Golda Meir: Why do you trust this man?
Zvi Zamir: He knows everything and he says war is coming.
Golda Meir: Yeah, well, of course, war is coming, but when?
Golda Meir: Without Dayan's support, there can be no mobilization and he is unconvinced that the threat is imminent. If he resigns, the government falls. It's that simple. And then the Arabs will most certainly attack.
Golda Meir: I suggest we mobilize 120,000 troops. Better to be safe than sorry, huh?
David 'Dado' Elazar: A hundred and twenty thousand men is not enough.
Moshe Dayan: It is.
David 'Dado' Elazar: It's not.
Moshe Dayan: It is.
David 'Dado' Elazar: It is not. We'll be outnumbered seven to one.
Golda Meir: The decision has been made. One hundred and twenty thousand. Thank you, gentlemen.
David 'Dado' Elazar: Four hours early...
— The Egyptians are shelling across the canal.
— Syrian jets are bombing the Golan.
— The Egyptians have fired a Kelt cruise missile at Tel Aviv.
Golda Meir: I'm not going to get under the table, but don't let me stop you.
Golda Meir: You all have a plan. Go back to your ministries and put it into effect with calm precision. Thank you, gentlemen. Moshe, we place our trust in you.
Golda Meir: We've got trouble with the neighbors again.
Henry Kissinger: I'm sorry to hear that. Uh, could I ask who fired the first shot?
Henry Kissinger: I'll start to apply diplomatic pressure.
Golda Meir: Please do. But be clear on one point. We will keep fighting until every Egyptian soldier has been driven back across the canal. They will gain nothing by force. If they want their land back, they must recognize the sovereign state of Israel.
Henry Kissinger: I understand.
Golda Meir: Thank you, Henry.
Henry Kissinger: Good luck, Golda.
Moshe Dayan: We lost. We lost the north. It's Armageddon. We lost the north. I alerted Dimona. The nuclear weapon. Yes, that's what I did.
Moshe Dayan: This is another Masada, Golda.
Golda Meir: The enemy has tasted blood. There is no reason for them to stop now. This is 1948 again. We are fighting for our lives.
Golda Meir: Sadat got his victory.
Moshe Dayan: Yes.
Golda Meir: But... does he know it?
Golda Meir: If the Arabs defeat us with Soviet weapons, what message does that send to the Free World, Henry?
Golda Meir: So, Arik. You want to cross the canal with 50 tanks and 2,000 men and take on two divisions. I believe that's 600 tanks and 30,000 men. Is that your plan?
Zvi Zamir: The Egyptians will renew their offensive in two days' time. The 4th and the 21st Division will cross the canal and join the attack.
Arik Sharon: If they crossed, Cairo will be undefended. No one could be that stupid.
Zvi Zamir: The Egyptians are about to make a terrible mistake. I suggest we let them make it.
Moshe Dayan: It would seem a ridiculous decision.
Golda Meir: No. I don't think so. Sadat is the first Arab leader to defeat the Jews in battle. So he's feeling euphoric. Invincible. Do you think a few sand dunes along the Suez Canal will seem enough when the gates of Jerusalem are beckoning? Knowing when you've lost is easy. It's knowing when you've won that's hard. Hmm! We'll wait for them to cross. Thank you, gentlemen.
Golda Meir: Arik. You'll get your chance. And for that, they will make you Prime Minister. Just remember, all political careers end in failure.
Moshe Dayan: I think we should think seriously about accepting a ceasefire.
Golda Meir: We are facing an unholy alliance between the Soviets and the Arabs that must be defeated. If our enemies stop fearing us, they will attack again and again and again.
Henry Kissinger: You know, they jammed the communication equipment on my plane.
Golda Meir: Hmm, of course. Those Russians. They brought nothing but misery to the world.
Henry Kissinger: Normally, I would agree with you. Of course, there is Tolstoy.
Golda Meir: Hmm!
Henry Kissinger: And Dostoyevsky.
Golda Meir: Misery on every page.
Henry Kissinger: I think it's important that you remember that I am first an American, second, I am Secretary of State, and third, I am a Jew.
Golda Meir: You forget that in Israel, we read from right to left.
Henry Kissinger: The Saudis have cut off our oil and crude has jumped from four dollars a barrel to 12, so... You can see that the American people will pay a high price for supporting Israel. Which is why we need the ceasefire agreement.
Golda Meir: I thought we were friends, Henry...
Henry Kissinger: We will always protect Israel.
Golda Meir: Like you did in '48? We had to get our weapons from Stalin. Stalin! Our survival is not in your gift. If we have to, we will fight alone.
Golda Meir: Let me tell you about the Russians, Henry. When I was a child in Ukraine, at Christmas time, my father would board up the windows of our house... To protect us from Cossacks who would get drunk and attack Jews. They would beat Jews to death in the street for fun. My father would hide us in the cellar. And we'd stay silent, hoping the killers would pass us by. My father's face, Henry. I will never forget that look. All he wanted was to protect his children. I am not that little girl hiding in the cellar!
Henry Kissinger: So, now you're going to fight with the Russians too, huh?
Golda Meir: You must choose, Henry. Side with me or I will create an army of orphans and widows.
Henry Kissinger: This is not the way to...
Golda Meir: I will slaughter them all. Whose side are you on? You must choose.
David 'Dado' Elazar: I have a message from Sadat. He's offering direct talks. And an exchange of POWs. He has given the Red Cross a list of names. He referred to you as the Prime Minister of Israel, Golda.
Golda Meir: He used that word, "Israel"?
David 'Dado' Elazar: Yes. Israel. He's recognizing Israel.
Golda Meir: Why?
Zvi Zamir: Who likes to be wrong?
Golda Meir: The listening system must be kept secret. No one must know about this.
Zvi Zamir: You will take the blame?.. I will defend your memory. I promise you that.
Golda Meir: My gut told me that war was coming. But I ignored it. I should've mobilized that night. All those boys who died, I will carry the pain of that to my grave... Please, don't write that down.

You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah (2023)
Stacy Friedman: All right, mishpachah, please say hello to our newest and most fabulous adult, Stacy Friedman! Your Bat Mitzvah is the first day of your adult life, and everyone knows an iconic adult life hinges on how it starts.
Stacy Friedman: Oh my God, this is important! I'm becoming a freaking woman, everyone!
Danny Friedman: Okay, woman. All you should worry about right now is your mitzvah project and practicing your Haftarah.
Stacy Friedman: Mm-hmm. That's not important! I mean, it is important to you and other old people and God and stuff. But to me, the party is important.
Danny Friedman: Listen, when I got Bar Mitzvahed, we had a party in Grandma's basement. We all split, like, this giant matzo ball. That was the fun. You know what the theme was? Being Jewish.
Danny Friedman: What's the matter? Something bugging you? It'll be fine. Whatever it is... Here. Don't tell your mother. Have some coffee.
Stacy Friedman: Oh! And one more thing... Lydia Rodriguez Katz, you are so not invited to my Bat Mitzvah.
Stacy Friedman: Dear God, Stacy Friedman here. And what the hell? ...
Rabbi Rebecca: Okay, today we're going to be talking about tikkun olam. Does anyone know what that means?
— If God exists, then how do you explain climate change?
Rabbi Rebecca: It's actually an amazing question. Um...
— Yeah, and why can't straight people get on gay TikTok?
Rabbi Rebecca: It's way funnier.
— And if God loves me, then why is he always giving me so many zits.
— And why does Apple keep changing their chargers?
— And why did my dad's doctor operate on the wrong shoulder?
— And why do I have to share a room with my grandma?
Rabbi Rebecca: Okay, okay, okay. I think I can explain zits and climate change and gay TikTok... Musically!
Danny Friedman: Hey. We don't slam doors in this house.
Stacy Friedman: Dad, I need a break.
Danny Friedman: Well, welcome to being an adult. And welcome to being Jewish. We don't get breaks.
Danny Friedman: You hate me?!
Stacy Friedman: I do. You're a jerk, and you won't let me have a mojito bar.
Danny Friedman: That's why we fought the Nazis? So you could have a mojito bar?

