View Quote What is a lobby boy? A lobby boy is completely invisible, yet always in sight. A lobby boy remembers what people hate. A lobby boy anticipates the client's needs before the needs are needed. A lobby boy is, above all, discreet to a fault. Our guests know that their deepest secrets, some of which are frankly rather unseemly, will go with us to our graves. So keep your mouth shut, Zero.

View Quote If I die first, and I almost certainly will, you will be my sole heir. There's not much in the kitty, except a set of ivory-backed hairbrushes and my library of romantic poetry, but when the time comes, these will be yours. Along with whatever we haven't already spent on whores and whiskey.

View Quote You see, there are still faint glimmers of civilization left in this barbaric slaughterhouse that was once known as humanity. Indeed that's what we provide in our own modest, humble, insignificant... oh, **** it.

That ought to be fun.

View Quote [to all of Hogwarts] I know that many of you will want to fight. Some of you may even think that to fight is wise. But this is folly. Give me Harry Potter.

View Quote (to Dumbledore) You've lost, old man!

View Quote You're a fool, Harry Potter. And you will lose... everything.

View Quote Pick up your wand, Potter! You've been taught how to duel, I presume. First, we bow to each other. Come now, Harry. The niceties must be observed. Dumbledore wouldn't want you to forget your manners, would he? I said, bow!

View Quote I'm going to kill you, Harry Potter. I'm going to destroy you. After tonight, no one will ever again question my powers. After tonight, if they speak of your name, they'll speak only of how you begged for death, and I, being a merciful lord... obliged.

View Quote O'Malley: Well, Eminence, I'd say this is a pretty fair vision of hell.
Lawrence: Well, don't be blasphemous, Ray. Hell arrives tomorrow when we bring in the Cardinals.

View Quote Over the course of many years in the service of our mother the Church, let me tell you — there is one sin which I have come to fear above all others: Certainty. Certainty is the great enemy of unity. Certainty is the deadly enemy of tolerance. Even Christ was not certain at the end: "" he cried out, in his agony, at the ninth hour on the Cross. Our faith is a living thing precisely because it walks hand-in-hand with doubt. If there was only certainty and no doubt, there would be no mystery. And therefore no need for faith. Let us pray that God will grant us a Pope who doubts. And let him grant us a Pope who sins and asks for forgiveness and who carries on.

View Quote As inspiring as I find your bloodlust, Bellatrix, I must be the one to kill Harry Potter.

View Quote [Voldemort has Pius under the Imperius Curse]

View Quote To those of you who do not know. We are joined tonight by Ms. Charity Burbage, who until recently taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Her specialty was Muggle Studies. It is Ms. Burbage's belief that Muggles are not so different from us. She would, given her way, have us mate with them. To her, the mixture of magical and Muggle blood is not an abomination, but something to be encouraged.

View Quote Tim Donohue: Leave this Justin. Go home.
Justin Quayle: I can't go home. Tessa was my home.

View Quote Tim Donohue: [after a car chase through the desert] Who did you think I was?
Justin Quayle: **** you, Donohue! This is bandit country.

View Quote Policeman: For a diplomat you're not a very good liar.
Justin Quayle: I haven't risen very high.

View Quote Hades: You were specks of dust beneath our fingernails. Your very breath is a gift from Olympus. You have insulted powers beyond your comprehension.
Queen Cassiopeia: Who are you?
Hades: I am Hades. Kneel.
Io: Not now, Perseus. You will have your chance.
Hades: What do you know of beauty? What is more beautiful than death? Gaze upon me, mortal queen.
[Cassiopeia's body ages and withers]
Andromeda: Mother!
Draco: Princess!
Hades: In ten days, when the sun is eclipsed, I will unleash the Kraken. Argos will be swept from the earth, and all of you with it. Unless you sacrifice the princess you so foolishly compare to the gods. Only her blood will sate the Kraken and Zeus, who you have so offended. Choose your penance, Argos. Destruction or sacrifice. This is the will of Zeus. [turns and looks at Perseus] The will of your father.

View Quote Hades: Argos is fallen. Do you feel stronger, brother? You thought the Kraken would bring you their prayers, but the Kraken is my child. It feeds only me.
Zeus: I command Olympus! Remember who you serve!
Hades: I serve myself! I have, since you cheated me. You sent me to the Underworld to be hated while you basked in their love.
Zeus: We need the love of humans.
Hades: No, you need it. I survive on their fear. Your reign is over, Brother Zeus. You'll watch while my blessed avenger devours their hopes and then finally, you'll know my pain.
Zeus: There is still a demigod in Argos, brother. Perseus...

