Dialogue

 * The Settlers: Ready to hoist the cannon? Aye!
 * Lon: Hey look. Is that Smith?
 * Ben: That's him, all right. The old sea dog.
 * Thomas: Captain John Smith? I've heard amazing stories about him.
 * Lon: [to John] Are you coming on this voyage, too?
 * Ben: Of course he is, you half-wit! You can't fight Indians without John Smith!
 * John Smith: That's right. I'm not about to let you boys have all the fun.

 * Thomas: What do you suppose the New World will look like?
 * John Smith: Like all the others, I suppose. I've seen hundreds of new worlds, Thomas. What could be possibly different about this 1?

 * Kekata: Your return has brought much joy to the village. Look at all the smiling faces.
 * Powhatan: Yes. But there is one smiling face I don't see. Where is my daughter?
 * Kekata: You know Pocahontas. She has her mother's spirit. She goes wherever the wind takes her.

 * [Pocahontas and Nakoma are looking at Kocoum]
 * Nakoma: Oh, he is so handsome.
 * Pocahontas: [jokingly] I especially love his smile.
 * [Cut to a stone-faced Kocoum]

 * Pocahontas: Father, for many nights now, I've been having a very strange dream. I think it's telling me something's about to happen, something exciting.
 * Powhatan: Yes, something exciting is about to happen.
 * Pocahontas: [eagerly] Really? What is it?
 * Powhatan: Kocoum has asked to seek your hand in marriage.
 * Pocahontas: [disappointed] Marry Kocoum?
 * [Flit nods in approval; Meeko, on the other hand, sticks out his tongue in disgust.]
 * Powhatan: I told him it would make my heart soar.
 * [Pocahontas smiles awkwardly, then peers through the hut's flap at Kocoum, who's refusing to play with the village children.]
 * Pocahontas: But he's so... serious.
 * Powhatan: My daughter, Kocoum will make a fine husband. He is loyal and strong, and will build you a good house, with sturdy walls. With him, you will be safe from harm.
 * Pocahontas: Father, I think my dream is pointing me down another path.
 * Powhatan: This is the right path for you.

 * Grandmother Willow: Oh! Your mother's necklace.
 * Pocahontas: That's what I wanted to talk to you about. My father wants me to marry Kocoum.
 * Grandmother Willow: Kocoum? But he's so serious.

 * Wiggins: Do you think we'll meet some savages?
 * Governor Ratcliffe: If we do, we shall be sure to give them a proper English greeting.
 * Wiggins: Oooh, gift baskets! [holds up a pair of gift baskets]
 * Governor Ratcliffe: [to himself] And he came so highly recommended.

 * Governor Ratcliffe: I hereby claim this land and all its riches in the name of His Majesty, King James the First, and do so name this settlement Jamestown.
 * Wiggins: Bravo! Bravo! Beautifully spoken, sir. [to Percy in the bath] Hurry now, Percy. We must be all squeaky clean for the New World.

 * John Smith: No! Wait! Please... Please! Don't run off. It's all right. I'm not going to hurt you. Here. Let me help you out of there.
 * Pocahontas: Ma-ta-que-na-to-rath.
 * John Smith: You don't understand a word I'm saying, do you? [pauses out] It's all right.
 * [Pocahontas provides her hair, she will make it cover up to John's hand]
 * Grandmother Willow (voice off): [singing] Listen with your heart you will understand. Let it break upon you like a wave upon the sand.
 * John Smith: Who are you?
 * Grandmother Willow (voice off): [singing] Listen with your heart, you will understand.
 * [Pocahontas begin to close her eyes to listen to your heart; but now she open her eyes reflect]
 * Pocahontas: Pocahontas.
 * John Smith: What? What do you just say?
 * Pocahontas: My name is Pocahontas.
 * [Meeko and Flit, they both looking each other symbolizing]
 * John Smith: I'm John Smith.

 * [Fade to the digging site. Kocoum and his comrades are watching the settlers closely, their digging has yielded no results, but Governor Ratcliffe, urges them on, certain that the gold they are searching for is around somewhere]
 * Governor Ratcliffe: That's it. Keep at it, men. Keep digging. It has to be here somewhere.
 * [One of Kocoum's friends whistles to him and holds up three fingers, meaning that he has counted 30 more settlers in his quadrant. The Native American warrior is beginning to doubt his earlier statement about being able to take them all on easily]
 * Native American Warrior #1: There's thirty more of them down past the ridge.
 * Kocoum: That makes more than a hundred!
 * Governor Ratcliffe: [holding a plate and a chicken drumstick] Anything yet?
 * Thomas: Nothing but rocks and dirt, sir.
 * Lon: Um, how long are we going to keep digging like this, sir?
 * Ben: [climbing out of his hole] Aye. We're slaving apart, busting our backs day and night for––
 * Governor Ratcliffe: [interrupting] For king and country. I know, I know. And I share your fatigue. [takes a bite of his drumstick, clearly not enjoying it] Wiggins? Wiggins!
 * [As Governor Ratcliffe calls Wiggins' name, we see him making a topiary sculpture of an elephant, bear, giraffe and unicorn walking in a line]
 * Wiggins: [snips the last branch off the unicorn's nose] Hang on!
 * Governor Ratcliffe: [evilly gives him the drumstick] Dispose of this.
 * Wiggins: [waves it in Percy's face] Uh-huh. Who's a nice doggie, huh? Who's a nice doggie? [the pug just sighs annoyingly, and he throws the drumstick] Fetch, boy!
 * [Meanwhile, the chicken drumstick misses one of the Native Americans hiding in the bushes. He pokes his head out to see who threw it and is spotted by Percy, who lets out a loud, anguished shriek and runs away]
 * Governor Ratcliffe: [panicked] Savages! It's an ambush! Arm yourselves!
 * Wiggins: Run!
 * [Wiggins ducks behind the topiary sculpture he carved and falls to the ground, teeth chattering in fear]
 * Governor Ratcliffe: Arm yourselves!
 * [Meanwhile, Governor Ratcliffe and the other settlers in all directions, grabbing some loaded guns to defend themselves]
 * Governor Ratcliffe: Make sure every man has a musket! Shoot! [Thomas runs past him, but accidentally trips on a log and his gun goes off, narrowly missing Governor Ratcliffe and hitting a water barrel] Them, you idiot!
 * [Thomas looks over his shoulder at a ticked off Governor Ratcliffe, afraid he has already messed up. The other settlers fire their weapons, barely missing Kocoum and his companions. Seeing this as a challenge, they pull their bows taut and fire their arrows in retaliation. As this goes on, Percy runs for shelter under a helmet as an arrow bounces away from it]
 * Governor Ratcliffe: Where's that blasted Smith if I need him?
 * [1 of the Indian warriors, Namontack, takes refuge in a tree and gets ready to shoot at Governor Ratcliffe, but he evilly spots him there. He angrily fires a shot at Namontack. He groans as the bullet hits him in the leg and flops to the ground, yelling in pain]
 * Kocoum: [drops his bow and runs to him] Namontack!
 * [As Namontack looks up, he sees Ben about to angrily do him away. But just as he gets close, Kocoum intercepts him. The two strain for a bit before the former kicks the latter apart as Lon and Roy fire off their guns twice more. Luckily for Kocoum, the projectiles miss as he picks up his fallen friend]
 * Kocoum: Back to the village!
 * [Kocoum carries Namontack away, hopefully to get complete medical treatment. The settlers all cheer at their supposed victory, but Governor Ratcliffe does not join in, certain he hasn't actually won]
 * Governor Ratcliffe: Shut up. Shut up, you fools! They'll be back.
 * [As the cheering continues, Wiggins pokes his head out of the topiary, which has several parts shot apart and arrows stuck in it as a result of the fight]
 * Governor Ratcliffe: Everyone, back to camp. Get the rest of the cannons ashore, and conclude building the fort!
 * Ben: Aye, Governor.
 * Governor Ratcliffe: [angrily turns to Thomas] And you! Learn to use that thing properly. A man's not a man unless he knows how to shoot.