Roman J. Israel, Esq. (2017)
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: Each one of us is greater than the worst thing we've ever done.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: I'll take over. Ahem.
Lynn Jackson: No, you're not capable of continuing the practice. ...
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: Right. B-b-but I'll take over, because in the architecture of this firm, I am a pillar.
Lynn Jackson: Yes, and, Roman, I'd hoped to reward you for that.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: Hope don't get the job done.
Lynn Jackson: What does that mean?
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: That means hope don't get the job done.
Lynn Jackson: Is it ego or delusion? Honestly, I... I never paid enough attention to you. This place runs more like a charity service than a law firm. It's run a deficit for years. We... his family, can no longer afford it. We're clearing the books.
George Pierce: William taught a term at Loyola. That's where we met. I was, uh, top of my class.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: Potential's a bitch.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: If I was freed from criminal work, I can get back to my roots. The bigger battles, organized mass action supported by sweeping legal challenges. With my skill and, uh, experience I'm-I'm quite certain I can get this organization right back in line with its core beliefs.
Maya Alston: This organization?
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: Yes.
Maya Alston: Yeah. I-I wasn't aware that we, um, had strayed.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: Well, I'm not talking about nickel-and-dime reformism. I'm talking about igniting a sustained mass movement, supported by rule change and injunctive relief. And I could get results using class-action tactics. I'm talking about a return to using activist litigation creatively, defensively, counter-offensively.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: As for my personal life, at a certain point I had to decide whether to have a family or career. I couldn't do both. So I stayed on the front lines. Now, I'm offering at this time... to work, exclusively... as your, um... long-haul, three-dimensional, revolutionary, in-house, full-time, paid advocate.
Jeff: What a freak.
Maya Alston: You stand on his shoulders.
Felicity Ellerbee: What's "Esquire" mean?
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: Uh, it's a designation, uh, in the legal arena. It's like a title of dignity. Slightly above gentleman, below knight.
George Pierce: I sent you an e-mail today to come to my office.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: I'm sorry, but when people send e-mails, they think it goes straight to your brain.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: So what I'm offering to you right out here now is a chance to partner with me on a piece of groundbreaking litigation I've been working on for over seven years now. Inside this case is arguably the most important legal brief in modern legal history. A sweeping federal challenge that could yield nothing less than a grand new era of social reform.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: The Constitution guarantees us a right to a fair trial, but there can't be any fairness if 95 percent of all cases never get heard. Criminal cases never get heard by a jury or a judge.
I am building a wholly original class-action lawsuit ... aimed at the heart of plea-bargain reform. I'm talking about reforming a system where prosecutors are trying to pull sentences out of their hat. Where guilt or innocence is being completely replaced by fear of having your day in court. Where people are being forced, George, to plead guilty under the threat of overly harsh and coercive sentences.
It's a job for a legend, or someone who wants to be one.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: Look at you. Just like I was... Just starting out your fight against the dominant tendencies of our society. Well, you better get ready for the commitment it takes to lead a resistant lifestyle. You better start forging the armor to withstand the temptation and the financial and emotional toll. Because when it comes to social injustice and judicial indifference and institutional racism and outright goddamn greed the overwhelming majority of the people in this country just don't give a damn.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: Can't you see? It's clear as crystal. We filed the wrong brief in the wrong court to the wrong judge.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: Freedom is something you can only give yourself.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: I'm tired of doing the impossible for the ungrateful. I now have, uh, more... practical concerns.
Realtor: Well, what do you think?
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: I think that whatever we're chasing... you got it all here.
Realtor: I'm sorry?
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: When can I move in?
Maya Alston: Well, I was calling to see if you wanted to go for dinner.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: With me? With you?
Maya Alston: I'm confused.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: I... I'd like that. I'd like that. I'd like that, yeah. Um...
Maya Alston: Great.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: Tonight? I mean... Tomorrow?
Maya Alston: Works for me.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: It works for me. Tonight works for me, but I mean... All right. I'll... I... Tomorrow. I'll do tomorrow.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: The real enemies aren't on the outside. They're within.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: It's me, George. See, I didn't see it before because I never experienced the other side. I'm the defendant... and the plaintiff simultaneously. I file against myself, I represent myself, I convict myself, hereby expanding the full scope of the legal desert because the judgment's built in. The only thing left is forgiveness, and I grant that to myself.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: An act doesn't make the person guilty unless the mind is guilty as well.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.: I know you get it, George. You have such a tremendous future. It's so bright, I... I swear, it's... It's blinding.