View Quote Hermes: Zeus, you must bring an end to this. They've attacked our temples!
Poseidon: Now they dare to desecrate Zeus' image!
Demeter: We could reach out to them!
Apollo: Accommodation could be made! A truce!
Zeus: No! I created them. And they reward my love with defiance?! There will be no truce!
Hades: Finally, some rage from you. How long has it been? How long, brother, since you've seen my face?
Zeus: Hades.
Hades: Endless years I've watched from the Underworld and saw your wrath tempered with love. You created them for one reason, so their prayers would fuel our immortality. But you love them too well, they've grown strong. And now, I am forced to rise because we are all threatened.
Zeus: What do you want, brother?
Hades: Let me loose upon them. They will pray again and you will bathe in their awe and fear. And we will grow strong again.
Apollo: He belongs in the Underworld, not here!
Hades: You do not tell me where I belong. You said it is love that feeds us, but you depend on their love. I've only learned to live on their fear. Their pain.
Poseidon: Zeus? Our brother speaks the truth. Give it to him.
Zeus: Go, do what you will.
Apollo: Father, we need the mortals!
Zeus: No, Apollo. Hades is right. Their insolence are surprised. Like children, they need to be reminded of the order of things! Set an example, brother. Turn them on each other, and back into our arms.

View Quote Sir, if you don't mind my saying, I'm a little concerned. I've seen you go through similar phases in 2016, and 2012, and 2008, and 2005, and 1997, and 1995, and 1992, and 1989... and that weird one in 1966.

View Quote Alfred: Were you looking at the old family pictures again?
Batman: At the what? The old family... Oh, yes! I see what you mean. Look at that! The old gang. Yeah. No, I wasn't.
Alfred: I see. Sir, if you don't mind my saying, I'm a little concerned. I've seen you go through similar phases in 2016 and 2012 and 2008 and 2005 and 1997 and 1995 and 1992 and 1989 and that weird one in 1966. Do you want to talk about how you're feeling right now?
Batman: I don't talk about feelings, Alfred. I don't have any, I've never seen one. I'm a night-stalking, crime-fighting vigilante, and a heavy metal rapping machine. I don't feel anything emotionally, except for rage. 24/7, 365, at a million percent. And if you think that there's something behind that, then you're crazy. Good night, Alfred.
Alfred: Sir, it's morning. [clicks the remote, opening the curtains; the sunlight shines through the windows. Batman cringes]
Batman: Hiss! Sun!

View Quote Alfred: Master Bruce, you live on an island figuratively and literally.
Batman: Yeah, I love it.
Alfred: You can't spend the rest of your life alone dressed in black, listening to angry music, and staying up all night.
Batman: Yes I can. 'Cause I'm Batman.
Alfred: But don't you think it's time you finally faced your biggest fear?
Batman: Snakes?
Alfred: No.
Batman: Clowns?
Alfred: No.
Batman: Snake-clowns?
Alfred: Bruce, listen. Your greatest fear is being a part of a family again.
[Batman looks at the family pictures]
Batman: Nope, now it's Snake-clowns, because you put that idea in my head.
Alfred: Sir-
Batman: Time for push-ups! One! Two! I'm going to a thousand.
Alfred: I'm afraid that's not possible, sir.
Batman: It is possible. I'm already at twenty.
Alfred: You're scheduled to go to Jim Gordon's retirement party.
Batman: What? No! I don't wanna do that!
Alfred: You're going to have a good time.
Batman: No, no, no, no!
Alfred: You might meet some new people.
Batman: No, no, no, no!
Alfred: Even make some new friends.
Batman: No, no, no, no! No, no, no, no! [to the tune of the Adam West theme song] No-no, no-no, no-no, no-no! [beatboxes] No!!
Alfred: And before you go, we could do your favourite thing.
Batman: [gasps] Tuxedo dress-up party!

View Quote Gareth Mallory: [now promoted to become the new head of MI6 as the new M] So, 007… [gives Bond his next assignment] Lots to be done. Are you ready to get back to work?
James Bond: With pleasure, M. With pleasure.

View Quote [Bond enters the interrogation room to take his psychological test]
Doctor Hall: I'd like to start with some simple word associations. Just tell me the first word that pops into your head. For example, I say, "Day" and you might say…
James Bond: Wasted.
Doctor Hall: All right. Gun?
James Bond: Shot.
Doctor Hall: Agent.
James Bond: Provocateur.
Doctor Hall: Woman?
James Bond: Provocatrix.
Doctor Hall: Heart?
James Bond: Target.
Doctor Hall: Bird?
James Bond: Sky.
Doctor Hall: M.
James Bond: Bitch.
[quick cut to M in the observation room, not amused]
Doctor Hall: Sunlight?
James Bond: Swim.
Doctor Hall: Moonlight?
James Bond: Dance.
Doctor Hall: Murder.
James Bond: Employment.
Doctor Hall: Country.

James Bond: Done. [walks out]
[M is not impressed.]
Gareth Mallory: [to M; sarcastically] This is going well.

