Mindless zombies capitulating to an oppressive system.
Bala: Hi. Wanna dance?
Z-4195: ABSOLUTELY!
Z-4195: Wow, the whole colony is here. Hey, that guy owes me money!
Z-4195: I'm supposed to do everything for the colony? What about my needs?
Z-4195: I've got to believe there's someplace better for me. Otherwise I'll just curl up into a larval position and weep.

I chose you because you were the most pathetic bug in the joint.

Foreman: Look, I got orders, and those orders say dig.
Z-4195: What if someone ordered you to jump off a bridge? You-you...
[Foreman looks thoughtful]
Z-4195: Oh, brother. I'm asking the wrong guy here.
Z-4195: There you have it: your basic boy-meets-girl, boy-likes-girl, boy-changes-the-underlying-social-order story.
Z-4195: Okay, I've gotta give myself a positive attitude. A good attitude even though I'm utterly insignificant. I'm, I'm insignificant... but with attitude!
As Good As It Gets (1997)
Melvin: I might be the only person on the face of the earth that knows you're the greatest woman on earth. I might be the only one who appreciates how amazing you are in every single thing that you do, and how you are with Spencer, "Spence," and in every single thought that you have, and how you say what you mean, and how you almost always mean something that's all about being straight and good. I think most people miss that about you, and I watch them, wondering how they can watch you bring their food, and clear their tables and never get that they just met the greatest woman alive. And the fact that I get it makes me feel good, about me.
Carol: Do you want to dance?
Melvin: I've been thinking about that for a while.
Carol: [standing up] Well?
Melvin: No.
Carol: To hell with sex! It was better than sex! We held each other! What I needed, he gave me great.
Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997)
Vanessa Kensington: Mr. Powers, I would never have sex with you, ever!
If you were the last man on earth and I was the last woman on earth, and the future of
the human race depended on our having sex, simply for procreation, I still would not have
sex with you.
Austin Powers: What's your point, Vanessa?
Austin Powers: Come again?
Alotta Fagina: Alotta Fagina
Austin Powers: Oh, I'm sorry, I'm just not getting it, it sounds like you
said your name was a lot of um... never mind!
Alotta Fagina: How dare you break wind before me!
Austin Powers: I'm sorry I didn't realize it was your turn.
B:
Back to the Future (1985)
George McFly: Last night, Darth Vader came down from planet Vulcan and told me that if I didn't take Lorraine out that he'd melt my brain.
Dr. Emmett Brown: Don't worry! As long as you hit that wire with the connecting hook at precisely eighty-eight miles per hour the instant the lightning strikes the tower ... everything will be fine!
Back to the Future Part II (1989)
Dr. Emmett Brown: The time-traveling is just too dangerous. Better that I devote myself to study the other great mystery of the universe: women!
Dr. Emmett Brown: No! It can't be! I just sent you back to the future!
Marty McFly: You did, oh, I know, you did send me back to the future,
but I'm back -- I'm back FROM the future.
Dr. Emmett Brown: Great Scott!
[faints]
Back to the Future Part III (1990)
Dr. Emmett Brown: The future is whatever you make it, so make it a good one.
Beautiful Mind, A (2001)
Nash: I find you very attractive. Your assertiveness tells me that you feel the same way about me. But ritual remains that we must do a series of platonic actions before we can have intercourse. But all I really want to do is have sex with you as soon as possible.
Charles: There's no such thing as "for sure". That's the only sure thing I don't know.
Nash: I don't exactly know what I am required to say in order for you to have intercourse with me. But could we assume that I said all that. I mean essentially we are talking about fluid exchange right? So could we go just straight to the sex.
Alicia: I need to believe, that something extraordinary is possible.
Nash: Perhaps it is good to have a beautiful mind, but an even greater gift is to discover a beautiful heart.
Nash: Alicia, does our relationship warrant long-term commitment?
I need some kind of proof, some kind of verifiable, empirical data.
Alicia: I'm sorry, just give me a moment to redefine my girlish
notions of romance.
Alicia: How big is the universe?
Nash: Infinite.
Alicia: How do you know?
Nash: I know because all the data indicates it's infinite.
Alicia: But it hasn't been proven yet.
Nash: No.
Alicia: You haven't seen it.
Nash: No.
Alicia: How do you know for sure?
Nash: I don't, I just believe it.
Alicia: It's the same with love I guess.
Alicia: [about the stars] I once tried to count them all.
I, actually, made it to 4,348.
Nash: You are exceptionally odd.
Alicia: I bet you're very popular with the girls.
Nash: It is only in the mysterious equations of love that logic or reason can be found.
Nash: [to Alicia] You are the reason I am. You are all my reasons.
Big (1988)