Air (2023)
Sonny Vaccaro: I-I can't... just can't figure out why these kids want to take less money to sign for a rival shoe company. I mean, why would a kid from Baltimore want to wear German soccer shoes?
Howard White: Because Adidas is what's hot right now, man. The rappers are wearing them in the videos. The break-dancers are break-dancing up in the Bronx. They're on the floor breaking their ankles and their elbows for no reason. And these kids ain't cool unless they got Adidas on. And them some badass jogging suits, too. You got to admit we can't touch their jogging suits.
Howard White: Nike is a damn jogging company, man. Black people don't jog. You ain't gonna catch no Black person running 26 miles for no damn reason. Man, the cops probably pull you over thinking you done stole something.
Sonny Vaccaro: You know, I-I like the, uh... that new slogan, the one for the whole company that they're talking about.
Howard White: I don't like it. You know where it came from?
Sonny Vaccaro: No.
Howard White: That damn slogan came from a convict about to get executed in front of a firing squad, and they asked him, "What's your last words?"
Sonny Vaccaro: What? "Just do it"?
Sonny Vaccaro: Ah, kind of a fitting metaphor for the way basketball is viewed at this company.
Howard White: I know. "Nike. Just get the shit over with."
Sonny Vaccaro: What'd it say about me that I liked it?
Howard White: That says that you a fat middle-aged white guy that don't want to exercise.
Rob Strasser: So, Mr. Orwell was right. 1984 has been a tough year. Our sales are down, our growth is down, but this company is about who we really are when we are down for the count. Am I right, huh?
Sonny Vaccaro: You know he'll be miserable at Adidas. I mean, it's a shit show over there since Adolf died.
David Falk: Adi, Sonny. He went by Adi.
Sonny Vaccaro: His name was Adolf. I mean, the guy's name was literally Adolf.
David Falk: He was a good man.
Sonny Vaccaro: He kept the name.
David Falk: It's Adi. Adi Dassler. Adi-Das. Adidas. That's what it stands for.
Sonny Vaccaro: He was in the Hitler Youth.
David Falk: No, he wasn't. Don't say that.
Sonny Vaccaro: I saw a picture of him personally wearing a swastika. The guy had the haircut.
David Falk: We all have a past.
Sonny Vaccaro: Look, David, some of us have our past and some of us were Nazis. There's a line.
David Falk: Well, he's dead.
George Raveling: He just doesn't like the shoe.
Sonny Vaccaro: He never even worn the shoes.
George Raveling: He did say if somebody was to buy him a red Mercedes 380SL, he would sign a shoe contract for life with anybody. Except Nike. There's nothing cool about Nike. Even what it means, "Adidas": "All day I dream about sex." "Puma": "Please use my ass."
Sonny Vaccaro: That's not what it means.
George Raveling: "Nike" has no-no meaning.
Deloris Jordan: What should I ask you?
Sonny Vaccaro: Ask me why I'm in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Deloris Jordan: Why are you in Wilmington, North Carolina?
Sonny Vaccaro: Because I believe in your son. I believe he's different. And I believe you might be the only person on Earth who knows it. That's why I'm in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Peter Moore: To what do I owe the honor?
Sonny Vaccaro: I need a shoe, Pete.
Peter Moore: I would assume as much.
Sonny Vaccaro: I need the greatest basketball shoe that's ever been made.
Peter Moore: How long do we have?
Sonny Vaccaro: It has to be individual. Like, think of it like this. Uh, Converse are plain, ordinary shoes, right? Every player wears the same one. What we do with this one is, rather than have the athlete wear one of our shoes, we create the shoe around the athlete.
Peter Moore: So the shoe is a physical manifestation of the individual rather than the individual as emblem of the corporate entity?
Sonny Vaccaro: Something like that.
Peter Moore: The requirements are: speak as an individual, market to a mass audience and be the most beautiful shoe known to mankind.
Sonny Vaccaro: Yes.
Peter Moore: Form or function?
Sonny Vaccaro: Uh...
Peter Moore: Uh, something can be beautiful or it can be practical. Rarely both.
Sonny Vaccaro: Come up with something new.
Peter Moore: Humans have been wearing shoes for thousands of years, and the design has substantively changed once: when they differentiated between the right and the left shoe. That was 600 years ago.
Peter Moore: Beauty. Not function? You know what they say. Poetry only makes the world bearable. It's engineering that got us to the moon.
Sonny Vaccaro: They're j-just too white. Not enough color in there. I mean, the Bulls are red and black. Can you get more red in?
Peter Moore: They literally are not permitted to be a single additional percentage point of red.
Sonny Vaccaro: Is that true? What is the actual rule?
Peter Moore: 51% of the shoe has to be white. NBA is extremely strict about it. They'll fine him.
Sonny Vaccaro: They'll fine him?
Peter Moore: $5,000 a game.
Sonny Vaccaro: We're fucked.
Rob Strasser: .... What about more red? A lot more red. And what about if we just pay the fines? Make a commercial out of it. You know, it'll give us headlines. They're gonna fine Michael Jordan for being too colorful.
Peter Moore: Do you men think about basketball shoes often?
Sonny Vaccaro: I mostly think about basketball.
Rob Strasser: More marketing.
Peter Moore: Basketball shoes are the... central preoccupation of my life. I've had one persistent obsession that I've harbored and nurtured in hopes of making the perfect basketball shoe.
Rob Strasser: You know, Sonny, this doesn't work out, jobs are gone, checks are gone. You know that, right?
Sonny Vaccaro: Well, you'll get another job. What I do you can't put on a résumé.
Rob Strasser: I wouldn't worry about it. You're very, very convincing.
Sonny Vaccaro: Yeah. That's my job.
Rob Strasser: But I also know that sometimes people can be completely and totally wrong. Okay? You know, like-like somebody really sold the emperor on, "We should bomb Pearl Harbor," okay?
Sonny Vaccaro: Are you likening yourself to Hirohito?
Sonny Vaccaro: If we're gonna make it, w-we got to take risks.
Rob Strasser: Spoken like a man without a seven-year-old on Sunday afternoon.
Rob Strasser: A shoe is always just a shoe until someone steps into it.
Phil Knight: Okay. This team is good enough. You are all capable. And I believe in each one of you. Remember to focus on your breath. When you breathe in, know you're breathing in. When you breathe out, simply know you're breathing out. I'll see you in seven hours and 25 minutes.
Sonny Vaccaro: Just forget about the shoes. Forget about the money. You're gonna make enough money, it's not gonna matter. Money can buy you almost anything. It can't buy you immortality. That you have to earn.
Sonny Vaccaro: It's an American story, and that's why Americans are gonna love it. People are gonna build you up. God, are they going to. Because when you're great and new, we love you. Man, we'll build you into something that doesn't even exist. You're gonna change the fucking world. But you know what? Once they've built you as high as they possibly can, they're gonna tear you back down. It's the most predictable pattern. We build you into something that doesn't exist, and that means you have to try to be that thing. All day, every day. That's how it works. And we do it again and again and again.
And I'm gonna tell you the truth. You're gonna be attacked, betrayed, exposed and humiliated. And you'll survive that...
A lot of people can climb that mountain. It's the way down that breaks them. 'Cause that's the moment when you are truly alone. And what will you do then? Can you summon the will to fight on through all the pain and rise again?
Sonny Vaccaro: Who are you, Michael? That will be the defining question of your life. And I think you already know the answer. And that's why we're all here... A shoe is just a shoe until somebody steps into it. Then it has meaning. The rest of us just want a chance to touch that greatness. We need you in these shoes not so you have meaning in your life but so that we have meaning in ours.
Everyone at this table will be forgotten as soon as our time here is up. Except for you. You're gonna be remembered forever, because some things are eternal.
You're Michael Jordan, and your story is gonna make us want to fly.
Deloris Jordan: Now, we are willing to accept the deal and commit right away but with one minor provision...
Sonny Vaccaro: Name it.
Deloris Jordan: It's nothing, really. It's so obvious that its omission, I assume, from the term sheet was a clerical error.
Sonny Vaccaro: I'm sure it was.
Deloris Jordan: Michael will get a percentage of the revenue of the sale of each shoe that is sold.
Sonny Vaccaro: I'm sorry?!
Sonny Vaccaro: Mrs. Jordan, I... I understand what you're saying. I... I actually agree with you. But that's just not how it goes in this life. People like your son, people who work for a living, they don't let us own anything. We take the best we can get. ...
Deloris Jordan: Mr. Vaccaro, I agree that the business is unfair. It's unfair to my son. It's unfair to people like you. But every once in a while, someone comes along that's so extraordinary that it forces those reluctant to part with some of that wealth to do so, not out of charity but out of greed, because they are so very special. And even more rare, that person demands to be treated according to their worth because they understand what they are worth.
Sonny Vaccaro: Or their mother does.
Deloris Jordan: You purport to know a good deal about my son. You tell me. Is it me who believes in Michael, his name, or am I just a healthy reflection of who he is and what he believes about himself? Hmm?
Deloris Jordan: A shoe is just a shoe until my son steps into it.
Sonny Vaccaro: You okay?
Phil Knight: I'm just concentrating on my breath.
Sonny Vaccaro: Why?
Phil Knight: Just... doing a forgiveness meditation for myself.
Sonny Vaccaro: What are you forgiving yourself for?
Phil Knight: I think it's possible we may have set a very dangerous precedent. Now every athlete's gonna want a percentage. Next thing, they'll all want equity and... Fuck it. Too many cows.
Phil Knight: If we ruin the business, at least we had fun doing it.
Sonny Vaccaro: You know, I thought it was pronounced "Nicky" first time I saw the word.
Phil Knight: I had a really strong instinct we should call the company Dimension Six. You think it would've been successful with that name?
Sonny Vaccaro: No. Ah, you name it after the goddess of victory, it's probably more appealing to competitive athletes.
Phil Knight: We just did that 'cause the consultants told us people like four-letter words.
Sonny Vaccaro: I like four-letter words.
Phil Knight: I paid Carolyn Davidson $35 for that design in 1971.
Sonny Vaccaro: I heard you didn't like it.
Phil Knight: No. I said it would grow on me. Well, maybe it will.
Phil Knight: I think it'll be fine. What's the most we ever sold on a shoe? $3 million? He's one guy. How much can it be?...

