View Quote The Ancient One: You're a man looking at the world through a keyhole. You've spent your whole life trying to widen that keyhole. To see more. To know more. And now on hearing that it can be widened, in ways you can't imagine, you reject the possibility.
Strange: No, I reject it because I do not believe in fairy tales about chakras or energy or the power of belief. There is no such thing as spirit! We are made of matter and nothing more. We're just another tiny, momentary speck in an indifferent universe.
The Ancient One: You think too little of yourself.
Strange: Oh, you think you see through me, do you? Well, you don't. But I see through you!
[She strikes his astral form out of his body.]
Strange: What did you just do to me?!
The Ancient One: I pushed your astral form out of your physical form.
Strange: What's in that tea? Psilocybin? LSD?
The Ancient One: It's just tea. With a little honey.
Strange: What just happened?
The Ancient One: For a moment, you entered the astral dimension. A place where the soul exists apart from the body.
Strange: Why are you doing this to me?
The Ancient One: To show you just how much you don't know. Open your eye!
[She touches Strange's forehead and blasts him into a kaleidoscopic astral journey.]
The Ancient One: You think you know how the world works? You think that this material universe is all there is? What is "real"? What mysteries lie beyond the reach of your senses? At the root of existence, mind and matter meet. Thoughts form reality. This universe is only one of an infinite number. Worlds without end. Some benevolent and life-giving, others filled with malice and hunger. Dark places where powers older than time lie, ravenous and waiting. Who are you in this vast multiverse, Mr. Strange?
[Strange returns to Kamar-Taj and lands at the Ancient One's feet.]
The Ancient One: Have you seen that before in a gift shop?
Strange: [After a long beat] Teach me.
The Ancient One: No.

View Quote His parents are dead. I killed them. There is no one to come looking for him.

View Quote But you permitted man to live among you! You pretend that he is a wolf! But we both know that is the one thing he will never be! He will always be a man! You poisoned the jungle! But you are no longer leader now, are you? You missed your kill. And by your law, your pack must challenge you.

View Quote [On a wall monitor in North Wind headquarters, Dave appears, his red eyes up-close, with his tentacle in a fist, he does an evil laugh (after a failed call).]
Kowalski: Dave!
[Everyone glares at Dave as Short Fuse growls at him.]
Dave: Greetings, North Wind! I see you've met my old zoo-mates.
Skipper: We were never mates. There was no mating.
Classified: [shows him the small vial stolen by the penguins] Turn yourself in, David. You're powerless now that I've stolen your precious Medusa Serum.
Skipper: [tries to reach for the vial] What, you? You didn't steal that!
Classified: It's over.
Dave: It's over? Then why did I call you? Weird... Oh, maybe it was to show you this! [turns the camera to show the penguins and the North Wind a giant vial containing the serum as two octopuses behold it, much to their shock]
Kowalski: That is a lot of serum for 4 penguins.
Dave: Oh, you thought this was just about you four? No. No, no, no, no. We're just getting started. [takes a selfie] Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go do some shopping... for revenge! [presses a button to turn off the screen, but nothing happens. He presses it again, but nothing still happens]

View Quote Classified: Secure the mermaids and find me... [Sees Dave] David the octopus.
Kowalski: [After having dropped a skeleton to trap him] A little late, North Wind.
Skipper: Mission accomplished. High one! [The penguins do their high-one]
Classified: Corporal, take our prisoner... the one that belongs to us... into custody. [Corporal pushes the skeleton aside only for the scuba suit he's in to deflate] What?
Short Fuse: You melted him!? You birds are sick!
Kowalski: [finds an open sewer hatch leading to the pipes of the tanks, knowing that Dave is loose] (Oh, no.) He's going in through the pipes!
[Having made it to the tank of Mermaid Penguins which Private had been placed into, Dave drains the tank in a whirlpool, taking all the Shanghai penguins]
Private: [Trying to swim away from the whirlpool] Skipper!
Skipper: Private? Private! You got to get out of there! [Noticing the tentacle is about to grab him] No, no, no. No, no, no, no. Private!
Skipper: Private! No!
Private: [gets pulled into the drain with the other penguins in the tank] Skipper! No!
Kowalski: [Breaking the glass with a seal] Okay. Here we go.
Skipper: Move, move, move! He's got Private! He's getting away. He's getting away!
[The penguins chase down Dave in the North Wind's plane, and the North Wind chases after them]

View Quote [Private has saved the North Wind from Dave’s henchmen sending them to their doom]
Corporal: Supper. Well, done, Private!
Eva: Good work, malinka.
Classified: Yes. Yes. Excellent button-pushing. Complement, praise, etcetera. All right agents, we are back in business. [Private is delighted, yet the North Wind runs in the opposite direction]
Private: Wait! Skipper, Kowalski, Rico... all those penguins... they're this way!
Classified: So is a massive army of octopi. And as soon as we return to the North Wind Headquarters, grab fresh equipment and work up a smashing new plan we'll come speeding back, and take down Dave.
Private: But the penguins are in danger! We have to go now!
Classified: Again, "huge army of octopi."
Private: So because you failed once, you're just running away?
Classified: We did not fail, and we are not running away. We're just, very sensibly regrouping.
Private: Skipper wouldn't care! Plan or no, fancy equipment or no. He'd never leave a man behind.
Classified: Well, I suppose we can't all be penguins, can we? [North Wind turns to leave]
Private: No. [the North Wind looks back] But maybe you should be. [goes on his own to save his friends]

View Quote Peter Guillam: [on Karla] He went back to die, rather than give in.
George Smiley: And that's how I know he can be beaten. Because he's a fanatic. And the fanatic is always concealing a secret doubt.

View Quote [Haydon rides a bicycle into the Circus office.]
Peter Guillam: You got clearance for that?
Bill Haydon: Well, I'm not bloody chaining it up outside. Mind you, probably no better off in here with this bunch of bloody cut-throats, they'll have the gold out of your teeth!

View Quote Ricki Tarr: Mr Guillam, I'm sorry I was out for so long.
[Guillam attacks Tarr.]
George Smiley: Ricki's been helping us, Peter! He's been telling us all about his adventures.
Peter Guillam: He's a double, George! There is no mole! Irina's been locked up by Moscow! [turns on Tarr.] I stole that, because of you! I spied on my own, because of him! Do you know how that makes me feel?
