has appeared in the window] .... to a decision near you.

 * Shredder: [about Tokka and Rahzar] They are stupid!
 * Dr. Jordan Perry: They're not stupid, they're infants!
 * [Rahzar hits Tokka on the head with a bar]
 * Jordan Perry: OK, so they're stupid infants.

 * April: [picks up phone] Donnie?
 * Donnie: April.
 * April: Where are you guys? Did you find yourselves a new place to live yet?
 * Donnie: Uh, yeah. It's not much right now, but we'll bring you down. We've only had time to get Splinter and pick up a few essentials.
 * Mikey: [holds up bags of potato chips] Yeah, the bare essentials.
 * Donnie: The reason while we're calling is that.... have you seen Raphael by any chance?
 * April: Raphael?
 * Donnie: Yeah, did he stop by or anything?
 * April: No. Why, is he missing?
 * Leo: You know, there is still a little more stuff to help with, Michaelangelo!
 * Mikey: Hey! I'm helping Donnie! [he tries to pry the phone from him] Gimme the phone!
 * Donnie: NO!! [kicks Mikey to the ground] So, you haven't seen him at all, then, huh?
 * Leo: Well, if she does, [loudly audible over the phone; April winces] tell him thanks for wasting our time because, instead of going out looking for the Foot and the ooze like we should, we gotta go out and look for him instead! [angrily slams a box down.... onto Donnie’s foot]
 * Donnie: Owww!
 * April: What was that?
 * Donnie: [still in pain] Leo says hi!
 * Mikey: Gimme the phone! Gimme the phone, will ya?
 * Donnie: Oh, all right, all right, already, here, take it, will ya?! Sheesh!
 * Mikey: April, it's Mikey, I'd just like to say HELLO-OO-OO-OO! Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah--
 * Donnie: WOULD YOU GIVE ME THAT?! [April laughs as they start arguing again]

 * Donnie: Are you sure this is gonna work, Professor?
 * Dr. Jordan Perry: When I contaminated the Ooze to make Rahzar and Tokka intellectually inferior, I had no idea I would be preparing an anti-mutagen.
 * Donnie: [to his brothers] He doesn't know.

 * [looking in construction site for the Foot]
 * Donnie: Pretty quiet.
 * Raph: [screams] SHREDDER!!!!
 * Donnie: Gee, thanks, Raph! I may never have the hiccups again!

 * Vanilla Ice: [Singing] Look out dudes; it's the Green Machine: gonna rock the town without bein' seen…

 * Leo: Shredder, you got to listen for a reason. You are gonna destroy us all!
 * Super Shredder: [roars, then lifts up Leonardo] THEN, SO BE IT!!

About Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze

 * The film’s sequel, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ll – The Secret Of The Ooze, arrived at the BBFC in April 1991 with a PG request. The BBFC Examiners acknowledged that this was a much milder film than its predecessor, and one report notes that "most of the violence-level here is ‘U’ rather than ‘PG’, though quantitatively there is enough to justify the PG requested by the company – just!" However, BBFC Examiners also realised there was potentially a problem with some of the violence, in particular the use of improvised props resembling chainsticks or nunchaku: "In the credits sequence in Reel 1, chainsticks are wielded (or seem to be) after a shot of sausages hanging from the butcher’s rail. Since there is real confusion between chainsticks and sausages this sequence needs to be carefully checked before cuts (if any) are listed. Ditto a sequence in Reel 2, where April tries out a pair of chainsticks; could they be sausages? If so, we would look pretty foolish (right Charlies, in fact) if we cut them!" Another report states the then BBFC policy to remove these weapons, but warned that pragmatically it might be unwise to remove sausages used to resemble the weapon. After contacting the distributor, the BBFC was reassured that all the sequences ‘involved sausages not sticks’. However, BBFC Director James Ferman thought there was still potential for the sequence to showcase chainsticks-type weapons, and the sausages would look like these weapons ‘to any streetwise 8 year old’. The cuts list therefore included the following request to minimise any glamorisation of easily accessible weapons: "After turtle takes down sausages and uses them as a flail. Reduce to minimum dazzling display of swinging sausages indistinguishable from chainsticks" The Examiner reports for the video release include some criticism of the decision, with one report noting that "the sausage/chainstick confusion makes his [Ferman’s] cuts list a tiny bit ludicrous to read".

Raising Shell In 2007

Donatello

 * No, I'm not playing hard to get, I'm telling you sir, it's not that kind of phone line!
 * Did you turn it on? Did you plug it in? Yeah, that would help.
 * [sighs] I'm not your enemy, I'm just Donnie, your friendly IT tech support ready to serve you sir. [fixes himself] Sorry, ma'am.

Raphael / Nightwatcher

 * Hey, Leo's back. Better go say "Hello" before he leaves again.
 * Y'know, the thing about you immortal stone guys, is you're immortal... And made of stone. I sound like Mikey!
 * [last lines of the film, narrating] We live together, we train together, we fight together, we stand for good together. We are ninjas. We strike hard, defend, protect, and fade into the night. And there ain't no bad guy or monster ever gonna change that, that's what's important, and that's why we'll always be... brothers. Oh, I love bein' a turtle!
 * [to Leo] Okay, Jungle Boy, grab a vine.
 * (to criminal) I'm not gonna hurt ya... much.

Michelangelo / Cowabunga Carl

 * Hey, I've been training - Since you left, my video game scores have, like, doubled.
 * Why skate a half pipe, when you can skate a sewer pipe?!
 * [Big entrance into Lair] HERE'S MIKEY! [Pause]...Guys? Anyone? Hello? Aw, this place used to be fun...
 * So it's like Halley's Comet only... monsters come out.
 * [fighting Bigfoot, gets backed up next to a pit full of spikes] This is why we need jetpacks...
 * [While skateboarding] Hehe, I'm smart. [Crashes(both in the trash bin in the trailer and on the half pipe in the actual film)] I'm Okay.
 * Okay... did we win now?
 * Happy birthday from Cowabunga Carl!
 * The turtles are back, dudes. I give us a 10 for style, an 8 for skill and- ah... a 2 for stealth. (Which is... a total of 20…?)[Looking at a destroyed construction site that the turtles fought on]
 * 'Jungle Boy' he-he, good one!

Leonardo

 * Come to Daddy. [After strapping the entirety of a display of ancient swords to his back]
 * [Arguing with Raphael] Look, Raph, if there's something you wanna get off your shell, now's the time but I'm not gonna stand here and debate Splinter's direct orders with you!
 * I mean, come on! What were you thinking?!

Casey Jones

 * [Holding a door closed while one of the Generals tries to push through on the other side.] And I thought girl scouts were pushy!
 * Two minutes for high sticking!
 * [Raphael: What, you never heard of smoke pellets?] Warn me next time. [coughs] I got allergies.