Howard White: Because Adidas is what's hot right now, man. The rappers are wearing them in the videos. The break-dancers are break-dancing up in the Bronx. They're on the floor breaking their ankles and their elbows for no reason. And these kids ain't cool unless they got Adidas on. And them some badass jogging suits, too. You got to admit we can't touch their jogging suits.
Howard White: Nike is a damn jogging company, man. Black people don't jog. You ain't gonna catch no Black person running 26 miles for no damn reason. Man, the cops probably pull you over thinking you done stole something.
Sonny Vaccaro: You know, I-I like the, uh... that new slogan, the one for the whole company that they're talking about.
Howard White: I don't like it. You know where it came from?
Sonny Vaccaro: No.
Howard White: That damn slogan came from a convict about to get executed in front of a firing squad, and they asked him, "What's your last words?"
Sonny Vaccaro: What? "Just do it"?
Sonny Vaccaro: Ah, kind of a fitting metaphor for the way basketball is viewed at this company.
Howard White: I know. "Nike. Just get the shit over with."
Sonny Vaccaro: What'd it say about me that I liked it?
Howard White: That says that you a fat middle-aged white guy that don't want to exercise.
Rob Strasser: So, Mr. Orwell was right. 1984 has been a tough year. Our sales are down, our growth is down, but this company is about who we really are when we are down for the count. Am I right, huh?
Sonny Vaccaro: You know he'll be miserable at Adidas. I mean, it's a shit show over there since Adolf died.
David Falk: Adi, Sonny. He went by Adi.
Sonny Vaccaro: His name was Adolf. I mean, the guy's name was literally Adolf.
David Falk: He was a good man.
Sonny Vaccaro: He kept the name.
David Falk: It's Adi. Adi Dassler. Adi-Das. Adidas. That's what it stands for.
Sonny Vaccaro: He was in the Hitler Youth.
David Falk: No, he wasn't. Don't say that.
Sonny Vaccaro: I saw a picture of him personally wearing a swastika. The guy had the haircut.
David Falk: We all have a past.
Sonny Vaccaro: Look, David, some of us have our past and some of us were Nazis. There's a line.
David Falk: Well, he's dead.
George Raveling: He just doesn't like the shoe.
Sonny Vaccaro: He never even worn the shoes.
George Raveling: He did say if somebody was to buy him a red Mercedes 380SL, he would sign a shoe contract for life with anybody. Except Nike. There's nothing cool about Nike. Even what it means, "Adidas": "All day I dream about sex." "Puma": "Please use my ass."
Sonny Vaccaro: That's not what it means.
George Raveling: "Nike" has no-no meaning.
Deloris Jordan: What should I ask you?
Sonny Vaccaro: Ask me why I'm in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Deloris Jordan: Why are you in Wilmington, North Carolina?
Sonny Vaccaro: Because I believe in your son. I believe he's different. And I believe you might be the only person on Earth who knows it. That's why I'm in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Peter Moore: To what do I owe the honor?
Sonny Vaccaro: I need a shoe, Pete.
Peter Moore: I would assume as much.
Sonny Vaccaro: I need the greatest basketball shoe that's ever been made.
Peter Moore: How long do we have?
Sonny Vaccaro: It has to be individual. Like, think of it like this. Uh, Converse are plain, ordinary shoes, right? Every player wears the same one. What we do with this one is, rather than have the athlete wear one of our shoes, we create the shoe around the athlete.
Peter Moore: So the shoe is a physical manifestation of the individual rather than the individual as emblem of the corporate entity?
Sonny Vaccaro: Something like that.
Peter Moore: The requirements are: speak as an individual, market to a mass audience and be the most beautiful shoe known to mankind.
Sonny Vaccaro: Yes.
Peter Moore: Form or function?
Sonny Vaccaro: Uh...
Peter Moore: Uh, something can be beautiful or it can be practical. Rarely both.
Sonny Vaccaro: Come up with something new.
Peter Moore: Humans have been wearing shoes for thousands of years, and the design has substantively changed once: when they differentiated between the right and the left shoe. That was 600 years ago.
Peter Moore: Beauty. Not function? You know what they say. Poetry only makes the world bearable. It's engineering that got us to the moon.
Sonny Vaccaro: They're j-just too white. Not enough color in there. I mean, the Bulls are red and black. Can you get more red in?
Peter Moore: They literally are not permitted to be a single additional percentage point of red.
Sonny Vaccaro: Is that true? What is the actual rule?
Peter Moore: 51% of the shoe has to be white. NBA is extremely strict about it. They'll fine him.
Sonny Vaccaro: They'll fine him?
Peter Moore: $5,000 a game.
Sonny Vaccaro: We're fucked.
Rob Strasser: .... What about more red? A lot more red. And what about if we just pay the fines? Make a commercial out of it. You know, it'll give us headlines. They're gonna fine Michael Jordan for being too colorful.
Peter Moore: Do you men think about basketball shoes often?
Sonny Vaccaro: I mostly think about basketball.
Rob Strasser: More marketing.
Peter Moore: Basketball shoes are the... central preoccupation of my life. I've had one persistent obsession that I've harbored and nurtured in hopes of making the perfect basketball shoe.
Rob Strasser: You know, Sonny, this doesn't work out, jobs are gone, checks are gone. You know that, right?
Sonny Vaccaro: Well, you'll get another job. What I do you can't put on a résumé.
Rob Strasser: I wouldn't worry about it. You're very, very convincing.
Sonny Vaccaro: Yeah. That's my job.
Rob Strasser: But I also know that sometimes people can be completely and totally wrong. Okay? You know, like-like somebody really sold the emperor on, "We should bomb Pearl Harbor," okay?
Sonny Vaccaro: Are you likening yourself to Hirohito?
Sonny Vaccaro: If we're gonna make it, w-we got to take risks.
Rob Strasser: Spoken like a man without a seven-year-old on Sunday afternoon.
Rob Strasser: A shoe is always just a shoe until someone steps into it.
Phil Knight: Okay. This team is good enough. You are all capable. And I believe in each one of you. Remember to focus on your breath. When you breathe in, know you're breathing in. When you breathe out, simply know you're breathing out. I'll see you in seven hours and 25 minutes.
Sonny Vaccaro: Just forget about the shoes. Forget about the money. You're gonna make enough money, it's not gonna matter. Money can buy you almost anything. It can't buy you immortality. That you have to earn.
Sonny Vaccaro: It's an American story, and that's why Americans are gonna love it. People are gonna build you up. God, are they going to. Because when you're great and new, we love you. Man, we'll build you into something that doesn't even exist. You're gonna change the fucking world. But you know what? Once they've built you as high as they possibly can, they're gonna tear you back down. It's the most predictable pattern. We build you into something that doesn't exist, and that means you have to try to be that thing. All day, every day. That's how it works. And we do it again and again and again.
And I'm gonna tell you the truth. You're gonna be attacked, betrayed, exposed and humiliated. And you'll survive that...
A lot of people can climb that mountain. It's the way down that breaks them. 'Cause that's the moment when you are truly alone. And what will you do then? Can you summon the will to fight on through all the pain and rise again?
Sonny Vaccaro: Who are you, Michael? That will be the defining question of your life. And I think you already know the answer. And that's why we're all here...

Creed III (2023)
Bianca Creed: I think, as parents, it's actually our responsibility to teach her how to assess her emotions.
Adonis Creed: So you want Amara, right, to hold hands with this bully and start talking about her feelings? That's not real life.
Damian Anderson: It's like this, bro. I respect you... but my clock tickin'. It's now or never for me.
Adonis Creed: And I wanna help you, like I said I would. But, man, what you asking me, it's... it's kinda impossible.
Damian Anderson: You don't know what it's like, bro. All that time in them... in them walls. Impossible? They take your name. And they give you a number. That's how it start...
Adonis Creed: Most people think it's about violence but it's not. It's timing and focus and...
Amara Creed: Control?
Mary-Anne Creed: You were so mad. Gonna knock everybody out, one by one. Just like your father. That's why he fought so hard. You know that, right?
Adonis Creed: Yeah.
Mary-Anne Creed: But you... you don't have to do that. You can find another way.
Bianca Creed: I just made a choice to try to move on and be happy about what I do have. But it's not easy. I just try.
Adonis Creed: ...when he went down, I didn't reach out. I never called. I didn't write. After a while, it felt easier to pretend like I forgot. You know, just... act like it never happened.
Tony 'Little Duke' Burton: Listen... You out there boxing. I need you to start fighting. Go out there and do what we came to do.
Tony 'Little Duke' Burton: Let go of the fear. You hear me? Let go of the guilt. Let go of it, dawg. Let go of whatever was and walk into what is.

