Bradley Whitford movie quotes

View Quote [about Rose and Chris hitting a deer on the way] You know what I say? I say one down, a couple hundred thousand to go. I don't mean to get on my high horse, but I'm telling you I do not like the **** deer, I'm sick of it, they're taking over, they're like rats, they're destroying the ecosystem. I see a dead deer on the side of the road and I think to myself 'That's a **** start.'

View Quote Jeremy Armitage: Yo man, where are you going? The party is just starting.
Chris Washington: I'm just putting the bags in the car, man.
Missy Armitage: Would anyone like tea?
Chris Washington: No I'm good. We're leaving, actually.
Missy Armitage: Really? Why? Is there something wrong?
[Chris looks at Rose]
Rose Armitage: His dog got really sick, so he has to be at the vet first thing in the morning.
Chris Washington: Sorry.
Missy Armitage: How terrible.
Chris Washington: Rose, the keys.
Rose Armitage: I'm looking.
Dean Armitage: What is your purpose, Chris?
Chris Washington: What?
Dean Armitage: In life. What is your purpose?
Chris Washington: Right now it's finding those keys.
Dean Armitage: Fire. It is a reflection of our own mortality. We are born, we breathe and then we die.
Rose Armitage: I'm looking.
Dean Armitage: Even the sun will die someday. But we are divine. We are the gods trapped in cocoons.
Rose Armitage: [digging in her purse] I don't know where they are.
Chris Washington: Rose, give me those keys. Give me those keys! Rose, now, now! The keys!
[Jeremy swings a lacrosse stick at Chris, who pushes him away]
Jeremy Armitage: Whoa be careful bro.
Chris Washington: What the ****?
Jeremy Armitage: I didn't do anything.
Chris Washington: What the **** is going on? Where are those keys, Rose?
[long pause]
Rose Armitage: [holds up the keys] You know I can't give you the keys, right babe?

View Quote Dean Armitage: [opening the door to show the back yard] And now for the piece de resistance. The field of play. I love it. The nearest house is across the lake. Total privacy. [they see Walter working in the yard] I know what you're thinking.
Chris Washington: What?
Dean Armitage: Come on, I get it. White family, black servants. It's a total cliché.
Chris Washington: I wasn't going to take it there.
Dean Armitage: Well you didn't have to, believe me. Now, we hired Georgina and Walter to help care for my parents. When they died I just couldn't bear to let them go. But boy, I hate how it looks.
Chris Washington: Yeah, I know what you mean.
Dean Armitage: By the way, I would have voted for Obama for a third term if I could. Best president in my lifetime. Hands down.

Dr. Rick Stanton: Jesus... Good thing he's on our side.
Dr. Ilene Chen: For now.