Others

 * Max Winters: I must've hit my head pretty hard. I'm seeing giant turtles.
 * Splinter: [After kicking a monster back into the portal] I still got it!
 * Splinter: If anyone needs me, I'll be watching my stories. Cody is going to break up with Donna. I just know it.

Dialogue

 * Village Boy: [quietly] The Ghost of the Jungle. [sometime later; to April O'Neil; pointing at a tree] There. That's where I saw him.
 * April O'Neil: Thank you. You'd better get home now.
 * Village Boy: Do you know the Ghost?
 * April: [looks back smiling] He wasn't always a ghost.

 * Reporter: And with rocketing interest rates, that's bad news for homeowners as the real estate market continues its downward spiral. Coming up, the vigilante known as Nightwatcher strikes again.
 * Man: Ooh, now, I can't say for sure, but he was definitely an alien.
 * Woman: [angrily; in bitter disgust] I think it's a disgrace, taking the law into your own hands like that. Leave it to the police!
 * Michelangelo: [about the police; remembering the old days] I remember how that used to feel, busting up crime syndicates. Sure, they had a bunch of guns, but they weren't like these guns. [flexes his muscles]
 * Donatello: [sighs; unamused] Why do you do this to yourself, Mikey? Those glory days are over. Forget about 'em. Get on with your life. Concentrate on your work.
 * Raphael: [waking up; sarcastically] Yeah, yeah, spoken like a true has-been.
 * Donnie: [also sarcastically] Well, look who woke up. [seriously; sick and tired of Raph's laziness] I suppose you think the Nightwatcher's some kind of hero.
 * Raph: [jumps down] Beats sitting around doing nothing while dirtbags run free. [crushes a soda can with his bare fist]
 * Donnie: I would love to know what it is that you do that's so great. At least we're contributing around here, all you do is sleep all day.
 * Raph: [scoffs; disrespectfully] Yeah. I do nothing. You're right. [points an accusing finger at Donnie] You got me all figured out.
 * Donnie: [losing his patience] Well, I know that your rogue attitude has always been a source of contention to this team. You think fear is the best way to accomplish things, [raising his voice] but you're wrong!
 * Raph: First of all, this "team" you speak of doesn't exist anymore. And second of all... [almost punches Donnie, who flinches]
 * Splinter: [offscreen] Raphael. [appears] Enough.
 * Raph: [smugly] Heh, I think I made my point.
 * Donnie: [defensively] That doesn't prove anything. [Raph leaves the room; to Splinter; under his breath, bitterly] Why couldn't you send him away for training?
 * Splinter: Donatello, this home has become like an empty shell. Each of your brothers has strengths and weaknesses. You must learn to be strong when they are weak. If you don't learn to recognize this, then all hope is lost for our family.

 * Apri: Where are you, Casey? [speed dials Casey] Come on. Come on, pick up. [annoyed] Don't do this to me again, not now.
 * Casey Jones: [on answering machine] Casey can't come to the phone right now, because...we're hardly working. [picks up phone] Uhh. This better be good.
 * April: Casey, I'm standing on the docks with a priceless statue and no delivery truck. So my question is, Where are you?
 * Casey: April! Hey, babe! I'm so sorry, I set the alarm clock, but-- But-- [quickly looks around, and picks up the alarm clock and puts it on the floor and crushes it as the alarm beeps] It-it's broken, the clock. [bashes it on the coffee table, which causes the batteries to fly out, finally stopping it.]
 * April: It's bad enough that you're out every night playing vigilante, but we've got a deadline to meet.
 * Casey: I'm sorry. Oh, wait, babe, real quick. You left a message saying you found Leo. I mean, is he there with you?
 * April: No. I found him. He's not coming back.
 * Casey: But-- But didn't you tell him how weird things have gotten with the Turtles?
 * April: Look, Casey, we're gonna lose the biggest client we have if you don't get down here.
 * Casey: All right. I'm on my way.

 * Thief: [exiting store, pointing gun at store clerks] …and you keep them up, got that? And don't let me catch you calling the cops. [gets yanked up by Nightwatcher] What? Not again. [gets thrown at the wall by Nightwatcher]
 * Nightwatcher: Didn't I take care of you last week?
 * Thief: [worried] Hey. No, n-no. Come on, now.
 * Nightwatcher: [picks up thief] I'm very disappointed in you, knucklehead. Guess night school's in session.
 * Casey: [whistles] Hope I'm not disturbing class. Hey, Nightwatcher. Need any teaching assistance?
 * Raphael/Nightwatcher: [to himself] Oh, no. Casey. Yeah, I've got this one covered, pal. [backhands thief] Thanks, but no thanks.
 * Casey: You think you own these rooftops? I happen to think you could use my help. [Raph secretly summons his ball and chain] And I could use a sidekick. You may have everyone else fooled, but you haven't fooled me, Raph.
 * Raphael/Nightwatcher: [takes Casey's bat with the ball and chain] Yeah, well, guess what, pal. Now… Hey, wait a minute. [groans] How'd you know it was me?
 * Casey: Wasn't that hard, man. You know, you look like a big, metal turtle.
 * Raphael: [removes his helmet] Eh. It's that obvious, huh?
 * Thief: [trying to run away] I should've stayed in law school.
 * Casey: Aww, ain't that cute? He's trying to get away. [looks at Raphael who smiles at Casey Jones] Well, looks like I got a sidekick.
 * Raphael/Nightwatcher: Yeah, right. You're the sidekick.

 * Raph: Well, [yawns] I'm going to bed. Hey, Leo's back. [pushes book off of Don's face] Better go say "hello" before he leaves again.
 * Donnie: What? [happily] Leo!
 * Leo: [happily] Hey!
 * Donnie: [he and Leonardo hug] Hey!
 * Mikey: [sees Leo; surprised] Huh, Leo? [falls over; happily] Is that really you?
 * Leo: Yeah.
 * Mikey: [gives Leo a hug.] I'm, like, dreaming, aren't I?
 * Leo: No, Mikey. You're not dreaming.
 * Mikey: Oh, good. I have nightmares about birthday parties. [hugs Leo tightly]
 * [scene fades to the Turtles on top of a building]
 * Raph: Okay, Leo, I'll bite. What are we doing up here?
 * Leo: I told Splinter I'd get this team in shape again.
 * Mikey: Hey, I've been training. Since you left, my video game scores have, like, doubled.
 * Leo: [smirks; amused] Right. And while you've been playing games, little brother, [seriously] this Nightwatcher character's come into the neighborhood like some kind of vigilante showboat, but his days are done.
 * Raph: Hey, you went AWOL, Leo. And the Nightwatcher was the only guy to pick up the slack. [coldly] Crime never took a break. You did.
 * Mikey: [about the Nightwatcher] I heard his bike turns into a plane, or like, a jetpack. Hey, Don, you're so smart. Why don't we have jetpacks?
 * Donnie: Yeah, that's good, Mikey. I don't even trust you with a driver's license. Have you seen the way this guy behaves--?
 * [the Turtles are interrupted by a roar coming from a construction site]
 * Mikey: Whoa. [he and the Turtles run to see the construction site] Ho-ho, someone's cranky.
 * [a monster roars in the construction site]
 * Raph: Okay, Jungle Boy, grab a vine. [dashes to investigate]
 * Leo: [warningly] Raph, wait. Splinter told us not to fight.
 * Mikey: [chuckles] "Jungle Boy." Good one.
 * Leo: [groans in annoyance] Alright, but remember, we're only up here for training.
 * Mikey: Y'know what I always say, "Train by doing, dude."
 * Donnie: Mikey, when have you ever said that?