John Wick: Chapter 4
Bowery King: You ready, John?
John Wick: Yeah...
The Elder: To what do I owe the pleasure?
John Wick: My ring. My freedom.
The Elder: Your ring is gone, like The Elder before me. And if you came here thinking you could end this by killing me, then you are mistaken. My death will not change the outcome any more than you can change your nature. None of us can escape who we are, and no one escapes The Table. And the only way John Wick will ever have freedom or peace, now or ever, is in death.
John Wick: I know.
Winston: You have the unshakeable faith of David, my friend, but you shouldn't be here. This will not be pleasant.
Charon: Such is life, sir.
Marquis: My father used to say, "How you do anything is how you do everything." Called it the first and the last rule of life. You believe in rules... Mr. Manager?
Winston: Oh, I do.
Marquis: And what of consequences?
Winston: Of course. And second chances.
Marquis: Ah. That's where we differ, you and I. Second chances are the refuge of men who fail.
Marquis: The agreement with The Table stays the same. We give you a name, you give us a life. Or... we take one.
Caine: ... I will serve. I will be of service.
Shimazu: Have you given any thought to where this ends? The Table will never stop. You know this. It only takes life and only gives death.
Shimazu: Friendship means little when it's convenient.
Shimazu: The only path this leads to is death.
John Wick: I'm going to kill them all.
Shimazu: I believe you'll try. But no one, not even you, can kill everyone.
Shimazu: You want to die? That's your choice. A good death only comes after a good life.
John Wick: You and I left a good life behind a long time ago, my friend.
Shimazu: Fools talk, cowards are silent, but wise men listen.
Caine: So which one will you be?
Bowery King: Tell me. Tell me true. Why did the Frenchman let you live?
Winston: Killing a man can turn him into a martyr. Letting him live... tells the world he's a coward or a turncoat.
Bowery King: So what are you?
Winston: Aggrieved.
Marquis: This campaign is not to kill John Wick. It is to kill the idea of John Wick. And to do that, I must destroy everything that idea touches.
Marquis: And you are?
Tracker: Nobody.
Marquis: Coyness, Mr. Nobody, is a pathetic trait. A miscalculation, in which by trying to hide our ego, we let it appear stark naked.
Killa Harkan: Exciting, ja? So, you want to kill him. You want to kill him. I want to kill him. What about you, Mr. Wick?
John Wick: I'm going to kill you.
Harbinger: Marquis de Gramont! A man's ambition should never exceed his worth. You would do well to remember that, sir.
Bowery King: Forty-two regular, wasn't it? It's Kevlar, front to back. The latest in ballistic chic. Appropriate for all formal occasions. Weddings, funerals, High Table duels. After all, a man has to look his best when it's time to get married. Or buried.
Marquis: There are three types of men in this world. Those who have something to live for, those who have something to die for, and those who have something to kill for. John Wick has none of these things. He is but a ghost in search of a graveyard. But the blind man, well, he has all three...
John Wick: "Loving husband."
Winston: Hmm?
John Wick: That's what I want on mine [gravestone]. "John. Loving husband."
Caine: What time is sunrise?
John Wick: Two... maybe three minutes.
John Wick: Last words, Winston?
Winston: Just have fun out there.
John Wick: Those who cling to death, live.
Caine: Those who cling to life, die.
Harbinger: Your obligation to The Table... is satisfied, John Wick. You are free.

Living (2022)
Peter Wakeling: Well, I hope to make a difference. It may take a week or two though...
Rusbridger: Don't worry, old chap. This time of morning, it's a kind of rule. Not too much fun and laughter. Rather like church.
Margaret Harris: If your skyscraper isn't very tall, or, God forbid, you work so fast you don't have one at all, people will suspect you of not having anything very important to do.
Peter Wakeling: I see.
Margaret Harris: So here's your first rule, Mr Wakeling. Keep the skyscraper high.
Doctor Matthews: The results have come back. I'm afraid this time they're pretty conclusive... It's never easy, this.
Williams: Quite.
Williams: You see my problem. I withdrew this cash and came down here to... Enjoy myself, or live a little, as you put it. But I realise... I don't know how.
Hattie: If he's ill, then this ain't good for him.
Sutherland: Hattie, you don't understand. This man, until yesterday was living a shell of an existence, has sprung to life. Look. He even has a new hat.
Williams: Mr what?
Margaret Harris: Mr Zombie. I saw a film about it with what's her name. Erm... Zombies are sort of like Egyptian mummies, but they can walk and go about doing things. They're sort of dead but not dead.
Margaret Harris: Mr Williams... I'm... I'm just an ordinary person like everybody else. I... I have no such special quality. I try to stay cheerful.
Williams: What was it, your name for me?
Margaret Harris: Mr Zombie.
Williams: Yes. Mr Zombie. I wasn't always. When I was your age, from when I was this high, what I wanted... was to be a gentleman. Nothing grand. Just a rank and file sort of gentleman. I used to see them in the mornings, all lined up at the railway station, whenever I went there with my mother in their suits and hats, waiting on the platform to go into London. A gentleman like that. That's what... That's what I longed to be one day.
Margaret Harris: How did it happen?
Williams: I fancy it just crept up on me. Just one day proceeding the next. A small wonder I didn't notice... what I was becoming. And then I looked at you. And I remembered... what it was like to be alive like that.
Williams: I have no wish to belittle our playground... but I put it to you that it was, all the same... a small thing. And that it will, before long... go the way of most small things. It may fall into disrepair, or be superseded by some grander scheme. To speak plainly, we cannot assume to have erected a lasting monument. Should there come days when it's no longer clear to you to what end you are directing your daily efforts, when the sheer grind of it all threatens to reduce you to the kind of state in which I so long existed... I urge you then to recall our little playground, and the modest satisfaction that became our due upon its completion.

Fast X (2023)
Dante Reyes: I'll kill Dominic Toretto. I'll kill 'em all.
Hernan Reyes: Kill them? You'd show them mercy? No, my son. When suffering is owed, never accept death as a payment. Make Toretto suffer.
Han: Well, you better watch out. Little man's gonna be a better wrench than any of us by the time he's 12.
Dominic Toretto: I mean, that's the whole point, isn't it? Pass it down. Each generation better than the last... That's fatherhood.
Letty: You can keep your eyes on that rearview all you want. But you know what you miss?
Dominic Toretto: What?
Letty: Eternity in this moment.
Cipher: I'm here because the enemy of my enemy is you.
Dante Reyes: Never accept death when suffering is owed.
Cipher: There's a war coming. The sides are being chosen. And everyone you love will be destroyed.
Roman Pearce: What have we done?
Aimes: That's their M.O. To corrupt law enforcement. Brian O'Conner. Elena Neves. Luke Hobbs. Everyone becomes family. It's like a cult with cars.
Dominic Toretto: When Rome falls, so does the world.
Queenie: Well, it ain't no Roman holiday. And you're no Gregory Peck.
Dominic Toretto: So, how about we all just start shooting each other and see what happens?
Dante Reyes: Or we race. If you win, you take me in. If you lose... Don't lose.
Dominic Toretto: ... You all came 'cause you wanted to see a race. Let's race!
Dante Reyes: You've saved so many lives... It's like you're a... a saint. Saint Dominic. And I've been studying you. And watching you. I can't figure it out. How... How do you choose? How do you choose the ones you save?
Bowie420: I'm just gonna need cash. Okay? None of that crypto stuff.
Tej: Oh, the Black Jeff Bezos here got you covered.
Bowie420: Black Bezos?
Tej: Yeah, he's even been into outer space.
Jakob: They found us. Now let's lose our tail.
Little Brian: Holy shi...
Jakob: Wait! Swearing is for song lyrics only and stubbed toes.
Dominic Toretto: How someone born so rich chooses the poorest path through life... You got no honor. Without honor, you got no family. And without family... you've got nothing.
Dominic Toretto: That's the problem nowadays. Nobody listens...
Dante Reyes: You know what your problem is? Family. You can't save 'em all.
Dante Reyes: You know how to beat your dad in a street race? Take away the streets.
Dominic Toretto: Son, I never break a promise. Now, let's finish that driving lesson. Feel the car, find your line and fly.
Dante Reyes: You know, Dominic, to become a real saint, you have to perform miracles. Or die a martyr. So what's it gonna be?
Dante Reyes: The suffering is over, Dom. It's time for you to die.
Dante Reyes: I'm gonna make you suffer. The devil is coming for you... lawman.
Luke Hobbs: Well, I ain't hard to find, you sumbitch.

