Jihad

 (English: /dʒɪˈhɑːd/; Arabic: جهاد jihād [dʒɪˈhaːd]) is an Arabic word which literally means striving or struggling, especially with a praiseworthy aim.

 * OFFENSIVE JIHAD: Where the Kuffar are not gathering to fight the Muslims, the fighting becomes Fard Kifaya, with the minimum requirement of appointing believers to guard the borders and the sending of an army at least once a year, to terrorise the Enemies of Allah. It is the duty of the Imam to assemble and send out an Army unit into the land of War, once or twice every year. Moreover, it is the responsibility of the Muslim population to assist him, and if he does not send an army he is in sin. And the Ulama have mentioned that this type of Jihad is for maintaining the payment of Jizya. The Scholars of the principles of religion have also said, "Jihad is Da'wah with a force and is obligatory to perform with all available capabilities, until there remains only Muslims or people who submit to Islam." DEFENSIVE JIHAD: This is expelling the Kuffar from our land and it is Fard Ayn, a compulsory duty upon all.

 * Jihad is a duty in Islam. ... Those who avoid jihad are not Muslims.
 * Rasheed Ahmad, Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Railways. Quoted from “Shocking: Pak minister talks of jihad and Kashmir,” Times of India, March 1, 2019

 * "I counsel you to fear God and uphold the requirements of the outer aspects of the sharia and its statutes. The greater jihad is incumbent upon you, which is the jihad against the passions, and when you wage this jihad against your lower self the other jihad against the enemies will be [easy] for you, for if you should be killed [in the martial jihad] you will be among the living martyrs for whom God provides. The merit of the one who wages jihad (mujahid) in God’s path is like that of the devout one who fasts in God’s signs … strive to participate actively [in jihad] in God’s path… beware… if you do not take part in military campaigns and if you are not resolved to go forth [for this purpose] then you will be among the hypocrites…"
 * Ibn Arabi in Harry Neale, Jihad in Premodern Sufi Writings, Springer (2016), p. 66

 * The term "" originates not with Islam but with the who first used it to give theological legitimacy to what was in reality a battle for land and trade routes. "Holy war" was not a term used by Muslim conquerors, and it is in no way a proper definition of the word jihad. There are a host of words in Arabic that can be definitively translated as "war"; jihad is not one of them. The word jihad literally means "a struggle," "a striving," or "a great effort." In its primary religious connotation (sometimes referred to as "the greater jihad"), it means the struggle of the soul to overcome the sinful obstacles that keep a person from God. This is why the word jihad is nearly always followed in the Quran by the phrase "in the way of God." However, because Islam considers this inward struggle for holiness and submission to be inseparable from the outward struggle for the welfare of humanity, Jihad has more often been associated with its secondary connotation ("the lesser jihad"): that is any exertion—military or otherwise—against oppression and tyranny. And while this definition of jihad has occasionally been manipulated by militants and extremists to give religious sanction to what are in actuality social and political agendas, that is not at all how Muhammad understood the term.

 * To sum up, Islam is a religion of continuous personal and through disciplined worship. The  involve individual and communal obligations meant to provide the proper context for social, religious and, above all, spiritual reform. This process of disciplined reform is called jihad, "striving" or "struggling." the greatest Jihad is the struggle of every person against the evil of their own carnal soul. However, depending on social and political circumstances, Jihad can become an obligation as well as a process. Jihad may be regarded as a sixth fundamental obligation (faridah) incumbent on every Muslim when social and religious reform is gravely hampered or the community's integrity threatened. In a situation where the entire Muslim ' is in danger, jihad becomes an absolute obligation (fard 'ayn). Otherwise it is a limited obligation (fard kifayah), incumbent upon those who are directly involved. These rules apply to armed struggle, or the jihad of the sword. This, and the struggle to reform society and rectify its social, moral, and political ills, is called jihad fi sabil allah ("struggle in the way of God"). Another and closely related form of jihad is jihad bi-al-qur'an, that is jihad by means of the Qur'an. The Prophet is commanded, "Do not obey the rejecters of faith but wage a great jihad against them by means of it [the Qur'an]" (Q. 25:52). This form of Jihad is as imperative today as it was in the time of the Prophet. Yet the greatest and most fundamental striving is the jihad of the spirit, which was called by the Prophet "the greater jihad." It is jihad fi-allah, "struggle in God." As God declares in the Qur'an: "As fo those who strive in Us, We shall guide them to Our ways" (Q. 29:69) These are the ways of peace, to which God shall "guide those who seek His good pleasure" (Q. 5:16). The goal of true jihad is to attain a harmony between islam (submission), iman (faith), and ' (righteous living).

 * Jihad is of various kinds, with one’s self, one's wealth, by making du’aa’, by teaching and guiding, by helping to do good in any way. The greatest form of jihad is jihad with one’s self (i.e., going oneself and fighting), followed by jihad with one's wealth, jihad by speaking out and guiding others. Da’wah is also part of jihad. But going out oneself to fight in jihad is the highest form.
 * (Fatawa ash-Sheikh Ibn Baz, 7/334, 335), quoted in

 * Peace is associated in the Qur'an with God, making it the defining feature of the life intended for humanity, to be fully realized ultimately in the next life. Islam recognizes corruption as endemic to humanity and the need for force to maintain political and social peace, within and across societies. Early biographies of the Prophet Muhammad suggest that while he waged war, he always sought a just peace—sometimes over the protests of his companions. Considerable confusion attaches to the concept of jihad, which can be translated as either spiritual or armed struggle. During the early centuries of Islam, scholars set ethical limits on war-making. Intentions had to be pure, and not just self-interested, and the use of force had to be absolutely necessary, for example, to protect the religious community, preserve justice, or defend territory. Therefore, jihad to extend the abode of Islam was driven more by imperial than by religious considerations. The Qur’an forbids coercion in religious affairs: “There is no compulsion in religion.” (Qur’an 2:256) and killing a life without cause is equivalent to "killing the whole human race" (Qur’an 5:32). Modern calls for holy war against the infidels, articulated by Osama bin Laden and others, are at odds with the Islamic tradition and roundly denounced by leading Muslim scholars. Islam is also home to a pacifist current, most richly developed within Sufism.

 * There is no lack of evidence concerning the Muslim practice of jihad. The classical and modern works on the subject are voluminous, and they are documented by an examination of Muslim actions as recorded by historians. There can be no reasonable doubt that jihad is a major theme running through the entirety of Muslim civilization and is at least one of the major factors in the astounding success of the faith of Islam.

 * In reading Muslim literature -- both contemporary and classical -- one can see that the evidence for the primacy of spiritual jihad is negligible. Today it is certain that no Muslim, writing in a non-Western language (such as Arabic, Persian, Urdu), would ever make claims that jihad is primarily nonviolent or has been superseded by the spiritual jihad. Such claims are made solely by Western scholars, primarily those who study Sufism and/or work in interfaith dialogue, and by Muslim apologists who are trying to present Islam in the most innocuous manner possible.

 * ...after surveying the evidence from classical until contemporary times, one must conclude that today's jihad movements are as legitimate as any that have ever existed in classical Islam... In short, although the actions of many of these groups may disgust many Muslims, as far as their conduct of jihad, they fall within the limits set by classical and contemporary Muslim law.

 * Jihad made it possible for the early followers of Islam from the Muhajirun and the Ansar to be instrumental in the entry of the Quraysh and the people around them into the fold of Islam. Subsequently, God destined that Mesopotamia and Syria be conquered at their hands. Later on it was through the Muslims of these areas that God made the empires of the Persians and Romans to be subdued. And again, it was through the Muslims of these newly conquered realms that God actualized the conquests of India, Turkey and Sudan. In this way, the benefits of jihad multiply incessantly, and it becomes, in that respect, similar to creating an endowment, building inns and other kinds of recurring charities.… Jihad is an exercise replete with tremendous benefits for the Muslim community, and it is the instrument of jihad alone that can bring about their victory.… The supremacy of his Religion over all other religions cannot be realized without jihad and the necessary preparation for it, including the procurement of its instruments. Therefore, if the Prophet’s followers abandon jihad and pursue the tails of cows [that is, become farmers] they will soon be overcome by disgrace, and the people of other religions will overpower them.

