View Quote You see, Po, kung fu may be performed by the body, but its secrets are housed in the spirit. And now that I have access to the Spirit Realm... [Po: You're gonna steal Tai Lung's kung fu?] His and those of every master villain that came before me. And once I do, no one will dare underestimate me again.

View Quote Tai Lung. Big fan.

View Quote [after stealing Tai Lung's kung fu and throws him a cage before locking him up] Yes! I've got it! The Tai Lung Nerve Strike! The power, the possession! [Tai Lung: What have you done to me?] All of your kung fu is now mine! And the best part is: I'm just getting warmed up.

View Quote Aibileen: I was born 1911, Chicksaw County, Piedmont Plantation.
Skeeter: And did you know as a girl growing up that one day you'd be a maid?
Clark: Yes ma'am, I did.
Skeeter: And you knew that because...
Aibileen: My mama was a maid. My grandmama was a house slave.
Skeeter: [whispering as she writes down] "house slave..." Did you ever dream of being something else? [Aibileen nods yes] What does it feel like to raise a white child when your own child's at home being looked after by somebody else?

View Quote You're good at games. Maybe you'll be a Gamemaker like me.

View Quote Dr. Gaul: "Snow fell down in the cage, it fell down in the cage." You're good at games. Maybe you'll be a Gamemaker like me.
Dean Highbottom: That's if the Games continue at all.
Dr. Gaul: Oh, they'll continue. With performances like young Mr. Snow's in that zoo. I came to ask your star mentor a question. What are the Hunger Games for?
Coryo: They’re to punish the districts for their uprising, to commemorate the end of the war-
Dr. Gaul: "They're to commemorate"- blah, blah, blah, dull, dull, dull. Punishment can take myriad forms. Why not drop bombs, cancel food shipments, stage executions? Why games?
Sejanus: Shouldn’t we be asking ourselves whether or not they’re right in the first place?
Dr. Gaul: You have a problem with my Games?
Sejanus: Some of those kids were two years old when the war ended. The oldest of them were only eight. The Capitol is supposed to be everyone’s government now. It is supposed to protect all of us. I don’t see how making children fight each other to the death is protecting anyone.
Dr. Gaul: That sort of sympathy might interfere with your mentoring assignment.
Dean Highbottom: Perhaps the Capitol students are ill-suited to be mentoring tributes. Perhaps the Game’s time has passed.
Coryo: Dean Highbottom is wrong. My classmates, too. Maybe Sejanus is onto something here. Maybe we should be viewing those Tributes as human beings. I mean, you saw those kids in the zoo, they just... they just wanted to get to know Lucy Gray. If we need people to watch, we should be letting them get closer to the tributes before the Games. To make the stakes personal.
Dr. Gaul: Who will watch the Games if they care what happens to the Tributes?
Coryo: Everyone. If they thought the Tribute they cared about had a chance of winning. People need someone to root for and someone to root against. We need them to invest. And if we bend a few Capitol laws, we could even have them place bets. Look, I know Lucy Gray may not win in the arena but if you give her a chance, I would bet the Plinth Prize that she can win people's attention.
Dr. Gaul: I'd like you to write up a proposal of these thoughts tonight, Mr. Snow.
Clemmie: Wait. You mean you might actually use his ideas?
Dr. Gaul: If it'll help the ratings, why not.

View Quote [Coryo and Clemmie are walking up steps escorted by peacekeepers]
Dr. Gaul: Mr. Snow. Ms. Dovecote. Come and see my new babies.
Clemmie: Is there a point to the color?
Dr. Gaul: There's a point to everything, Ms. Dovecote, or to nothing at all. Which brings me neatly to your proposal. Which one of you actually wrote it?
Coryo: Well, there was-
Clemmie: I was inspired by Coriolanus yesterday, of course. His little betting idea. But the sponsorships and the gifts in the arena, those were all mine.
Coryo: Clemmie?
Dr. Gaul: So it's your sweaty handwriting on that page. Very impressive, Ms. Dovecote. Unfortunately, my assistant mistook it for trash this morning and lined the shelf of this very terrarium with it. So, please, Ms. Dovecote, retrieve it for us, won't you? So we might all consider your inspired ideas. Don't worry, my little predators are perfectly docile with those they can trust. So if they're used to your scent, if you've handled their food, for example, or if they've inhaled the sweat of your palm on a page, they'll leave you alone. [coldly] A new scent, however ... You'd be on your own, little girl. [stares Clemensia down] Retrieve it.
[Clemensia reluctantly reaches down into the tank; a snake bites her.]
Coryo: Clemmie! [Clemmie falls off the stand] Clemmie, no! No!
Dr. Gaul: You asked about the colors, Ms. Dovecote? I want my enemies to see a rainbow of destruction engulfing the world. I'm not above using spectacle to create a little terror. A strategy your classmate here articulated very well in his proposal. [grins at Coryo] They're good, your suggestions! I'm going to recommend my team implement as many as possible tomorrow.
Coryo: What? Will she die?
Dr. Gaul: The pleasure in breaking ground in one's research is one gets to find out. You better keep Ms. Dovecote's fate between us. I don't think her mother would be happy to learn how she caught this sudden flu. Now run along. You have an arena to promote and it's time for my milk and crackers.

Black Adam: There's no one on this planet that can stop me.
Amanda Waller: I can call in a favor and send people who aren't from this planet.
Black Adam: Send them all.
Amanda Waller: As you wish.
[Black Adam destroys the communicator with his lighting powers]
Superman: It's been a while since anyone's made the world this nervous... [reveals himself] Black Adam. We should talk.
