View Quote Marcus: [Kneels in front of a kneeling Alex] How many are inside?
Alex: [Thinking] Uh... 100.
Marcus: Answer the question.
Kahane: [Shakes Alex] Answer, bitch! [She stares at Duvall]
Marcus: You're a brave woman. [Stands up and shoots Sabian point blank in the head]

View Quote Marcus: Call Roenick.
Marion: Who's Roenick?
[Marcus tortures Bishop by pressing his gun against Bishop's gunshot wound]
Marcus: It's that son of a bitch out there. Isn't it? Call Roenick. Tell him I'm dead.
Marion: You know me, Marcus. I cannot tell a lie. [Laughs]
Marion: Look at you. When I first approached you ten years ago, you couldn't look me in the eye. One of those nervous God fearing types. Now, you put a bullet in me, no hesitation. You're quite the changed man this New Year's, Marcus.
Marcus: [Acknowledging Bishop's refusal to cooperate] Now, this is the last **** time. Tell me where Roenick is.
Jake: [Appearing] He doesn't have to. [Continues to walk towards Duvall aiming his gun] Drop your weapon.
[Duvall stands up and aims his weapon at Bishop with a long pause ensuing]
Marion: What are you waiting for? Shoot him.
Jake: Shut up! Put the gun down, Duvall.
Marcus: What are you going to do? Are you going to shoot me? Arrest me? You going to kill a cop?
Jake: There's only one cop here. Now, put the God damn gun down. You're caught! How many more people are you going to kill tonight?
Marcus: As many as it takes.
Jake: You make me **** sick!
[Duvall suddenly raises his gun and fires just as Roenick fires and they both fall]

View Quote Marcus: I'm looking at this as a matter of simple mathematics. We walk in and those 8 people survive and 33 lives are destroyed. The lives of my men and their families, people I'm responsible for, people I... people I love.
Kahane: I don't see any other way, Marcus. Blood trail leads right back to us. We don't have any other choice.
Marcus: We go through with it. We are going to have to live with this for the rest of our lives. But, you know something Michael, I could live with that, more than I could live with a cellmate. Once we step outside, those people are no longer civilians or cops. We got to put them all down without pause and without regard.

View Quote You know, Annie, you can always build a shrine to all the terrible things in the world, but it doesn't mean that you have to destroy anything that is good.

View Quote Annie: Steve, uh, upstairs... In the attic when you were gone, I went up there and I... I just... I really need you to go up there and see what I saw. There's a body. Yeah. I mean, I think it's my mother, I think, but I can't tell because the skin's all black and she's all distended but the head is gone. [crying] Will you, please? I just need you to go and see upstairs. Please, Steve. And then there's more.
Steve: You mean more than your mother's headless body? Of course there is.
[Steve looks in the attic, screams, then returns]
Steve: Jesus, ****!
Annie: Okay, there's more.
Steve: What the **** was that? Why didn't you call the police?
Annie: The police can't help us.
Steve: Who the **** is that up there?
Annie: Do you remember Joan, my friend whose grandson died? She took me to her apartment.
Steve: It did look like your mother.
Annie: Well, listen. She taught me how to do the seance. I didn't even want to, but she brought her grandson back and I saw it and felt it just like you did with Charlie. Now, look. This is my mother's album. Now look here. See this? See her? That's her. That's Joan. She didn't even mention knowing my mom and I've never met her before, but she approached me. She consoled me. She told me about this seance, and she showed me how. Now look at this. See this symbol? On the necklace my mom gave me. It's her necklace, right? They're both wearing it, and they're wearing it in every photo. And look at that pattern! Did you see up there? This was painted above the body, right? In blood!
Steve: You dug up the grave. It was you, wasn't it?
Annie: What?
Steve: All those nights you were pretending to go to the movies.
Annie: You're not even listening!
Steve: And then the day the cemetery called, I said, "Oh, I won't tell her because she'd be worried."
Annie: Oh, God damn it! Listen to me, Steve! I know you don't trust me and there is nothing I can do about that. But they put a curse on us when we brought Charlie back. We made a pact with something. Something that is in this house. I don't know what it is but it is after Peter. [shows a journal] I watched these pages fill. All of them are Peter! I'm sorry. I don't know what I did. I don't know what I did but Peter is in danger... And I started it. Now if we destroy this book, it will take me too. I tried to burn it. I tried. But my arm caught on fire on its own as if I was linked to it because I am linked to it. I understand this now. Please! If we don't destroy this book... [crying] Peter will... Oh, God. Do you understand? We have to do this. Please, please, please, please. For Peter. I need you to trust me, Steve. It needs to be me. It's my fault. It's my fault. I know it's my fault. Please. Please, I need you to throw it in the fire. Please, I just... I can't do it. I can't. I'm just too **** scared. But if we don't do it... If we don't do it, it's gonna be Peter, it's gonna be our son. Okay, I know this. I know so. Just, please, please, please, please, please... Steve, please. Please understand, baby. Please, please. Please throw it in the fire. Sweetheart, please. Please take it, take it. You gotta do it. You gotta do it.

