Sean Bean movie quotes

View Quote If they ever tell my story, let them say that I walked with giants. Men rise and fall like the winter wheat, but these names will never die. Let them say I lived in the time of Hector, tamer of horses. Let them say I lived in the time of Achilles.

View Quote Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity. And so we ask ourselves: will our actions echo across the centuries? Will strangers hear our names long after we are gone, and wonder who we were, how bravely we fought, how fiercely we loved?

View Quote [to Achilles] Let Achilles fight for honor. Let Agamemnon fight for power and let the gods decide which man to glorify. Forget about Agamemnon, fight for me. My wife will feel much better knowing you're by my side. I will feel much better.

View Quote He's got the bloody map.

View Quote [convincing Abigail to give the document to him] Why don't you just pass me that document? Then we can all go home.

View Quote Leave them! Let them go. We got it.

View Quote One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its black gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep; the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust. The very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly!

View Quote (last words) I would have followed you, my captain, my king....

View Quote In a dream, I saw the Eastern sky grow dark. But in the West a pale light lingered. A voice was crying, "Our doom is near at hand! Isildur's Bane is found!" Isildur's Bane…

View Quote But I being poor, have only my dreams, I have spread my dreams under your feet, tread softly because you tread on my dreams. (reading "He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven" - W.B. Yeats)

View Quote It's just a vestigial word for a feeling you've never felt. - After Cleric Preston claims to be sorry

View Quote I assume you dream Preston?

View Quote [to Ryan] Bloody proud of yourself, aren't you? You stuck your nose in where it didn't belong. And now you've killed my baby brother.

View Quote [about Sally Ryan, who they are there to kill]
Miller's Driver: Kind of cute, isn't she?
Sean Miller: Is she?

View Quote Sean Miller: I saw his wife and daughter die, but she and Neddy blew it. Ryan's still alive.
Kevin O'Donnell: They're not dead, Sean.
Sean Miller: What?
Kevin O'Donnell: They survived it. I can't say it any plainer than that. It doesn't matter. Your trip served its purpose.
Sean Miller: It does matter!

View Quote [Bond is holding Trevelyan by his foot on top of the satellite antenna.]
Trevelyan: For England, James?
Bond: No. For me. [lets Trevelyan fall to his death]

View Quote [Bond has just discovered that "Janus" is none other than Trevelyan]
Bond: Alec?
Trevelyan: Back from the dead. No longer just an anonymous star on the Memorial Wall at MI6. What's the matter, James? No glib remark? No pithy comeback?
Bond: [stunned] Why?
Trevelyan: Hilarious question. Particularly from you. Did you ever ask why? Why we toppled all those dictators, undermined all those regimes, only to come home - "Well done, good job, but sorry, old boy, everything you risked your life and limb for has changed."
Bond: It was the job we were chosen for.
Trevelyan: [scoffs] Of course you would say that. James Bond, Her Majesty's loyal terrier, defender of the so-called faith. [Bond draws his gun] Oh, please, James, put it away. It's insulting to think I haven't anticipated your every move.
Bond: [slowly lowers weapon] Yes. I trusted you, Alec.
Trevelyan: [scoffs] Trust. What a quaint idea.
Bond: How did the MI6 screening miss that your parents were Lienz Cossacks?
Trevelyan: Once again, your faith is misplaced. They knew. We're both orphans, James. But where your parents had the luxury of dying in a climbing accident, mine survived the British betrayal and Stalin's execution squads. My father couldn't let himself or my mother live with the shame of it. MI6 figured I was too young to remember. And in one of life's little ironies, the son went to work for the government whose betrayal caused the father to kill himself and his wife.
Bond: Hence "Janus", the two-faced Roman god come to life.
Trevelyan: [gestures to his scars] It wasn't God who gave me this face. It was you, setting the timers for three minutes instead of six.
Bond: Am I supposed to feel sorry for you?
Trevelyan: No. You're supposed to die for me. By the way, I did think of asking you to join my little scheme, but somehow I knew that 007's loyalty was always to the mission, never to his friend. Closing time, James. Last call. [Bond is shot with a tranquilizer dart as Alec walks toward a fallen Bond] ...For England, James.

View Quote [Trevelyan and Xenia's private armored train has crashed. Bond assaults the train and seeks to kill Trevelyan, but is hesitant when Ourumov brings Natalya into the cabin.]
Trevelyan: So, back where we started, James. Your friend, or the mission? Drop the gun, I'll let her live.
Bond: [to Ourumov without looking away at Trevelyan] Ourumov, what does this Cossack promise you? [Ourumov's face changes] You knew, didn't you? He's a Lienz Cossack!
Trevelyan: It's in the past.
Bond: He'll betray you! [murmurs] Just like everyone else.
Ourumov: Is this true?
Trevelyan: [impatiently] What's true is that in 48 hours, you and I will have more money than God. And Mr. Bond here will have a small memorial service, with only Moneypenny and a few tearful restaurateurs in attendance.

View Quote Spence: You worried about saving your own skin?
Sam: Yeah, I am. It covers my body.

View Quote Spence: You ever kill anybody?
Sam: Hurt somebody's feelings once.

