View Quote Brace up yards, you cack-handed deck apes!

View Quote When a man's wealth was earned by the sweat of his brow, and the strength of his back.

View Quote I write what I see, the endless procession to the guillotine. We're all lined up, waiting for the crunch of the blade... the rivers of blood are flowing beneath our feet... I've been to hell, young man, you've only read about it.

View Quote I didn't create this world of ours. I merely recorded it.

View Quote In order to know virtue, we must acquaint ourselves with vice. Only then can we know the true measure of a man.

View Quote For too long I've been parched of thirst and unable to quench it! Too long I've been starvin' to death and haven't died! I feel nothing! Not the wind on my face, nor the spray of the sea... nor the warmth of a woman's flesh...

View Quote I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request. [after a confused silence from Elizabeth] Means "no."

View Quote First, your return to shore was not part of our negotiations nor our agreement, so I must do nothin'. And secondly, you must be a pirate for the Pirate's Code to apply, and you're not. And thirdly, the Code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules. [smiles] Welcome aboard the Black Pearl, Miss Turner!

View Quote My castle, my rules.

View Quote Forget everything else, and just say it to me. Say it to me, as a friend.

View Quote Lionel Logue: Do you know any jokes?
King George VI: ...Timing isn't my strong suit.

View Quote "A fish-fork is no match for my machine!"

View Quote "It is so easy to get the better of people when they care about each other — which is why evil will always have the edge.

View Quote "Tonight I am going to do to Champion City what I have done to its greatest superhero — und there will still be time to go up, get down... und boogie!"

View Quote I say a prince should rather be slow to take action and should watch that he does not come to be afraid of his own shadow.

View Quote [to Elizabeth] Madam, if I may. A prince should never flinch from being blamed for acts of ruthlessness which are necessary for safeguarding the state and their own person. You must take these things so much to heart that you do not fear to strike. Even the very nearest that you have if they be implicated.

View Quote [to a priest he is having tortured] Tell me, what is God to you? Has he abandoned you? Is he such a worldly god that he must play at politics in the filth of conspiracy? Is he not divine? Tell me the truth, as if you were face to face with him now. I'm a patient man, Father.

View Quote [on first hearing the tragic ending to Romeo and Juliet] Well, that will have them rolling in the aisles.

View Quote The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster.

View Quote Let us have pirates, clowns, and a happy ending, or we shall send you back to Stratford to your wife!

View Quote The air currents warm in different ways, you see... ...from the sky to the ocean. You can't fight them. You have to feel them with your gizzards.

View Quote My days as Lyze are well behind me. And that battle is a distant memory. Except, funnily enough, for young owlets like you.

View Quote Well, while the rest of us had our talons deformed too. But I say caution when the losses could be so many. I would never counsel rushing blindly into war, but for a cause such as the one the boy described, for a violation of peace so blatant, so powerful... ...of course I'd fight!

View Quote Nigel: Fish gotta swim, birds gotta eat.

View Quote Nigel: Okay. Don't make any sudden moves. Hop inside my mouth, if you want to live.

View Quote [Nigel, Marlin and Dory both smile and flew straight to the dentist's office; clanging]
Gurgle and Deb: Ahhhhh!
Bubbles: Too loud! Too loud for me!
Darla Sherman: [first words] Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Peach: Find a happy place. Find a happy place, find a happy place!
Barbara: Darla, your uncle will see you now.
[Psycho theme plays]
Philip Sherman: All right, let's see those pearly whites.
Darla Sherman: Rah! I'm a piranha. They're in the Amazon.

Darla Sherman: [giggling] I get a fishy. Fishy, fishy, fishy.
Philip Sherman: [As soon as he picks up the plastic bag, he sees Nemo belly up.] Oh, no. Poor little guy.
[Deb gasps]
Bloat: He's dead.
Gill: Sharkbait!
Darla: Yay! Fishy, fishy, fishy.
Philip Sherman: Um... Must have left your present in the car, sweetie. [laughs]
[Darla moans]
Philip Sherman: I'll go and get it.
[Nemo opens one eye and winks at the Fish Gang. Everyone is surprised.]
Gill: [overjoyed] He's still alive.
Peach: He's not dead.
Bloat: What's happening? Why is he playing dead?
Gill: He's gonna get flushed down the toilet. He's gonna get out of here!
Deb: Yay.

Bloat: Dentist! Dentist!
Gill: He's over there!
Marlin: What's a dentist? What is that?
[Sherman opens the trash can]
Marlin: [gasps] Nigel, get in here!
Nigel: I can't go in there.
Marlin: Oh, yes you can. [grabs his tongue and pulls it forward, barging right into the dentist's office] CHARRRRRRRRRGEE!!!!!
Philip Sherman: [Darla starts screaming in horror] What the...?! [shouts; while Nigel is attacking him inside] Darla, sweetie, look out! Steady, steady, steady. Hold still. Hold still! Easy, easy! Hold still! Nobody's going to hurt you!
Marlin: [gasps looks and sees Nemo floating upside down. He thinks that his son was dead.] Nemo.
Dory: Oh, my goodness.