Blade Runner (1982)
Deckard: She's a replicant.
Tyrell: I'm impressed, Mr. Deckard.
How many questions does it normally take?
Deckard: I don't get it...
Tyrell: How many?
Deckard: Twenty, thirty, cross-referenced.
Tyrell: But with Rachael it took more than a hundred.
Deckard: She doesn't know.
Tyrell: She is beginning to suspect I think.
Deckard: Beginning to suspect? How can it not know what it is?
Tyrell: "More human than human" is our motto.
Roy: I've done... questionable things.
Tyrell: Also extraordinary things. Revel in your time.
Roy: Nothing the god of biomechanics wouldn't let you into heaven for.
Roy: I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
Gaff: It's too bad she won't live! But then again, who does?
Blues Brothers, The (1980)
Jake Blues: I ran out of gas! I got a flat tire! I didn't have change for cab fare! I lost my tux at the cleaners! I locked my keys in the car! An old friend came in from out of town! Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!
Police Dispatcher: Use of unnecessary violence in the apprehension of the Blues Brothers HAS been approved.
[Carrie flame throws a propane tank next to a phone booth they are in - it blows sky high and
crashes down to earth - the phone breaking in half]

City of Angels (1998)
Maggie: When they ask me what I liked best, I'll say it was you.

Maggie: That's pretty flimsy proof.
Seth: Close your eyes... what am I doing?
Maggie: You're touching me.
Seth: How do you know?
Maggie: I can feel it!
Seth: You should learn to use that more often.
Seth: Let's go.
Maggie: Where?
Seth: Anywhere.
Maggie: What'll we do?
Seth: Anything.

