View Quote Jake: [After the water bursts into Dirt] I'm gonna blow so many holes in you, your guts'll be leakin' lead!
Rango: Then it's a good thing I bought some backup.
[a hawk flies overhead. Jake sees it and hides, then notices something amiss.]
Jake: What? [sees that the "hawk" was really a flock of bats flying in formation] Ain't no hawk! Ain't nothing but bats! [goes out in the open and shoots at them]
Maybelle: Stick to the plan, boys! Let's bleed the devil dry!
[the flock spreads out. Jake shoots and laughs madly until he runs out of ammo. He turns to see Rango aiming his gun at him]
Rango: It only takes one bullet.
Jake: You ain't got the nerve...
Rango: [**** the gun] Try me.
[Jake looks in his eyes and is stunned, realizing Rango is dead serious]
Mayor: Oh, Mr. Rango. Aren't you forgetting something?
[they take Beans into the Bank of Dirt]
Mayor: Hand me your gun, Sheriff! [He pauses as he looks at his gun] Now, Mr. Rango!
[Rango slowly walks to Mayor]

View Quote Rattlesnake Jake: [to Rango] Hello, "brother". Thirsty? [fills glass with venom and throws it to the ground] Long time, "brother". How you been keepin'?
Rango: Oh, well, you know– [Jake quiets him with a loud hiss]
Jake: I hear you been tellin' about how you killed all them Jenkins brothers. With one bullet, weren't it? [chuckles] Ain't that right? All these good folks here believe your little stories, don't they? Why, they believe you're just a stone killer, don't they? Seems these folks trust you. They think you're gonna save their little town. They think you're gonna save their little souls! But we know better, don't we? [turns to Beans and licks her cheek before turning back to Rango] So why don't you show your friends what you're made of? Show 'em who you really are? [pulls out gun] Why don't you just pull your gun and shoot me? [empties out most of the bullets] But of course, you won't need all of these. Just one, right? [gives Rango the gun and points it in his face] Go head, hero. Pull the trigger. [Rango doesn't shoot] You got killer in your eyes, son? ... I don't see it. [Rango lowers his gun] You didn't do any of them things you said, did you? You didn't kill them Jenkins Brothers. You ain't even from the West, are you?! [Rango doesn't speak] Say it!
Rango: [whispers] No.
Jake: Oh, speak up! I don't think your friends here heard you.
Rango: No.
Jake: All you've done is lie to these good people. You ain't nothing but a fake and a coward. Ain't that right?
Rango: [softly] Yes.
Jake: LOUDER!
Rango: [clearly] Yes.
[the townsfolk, alongside Beans, stare at Rango in disbelief.]
Jake: [slithers around Rango] Listen close, you pathetic fraud. This is my town now. If I ever see you again, I will take your soul straight down to HELL! [grabs Rango and drops him to his knees]
[Rango stands up and looks at the scornful citizens who felt lied to. He then begins to leave.]
Beans [to Rango, puzzled.] Who are you?
[Rango silently walks away. The Mariachi Owls watch Rango walking sadly.]

View Quote Mayor: I appreciate how difficult this is for you, Beans, but you're making a practical decision.
Jake: Decisions, decisions.
Mayor: There's no need for any more suffering. [drinks from his glass of water] Your family's ranch is nothing but a wasteland now. Sign the deed, and relieve yourself of your father's burden.
Beans: [Looks ready to drink from her glass, but then becomes angry] My daddy was not a burden! [throws the water in the Mayor's face] Keep your blood money and I'll keep my land!
[the Mayor's face twitches; on cue, Rattlesnake Jake darts forward and traps Beans in his coils]
Jake: Do what he says, or by all the fires of the black pit, I'll squeeze them pretty brown eyes outta your skull!
Mayor: Now, hold on, Jake, there's no need to–
Jake: [interrupts the Mayor by bringing his head down to the Mayor's desk] LET ME DO MY JOB! You brought me in, now we're gonna play this thing out to the end! [Turns back to Beans] Sign the damn paper, woman!
Beans: Go to hell…
Jake: Where do you think I come from? Look into my eyes. I wanna see you die. [Brings his fangs closer to Beans, until he hears Rango shouting from outside]
Rango: JAKE! I'M CALLIN' YOU OUT! JAKE!
Jake: [moving to the window and seeing Rango] This day just got a little more interestin'...

Phillip: Safety first, Shaun.