View Quote [at Q Branch, Q and Tanner try to create a false trail to lure Silva]
Q: It's a fine line. Make the breadcrumb too small, and he might miss it. Too big, and Silva will smell a rat.
Bill Tanner: Yes, but you'd think even Silva will be able to spot that.
Q: He's the only one who could.
[Tanner turns to see Mallory, his arm in a sling]
Tanner: Sir?
Q: Oh...
Gareth Mallory: What are you doing?
Q: We're just... monitoring.
Mallory: Creating a false tracking signal for Silva to follow.
Tanner: Well, sir, um...
Q: Well, no...
Mallory: Excellent thinking. Get him isolated. Send him on the A9, it's a direct route. You can monitor his progress more accurately and confirm it with the traffic cameras.
Tanner: But, uh... what if the PM finds out?
Mallory: Then we're all buggered. Carry on.

View Quote Max Denbigh: [on the phone to his contact] Go back and find M, NOW! We need them both. [hangs up and attempts to log in to MI6, only to find that his access has been denied and the Nine Eyes program's shutdown has been initiated]
M: Not a good feeling being watched, is it?
Max Denbigh: Don't tell me you're responsible for this.
M: No, but my quartermaster is. And he's extremely talented.
Max Denbigh: Oh, bravo. But in case you hadn't realized it, you two are out of a job. so you're trespassing.
M: I'm afraid you've got the wrong end of the stick, Max. We're going to stop this system going online, and then I'm going to bring you in.
Max Denbigh: On what grounds, exactly?
M: Poor taste in friends.
Max Denbigh: Take a look at the world. Chaos. Because people like you, paper-pushers and politicians, are too spineless to do what needs to be done. So I made an alliance to put the power where it should be, and now you want to throw it away for the sake of democracy, whatever the hell that is. How predictably moronic. But then, isn't that what M stands for? "Moron"?
[C aims a pistol at M and pulls the trigger; nothing happens]
M: And now we know what C stands for. [reveals that he has the bullets that C thought were in his gun] "Careless".

View Quote [Moneypenny meets Bond at his flat]
Eve Moneypenny: So what's going on, James? There's not one person at MI6 who isn't talking about it.
James Bond: Talking about... what, exactly?
Eve Moneypenny: That what you did in Mexico was a step too far. That you're finished.
James Bond: And what do you think?
Eve Moneypenny: I think you're just getting started.
James Bond: I don't know what you mean.
Eve Moneypenny: Fine. I think you've got a secret. And it's something you won't tell anyone because you don't trust anyone. [Bond switches on the TV, revealing a video message from the now-deceased previous M]
M: [on TV] 007, if anything happens to me for some reason, I need you to do something. Find a man called Marco Sciarra. Kill him... and don't miss the funeral.
Eve Moneypenny: Jesus! Where did you get it?
James Bond: From my mailbox, just after she died.
Eve Moneypenny: She was never short of surprises.
James Bond: She wasn't gonna let death get in the way of her job.

View Quote Max Denbigh: You can't really tell me that one man in the field can compete with all of this, running around out there with his license to kill.
M: Have you ever had to kill a man, Max? Have you? To pull that trigger, you have to be sure. Yes, you investigate, analyze, assess, target. And then you have to look him in the eye. And you make the call. And all the drones, bugs, cameras, transcripts, all the surveillance in the world can't tell you what to do next. A license to kill is also a license not to kill.

View Quote Compare with the real statement made by Charles Van Doren.

View Quote Dick Goodwin: Don't treat me like I'm a member of your goddamn fan club. Are you telling me everybody got the answers but you?
Charles Van Doren: You're so persistent, Dick. You know, I really envy you that.
Dick Goodwin: Was it just the money, Charlie?
Charles Van Doren: You'll forgive me, but anyone who thinks money is ever just money couldn't have much of it.
Dick Goodwin: Charlie, you want to insult me, fine; but you can't envy me at the same time.
Charles Van Doren: Jesus, Dick, if someone offered you all this money to be on some rigged quiz show, instant fame, the works, would you do it?
Dick Goodwin: No. 'Course not.
Charles Van Doren: No? Throw the whole thing in, the cover of Time, Dave Garroway, $50,000 a year to read poetry on television — would you do it?
Dick Goodwin: No.
Charles Van Doren: And I would?

View Quote Have you ever jacked in? Have you ever wire tripped? No? [smirk] A virgin brain. Well, we're gonna start you off right. This isn't like "TV only better", this is life. Yeah, this is a piece of somebody's life. Pure and uncut, straight from the cerebral cortex. You're there! You're doing it, seeing it, hearing-hearing it. You're feeling it. It's about the stuff you can't have, right? Like running into a liquor store with a .357 magnum in your hand, feeling the adrenaline pumping through your veins. I can make it happen. I can get you anything you want. Ya just have to talk to me. Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me. I am your priest. I am your shrink. I am your main connection to the switchboard of souls. I'm the magic man. The Santa Claus of the subconscious. You say it. You even think it. You can have it! Are we beginning to see the possibilities here? You know you want it. -- (Teaser version of Lenny's sales pitch)

View Quote "I am afraid, brother. Is that what you want me to say? I'm a god, and I'm afraid. When your precious humans die, at least their souls go to another place. When a god dies, it isn't death—it's just absence. It's nothing. It's Oblivion..." [whispers to self] "...it's Oblivion."
