Atticus Finch

...you'll see white men cheat black men everyday of your life, but let me tell you something and don't you forget it, whenever a white man does that to a black man that white man is Trash!

Atticus Finch
[to Jem, about Bob Ewell]

No need to be afraid of him, son. He's all bluff. There's a lot of ugly things in this world, son. I wish I could keep 'em all away from you. That's never possible.

Atticus Finch

Tom Robinson's dead. They were taking him to Abbottsville for safekeeping. Tom broke loose and ran. The deputy called out to him to stop. Tom didn't stop. He shot at him to wound him and missed his aim. Killed him. The deputy says Tom just ran like a crazy man. The last thing I told him was not to lose heart, that we'd ask for an appeal. We had such a good chance. We had more than a good chance.

Princess Ann

At midnight, I'll turn into a pumpkin and drive away in my glass slipper.

Joe Bradley

And that will be the end of the fairy tale.

Princess Ann

I'm a good liar too, aren't I, Mr. Bradley?

Joe Bradley

The best I ever met.

Princess Ann

We spent the whole day doing things I've always wanted to. Why?

Joe Bradley

I don't know. It seemed the thing to do.

Princess Ann

I never heard of anybody so kind.

Joe Bradley

It wasn't any trouble.

Princess Ann

Also, completely unselfish.

Lewt McCanles

Pearl Chavez is my girl, and she'll always be my girl. Just as long as I want her to be. [shoots Sam] Has anybody else around her got any fancy ideas about Pearl Chavez? Well, don't seem to be no takers.

Lewt McCanles
[singing, after derailing a train for sport, killing many people]

I've been working on the railroad, all the live-long day...

Lewt

I'm riding back to that hitching post and then turning and starting to shoot.

Jesse

It's more than you did for Sam Pierce! Why all the consideration?

Lewt

I just don't want them fancy friends of yours to say you had a brother who shot you down in cold blood.

Robert Thorn

Get on with it. Say what you have to say.

Father Brennan

"When the Jews return to Zion, and a comet rips the sky, and the Holy Roman Empire rises, then you and I must die. From the Eternal Sea, He rises, creating armies on either shore, turning man against his brother, till man exists, no more." The Book of Revelation predicted it all.

Robert Thorn

I'm not here to listen to a sermon.

Father Brennan

It is by means of a human personality entirely in his possession that Satan will wage his last formidable offence.

Robert Thorn

You said that my wife was--

Father Brennan

Go to the city of Megiddo... in the old city of Jezreel. There see the old man Bugenhagen. He alone can describe how the child must die.

Robert Thorn

Look here--

Father Brennan

He who will not be saved by the lamb will be torn by the beast!

Robert Thorn

Will you stop? I'm here because you said my wife is in danger.

Father Brennan

She is pregnant.

Robert Thorn

You're mistaken. That's nonsense.

Father Brennan

He'll not allow the child to be born. He will kill it while it slumbers in the womb.

Robert Thorn

What in God's name are you talking about?

Father Brennan

Your son, Mr. Thorn. The Son of the Devil. He will kill the unborn child. Then he will kill your wife. And then, when he is certain to inherit all that is yours, then, Mr. Thorn... he will kill you.

Robert Thorn

That's enough.

Father Brennan

And with your wealth and power he will establish his counterfeit kingdom here on Earth, receiving his power directly from Satan!

Robert Thorn

You're insane.

Father Brennan

He must die Mr. Thorn!

Robert Thorn

You asked for five minutes... and you've got five minutes.

Father Brennan

Go to the city of Megiddo. See Bugenhagen before it's too late.
Robert Thorn. Now I've heard you. I want you to hear me. I never want to see you again.

Father Brennan

You'll see me in Hell, Mr. Thorn. There we will share out our sentence.

Father Brennan

You must accept Christ as your saviour. You must accept him now.

Robert Thorn

Forgive me, Father, but I understand that you have a matter of some urgent personal business?

Father Brennan

You must take communion. Drink the blood of Christ and eat his flesh. Only if he is within you can you defeat the son of the devil.

Robert Thorn

I see.

Father Brennan

He's killed once, he'll kill again. He'll kill until everything that's yours is his.
...

Father Brennan

I was at the hospital, Mr. Thorn, the night your son was born. I witnessed the birth. I beg you.

Robert Thorn
[into the intercom]

All right. Stand by. [to Father Brennan] What do you want?

Father Brennan

To save you, Mr. Thorn. So Christ will forgive me.

Robert Thorn

What do you know about my son?

Father Brennan

Everything.

Robert Thorn

And what is that?

Father Brennan

I saw its mother.

Robert Thorn

You saw my wife.

Father Brennan

I saw its mother.

Robert Thorn

You're referring to my wife!

Father Brennan

Its mother, Mr. Thorn.

Robert Thorn

If this is blackmail, then come out and say it! What are you trying to say?

