THE PUNISHER [2004]

This Is Not Revenge. 
It's Punishment!
[Frank Castle]: It's been five months since my family was killed. 
I don't see ONE man in jail. 
[Police Chief Morris]: Obviously you're upset... 
[Frank Castle]: Upset? Is that the word? 
I used to get upset. 
When I got a flat tire, when a plane was delayed. 
I used to get 'upset' when the Yankees won the series. 
So if that's what upset means, what am I feeling now? 
If you know the word, tell me because I don't. 

[Joan]: I know what it's like. 
I know what it's like to make your memories go away. 
You can make new memories; good ones. 
Good memories can save your life. 
[The Punisher]: I'm not what you're lookin' for.  

[singing] I can hear what you're thinking. 
All your doubts and fears. 
And if you look in my eyes, in time you'll find the reason I'm here. 
And in time, all things shall pass away. 
In time, you may come back some day, to live once more or die once more. 
In time, your time will be no more
...
Like that song? I wrote that for you. I'm gonna sing it at your funeral. 
[Harry Heck]

You were right. Good memories can save your life. 
[Frank Castle]

I leave this as a declaration of intent, so no one will be confused. 
One: 'Si vis pacem, para bellum.' 
Latin. 
Boot Camp Sergeant made us recite it like a prayer. 
'Si vis pacem, para bellum - If you want peace, prepare for war.'
Two: Frank Castle is dead. 
He died with his family. 
Three: in certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. 
In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law. 
To pursue... natural justice. 
This is not vengeance. 
Revenge is not a valid motive, it's an emotional response. 
No, not vengeance. 
Punishment. 
[The Punisher]

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING [2003]

The Eye Of The Enemy Is Moving 


They cursed us.
"Murderer" they called us.
They cursed us and drove us away.
And we wept, precious, we wept to be so alone.
And we only wish to catch a fish.
And we forgot the taste of bread, the sound of trees, the softness of the wind.
We even forgot our own name.
~Gollum

Aragorn: Everyday, Frodo moves closer to Mordor.
Gandalf: Do we know that?
Aragorn: What does your heart tell you?
Gandalf: That Frodo is alive. Yes, he's alive.

Gandalf: He will raze Minas Tirith to the ground before he sees a king return to The Throne of Men.
If he beacons of Gondor are lit, Rohan must be ready for war.
Theoden: Tell me, why should we ride to the aid of those who did not come to ours?
What do we owe Gondor?

 Merry: He's always followed me, everywhere I went, since before we were twins.
I would get him into the worst sort of trouble, but I always there to get him out.
Now he's gone. Just like Frodo and Sam.
Aragorn: One thing I have learned about Hobbits, they're a most hardy folk.

Arwen: Tell me what have you seen.
You have the gift of foresight, what did you see?
Elrond: I looked into your future and I saw death.
Arwen: But there is also life. You saw there was a child. You saw my son.
Elrond: That future is almost gone.
Arwen: But it is not lost.
Elrond: Nothing is certain.
Arwen: Some things are certain.
If I leave him now, I will regret it forever.
It is time.


Gandalf: The White Tree of Gondor. The Tree of The King.
Lord Denethor, however, is not king. He is a steward only, a caretaker of the throne.
Now listen carefully. 
Lord Denethor is Boromir's father. 
To give him news of his beloved son's death would be most unwise.
[Pippin nods]
And do not mention Frodo or the ring.
[Pippin nods]
And say nothing of Aragorn either.
In fact, it's better if you don't speak at all, Peregrin Took.
[Pippin nods]

Gandalf: War is coming. The enemy is on your doorstep.
As steward, you are charged with the defense of this city.
Where are Gondor's armies?
You still have friends. You are not alone in this fight.
Send word to Theodon of Rohan. Light the beacons.
Denethor: You think you are wise, Mithrandir.
Yet for all your subtleties, you have not wisdom.
Do you think the eyes of The White Tower are blind?
I have seen more than you know.
With your left hand you would use me as a shield against Mordor.
And with your right you'd seek to supplant me.
I know who rides with Theodon of Rohan.
Oh, yes. Word has reached my ears of this Aragorn, son of Arathorn.
And I tell you now, I will not bow to this ranger from the north, last of a ragged house long bereft of lordship.
Gandalf: Authority is not given to you to deny the return of the king, steward.
Denethor: The rule of Gondor is mine and no other's!