Marlin: Nemo!
Nemo: [stops pretending to be dead] Daddy?
Philip Sherman: OUT WITH YA! [slams the window] AND STAY OUT!
Nemo: Daddy?!
Darla Sherman: [picks up Nemo, upside down] Fishy? [starts shaking it] Fishy! Wake up! Wake up!!!
Deb: Oh, no!
Gill: Quick! To the top of Mount Wannahockaloogie!
Darla Sherman: Why are you sleeping?!
Peach: Hurry!
Gill: Bloat! [Bloat inflates, Deb, Bubbles and Gurgle pushes a little bit right] Ring of Fire!
[Jacques turns the Mount Wannahockaloogie on blast mode, it launches Gill out of the tank, flying. He lands flopping on Darla's head.]

Gurgle: Smack her in the head, would you?!

Darla Sherman: There's a fish in my hair!
[Gill lands on the tray next to Nemo.]
Nemo: [awakens and gasps] Gill.
Gill: Shark Bait... Tell your dad... I said... hi. [flops on the spoon]
[Nemo gets launched into the spit sink. He goes down the drain.]
Gill: Go get 'em.
[Philip Sherman groans, then gasps and puts Gill back in the tank]
Bloat: He did it! [laughs and cheering]
Deb: Yay!
Bubbles: I'm so happy!
Gurgle: Is he gonna be okay, Gill?
Gill: Don't worry. All drains lead to the ocean.
Darla Sherman: [last words] FISHY!!! [gets sprayed in the face with water]

View Quote It's a pity the law doesn't allow me to be merciful.

View Quote Reform is a discredited fantasy. Modern science tells us that people are by nature, law breakers or law abiders. A wolf could wear sheep's clothing but he's still a wolf.

View Quote [about Valjean] He lies so well, doesn't he? He's had a lot of practice. A lifetime of lies.

View Quote Carina: [watches the tattoo on Barbossa's arm] Who am I to you?
Captain Hector Barbossa: Treasure.

View Quote [Barbossa has just found out that Carina Smyth is his daughter]
Captain Jack Sparrow: Smyth. Smyth is quite an unusual name. Did we not once know someone called Smyth?
Captain Hector Barbossa: Shut your trap.
Captain Jack Sparrow: What was her name? It's right on the tip of me tongue.
[Barbossa draws his sword at Jack]
Captain Hector Barbossa: Do you want to lose that tongue?
Captain Jack Sparrow: Margaret Smyth. [Chuckles] Aye. Should we make an accord, then? Or shall I tell you-know-who what we both know to be true?
Captain Hector Barbossa: We both take this secret to our graves.
Captain Jack Sparrow: You mean it is true? I was bluffing.
Captain Hector Barbossa: I'm not!
Captain Jack Sparrow: You kill me, you got nothing to bargain the dead with. So you need me. [Barbossa puts down his sword] I'll have to be frank, Hector. You are very, very ugly. [Barbossa glares at Jack] So how could you produce a fetching creature such as that?
Captain Hector Barbossa: Margaret died. I summoned as much honor as a worthless blaggard ever could. I placed the infant in an orphanage, never to see her again. I thought the ruby might afford her some ease in life, but I never imagined she'd take those scribblings and make a life of her own, a life that's led her back to me.
Captain Jack Sparrow: I'd say this puts me in a rather favorable position, Daddy.
Captain Hector Barbossa: You tell me what you want.
Captain Jack Sparrow: I want me compass, 216 barrels of rum...and the monkey.
Captain Hector Barbossa: [Confused] You want Jack??
Captain Jack Sparrow: Dinner. I want to eat him, I want to eat that monkey...
[Jack the monkey puts something in Jack's mouth to stop him talking]
Captain Hector Barbossa: No deal, Jack. A clever young woman such as that would never believe that a swine like me could ever be her blood. And the Trident will be mine.

View Quote Captain Hector Barbossa: I have heard stores of a mighty Spanish captain who sunk and killed thousands of men...
Captain Armando Salazar: No, no, no, no! Men, no! Pirates! (flashback of Salazar's past plays) Pirates had infected the seas for generations, taking the life of my father and his father before him. So I vowed to end this plague once and for all. And that's what I did. I destroyed dozens of ships.

View Quote When you can stop, you don't want to. When you want to stop, you can't.

View Quote Casper: This is Jorge. Very limited English, but very large penis! Isn't that right Jorge?
Jorge: [shrugs] ... okay.

View Quote We deposit money from a fund that doesn't exist into a box we don't know about in a bank we've never set foot in. We can't help you because we never heard of you before.

View Quote [last lines]
Avner: Come to my house for dinner tonight. Come on, you're a Jew, you're a stranger. It's written somewhere that I should invite you to break bread with me. So, break bread with me, Ephraim.
Ephraim: No.
[both then go on their separate ways]