 * [Pocahontas looking a John's Helmet himself]
 * John Smith: It's called a helmet.
 * Pocahontas: Helmet.
 * [Flit tap it his Helmet, looks shocked and scares away]
 * John Smith: So... what river is this?
 * Pocahontas: Quiyoughcohannock..
 * John Smith: You have the most unusual names here, Chechomony, Quiyoughcohannock, Pocahontas.
 * Pocahontas: You have a most unusual name too... John Smith.
 * John Smith: Hey! [about Meeko eating his hardtacks] Is this bottomless pit a friend of yours?
 * Pocahontas: Meeko.
 * John Smith: Well how do you do, Meeko? [goes to shake Meeko's hand] It's all right, it's just a hand shake. Here let me show you. [Long pauses out]
 * Pocahontas: Nothing's happenin'.
 * John Smith: No. No, I need your hand first. [She holds her hand out and he shakes it] It's how we say hello.
 * Pocahontas: This is how we say hello. Wingapo.
 * John Smith: Wingapo.
 * Pocahontas: And how we say goodbye. Ana.
 * John Smith: I like hello better. [Flit they start breaking off each hand, Flit an goring to him] Yeah, I remember you.
 * Pocahontas: Flit doesn't like strangers.
 * John Smith: But I'm not a stranger anymore. Stubborn little fellow, isn't he?
 * Pocahontas: Very stubborn.
 * John Smith: Hey!
 * [Meeko grabs a compass in the bag, and running off]
 * Pocahontas: Meeko! Come back here.
 * John Smith: Don't worry, he can't hurt it. [Meeko tap a compass on the rock] Hey!
 * [John tries grab his compass and Meeko climb in the tree]
 * Pocahontas: Meeko, bring that back!
 * John Smith: No, it's all right. He can keep it. Call it a gift.
 * Pocahontas: [about compass] What was that?
 * John Smith: My compass.
 * Pocahontas: Compassed?
 * John Smith: It tells you how to find your way when you get lost. It's all right. I'll get another in London.
 * Pocahontas: London? Is that your village?
 * John Smith: Yes. It's a very big village.
 * Pocahontas: What's it like?
 * John Smith: [about London village] Well, it's got streets filled with carriages, bridges over the rivers, and buildings as tall as trees.
 * Pocahontas: I'd like to see those things.
 * John Smith: You will.
 * Pocahontas: How?
 * John Smith: We're going to build them here. We'll show your people how to use this land of properly. How to make the most of it.
 * Pocahontas: [confused] Make the most of it?
 * John Smith: Yes. We'll build roads and decent houses.
 * Pocahontas: [about the Indian's village] Our houses are fine.
 * John Smith: [sarcastically] You think that only because you don't know any better. [Pocahontas angrily walks off, Flit attack away for him] Wait a minute. Don't take it that. Hey! Wait! [after Pocahontas stopping the her canoe] Wait! There's so much we can teach you. We've improved lives of savages all over the world.
 * Pocahontas: Savages?
 * John Smith: Uh, not that you're a savage.
 * Pocahontas: Just my people!
 * John Smith: No. Listen. That's not what I meant. Let me explain.
 * Pocahontas: Let go!
 * John Smith: No, I'm not letting you leave. [Pocahontas jumps out of her canoe and climbs up into a tree] Look, don't do this. Savage is just a word, uh, you know. A term for people who are uncivilized.
 * Pocahontas: Like me.
 * John Smith: Well, when I say uncivilized, What I mean is, is...
 * [He grabs a branch, but the branch is not strong enough to hold his weight, and John falls back to the ground. Pocahontas jumps down after him]
 * Pocahontas: What you mean is, not like you. [singing] You think I'm an ignorant savage, and you've been so many places / I guess it must be so / but still I cannot see, if the savage one is me / How can there be so much that you don't know? You don't know...| You think you own whatever land you land on, the Earth is just dead thing you can claim / But I know every rock and tree and creature has a life, has a spirit, has a name / You think the only people who are people are the people who look and think like you / But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you'll learn things you never knew, you never knew...| Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon, or asked the grinning bobcat whey he grinned? / Can you sing with all voices of the mountains? / Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind...| Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest, come taste the sun-sweet berries of the Earth / Come roll in all the riches all around you, and for once, never wonder what they're worth / The rainstorm and the river are my brothers / The heron and the otter are my friends / And we are all connected to each other / In a circle, in a hoop that never ends! | How high does the sycamore grow? / If you cut it down, then you'll never know! / And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon, for whether we are white or copper skinned / We need to sing with all voices of the mountains, can you paint with all the colors of the wind... You can own the Earth and still all you'll own is Earth, until you can paint with all the colors of the wind... [they hearing drums]
 * John Smith: What is it?
 * Pocahontas: The drums. They mean trouble. I shouldn't be here.
 * John Smith: I want to see you again.
 * Pocahontas: I can't.
 * John Smith: Please, don't leave.
 * Pocahontas: I'm sorry. I have to go. [she runs off back to her canoe and John sadly watch her, Meeko and Flit left then fades to black]

 * John: [goes to shake Meeko's hand] It's alright, it's just a hand shake. Here let me show you. [Long paused/pauses]
 * Pocahontas: Nothing's happenin'.
 * John: No. No, I need your hand 1st. [She holds her hand out and he shakes it] It's how we say hello.
 * Pocahontas: This is how we say hello. Wingapo.
 * John: [short pauses] Wingapo.
 * Pocahontas: And how we say goodbye. Ana.
 * John: I like hello better.

 * Ben: All right! This one's ready to hoist!?
 * Lon: Two on each side. Ready now? Push! Watch it! It's slipping!
 * Ben: [John, Thomas, Lon pushing the fence] Come on, lads, it's only a little picket fence.
 * Lon: [Meeko climbs the fence] Steady! Steady!
 * Ben: There you go.
 * Thomas: That'll keep everything out, eh, John? [John digs a shovel] Something wrong, John?
 * John Smith: What?!
 * Thomas: You've been quiet the last few days.
 * Lon: [to John] Oh, he's just mad he missed all the action.
 * Thomas: Ah, don't worry, John. You'll get your chance to deal with Indians.
 * Lon: Yeah. We'll take care of them, like we did last time, eh, mates? [singing] We shot ourselves an injun, or maybe two or three.
 * Ben: [angrily kicks him] All right, you howling nutter! Get to work!
 * Lon: Come on, Ben, it's just just a little fun.
 * Ben: [sarcastically] Oh, sure, we're having loads of fun. Right, look at us. No gold, no food, while Ratcliffe sits up in his tent all day happy as a clam.
 * Governor Ratcliffe: [in his tent] I'm doomed! I should be wallowing in riches right now, and I haven't found as much as a speck! [Meeko sniffing to sees Percy] Think. Think! It's got to be around somewhere. Where could it be? [Percy is seen playing with a merry-go-round that has dog biscuits, Percy begin to eat the biscuits, but then he notices Meeko eating them.] I've mined the forests and the hills and the swamps... and NOTHING! [Percy begins to chase Meeko away without Governor Ratcliffe even noticing] Why can't I find it?! What am I overlooking?!
 * [He turns around and is shocked it to Wiggins apparently shot through the head with an arrow]
 * Wiggins: I... I... [he takes off his headband, made from an native's arrow] I made it myself!
 * Governor Ratcliffe: [snatches it off his head] Take that silly...! [looking at the arrow] Of course. The Indians. Wiggins, why do you think those insolent heathens attacked us?
 * Wiggins: Because we invaded their land and cut down their trees and dug up their earth?
 * Governor Ratcliffe: It's the gold! They have it, and they don't want us to take it from them. Well, I'll just have to take it by force then, won't I?
 * [Ben and Lon tired, When Governor Ratcliffe comes looking John Smith has disappeared.]
 * Governor Ratcliffe: You there! Where's Captain Smith?
 * Lon: Well, he's... gone.
 * Ben: Ay, your singing must have scared him off.
 * Governor Ratcliffe: Well then go get him, for heaven's sake!
 * Lon: What if we run into the Indians?
 * Governor Ratcliffe: That's what guns are for! Now arm yourselves and get moving!