View Quote Peter: You okay, Mom?
Annie: What?
Peter: Is there something on your mind?
Annie: Is there something on your mind?
Peter: Just seems like there... might be something you... wanna say.
Steve: Peter.
Annie: Like what? I mean, why would I wanna say something? So I can watch you sneer at me?
Peter: Sneer at you? I don't ever sneer at you.
Annie: Oh, sweetie, you don't have to. You get your point across.
Peter: Okay, so, fine, then say what you wanna say, then.
Steve: Peter.
Annie: I don't wanna say anything. I've tried saying...
Peter: Okay, so try again. Release yourself.
Annie: Oh, release you, you mean?
Peter: Yeah, fine, release me, just say it! Just **** say it!
Annie: DON'T you swear at me, you little shit! Don't you EVER raise your voice at me! I am your mother! You understand? All I do is worry and slave and defend you, and all I get back is that **** face on your face! So full of disdain and resentment and always so annoyed! Well, now your sister is dead! And I know you miss her and I know it was an accident and I know you're in pain and I wish could take that away for you. I WISH I could shield you from the knowledge that you did what you did, but you're sister is dead! She's gone forever! And what a waste... if it could've maybe brought us together, or something, if you could've just said "I'm sorry" or faced up to what happened, maybe then we could do something with this, but you can't take responsibility for anything! So, now I can't accept. And I can't forgive. Because... because NOBODY admits anything they've done!

View Quote [first lines] Kayley: Come on. [While Sir Lionel is helping Lady Juliana getting off of her horse, is standing on her horse.] Father! [As she jumps into her father's arms, they roll down onto a sandy beach hill.] Father, do you really have to go?
Sir Lionel: I’m afraid I must, Kayley. You know The King’s Knights will be here soon.
Kayley: Tell me again why you became a knight.
Lady Juliana: Kayley, you’ve heard it a thousand times!
Sir Lionel: Oh, but it’s fine dear. Well, my daughter, before you were born, the land was dark and treacherous. [draws three circles in the sand with his finger] The people stood divided, brother fighting brother. [We go to a flashback, where at three stone pillars holding the magic sword, Excalibur.] The only hope for peace was in the legend of Excalibur, for it was said that only the true king could pull the magical sword from its stone and unite the people. Many tried, all failed. [Everybody tries to pull out Excalibur, but to no avail, gave up] Then, on the very day you were born, [A young man emerges from the crowd] an unexpected hero stepped forth, his name was Arthur, [Arthur pulls out Excalibur, much to everybody's amazement] and he was that true king. With Excalibur at his side he led us out of the darkness [Years pass by, as a castle is being constructed] and together we built the greatest kingdom on Earth, [Everybody helped build a kingdom] everyone rejoiced. [All of Camelot's residents danced and formed the three interlocked rings, showing union and Kayley is dancing inside a drawn circle, where she is dreaming about Camelot]
Kayley: Camelot!
Sir Lionel: [shows Kayley the shield representing the three rings] And so these three rings represent the unity of our people. As a knight, I took an oath to protect Camelot, King Arthur, and Excalibur.
Kayley: The knights are here!
Sir Lionel: I must go now, Kayley. The king has summoned his knights for a special day in Camelot. [kisses Lady Juliana and begins to ride off] Goodbye.
Kayley: I’m coming with you daddy!
Sir Lionel: Yes, when you are old enough, Kayley. I will take you to Camelot. I promise. I love you.
Kayley: One day, I will be a knight, like father.
Sir Lionel: Let’s go!

View Quote Garrett: Kayley, I must tell you, I knew your father.
Kayley: You did?
Garrett: I used to live in Camelot. [We go to a flashback at Garrett who is younger and works in the stable] I was a stable boy, but I dreamt of becoming a knight. [Later the fire had broke out in one of the stables] One evening, there was a fire. [Garrett opens up the stable doors to free the horses] I rushed to save the horses but, Well. [A Horse accidentally hits Garrett in the eyes, making him fall to the ground in pain] I was hurt. [Garrett tries to see what's happened, but his vision is blurry] At first, all I could see were shapes, then shadows. Finally, my world went black. [Garrett's vision blacks out. In the morning he tries to find himself around when Sir Lionel sees him and grabs a stick] After I lost my sight [Sir Lionel passes Garrett the stick and teaches him the skills] Your father was the only one who still believed in me. He taught me that a knight's strength comes from his heart [Merlin and Ayden watch as Sir Lionel is teaching him] and his loyalty to the Oath of Camelot.
Sir Lionel: United we stand.
Both: Now and forever.
Garrett: Any hope I had of becoming a knight, died with him.
Kayley: I felt that way too, but I knew he would never want me to give up. He wouldn't want you to give up either. You're as good as any knight in Camelot.
Garrett: You really think so?

View Quote [singing] King Arthur: It's been ten years we celebrate, All that made our kingdom great, Liberty and justice for all, Each of us we now divide, for equal shares our countryside, promising equality for all we reside!
Knights of the Round Table: United we stand, now and forever, in truth, divided we fall. Hand upon hand, brother to brother, no one shall be greater than all. Liberty – Justice – Trust
Freedom – Peace – Honor
Goodness – Strength – Valor

Ruber: ME!!! [non singing] Charming sing along. Now, let's get down to business. I waited a long time for this day. What about my new land!
King Arthur: Sir Ruber. Always thinking of yourself. As knights of the round table, our obligation is to the people, not to ourselves. The land will be divided according to each person’s needs.
Ruber: Then I need more than everyone. I wouldn't have supported you all these years if I thought you were running a charity.
Sir Lionel: The King has decided!
Ruber: Then it's time for the new king, and I vote for me.
Sir Lionel: I will not serve a false king.
Ruber: Then serve... A DEAD ONE!