 * The spread of Islam by arms is a religious duty upon Muslims in general. It narrowly escaped being a sixth rukn, or fundamental duty, and is indeed still so regarded by the descendants of the Khāridjīs. This position was reached gradually but quickly. In the Meccan Sūras of the Qur’ān patience under attack is taught; no other attitude was possible. But at Madīna the right to repel attack appears, and gradually it became a prescribed duty to fight against and subdue the hostile Meccans. Whether Muhammad himself recognized that his position implied steady and unprovoked war against the unbelieving world until it was subdued to Islam may be in doubt. Traditions are explicit on the point; but the Qur’ānic passages speak always of the unbelievers who are to be subdued as dangerous or faithless. Still, the story of his writing to the powers around him shows that such a universal position was implicit in his mind, and it certainly developed immediately after his death, when the Muslim armies advanced out of Arabia. It is a now a fard ‘ala ’l-kifāya, a duty in general on all male, free, adult Muslims, sane in mind and body and having means enough to reach the Muslim army, yet not a duty necessarily incumbent on every individual, but sufficiently performed when done by a certain number. So it must continue to be done until the whole world is under the rule of Islam....A Muslim who dies fighting in the Path of Allah (fī sabīl Allāh) is a martyr (shahīd) and is assured of Paradise and of peculiar privileges there. Such a death was, in the early generations, regarded as the peculiar crown of a pious life. It is still, on occasions, a strong incitement, but when Islam ceased to conquer it lost its supreme value. Even yet, however, any war between Muslims and non-Muslims must be a jihād with its incitements and rewards. Of course, such modern movements as the so-called Mu‘tazilī in India and the Young Turk in Turkey reject this and endeavour to explain away its basis; but the Muslim masses still follow the unanimous voice of the canon lawyers. Islam must be completely made over before the doctrine of jihād can be eliminated.

 * In law, according to general doctrine and in historical tradition, the djihād consists of military action with the object of the expansion of Islam and, if need be, of its defence….The notion stems from the fundamental principle of the universality of Islam: this religion, along with the temporal power which it implies, ought to embrace to whole universe, if necessary by force….

 * "[God] has perfected the pleasures for the martyrs who have fought in God’s path, for they have not embarked boldly upon fighting, save that they [first] sundered their attention from worldly affairs, desiring [only] to meet God, [they are] willing to be killed for His satisfaction… blessed is the paradise that the martyr reaches…"

 * JIHAD. “Lit. “An effort, or a striving.” A religious war with those who are unbelievers in the mission of Muhammad. It is an incumbent religious duty, established in the Qur’an and in the Traditions as a divine institution, and enjoined specially for the purpose of advancing Islam and of repelling evil from Muslims.
 * T. P. Hughes, Dictionary of Islam, Entry Jihad

K

 * ″The Islamic faith, born among a single people and spreading to others, used the state as an instrument for achieving a doctrinal or an ultimate religious objective, the proselytization of mankind. The Islamic state became necessarily an imperial and an expansionist state striving to win other peoples by conversion. At the very outset, the law of war, the jihad, became the chief preoccupation of jurists. The Islamic law of nations was essentially a law governing the conduct of war and the division of booty. This law was designed for temporary purposes, on the assumption that the Islamic state was capable of absorbing the whole of mankind; for if the ideal of Islam were ever achieved, the raison d’être of the law of war, at least with regard to Islam’s relations with non-Islamic states, would pass out of existence. ..The Islamic law of nations, however, is not a system separate from Islamic law. It is merely an extension of the sacred law, the shari’a, designed to govern the relations of Muslims with non-Muslims, whether inside or outside the territory of Islam. In a word, an Islamic law of nations does not exist as a separate system in the sense that modern municipal (national) law and international law, based on different sources and maintained by different sanctions, are distinct from one another″

 * ″Thus the jihad may be regarded as Islam’s instrument for carrying out its ultimate objective by turning all people into believers, if not in the prophet-hood of Muhammad (as in the case of the dhimmis), at least in the belief of God. The Prophet Muhammad is reported to have declared "some of my people will continue to fight victoriously for the sake of the truth until the last one of them will combat the anti-Christ." Until that moment is reached the jihad, in one form or another will remain as a permanent obligation upon the entire Muslim community. It follows that the existence of a dar al-harb is ultimately outlawed under the Islamic jural order; that the dar al-Islam (Islamic community) are permanently under jihad obligation until the dar al-harb is reduced to non-existence; and that any community accepting certain disabilities- must submit to Islamic rule and reside in the dar al-Islam or be bound as clients to the Muslim community. The universality of Islam, in its all embracing creed, is imposed on the believers as a continuous process of warfare, psychological and political if not strictly military.″

 * The word "jihad" has nowhere been used in the Qur'an to mean war in the sense of launching an offensive. It is used rather to mean "struggle". The action most consistently called for in the Qur'an is the exercise of patience.
 * Wahiduddin Khan The True Jihad: The Concept of Peace, Tolerance and Non Violence in Islam, p. 4.

 * Both the Qur'an and the Hadith have attached great importance to jihad. What is jihad? Jihad means struggle, to struggle one's utmost. It must be appreciated at the outset that this word is used for non-violent struggle as opposed to violent struggle. One clear proof of this is the verse of the Qur'an (25:52) which says: "Perform jihad with this (i.e., the word of the Qur'an ) most strenuously."

 * The overwhelming majority of classical theologians, jurists, and traditionalists [i.e., specialists in the hadith] . . . understood the obligation of jihad in a military sense.

 * The first step... is to understand the difference between total strategy, that is Jehad, and military strategy. The term, Jehad, so often confused with military strategy, is, in fact, the near-equivalent of total or grand strategy or policy in execution.  Jehad entails the comprehensive direction and application of ‘power’ while military strategy deals only with the preparation for and application of force.  Jehad is a continuous and never-ending struggle waged on all fronts including political, economic, social, psychological, domestic, moral and spiritual to attain the object of policy.  It aims at attaining the overall mission assigned to the Islamic State, and military strategy is one of the means available to it to do so.  It is waged at the individual as well as collective level; and at internal as well as external front. Waged in its true spirit, and with multiple means available to it, the Islamic concept of total strategy has the capacity to produce direct results.

Q

 * "The third category is the "moderate Ummah" which Almighty Allah has guided to the approach of moderation and granted knowledge, wisdom, and deep understanding of the Shari`ah and reality. Hence, it has not slipped into the negligence of the first category that seeks to keep the right of the Ummah unarmed with power, its Qur'an unguarded by the sword, and its home and sanctuaries with no guards to protect and defend them. Likewise, it has not fallen into the excess and extremism of the second group that seeks to fight those who are peaceful and declare war against all people without discrimination; white and black, in the East or in the West. Their alleged aim by doing so is to shepherd people to (the way of) Almighty Allah, drive them shackled toward Paradise and take them coercively by the hand to the Straight Path. They further add that their aim is to remove the obstacles set in front of those people by despotic regimes that do not allow them to convey the Word of Allah and the Call of His Messenger to the people, so that they can hear it loud and clear and free from all stains.
 * Yusuf al-Qaradawi, Fiqh Al-Jihad (2009)

 * Jihad against the lower self precedes jihad against external enemies and is the basis for it. Indeed, if one does not strive against himself first to do what he has been commanded and avoid what he has been forbidden and to wage war against it for the sake of Allah, one cannot possibly strive against external enemies. How can one strive against his enemies and be just if his enemy within has overpowered him, dominated him, and he did not strive or wage war against it for the sake of Allah? Rather, he cannot go out against his enemies unless he gives precedence to striving against himself.
 * Ibn al-Qayyim, Zād al-maʿād, 3:6. Quoted in "Jihad in Islam: Just-war theory in the Quran and Sunnah", p. 6.

R

 * The Qur’ān calls upon believers to undertake jihād, which is to surrender “your properties and youselves in the path of Allāh”; the purpose of which in turn is to “establish prayer, give zakāt, command good and forbid evil”—i.e., to establish the socio-moral order. So long as the Muslims were a small, persecuted minority in Mecca, jihād as a positive organized thrust of the Islamic movement was unthinkable. In Medina, however, the situation changed and henceforth there is hardly anything, with the possible exception of prayer and zakāt, that receives greater emphasis than jihād....Every virile and expansive ideology has, at a stage, to ask itself the question as to what are its terms of co-existence, if any, with other systems, and how far it may employ methods of direct expansion. In our own age, Communism, in its Russian and Chinese versions, is faced with the same problems and choices. The most unacceptable on historical grounds, however, is the stand of those modern Muslim apologists who have tried to explain the jihād of the early Community in purely defensive terms.