 * Powhatan: Pocahontas, you should be inside the village.
 * Pocahontas: We'll be all right.
 * Nakoma: We're gathering food for when the warriors arrive.
 * Powhatan: Don't go far. Now is not the time to be running off.
 * Pocahontas: Yes, father!
 * Powhatan: When I see you wear that necklace, you look just like your mother.
 * Pocahontas: I miss her.
 * Powhatan: But she is still with us. Whenever the wind moves through the trees, I feel her presence. Our people looked to her for wisdom and strength. Someday, they will look to you as well.
 * Pocahontas: I would be honored by that.
 * Powhatan: You shouldn't be out there alone. I'll send for Kocoum.
 * Nakoma: All right. What is it?
 * Pocahontas: What?
 * Nakoma: You're hiding something.
 * Pocahontas: I'm not hiding anything.
 * Nakoma: Pocahontas, you can tell me. I promise, I won't tell anyone. [sees John Smith coming; Nakoma gasps] Pocahontas, look! [Flit flies to John, but he hold hardtack and tap to Flit on the ground in cornfield] It's one of them! I'm going to get-
 * Pocahontas: [thrusts her hand over Nakoma's mouth] What are you doing here?
 * John Smith: I had to see you again.
 * Kocoum: Pocahontas! Pocahontas?!
 * Pocahontas: [to Nakoma] Please, don't say anything. [to John] Quick, this way!
 * Nakoma: But-
 * Kocoum: Nakoma, where is Pocahontas?
 * Nakoma: I-I haven't seen her.
 * Kocoum: Pocahontas can't keep running off. It's dangerous out there. Tell her that. She listens to you.
 * Nakoma: [sarcastically to himself] Huh. Sure she does.

 * [Later on, Pocahontas leads John Smith to Grandmother Willow, but she appears and she disappears]
 * John Smith: [shocked] What was that?
 * Pocahontas: Do you see something?
 * John Smith: [nervous] No, no. I just, uh, I...[she nowhere to be seen] I didn't see anything. Did I?
 * Pocahontas: Look again.
 * Grandmother Willow: [she appears; singing] Let it break upon you, like a wave upon the sand. [spoken] Hello, John Smith.
 * John Smith: [nervously] Pocahontas, that tree is talking to me.
 * Pocahontas: Then you should talk back.
 * Grandmother Willow: Don't be frightened, young man. My bark is worse than my bite.
 * Pocahontas: Say something.
 * John Smith: What do you say to a tree?
 * Pocahontas: Anything you want.
 * John Smith: [gets closer to Grandmother Willow] So, uhh...
 * Grandmother Willow: Come closer, John Smith. [she inspects him] He has a good soul. And he's handsome, too.
 * John Smith: Oh, I like her.
 * Pocahontas: I knew you would.
 * Ben: [they shocked it] Smith! Smith, where are you mate?
 * John Smith: We can't let them see us.
 * Grandmother Willow: [they hiding in the glade on our side] Quick! Over here!
 * Lon: This place gives me the creeps. Savages could be hiding anywhere.
 * Ben: Ay, well, if you spot one, don't ask questions. Just shoot.
 * [Ben and Lon clumsily trip over Grandmother Willow's root]
 * Ben: Watch your feet, ya big oaf!
 * Lon: It wasn't me! It was the tree!
 * Ben: Oh, of course. The tree just felt like lifting its roots and... [sees the tree root out of the ground; it drops back in the earth] Let's get out of here!
 * [Grandmother Willow angrily whips them both with her vines to Ben and Lon]
 * Ben: Run!
 * [they cowardly rush away]
 * Lon: But what about Smith?
 * Ben: He's a big lad! He can take care of himself!
 * John Smith: I'm glad you're on our side.
 * Grandmother Willow: There's still some snap in these old vines.
 * John Smith: I better get back before they send the whole camp after me.
 * Pocahontas: When will I see you again?
 * John Smith: Meet me tonight, right here.

 * Lon: This place gives me the creeps. Savages could be hiding anywhere.
 * Ben: Ay, well, if you spot one, don't ask questions. Just shoot.
 * [Ben and Lon clumsily trip over Grandmother Willow's root]
 * Ben: Watch your feet, ya big oaf!
 * Lon: It wasn't me! It was the tree!
 * Ben: Oh, of course. The tree just felt like lifting its roots and... [sees the tree root out of the ground; it drops back in the earth] Let's get out of here!

 * Grandmother Willow: Well, I haven't had this much excitement in 200 years.
 * Pocahontas: What am I doing? I shouldn't be seeing him again. I mean, I want to see him again.
 * Grandmother Willow: Who wouldn't? I want to see him again.
 * Pocahontas: But still, something inside is telling me it's the right thing.

 * Nakoma: Pocahontas, are you crazy? What were you doing with one of them?
 * Kocoum: There you are!
 * Pocahontas: Kocoum!
 * Kocoum: [to Pocahontas and Nakoma] Look at them. Now we have enough warriors to destroy those white demons!
 * [Powhatan with another tribal chieftain]
 * Powhatan: Now that we are joined by our brothers, we will defeat this enemy.
 * [Pocahontas walks off by Kocoum and Nakoma, she talk to Father, but she near them the warriors]
 * Pocahontas: Father, I need to speak with you.
 * Powhatan: Not now, my daughter. The council is gathering.
 * Pocahontas: [about the settlers] We don't have to fight them! There must be a better way.
 * Powhatan: Sometimes our paths are chosen for us.
 * Pocahontas: But maybe we should try talking to them.
 * Powhatan: They do not want to talk.
 * Pocahontas: But if one of them did want to talk, you would listen to him, wouldn't you?
 * Powhatan: Pocahontas...
 * Pocahontas: [desperately] Wouldn't you?!
 * Powhatan: Of course I would. But it is not that simple. Nothing is simple anymore.

 * [Pocahontas is foolishly sneaking out of the village to see John. Nakoma catches her.]
 * Nakoma: Pocahontas!
 * Pocahontas: Nakoma!
 * Nakoma: Don't go out there. I lied for you once. Don't ask me to do it again.
 * Pocahontas: I have to do this.
 * Nakoma: He's one of them!
 * Pocahontas: You don't know him.
 * Nakoma: If you go out there, you'll be turning your back on your own people.
 * Pocahontas: I'm trying to help my people.
 * Nakoma: Pocahontas, please. You're my best friend. I don't want you to get hurt.
 * Pocahontas: I won't. I know what I'm doing.
 * Nakoma: Pocahontas, no!
 * [Pocahontas runs off.]