 * Mikey: This is why we need jetpacks.
 * Donnie: [worried] Okay, any more bright ideas?
 * Mikey: How about this? [he and Donnie look at each other, and they both screams in terror while Mikey jumps into Donnie's arms, Scooby-Doo-style; piece of scaffolding falls on top of the Turtles]
 * Donnie: When this is over, I'm totally calling the architect.

 * Mikey: [dazed] Dudes, did anyone get the license plate of that thing that hit us last night? Oy, my head...
 * Donnie: Okay, th-that was just weird. I mean, first the Foot, then that hideous monster--
 * Mikey: Yeah. It looked like your mom, dude! [laughs]
 * Donnie: [not amused in the slightest] Yeah, that would make her your mom too, doofus.
 * Mikey: [stops laughing; offended] Yeah, whatever.
 * Raph: Keep laughin', Mikey. Last night was an embarrassment. [slams his fist on the table]
 * Leo: I'll tell you what's embarrassing: You can't even follow a single order.
 * Raph: [sarcastically] Oh-ho-ho-ho, how cute. [seriously] You've been back for 5 minutes, and now you're schoolin' us on your master plan?
 * Leo: [scoffs; incredulously; not liking the attitude] Oh, oh, okay, so this is my fault now, huh, Raph? [raising his voice] I'm the only one that has to be responsible?!
 * Raph: Hey, you're the "trained master", not me.
 * Mikey: [whispering; worried] Dudes, can it, here comes Splinter. [quickly drops his breakfast pizza slice and covers the bandaged spot on his head]
 * Splinter: [walks into the kitchen, singing in Japanese; happily and completely oblivious to the tension] Ooh, good morning, my sons.
 * Leo, Donnie and Mikey: [simultaneously] Good morning, sensei.
 * Raph: 'Sup?
 * Splinter: [continues singing in Japanese] Every Ninja's day should start with a healthy breakfast. [Leo and Raph angrily glare at each other while eating their cereal. Donnie notices but Splinter doesn't] It fills me with pride to see you boys together again. If anyone needs me, I'll be watching my stories.
 * Leo: [to Raph] Hothead.
 * Raph: [to Leo] Splinter Jr.
 * [Splinter prepares to watch The Gilmore Girls.]
 * Splinter: [excitedly] Cody is going to break up with Donna. I just know it. [turns on the TV and sits down]
 * Announcer: We interrupt The Gilmore Girls for this special news report.
 * News Reporter: Monsters loose in the city? Strange reports are coming in tonight about a construction site incident that sounds like something out of science fiction.
 * Splinter: [angrily] BOYS?! [cut to the Turtles kneeling in front of Splinter] Leonardo, I am most disappointed in you. You are the eldest of your brothers. I was counting on you to bring order to the chaos of this family. This is why I have forbidden any surface activity. We cannot return to the surface to fight evil if we continue to fight each other.
 * Leo: But, Master Splinter, how can I be expected to do so when Raph--?
 * Splinter: [sternly; not in the mood for the blame game] There are NO EXCUSES when you are the leader, my student!
 * [Leo sighs in defeat and shame.]
 * Raph: We have to go out and find who's responsible for this. There ain't no other solution.
 * Leo: [sighs; having had enough of violence] Save the brute vigilante junk for that Night Watchman.
 * Raph: [annoyed] Ugh.
 * Mikey, Raph and Donnie: "Night-Watcher".
 * Leo: [under his breath; bitterly] Yeah, whatever.
 * Raph: [stands up to leaves; coldly] I'm going out.

 * April: [happily] Leo, you came back!
 * Casey: [happily] Leo!
 * Leo: Sorry, the reunion isn't under better circumstances.
 * Mikey: [seeing April and Casey's apartment complex] Whoa-ho-ho. Nice pad, kids. [to Raph] Oh, hey, Raph.
 * Donnie: [taking Raph's pulse] Well, his vital signs seem to be okay. [opens Raph's eye] Pupil dilation is normal. [shocked] Whoa. [sees a stone star on Raph's shell]
 * Leo and Mikey: [stunned] Whoa.
 * Donnie: [pulls the stone star out of Raph's shell] Some sort of stone. Probably obsidian, I think.
 * Leo: Well, is he gonna be all right
 * Raph: [waking up; to Leonardo] Eh, you're still here? Go back to your jungle.
 * Leo: Well, at least his personality's still intact.
 * Donnie: And there's an engraving on it, looks... South American. That's your department, April.
 * Casey: [holding a sleeping dart] Would it help things if I told you that those statues you collected for that Winters guy were shooting these things at me and Raph?
 * April: [utterly horrified] "The Legend... of Yaotl"? It can't be. I-I-It was just a myth. A-A scary story the locals told kids around a campfire.
 * Leo: [confused] Whoa, what are you talking about?
 * April: They say... 3,000 years ago, some... great warrior actually found... a portal to another dimension. [camera fades to Yaotl] And when the portal opened, the energy from it gave the warrior eternal life. But it also turned his generals to stone. What if this warrior just kept living forever? He would spend the rest of his days in regret, spending all of his riches and all of his power, trying to find a way to revive his stone generals. Maybe, just maybe, he's built a new empire. [camera pans to Winters' face, and he opens his eyes; fade back to April's apartment] But hey, like I said, it's just a myth.
 * Donnie: [examining the dart] Hmmm. If you ask me, you guys, this has Winters' name written all over it.
 * Leo: How do you figure that, Donnie?
 * Casey and Mikey: Yeah.
 * Donnie: [sarcastically smiling; annoyed] Because this has Winters' name written all over it.
 * Raph: Now I know who to thank for the shot in the arm. [sits down] So where do we find this guy and his stone jokers?
 * Leo: We're not going anywhere until we get Splinter's blessing.
 * Raph: [angrily stands up; shocked that Leo would ask for permission to deal with this new threat] You're gonna stand here and quote a rulebook to me that you ain't been following for a year?!
 * Leo: [not in the mood to argues] Look, Raph, if you got something you wanna get off you're shell, now's the time. [almost yelling] But I'm not gonna stand here and debate Splinter's direct orders with you!
 * Raph: [pauses; softly yet coldly] Fine, then. I quit.
 * Casey: Hey, Raph. Don't do it, man. Sometimes just taking a breather is the best thing to do.
 * Raph: Whatever.