 * While there are hundreds of sources for militant, or lesser, jihād in classical Islam—hadīth collections, commentaries on the Koran, law books from all the schools of law, and so on—there do not seem to have been any works devoted exclusively to spiritual, or greater, jihād. This is clearly a derivative form, since it is not mentioned in any of the canonical collections of hadīth. Even the later literature on jihād fails to mention “greater jihād.”

 * حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَوْضِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَقْوَامًا مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ إِلَى بَنِي عَامِرٍ فِي سَبْعِينَ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمُوا، قَالَ لَهُمْ خَالِي أَتَقَدَّمُكُمْ، فَإِنْ أَمَّنُونِي حَتَّى أُبَلِّغَهُمْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَإِلاَّ كُنْتُمْ مِنِّي قَرِيبًا. فَتَقَدَّمَ، فَأَمَّنُوهُ، فَبَيْنَمَا يُحَدِّثُهُمْ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذْ أَوْمَئُوا إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ، فَطَعَنَهُ فَأَنْفَذَهُ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، فُزْتُ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ. ثُمَّ مَالُوا عَلَى بَقِيَّةِ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَتَلُوهُمْ، إِلاَّ رَجُلاً أَعْرَجَ صَعِدَ الْجَبَلَ. قَالَ هَمَّامٌ فَأُرَاهُ آخَرَ مَعَهُ، فَأَخْبَرَ جِبْرِيلُ ـ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ ـ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ لَقُوا رَبَّهُمْ، فَرَضِيَ عَنْهُمْ وَأَرْضَاهُمْ، فَكُنَّا نَقْرَأُ أَنْ بَلِّغُوا قَوْمَنَا أَنْ قَدْ لَقِينَا رَبَّنَا فَرَضِيَ عَنَّا وَأَرْضَانَا. ثُمَّ نُسِخَ بَعْدُ، فَدَعَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا، عَلَى رِعْلٍ وَذَكْوَانَ وَبَنِي لِحْيَانَ وَبَنِي عُصَيَّةَ الَّذِينَ عَصَوُا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
 * Narrated Anas: The Prophet sent seventy men from the tribe of Bani Salim to the tribe of Bani Amir. When they reached there, my maternal uncle said to them, "I will go ahead of you, and if they allow me to convey the message of Allah's Apostle (it will be all right); otherwise you will remain close to me." So he went ahead of them and the pagans granted him security But while he was reporting the message of the Prophet, they beckoned to one of their men who stabbed him to death. My maternal uncle said, "Allah is Greater! By the Lord of the Kaba, I am successful." After that they attached the rest of the party and killed them all except a lame man who went up to the top of the mountain. (Hammam, a sub-narrator said, "I think another man was saved along with him)." Gabriel informed the Prophet that they (i.e the martyrs) met their Lord, and He was pleased with them and made them pleased. We used to recite, "Inform our people that we have met our Lord, He is pleased with us and He has made us pleased " Later on this Quranic Verse was cancelled. The Prophet invoked Allah for forty days to curse the murderers from the tribe of Ral, Dhakwan, Bani Lihyan and Bam Usaiya who disobeyed Allah and his Apostle.

 * Narrated Al-Bara: On the day (of the battle) of Al-Ahzab (i.e. clans) I saw the Prophet carrying earth, and the earth was covering the whiteness of his abdomen. And he was saying, "Without You (O Allah!) we would have got no guidance, nor given in charity, nor prayed. So please bless us with tranquility and make firm our feet when we meet our enemies. Indeed people have oppressed us but never shall we yield if they try to bring affliction upon us."

 * Narrated that he proceeded in the company of Allah's Apostle towards  to participate in a . When Allah's Apostle returned, he too returned with him. Midday came upon them while they were in a valley having many thorny trees. Allah's Apostle and the people dismounted and dispersed to rest in the shade of the trees. Allah's Apostle rested under a tree and hung his sword on it. We all took a nap and suddenly we heard Allah's Apostle calling us. (We woke up) to see a bedouin with him. The Prophet said, "This bedouin took out my sword while I was sleeping and when I woke up, I found the unsheathed sword in his hand and he challenged me saying, 'Who will save you from me?' I said thrice, 'Allah.' The Prophet did not punish him but sat down.

 * Narrated Salama: I went out of Medina towards Al-Ghaba. When I reached the mountain path of Al-Ghaba, a slave of 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf met me. I said to him, "Woe to you! What brought you here?" He replied, "The she-camels of the Prophet have been taken away." I said, "Who took them?" He said, " and ." So, I sent three cries, "O ! O Sabahah!" so loudly that made the people in between its (i.e. Medina's) two mountains hear me. Then I rushed till I met them after they had taken the camels away. I started throwing arrows at them saying, "I am the son of Al-Akwa"; and today perish the mean people!" So, I saved the she-camels from them before they (i.e. the robbers) could drink water. When I returned driving the camels, the Prophet met me, I said, "O Allah's Apostle Those people are thirsty and I have prevented them from drinking water, so send some people to chase them." The Prophet said, "O son of Al-Akwa', you have gained power (over your enemy), so forgive (them). (Besides) those people are now being entertained by their folk."

Heat (1995 film)

Heat is a 1995 film about two men, a professional thief planning a major bank robbery and the detective pursuing him. Although both are seemingly contrasting characters, over the course of the movie they discover a mutual understanding in their inability to stop "doing what they do".
 * Directed, written and co-produced by Michael Mann.'

An epic tale of crime and obsession and two men on opposite sides of the law. taglines

Vincent Hanna

 * I'm angry. I'm very angry, Ralph. You know, you can ball my wife if she wants you to. You can lounge around here on her sofa, in her ex-husband's dead-tech, post-modernistic bullshit house if you want to. But you do not get to watch MY FUCKING TELEVISION SET!
 * I gotta hold on to my angst. I preserve it because I need it. It keeps me sharp [snaps fingers], on the edge [snaps fingers], where I gotta be.
 * Who? Who? What are you, a fucking owl?
 * When these guys walk out the door of whatever score they're gonna take next, they're gonna have the surprise of a lifetime.
 * It's like you said. All I am is what I'm going after.

Neil McCauley

 * I am double the worst trouble you ever thought of.
 * I'm alone, I am not lonely.
 * He knew the risks, he didn't have to be there. It rains... you get wet.
 * I don't even know what I'm doing anymore. I know life is short, whatever time you get is luck. You want to walk? You walk right now. Or on your own... on your own you choose to come with me. And all I know is... all I know is there's no point in me going anywhere anymore if it's going to be alone... without you.
 * [Robbing a bank] We want to hurt no one. We're here for the bank's money, not your money. Your money is insured by the federal government, you're not gonna lose a dime. Think of your families, don't risk your life. Don't try and be a hero.

Drucker

 * You recognize their M.O.?
 * I've been paging your ass all day! I can't stand fucking pagers!! You're bust-up speed freak! Jacking up methamphetamine, again!
 * Chris slipped his tail, and doesn't talk about their scores with Charlene. So, there's nothing for me to get from Marciano. I just tried.
 * My name is Sergeant Drucker. I'm with Robbery Homicide. Would you mind putting your kid in the next room?
 * Well, who has to? 'Cause you're on a plane back to New Jersey, jagoff.
 * That's right. You will have to. See, if you don't betray Chris, you victimize Dominic. Cause he'll be in foster homes, with no living parents to take care of him. He'll be fucked for life. Dominic didn't chose to screw up his life, but Chris did. You give up Chris, you get off clean. You can do it. For your kid, so you can raise him.
 * All kinds of shit. But I don't have to sell this, and you know it. 'Cause this kind of shit here sells itself.
 * Come on, sugar. Show yourself.
 * [to Marciano] SHUT-UP!!
 * One second at the doorway, then it's all over.
 * {In Script Only} [slams Marciano into the wall, while speaking to an an Officer] GET HIM OUTTA HERE!!
 * [barking into walkie-talkie] Unit 2? This is Command. Take him at the street, and check him out.
 * It's a 'No-Go', Vince.