A Good Person (2023)
Daniel: It's better to be a half-hour early than one minute late.
Daniel: And what kind of a punch was that? You throw this hard right hook and then you leave yourself wide open for the jab. We're gonna have to work on that.
Becka: Karl Marx was wrong. Turns out the opiate of the masses is opium.
Allison: I just wanna get as far away from here as possible.
Diego: Yo, there's this app, it tells you the exact opposite of where you are on the globe is. That's where you should go. I'll look it up for you...
Mark: Yo, that's how I feel every fuckin' day of my life. I can't seem to escape this town. It's like there's a force field around it or something. Like, some people know how to get outta here. But the rest of us, we just keep banging our heads up against the glass.
Diego: ...It's Perth. That's the city on the other side of the globe from here. You should go to Perth.
Mark: Come on. Say it, say it, say it. "I'm a fucking junkie." You might like it.
Allison: Fuck you. It's a pill.
Mark: It's heroin in a pretty little dress.
Allison: I thought you were the nice one.
Daniel: You're grounded. You hear me? You're grounded until... Shit, I can't think of when you won't be grounded.
Daniel: ... to this day, every time I see him, I beg for his forgiveness. It's just a little dance we do. A mere formality. Because we both know... that there are some things that are just impossible to forgive. I do believe even God knows that.
Allison: ... That was just a little serenade for your people from the heavens above.
Daniel: Think that's one of the reasons I enjoy it so much.
Allison: Why? 'Cause you get to play God?
Daniel: Well, so much of my life has been outta control. Down here, I get to decide if Olivia chooses me. I get to decide if my father comes to pick me up at the station when I get home...
Allison: Did he?
Daniel: You know what they say.
Diane: What?
Daniel: "Comparison is the thief of joy."
Diane: Oh. I didn't know they said that.
Daniel: Well... somebody did.
Daniel: This isn't how it was supposed to be... I'm a good person. I never said God has to be fair. I just never thought he could be this cruel.

Daniel: And what kind of a punch was that? You throw this hard right hook and then you leave yourself wide open for the jab. We're gonna have to work on that.
Becka: Karl Marx was wrong. Turns out the opiate of the masses is opium.
Allison: I just wanna get as far away from here as possible.
Diego: Yo, there's this app, it tells you the exact opposite of where you are on the globe is. That's where you should go. I'll look it up for you...
Mark: Yo, that's how I feel every fuckin' day of my life. I can't seem to escape this town. It's like there's a force field around it or something. Like, some people know how to get outta here. But the rest of us, we just keep banging our heads up against the glass.
Diego: ...It's Perth. That's the city on the other side of the globe from here. You should go to Perth.
Mark: Come on. Say it, say it, say it. "I'm a fucking junkie." You might like it.
Allison: Fuck you. It's a pill.
Mark: It's heroin in a pretty little dress.
Allison: I thought you were the nice one.

24 Hours to Live (2017)
Keith Zera: I remember the first time I set foot in Africa. Thought I'd hate if just like Iraq, you know? Figured, it's just more fucking sand to kill each other over. But I was wrong... It was the most beautiful place I ever seen. Took my fucking breath away.
Frank: The fish hate you, you know.
Travis Conrad: You think?
Frank: Yeah. Fish like older men. If you read more, you'd know about these things. And because they hate you, we haven't caught anything.
Frank: You know... The shortest distance between two points is a straight line.
Travis Conrad: Yeah. That's brilliant.
Frank: Why are we not doing it?
Travis Conrad: So, what do you want?
Jim Morrow: I want you to have a drink. Try a peanut. They're great... I want you to put a pin in your vacation for a couple days. I need you to kill somebody for us.
Travis Conrad: For what?
Jim Morrow: See, I just got you two million reasons a day why the answer to that question doesn't matter.
Lin Bisset: What do you do?
Travis Conrad: I think I'm starting to like you, so I don't want to answer that.
Lin Bisset: So you're a stripper.
Travis Conrad: No. No, no. Let's just say that, um... my company tries to convince people to buy things by persuading them they can't live without them.
Jim Morrow: No more wet work. I gave my word.
Wetzler: To whom? Your wife?... Jim, this is the moment, you realize, that the unseen line between friendship and profession is not where you thought it was.
Travis Conrad: What is happening to me?
Dr. Helen: You're going to die. Again.
Travis Conrad: I don't want to kill you. I want the fish to like me.
Travis Conrad: If you'd like to see tomorrow, you just keep making shit work.
Jim Morrow: Semper fi.
Jim Morrow: You know what this is? This is the moment where you realize that the line between friendship and profession is not where you thought it was.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)
Mantis: Come on, Drax. Dance.
Drax: Only idiots dance.
Kraglin: Mantis, why don't you just touch him and, you know, make him happy?
Groot: I am Groot?
Kraglin: Dude!
Drax: Gross!
Cosmos: No, not like that. Touch him with her powers.
Mantis: It is wrong to manipulate the feelings of friends.
Kraglin: 'Bout that time you made me fall in love with my sock?
Mantis: Well, that was funny.
Peter Quill: Maybe they'll have a way for us to override the kill switch and save Rocket.
Drax: They won't just give us that information.
Peter Quill: Well, that's why we're gonna break in.
Drax: We kill anyone who gets in our way!
Peter Quill: Not kill anyone.
Drax: Kill a few people.
Peter Quill: Kill no people.
Drax: Kill one guy, one stupid guy who no one loves.
Peter Quill: Now you're just making it sad.
Peter Quill: Well, what I'm trying to say...
Mantis: Peter, you know this is an open line, right?
Peter Quill: What?
Mantis: We're listening to everything you're saying.
Drax: And it is painful.
Peter Quill: And you're just telling me now?!
Nebula: We were hoping it would stop on its own.
Peter Quill: But I switched it over to private!
Mantis: What color button did you push?
Peter Quill: Blue, for the blue suit!
Drax: Oh, no!
Nebula: Blue is the open line for everyone.
Mantis: Orange is for blue.
Peter Quill: What?!
Mantis: Black is for orange... yellow is for green, green is for red, and red is for yellow.
Drax: No. Yellow is for yellow... green is for red, red is for green.
Mantis: I don't think so.
Drax: Try it then.
Mantis: HELLOOO!!! You were right.
Peter Quill: How the hell am I supposed to know all of that?
Drax: Seems intuitive.
Teefs: I have been thinking.
Rocket: 'Bout what?
Teefs: Nothing in particular. But I thought, since you guys are my closest friends... and my only friends... you might be interested in knowing that I have been thinking.
Gamora: It's almost certainly a trap.
Peter Quill: Trap isn't a trap if you know the trap is trying to trap you. It's a face-off.
Gamora: A face-off is a trap if you're facing off... against a guy a thousand times more powerful than you.
Gamora: What are you so afraid of in your self that I need to be something for you? I don't give a shit about your Gamora.
Drax: Quill... life is a pond... and you've spent your entire life leaping from woman to woman... as if they're lily pads upon this great pond. Perhaps, what you need to do, Quill... is learn to swim.
Peter Quill: ... That actually made sense.
Drax: Yes, it made sense.
Peter Quill: No, I mean, that's sort of an analogy. And I didn't know that you were capable of that type of thought.
Drax: I know lots of analogies, Quill. Analogies, metaphors, et cetera. For instance... Gamora's head is like a lily pad because it is green. Analogy. And also stupid-looking... and flappy.
Peter Quill: Flappy?
Drax: Because her skin is made of a leaf. Metaphor.
Peter Quill: Is it?
Drax: Yesterday, I made a poop shaped like a fish. Even my butt is capable of making an analogy.
Mantis: What are you doing?
Drax: I got a bad feeling about this.
Mantis: Peter just told you to stay here.
Drax: Yeah, well, that's his fault. He should know by now that I never do anything that anyone ever tells me.
Mantis: It's not his fault he's stupid.
Nebula: He's a liability.
Mantis: He makes us laugh and he loves us. How is that a liability? All you care about is intelligence and competence.
Drax: Not sure I appreciate this defense.
Mantis: He has sadness... but he's the only one of you who doesn't hate himself. So I don't care if he's stupid.
Drax: You think I'm stupid?
Mantis: Yes.
Lylla: My beloved raccoon. This story has been yours all along, you just didn't know it.
Rocket: I'm not a raccoon.
Cosmos: The Soviet put me on a rocket... knowing full well I'm never to return and I will die... in a fiery ball of death. But one thing even mudak Soviets never do... is call me bad dog.
Rocket: I'm done runnin'.
Adam Warlock: Why? Why are you doing this? I tried to kill you.
Groot: I am Groot.
Drax: He says... "everyone deserves a second chance."
Rocket: The name's Rocket. Rocket Raccoon.
The High Evolutionary: All I wanted to do... was to make things... perfect.
Rocket: You didn't wanna make things perfect. You just hated things the way they are.
Groot: I love you, guys.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023)
Hespera: Turns out museums are fun. Let's have more of it.
Shazam: I'm an idiot. I don't deserve these powers, if I'm being honest. Like, what am I even contributing? There's already a superhero with a red suit, with a lightning bolt on it and I'm fast, but he's faster. Aquaman is literally huge, and he's so manly and Batman is so cool! And I'm just me.
Mary Bromfield: At some point, Billy, like everyone on Earth, we have to get a job or... leave home. Nothing lasts forever.
Hespera: The daughters of Atlas are coming for you. ... They're coming to unmake your world and torture mankind for all eternity in the Pit of Endless Agony.
Shazam: Okay, I feel like maybe I should be writing all this down.
Steve: "The Wisdom of Solomon,
Strength of Hercules,
Stamina of Atlas,
Power of Zeus,
Courage of Achilles,
Speed of Mercury."
Shazam: Whoa, guys, look! This is what the name means.
Shazam: Okay, look. I might not have as much experience as you 'cause I'm not, like, super old like you, but I think I have a few experiences that you don't have. 'Cause I've seen all of the Fast and the Furious movies, lady. And let me tell you something. It's all about family!... Family!
Kalypso: Anthea, humans are villains, even to themselves. ... Humans wreak havoc and devastation, then pray to the gods to absolve them. They actually pray for order and peace when all they do is dismantle it at every turn.
Shazam: I know this is a lot to take in, but I promise to explain it all later.
Victor Vasquez: Explain what? That our kids are superheroes being hunted by Greek gods that used a dragon to destroy the house we just bought?
Shazam: Hey! Khaleesi!
Darla Dudley: Taste the rainbow, motherfu...
Shazam: Hey, you know, just because your father's power is surging through me, that doesn't technically make us related, you know, and I'm gonna be 18 in, like, five months, so...
Wonder Woman: Stick to saving the world, kid.
Shazam: Hey, just a little constructive criticism. It's pretty confusing that there are two separate groups of superheroes that are totally unaffiliated, but both have "Justice" in their name, you know. Like, have you guys ever thought about doing a rebranding of sorts? 'Cause just a quick search on Thesaurus.com, you got so many options, man. Like, "Authority Society." Eh? Uh, uh, "Code Society." That's stupid. These are, like, legal terms. "The Avenger Society!" I like that, for some reason.