 * Raph: Look at you, ain't you cute? You want a butt kickin' little fella? Yes, you do. You do. Come on, I'm gonna drop-kick you to Hurty Town. Come on, little guy.
 * [Monster attacks Raph, who screams]
 * Big City Rock: ♪ Whoa, Black Betty, Ram-a-lam, yeah, Black Betty, ram-a-lam ♪
 * Raph: Get off of me, you little monster!
 * Big City Rock: ♪ Ram-a-lam, she's always ready, ram-a-lam, she's so rocksteady, ram-a-lam, whoa, Black Betty, ram-a-lam, whoa, Black Betty, ram-a-lam ♪
 * Raph: Ow, you're scratching the helmet! [throws monster in fridge] Okay, that was different. [Monster comes back, attacking him again; to the monster] Hey, this thing ain't rustproof! Get off of me!
 * Big City Rock: ♪ Whoa, Black Betty, ram-a-lam, yeah, Black Betty, ram-a-lam, she really gets me high... ♪
 * [Song stops, just as the fridge falls on the monster; however, the monster bursts out, the same time the song resumes]
 * Big City Rock: ♪ Ram-a-lam, she's so rocksteady ♪
 * Raph: Come on!
 * Big City Rock: ♪ ...yea, Black Betty, ram-a-lam ♪
 * Raph: [whacks monster with cooking pot, and then holds out two pills] How about a snack, little fella? [Monster runs toward Raph as he throws the pills] Catch! [Monster swallows the pills, which explode, causing the monster to, while screaming in pain, run around the restaurant, and jump through dining room window]

 * Leo: [after knocking off the Nightwatcher's helmet off] Good night, dark prince. [sees that the Nightwatcher is Raph; confused] Raph?! [shocked and lost for words] What?!
 * Raph: [mule-kicks Leo; finally releasing his pent-up anger] You are so smug, ya know that? You think that the world revolves around you, don't ya? That we couldn't possibly survive without the [Leo spits blood] mighty and powerful Leonardo to guide us through our problems, huh? Well, I got a news flash for ya: [voice breaking] We got along just fine without you!
 * Leo: [appalled] Oh, and this qualifies as "just fine"? Dressing up like it's Halloween every night? Risking the safety of our family? I mean, come on! What were you thinking?!
 * Raph: Don't push it, Leo. You can't leave home and come back expecting us to fall in line again, like your little soldiers.
 * Leo: Hey, I was training. Training to be a better leader! For you! [grunts in frustration] Why do you hate me for that?!
 * Raph: AND WHOEVER SAID I WANTED TO BE LED?! I'm better off calling my own shots now! Get used to it!
 * Leo: You! Aren't! Ready! You're impatient, and hot-tempered, and more importantly, [venomously] I'm better than you.
 * Raph: [laughs sarcastically; deeply offended] Oh, ya know something, big brother? [serious tone] I'd have to disagree with you on that one. [pulls out his sais and makes a "bring it on" motion with them]
 * Leo: [softly but very sternly; not wanting to hurt Raph] Don't do this, Raph.
 * Raph: [defiantly] I'm done taking orders.

 * General Gato: Not human but clearly not the final monster.
 * General Aguila: Yaotl won't know the difference. By the time our brother discovers this turtle is not the 13th Monster, it will already be too late.
 * [the Foot Clan shoots sleeping darts at Leo, offscreen, and Leo screams in agony]
 * Raph: [shocked] Leo. [the Stone Generals pick up Leo] Leo, hang on! Leo! Leo! [loses sight; screams in anger] NOOOOOOOOOOO!

 * [Leo has been kidnapped; Raphael punches wall and pushes katanas to the floor in anger]
 * Splinter: [to Raphael] Raphael?! What is the matter?
 * Raph: [upset] I was out. I was out, and I did-- I did something. Something happened, and then, I-- And I, I-- [pushes weight set in anger]
 * Splinter: [calmly] Raphael. Kneel.
 * Raph: [kneels] I did something. I did something really stupid, Master Splinter.
 * Splinter: [calmly] Go on.
 * Raph: [regretfully] I know why you chose him now. I know that there's a reason why he's the better son and I'm not.
 * Splinter: Raphael, you always bear the world's problems on your shoulders. It is an admirable quality when you are a protector of others. But you must realize that while, at times, you may not be my favorite student, it does not mean that you are my least-favorite son. You are strong, passionate and loyal, to a fault. These are the merits of a great leader, as well. But only when tempered with compassion and humility.
 * Raph: But, Master Splinter, I messed up big tonight. I mean, big. [shows Leonardo's destroyed katana blades] They took him.
 * [Mikey looks on in concern]
 * Splinter: Leonardo?
 * Raph: Yeah.
 * Splinter: [sighs; deciding to do the right thing] Then the time for hiding is over. We must return to the surface to take back what is ours.
 * Raph: By your wish, Father.

 * Donnie: That would be the swirling vortex to another world, I assume.
 * Mikey: Cool. I want one.

 * Raph: [hands Leo new katana blades to replace the broken ones] You're gonna need these if you're gonna lead us out of here.
 * Leo: [warmly] I'm going to need you too.
 * [Winters screams as the stone Generals throw him across the lobby of the Winterscorp building.]
 * April: Winters?
 * Mikey: Looks more like fall, get it?
 * Donnie: Mikey, remember our talk.

 * General Aguila: You fight well. You should join us.
 * Raph: No, thanks. I'm good.

 * Leo: They better hurry up with the last monster!
 * Raph: I'm sure my man Casey's got it all under control!
 * Leo: Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.
 * [scene switches to April driving the Cowabunga Carl truck]
 * Casey: Can't this piece of junk go any faster?
 * April: You wanna drive?
 * Casey: I would, as a matter of fact.
 * Karai: You would think they would be more concerned about the 13th monster. [Foot Ninja silently nods in agreement.]

 * [Winters has just vaporized, due to the curse being broken. Golden particles fall to the floor.]
 * Mikey: [visibly unnerved] Okay, just a little bit creepy. [sneezes loudly] Oh, gross! I think he's in my n-- my n-- my n-- [sneezes again] Aw, gross. Somebody, give me a hankie! [disgusted groans] Now he's in my mouth. [more disgusted groans] Tastes awful!

