View Quote [Pretends to faint at the sight of the basilisk skin, then grabs Ron's wand] The adventure ends here, boys. But don't fret.

Say goodbye... to your memories. Obiliviate!

View Quote [After being pushed into Chamber of Secrets] It's really quite filthy down here.

View Quote We have to make the politicians understand: this isn’t a new weapon, it’s a new world. I’ll be out there, doing what I can, but you.. you’re an American Prometheus - the man who gave them the power to destroy themselves - and they’ll respect that. Then, the work really begins.

[guests laugh]

View Quote [CSA General Bloodbath McGrath has just seen a mechanical unit rampage through an encampment of his men]
Gen Bloodbath McGrath: YOU SAWED-OFF SADISTIC BASTARD, YOU BETRAYED US!
Dr. Arliss Loveless: My dear General, having donated half of my physical being to create a weapon capable of doing this, how did you and General Lee repay my loyalty? You surrendered at Appomattox! So who betrayed whom? [to Munitia] Munitia, make note the turret speed needs to be accelerated.
Munitia: [to signaller] Change gear ratio from 2.2 to 2.8.
Aide: [catching cries of troops] Scream...scream... "Help me." "Do not pull my arm!"
McGrath: I demand you give the order to stop this slaughter now!
Loveless: We'll need more loading drills. I hear too much time between screams.
McGrath: You give them the order to desist!
Loveless: [observing carnage] I understand your distress, but these men are not dying senselessly. It is for a far greater cause than you can possibly imagine.
McGrath: [points revolver] You go straight to hell, sir!
Loveless: After you, sir. [shoots McGrath with rear-firing gun from wheelchair. McGrath dies and Loveless looks back at him] Bloodbath McGrath indeed! [to foreign dignitaries] Well, I think that concludes this night's festivities. Ladies, feed him to the crabs. Gentlemen, since the beginning of written history, a nation's power has been measured by the size of its standing army. Tonight that chapter will be closed. The traditional army, to say nothing of the United States, will become extinct, laid low by a "cripple"- as the general so amusingly implied, and mechanology. But my friends, that tank is just a little hors d'oeuvre compared to what the country's greatest scientists are cooking up for me next. So, if I have piqued your interest, bring one thousand kilograms of your country's gold to Spider Canyon within the next four days. And now if you'll excuse me, I have a tank to catch.

Captain Winnant: Small vessels?
Commander Bolton: It's a list of civilian boats for requisition.
Captain Winnant: Civilian? We need destroyers!
Commander Bolton: Small boats can load from the beach.
Captain Winnant: Not in these conditions!
Commander Bolton: Well, I'd rather fight waves than dive-bombers.
Colonel Winnant: ...No, you're right. They won't get up in this. The Royal Engineers are building piers from lorries. At least that should help us when the tide comes back.
Commander Bolton: Well, we'll know in six hour's time.
Colonel Winnant: I thought the tides were every three?
Commander Bolton: Then it's good that you're Army and I'm Navy, isn't it?