<hr width="50%"/>

 * Ben: Ratcliffe wouldn't take us halfway 'round the world for nothing.
 * Lon: But what if Smith is right? What if there is no gold?
 * Settler: If you ask me, Ratcliffe's been lying to us since we left London.
 * Ben: Listen to you, you bunch of idiots! Those savages didn't attack us for nothing. They're hiding something.
 * Lon: If they do have the gold, we'll have to fight them for it.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * [Thomas sees John Smith sneaking off to meet Pocahontas at Grandmother Willow's Glade, Governor Ratcliffe appears behind him and pushes him out of the camp]
 * Governor Ratcliffe: Follow him. I want to know where he's sneaking off to.
 * Thomas: Yes, Governor.
 * Governor Ratcliffe: And if you see any Indians, shoot them. Oh, and Thomas? You've been a slipshod sailor and a poor excuse for a soldier. Don't disappoint me again.

 * [Cut to the Powhatan village, Kocoum's hut. He is using a stone to sharpen a knife until Nakoma comes up to him]
 * Nakoma: Kocoum.
 * Kocoum: [turns toward her] What is it?
 * Nakoma: It's Pocahontas.
 * Kocoum: [worried] What's wrong? [standing up] Is she all right? [Nakoma pauses for a moments, as she suddenly feels that she's making a big mistake, but decides to warn Kocoum anyhow]
 * Nakoma: I think she's in danger.
 * [Cut to Grandmother Willow's glade. Pocahontas runs straight inside as fast as she can. Several squirrels scurry all over the ancient tree's face]
 * Grandmother Willow: The earth is trembling, child. What just happened?
 * Pocahontas: The warriors are here.
 * [Suddenly, John runs up to him to report what just happened on the end]
 * John: Pocahontas!
 * Pocahontas: John!
 * John: Listen to me. My men are planning to attack your people. You have to warn them.
 * Pocahontas: Perhaps it's not too late to stop this. You have to come with me and speak to my father.
 * [Pocahontas pulls John Smith along, but he stops her]
 * John: Pocahontas, talking isn't going to do any nice. I already tried talking to my men, but everything about this land has them spooked.
 * [Suddenly, a muffled howl turns their attention towards the woods. It is revealed to be Percy, yet stuck in the log from earlier. He spins around clumsily]
 * Grandmother Willow: That's the strangest creature I've ever seen!
 * [At that moment, Percy clumsily loses his balance and trips. He rolls down a hill and flies through a tree, dislodging him from the log, eventually landing upside-down in John Smith's hands]
 * John: Percy?
 * [Meeko, seeing Percy, grins hesitantly. The pug, remembering the food the raccoon stole from him, growls frustratingly and angrily lunges at him]
 * John: Easy, Percy. Come here!
 * Pocahontas: Meeko, come back!
 * John: You see what I mean? Once two sides will to fight, nothing can stop them.
 * Pocahontas: Come-come here, both of you!
 * John: It's alright, it's alright. He's a friend. Bad...bad dog! Sit!
 * [Flit laughs at Meeko's predicament, but the latter grabs him and uses him like a sword]
 * Pocahontas: What are you doing here? Meeko!
 * John: Percy, get back here! What are you doing here? Stop that!
 * [Meeko climbs into Grandmother Willow's branches, leaving Percy barking]
 * Grandmother Willow: Alright, that's enough!
 * [Percy, alarmed at the sentient tree before him, lets out a frightened whine and faints, landing in the pond. Grandmother Willow fishes him out with a vine and places him in front of her]
 * Grandmother Willow: It's enough to make your sap boil. Now then, there's something I want to show you. Look.
 * [Grandmother Willow lowers a branch into the water and makes ripples in the pond]
 * Pocahontas: The ripples.
 * John: What about them?
 * Grandmother Willow: So small at first, then look how they grow. But someone has to start them.
 * John: They're not going to listen to us.
 * Grandmother Willow: Young man, sometimes the right path is not the easiest one. [raises one of her roots and slides John Smith down to Pocahontas] Don't you see? Only when the fighting stops can you be together.
 * [John Smith takes Pocahontas' hands and thinks for a moment. In no time, he agrees with her decision to speak to her father to try and reason with him]
 * [Pocahontas gently smiles in agreement.]
 * John: All right. Let's go talk to your father.
 * [Pocahontas takes John Smith in her arms, and they embrace each other.]

<hr width="50%"/>

 * [after Kocoum was shot by Thomas, Powhatan sees his dead body]
 * Powhatan: Who did this?
 * Warrior: Pocahontas was out in the woods. Kocoum went to find him and his white men attacked them.
 * Powhatan: [angrily points his spear at John Smith's throats] Your weapons are strong. And now, our anger is stronger. At sunrise, he will be the first to die!
 * Pocahontas: [enters the scene] But, Father…!
 * Powathan: [angrily] I told you to stay in the village! You disobeyed me! You have shamed your father!
 * Pocahontas: [almost crying] I was only trying to help.
 * Powathan: Because of your foolishness, Kocoum is dead! [to his warriors] Take him away! [the crowds takes John Smith to be imprisoned, leaves Pocahontas alone. Nakoma approaches her regretting her horrible mistake]
 * Pocahontas: Kocoum was just only coming to protect me!

Quotes

 * At the same time, I must personally say that I do question the sincerity and nonviolent intentions of some civil rights leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Mr. James Farmer, and others, who are known to have left wing associations.

 * also quoted in A Testament of Hope: the essential writings of Martin Luther King (1990) by James M Washington, pub Harper Collins, San Francisco ISBN 0060646918

 * The idea that religion and politics don't mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country. If [there is] any place in the world we need Christianity, it's in Washington. And that's why preachers long since need to get over that intimidation forced upon us by liberals, that if we mention anything about politics, we are degrading our ministry.
 * Sermon, Lynchburg, Virginia, (July 4, 1976), quoted in

 * [S]o-called gay folks would just as soon kill you as look at you.
 * Rally in Miami (1977), quoted in

 * I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!
 * America Can Be Saved! (1979) Sword of the Lord Publishers, Murfreesboro, Tennessee, p. 52-53, quoted at "The Rise of the Religious Right in the Republican Party"

 * Interpreting the significance of the English version of Ezekiel 38:12 as evidence of the USSR's belligerence toward Israel, on the Old Time Gospel Hour (1979); as quoted in What Should We Believe? (1987) by Aurelia T. Fule, Ch. VIII: "Why Should the "New Teaching" Trouble Us?"

 * The Jews are returning to their land of unbelief. They are spiritually blind and desperately in need of their Messiah and Savior.
 * Listen, America! (1981)

 * The homosexuals are on the march in this country. Please remember, homosexuals do not reproduce! They recruit! And, many of them are after my children and your children.
 * August 1981 direct mail to supporters of his Old Time Gospel Hour show, quoted in

 * You'll be riding along in an automobile. You'll be the driver perhaps. You're a Christian. There'll be several people in the automobile with you, maybe someone who is not a Christian. When the trumpet sounds you and the other born-again believers in that automobile will be instantly caught away - you will disappear, leaving behind only your clothes and physical things that cannot inherit eternal life. That unsaved person or persons in the automobile will suddenly be startled to find the car suddenly somewhere crashes... Other cars on the highway driven by believers will suddenly be out of control and stark pandemonium will occur on … every highway in the world where Christians are caught away from the drivers wheel.
 * Nuclear War and the Second Coming of Christ (1983) as quoted in "Does Reagan Expect a Nuclear Armageddon?" by Ronnie Dugger in Washington Post Outlook (April 8, 1984)

 * AIDS is the wrath of a just God against homosexuals. To oppose it would be like an Israelite jumping in the Red Sea to save one of Pharaoh's charioteers. AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals. It is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals.