<hr width=50%>
 * [last words]
 * Raph: [voiceover] We live together, we train together, we fight together, we stand for good, together. We are Ninjas. We strike hard, defend, protect and fade into the night. And there ain't no bad guy or monster gonna ever change that. That's what's important. And that's why we'll always be...brothers. [flies to the screen, as it cuts to black] Oh, I love bein' a turtle.

About TMNT (film)

 * It looked amazing and was a fun thrill ride. But I think the story was too complicated in the final product. A number of things led to that, from the type of story that Pete [Laird] wanted told, to my way of constructing a film, and to the studios trying to recut it at the last minute and make it a more, I guess, ‘straightforward’ kid film.

Boris Berezovsky

Boris Abramovich Berezovsky ('Бори́с Абра́мович Березо́вский; 23 January 1946 – 23 March 2013) was a Russian-born billionaire. Previously an engineering researcher under the Soviet government, Berezovsky became a vastly successful businessman in the early 1990s and acquired political connections which he used to support Boris Yeltsin. However, after the accession of Vladimir Putin, he feared arrest and emigrated to the United Kingdom in 2001 where he was granted political asylum and became a British citizen.

Quotes

 * If we had not just 10 oligarchs, but more like 1,000, all of Russia's problems would be solved.
 * BBC News (26 March 2003) 'No regrets' for tarnished tycoon

 * I do support direct action. I do not advocate or support violence.… Elections are not a viable means of ensuring democratic change in Russia. Therefore I do support using other methods to push for a change back towards democracy
 * Bloomberg News (13 April 2007) Russia Demands Berezovsky Extradition After Call for Revolution

 * I repent and ask for forgiveness for greed. I longed for riches, not thinking that this is to the detriment of others. Covering my sins with the words "historic moment," "brilliant combinations" and "tremendous opportunities," I forgot about my fellow citizens.… I repent and ask for forgiveness for trampling free speech. Justifying myself with the desire to save Russia from the red-brown plague, I defined the policy of the country's chief information mouthpiece, neglecting democratic values.… I repent and ask for forgiveness for bringing Vladimir Putin to power. I should have seen, but could not see in him the future of a greedy tyrant and usurper, a man who trampled freedom and stopped the development of Russia. Many of us did not recognize it then, but that does not excuse me. I'm sorry.
 * Facebook posting (26 February 2012)

 * There is nothing I want more than to return to Russia.
 * Interview with Forbes (22 March 2013)

Jonathan Safran Foer

Jonathan Safran Foer (born February 21, 1977) is an American fiction writer.

Everything Is Illuminated (2002)

 * I used to think that humor was the only way to appreciate how wonderful and terrible the world is, to celebrate how big life is. But now I think the opposite. Humor is a way of shrinking from that wonderful and terrible world.

 * "I used to tuck her … but now she tucked my feelings into the woven arteries of my veins."

 * But more than that, no unloving words were ever spoken, and everything was held up as another small piece of proof that it can be this way, it doesn't have to be that way; if there is no love in the world, we will make a new world, and we will give it heavy walls, and we will furnish it with soft red interiors, from the inside out, and give it a knocker that resonates like a diamond falling to a jeweler's felt so that we should never hear it. Love me, because love doesn't exist, and I have tried everything that does.

 * Brod’s life was a slow realization that the world was not for her, and that for whatever reason, she would never be happy and honest at the same time. She felt as if she were brimming, always producing and hoarding more love inside her. But there was no release. Table, ivory elephant charm, rainbow, onion, hairdo,mollusk, Shabbos, violence, cuticle, melodrama, ditch, honey, doily … None of it moved her. She addressed her world honestly, searching for something deserving of the volumes of love she knew she had within her, but to each she would have to say, I don’t love you.

 * "You do not have to present not-truths to me, Sasha. I am not a child."(But I do. That is what you always fail to understand. I present not-truths in order to protect you. That is also why I try so inflexibly to be a funny person. Everything is to protect you. I exist in case you need to be protected.)

 * Accepting the compromise of the way we have been, the way we are, and the way we will likely be... may we live together in unwavering love and good health, amen.

 * SADNESSES OF THE COVENANT: Sadness of God's love; Sadness of God's back [sic]; Favorite-child sadness; Sadness of b[ein]g sad in front of one's God; Sadness of the opposite of belief [sic]; What if? Sadness; Sadness of God alone in heaven; Sadness of a God who would need people to pray to Him...

 * So many visitors came to rub and kiss different parts of him for the fulfillment of their various wishes that his entire body had to be rebronzed every month. He was a changing god, destroyed and recreated by his believers, destroyed and recreated by their belief... Those who prayed came to believe less and less in the god of their creation and more and more in their belief.

 * It feels like a moment I've lived a thousand times before, as if everything is familiar, right up to the moment of my death, that it will happen again an infinite number of times, that we will meet, marry, have our children, succeed in the ways we have, fail in the ways we have, all exactly the same, always unable to change a thing. I am again at the bottom of an unstoppable wheel, and when I feel my eyes close for death, as they have and will a thousand times, I awake.

 * She spent the afternoon staring at their front door. "Waiting for someone?" Yankel asked. "What color is this?" He stood very close to the door, letting the end of his nose touch the peephole. He licked the wood and joked, "It certainly tastes like red." "Yes, it is red, isn't it?" "Seems so." She buried her head in her hands. "But couldn’t it be just a bit more red?" (pp. 79-80)

 * My friends are appeased to stay in Odessa for their entire lives. They are appeased to age like their parents, and become parents like their parents. They do not desire anything more than everything they have known.

 * Words never mean what we want them to mean.

 * Every parent who loses a child finds a way to laugh again. The timbre begins to fade. The edge dulls. The hurt lessens. Every love is carved from loss. Mine was. Yours is. Your great-great-great-children's will be. But we learn to live with that love.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2005)

 * I never thought about things at all, everything changed, the distance that wedged itself between me and my happiness wasn't the world, it wasn't the bombs and burning buildings, it was me, my thinking, my cancer of never letting go, is ignorance bliss, I don't know, but it's so painful to think, and tell me, what did thinking ever do for me, to what great place did thinking ever bring me? I think and think and think, I've thought myself out of happiness one million times, but never once into it. (p. 17)

 * "Why do beautiful songs make you sad?" "Because they aren't true." "Never?" "Nothing is beautiful and true." (p. 43)

 * That secret was a hole in the middle of me that every happy thing fell into. (p. 71)

 * I hope you never love anything as much as I love you. (p. 73)

 * In the end, everyone loses everyone. There was no invention to get around that, and so I felt, that night, like the turtle that everything else in the universe was on top of. (p. 74)