View Quote [As Emma explains her actions to Mark and the rest of Monarch]
Dr. Emma Russell: And, uh...I can- I can only imagine what you are all thinking. But if there were any other way to do this, I would.
Mark Russell: Do what, Emma?
Dr. Emma Russell: I'm saving the world.
Mark Russell: By releasing those things? That doesn't make sense-
Dr. Emma Russell: As impossible as it seems, it does. Hear me out, Mark. After we lost Andrew, I swore his death would not be in vain. That I would find an answer. A solution to why the Titans were rising. But as I dug deeper, I realized that they were here for a reason, and that despite all the years trying to stop them, we never dared to confront the truth.
Mark Russell: Which truth?
Dr. Emma Russell: Humans have been the dominant species for thousands of years and look what's happened. Overpopulation. Pollution. War. The mass extinction we feared has already begun. And we are the cause. We are the infection. But like all organisms, the earth unleashed a fever to fight this infection. Its original and rightful rulers, the Titans. They are part of the earth's natural defense system, a way to protect the planet, to maintain its balance. But if governments are allowed to contain them, destroy them, or use them for war, the human infection will only continue to spread, and within our lifetime, our planet will perish...and so will we. Unless we restore balance.
Dr. Rick Stanton: And what's gonna to be left if you do this? A dead, charred world overrun by monsters?
Dr. Emma Russell: No, Dr. Stanton. The exact opposite. Just as how forest fire replenishes the soil or how a volcano creates new land, we have seen signs these creatures will do the same. San Francisco, Los Vegas, wherever the Titans go, life follows, triggered by their radiation. They are the only thing that can reverse the destruction that we started. They are the only guarantee that life will carry on. But for that to happen, we must set them free.
Dr. Ilene Chen: You're murdering the world.
Dr. Emma Russell: No. Because as difficult as this will be, I promise you mankind will not go extinct. Using the ORCA, we will return to a natural order. A forgotten order where we coexisted in balance with the Titans. The first gods.
Dr. Ishiro Serizawa: This is a dangerous path! You are meddling with forces beyond our comprehension, gambling with the lives of billions!
Dr. Emma Russell: And what are you gambling with, Serizawa? Monarch is broken. It's on the verge of being shut down by a government whose only objective is to eradicate the creatures, and if that happens, what will our chances be?
Mark Russell: You're out of your goddamned mind!!! First, you put our daughter's life in danger, now you decide the fate of the world. That's rich-!
Dr. Emma Russell: I couldn't be more sane, and Madison couldn't be stronger. After we lost Andrew, I trained her to survive, and at least now, she'll has a fighting chance!
Mark Russell: A fighting chanc-? Why don't you listen to yourself? It's not all math. Emma. Some things you can't control.
Dr. Emma Russell: And there are some things you can't run from!
Mark Russell: This won't bring him back to us.

View Quote Colonel Diane Foster: The oxygen destroyer, why wasn't Monster Zero affected?
Jackson Barnes: I mean, I'm no scientist, but I think it has something to do with his goddamn head growing back.
Dr. Rick Stanton: Well, I've never seen anything like it. It violates everything we know about the natural order.
Dr. Ilene Chen: Unless he's not part of the natural order.
Dr. Ishiro Serizawa: What do you mean?
[shows a cave painting of Godzilla and Monster Zero]
Dr. Ilene Chen: I was able to piece this together.
Sam Coleman: Well, he looks vaguely familiar.
Dr. Ilene Chen: It tells of a great dragon who fell from the stars. A Hydra whose storm swallowed both men and gods alike.
Mark Russell: What, you mean an alien?
Dr. Ilene Chen: Yes. He's not part of our natural order. And he's not mean to be here.
Dr. Ishiro Serizawa: A false king.
Dr. Rick Stanton: An invasive species. That could explain how he's creating these massive storms and the effect he's having on the other Titans. It's almost he's reshaping the planet to his own liking.
Dr. Ishiro Serizawa: These legends, what did they call him?
Dr. Ilene Chen: Ghidorah. "The one who is many."
Mark Russell: Ghi-what?
Sam Coleman: She said, "Gonorrhea."
Mark Russell: Huh?
Dr. Ilene Chen: Ghidorah!

View Quote Billy: Okay, alright...Alright, you got it. First Grade through Twelfth Grade all over again. I'll do each grade in two weeks, take the test, re-graduate, prove to you I'm not an idiot, and then I get to take over Madison Hotels.
Brian: That's some idea. You just think of that?
Billy: Yeah, I did. It's pretty good, huh?
Eric: Brian, don't you think the future of Madison Hotels and its sixty one thousand employees is too important to gamble on a game like this?
Brian: No. [to Billy] You're on.

