Million Dollar Baby (2004)

Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: People love violence. They slow down at a car wreck to check for bodies. Same people claim to love boxing. They got no idea what it is. Boxing is about respect - getting it for yourself, and taking it away from the other guy.

Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: Frankie liked to say that boxing is an unnatural act, that everything in boxing is backwards. Sometimes, best way to deliver a punch is step back. ... But step back too far you ain't fightin' at all.

Frankie Dunn: Well, do your best, Lord, to... protect Katy. Annie, too. Other than that... you know what I want. There's no use me repeating myself.

Father Horvak: What's confusing you this week?
Frankie Dunn: Oh, it's the same old one God, three God thing.
Father Horvak: Frankie, most people figure out by kindergarten it's about faith.
Frankie Dunn: Is it sort of like Snap, Crackle and Pop all rolled up in one big box?

Frankie Dunn: Well, I'm confused.
Father Horvak: No, you aren't.
Frankie Dunn: Yes, I am.
Father Horvak: Then here's your answer: There's one God. Anything else? Cos I'm busy.
Frankie Dunn: What about the Holy Ghost?
Father Horvak: An expression of God's love.
Frankie Dunn: And Jesus?
Father Horvak: Son of God. Don't play stupid.
Frankie Dunn: Well, what is he, then? Does that make him a demigod?
Father Horvak: There are no demigods, you fuckin' pagan!

Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: Some people'd say the most important thing a fighter can have is heart. Frankie'd say, "Show me a fighter with nothing but a heart, and I'll show you a man waiting for a beating."

Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: She came from southwestern Missouri, the hills outside the scratch-ass Ozark town of Theodosia, set in the cedars and oak trees somewhere between nowhere and good-bye.

Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: If there's magic in boxing, it's the magic of fighting battles beyond endurance, beyond cracked ribs, ruptured kidneys and detached retinas. It's the magic of risking everything for a dream that nobody sees but you.

Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: Boxing is an unnatural act, cos everything in it is backwards. You want to move to the left, you don't step left you push on the right toe. To move right you use your left toe. Instead of running from the pain, like a sane person would do, you step into it. ... Everything in boxing is backwards.

Frankie Dunn: If I'm going to take you on...
Maggie Fitzgerald: You won't never regret it!
Frankie Dunn: Look, just listen to me. If I take you on...
Maggie Fitzgerald: I promise I'll work so hard.
Frankie Dunn: God, this is a mistake already.

Frankie Dunn: If I take you on, you don't say anything. You don't question me. You don't ask why, you don't say anything except maybe, "Yes, Frankie." And I'm going to try to forget the fact that you're a girl.
Maggie Fitzgerald: It's all I ask.

Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: To make a fighter, you got to strip 'em down to bare wood... You can't just tell 'em to "forget everything you know." You got to make 'em forget it in their bones... Make 'em so tired they only listen to you, only hear your voice, only do what you say and nothing else... Show 'em how to keep their balance and take it away from the other guy... How to generate momentum off your right toe and how to flex your knees when you fire a jab. How to fight backing up, so that the other guy doesn't want to come after you. Then you got to show 'em all over again - over and over and over till they think they were born that way.

Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: All fighters are pig-headed some way or other. Some part of them always thinks they know better than you about something... Truth is even if they're wrong, even if that one thing is going to be the ruin of them, if you can beat that last bit out of 'em, then they ain't fighters at all.

Frankie Dunn: Can you uh... spare a few minutes for the Immaculate Conception?

Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: People die every day Frankie, mopping floors washing dishes. And you know what their last thought is? "I never got my shot." Because of you, Maggie got her shot.

Cry Macho (2021)

Howard Polk: It's 10:30, Mike. You're late.
Mike Milo: For what?

Howard Polk: You gonna say anything?
Mike: No. I was just gonna say, "Howard, I've always thought of you as a small, weak, and gutless man." But, you know, there's no reason to be rude.

Howard Polk: It's not kidnapping if he's your kid.

Rafo: Macho. His name is Macho.
Mike Milo: Whatever.
Rafo: What's wrong with that?
Mike Milo: Nothing. Guy wants to name his cock "Macho"... It's okay by me.

Rafo: You can never trust no one.

Rafo: In Mexico, we're friendly people. You lend, I lend. We lend, everybody lends.
Mike Milo: Yeah, yeah.
Rafo: What?
Mike Milo: Just, uh... It's not your car and I'll be driving it.

Mike Milo: What's the Spanish word for "irony"?

Rafo: You used to be tough. Now you're weak. You used to ride bulls, ride horses. You were something.
Mike Milo: I was something.
Rafo: You used to be strong. Macho. Now you're nothing.
Mike Milo: Yeah. Well, I used to be a lot of things, but I'm not now. And I'll tell you something. This macho thing is overrated. Works perfect for him, but it's overrated. Just people trying to be macho to show that they've got grit. That's about all they end up with. And you sit there and let a bull step all over you, and you let a horse throw you 50 feet in the air. What an idiot. Only an idiot would be in a profession like that.