 * When I was your age, my grandfather bought me a ruby bracelet. It was too big for me and would slide up and down my arm. It was almost a necklace. He later told me that he had asked the jeweler to make it that way. Its size was supposed to be a symbol of his love. More rubies, more love. But I could not wear it comfortably. I could not wear it at all. So here is the point of everything I have been trying to say. If I were to give a bracelet to you, now, I would measure your wrist twice. (p. 79)

 * Humans are the only animal that blushes, laughs, has religion, wages war, and kisses with lips. So in a way, the more you kiss with lips, the more human you are. (p. 99)

 * Sometimes I can feel my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living. (p. 113)

 * She wants to know if I love her, that's all anyone wants from anyone else, not love itself but the knowledge that love is there, like new batteries in the flashlight in the emergency kit in the hall closet. (p. 130)

 * I felt that night, on the stage, incredibly close to everything in the universe, but also extremely alone. I wondered, for the first time in my life, if life was worth all the work it took to live. What exactly made it worth it? What's so horrible about being dead forever, and not feeling anything, and not even dreaming? What's so great about feeling and dreaming? (p. 145)

 * So many people enter and leave your life! Hundreds of thousands of people! You have to keep the door open so they can come in! But it also means you have to let them go! (p. 153)

 * "Stalin found out about the community and sent his thugs in, just a few days before I got there, to break all of their arms! That was worse than killing them! It was a horrible sight, Oskar: their arms in crude splints, straight in front of them like zombies! They couldn't feed themselves, because they couldn't get their hands to their mouths! So you know what they did!" "They starved?" "They fed each other! That's the difference between heaven and hell! In hell we starve! In heaven we feed each other!" I don't believe in the afterlife." "Neither do I, but I believe in the story."
 * Mr. Black talking with Oskar
 * "Heavier Boots" (p. 142)

 * There is nothing wrong with compromising, even if you are compromising almost everything. (p. 175)

 * Shyness is when you turn your head away from something you want. Shame is when you turn your head away from something you do not want.
 * "My Feelings" (p. 179)

 * I spent my life learning to feel less. Every day I felt less. Is that growing old? Or is it something worse? You can not protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.
 * Oskar's grandmother to his grandfather after she told him of her pregnancy.
 * "My Feelings" (p. 180)

 * She died in my arms saying, "I don't want to die." That is what death is like. It doesn't matter what uniforms the soldiers are wearing. It doesn't matter how good the weapons are. I thought if everyone could see what I saw, we could never have war anymore. (p. 189)

 * "I feel too much. That's what's going on." "Do you think one can feel too much? Or just feel the wrong ways? "My insides don't match up with my outsides." "Do anyone's inside and outsides match up?" "I don't know. I'm only me." "Maybe that's what a person's personality is: the difference between the inside and the outside." "But it's worse for me." "I wonder if everyone thinks it's worse for him." "Probably. But it really is worse for me."
 * Oskar during a visit to his therapist, Dr. Fein
 * "Happiness, Happiness" (p. 201)

 * It's the tragedy of loving, you can't love anything more than something you miss. (p. 208)

 * I'm so afraid of losing something I love, that I refuse to love anything. (p. 216)

 * Time was passing like a hand waving from a train I wanted to be on. I hope you never think about anything as much as I think about you. (p. 224)

 * It broke my heart into more pieces than my heart was made of, why can't people say what they mean at the time? (p. 279)

 * I wanted to build walls around him, I wanted to separate inside from outside, I wanted to give him an infinitely long blank book and the rest of time. (p. 280)

 * "It's easy to be emotional. You can always make a scene... Highs and lows make you feel that things matter, but they're nothing." "So what's something?" "Being reliable is something. Being good."
 * William Black talking with Oskar
 * "A Simple Solution to an Impossible Problem" (p. 297)

 * The mistakes I've made are dead to me. But I can't take back the things I never did. (p. 309)

 * I said, I want to tell you something She said, you can tell me tomorrow I had never told her how much I loved her. She was my sister. We slept in the same bed. There was never a right time to say it. It was always unnecessary. I thought about waking her. But it was unnecessary. There would be other nights. And how can you say I love you to someone you love? I rolled onto my side and fell asleep next to her. Here is the point of everything I have been trying to tell you, Oskar. It's always necessary. I love you. Grandma.
 * Oskar's grandmother
 * "My Feelings" (p. 314)

 * I put my hand on him. Touching him has always been important to me, it was something I lived for. I never could explain why. Little, nothing touches, my fingers against his shoulder, the outsides of our thighs touching as we squeeled together on the bus. I couldnt explain it, but I needed it. Sometimes I imagined stiching all of our little touches together. How many hundreds of thousands of fingers brushing against each other does it take to make love?

 * There were things I wanted to tell him. But I knew they would hurt him, so I buried them, and let them hurt me. (p. 181)

 * He had a wall of masks from every country he‘d been to, like Armenia and Chile and Ethiopia. It‘s not a horrible world, he told me, but it‘s filled with a lot of horrible people.

 * Ray Black was in prison, so we weren't able to talk to him. I did some research on the internet and found out that he was in prison because he murdered two children after he raped them. There were also pictures of the dead children, and even though I knew it would only hurt me to look at them, I did. I printed them out and put them in *Stuff That Happened To Me*, right after the picture of Jean-Pierre Haigneré, the french astronaut who had to be carried from his spacecraft after returning form the MIR spacestation, because gravity isn't only what makes us fall, it's what makes our muscles strong.

Eating Animals (2009)

 * By the standards of the international human rights community, the typical working conditions in America's slaughterhouses constitute human rights violations.

 * People care about animals. I believe that. They just don't want to know or to pay. A fourth of all chickens have stress fractures. It's wrong. They're packed body to body, and can't escape their waste, and never see the sun. Their nails grow around the bars of their cages. It's wrong. They feel their slaughters. It's wrong, and people know it's wrong. They don't have to be convinced. They just have to act differently. I'm not better than anyone, and I'm not trying to convince people to live by my standards of what's right. I'm trying to convince them to live by their own.

 * Just how destructive does a culinary preference have to be before we decide to eat something else?

 * The responsibility lies with the mentality of the meat industry that treats both animals and "human capital" like machines ... human beings cannot be human (much less humane) under the conditions of a factory farm or slaughterhouse.

 * It's always possible to wake someone from sleep, but no amount of noise will wake someone who is pretending to be asleep.

 * Jesse: Did they tell you that?
 * Angela Walsh: Mom, I'm scared.
 * Ken Walsh: Come here.
 * Cheryl Walsh: Oh, honey. It's all right. Daddy and Jesse are just pretending that's all. I don't think this is something we should discuss here.

Anna Wintour

Dame Anna Wintour, DBE (born 3 November 1949) is a British-American journalist and editor who has been editor-in-chief of the U.S. edition of Vogue since 1988. She is widely believed to be the inspiration for the Miranda Priestly character in the novel and film The Devil Wears Prada.

