View Quote Legolas: Come, Gimli!
Gimli: [Panting heavily] I'm wasted on cross-country! We dwarves are natural sprinters! Very dangerous over short distances!

View Quote Gimli: Well, lad, whatever luck you live by, let's hope it lasts the night.
Legolas: Your friends are with you, Aragorn.
Gimli: Let's hope they last the night.

View Quote Gimli: [putting on a mail coat too long for him] If I had time I'd get this adjusted...

View Quote Pippin: It's talking to us, Merry. The tree is talking!
Treebeard: Tree? I am no tree! I am an Ent.
Merry: [fascinated] A tree-herder. A shepherd of the forest!
Pippin: Don't talk to it, Merry. Don't encourage it!
Treebeard: Treebeard, some call me.
Pippin: And... whose side are you on?
Treebeard: Side? I am on nobody's side, because nobody is on my side, little Orc. No one cares for the woods anymore.
Merry: We're not Orcs. We're Hobbits!
Treebeard: "Hobbits"? Never heard of a Hobbit before. [getting angry] Sounds like Orc mischief to me! They come with fire! They come with axes! Gnawing, biting, breaking, hacking, burning!! Destroyers and usurpers, CURSE THEM!!
Merry: You don't understand! We're Hobbits! Halflings! Shire-folk!
Treebeard: Maybe you are not... [calming] and maybe you are. The White Wizard will know.

View Quote [Seeing the torn-down forest around Isengard]
Treebeard: Many of these trees were my friends. Creatures I had known from nut and acorn.
Pippin: I'm sorry, Treebeard.
Treebeard: They had voices of their own... Saruman... A wizard should know better!
[He gives a loud yell which echoes across the landscape]
Treebeard: There is no curse in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of men for this treachery!
[More Ents emerge from the woods, following Treebeard]
Pippin: Look, the trees! They're moving!
Merry: Where are they going?
Treebeard: They have business with the Orcs. My business is with Isengard tonight, with rock and stone!
[More Ents emerge from the woods, joining Treebeard]
Treebeard: Come, my friends. The Ents are going to war. It is likely that we go to our doom. The last march of the Ents.

View Quote There's plenty for the both of us. May the best dwarf win.

Legolas: What about side-by-side with a friend?
Gimli: Aye, I could do that.

View Quote King of the Dead: Release us!
Gimli: Bad idea! Very handy in a tight spot, these lads, despite the fact they're dead.
King of the Dead: You gave us your word!
Aragorn: I hold your oaths fulfilled. Go. Be at peace.

View Quote Oh yes? Just a simple matter of finding our way through Emyn Muil, an impassable labyrinth of razor-sharp rocks? And after that, it gets even better! A festering stinking marshland, as far as the eye can see!

View Quote And they call it a mine! A MINE!

View Quote Nobody tosses a dwarf.

View Quote The spotlight will never be on fellows like you and me, and it's foolish to think otherwise, Danny.

View Quote Danny: Sawyer?
Sawyer: We're all behind you, Danny. 100%. Don't let them go, Tillie!
Tillie: [Tillie is holding T.W., Cranston, and Frances in her arms] I got them!
Cranston: Let go! Have you lost your mind?
Frances: Release me you mad hippo!
Danny: Wait.
Tillie: One big happy family!
Danny: Just a minute. Please.
T.W.: [Looking at his fortunes] You will meet with disaster!
Danny: Would you just listen to me?
Cranston: I'll chew your ears off!
Danny: Cranston!
T.W.: The end is near! The fat lady sung!
Danny: Look, if you're willing to accept what they can think of you, then you can go! [everyone gasps] I almost did.
Cranston: Well, you should have! Life here for animals is the pits, always playing the scapegoat!
Woolie: Quickly forgotten!
Frances: Working for scale! [...See what the movie did there?]
Danny: Then why are you still here?
Crantson: Why?! [everyone pauses]
Danny: Because you can't forget the feeling, can you? The feeling you have when... [Refers to Cranson and Frances] when you two dance together. [Camera switches to Woolie] When you play. [Danny motions to Sawyer] When you sing. They cursed you, humiliated you, and even slam the door in your face. But they still haven't made you forget. Have they?
T.W.: [searches through his fortune cookie papers] They can smash your cookie, but... but you'll always have your fortune. [everyone grins] Huh.
Danny: Come on. Let's go show 'em what we can do.
Tillie: Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!

View Quote Danny: Is that Sawyer?
Woolie: Poor Sawyer. I thought she'd be the one to make it. Such a dancer, with the voice of an angel.
Danny: I never would have guessed.
Woolie: That's what this town does to you, my boy. It wears you down.
Danny: But I thought Hollywood was always looking for new talent.
Woolie: Ah, ah, ah! Talented people, not animals. [sighs] You see, the spotlight will never be on fellows like you and me. And it's foolish to think otherwise, Danny. Danny?
Danny: Mmm. Yeah. [chuckles] Foolish. Unless... [plunks a few piano keys] ...we can remind them.
Woolie: Hmmm. Uh, of what?
Danny: Why they came here in the first place.
Woolie: Hmm.

View Quote I miss the desert. I miss the sea. And I miss waking up every morning, wondering what wonderful adventure the new day will bring to us.

View Quote Give 'em hell, Indiana Jones!

View Quote ...explosives, and... Indy was running, and Marion was running... suddenly, the plane exploded!

View Quote Mowgli: I'm sorry, sir. It's just...
Ranjan's Father: No, Mowgli. I'm sorry. I should've understood that the jungle is a part of who you are. [Smiles at Mowgli, who promptly smiles back and hugs him] I'm just glad you're safe.

View Quote Ranjan's Father: Shanti, what is it? [To the children] Children, come inside this instant, all of you! [to Mowgli] Mowgli? That includes you! [Mowgli slowly walks to him] I am very disappointed in you. You put everyone in danger. You know that you're not allowed to cross the river, and yet you deliberately disobeyed me!
Mowgli: But, but, I...
Ranjan's Father: No, Mowgli. The jungle is a dangerous place. I should know. [shows scars on his arm] You are confined to your room without dinner. That should gave you plenty of time to think about what you've done.

View Quote [A shocked Bagheera spies on the villagers]
Ranjan's Father: Mowgli! [sighs] Perhaps I was too harsh on the boy.
Ranjan's Mother: Don't worry. We'll find them. [they both smile]
Ranjan's Father: Mowgli!
Ranjan's Mother: Ranjan!
Villager: Shanti!
Bagheera: [shock turns to anger] Baloo...!

View Quote [General Pushkin and his men raid Whitaker's house and also capture General Koskov]

View Quote [General Pushkin visits arms dealer Brad Whitaker]
Brad Whitaker: [Referring to his life-size statues of famous military commanders] How do you like my personal pantheon of great commanders?
Leonid Pushkin: Butchers.
Whitaker: Surgeons. They cut away society's dead flesh.

View Quote [Bond confronts General Pushkin over Koskov's claims about him reactivating the Smiert Spionam directive]
Leonid Pushkin: You are professional. You do not kill without reason.
James Bond: Two of our men are dead. Koskov named you. Now why should I disobey my orders?
Pushkin: I am in the dark as much as you are. It is a question of trust. Who do you believe? Koskov, or me?
Bond: If I trusted Koskov we wouldn't be talking. As long as you're alive, we'll never know what he's up to.
Pushkin: Then I must die.