About Underworld (2003 film)[edit]

View Quote [When Olbricht and Stauffenberg arrive at Fromm's office, Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel is inside; the two are engaged in a shouting match, arguing furiously.]
Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel: I have better things to do with my time than to come down here and clean up your mess! If you were enough of a man to run this department, I wouldn't have to do it myself! You're an old woman, Fromm! I'd send you to the front if I didn't think you'd surrender, just to be Montgomery's whore! [storms out as Fromm's secretary brings Stauffenberg and Olbricht in.]
General Friedrich Fromm: What is it you want?
General Friedrich Olbricht: I wanted to introduce our new man, Colonel Stauffenberg.
Fromm: Ah! From Africa. Well, I'd offer you my hand, but I might not get it back.
Col. Claus von Stauffenberg: I'd say the General's lost more important things this morning.
Fromm: [breaks out in laughter] It's about time they put somebody with balls into this office, [laughs] Please sit down, Colonel. And Olbricht, if you must. [Stauffenberg and Olbricht sit at Fromm's desk] They tell me you're critical of the war, Colonel, not that you don't seem to have good reason.
Stauffenberg: I am critical of indecision, General.
Fromm: In the field?
Stauffenberg: In Berlin.
Fromm: So, that's why you're here, I take it. To make decisions...
Stauffenberg: I've already made my decision. I'm here to help others make theirs.
Fromm: They say when there's no clear option, the best thing is to do nothing.
Stauffenberg: We're at war. We must act. Sometimes rashly.
Fromm: And what rash action did you have in mind, Colonel?
Stauffenberg: That would be a decision for the supreme military commander, sir.
Fromm: A supreme commander. Second only to the Chancellor. If I were that man, this war would be going quite differently.
Olbricht: Well, we were thinking the same thing. [pause]
Fromm: I don't need to remind you that we have all sworn an oath to the Fuhrer. [Carefully disables a listening device in his telephone] Having said that, I'm going to forget this conversation ever took place, in the strict understanding that such talk never occurs again under this roof. Is that clear?!
Stauffenberg: Yes, sir.
Olbricht: Yes, sir.
Fromm: Now you can tell your friends, Colonel, that I always come down on the right side, and as long as the Fuehrer is alive, you know what side that is.

View Quote [Fromm has learned that Stauffenberg and Olbricht tried to control the Reserve Army.]
General Friedrich Fromm: How dare you put the Reserve Army on standby without my knowledge! It damn near cost me my commission! And what in God's name made you think you even had the authority?!
General Friedrich Olbricht: It was only a drill. An exer-
Fromm: Oh, don't lie, Olbricht! Not to me. We both know it wasn't a drill.
Col. Claus von Stauffenberg: General, if I may...
Fromm: No you may not, Colonel. You may not do anything. Because not only have you proven to me you can't deliver, you've painted a target on my back. If I so much as sense you trying to move the Reserve Army again, I will personally have you both arrested. Do I make myself abundantly clear?
Olbricht: Yes, sir.
Stauffenberg: Yes, sir.
Fromm: [Holds up hand] Heil Hitler!
Olbricht: Heil Hitler. [Stauffenberg and Olbricht start to leave.]
Fromm: I'll hear you say it, Colonel!
[Stauffenberg stops in his tracks and turns around to face Fromm.]
Stauffenberg: [Holds up his arm without his hand] Heil Hitler!

View Quote [General Friedrich Fromm walks into a room where the plotters are lined up and surrounded by guards]
General Friedrich Fromm: If you have any last messages to your wives and children, I will hear them now. [Silence] Very well. A court martial convened by me in the Fuhrer's absence will pronounce sentence. Beck, you're under arrest. Colonel Mertz von Quirnheim, General Olbricht, Lieutenant Haeften, and the Colonel whose name I will not mention, are condemned to death.
Major Otto Remer: General, my orders are to take these men alive.
Fromm: Noted, Major.
Ludwig Beck: I'd like a pistol please. [General Fromm looks at him suspiciously] For personal reasons.
Fromm: [Takes pistol to a nearby table] Get on with it.
Remer: With all respect sir-
Fromm: That will be all, Major!
General Friedrich Olbricht: Killing us won't hide your involvement.
Fromm: My involvement? I don't know what you're talking about.
Lieutenant Werner von Haeften: You knew and did nothing. You're as guilty as any of us.
Fromm: [Scoffing] Spare me, Lieutenant.
Col. Claus Von Stauffenberg: No one will be spared.