Justine Hanna

 * [to Vincent] You don't live with me, you live among the remains of dead people. You sift through the detritus, you read the terrain, you search for signs of passing, for the scent of your prey, and then you hunt them down. That's the only thing you're committed to. The rest is the mess you leave as you pass through. ("You sift through the detritus" is missing in the US blu-ray release).
 * [to Vincent] You prefer the normal routine. We fuck and you lose the power of speech.
 * [to Vincent] I may be stoned on grass and Prozac, but you've been walking through our life dead.

Dialogue

 * Michael: What's your name?
 * Waingro: Waingro. [Michael opens the door and lets Waingro in. He climbs up into the passenger's seat] You're Michael, huh? You guys always work together?
 * Michael: All the time.
 * Waingro: Real tight crew, huh?
 * Michael: Real tight.
 * Waingro: Yeah if this works, I'd consider going again, you know.
 * Michael: Yeah, stop talking, okay, slick?

 * Waingro: Get back. [The terrified guards don't move] Get back! [They still don't move] Get back!! [Waingro pistol-whips the first guard over the left shoulder]
 * Michael: Hey slick, see that shit comin' outta their ears? They can't fucking hear you! Cool it!
 * Chris: All right guys! I got it! Got it!
 * Waingro: [to the guards] You had to fuck with me. You wanna fuck with me?
 * [He shoots the first guard in the head. The second one reaches for his ankle holster. Neil promptly kills him. With a nod from Neil, Michael shoots the third guard twice in the chest. He then steps up and shoots the final guard]
 * Neil: [to Waingro] What the fuck were you doin'? What did you do? [grabs Waingro] Dumb motherfucker.
 * Waingro: The guy was making a move.

 * Uniformed Officer: You taking this one, Lieutenant? Or does it stay in Division?
 * Vincent: Does this look like gangbangers working the local 7-Eleven to you? Robbery-Homicide's taking it.
 * Uniformed Officer: It's all yours.
 * Det. Bosko: We've got three motorists. All they saw were men with masks, they were distant. Console TV Man over there, however, he was closer. [gestures to the homeless man, who is being interviewed by another detective]
 * Vincent: Did he ID anybody?
 * Det. Bosko: Well he was hiding. He heard it mostly. [Hanna starts towards the bodies of the three guards]
 * Vincent: OK, what about them?
 * Det. Bosko: Right, now according to the TV Man, this guy started mouthing off.
 * Vincent: Smart.
 * Det. Bosko: Yeah, somebody called a guard "Slick".
 * Sgt. Drucker: Slick?
 * Det. Bosko: Yeah. Now this guy - I figure this guy went for that holdout piece, ankle holster, right from here. Bang. Bang. Bang-bang-bang, to this side. This guy here has got what appears to be a double-tap entry wound to the sternum. Tattooing around a head-wound, scorched bone, close range, probably executed. There was $1.6 million in bearer bonds, and they ignored the loose cash.
 * Vincent: 'Cause they had no time; 'cause they were on a clock, which means they knew our response time to a 211, had our air, immobilized it, entered, [and] escaped in under three minutes. It's a good spot here. We've got good escape routes - two freeways, within a quarter of a mile.
 * Det.-Sgt. Casals: Traffic video camera?
 * Vincent: Probably disabled. Check it anyway.
 * Sgt. Drucker: You recognize the M.O.?
 * Vincent: M.O. is that they're good. Once it escalated into a murder one beef for all of 'em, after they killed the first two guards, they didn't hesitate; pop guard number three because... what difference does it make? Why leave a living witness? Drop of a hat these guys will rock and roll. The shape charge--the shape charge indicates that they are technically proficient. Proficient enough to go in on the prowl, so let's start looking for recent highline burglaries that have mystified us. [to Casals] Run "Slick" as an alias to the FBI. We're gonna get the phone book. Do it anyway. [to Drucker] Who's movin' the bearer bonds? Check the usual fences. You and I will check with Cuzomano and Torena. [to Schwartz] I want you to take Goldstein and O'Farrell. [to Bosko] Hang in with forensics, from the bomb squad. I want the explosive. If we're lucky, it's exotic - we can trace the sale.

 * Justine: Are you all right? What happened? Where've you been?
 * Vincent: Work. Lauren's dad show up?
 * Justine: Didn't call, didn't show. We waited for you until 10:30.
 * Vincent: Does this guy have any idea of what's going on with this kid?
 * Justine: [shakes her head] I don't know.
 * Vincent: What, is she okay?
 * Justine: She's been in her room all day, so no, she's not okay. Neither am I. Uh, I made dinner for us four hours ago. Um, by the time I tried to maintain a consistent mood between us, she'd withdraw.
 * Vincent: I've got three dead bodies on a sidewalk off Venice Boulevard, Justine! I'm sorry if the goddamn...chicken...got overcooked.

 * Neil: L.A.P.D. Gee, what, where the fuck did this heat come from?
 * Chris: Maybe it's the score they were onto, the place, not us. 'Cause it's been hit a couple of times, you know, or something?
 * Neil: Assume they got our phones, assume they got our houses, assume they got us, right here, right now as we sit, everything. Assume it all.

 * [Hanna, Drucker, Casals, and a Las Vegas detective barge past Alan Marciano's secretary and enter his office]
 * Alan Marciano: Can I help you?
 * Vincent: Are you Alan Marciano?
 * Alan Marciano: Yeah. And who the fuck are you?
 * [Hanna pins Marciano down onto his office desk]
 * Vincent: Lieutenant Vincent Hanna, LAPD.
 * Alan Marciano: LA? This is Las Vegas! You don't have jurisdiction here!
 * [Hanna sets Marciano down in his chair and turns him towards the Las Vegas detective]
 * Vincent: Las Vegas PD takes you into custody. You are extradited to Newark on a New Jersey warrant for smuggling cigarettes up from North Carolina three years ago, or you go to work for us. Cut and dried. That...is...it.

 * [Hanna's team question Alan Marciano about Charlene Shiherlis]
 * Alan Marciano: [somewhat to himself] Why'd I get mixed up with that bitch?
 * Vincent: Cause she's got a great ass!! And you got your head all the way up it! Ferocious, aren't I? When I think of asses, a woman's ass, something comes out of me.
 * Alan Marciano: So?
 * Vincent: So, no big thing. All I want is her husband, and his whole fucking crew. Now you're gonna work with Sgt. Drucker here.

 * [Hanna notices that the crew is leaving empty-handed, after one of the SWAT officers in his van makes a noise that gives himself away to McCauley]
 * Vincent: [over the radio] OK, let 'em go.
 * Police Captain: What do you mean? We can take 'em...
 * Vincent: On what? What are you gonna take 'em on? Breaking and entering? They didn't steal anything yet. Don't you get it? It gets knocked back to some chicken shit misdemeanour, they do six months and they're out. No fuckin' way.
 * Police Captain: I'm not taking the heat from my boss just 'cause you let 'em go. They're not walking.
 * Vincent: That's exactly what they're gonna do. They're gonna walk. This is my operation. I have tactical command that supersedes your rank! They will walk away and you will let them! [slams his radio down] Fuck!

 * [Neil calls Roger Van Zant from a restaurant kitchen phone after the assassination attempt]
 * Neil: Roger Van Zant?
 * Roger Van Zant: Yeah, who's this?
 * Neil: You know what this is?
 * Roger Van Zant: Yes I do, yes I do. I sent a guy to deliver the package. He didn't call. Is everything all right?
 * Neil: Tell you what: forget the money.
 * Roger Van Zant: What?
 * Neil: Forget, the money.
 * Roger Van Zant: Well, it's--it's a lot of money. Wha--What are you doing? Whaddaya mean, "forget the money"?
 * Neil: What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone.
 * Roger Van Zant: I don't understand.
 * Neil: Because there is a dead man on the other end of this fuckin' line. [hangs up]

 * [Vincent gets back after being called to the scene of Waingro's latest murder victim]
 * Justine: I guess the earth shattered?
 * Vincent: So why didn't you let Bosko take you home?
 * Justine: I didn't wanna ruin their night too. What was it?
 * Vincent: You don't wanna know.
 * Justine: I'd like to know what's behind that grim look on your face.
 * Vincent: I don't do that. You know it. Let's go, come on.
 * Justine: You never told me I'd be excluded.
 * Vincent: I told you when we hooked up, baby, that you were gonna have to share me with all the bad people and all the ugly events on this planet.
 * Justine: And I bought into that sharing. Because I love you. I love you fat, bald, money, no money, driving a bus - I don't care. But you have got to be present like a normal guy, some of the time. That's sharing. This is not sharing, this is left overs!
 * Vincent: Oh, I see, what I should do is, er, come home and say, "Hi honey! Guess what? I walked into this house today, where this junkie asshole just fried his baby in a microwave, because it was crying too loud. So let me share that with you. Come on, let's share that, and in sharing it, we'll somehow, er, cathartically dispel all that heinous shit". Right? [pause] Wrong.