Seth: Some things are true whether you believe in them or not.
Conspiracy Theory (1997)
Jerry: Love gives you wings. It makes you fly. I don't even call it love. I call it Geronimo. When you're in love, you'll jump right from the top of the Empire State and you won't care, screaming "Geronimo" the whole way down. I love her so bad, I just... whoa, she wrecks me. I'd die for her.
Jerry: I love you.
Alice: Jerry, no, no, you don't love me.
Jerry: Sure I do.
Alice: No, no.
Jerry: I don't?
Alice: I love you.
Jerry: Now you tell me.
Contact (1997)
David Drumlin: I know you must think this is all very unfair.
Maybe that's an understatement. What you don't know is I agree. I wish the world was
a place where fair was the bottom line, where the kind of idealism you showed at the
hearing was rewarded, not taken advantage of. Unfortunately, we don't live in that world.
Dr. Eleanor Ann Arroway: Funny, I've always believed that the world is
what we make of it.
Executive: We must confess that your proposal seems less like science
and more like science fiction.
Dr. Eleanor Ann Arroway: Science fiction. You're right, it's crazy.
In fact, it's even worse than that, it's nuts. You wanna hear something really nutty?
I heard of a couple guys who wanna build something called an airplane, you know you get
people to go in, and fly around like birds, it's ridiculous, right? And what about breaking
the sound barrier, or rockets to the moon? Atomic energy, or a mission to Mars? Science
fiction, right? Look, all I'm asking is for you to just have the tiniest bit of vision.
You know, to just sit back for one minute and look at the big picture. To take a chance
on something that just might end up being the most profoundly impactful moment for humanity,
for the history... of history.
[Ellie challenges Palmer to prove the existence of God]
Palmer Joss: Did you love your father?
Dr. Eleanor Ann Arroway: What?
Palmer Joss: Your dad. Did you love him?
Dr. Eleanor Ann Arroway: Yes, very much.
Palmer Joss: Prove it.
Eleanor Ann Arroway: Dad, do you think there's people on other planets?
Theodore Arroway: I don't know, Sparks. But I guess I'd say if it
is just us... seems like an awful waste of space.
Jay Leno: So there's life on other planets. That's sure going to change the Miss Universe contest!
Alien: You're an interesting species, an interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other.
Dr. Eleanor Ann Arroway: So what's more likely? That a mysterious, all-powerful God created the universe, and then decided not to leave a single evidence of his existence? Or that He simply doesn't exist at all, and that we created Him, so that we wouldn't have to feel so small and lonely?
Cube (1997)
Quentin: For Christ's sake, Worth, what do you live for?
Don't you have a wife, or a girlfriend, or something?
Worth: Nope.
I've gotta pretty fine collection of pornography.
Worth: I have nothing to live for out there.
Leaven: What is out there?
Worth: Endless human stupidity.
Leaven: I can live with that.
D:
Demolition Man (1993)
Lenina Huxley: Would you like to have sex?
John Spartan: With you?
[Lenina nods]
John Spartan: Oh, yeah.
[After futuristic, contact-free "sex."]
John Spartan: I was thinkin' we could do it the old-fashioned way.
Lenina Huxley: You mean... *fluid transfer*?
Dogma (1999)
Bartleby: You know, here's what I don't get about you. You know for a fact that there is a God.
You have been in his presence. He's spoken to you personally, and yet I just heard you claim to be an atheist.
Loki: I just like to fuck with the clergy, man. I just love it.
I just love to keep those guys on their toes.
Serendipity: I have issues with anyone who treats faith as a burden instead of a blessing. You people don't celebrate your faith; you mourn it.
Bethany: Sex is a joke in heaven?
Metatron: The way I understand it, it's mostly a joke down here, too.
Bethany: You knew Jesus?
Rufus: Knew him? Nigga owes me twelve bucks.
Bethany: I don't want this, it's too big.
Metatron: That's what Jesus said. Yes, I had to tell him. And you can imagine how that hurt
the Father--not to be able to tell the Son Himself because one word from His lips would destroy the boy's frail
human form? So I was forced to deliver the news to a scared child who wanted nothing more than to play with other
children. I had to tell this little boy that He was God's only Son, and that it meant a life of persecution and eventual
crucifixion at the hands of the very people He came to enlighten and redeem. He begged me to take it back, as if I could.
He begged me to make it all untrue. And I'll let you in on something, Bethany, something I've never told anyone before...
If I had the power, I would have.
[On Christ]
Rufus: He likes to hear people talk. Says it sounds like music to Him. Christ loved to sit around the fire
and listen to me and the other guys. Whenever we were going on about unimportant shit, He always had a smile on His face.
Bethany: Jesus didn't have any brothers or sisters. Mary was a virgin.
Rufus: Mary gave birth to CHRIST without having known a man's touch, that's true. But she did have
a husband. And do you really think he'd have stayed married to her all those years if he wasn't getting laid?
The nature of God and the Virgin Mary, those are leaps of faith. But to believe a married couple never got down?
Well, that's just plain gullibility.
Bethany: What's he like? God?
Metatron: Lonely. But funny. He's got a great sense of humor.
Serendipity: When are you people going to learn? It's not about who's right or wrong. No denomination's nailed it yet, and they never will because they're all too self-righteous to realize that it doesn't matter what you have faith in, just that you have faith. Your hearts are in the right place, but your brains need to wake up.
Dumb & Dumber (1994)
Lloyd: When I met Mary, I got that old fashioned romantic feeling,
where I'd do anything to bone her.
Harry: That's a special feeling.
Harry: I can't believe we drove around all day, and there's not
a single job in this town. There is nothing, nada, zip!
Lloyd: Yeah! Unless you wanna work fourty hours a week.
Harry: Yeah I called her up, she gave me a bunch of crap about me not listening to her, or something, I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention.
F:
Few Good Men, A (1992)
Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee: You don't need a patch on your arm to have honor.
Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee: Oh, I forgot. You were sick the day they taught law at law school.
Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee: It was oregano, Dave,
it was a dime bag of oregano.
Lieutenant Dave Spradling: Yeah, well,
your client thought it was marijuana.
Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee: My client's a moron, that's not against the law.
Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee: Maybe if we work at it we can get Dawson charged with Kennedy assassination.
Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee: Whoa! Hold it! We gotta take a boat?
Barnes: Yes, sir. To get to the other side of the bay.
Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee: Nobody said anything about a boat.
Barnes: Is there a problem, sir?
Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee: No, no problem.
I'm just not that crazy about boats, that's all.
Lieutenant Commander JoAnne Galloway: Jesus Christ, Kaffee,
you're in the Navy for crying out loud.
Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee: I figured since we were out of witnesses,
I might as well drink a little.
Lieutenant Commander JoAnne Galloway: We can still win this.
Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee: Maybe you should drink a little.
Fifth Element, The (1997)