Father Brennan

His mother was a ja- [security guards burst into the office]

Mrs. Baylock

I know this is a difficult time for you, so I'll not intrude on your grief. I'm here to take away some of your troubles and anxieties. We'll soon help your little boy to forget what's happened. I'm afraid, sir, that some of our young nannies, they get homesick, or they have boyfriend problems. I left all that behind a long time ago. Well, now, if you'll let me see your boy?

Katherine Thorn

Well, yes, of course. He's upstairs. I'll show you where it is.

Mrs. Baylock

Why don't you just leave us alone at first? Let us get acquainted in our own way.

Katherine Thorn

Well, he's shy with new people.

Mrs. Baylock

Oh, no. Not with me, he won't be.
...

Katherine Thorn

I like her.

Robert Thorn

She seems alright.

Katherine Thorn

Where'd you find her?

Robert Thorn

Where did I find her?

Katherine Thorn

Yeah.

Robert Thorn

I didn't find her. I assumed you found her.

Dr. Josef Mengele

He betrayed me, he betrayed you, he betrayed the Aryan race!

Ezra Lieberman

Did you kill Wheelock?

Dr. Josef Mengele
[sarcastically]

No, he's in the kitchen mixing us some cocktails!

Gertrud
[Mengele has just knocked Mundt to the floor]

Get a doctor!

Dr. Josef Mengele

I am a doctor, idiot.

Gertrud

Don't you come near him!

Dr. Josef Mengele

Shut up, you ugly bitch.

General Douglas MacArthur
[reflecting on stopping the flow of Chinese forces across the Yalu]

I requested permission to bomb the Yangtze bridges to keep the Chinese out of Korea. They said, "You might bomb the southern half of the bridges only." In my 50 years of military service, I have never learned how to bomb HALF a bridge!

President Sergio Osmena

You see, General, my people are going to laugh if I fell in deep water. I cannot swim!

Gen. Douglas MacArthur

That's not so bad, Mr. President. Everyone's about to see that I can't walk on water.

Soldier
[MacArthur arrives at front lines and starts to get out of jeep]

General, sir! Excuse me, sir, but we just killed a Jap sniper here not five minutes ago!

Gen. Douglas MacArthur

Fine, son! That's the best thing to do with 'em!

Anthony Keane

Does the name of Margaret Wells convey anything to you?

Andre Latour
[hesitating]

Yes, sir.

Anthony Keane

What does that name convey to you?

Anthony Keane
[Latour doesn't respond]

Well, I must try to help your memory. I put it to you that some years ago you were engaged to Margaret Wells of Three Rivers, Quebec; that on your wedding day she left you at the church door and went off with a saddler named Richard Truton.

Andre Latour

That is finished! That is in the past!

Judge Lord Thomas Horfield

Your question may be relevant, Mr Keane; its relevance escapes me.

Anthony Keane

M'lord, I submit that the witness has shown, in his evidence and also in his behavior, an almost pathological bias against, not only my client, but against all women.

Judge Lord Thomas Horfield

I may be stupid, but I fail to understand what this jilting has to do with the case; after seeing the witness and observing his appearance and bearing, I should be inclined to regard the young lady's conduct as pathological, not his.

Andre Latour

I know why you wanted to see me - she sent you.

Anthony Keane

She? Mrs. Paradine doesn't even know that I'm here. She had nothing to do with it.

Andre Latour

It seems I'm wrong then.

Anthony Keane

Why would she send me?

Andre Latour

She might have her reasons.

Anthony Keane

I don't know what they might be.

Andre Latour

But perhaps you don't know her as I do.

Anthony Keane

Mrs. Paradine is my client. I know her as her lawyer, that's sufficient for me.

Andre Latour

You may not think it, but you're on the wrong side, sir, and I tell you so.

Anthony Keane

What do you mean exactly by that? You'd better make yourself clear.

Andre Latour

Excuse me, sir. You have only known Mrs. Paradine since she is in prison. Is it not so?

Anthony Keane

Yes.

Andre Latour

Then how can you know her? If you did, I should not need to tell you that only Almighty God or the black Devil himself knows what's going on in that head of hers.

Anthony Keane

I won't hear anything more against her.

Andre Latour

I know what I'm talking about; what I say is true. I know her. And I will tell you one thing more, I will tell you about Mrs. Paradine - she's bad, bad to the bone! If ever there was an evil woman, she is one.

Anthony Keane

Would you mind getting out of here? I don't want any dirty, lying sneaks in my room. Get out!

Andre Latour

Very good, sir, as you wish. [leaving] If you would allow me, sir, I'm very sorry for you - and God help you.

Anthony Keane

Is anyone living at the hall now?

Driver

Only the caretaker, Mrs. Clarr - maybe Andre's back from London now. They say he knows more about the poor Colonel's death than he would tell. He's a **** one, all right.

Anthony Keane

In what way?

Driver

Oh, I don't know. He keeps himself to himself - perhaps that's because he's foreign. They never do seem quite the same, do they, sir?