 * [Vincent catches his wife cheating on him]
 * Justine: In a way, you're a party to this.
 * Vincent: Oh yeah, I made Ralph fuck you because it makes me feel good!

 * Vincent: How you doing? What do you say I buy you a cup of coffee?
 * [A long beat.]
 * Neil: Yeah, sure. Let's go.

 * Vincent: Seven years in Folsom. In the hole for three. McNeil before that. McNeil as tough as they say?
 * Neil: You lookin' to become a penologist?
 * Vincent: You lookin' to go back? You know, I chased down some crews; guys just lookin' to fuck up, get busted back. That you?
 * Neil: You must've worked some dipshit crews.
 * Vincent: I worked all kinds.
 * Neil: You see me doin' thrill-seeking liquor store holdups with a "Born to Lose" tattoo on my chest?
 * Vincent: No, I do not.
 * Neil: Right. I am never goin' back.
 * Vincent: Then don't take down scores.
 * Neil: I do what I do best. I take scores. You do what you do best trying to stop guys like me. [shrugs]
 * Vincent: You never wanted a regular-type life?
 * Neil: The fuck is that? Barbecues and ballgames?
 * Vincent: Yeah.
 * Neil: This "regular-type life", that your life?
 * Vincent: My life? No, my life... No, my life's a disaster zone. I got a stepdaughter so fucked up, because her real father's this large-type asshole. I got a wife, we're passing each other on the down-slope of a marriage, my third... because I spend all my time chasing guys like you around the block. That's my life.
 * Neil: Guy told me one time: "Don't ever let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner." [pause] Now, if you're on me and you gotta move when I move, how do you expect to keep a...a marriage?
 * Vincent: Well, that's an interesting point. What are you, a monk?
 * Neil: [pause] I have a woman.
 * Vincent: What do you tell her?
 * Neil: I tell her I'm a salesman.
 * Vincent: So then, if you spot me coming around that corner... you just gonna walk out on this woman? Not say goodbye?
 * Neil: That's the discipline.
 * Vincent: That's pretty vacant, no?
 * Neil: Yeah, it is what it is. It's that, or we both better go do something else, pal.
 * Vincent: I don't know how to do anything else.
 * Neil: Neither do I.
 * Vincent: I don't much want to, either.
 * Neil: Neither do I.
 * Vincent: [laughs] You know, I have this, uh, recurring dream. I'm sitting at this big banquet table and all the victims of all the murders I ever worked are sitting at this table, and they're staring at me with these black eyeballs because they got eight-ball hemorrhages from the head wounds. And there they are, these big balloon people because I found them two weeks after they'd been under the bed. The neighbors reported the smell... and there they are, all of 'em, just sitting there.
 * Neil: What do they say?
 * Vincent: Nothing.
 * Neil: No talk?
 * Vincent: Nothing. Just... They don't have anything to say. See, we just look at each other. They look at me, and that's it. That's the dream.
 * Neil: I have one where I'm drowning. And I gotta wake myself up and start breathing or I'll die in my sleep.
 * Vincent: You know what that's about?
 * Neil: Yeah... having enough time.
 * Vincent: Enough time...to do what you want to do?
 * Neil: That's right.
 * Vincent: You doing it now?
 * Neil: No, not yet.
 * Vincent: You know, we're sitting here, you and I, like a couple of regular fellas. I mean, you do what you do. I do what I gotta do. And now that we've been face to face... if I'm there and I gotta put you away? [pause] I won't like it. But, I'll tell ya... if it's between you and some poor bastard whose wife you're gonna turn into a widow? Brother, you are going down.
 * Neil: There's a flip side to that coin. What if you do got me boxed in and I gotta put you down? [pause] 'Cause no matter what, you will not get in my way. We've been face to face, yeah. But I will not hesitate. Not for a second.
 * Vincent: [smiles] Maybe, that's the way it'll be. Or... who knows.
 * Neil: Or maybe we'll never see each other again.

 * [Vincent returns to the station after having coffee with McCauley]
 * Det.-Sgt. Casals: They dumped us.
 * Vincent: What?
 * Det. Bosko: They dumped us.
 * Vincent: Whaddaya mean, "they dumped us"?
 * Sgt. Drucker: Chris slipped his tail. He doesn't talk about their scores with Charlene, so there's nothing for me to get from Marciano, I tried.
 * Vincent: What about Cheritto?
 * Det.-Sgt. Casals: Same. Transponders got put on a bus to San Clemente.
 * Vincent: They dumped all our surveillance?!
 * Det.-Sgt. Casals: Yeah, at the same time: 9:00 PM.
 * Vincent: I had coffee with McCauley HALF AN HOUR AGO!
 * Det.-Sgt. Casals: We were on you! Then McCauley drives into LAX where surveillance can't fly over because of flight paths. His car's still there; he's gone.
 * Vincent: Does anybody have any idea where the fuck these people are?

 * Albert Torena: Where's your empathy, brother? It's a substance abuse problem.
 * Vincent: Empathy was yesterday. Today, you're wasting my motherfucking time.

 * [Vincent and his team are standing in the same spot Neil and his gang were standing looking at something.]
 * Vincent: I got an idea what they're looking at.... You know what they're looking at?... I mean — is this guy something, or is he something?... This crew is good!... You wanna know what they're looking at?
 * Dr. Bob: What?
 * Vincent: Us.... The L-A-P-D.... Po-lice Department.... We just got made...

 * Waingro: I had to get it on. He [the guard] was making a move. I had to get it on! [McCauley smashes Waingro's face into the table.]
 * Neil: Split's in the car. Took it out of ours, evenly. To make up for his full end. Because I want to pay off and get rid of this motherfucker right now.
 * [They walk out of the diner. Neil grabs Waingro by the nose and drags him between a lot of cars. Trejo opens up a car trunk lined with garbage bags. Neil forces Waingro to the ground, kicks him, holds him down, and draws his pistol out to shoot him]
 * Michael: HOLD IT!
 * [McCauley looks up, and sees a police car over on the main road, stopped. After a moment, the cruiser activates its lights and siren, makes a u-turn, and drives away. By the time Neil turns around, Waingro has vanished]

 * [Last words of the film, as McCauley lies dying]
 * Neil: Told you I'm never going back.
 * Vincent: Yeah.

This Summer It's All About Sticking Together. taglines

Steve Stifler

 * Oh, yeah! The Stif-meister's coming back to Grand Harbor! Deck the halls, bye-bye Great Falls, wipe my ass and lick my balls! It's Stifler time, baby! Whoo-hoo-hoo!
 * Jim, can't you keep your shirt on? You're scaring the chicks away.
 * [Grabbing his crotch] Shake this!
 * [Thinks champagne is being poured onto his head when he's actually being urinated on from the balcony] That's it, bathe the Stifmeister. Ohhh, Ohhhh that's GREAT! How'd you get it so nice and warm? Oh, I can taste the bubbles! Actually, I can't.
 * When a girl tells you how many guys she's slept with, multiply it by three and that's the real number. Didn't you fuckers learn anything in college?
 * Tantric, what the fuck is Tantric?
 * [When walking past a girl in a short skirt before a lecture] Ooh! There's little hearts on her panties! There's little hearts on her panties!
 * Ladies, I am down with the funky shit.
 * [answers the phone after awkward situation with Jim and Finch] Stif-meister's palace of love--uh, straight love.
 * Where are the fucking females?
 * Oh God, I kissed Jim.
 * [after Finch describes watering a ficus as a "pure tantric moment"] Finch, stay the fuck away from that ficus. That is a jizz-free ficus.
 * Finch, fist yourself!
 * Eat shit, 'Shit break'.
 * Whack away, Jim. Whack away.