View Quote [Max meets Eric in the kitchen]
Principal Anderson: [soaking wet] Hey, can you tell me where the bathroom is?
Eric: Yeah, down the hall, to your right.
Principal Anderson: Thanks. [about to go to the bathroom]
Eric: Hey, tubby, how about a little bathroom reading? [shows him a magazine with a cover of the younger Max dressed in a wrestling outfit] I have the August 1983 issue of Wrestling World here. There's a terrific article about a wrestler named the Revolting Blob. Gee, you know somethin'? He kinda looks like someone I know.
Principal Anderson: Where'd you get that?
Eric: I have a subscription. Bad guy. He threw one opponent out of the ring and hit a bunch of senior citizens. Boy, this wacko looks familiar.
Principal Anderson: What do I care about some stupid phony wrestling guy?
Eric: My God! In June 1983 he sat on some guy's head and killed him.
Principal Anderson: [bursting into tears] It was just a stunt! He was supposed to pinch my leg if he was running short of air.
Eric: With this guy sitting on everyone's head, I wonder how he got his teaching degree.
Principal Anderson: [alarmed] No! No, you can't do that to me. Those kids are my whole life!
Eric: So you wouldn't want anything to happen that would make 'em think less of you? [then Max ignores Eric] Max, are you ready to cooperate with me?
Principal Anderson: [sobs] Yes.
Eric: Then Madison Hotels is as good as mine!

View Quote Principal Anderson: [on TV] The statement I made about Billy Madison was, and is, completely untrue.
Eric: No.
Principal Anderson: I know now that I shall never escape my fate as the Revolting Blob.
Eric: No, no, no, no, no, no, NO! [angrily throws a stapler, and it hits his secretary, accidentally knocking her out]
Principal Anderson: It's something I must learn to live with.
Eric: [realizing what he did] Joyce?
[Cut to the next scene]
Brian: [livid about the set-up] What a mess. First, this psycho goes on TV, lies, then retracts it, and now Eric's secretary is in a coma. Carl, has anyone been able to find out anything about this Max guy?
Carl: No, sir. He's vanished. Nobody has any idea where he is.
Eric: [to Brian] I believed in Billy all along.
Billy: [to Eric] Oh, cut the horseshit! I know you blackmailed Max.
Brian: Take it easy, Billy. [to Eric] Things were going along great, until this wrestling freak messed things up. Billy should get another shot at high school.
Eric: Hey, rules are rules. Billy was supposed to finish each grade within the 2 weeks, or I get the company. He didn't finish 9th grade.
Carl: Eric, certainly there are extenuating circumstances.
Eric: Extenuating, exshmenuating! We had a deal. A signed, written deal. Each grade, 2 weeks, or I get the company.
Brian: Well, technically, you're right, but-
Eric: Oh, shut up, Brian! I've had to listen to your jawing for too long. [mimicking Brian] "Well, technically, mmeh-mmeh-mmeh-" [normal voice; loudly] Just SHUT UP! [gets up] Are you ready to hand the company over to me now?
Brian: No!
Eric: Then I'll see your ass in court.
Brian: Good.
Eric: Nice talkin' to ya, shitheads. [laughs]

View Quote Sitterson: I'm sorry, man.
Hadley: He had the conch in his hands.
Sitterson: I know. Couple more minutes, who knows what would have happened.
Hadley: I'm never gonna see a merman.
Sitterson: Dude, be thankful. Those things are terrifying. And the cleanup on them's a nightmare.

View Quote Mordecai: Cleanse them. Cleanse the world of their ignorance and sin. Bathe them in the crimson of - [pauses] Am I on speakerphone?
Hadley: No, absolutely not. Speakerphone no, I wouldn't do that.
Mordecai: Yes I am. I can hear the echo.
Hadley: Oh my god, you're right. Hang on one second I'll take you off.
Mordecai: That's rude. I don't know who's in the room.
Hadley: Fine, there. You're off.
...
Mordecai: Thank you. Don't take this lightly, boy. It wasn't all by your 'numbers'; the Fool nearly derailed the invocation with his insolence. The Ancient Ones see everything, and they will not - I'm still on speakerphone, aren't I?
Hadley: Oh my god Mordecai! I can't believe it did it again! Mordy, what happens next?

View Quote Truman: How can you wager on this when you control the outcome?
Hadley: No, we just get 'em in the cellar. They take it from there.
Sitterson: They have to make the choice of their own free will, otherwise the system doesn't work. Like the Harbinger. Creepy old ****, practically wears a sign, "YOU WILL DIE." Why do we put him there? The system. They have to choose to ignore him, just like they have to choose what's in the cellar. Yeah, we rig the game as much as we can, but in the end, they don't transgress ...
Hadley: They can't be punished.