Quotes

 * You either know fashion or you don't.
 * Reported by childhood friend Vivienne Lasky, quoted by biographer Jerry Oppenheimer in Front Row: The Cool Life and Hot Times of Vogue's Editor In Chief, New York: St. Martin's Press, 2005, p. 51 ISBN 0-3123-231-07

 * If you look at any great fashion photograph out of context, it will tell you just as much about what's going on in the world as a headline in The New York Times.
 * Quoted by Emma Brockes "What lies beneath" The Guardian (May 27, 2006).

 * "[The democratization of luxury] means more people are going to get better fashion. And the more people who can have fashion, the better.
 * Quoted by Dana Thomas in ''Deluxe: How Luxury Lost its Luster, New York: The Penguin Press, 2007, ISBN 978-1-59420-129-5

 * Fashion's not about looking back. It's always about looking forward.
 * In R.J. Cutler's 2009 documentary film The September Issue.

Quotes about Wintour

 * Anna happens to be a friend of mine, a fact which is of absolutely no help in coping with the cold panic that grips me whenever we meet.
 * Barbara Amiel "The 'Devil' I know"; The Daily Telegraph (July 2, 2006;)

 * The notion that Anna would want something done "now" and not "shortly" is accurate.
 * Barbara Amiel on Wintour's reputation for being difficult to work for. "This devil isn't Anna" MacLean's (June 30, 2006)

 * When I was a media reporter, there were many high-profile editors, and God knows they had big egos, but you could still get them on the phone ... Remnick, Carter, Fuller, even Martha Stewart. But Wintour? She just never talked to peons like us ... It was beneath her. And all the while I'm thinking, "Who is this skank?" She plays up this aristocratic, Marie Antoinette "Let them eat cake" routine, but, excuse me, can I get some proof that she holds a title of nobility that goes back to the 13th century? No. All she does is edit a magazine. That's it. So what's with the royalty routine? . . . I mean, for Christ's sake, the woman slept with Bob Marley, one of the most soulful people ever to walk the face of the earth. If that didn't spiritualize her, nothing would ... Wintour will be escorted by eunuchs to a place in hell run entirely by large rats.
 * Peter Braunstein, former fashion media reporter for Women's Wear Daily, in a "personal manifesto" introduced as evidence during his trial for the sexual abuse of a former coworker, as reported by Laura Italiano in "'Devil'ish Plot To Murder Wintour"; New York Post (May 15, 2007).

 * In a sea of women's glossies that purport to be about fashion but publish earnest articles chronicling the author's quest for self-actualization, Vogue stands apart. The voluminous fashion pages are arty, original, and sophisticated, shot by talented photographers like Annie Leibovitz, Irving Penn, and Steven Meisel. Most of us read Vogue not with the intention of buying the wildly expensive clothes, but because doing so educates our eye and hones our taste, similar to the way eating gourmet food refines the palate. This is a pleasure enabled by Wintour's ruthless aesthetic, her refusal to participate in the democratizing tendency of most of her competitors. To deny her that privilege is to deny her readers the privilege of fantasy in the form of beautifully photographed Paris couture
 * Amanda Fortini "Defending Vogue's Evil Genius" Slate (February 10, 2005).

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors is a 1987 film about Freddy Krueger continuing his murdering, but a group of kids, led by Freddie's main opponent in the first film (Nancy Thompson), prepares to fight back.
 * Directed by Chuck Russell. Written by Wes Craven, Frank Darabont, Chuck Russell, and Bruce Wagner.

Freddy's just around the corner...taglines

Freddy Krueger

 * This is it, Jennifer. Your big break in TV. Welcome to prime time, bitch! [slams Jennifer's head into the TV]
 * What's wrong, Joey? Feeling tongue-tied?
 * [seeing Nancy Thompson for the first time in six years] You.

Dialogue

 * Dr. Gordon: l want us to talk about last night. l want us to get our feelings out in the open.
 * Roland: He wasn't strong enough, so he got wasted. That's all.
 * Taryn: That's all? is that what you think?
 * Roland: He couldn't hack it, so he got nailed. Period.
 * Taryn: Yeah. Big, tough badass. How long will you last?
 * Roland: Longer than any of you.
 * Kristen: Just Go ahead and fight. That's what he wants.
 * Will: Who?
 * Jennifer: Who do you think? What does he want?
 * Kristen: [at a group meeting, after Freddy kills Phillip] He's turning us against each other so we will be weak.
 * Roland: Horseshit.
 * Nancy: No, she's right.
 * Dr. Simms: I think We're all missing the point here. Phillip's death was a sleepwalking accident. Nothing more.
 * Will: No. l could see him up there...his face. He was wide awake... all the way down.
 * Dr. Gordon: Then it was suicide. Phillip quit. He gave up.
 * Jennifer: Joey says it wasn't suicide.
 * Dr. Gordon: Listen to me, Joey. Phillip killed himself. That's a cowardly thing. That's an empty thing. He let himself down. He let all of us down.
 * Taryn: lt was murder! Can't you understand that? and that bastard murdered him!
 * Dr. Simms: I'm not going to take any more of this. How much longer are you going to go on blaming your dreams for your own weaknesses?
 * Roland: Lady, how much longer you gonna keep blowing smoke up our ass?
 * Dr. Gordon: That's enough, Kincaid!
 * Dr. Simms: There will be no repeat occurrences of last night's events. From now on your doors will be locked during sleeping hours. We'll start a policy of evening sedation for everybody.
 * Roland: [jumping out of his seat] The fuck you will! Anybody tries drugs on me gets his ass kicked!
 * Dr. Simms: Well, you just bought yourself a night in the quiet room, mister. Now sit down!
 * Roland: Fuck you! You sit down!
 * Dr. Gordon: Easy, Kincaid.
 * Roland: Nobody's putting me to sleep! man! man! Get away! Let me alone! Ain't nobody putting me to sleep! l don't want to go to sleep! l ain't going to sleep!
 * Dr. Simms: Stay in your seats.

 * Kristen: Five, six, grab a crucifix. Seven, eight, better stay up late. Nine, ten, never... never...
 * Nancy: [appearing at the doorway] Never sleep again. Where did you learn that rhyme?

 * Nancy: [referring to the model house that Kristen built herself] I used to live in this house.
 * Kristen: That's just a house I dream about.

 * Kristen: [talking about Freddy] The man in my dreams, he's real, isn't he?
 * Nancy: He's real.

