[The people of Lake-town are on the brink of starvation. Bard sees an army of Elves. Thranduil walks through the army over to Bard]
Bard: My Lord Thranduil, we did not look to see you here.
Thranduil: I heard you needed aid.
[The Elves bring in carts of food, wine, and supplies, to which the people of Lake-town happily take]
Bard You have saved us. I do not know how to thank you.
Thranduil: Your gratitude is misplaced. I did not come on your behalf. I came to reclaim something of mine. [at Erebor, Thorin picks up a necklace of white gems and recalls Thranduil's words to him] [voice over] There are gems in the Mountain that I too desire. White gems of pure starlight.
Thorin: [laughs] The White gems of Lasgalen. I know an Elf-lord who will pay a pretty price for these. [throws the necklace down into the white gems]
[Back in Dale Thranduil's army of Elves starts marching off towards the Mountain]
Bard: Wait! Please, wait! You would go to war over a handful of gems?
Thranduil: The heirlooms of my people are not lightly forsaken.
Bard: We are allies in this. My people also have claim upon the riches in that Mountain. Let me speak with Thorin.
Thranduil: You would try to reason with a Dwarf.
Bard: To avoid war? Yes.
Bard: My Lord Thranduil, we did not look to see you here.
Thranduil: I heard you needed aid.

[Bard rides over to Thranduil back to Dale after his meeting with Thorin]
Bard: He will give us nothing.
Thranduil: Such a pity. But still, you tried.
Bard: I do not understand. Why? Why would he risk war?
[The dwarves push heads of statues off the edge, dropping on the bridge, destroying it]
Thranduil: It is fruitless to reason with them. They understand only one thing. [draws his sword] We attack at dawn. Are you with us?
Bard: He will give us nothing.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013) as Thranduil

Such is the nature of evil. Out there in the vast ignorance of the world, it festers and spreads. A shadow that grows in the dark. A sleepless malice as black as the oncoming wall of night. So it ever was, so will it always be. In time all foul things come forth.

Stay here if you will, and rot. 100 years is a mere blink in the life of an Elf. I am patient, I can wait.

Other lands are not my concern. The fortunes of the world will rise and fall but here in this kingdom we will endure.

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) as Ronan
View Quote
Ronan: With all due respect, Thanos, your daughter made this mess, and yet you summon me.
The Other: I would lower my voice, Accuser.
Ronan: First, she lost a battle to some primitive.
The Other: Thanos put Gamora under your charge!
Ronan: Then she was apprehended by the Nova Corps.
The Other: You are the one here with nothing to show for it!
Ronan: Your sources say that she meant to betray us the whole time!
The Other: LOWER YOUR TONE!!! I MAY BE YOUR--
[Ronan swings his universal warhammer at the Other, killing him; he stares at Thanos, sitting on his floating throne, his back to the Accuser]
Ronan: I only ask that you take this matter seriously.
[Thanos' throne turns, revealing him]
Thanos: The only matter I do not take seriously, boy, is you. Your politics bore me. Your demeanor is that of a pouty child. And, apparently, you alienated my favorite daughter, Gamora. [Nebula scowls] I shall honor our agreement, Kree, if you bring me the Orb. But return to me again empty-handed, and I will bathe the star-ways in your blood.
Nebula: Thanks, Dad. Sounds fair.
The Other: I would lower my voice, Accuser.

[Quill, Gamora, Drax and Rocket all touch each other after Quill holds the Stone, and with all sharing its burden]
Ronan: [Horrified] You're mortal! How?!
Quill: You said it yourself, bitch. We're the Guardians of the Galaxy.
[Ronan attempts to attack them with his warhammer, but Quill opens his hand with the Stone, releasing its energy into Ronan and destroying him. Then Quill and Gamora seal the Stone in the container]

[After the Infinity Stone contained in the Orb destroys Tivan's museum]
Gamora: How could I think Tivan could contain whatever was within the Orb?
Rocket: [Altogether shocked and shaken] WHAT DO YOU STILL HAVE IT FOR?!
Quill: Well, what were we gonna do? Leave it in there?
Rocket: [Ignoring Quill] I can't believe you had that in your purse!
Quill: [Defensive] It's not a purse; it's a knapsack!
Gamora: We have to take this to the Nova Corps. There's a chance they can contain it.
Rocket: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! We're wanted by the Nova Corps!! Just give it to Ronan!
Quill: What, so he can destroy the galaxy?!
Rocket: What are you? Some saint, all of a sudden? What has the galaxy ever done for you? Why would you wanna save it?!
Quill: BECAUSE I'M ONE OF THE IDIOTS WHO LIVES IN IT!
Gamora: Peter, listen to me. We cannot allow the stone to fall into Ronan's hands. We have to go back to your ship and deliver it to Nova.
Quill: Right, right, okay. I think you're right. Or we could give it to somebody who's not going to arrest us, who's really nice for a whole lot of money. I think it's a really good balance between both of your points of view.
Gamora: You're despicable.
Quill: I...
Gamora: Dishonorable. FAITHLESS! [they see Ronan's ship approaching Knowhere] Oh, no.
Drax: [with his knives raised] At last! [laughs] I shall meet my foe, and destroy him!
Quill: You called Ronan?!
[Ronan's ship lands, Yondu and the Ravagers spots Quill, Rocket, Groot and Gamora.]
Yondu: Quill! Don't you move, boy! [they start running off] Don't you--! Get out of the way!
[Ronan steps off the ship to face Drax.]
Drax: Ronan the Accuser!
Ronan: You are the one who transmitted the message?
Drax: You killed my wife. You killed my daughter!
Gamora: How could I think Tivan could contain whatever was within the Orb?

[Discussing Michael's abortive proposal attempt to Delysia and the reasons behind his spell in prison]
Guinevere: Dare I ask what happened?
Michael: After an hour and a half of bobbing around on my own, I opened the champagne. One glass didn't seem enough, one thing led to another... then I had a bit of a brainwave as we floated past the Tower of London.
Guinevere: Oh, dear.
Michael: Decided the ring I had wasn't good enough for her. And when a man wants a diamond, what better place to get one than the Tower of London? Well, the rest is all a bit hazy...