View Quote Later on I may tell you about Tim's many failings as a man and as a table tennis player. But, important first is to say the one big thing. I've only loved three men in my life. My dad was a frosty bugger so that only leaves dear Uncle Desmond, B.B. King, obviously, and this young man here. I'd only give one piece of advice to anyone marrying. We're all quite similar in the end. We all get old and tell the same tales too many times. But try and marry someone kind. And this is a kind man with a good heart. I'm not particularly proud of many things in my life, but I am very proud to be the father of my son.

View Quote How many prostitutes will you need to talk to before this issue is solved? Dad: This is an odd moment for me because I had the same moment with my father when I'd just turned 21, and after it, my life was never the same so I approach it pretty, um, nervously.
Tim: Okay. When you're ready. It's all very mysterious.
Dad: Uh... Right. Tim, my dear son, the uh... The simple fact is the men in this family have always had the ability to... This is going to sound strange, be prepared for strangeness. Get ready for spooky time, but there's this family secret. And the secret is that the men in this family can travel in time. [Tim stares at him] Well, more accurately travel back in time. We can't travel into the future.
Tim: This is such a weird joke.
Dad: It's seriously not a joke.
Tim: So you're saying that you and granddad, and his brothers could all travel back in time?
Dad: Absolutely.
Tim: And you still do?
Dad: Absolutely. Although it's not as dramatic as it sounds. It's only in my own life. I can only go to places where I actually was and can remember. I can't kill Hitler or shag Helen of Troy, unfortunately.
Tim: Okay, stop. Um... [sighs] If it's true, which it isn't —
Dad: Although it is.
Tim: Although it isn't, obviously. But if it was, which it's not —
Dad: Which it is.
Tim: Which it isn't.

View Quote Tim: It's just... I though with the time thing...
Dad: No, I never said we could fix things. I specifically never said that. Life's a mixed bag, no matter who you are. Look at Jesus: he was the son of a God, for God's sake and look how that turned out.
Tim: I know... You must see I feel a bit cheated.
Dad: Don't. In fact, feel the opposite. The only people who give up work at 50 are the time travelers with cancer who want to play more table tennis with their sons.

View Quote [to Sheba] I knew who you were when we met. You were young. I knew it might get tough, but I was prepared. You're a good mother, but at times you've been a **** lousy wife. Why didn't you come to me? You could have told me how lonely you were. You never trusted me to help you. I'm not saying I was so **** fabulous, but I was here.

View Quote Richard Hart: Excuse me. Could one of you tell me what's going on? Is this some kind of coven?
Barbara Covett: I can explain perfectly. Would you like me to?
Sheba Hart: No. It's just that Barbara's had some very bad news about her cat.
Richard Hart: My condolences. Poor, poor pussy. Can I have my wife back, please?
Barbara Covett: I don't like your tone.
Richard Hart: Why is she always here? What kind of **** spell has she cast on you?

View Quote Barbara Covett: [voiceover] By the time I took my seat in the Gods, the opera was well into its final act.
Richard Hart: You're his teacher!
Sheba Hart: And you were mine! I'm not justifying. I'm not trying to justify it...
Richard Hart: You are so full of shit! It's totally different. You were twenty!
Sheba Hart: He's sixteen in May. He's not some innocent...
Richard Hart: Of course he's innocent! He's **** fifteen! Are you insane? If you meant to destroy us, why not do it with an adult? That's the convention, it's worked for centuries!
Sheba Hart: It wasn't about us, it...
Richard Hart: Why?
Sheba Hart: I ju-ju-just wanted him...
Richard Hart: WHY?
Sheba Hart: I don't know!
Richard Hart: [distraught] WELL FIND OUT!!

View Quote Matthias: Mr. Hauser, What is it you want?
Doug Quaid: I want to help you.
Matthias: That is not the only reason you are here.
Doug Quaid: I want to remember.
Matthias: Why?
Doug Quaid: So I can be myself, be who I was.
Matthias: It is each man's quest to find out who he truly is, but the answer to that lies in the present, not in the past. As it is for all of us.
Doug Quaid: But the past tells us who we've become.
Matthias: The past is a construct of the mind. It blinds us. It fools us into believing it. But the heart wants to live in the present. Look there. You'll find your answer.