 * The ACLU's got to take a lot of blame for this.
 * On responses to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, as quoted in AANEWS #958 (14 September 2001) and at Positive Atheism

 * Pat, did you notice yesterday the ACLU, and all the Christ-haters, People For the American Way, NOW, etc. were totally disregarded by the Democrats and the Republicans in both houses of Congress as they went out on the steps and called out on to God in prayer and sang "God Bless America" and said "let the ACLU be hanged"? In other words, when the nation is on its knees, the only normal and natural and spiritual thing to do is what we ought to be doing all the time — calling upon God.
 * On responses to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, as quoted in AANEWS #958 (September 14, 2001)

 * And, I know that I'll hear from them for this. But, throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools. The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way — all of them who have tried to secularize America — I point the finger in their face and say "you helped this happen."

 * The true Negro does not want integration... He realizes his potential is far better among his own race... It will destroy our race eventually... In one northern city, a pastor friend of mine tells me that a couple of opposite race live next door to his church as man and wife... It boils down to whether we are going to take God's Word as final.

 * Response to a Jerusalem Post (March 1, 2006) article which portrayed him as endorsing a "dual covenant" theology in which Jews are saved with a "special relationship with God and so need not become Christians to get to heaven." in The Jerusalem Post (March 2, 2006)

 * Today the world has gone sex crazy. Illicit sex has become the downfall of many in the Bible.

 * You know, you almost got to be a homosexual to be recognized in the entertainment industry anymore. Ellen [Degeneres], and all the rest. I love them, pray for their souls, but they're immoral. And the Hollywood scene — five and eight and 10 marriages — not something to be emulated.

 * Thank God for these gay demonstrators. If I didn't have them, I'd have to invent them. They give me all the publicity I need.
 * As quoted by Falwell's ghostwriter in "Religion, Politics a Potent Mix for Jerry Falwell" by Steve Inskeep in Morning Edition on NPR (June 30, 2006)

 * Since Jesus came to the earth the first time 2,000 years ago as a Jewish male, many evangelicals believe the Antichrist will, by necessity, be a Jewish male. This belief is 2,000 years old and has no anti-Semitic roots. This is simply historic and prophetic orthodox Christian doctrine that many theologians, Christian and non-Christian, have understood for two millennia.
 * Quoted in "Religion, Politics a Potent Mix for Jerry Falwell" by Steve Inskeep in Morning Edition on NPR (June 30, 2006)

 * I believe in the premillenial, pre-tribulational coming of Christ for all of his church, and to summarize that, your first poll, do you believe Jesus coming the second time will be in the future, I would vote yes with the 59 percent and with Billy Graham and most evangelicals. The second question, you asked, "Do you think he is coming in your lifetime?" I would vote neither yes nor no. I would vote I do not know, because Jesus said, "No man knows the day or the hour." So the bottom line is, I believe that we ought to be living every day as though this is the crowning day. But we should also be planning and working with the next generation in mind, because we do not know.
 * Paula Zahn Now (July 31, 2006), as quoted in "CNN still fixated on Apocalypse predictors, still ignoring alleged invitation to White House, Capitol Hill" at Media Matters for America (August 1, 2006)

Quotes about Falwell

 * Listed in alphabetical order by author or source.

 * So what’s to be done right now? The social dominators and high RWAs presently marshaling their forces for the next election in your county, state and country, are perfectly entitled to do what they’re doing. They have the right to organize, they have the right to proselytize, they have the right to select and work for candidates they like, they have the right to vote, they have the right to make sure folks who agree with them also vote. Jerry Falwell has already declared, “We absolutely are going to deliver this nation back to God in 2008!” If the people who are not social dominators and right-wing authoritarians want to have those same rights in the future, they, you, had better do those same things too, now. You do have the right to remain silent, but you’ll do so at everyone’s peril. You can’t sit these elections out and say “Politics is dirty; I’ll not be part of it,” or “Nothing can change the way things are done now.” The social dominators want you to be disgusted with politics, they want you to feel hopeless, they want you out of their way. They want democracy to fail, they want your freedoms stricken, they want equality destroyed as a value, they want to control everything and everybody, they want it all. And they have an army of authoritarian followers marching with the militancy of “that old-time religion” on a crusade that will make it happen, if you let them. Research shows most people are not in this army. However Americans have, for the most part, been standing on the sidewalk quietly staring at this authoritarian parade as it marches on.
 * Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarians (2006), Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, p. 246-247

 * For Falwell and the religious right, the tension between adhering to a literal interpretation of the Bible and allowing the compromise inherent in mainstream politics never fully eased. In a pluralistic democracy, the voice of every participant has a priori equal standing. Yet with its insistence on the inerrancy of the Bible in public policy, the religious right raised the specter of theocracy. To deal with the competing demands--theological and political--Falwell, like Pat Robertson later in the 1980s, simply opted to adopt two contradictory positions, one intended for his core audience and one suited for public consumption, and hoped no one would notice. After backing Briggs's and Bryant's campaign to ban gays and lesbians from teaching positions in the public schools and repeatedly in sermons and fund-raising letters harping on the homosexual threat to children, Falwell told the Washington Post, "I have no objection to a homosexual teaching in the classroom as long as that homosexual is not flaunting his lifestyle or soliciting students."
 * John Gallagher and Chris Bull, The Religious Right, the Gay Movement, and the Politics of the 1990s (1996), Ch. 1

 * Falwell generally escaped censure for such blatant contradictions because the press was often reluctant to take him to task. When his statements and motives were called into question, he has adhered to the premise that the best defense is a good offense. Instead of answering the substance of charges, Falwell would simply suggest darkly that his critics were part of a liberal conspiracy to repress the role of Christians in government. Responding to attacks on his political views in a 1976 sermon, Falwell said, "The idea that religion and politics don't mix was invented by the devil to keep Christians from running their own country."
 * John Gallagher and Chris Bull, The Religious Right, the Gay Movement, and the Politics of the 1990s (1996), Ch. 1

 * While the outbreak of the mysterious and deadly disease in the early 1980s spurred many religiously motivated caregivers to new heights of compassion, Falwell used it to craft new fundraising appeals. In AIDS, religious conservatives like Falwell found the punitive manifestation for homosexual behavior for which they had been searching. No longer, they reasoned, could homosexuals pretend that homosexuality was without consequences. AIDS and homosexuality would become virtually synonymous in the rhetoric of the religious right and in the nation's consciousness. Ignoring the inconvenient facts that many people with AIDS are not gay, that the vast majority of gay men would never contract HIV, and that lesbians are at extremely low risk, Falwell and his colleagues on the right played AIDS as divine retribution for sodomy. In a 1987 fund-raising letter, for instance, Falwell accused gay men of donating blood because "they know they are going to die--and they are going to take as many people with them as they can."
 * John Gallagher and Chris Bull, The Religious Right, the Gay Movement, and the Politics of the 1990s (1996), Ch. 1

 * At its apex in 1979, Falwell's Old-Time Gospel Hour raised $37 million on 2.5 million appeals, a sum unimaginable for a gay organization. Yet throughout the 19705, the show was in and out of receivership. The pressure of mounting debt drove Falwell, whose penchant for overspending was as great as his gift for overstatement, to rely ever more heavily on solicitations stressing the alleged gay threat to American families. As Falwell's financial problems forced him to retreat from the public stage, the religious right's baton passed to the biblical reconstructionist Pat Robertson. Though he owed much to Falwell's trailblazing evangelism, Robertson, who practiced faith healing and speaking in tongues, would soon eclipse him as an entrepreneur and political preacher. Vowing not to repeat Falwell's mistakes, Robertson allowed the Christian Broadcasting Network to grow at a slow but steady rate. Until 1984, when he changed his party registration from Democratic to Republican, he largely abstained from Falwell's vituperative style of political activism.
 * John Gallagher and Chris Bull, The Religious Right, the Gay Movement, and the Politics of the 1990s (1996), Ch. 1

 * I think every good Christian ought to kick Falwell right in the ass.
 * Barry Goldwater (July 1981), in response to Falwell's opposition to the nomination of Sandra Day O'Connor to the Supreme Court, of which Falwell had said, "Every good Christian should be concerned"; quoted in Ed Magnuson, "The Brethren's First Sister," Time magazine (July 20, 1981)
 * According to John Dean, Goldwater actually suggested that good Christians ought to kick Falwell in the "nuts", but the news media "changed the anatomical reference."