Crooked House (2017)
Charles Hayward: Is everything all right?
Edith de Haviland: Do you know anything about moles?
Charles Hayward: No. I'm afraid not.
Edith de Haviland: I have an arsenal of other weapons, of course, traps, poisons. Sometimes I use holly. It pricks them, do you see? Makes them bleed. Moles are hemophiliacs. Little bleeders. Like some European royals. Though I do find a shotgun best expresses my feelings.
Sophia Leonides: We're a very odd family, Charles. There's lots of ruthlessness in us and different kinds of ruthlessness. That's what's so disturbing. The different kinds.
Charles Hayward: Anything you'd like to tell me?
Josephine Leonides: Not yet. You see, I read detective stories. And a good detective will take time to gather evidence... and question everyone before solving a case. The murderer is never the one you initially suspect.
Edith de Haviland: [Aristide Leonides was a] little man, Mr. Hayward, who cast a large shadow. A very large and rather crooked shadow.
Josephine Leonides: Did you find many clues?
Charles Hayward: You know, Josephine... the first round of interrogation is not so much about finding clues... as it is about getting a sense of who you're dealing with.
Charles Hayward: May I ask you a blunt question?
Edith de Haviland: They're the only interesting kind.
Charles Hayward: What's wrong with people in this house?
Edith de Haviland: It is a blunt question indeed.
Charles Hayward: Sorry.
Edith de Haviland: Don't be. Passion. It is a hothouse of suppressed passion. This is what happens when the person you love the most in the world... who you would give your life for... is actually the same person that you hate the most... I'm certain you understand, Mr. Hayward. You wouldn't be in this house yourself otherwise, would you?
Charles Hayward: Any of them could've done it. They all had means. They all had opportunity.
Chief Inspector Taverner: Motive?
Charles Hayward: Anger, jealousy, love, greed. Take your pick.
Chief Inspector Taverner: So no communist? No Las Vegas mafia? No CIA conspiracy? We're investigating too. Quietly. But you can go in the house without a warrant. Get back in there and find out who killed the bloody midget.
Josephine Leonides: I hear you're making progress. But you won't be the one who solves this case. If anything, you're Watson.
Charles Hayward: Is that right? Well, why don't you enlighten me, Holmes?
Josephine Leonides: I'd say we're due another murder. Don't you think, Watson?
Charles Hayward: Another murder, Holmes?
Josephine Leonides: Well, there's always a second murder. Someone who knows something is bumped off... before they can reveal what they know.
Edith de Haviland: Well, then, Charles. How about a blunt question for you, then? What are murderers like?
Charles Hayward: Well, you. And me. Everyone. Hot-blooded. Cold-blooded. They do share one or two traits. Vanity. A distorted morality. A lack of empathy. And murderers tend to feel that they are above... the rules and laws that govern ordinary mortals.
Magda Leonides: Well, that description fits every member of this family.
Edith de Haviland: Well... always leave a party at its height... when you're most enjoying it.
Charles Hayward: You listen to me. I daresay you are extremely clever. It won't be much good to you if you're not alive long enough to enjoy the fact. Don't you understand, you foolish child, that so long as you insist... on keeping secrets, you put yourself in imminent danger?
Josephine Leonides: Of course I do. But in some books, person after person is killed. You end by spotting the murderer because he or she... is practically the only person left. We must see what happens next.

Tetris (2023)
Eddie: What's it called?
Henk Rogers: Tetris.
Eddie: Tetris... I don't get it.
Henk Rogers: It's a combination of tetra, Greek for "four"... All the game's pieces are variants of four... and tennis.
Eddie: Tennis?
Henk Rogers: Tennis. Yeah, supposedly, the Russian inventor, he, um... he likes tennis.
Tracy: Here, Henk. Try it.
Henk Rogers: Was this coded in Pascal, or C?
Henk Rogers: But, Eddie, I played Tetris for five minutes, yeah. I still see falling blocks in my dreams. This game isn't just addictive. It stays with you. It's poetry. Art and math all working in magical synchronicity. It's… It's the perfect game.
Henk Rogers: But, Eddie, this is different. Tetris is already a hit.
Eddie: Where?
Henk Rogers: Russia.
Eddie: Henk, there is no video games business in Russia.
Henk Rogers: I know.
Henk Rogers: It all began with a guy named Alexey Leonidovich Pajitnov, four years ago. By day, he worked as a programmer for the government at the Soviet Computer Science Center. But by night, he invented games for fun. His computer, a Stone Age, Soviet piece of crap called an Electronika 60, didn't even have a graphics card. His falling blocks were parentheses pushed together.
Henk Rogers: Alexey and a couple of buddies from work made the game IBM-compatible. Which meant color graphics, 8-bit music and floppy disks that people copied and shared for free. It spread like wildfire.
Henk Rogers: But this is the Soviet Union, remember? Nothing gets out easily. It would take an entrepreneur to actually go there and monetize it.
Eddie: Who? You?
Henk Rogers: Jesus, no. I'm not that crazy. That was Robert Stein.
Hiroshi Yamauchi: Not too bad.
Henk Rogers: Really?
Hiroshi Yamauchi: We publish our games in-house. We don't use outside partners.
Henk Rogers: You don't do it often, true. But you do make exceptions. Because you know as well as I do, partners are what make us great. That's why Mario has Luigi. That's why Zelda has Link. That's why Mike Tyson has whoever he's punching out in Punch-Out!!
Henk Rogers: This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Eddie. Nintendo is letting me become a publisher. Nintendo. It's a license to print money.
Henk Rogers: An NDA? Why?
Howard Lincoln: Because only ten other people in the world have seen what you're about to see, and, to be honest, we don't trust you.
Henk Rogers: 8-bit graphics?
Minoru Arakawa: Yes, and a brand-new Sharp LR35902 core at 4.19 mega-hertz with eight kilobytes internal RAM.
Henk Rogers: Impressive. No color screen?
Minoru Arakawa: Color, you'd need eight batteries instead of four. It's too expensive. This gives you 30 hours of game play, all for $89.
Henk Rogers: What's it called?
Howard Lincoln: It's called the Game Boy.
Henk Rogers: Gentlemen, if you wanna sell a couple hundred thousand Game Boys to little kids, package them with Mario. But if you wanna sell millions of Game Boys to absolutely everyone, young and old, around the world, package them with Tetris.
Howard Lincoln: Can you get us the rights?
Henk Rogers: Screw it. I'm gonna go to Moscow.
Howard Lincoln: Wait, wait, wait. Hold on, you can't just go to the Soviet Union, Henk. You need a... You need a business visa, a full background check. It takes months.
Henk Rogers: Well, I'll get a tourist visa then.
Howard Lincoln: So, you'll lie? That's a felony. They could throw you in jail.
Henk Rogers: I'll take my chances.
Howard Lincoln: Who you gonna talk to?
Henk Rogers: Some company called ELORG.
Howard Lincoln: Companies don't exist in the USSR, Henk. ELORG is probably KGB.
Henk Rogers: Do you guys want this game or not?
Howard Lincoln: Yeah, course we do. But you're walking into a communist country that still considers America enemy numero uno. If you go, we can't protect you.
Henk Rogers: Okey dokey then.
Immigration Agent: You're Danish?
Henk Rogers: Huh? No. I'm Dutch.
Immigration Agent: Yet you sound American.
Henk Rogers: Well, I grew up in New York, but I'm Dutch. An... And I live in Japan.
Sasha: Salutations. You're in need of succor?
Henk Rogers: Excuse me?
Sasha: Uh, succor. Noun. Uh, assistance in times of stress. Synonymous with help... Sasha. Translation services. Esteemed to meet you.
Henk Rogers: Oh.
Sasha: He inquires, "What is Nintendo?"
Henk Rogers: Ha. Very funny... Uh, Nintendo's the most popular video game console in the world, sir.
Sasha: He denies obtaining a tape. And says that this is an illegal copy. Mr. Rogers, I think we should vanish.
Henk Rogers: He thinks I stole Tetris?
Sasha: Affirmative.
Henk Rogers: Pascal or assembler?
Alexey Pajitnov: I was gonna ask you the same thing.
Henk Rogers: Um, I like Pascal. Assembler is my go-to. But never underestimate…
Alexey Pajitnov: …the power of BASIC.
Henk Rogers: That's spooky.
Howard Lincoln: What makes you so sure this Alexey character isn't lying?
Henk Rogers: Because he's the only one who stands to gain nothing from this.
Sasha: Why is it so important that the Maxwells win? Isn't the offer with more money better for the Soviet Union?
Valentin Trifonov: I'll concern myself with the fate of the Soviet Union. You go and do your job. Dismissed.