View Quote [the arms dealers want to complete the deal inside a tunnel]
Sam: You aren't going in there?
Spence: Yeah, I'm going in there. And so are you.
Sam: Why am I going in there?
Spence: Why? To protect me.
Sam: There is no protection there. If it's a come-on, we're fish in a barrel. What are you doing? Why do they want you in there? What are you, crazy?
Spence: You know, you think too hard.
Sam: Nobody ever told me that before. But I wouldn't go in there.

View Quote Teddy Sanders: I just had to explain to the President of the United States what a bureaucratic felcher is.
Mitch Henderson: I made the mistake of typing it into Google. Don't.

View Quote Annie Montrose: What the hell is "Project Elrond?"
Vincent Kapoor: I had to make something up.
Annie Montrose: But "Elrond?"
Mitch Henderson: Because it's a secret meeting.
Annie Montrose: How do you know that; why does Elrond mean secret meeting?
Bruce Ng: The Council of Elrond. It's the... it's... it's... from The Lord of the Rings. It's the meeting where they decide to destroy the One Ring.
Teddy Sanders: If we are going to call something Project Elrond, I would like my code name to be Glorfindel.
Annie Montrose: Okay, I hate every one of you.

View Quote Annie Montrose: But if something goes wrong?
Vincent Kapoor: Then we lose the crew.
Bruce Ng: So what, we either have a high chance of killing one person, or a low chance of killing six people. How do we make that decision?
Vincent Kapoor: We don't. [pointing to Teddy] He does.
Mitch Henderson: Yeah, bullshit. It should be Commander Lewis' call.
Teddy Sanders: We still have a chance to bring five astronauts home safe and sound. I'm not risking their lives.
Mitch Henderson: Let them make that decision.
Teddy Sanders: Mitch, we are going with option one.
Mitch Henderson: You goddamn coward.

View Quote I'm troubled. What seemed to be a very simple task has taken the most perplexing of turns. So I'm gonna speak slowly and clearly, so that my message is not lost, ignored or misinterpreted. $1 million to the man who kills Carl Lucas. This offer expires in 48 hours. If and when that happens, I will consider you all enemies, and I will bring war on your own damn heads. Understand?

View Quote Markus Kane: [referring to Carl Lucas] How the hell is he still alive?!
Joey: Boss, we've been assured it's happening.
Markus: It's been happening for weeks now! How much longer do you think he's gonna stay silent?!
Joey: He's a tough guy, and he's been loyal so far...
Markus: I want him dead!!
Joey: We have someone on the inside, a total psycho. It won't take long now, I promise you that!
Markus: Joey. Joey. The box, with its implications of rigidity and squareness, symbolizes unimaginative thinking and painful frustrations. [shoots Joey dead with a gun] Sometimes, we just have to step back and see if the solutions to our problem lie outside the box. [to his henchman] Call a meeting.
Markus's henchman: But with who?
Markus: Everyone!!

View Quote [Katrina Banks has just been brought to Markus Kane, who is about to offer her the deal of lifetime]
Markus: Beautiful view of freedom from here, Katrina.
Katrina: Okay. But who are you?
Markus: You're much more attractive in person.
Katrina: I'm flattered. What do you want?
Markus: Carl Lucas. I want him dead. And in return, I offer you freedom. A chance of life outside these walls for one simple task. You've got 48 hours. Either you kill him or I kill you. Let me make these walls disappear. Let me make you part of the view from outside, Katrina. Freedom. 48 hours. Tick-tock.

View Quote Dr. Merrick: I have discovered the Holy Grail of science, Mr. Laurent. I give life. The Agnates... they're simply tools, instruments. They have no souls. The possibilities are endless here. In two years' time, I will be able to cure children's leukemia. How many people on Earth can say that, Mr. Laurent?
Laurent: I guess just you and God. That's the answer you're looking for, isn't it?

View Quote Albert Laurent: (showing Merrick his marks) When my father was killed, my brothers and I were branded, so everyone would know we were less than human. I've said and done things I'm not proud of, but sooner or later you realise, killing's a business. So... when did killing become a business for you?
Dr. Merrick: Oh, no. It's so much more than that. I have discovered the Holy Grail of science. In two years, I can cure children's leukemia. How many people on Earth can say that?
Albert Laurent: I guess just you and God. But that's the answer you want, isn't it?

View Quote Dr. Merrick: What's troubling, you, Lincoln?
Lincoln Six-Echo: It - it's just... all right, Tuesday night is tofu night, and I'm asking myself "Who here decided that everyone likes tofu in the first place, and what is tofu anyway?" And why can't I have bacon? I line up every morning, and I'm not allowed any bacon for my breakfast. And - and tell me - let's talk about all the white. Why is everyone wearing white all the time? It's impossible to keep clean, I'm walking around, I get - I always get the gray stripe, I never get any color, and I hand it in to be cleaned, and - and someone cleans it and fold it neatly back in my drawer, but who? Who is that person? I don't know. I just - I wanna know answers and I - and I wish that there was more.
Dr. Merrick: More?
Lincoln Six-Echo: Yeah, more than just waiting to go to The Island!