 * The empty life of this ugly little charlatan proves only one thing: that you can get away with the most extraordinary offenses to morality and to truth in this country if you’ll just get yourself called Reverend. Who would, even at your network, have invited on such a little toad to tell us that the attacks of September 11th were the result of our sinfulness and were God’s punishment if they hadn’t got some kind of clerical qualification. People like that should be out in the street, shouting and hollering with a cardboard sign and selling pencils from a cup.
 * Christopher Hitchens, on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 (May 15, 2007).

 * If you gave Falwell an enema he could be buried in a matchbox.
 * Christopher Hitchens, on Fox News Channel's Hannity and Colmes (May 16, 2007)

Neither party should be defined by pandering to the outer reaches of American politics and the agents of intolerance, whether they be Louis Farrakhan or Al Sharpton on the left, or Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell on the right.
 * I recognize and celebrate that our country is founded upon Judeo-Christian values, and I have pledged my life to defend America and all her values, the values that have made us the noblest experiment in history. But public — but political intolerance by any political party is neither a Judeo-Christian nor an American value. … The political tactics of division and slander are not our values. They are corrupting influences on religion and politics, and those who practice them in the name of religion or in the name of the Republican Party or in the name of America shame our faith, our party and our country.
 * John McCain, quoted in "Sen. John McCain Attacks Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Republican Establishment as Harming GOP Ideals" (February 28, 2000)

 * On Tuesday, May 14, the old fat false prophet Jerry Falwell died and entered hell. As the old preacher used to put it, he split hell wide open... Hell from beneath was moved to meet Falwell at his coming, rousing the dead, even those that used to be big-shots on Earth, now in hell, greeting him with such words as these:  'Why, hello, Reverend Fraudwell, you old money-grubbing pervert!' ... As a young preacher in Springfield, Missouri, Falwell was a true Calvinistic Baptist preacher who believed and preached the truth. But he saw early on that his lust for power and lucre could never be satisfied if he was faithful to the word of God. And so the old fool, like the false prophet Balaam, sold his soul for a mess of free will-ism, God loves everybody-ism, Arminianism, lies -- sold his soul for lies."
 * Fred Phelps, leader of Westboro Baptist Church
 * "Jerry Falwell Split Hell Wide Open." WBC Video News. Westboro Baptist Church (May 18, 2007).

 * While liberals appeared to be safely in power, feminists could perhaps afford the luxury of defining Larry Flynt or Roman Polanski as Enemy Number One. Now that we have to cope with Jerry Falwell and Jesse Helms, a rethinking of priorities seems in order.

Moulin Rouge!

Moulin Rouge! is a 2001 film set in turn of the century Paris in the Bohemian yet derelict district of Montmartre. Centered on the Bohemian ideals of truth, beauty, freedom, and love, Moulin Rouge! follows the story of two lovers, Christian and Satine, who above all, believe in preserving their secret love in the midst of an environment hostile to such an affair.
 * Directed by Baz Luhrmann. Written by Craig Pearce and Baz Luhrmann.

No laws. No limits. One rule. Never fall in love.taglines

Christian

 * The Moulin Rouge. A night club, a dance hall, and a bordello. Ruled over by Harold Zidler. A kingdom of night time pleasures, where the rich and powerful came to play with the young and beautiful creatures of the underworld. The most beautiful of all these was the woman I loved. Satine. A courtesan, she sold her love to men. They called her the 'Sparkling Diamond', and she was the star of the Moulin Rouge. The woman I loved is…dead.
 * I first came to Paris one year ago. It was 1899, the summer of love. I knew nothing of the Moulin Rouge, Harold Zidler or Satine. The world had been swept up in the Bohemian revolution and I had traveled from London to be a part of it. On a hill near Paris, was the village of Montmartre. It was not what my father had said. But the center of the Bohemian world. Musicians, painters, writers. They were known as the children of the revolution. Yes! I had come to live a penniless existence. I had come to write about truth, beauty, freedom and at which I believed above all things, love. But there was only one problem.....I'd never been in love! Fortunately, at that moment, an unconscious Argentinian fell through my roof. He was quickly joined by a dwarf dressed as a nun.
 * The Hills are alive, with the sound of music. With songs they have sung for a thousand years
 * Silly of me, to think y-you could fall in love with someone like me.
 * Can't fall in love? But a life without love, that-that-that's terrible!
 * Above all things I believe in love. Love is like oxygen- love is a many splendored thing- love lifts us up where we belong! All you need is love!
 * [singing] Come what may... come what may. I will love you, until my dying day!
 * It's a little bit funny this feeling inside, I'm not one of those who can easily hide...
 * The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.
 * [singing] Why does my heart cry? Feelings I can't fight. You're free to leave me, but just don't deceive me. And please, believe me when I say I love you.
 * This woman is yours now. I've paid my whore. I owe you nothing.  And you're nothing to me.  (scuffles to hold back tears) Thank you for curing me of my ridiculous obsession with love.
 * Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months. And then, one not-so-very special day, I went to my typewriter, I sat down, and I wrote our story. A story about a time, a story about a place, a story about the people. But above all things, a story about love. A love that will live forever. The End.

Satine

 * Please tell me you're not another one of Toulouse's oh-so-talented, charmingly bohemian, tragically impoverished protégés!
 * I don't need you anymore! All my life you made believe I was only worth what someone would pay for me! But Christian loves me! He loves me, Harold. He loves me and that is worth everything! We're going away from you, away from the Duke, away from the Moulin Rouge! Good-bye Harold.
 * Tell our story, Christian. Promise me. Yes. That way I'll... I'll always be with you.
 * [Before kissing Christian] You're going to be bad for business, I can tell.
 * The difference between you and I is that you can leave anytime you choose. But this is my home. The Moulin Rouge is my home.
 * Christian, I'm a courtesan. I'm paid to make men believe what they want to believe.
 * [singing] Love is just a game.
 * I couldn't. I saw you there and I felt differently and the Duke he saw... Christian I love you. I don't want to pretend anymore. I didn't want to lie and he knows, he knows.
 * Duke! Don’t you toy with my emotions! [fake sobs] You must know the effect you have on women.
 * [singing] If I should die... this very moment.. I wouldn't fear. I've never known completeness like being here, wrapped in the warmth of you, loving every breath of you...

Harold Zidler

 * The Moulin... Rouge!!!!!
 * Everything's going so well!
 * The Duke holds the deeds to the Moulin Rouge. He's spending a fortune on you. He's giving you a beautiful new dressing room. He wants to make you a star, and you are dallying with the writer!
 * The show must go on.
 * She says it feels so good, inside, when you hold her, and touch her; it makes her feel like a ... virgin.
 * We're creatures of the underworld. We can't afford to love.
 * Hurt him. Hurt him to save him.
 * A magnificent, opulent, tremendous, stupendous, gargantuan bedazzlement, a sensual ravishment. It will be: Spectacular Spectacular. No words in the vernacular can describe this great event. You'll be dumb with wonderment. Returns are fixed at 10%. You must admit that's excellent. And on top of your fee, you'll be involved artistically.
 * My little sparrow is dying. She mustn't know, Marie.
 * Welcome, to the Moulin Rouge!
 * Invest? Invest! Oh yes, well, invest! You can hardly blame me for trying to hide, uh, Christian away.
 * Outside it may be raining, but in here it's entertaining!