 * Nancy: [at a group meeting] I know who's trying to kill you.
 * Kincaid: Save it lady. We're not in the mood.
 * Nancy: He wears a dirty brown hat. He's horribly burned. He has razors on his right hand.
 * Taryn: Wh-who is he?
 * Nancy: His name is Freddy Krueger. He was a child murderer when he was alive. After he died, he became something much, much worse. Six years ago, he killed my friends. He almost killed me. And now he's back.
 * Will: But why is he after us?
 * Taryn: Yeah, what did we do?
 * Nancy: It's not you. It's your parents, my parents. They burned him alive, and now we're paying for their sins. You are the last of the Elm Street children.
 * Will: Mom and Dad? That's crazy, they never mentioned anything like that.
 * Taryn: [sarcastically] Oh, yeah, that's just the kind of thing your parents want to let you know. "Good night darling. Say your prayers. Oh, by the way, your dad and I just torched some maniac last night."

 * Nancy: It's now or never. I'm not gonna kid you, this is as dangerous as it gets. If you die in this dream it's for real. Nobody has to go in that doesn't want to.
 * Will: I'm in.
 * Taryn: Me, too.
 * Roland: Let's go kick the motherfucker's ass all over dreamland.

 * Will: [in his dream] In the name of Lowrek, Prince of Elves, demon begone!
 * [Will zaps at Krueger with magical beams while running toward him]
 * Freddy: Aah!
 * [Freddy grabs Will, stopping the zapping]
 * Freddy: Sorry, kid. I don't believe in fairy tales. [stabs Will in the heart]

 * Nancy: He's strong; he's never been this strong.
 * Freddy: Yes. The souls of the children give me strength. [rips sweater, revealing faces in chest.]
 * Nancy: Oh, God.
 * Freddy: Always room for more.

 * Donald Thompson: It's really you.
 * [Freddy's skeleton snarls at him with recognition and hate]
 * Donald Thompson: I've killed you once before, you son of a bitch!

Freddy Krueger

 * You shouldn't have buried me, I'm not dead.
 * How's this for a wet dream?
 * Welcome to Wonderland, Alice.
 * I... am... eternal.
 * No pain, no gain.
 * You can check in, but you can't check out.
 * Alice, come to daddy.
 * Now no one sleeps.
 * Wanna suck face?
 * I wanna draw some blood!
 * One down. Two to go.
 * How sweet. Fresh meat.
 * You've got their powers. I've got their souls. Come on!
 * If the food don't kill ya, the service will.
 * Mmm... the usual. My favorite. Mmm... Eeney, meeney, miney... MOE!
 * Mmm... Rick, you little meatball. I love soul food. Bring me more.
 * Your shift is over.
 * Well, it ain't Dr. Seuss.

Dialogue

 * Kristen: We have matching luggage again. The bags under your eyes. Nightmares?
 * Alice: Yeah.
 * Kristen: God, I hate dreaming.
 * Alice: Mmm. I love to dream. I just hate the ones about my Dad.
 * Kristen: How do you handle your nightmares?
 * Alice: My Mom taught me when I was little. Did you ever hear of the dream master?
 * Kristen: Sounds like a game show host to me.
 * Alice: No, it's a rhyme. Just have to dream about someplace fun. Remember, you're in control.
 * Kristen: How do you know so much about dreams?
 * Alice: When, when it's all you have, you kinda become an expert.

 * Debbie: [in Debbie's dream] I don't believe in you.
 * Freddy: I believe in you.

 * Alice: [Rick comes in and sits next to Alice, who is watching a video with Rick and Kristen in it in their happier days] You made her so happy then.
 * Rick: Yeah, before all this Freddy shit.
 * Alice: [Turns to Rick] You know, I saw it in my dream. Th-There was this horrible man...
 * Rick: [Interrupting Alice with a tone in his voice] Oh, who, Freddy? Freddy? Look, I don't want to hear about Freddy, okay? I heard it all from Kristen and I don't want to hear anymore. So just stop it.
 * Alice: I could smell the smoke. I could feel the fire. It wasn't a dream it was real!
 * Rick: I said stop it! She wasn't crazy and neither are you, so just stop it, please. God, why are you acting this way?
 * Alice: I don't know, Rick. Something happened in the dream and now it's like she's a part of me.

 * Kincaid: Kristen! Freddy's back! Freddy's back! Freddy's back!
 * [Freddy stabs Kincaid in the stomach]
 * Kincaid: I'll see you in hell.
 * Freddy: Tell 'em Freddy sent ya.

 * Elaine Parker: Something matter with the cuisine?
 * Kristen: Well, Mom, I'll tell you, when two of your friends die in the same day, let me know what it does to your appetite.
 * Elaine Parker: You're just tired. Don't think I haven't noticed you haven't been sleeping, young lady. That has got to stop, honey.
 * Kristen: [suddenly gets up, feeling drowsy instantly] What's wrong with me?
 * Elaine Parker: Adolescent anxiety. This will make it better.
 * Kristen: [confused, she looks at lemonade which is murky. She drops the glass, which shatters onto the table] Oh, God! What did you do!
 * Elaine Parker: Oh, please!
 * [grabs mom's purse and sleeping pills fall out]
 * Kristen: Jesus! Sleeping pills!
 * Elaine Parker: Look Kristen, I'm sorry. It's just...
 * Kristen: Sorry! Sorry after you and your tennis pals torched this guy, and now he's after me? In case you haven't been keeping score, it's his fucking banquet, and I'm the last course.
 * Elaine Parker: Kristen, we went over this in therapy!
 * Kristen: No mother, you just murdered me. Take that to your goddamn therapy.
 * Elaine Parker: Kristen!
 * [runs out of the dining room, sedated and falling]

 * Freddy: [in Kristen's dream] Elm Street's last brat. Farewell.
 * Kristen: We beat you before!
 * Freddy: And now you're all alone! Kristen, why don't you, uh, [scrapes his nails on a pipe] call on one of your little friends? Maybe they could help.
 * Kristen: Never! I'm the last!
 * Freddy: Why don't you reach out and cut someone?
 * Kristen: No!

 * Chorus Children: Now I lay me down to sleep. The Master of Dreams my soul will keep. In the reflection of my mind's eye...
 * Alice: Evil will see itself, and it shall die!
 * [shines stained glass pane at Freddy]

 * Alice: Rest in Hell.
 * [kicks Freddy's glove away]

About

 * I feel like the script to Nightmare 4 is so tender hearted and thought out. I completely related to that character. That’s me in grade school, junior high, etc. Daydreamer, all I did was read books all summer long, looking out the window at the cute guy playing soccer in the backyard. Literally I was Alice. That was my life, so I completely related to the character and I think a lot of us can relate to the character at times in our life when we just want to be part of the wall. We just want to be wallpaper and not bring attention to ourselves and disappear into fantasy worlds. I believe a lot of people, at least a lot of people have told me that they really related to that character. But at one point in life, you have to make a decision to stand up for yourself and stand up for those that you love.