Jim Levenstein

 * I kind of super-glued myself to, uh, myself.
 * That's a lot of flutes.
 * This is my first time, uh, si-since my first time.
 * My name is Petey, and I have gigantic balls!
 * But we never even had friendly hello sex.

Michelle Flaherty

 * Jim?! holy potatoes!
 * This one time--um, here.

Jim's Dad

 * My son is sitting here right now with his hand glued to his penis. [Stands up to the women], but that doesn't mean anything to you, does it? Because you don't have a penis, or maybe you do.
 * [to parents of girl they caught in bed with Jim] Hi, I'm Jim's Dad. You must be the parents of this young lady, I... didn't get your daughter's name, but I hope my son did.
 * Hey. Keep it real, homies.

Others
In 2023 I will stick my penis in Suzanne Dunn's bellybutton.
 * Kevin: My brother said by the end of the summer I'll get the big picture, and I see it. No matter what, times change, things are different. But the problem is, I don't want them to be.
 * Finch: [talking to a picture of Stifler's Mom] How did you do that magic you did?
 * Trucker: Squeeze his ass son, you'll like it!
 * Danielle: [Jim has Amber's dildo while under the bed] Johnny West is missing.

Dialogue

 * [Two uniformed police officers break up Stifler's house party.]
 * Officer: Where's Steve Stifler?
 * [Stifler enters from the balcony incident, wet and looking distraught]
 * Stifler: I got peed on.

 * [Jim is on the roof with his hand in his pants looking at the paint truck but can't get to the paint thinner. A local sheriff's deputy pulls up, chirps his siren, and gets out of his vehicle.]
 * Deputy: Hands where we can see 'em! [Jim raises his left hand with the porn tape glued to it] Both hands! Get the other hand up, goddamn it!
 * Jim: I can't! I can't! I'm glued! I'm glued. Sorry.

 * [Two uniformed police officers are walking up to Stifler's house to break up his party.]
 * Officer 1: This is the Stifler house, isn't it? You ever see Mrs. Stifler?
 * Officer 2: Jeez, what a MILF.

 * [Jim's Dad sees Jim looking at pictures of Nadia]
 * Jim's Dad: Ah, yes, the one that got away.
 * Jim: Yeah.
 * Jim's Dad: Yeah. Well, evidently you two made quite the handsome couple on the Internet. Oh, I didn't see it. It, uh, was brought up at a PTA meeting.

 * Jim: Nadia will be expecting filet mignon, okay, and all I'm going to be able to give her is rump roast.
 * Finch: Rump roast...
 * Oz: What are you so worried about? You've had experience since Nadia!
 * Jim: Ah, yes, you would be referring to the flute fetish band geek, who made me her bitch and then ditched me after prom.

 * Male EMT: [when Stifler jumps onto the ambulance where Jim is being treated] Excuse me, sir, are you a family member?
 * Stifler: Fuck no, this is just too good to miss!
 * Male EMT: Okay sir, you're just gonna have to wait here. All right?
 * Stifler: [Giving Jim the thumbs-up as the ambulance drives away] Ha-ha! This summer's turned out to be great!

 * Jim's Dad: You may be Jimbo, or Jumbo, or Jimbodini to those guys in there, but there are still two people who haven't forgotten where James Emmanuel Levenstein came from. We're awful proud of you son.
 * Jim: Thanks, Dad.
 * Jim's Dad: Don't forget your penis cream.

 * Kevin: So, how are the twig and giggle-berries this morning?
 * Jim: Oh, very colorful, my dick looks like a paint-by-numbers.
 * Stifler: Jim, you're the only guy I know whose dick needs an instruction manual.

 * Trumpet Kid: Are you a guest? Guests belong in the auditorium, you can't be here!
 * Jim: Do you know where I could find Michelle Flaherty?
 * Trumpet Kid: Guests bring food. Food attracts animals. This one time, a bear came, and then the bear had to be destroyed, which means they shot it in the head with a rifle, and killed it, and it died.
 * Jim: Yeah, you must know Michelle.

 * Jim: Was I any good that night?
 * Michelle: Oh, Jeez, how could I forget? [pregnant pause] You sucked. You didn't know what the hell you were doin'. But wasn't it fun, even though you were so terrible?
 * Jim: I-I'm sorry, "terrible?"
 * Michelle: I've had worse.
 * Jim: Oh.
 * Michelle: Oh, sorry. I just, ah, I could give you some pointers, if you want.

 * Michelle: Okay, pretend I'm a hot girl. Now what do you want to do?
 * Jim: I want to feel your boobs.
 * Michelle: No, you dingbat! You don't just go groping away! You gotta pre-heat the oven before you stick in the turkey!

 * [Jim is kissing Michelle's collar bone]
 * Michelle: Good Jim. Ooh, you're making me wet.
 * Jim: Holy shit, really?
 * Michelle: No, I was just saying that so you could practice.
 * Jim: 'Course.

 * Jim: This is good, this is good. [looks down at his erect penis] Obviously.
 * Michelle: Oh! Uh, Gilligan's Island, Mr. Howell!
 * Jim: Uh, what?
 * Michelle: You've gotta control yourself and think of something non-sexual. I haven't even touched you yet and you're turning into the Sears Tower!

 * Michelle: Now don't freak out. I'm gonna do something to push your threshold.
 * [loud thumping/sucking noise]
 * Jim: Ow, that's cold. What is that?
 * Michelle: I just shoved a trumpet in your ass. Aren't instruments fun?

 * Stifler: Holy shit dude, I found a dildo! [Stifler runs round the house] Dildo! Dildo! Dildo! Big blue rubber dicks for everyone! The people demand rubber dicks!
 * Jim: What are you doing?
 * Stifler: Looking for more lesbian artifacts!
 * [hands Jim the dildo]
 * Jim: Where did you get this?
 * Stifler: Finch's ass.
 * [later]
 * [trying to return the dildo Stifler found]
 * Jim: Which room, man? Which room?
 * Stifler: I can't remember shit, man, I was too excited! I'm in a lesbian stronghold!

 * [The two "lesbians" are making the guys play with each other, in exchange for the girls playing with each other. Jim and Stifler give each other a split-second long peck on the lips.]
 * Jim: That counted!
 * Stifler: That totally counted!
 * Danielle: That's the way you kiss your mother.
 * Stifler: [angry whisper to Finch] Don't you say anything!
 * [later]
 * [the girls request handjobs: Jim and Finch doing Stifler]
 * Stifler: It's okay, it's okay. I know what I have to do.
 * [starts undoing his shorts]
 * Stifler: I have to keep this party going. I'm taking one for the team.
 * [Finch and Jim run away]
 * Jim: Mother of God!
 * [Stifler runs after them, zipping up his shorts]
 * Stifler: Come on you pussies, we had 'em!
 * Finch: I am not touching that!
 * Jim: Put that thing away Stifler!
 * Stifler: Why can't you guys be team players, huh? I was the one doing all the sacrificing!

 * [Jim and Stifler have finished kissing and both nearly throw up]
 * Stifler: Dude, you're a fucking lousy kisser.
 * Jim: I wasn't trying! That's not fair! (to girls) I wasn't trying there. I'm really bett...
 * Danielle: No judgment.
 * Jim: Wait a second. You were trying?!
 * Stifler:Fuck no!
 * Jim: You were trying?!
 * Stifler: YOU were trying! Oh God! I kissed Jim!

 * Jim: What are you doing here?
 * Stifler's Brother: Pussy, man! I'm here for the pussy.
 * Jim: [nonchalant] Take a number.

 * Heather: [Having phone sex with Oz] Oz, what should I do now?
 * Stifler: [Listening in] Oh, Heather, baby, why don't you tell me my dick is as big as Stifler's?
 * Oz: Stifler, get off!
 * Stifler: I am getting off, listening to the two of you! Keep going!

 * Michelle's Friend: You are so sweet. He is special.
 * Michelle: He's my bitch.

 * Trumpet Kid: You suck, retard.
 * Jim: I'm not retarded. I'm a very special boy. [Jim uses the slide of the trombone to hit the kid in the face.]

 * Stifler: You're a disgrace to men everywhere. I mean, look at the Stif-meister. I got laid 23 times this year, and I'm not counting the hummer I got in the library stacks, baby!
 * Oz: Here's a new idea for you, Stifler. You find a girl, you two become best friends and you don't bother counting how many times you have sex with each other: you just laugh at the people who do count.
 * Stifler: Here's a new idea for you: I'll get you a spoon so you can eat my ass.