Fight Club (1999)
Narrator: This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time.
Tyler Durden: You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.
Narrator: On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
Tyler Durden: The things you own end up owning you.

Forrest Gump: I see them in my Home Economics class all the time.
G:
Girl, Interrupted (1999)
Susanna Kaysen: I know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you can't. How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside.
Lisa Rowe: If I could have any job in the world I'd be a professional Cinderella.
Susanna Kaysen: [narrating] Seeing death... really seeing it, makes dreaming about it fucking ridiculous.
Lisa Rowe: So, what's your diag-nonsense?
Green Mile, The (1999)
Paul Edgecomb: When I die and I stand before God awaiting judgment
and he asks me why I let one of HIS miracles die, what am I gonna say, that it was my job?
My job?
John Coffey: You tell God the Father it was a kindness you done.
I know you hurtin' and worryin', I can feel it on you, but you oughta quit on it now.
Because I want it over and done. I do. I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely
as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where
we's coming from or going to, or why. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other.
I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world everyday. There's too much of it.
It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time. Can you understand?
Paul Edgecomb: Yes, John. I think I can.
Arlen Bitterbuck: Do you believe that if a man repents enough for what
he done wrong, than he'll get to go back to the time that was happiest for him and live
there forever? Could that be what heaven's like?
Paul Edgecomb: I just about believe that very thing.
Arlen Bitterbuck: I had a young wife when I was eighteen. We spent the
summer in the mountains, made love every night. After we would talk sometimes till the
sun came up, and she'd lay there, barebreasted in the fire light... that was my best time.

that cheap lotion. You stink of fear Will, but you're not a coward.
You fear me but still you came here. You fear this shy boy, and yet you
seek him out. Don't you understand Will? You caught me because we are very

I said, um, Spider-man, I said, uh, the great thing about M.J. is when

know what you feel, except you know what kind of man you want to be.

You're so mysterious all the time. Tell me, would it be so dangerous
to let Mary Jane know how much you care? Everybody else KNOWS...

I can't turn away until I know you'll be alright.
Rose: Well, I'll be fine. Really.

don't break free. Maybe not right away because you're strong, but soon, that fire that I
love so much about you Rose, that fire's going to burn out.
Rose: It's not up to you to save me Jack.
Jack: I know, only you can do that.
Rose: I love you Jack.
Jack: Don't you do that, don't say your good-byes.
Rose: I'm so cold.
Jack: I don't know about you, but I intend on writing a strongly
worded letter to the White Star Line about all of this. You're gonna go on, and make lots
of babies, and watch them grow. You're gonna die an old lady, warm in her bed. Not here,
not this night. Winning that ticket, Rose, was the best thing that ever happened to me.
And I'm thankful for that, Rose. I'm thankful. You must do me this honor, Rose.
Promise me you'll survive. Promise me now Rose, no matter what happens, or how hopeless.
Rose: I promise.
Jack: Never let go.

[turns head and coughs] Then, they took everything about me and put it into a computer where they created this model of my mind. Yes! Using that model they managed to generate every thought I could possibly have in the next, say, 10 years. Which they then filtered through a probability matrix of some kind to -- to determine everything I was gonna do in that period. So you see, she knew I was gonna lead the Army of the Twelve Monkeys into the pages of history before it ever even occurred to me. She knows everything I'm ever gonna do before I know it myself.
