[to Lara] And you... you believe your son is safe? I will find him. I will reclaim what you have taken from us! I will find him. I will find him, Lara. I WILL FIND HIM!

Robert Jackson: May I please your honors... The privilege of opening the first trial in history for crimes against the peace of the world imposes a grave responsibility. The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant, and so devastating that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because we cannot survive their being repeated. In the prisoner's dock sit 20 odd broken men. We will show them to be living symbols of racial hatreds, of terrorism and violence, and of the arrogance and cruelty of power. Civilization can afford no compromise by dealing ambiguously or indecisively with the men in whom these forces now precariously survive. Wars are no longer local. All modern wars become world wars, eventually. And none of the big nations can stay out. But the ultimate step in avoiding periodic wars in a system of international lawlessness is to make statesmen responsible for the law. And let me make clear that while this law is first applied against German aggressors, it must condemn aggression by any other nation including those who sit here now, in judgment. We are able to do away with domestic tyranny and violence and aggression by those in power against the rights of their own people only when we make all men answerable to the law.

Fireman: The search has been called off. They say the Marriott's gonna go too, and until it's more stable, we're out. This whole thing is crap, man. Our guys are in there. They're dying in there.

Knives Out (2019) as Walt Thrombey
View Quote
I think it means that our father finally came to his senses and cut this worthless little brat out of his will. (to Ransom) So I guess you're gonna have to sell the Beamer and give your notice at the country club and kick whatever fashion drug you're on, because if you think that after all the bridges you've burned, after all the shit you've said and after everything that you've put this family through for the past ten years that any of us are going to support you, that any of us are going to give you - like DAD liked to say - "a single red DIME", you're NUTS!

Ransom Drysdale: That's some heavy-duty conjecture.
Walt Thrombey: Funny, Ransom, you skipped the funeral, but you're early for the will reading.
Ransom Drysdale: Up your ass.
Meg Thrombey: Oh, very nice!
Ransom Drysdale: Matter of fact, eat shit. How's that? [pointing to each family member who is shouting at him] Eat shit, eat shit, eat shit... definitely eat shit... We gotta do this more often.