 * Jessica: If a guy tells you how many girls he's hooked up with, it's not even close to that. You take that number and divide it by three, then you get the real total. OK, so if Kevin is saying it's been three girls it's more like one or none.
 * Vicky: None?
 * Jessica: The rule of three. It's an exact science. Consistent as gravity.

 * Jim: [Noticing the women's natural attraction to Oz] Amazing.
 * Stifler: Yes. The force is strong in that one.

 * Jim: Nadia, please don't take this the wrong way - You are everything I used to want in a woman, and as much as I'm really, really going to regret this, I think I need to be with someone else.
 * Nadia: You--you want the band geek?
 * Jim: Nadia, I am a band geek. I just never joined the band.

 * Sherman: Life's a bitch, isn't it? [No response from Nadia] It's all right. You don't have to say anything. I'm used to girls ignoring me...or making fun of me. "Come on, Sherman. Be the Sherminator."
 * Nadia: [laughs a little] Like the movie. How clever.
 * Sherman: I get it, okay? Maybe I am a geek. Whatever.
 * Nadia: [finding her geek] Yes. You are.
 * Sherman: All right. I am the Sherminator, a sophisticated Sex-Robot sent through time to change the future for one lucky lady.
 * Nadia: I am lucky lady?
 * Sherman: That's right Nadia, you've been targeted for Shermination. Come with me if you want to live.
 * Nadia: [playing along] Oh, no. Help. [Nadia and Sherman go upstairs as Stifler and Jessica look in disbelief] Fuck me, geek!
 * Sherman: [pulled into bedroom] Affirmative!
 * Stifler and Jessica: No fucking way!
 * [They look at each other thinking maybe, but...]
 * Jessica: Forget it.
 * Stifler: Like you have a chance.

 * [Stifler's brother shows off two girls he picked up]
 * Stifler: Brilliant. You found lesbians. Good luck trying to break through that force field.
 * Danielle: Lesbians?
 * Amber: We never said that.
 * Stifler: What?
 * Amber: We never said that.
 * Stifler: Oh, oh, man. I will do anything, anything to sleep with you chicks, okay? I'll grab every guy's ass in this room. I'll caress it, even! I'll even shave some ass if they need it! Oh, yeah! You heard me! I will kiss everybody here! Dudes, chicks, everybody! Because I am comfortable with my sexuality!

 * [Finch and Stifler's Mom are having sex in her car]
 * Stifler's Mom: Oh, Finchy, I missed you.
 * Finch: Oh, Janine, Janine.
 * Stifler's Mom: Call me "Stifler's Mom".
 * Finch: Oh-AH! [We hear him having a violent orgasm, setting off the car alarm] Ah! Stifler's Mo-o-o-o-o-m!!

 * Lady: Son couldn't you have left that disgusting thing at home?
 * Jim's Dad: Excuse me?
 * Lady: Well that kind of material is offensive to me.
 * Jim's Dad: Oh well, we're sorry but you see my son couldn't leave it at home cos he's having a bit of a medical emergency.
 * Jim: It's ok Dad.
 * Jim's Dad: Your opinion in his taste in video rentals is not a priority lady, it's a the bottem of the totempole.(Pause) My son is sitting here right now with his hand glued to his penis, but that doesn't mean anything to you does it? Cos you don't have a penis, or maybe you do.
 * Jim: DAD!
 * Jim's Dad: Sorry it just bugs me when people speak before they think. How're you doing son?
 * Jim: I've been better.

 * [Stifler is approached by two High School kids]
 * Kid 1: Hey are you Steve Stifler?
 * Stifler: Yes I am.
 * Kid 1: Well thank you for throwing this awsome party man.
 * Kid 2: Yeah the cops bust all our parties now.
 * Stifler: Well I put the word out so High School chicks would come. Just cos you fuckers don't have dicks doesn't make it right for you to be here.
 * Kid 2: Can I ask you a question?
 * Stifler: Sure son.
 * Kid 2: Is it true that Paul Finch nailed your mom?
 * Stifler: Sons of bitches.

 * Kid: Red leader what is your position?
 * Stifler: I'm touching his ass, I'm touching his ass, I'm touching his ass, I'm touching his ass!

Hotel Rwanda

Hotel Rwanda is a 2004 film about a Hutu who is the manager of a hotel in Kigali, Rwanda during the 1994 genocide. While striving to protect his family and hundreds of Tutsi refugees from the Hutu mass-murderers, he faces an additional struggle to overcome international indifference to the country's plight.
 * Directed by Terry George. Written by Terry George and Keir Pearson.

When the world closed its eyes, he opened his arms.

Paul Rusesabagina

 * There will be no rescue, no intervention force. We can only save ourselves. Many of you know influential people abroad, you must call these people. You must tell them what will happen to us... say goodbye. But when you say goodbye, say it as though you are reaching through the phone and holding their hand. Let them know that if they let go of that hand, you will die. We must shame them into sending help.

Georges Rutaganda

 * [first lines, voiceover] When people ask me, good listeners, why do I hate all the Tutsi, I say, "Read our history." The Tutsi were collaborators for the Belgian colonists, they stole our Hutu land, they whipped us. Now they have come back, these Tutsi rebels. They are cockroaches. They are murderers. Rwanda is our Hutu land. We are the majority. They are a minority of traitors and invaders. We will squash this infestation. We will wipe out the RPF rebels. This is RTLM, Hutu power radio. Stay alert. Watch your neighbours.

Other

 * Jack: [walking towards the bus carrying all the whites who are leaving Rwanda while the blacks are left behind] Jesus Christ, I'm so ashamed!
 * RTLM broadcast: Listen to me good people of Rwanda. Terrible news. Horrible news. Our great president is murdered by the Tutsi cockroaches. They tricked him into signing their phony peace agreement then they shot his plane from the sky. It is time to clear the great brush, good Hutus of Rwanda. We must cut the tall trees. Cut all tall trees down! Let us get to work good Hutus! Find the traitors! Let none escape!
 * RTLM broadcast: The Tutsi cockroaches of the rebel army must be denied recruits! Come on good Hutus! The graves are not yet full!
 * End titles: Paul Rusesabagina sheltered 1268 Tutsi and Hutu refugees at the Milles Collines Hotel in Kigali. ...Paul and Tatiana now live in Belgium with their children, Roger, Diane, Lys, Tresor and their adopted nieces Anais and Carine. ...Tatiana's brother Thomas and his wife Fedens were never found. ...In 2002, General Augustin Bizimungu was captured in Angola and transported to the U.N. War Crimes Tribunal in Tanzania. At the same tribunal the Interhamwe leader George Rutaganda was sentenced to life in prison. ...The genocide ended in July 1994, when the Tutsi rebels drove the Hutu army and the Interhamwe militia across the border into the Congo. ...They left behind almost a million corpses.

Dialogue

 * Dube: Oh, that is a fine cigar sir!
 * Paul: This is a Cohiba cigar, each one is worth 10,000 Francs.
 * Dube: 10,000 Francs!
 * Paul: Yes yes, but it's worth more to me than 10,000 Francs.
 * Dube: What do you mean, sir?
 * Paul: If I give a businessman 10,000 Francs, what does that matter to him? He is rich. But, if I give him a Cohiba Cigar straight from Havana, Cuba? Hey, Now that is style Dube.
 * Dube: Style!

 * Tatiana: My brother is dead, they would never leave their children.
 * Paul: Perhaps they could not make it home Tatiana, they're hiding. Please, can you return and bring the girls back here to us?
 * Pat Archer: I can't, there are Interahamwe roadblocks everywhere. (pauses; Tatiana is weeping) When I reached the orphanage, the Interahamwe were there. They already started killing children. They made me watch. Then, there was one girl, she had her little sister wrapped on her back. (weeping) As they're about to chop her, she cried out to me, "please don't let them kill me. I... I promise I won't be Tutsi anymore."
 * Tatiana: I... I can't- (walks away)
 * Pat Archer: They're targeting Tutsi children, Paul, to wipe out the next generation.

 * Jack: Listen, sorry about earlier. If I knew you that you were in there, I wouldn't-
 * Paul: I am glad that you have shot this footage and that the world will see it. It is the only way we have a chance that people might intervene.
 * Jack: (pauses) Yeah and if no one intervenes? It's still a good thing to show?
 * Paul: How can they not intervene? When they witness such atrocities?
 * Jack: I think that when people see this footage, they'll say, "Oh my God, that's horrible," and then go on eating their dinners.