Mike Milo: It's just... It's like anything else in life. You think you got all the answers, then you realize as you get old, that you don't have any of 'em. By the time you figure it out, it's too late.

Richard Jewell (2019)

Richard Jewell: This is actually kind of like, uh... Kind of like practice for my future in law enforcement. APD, FBI, maybe Secret Service...
Watson Bryant: What the hell would you wanna do that for?
Richard Jewell: 'Cause I believe in protecting people, sir.

Watson Bryant: So, here's the deal. When you get your badge and I can see that day's comin', don't become an asshole. You got me?
Richard Jewell: No, sir, I won't become an asshole.
Watson Bryant: A little power can turn a person into a monster, Richard. Don't do that.

Richard Jewell: I just look around this place and I just think the world owes you better than this, Mama.
Bobi Jewell: Shoot, the world owes us both... This is what we got. Go do your job, son.

Richard Jewell: Oh, Lord. They told us in training. "You ever see the bomb guy go pale, run."

Kathy Scruggs: Dear God... whoever did this, please let us find him before anybody else does. And please, whoever he is, let him be fucking interesting. Amen.

Tom Shaw: You always look at the guy who found the bomb just like you always look at the guy who found the body.

Nadya Light: Where I come from, when the government says someone's guilty, it's how you know they're innocent. It's different here?

Watson Bryant: Richard, this is a capital crime here. This is the death penalty. I can help you, but only if I know the truth. Did you do this?

---

Watson Bryant: You got any guns in the house?
Richard Jewell: Yeah, we're in Georgia.
Watson Bryant: Yeah, of course you do.

Watson Bryant: Oh, good Lord. Uh... Were you expecting a zombie invasion or something?

Bobi Jewell: How many of 'em are coming in here?
Watson Bryant: Uh... There's a couple.
Bobi Jewell: Can they leave their shoes outside the door?
Watson Bryant: Well, I could ask 'em, Bobi. I don't know if they would oblige.

Richard Jewell: How can they do that?
Watson Bryant: It's easy, because you don't matter. That's how come.

Watson Bryant: Look at these guys not as suspect to agent, but as cop to cop. Don't give them any more deference than they're due. And don't keep calling them "sir."
Richard Jewell: Yeah, well, they're still the United States government...
Watson Bryant: No, they aren't the United States government. They're just three pricks who work for the United States government. You understand the difference? Nobody in that room is a better man than you. You understand?

Richard Jewell: Can I ask all you fellas a question?
Tom Shaw: Jesus. What?
Richard Jewell: Do you have any kind of case against me? I mean evidence. Like, any traces of anything on my mama's Tupperware? Or did you find any bomb-making materials in her apartment? Or did you find some...

Richard Jewell: I walk in here and I look at... the circle decal on your windows there, and I'm thinking... You know, I used to think that federal law enforcement was just about the highest calling a person could aspire to. And I'm not sure I think that anymore, you know? Not after all this.

Richard Jewell: So, do you have anything you wanna charge me with? Can you?... Well. I think it's time to go.

Unforgiven (1992)

Strawberry Alice: Just because we let them smelly fools ride us like horses don't mean we gotta let 'em brand us like horses. Maybe we ain't nothing but whores but we, by god, we ain't horses.

The Schofield Kid: You don't look like no meaner-than-hell, cold-blooded damn killer.
Maybe I ain't.

Fatty Rossiter: I just loaded that.
Clyde: I don't trust nobody loading my guns before a shooting. ...
Fatty Rossiter: It was all loaded. Clyde, you got three pistols and you only got one arm!
Clyde: I don't want to get killed for lack of shooting back.

Clyde: Maybe he's tough, but he sure ain't no carpenter.

Andy: Just wondered. Anybody could be scared.
Clyde: He wasn't scared, boys. He just ain't no carpenter.

English Bob: If you pointed a pistol... at a monarch, your hands would shake as if palsied.
Barber: I wouldn't point no pistol at nobody.
English Bob: That's a wise policy. But if you did, I assure you, the sight of royalty... would cause you to dismiss thoughts of bloodshed.
Barber: Right.
English Bob: You would stand... How shall I put it? In awe. A president... Why not shoot a president?

---

Little Bill Daggett: Look, son. Being a good shot, being quick with a pistol... don't do no harm, but it don't mean much next to being cool-headed. A man who'll keep his head, not get rattled under fire... like as not he'll kill you.
W.W. Beauchamp: But if the other fellow is quicker...
Little Bill Daggett: Then he'll hurry and he'll miss.

Little Bill Daggett: It ain't so easy to shoot a man if he's shooting back.

Strawberry Alice: You kicked the shit out of an innocent man.
Little Bill Daggett: Innocent? Innocent of what?

The Schofield Kid: He wouldn't take no beating if it hadn't jammed! He wouldn't give it over and not shoot.

Bill Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. You take away all he's got... and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: I guess they had it coming.
Bill Munny: We all have it coming, Kid.

Bill Munny: You better not cut up nor otherwise harm no whores! Or I'll come back and kill every one of you sons of bitches.