Henk Rogers: I'll take my chances.
Howard Lincoln: Who you gonna talk to?
Henk Rogers: Some company called ELORG.
Howard Lincoln: Companies don't exist in the USSR, Henk. ELORG is probably KGB.
Henk Rogers: Do you guys want this game or not?
Howard Lincoln: Yeah, course we do. But you're walking into a communist country that still considers America enemy numero uno. If you go, we can't protect you.
Henk Rogers: Okey dokey then.
Immigration Agent: You're Danish?
Henk Rogers: Huh? No. I'm Dutch.
Immigration Agent: Yet you sound American.
Henk Rogers: Well, I grew up in New York, but I'm Dutch. An... And I live in Japan.
Sasha: Salutations. You're in need of succor?
Henk Rogers: Excuse me?
Sasha: Uh, succor. Noun. Uh, assistance in times of stress. Synonymous with help... Sasha. Translation services. Esteemed to meet you.
Henk Rogers: Oh.
Sasha: He inquires, "What is Nintendo?"
Henk Rogers: Ha. Very funny... Uh, Nintendo's the most popular video game console in the world, sir.
Sasha: He denies obtaining a tape. And says that this is an illegal copy. Mr. Rogers, I think we should vanish.
Henk Rogers: He thinks I stole Tetris?
Sasha: Affirmative.
Henk Rogers: Pascal or assembler?
Alexey Pajitnov: I was gonna ask you the same thing.
Henk Rogers: Um, I like Pascal. Assembler is my go-to. But never underestimate…
Alexey Pajitnov: …the power of BASIC.
Henk Rogers: That's spooky.
Howard Lincoln: What makes you so sure this Alexey character isn't lying?
Henk Rogers: Because he's the only one who stands to gain nothing from this.
Sasha: Why is it so important that the Maxwells win? Isn't the offer with more money better for the Soviet Union?
Valentin Trifonov: I'll concern myself with the fate of the Soviet Union. You go and do your job. Dismissed.

Extraction 2 (2023)
Tyler Rake: Thanks, Nik. For keeping me around. Really excited about this next chapter of my life.
Nik Khan: Believe it or not, it's pretty difficult to let someone you care about die... But you fought your way back. You just have to find out why.
Zurab Radiani: One of our prize bulls is sick. We have to kill him. Bury him before he infects the others.
Tyler Rake: What's this?
Nik Khan: We packed up your house. This is all we found. Your entire life fits in one little box. Maybe it's time to change that.
Alcott: This is beautiful, honestly, but the tea? Not so much. You're out of milk, by the way.
Alcott: Job starts in six weeks. We take our cut, and for, uh, political considerations, you're on your own. If all goes well, you don't get caught or shot in the face, I'll meet you on the other side and give you a kiss.
Keto: You're scaring him.
Tyler Rake: Yeah, well, he's about to be terrified.
Tyler Rake: Do you trust me?
Nik Khan: Should I not?
Alcott: Rake... That's such a fun name to say.
Tyler Rake: You never told me your name. Is it as much fun?
Alcott: My name doesn't matter.
Tyler Rake: Yeah? What does?
Alcott: Who I work for.
Tyler Rake: Who's that?
Alcott: A gnarly motherfucker. You'll love him...

Violent Night (2022)
UK Mall Santa: This is my, uh, fourth year as a Santa.
Santa: Ah.
UK Mall Santa: How about you?
Santa: Lost count. I forget why I started doing it in the first place.
UK Mall Santa: Same reason anybody does anything. The money.
Santa: Money. Money. This whole planet runs on greed.
UK Mall Santa: It's the look on the kiddies' faces, innit? That's what does it for me.
Santa: Ah, the look. Yeah, that look. Lasts about two seconds. As soon as they're finished unwrapping, they want the next present, they want the next cool thing. That's how this world works.
Santa: And kids... What kids have become. They're just like little junkies. They're little shits. They just demand. They don't believe. They just want, crave, consume.
Santa: Maybe this is my last year. The last Christmas...
Santa: I better get going. Presents aren't gonna deliver themselves.
Scrooge: This is what breaking into a vault has turned into? Remember when you just had to drill holes and blow shit up? I don't know, maybe I'm getting old, but there was something romantic about that.
Santa: Oh, shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Video game. Video game. Didn't anybody ask for a bat or a sword or Molotov cocktails?
Trudy: Hello? Santa?
Santa: Yeah, this is Santa.
Scrooge: I want to make it my personal mission, my holiday to-do list, to find you and to end you and to wipe my ass with you and this whole fucking holiday. That's what I want for Christmas, Santa.
Santa: That is a terrible thing to want for Christmas.
Santa: Don't be too hard on your parents, all right? Grown-ups have a hard time believing things.
Trudy: Can you use your Christmas magic to make them love each other again?
Santa: I wish I had that kind of power. Mrs. Claus and I have been going on year, uh, 1,100, and... Grown-up relationships are complicated. It takes work. A lot of work.
Candy Cane: You don't think...
Scrooge: Now, I know you're an idiot, but don't be an idiot out loud.
Gertrude: Jean-Claude Van Dipshit just ditched us, sweetie.
Santa: Trudy, I want you to, uh... just do me a favor. Just turn around and close your eyes. Maybe put your fingers in your ears and, uh, sing "Jingle Bells" as loud as you can.
Trudy: I'm okay, Mommy. This is my friend, Santa.
Linda: I can't thank you enough, Mister...
Santa: Claus. But please call me Santa.
Scrooge: Whatever it takes... Christmas dies tonight.
Santa: Hyah! Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! On, Cupid! On, Donner and Blitzen! Come on, you beautiful bastards! We've got some work to do! Hyah! Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!
