View Quote Cherie Blair: [impersonating the Queen] Thank you so much for coming, now **** off!

View Quote Tony Blair: Politically, I've really stuck my neck out here.

View Quote Richard Nixon: That's our tragedy, isn't it, Mr. Frost? No matter how high we get, they still look down at us.
David Frost: I really don't know what you're talking about.
Richard Nixon: Yes, you do. Now come on. No matter how many awards or column inches are written about you, or how high the elected office is for me, it's still not enough. We still feel like the little man, the loser they told us we were a hundred times. The smartasses in college, the high-ups, the well-born. The people whose respect we really wanted, really craved. And isn't that why we work so hard now, why we fight for every inch? Scrambling our way up in undignified fashion. If we're honest for a minute, if we reflect privately, just for a moment, if we allow ourselves a glimpse into that shadowy place we call our soul, isn't that why we're here, now? The two of us. Looking for a way back into the sun, into the limelight. Back onto the winner's podium, because we could feel it slipping away. We were headed, both of us, for the dirt. The place the snobs always told us that we'd end up. Face in the dust, humiliated all the more for having tried so pitifully hard. Well, to hell with that! We're not gonna let that happen, either of us. We're gonna show those bums! We're gonna make 'em choke on our continued success, our continued headlines, our continued awards and power and glory! We are gonna make those mother****ers CHOKE!... Am I right?
David Frost: You are... Except only one of us can win.
Richard Nixon: Yes. And I shall be your fiercest adversary. I shall come at you with everything I've got. Because the limelight can only shine on one of us. And for the other, it'll be the wilderness, with nothing and no one for company but those voices ringing in our head... You can probably tell I've had a drink. It's not too many, just one or two. But you believe me, when the time comes, I'm gonna be focused and ready for battle.

View Quote Richard Nixon: Look, when you're in office, you gotta do a lot of things sometimes that are not always, in the strictest sense of the law, legal, but you do them because they're in the greater interests of the nation!
David Frost: Right. Wait. Just so I understand correctly, are you really saying that in certain situations, the president can decide whether it's in the best interests of the nation and then do something illegal?
Richard Nixon: I'm saying, that when the President does it, that means it's not illegal!
David Frost: ...I'm sorry?
Richard Nixon: That's what I believe. But I realize... no one else shares that view.

View Quote Richard Nixon: You know those parties of yours, the ones I read about in the newspapers. Do you actually enjoy those?
David Frost: Of course.
Richard Nixon: You have no idea how fortunate that makes you, liking people. Being liked. Having that facility. That lightness, that charm. I don't have it, I never did. It kind of makes you wonder why I chose a life that hinged on being liked. [chuckles] I'm better suited to a life of thought, debate, intellectual discipline. Maybe we got it wrong. Maybe you should have been a politician and I the rigorous interviewer.
David Frost: [smiling] Maybe.

View Quote You never fight back. You always turn the other cheek. I think that you conceive yourself without sin. That is a sin!

View Quote Town priest: [To Balian working on sharpening swords in the town blacksmith forge] The village does not want you. When the old lord is dead, they will drive you out. When the bishop is dead, it is certain.
Balian: And you take my property.
Town priest: The Church.
Balian: You.
Town priest: They would have taken you to Jerusalem... away from... all this. I arranged it. I swear to you... you will have no peace so long as you stay here. No man ever needed a new world more. Imagine your sin and pain erased. All. [Balian takes out a sword and starts malleablizing it] If you take the Crusade... you may relieve your wife's position in hell. I put it delicately. She was a suicide. She is in hell. Though what she does there without a head... [Balian notices priest's cross necklace, holds it up and impales him with sword throwing him onto fire, Balian takes the necklace with priest leaping out igniting the forge]

View Quote Gravedigger: She's denied the cross for suicide... and buried at the center of a crossroads. Huh. Show me the logic. Father?
Town priest: What?
Gravedigger: The devil is a practical man. If she were a witch, she was a poor return on his investment.
Town priest: What would you know of logic?
Graveigger: Oh, I have ears, Father. Although one is notched [tugs ear lobe] because I love justice.
Town priest: You love thieving. Shut up. You dig.
Gravedigger: [A parade of crusading knights appear] Crusaders. Clear the road, if you will.
English Sergeant: [Throws money bag] This is for the burial from my lord... and a Mass... for her soul.
Town priest: [Starts walking and turns] Wait. Have you forgotten?
Gravedigger: She was your brother's wife.
Town priest: She was a suicide. Cut off her head. And return the ax.
Gravedigger: You know this place, my lord?
Godfrey of Ibelin: Know it? I know all of it. Your brother? You have spoken to him?
Gravedigger: On what matter, my lord? He is still arrested.
Godfrey of Ibelin: Your brother is as responsible for his wife's sin as I am.
Graveigger: Opinions differ, my lord. The burial was... Yes.
Godfrey of Ibelin: And you did not mutilate the person?
Graveigger: No.
Godfrey of Ibelin: Good. The law can go too far. It can too far. I ask myself...

View Quote We were slaves once. The daylight guardians of the Vampires. I was born into servitude. Yet I harbored them no ill will. Even took a Vampire for my bride. It was forbidden, our union. Viktor feared a blending of the species. Feared it so much he killed her. His own daughter... Burnt alive for loving me. This is his war - Viktor's, and he's spent the last 600 years exterminating my species.

View Quote You may have killed me, cousin, but my will is done, regardless!

View Quote You're acting like a pack of rabid DOGS! And that, gentlemen, simply will not do. Not if you expect to defeat the Vampires on their own ground. Not if you expect to survive at all. Pierce! Taylor! Put some clothes on, will you?

View Quote I'm at war with the French, as well as the Scottish. Have I forgotten anyone? The Spaniards, am I at war with them?

View Quote Lord Oliver: Who speaks for you?
Marek: I do, my lord.
Lord Oliver: You speak strangely.
Marek: Yes. We are Scottish, my lord.
Lord Oliver: Scottish? (in Scottish accent) You've come to kill us all in our beds, eh? (goes back to original English accent) First the old man and now this group. Why do the Scottish find this village so pleasing?