The Duke

 * Why would the courtesan choose the penniless sitar player over the maharajah, who is offering a lifetime of security? That's real love. Once the sitar player has satisfied his lust, he will leave the courtesan with nothing.
 * I forgot my hat. [seeing Satine passed out with Christian on the bed] Foul play?!
 * You expect me to believe that scantily clad, in the arms of another man, in the middle of the night, inside an elephant, you were "rehearsing"?
 * I don't care about your ridiculous dogma!
 * Satine will be mine. It's not that I'm a jealous man... I just don't like other people touching my things!
 * And in the end should someone die?
 * Generally I like it.
 * You made me believe that you loved me.
 * It's the boy, he has bewitched with her the words. Tell her that the show will end my way and she will come to me when the curtain falls...or I'll have the boy killed.
 * Look, my dear! A little frog!
 * Let Zidler keep his fairy tale ending.
 * It's a little bit funny—this feeling inside.
 * I don't like this ending.

Toulouse-Lautrec

 * How do you do? My name is Henri Marie Raymond Toulouse-Lautrec Monfa.
 * The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.
 * Killed. Killed? Killed! I must warn him!
 * Clean yourself off you bourgeois pig! [snorts]
 * He's got a huge talent! [looking at Satine and Christian through the window]

The Narcoleptic Argentinean

 * The hills are alive with the sound of music! I love it!
 * Aw! The boy has talent! I like him. [touches Christian's crotch] Nothing funny [takes hand off, and laughs nervously], I just like talent.
 * Never fall in love with a woman who sells herself. It always ends BAD!
 * We have a dance in the brothels of Buenos Aires. It tells the story of a prostitute and a man who falls in love with her. First, there is desire. Then passion...! Then, suspicion. Jealousy! Anger! Betrayal! When love is for the highest bidder, there can be no trust. Without trust, there is no love. Jealousy! Yes, jealousy...will drive you, mad!!!
 * All right! No problems! Go back to work!
 * The hills are incarnate with symphonic melodies! [falls back asleep]
 * [to a dancer] You are a beautiful woman. [whispers] I love sex.

Other

 * The Bohemians: Stand your ground for freedom, beauty, truth & love.

 * Nini: This ending's silly. Why would the courtesan fall for the penniless writer- [spitefully] Oops! I meant sitar player!

Dialogue

 * Satine: What's his type? Wilting flower? [sighs] Bright and bubbly? [giggles] Or smoldering temptress? [growls]
 * Zidler: I'd say, smoldering temptress.

 * [As Satine is being carried to her dressing room, having passed out.]
 * Nini: Looks like the Duke won't be getting his money's worth tonight.
 * Dancer: Don't be unkind, Nini!
 * [They both giggle]

 * Zidler: SHE'S CONFESSING!
 * The Duke: Confessing?! What kind of imbecile do you take me for, Zidler?!
 * Zidler: She suddenly had a terrible desire...to go to a priest and...confess her sins.

 * The Duke: I don't like this ending...
 * Zidler: Don't like the ending, my dear Duke?
 * The Duke: Why should the courtesan chose the penniless sitar player over the maharajah who is offering her a lifetime of security? That's real love. Once the sitar player has satisfied his lust he will leave her with nothing. I suggest that the courtesan chose the maharajah.
 * Toulouse-Lautrec: But, but sorry, that ending does not uphold the Bohemian ideals of truth, beauty, freedom, and...
 * The Duke: [shouts] I don't care about your ridiculous dogma! Why shouldn't the courtesan chose the maharajah?
 * Christian: [shouts] Because she doesn't love you!... Him... Hi-him, she doesn't love... she doesn't love him.
 * The Duke: Oh, I see... Monsieur Zidler, the play will be rewritten with the courtesan choosing the maharajah and without the lovers' secret song. It will be rehearsed in the morning, ready for the opening tomorrow night...
 * Zidler: But, my dear Duke, that will be quite impossible.
 * Satine: Harold, the Duke is being treated appallingly. These silly writers let their imaginations run away with themselves. Why don't you and I have a little supper, and then we can tell Monsieur Zidler how we would like the story to end.
 * Nini: [to Christian] Don't worry, Shakespeare. You'll get your ending, once the Duke gets his end-in!

 * Zidler: I AM THE EVIL MAHARAJAH! YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE!
 * Satine: Oh Harold, no one could play him like you could!
 * Zidler: No one's going to.

 * Zidler: The Duke holds the deeds to the Moulin Rouge, he's spending a fortune on you, he's giving you a beautiful new dressing room, he wants to make you a star, and YOU'RE DALLYING WITH THE WRITER!
 * Satine: Harold, that's ridic...
 * Zidler: I SAW YOU TOGETHER.
 * Satine: It's nothing. It's just an infatuation... it's nothing.
 * Zidler: The infatuation will end. Go to the boy; tell him it's over, and the Duke is expecting you in the tower at eight.

 * Toulouse-Lautrec: Things aren’t always the way they seem.
 * Christian: Things are exactly the way they seem.
 * Toulouse-Lautrec: Christian, you may see me only as a drunken, vice-ridden gnome whose friends are just pimps and girls from the brothels. But I know what love is, only because I long for it with every fiber of my being. She loves you, I know it, I know she loves you.
 * Christian: Go away, Toulouse. Leave me alone. [Toulouse-Lautrec cringes but does not leave] Go. Away. [Toulouse-Lautrec still looks at Christian] GO AWAY!!!!!!!! [wordlessly, Toulouse-Lautrec leaves]
 * Christian: [narrating] I wanted to shut out what Toulouse had said, but he had filled me with doubt and there was only one way to be sure. I had to know. So I returned to the Moulin Rouge one last time. [Christian enters the Moulin Rouge and the show begins]
 * Zidler: SHEEEEEEEEEEE'S MINE!

 * Zidler: [as the evil Maharajah waiting for the Courtesan] Open the door!
 * Christian: [as the penniless sitar player pleading to the Courtesan] TELL ME YOU DON'T LOVE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The musical film is a film genre in which songs sung by the characters are interwoven into the narrative, sometimes accompanied by dancing. The songs usually advance the plot or develop the film's characters, though in some cases they serve merely as breaks in the storyline, often as elaborate "production numbers".

W. Mark Felt

William Mark Felt, Sr. (August 17, 1913 – December 18, 2008), a former Associate Director of the FBI, was "Deep Throat," a source of much of the Watergate scandal information. He was the highest-ranking federal agent ever convicted of wrongdoing. He had authorized raids on homes of suspected Weather Underground terrorists without receiving search warrants, for which he was pardoned during the appeals process by US President Ronald Reagan.

Quotes
When he graduated, Felt took a position at the Federal Trade Commission but didn't like the work. His first case was whether a toilet paper brand called "Red Cross" was misleading consumers into thinking it was endorsed by the American Red Cross. Felt wrote in his memoir:
 * "My research, which required days of travel and hundreds of interviews, produced two definite conclusions:
 * Most people did use toilet paper.
 * Most people did not appreciate being asked about it.
 * That was when I started looking for other employment."
 * Felt, W. Mark. The FBI Pyramid: From the Inside. New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1979. ISBN 0399119043.

 * I am not Deep Throat, and the only thing I can say is that I wouldn't be ashamed to be, because I think whoever [it was] helped the country, no question about it.
 * The New York Times (29 August 1976)

 * I would have done better. I would have been more effective. Deep Throat didn't exactly bring the White House crashing down, did he?
 * Interview in The Hartford Courant (1999)

 * I'm the guy they used to call "Deep Throat".
 * Statement to John D. O'Connor, under a shield of attorney-client privilege revealed in an article for the July 2005 issue of Vanity Fair which was publicly released on May 31, 2005, revealing his identity after more than 30 years of secrecy. It is stated that he made such a statement several times in the course of conversations, and he is also quoted in the title of the piece as having said" "I'm the guy they called 'Deep Throat'."