 * Paul: You know, I admire you general. How do you keep calm of your men in such madness?
 * General Bizimungu: I am a strong man Paul.
 * Paul: I wish I were more like you. I mean look at my staff (pointing at Gregoire flirting with a woman) he won't work, listens to no one.
 * General Bizimungu: (Sees Gregoire) He is staff?
 * Paul: Oh yes.
 * General Bizimungu: (Walks over to Gregoire and throws ice bucket on to him) Get back to work you slob! (Hitting Gregoire) Go!

 * Paul: Congratulations Colonel, you have performed a man of miracle.
 * Colonel Oliver: Congratulations?
 * Paul: Yes sir.
 * Colonel Oliver: (drinking) You should spit in my face.
 * Paul: Excuse me, Colonel?
 * Colonel Oliver: You’re dirt. We think you’re dirt, Paul.
 * Paul: Who is we?
 * Colonel Oliver: The West. All the super powers. Everything you believe in, Paul. They think you’re dirt. They think you’re dung. You’re worthless!
 * Paul: I am afraid I don't understand what you are saying.
 * Colonel Oliver: Oh, come on, don't bullshit me, Paul. You're the smartest man here. You got 'em all eating out of your hands. You could own this frigging hotel, except for one thing: you're black. You're not even a nigger. You're an African. They’re not gonna stay, Paul. They’re not gonna stop this slaughter.

 * Paul: You have no whiskey?
 * George: No whiskey, no spirits. Your rich guests will have to do without their scotch. Anyway, Paul, I have bled that cow enough now.
 * Paul: What are you saying, George?
 * George: Your rich cockroaches at the hotel... their money is no good to them anymore. Soon, all of the Tutsis will be dead.
 * Paul: You do not honestly believe that you can kill them all.
 * George: And why not? Why not? We are halfway there already. Oh, and Paul, I will give you a crate of soft drinks for the kids. No charge. [To his men] Ten bags of beans! Come! Put those in the van, you! [To Paul] Let me give you a tip my friend, our generals in the army say 'do not go near the Mille Collines or they will send the Belgian soldiers back here'. But soon, those generals will have gone, and we will be in charge. It is time to butcher your cow for the meat. [Pauses] Maybe you can help us Paul. You have some very important traitors at your hotel. Now, if we were to get them, then maybe we could let you have one of two cockroaches of your own. You understand?
 * Paul: It is almost dawn, George. We really must be going.
 * George: Take the river road back. It's clear.

 * Paul: (discussing about massacre by the river road) Hundreds? it was too many to count.
 * Dube: (pauses) Why are people so cruel?
 * Paul: Hatred? Insanity? I don't know.

 * General Bizimungu: I am going to take you with us, to our new headquarters in Gitarama.
 * Paul: I do not want to go to Gitarama, sir.
 * General Bizimungu: Well, you can't go back to the hotel. The crazy men are on their way there now.
 * Paul: General, we must go back, so that I can get my family!
 * General Bizimungu: Trust me. We are better off here.
 * Paul: General....these are difficult times. We need to help one another.
 * General Bizimungu: And what help can I get from you, Paul?
 * Paul: You are a marked man, sir.
 * General Bizimungu: How so?
 * Paul: You are on a list! The Americans have you on their list as a war criminal!
 * General Bizimungu: Paul, I am sick and tired of your lies!
 * Paul: Are you stupid, General?! How do you think these people operate?! You sit here with five stars on your chest; who do you think they're coming after?! (Bizimungu realizes what Paul just said) We will go to Gitarama, and you'll stay on that list.
 * General Bizimungu: I committed no war crimes.
 * Paul: Who will tell them? You need me to tell them how you helped at the hotel. They blame you for all their misfortunes - they say you lead the massacres!
 * General Bizimungu: I lead no massacres!
 * Paul: Do you think they will believe you?!
 * General Bizimungu: You will tell them the truth!
 * Paul: I will tell them nothing unless you help me! (sees Bizimungu attempting to pull out his handgun) What are you going to do, shoot me? Shoot me. Please, shoot me. It would be a blessing, I will pay you to shoot my family. You cannot hurt me.

Helen Garner

Helen Garner (born November 7, 1942) is an Australian novelist, short-story writer, screenwriter and journalist.

Honour & Other People's Children (1980)

 * 'He claims,' said Jenny tactfully, 'That he flew through a radioactive cloud thirty years ago and that it didn't do him any harm - thus it's all right to mine uranium. A fine piece of Australian political reasoning.'
 * Page 6.

 * 'What's funny?' said Pin, shifting uncomfortably in the hospital bed.
 * 'I was looking at your mouth. It's exactly the same as mine.'
 * 'Small and mean,' said Pin, whose devotion to the church did not damp her vulgar sense of humour. 'Wanna see a cat's bum?' She pursed her lips into a tight bunch.  They snickered in the quiet ward.
 * 'You'll never go to heaven,' said Kathleen. 'You're rude.'
 * Page 21.

 * 'Didn't this used to be our dining-room table back at Sutherland Street, Frank?' said Kathleen.
 * 'Yep. Four dollars at the Anchorage, remember?  That was when I cornered the market in cane chairs, too.'
 * 'Come off it! We only had three.'
 * 'Yes, but the price had doubled by the following Saturday.'
 * Page 26.

Other Peoples Children (1980)

 * Revolution begins in the kitchen.

 * 'In my profession I have learned that women can bear more pain than men.'
 * 'Are you a doctor, sir?'
 * 'No. A shoe repairer.'
 * Page 123.

The Children's Bach (1984)

 * 'Course I care. I always care.  But there's no point in making a song and dance about it, like that night he stayed here.  Know something?  There's only one thing that'll bring 'em back, and that's indifference.  The one thing you can't fake.'
 * 'But you are faking it.'
 * 'At the moment I might be. But as soon as it stops being faked and starts being real, he'll turn up.  Rule number one of modern life.'
 * Page 80.

Postcards from Surfers (1985)
A volume of short stories.

 * Her handwriting in these pencilled jottings, made forty-five years ago, is exactly as it is today: this makes me suspect, when I am not with her, that she is a closet intellectual.
 * In the title story Postcards from Surfers.
 * Garner describing her mother.

Cosmo Cosmolino (1992)
A collection of three linked stories, Recording Angel, A Vigil, and Cosmo Cosmolino.

Recording Angel part:

 * 'That,' I said, 'would be a blessing. There are so many things I'd like to forget I hardly know what would be left standing, if I ever got started.'
 * Page 4.

 * On Melbourne summer mornings the green trams go rolling in stately progress down tunnels thick with leaves: the bright air carries along the avenue their patient chime, the chattering of their wheels
 * Page 5.

 * 'It's rather like a Poe story, isn't it,' said Patrick luxuriously, unfocusing his eyes. 'A person sees the chance of a better life passing by, and he makes as if to call out' - he flung one arm in the imploring gesture of a soul in torment - 'but something in his nature makes him hesitate.  He pauses ... he closes his lips ... he steps back ... and then he slides down, and down, and down.'
 * Page 8.

 * And always Melbourne, Melbourne, Melbourne, over and over the same photo in glaring greens and reds, of a tram, huffy, blunderous, manoeuvring itself with pole akimbo round the tight corner where Bourke Street enters Spring.
 * Page 14, postcards the narrator sent.

Cosmo Cosmolino section:

 * Ideas came swarming through her, and like many people who labour in the obsession of solitude, she lacked the detachment to challenge them.
 * Page 57, describing Maxine.

 * 'Crap,' said Janet. 'He was a whinger and he wrote it down.  That's not poetry.'
 * Page 78.

 * 'The devil's everywhere,' he said. 'Not just at Brunswick one day and somewhere else the next.  He's everywhere.'
 * Page 101.

 * The rain began again. It fell heavily, easily, with no meaning or intention but the fulfilment of its own nature, which was to fall and fall.
 * Page 150.

 * Out in deep space the planets sweep, inexorable, along their splendid orbits. Maxine bowed her head.  From now on she would take the gods' dictation.
 * Page 166.

 * Our minds are not hopeful, thought Janet; but our nerves are made of optimistic stuff.
 * Page 221.