 * I guess people used to think Deep Throat was a criminal, but now they think he's a hero.
 * Statement to his daughter, Joan Felt; reported by his grandson, Nick Jones in a public statement of his personal family. (31 May 2005)

Misattributed

 * Follow the money.
 * Deep Throat as portrayed in the film All the President's Men, a dramatization of the Watergate investigation. Reporter Bob Woodward has described the statement as condensed version of the guidance that Felt gave him, but not a direct quote.

About W. Mark Felt
He loves power obviously
 * He knows everything there is to know in the FBI. He has access to absolutely everything.
 * H.R. Haldeman, White House chief of staff statement about Felt's suspected leaks in 1972 to Richard Nixon, to which Nixon replied, "Why in the hell would he do that?"

 * Everybody is to know that he is a goddamn traitor and just watch him damned carefully.
 * Richard Nixon to Alexander Haig (May 12, 1973)

 * And I said we have it on very good authority that they're from Felt...I said, "Dammit... you ought to give him a lie detector test."
 * Nixon's explanation to Haig of his earlier discussion with FBI Director Gray (May 12, 1973)
 * Nixon was referring to leaks about the Pentagon Papers to Time Magazine

 * [Felt] has to go, of course... this guy ain't gonna be the big hero now.
 * Nixon to Alexander Haig, May 12, 1973

 * Aware of his own weaknesses, he readily conceded his flaws. He was, incongruously, an incurable gossip, careful to label rumor for what it was, but fascinated by it... He could be rowdy, drink too much, overreach. He was not good at concealing his feelings, hardly ideal for a man in his position.
 * All the President's Men (1974) by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein

 * The identity of Deep Throat is modern journalism's greatest unsolved mystery. It has been said that he may be the most famous anonymous person in U.S. history. But, regardless of his notoriety, American society today owes a considerable debt to the government official who decided, at great personal risk, to help Woodward and Bernstein as they pursued the hidden truths of Watergate.
 * John D. O'Connor in an article for the July 2005 issue of Vanity Fair which was publicly released on May 31, 2005.

 * Deep Throat lived in solitary dread, under the constant threat of being summarily fired or even indicted, with no colleagues in whom he could confide. He was justifiably suspicious that phones had been wiretapped, rooms bugged, and papers rifled. He was completely isolated, having placed his career and his institution in jeopardy. Eventually, Deep Throat would even warn Woodward and Bernstein that he had reason to believe "everyone's life is in danger"—meaning Woodward's, Bernstein's, and, presumably, his own.
 * John D. O'Connor Vanity Fair (July 2005)

 * I believe that Mark Felt is one of America's greatest secret heroes. Deep in his psyche, it is clear to me, he still has qualms about his actions, but he also knows that historic events compelled him to behave as he did: standing up to an executive branch intent on obstructing his agency's pursuit of the truth. Felt, having long harbored the ambivalent emotions of pride and self-reproach, has lived for more than 30 years in a prison of his own making, a prison built upon his strong moral principles and his unwavering loyalty to country and cause. But now, buoyed by his family's revelations and support, he need feel imprisoned no more.
 * John D. O'Connor Vanity Fair (July 2005)

 * The family believes that my grandfather, Mark Felt Sr., is a great American hero who went well above and beyond the call of duty at much risk to himself to save his country from a horrible injustice. We all sincerely hope the country will see him this way as well.
 * Family press statement by his grandson Nick Jones. (31 May 2005)

 * W. Mark Felt was 'Deep Throat' and helped us immeasurably in our Watergate coverage.
 * Statement by Watergate reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, hours after public release of the Vanity Fair article.

 * I've always thought it was Mark Felt. I've told people that privately for a number of years. But I have not mentioned it publicly because I think Deep Throat is a dishonorable man.
 * Pat Buchanan former speechwriter and adviser to Richard Nixon

 * William Mark Felt was a traitor to Nixon and America! What he did caused 53,000 American soldiers to die for nothing in Vietnam!
 * Pat Buchanan on MSNBC (31 May 2005)

 * This disclosure is a godsend to the mainstream media— just when the Dan Rather and Newsweek scandals are building momentum against anonymous sources, along comes the shining knight of anonymity— "Deep Throat" to the rescue.
 * Matthew T. Felling, media director of the Center for Media and Public Affairs in Washington, D.C. Mercury News (1 June 2005)

 * What would you think the odds were that this town could keep that secret for this long?
 * Benjamin C. Bradlee, former Executive Editor of the Washington Post, who, along with Woodward and Bernstein, were the only ones publicly known to know the identity of "Deep Throat."

 * I always suspected it, but I never asked. First of all, I didn't want to be rejected, and I knew he wouldn't tell me. And I knew that if somebody else blabbed, I would get blamed.
 * Sally Quinn, wife of Benjamin C. Bradlee

 * I am really shocked. I always thought that he was the consummate professional, very upright, everybody's vision of the F.B.I. guy.
 * Charles W. Colson, former advisor to US President Richard Nixon.

 * When any president has to worry whether the deputy director of the FBI is sneaking around in dark corridors peddling information in the middle of the night, he's in trouble. There were times when I should have blown the whistle, so I understand his feelings. But I cannot approve of his methods.
 * Charles W. Colson

 * I thought Mark Felt was probably the one, which made sense because what he told Woodward was mainly the stuff the F.B.I. would have had. What he didn't tell Woodward was really anything critical about us. It wasn't inside the White House stuff, it was inside the F.B.I. stuff.
 * Jeb Stuart Magruder, Deputy campaign manager, for Richard Nixon

 * I haven't been among those consumed by this question. But I thought it might be somebody who felt deeply disturbed by the attempt to corrupt both the F.B.I. and the C.I.A.
 * Richard Ben-Veniste, Watergate special prosecutor

 * If there is such a thing as kharma, if there is such a thing as justice in this life of the next, Mark Felt has bought himself the worst future of any man on this earth.
 * Ben Stein, from the The American Spectator (June 1, 2005)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Talk:Nikos Kazantzakis

I have reverted the three recent changes to this page. First they changed a well formated page into a mess. If you are going to add quotes at least leave the page looking decent. Second most of the added quotes were long paragraphs. One of them was literally thirty sentences. That's not a quote, and it borders on copyright violation. Third unlike the existing quotes there are no references on most of the quotes. Sure they came from Report From Greco (a book from which I would like to see quotes posted), but where at? One shouldn't have to pour through a 500 page book to find a quote.

Find the chapters they are from, follow a reasonable format (listing books chronologically, etc.) and choose shorter quotes.

I am, however, going to leave the attributed quotes, with the exception of his epitaph which already appears at the top of the page. Also I moved one of the quotes to sourced (Last Temptation of Christ).

== "Δεν ελπίζω τίποτα. Δε φοβούμαι τίποτα. Είμαι λέφτερος" Does this appear anywhere in the writings of N.K ? Please let me know ! BTW : The translation : "I expect nothing. I fear no one. I am free." does not come near to the meaning at all. dreysacz from german WP

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

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

Myron Scholes

Myron Samuel Scholes (born July 1, 1941) is a Canadian-born American financial economist who is best known as one of the authors of the Black–Scholes equation. In 1997 he was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for a method to determine the value of derivatives. The model provides a conceptual framework for valuing options, such as calls or puts, and is referred to as the Black–Scholes model.

Quotes

 * Now it is time to encourage the BIS and other regulatory bodies to support studies on stress-test and concentration methodologies. Planning for crises is more important than VAR analysis.
 * American Economic Review (May 2000)