I don't want to be in a battle.
But waiting on the edge of one I can't escape is even worse.
~Peregrin Took



Gandalf: Your father's will has turned to madness. Do not throw away your life so rashly.
Faramir: Where does my allegiance lie if not here?
This is The City of The Men of Numenor.
I will gladly give my life to defend her beauty, her memory, her wisdom.
Gandalf: Your father loves you, Faramir. He will remember it before the end.

Home is behind
The world ahead
And there are many paths to thread
Through shadow, to the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight
Mist and shadow
Cloud and shade
All shall fade ... All shall fade

Legolas: The horses are restless and the men are quiet.
Eomer: They grow nervous in the shadow of the mountain.
Gimli: That road there, where does that lead?
Legolas: It is the road to the Dimholt, the door under the mountain.
Eomer: None who venture there ever return. That mountain is evil.

Eomer: You should not encourage him.
Eowyn: You should not doubt him.
Eomer: I do not doubt his heart, only the reach of his arm.
Eowyn: Why should Merry be left behind? He has as much cause to go to war as you.
Why can he not fight for those he loves?
Eomer: You know as little of war as that Hobbit.
When the fear takes him, and the blood and the screams and the horror of battle take hold,
do you think he would stand and fight?
He would flee.
And he would be right to do so.
War is the province of men, Eowyn.

Elrond: I come on behalf of one whom I love.
Arwen is dying.
She will not long survive the evil that now spreads from Mordor.
The Light of The Evenstar is failing.
As Sauron's power grows, her strength wanes.
Arwen's life is now tied to the fate of the ring.
The shadow is upon us, Aragorn. The end has come.
Aragorn: It will not be our end, but his.
Elrond: You ride to war, but not to victory.
Sauron's armies march on Minas Tirith, this you know.
But in secret he sends another force which will attack from the river.
A fleet of Corsair ships sails from the south.
They'll be in the city in 2 days.
You're outnumbered, Aragorn. You need more men.
Aragorn: There are none.
Elrond: There are those who dwell in the mountain.
Aragorn: Murderers, traitors. You would call upon them to fight? 
They believe in nothing. They answer to no one.
Elrond: They will answer to The King of Gondor.
[show him the sword]
Elendil, The Flame of The West, forged from the shards of Narsil.
Aragorn: Sauron will not have forgotten The Sword of Elendil.
The blade that was broken shall return to Minas Tirith.
Elrond: The man who can wield the power of this sword
can summon to him an army more deadly than any that walks this earth.
Put aside the ranger. Become who you were born to be.
Take the Dimholt road.
I give hope to men.
Aragorn: I keep none for myself.

Aragorn: Why have you come?
Eowyn: Do you not know?
Aragorn: It is but a shadow and a thought that you love.
I cannot give you what you seek.
I have wished you joy since first I saw you.

Long ago, The Men of The Mountains swore an oath to the last king of Gondor,
to come to his aid, to fight.
But when the time came, when Gondor's need was dire, they fled,
vanishing into the darkness of the mountain.
And so Ilsidur cursed them, never to rest until they had fulfilled their pledge.
~Legolas

Who shall call them from the grey twilight?
The forgotten people.
The heir of him to whom the oath they swore.
From the north shall he come.
Need shall drive him.
He shall pass the door to The Paths of The Dead.
~Legolas

King of the Dead: The way is shut.
It was made by those who are dead. And the dead keep it.
The way is shut. Now you must die.
[Legolas shoot him by his arrow, but he missed it since he shoot a ghost]
Aragorn: I summon you to fulfill your oath.
King of the Dead: None but the king of Gondor may command me.
[The King of the Dead sworn his sword to Aragorn, but he can fend it by Elendil]
That line was broken.
Aragorn, grab The King of the Dead neck: It has been remade.
Fight for us and regain your honor.
What say you?
What say you?
Gimli: You waste your time, Aragorn. 
They had no honor in life, they have none now in death.
Aragorn: I am Isildur's heir.
Fight for me and I will hold your oaths fulfilled.
What say you?
[The King of Dead laugh]
You have my word!
Fight, and I will release you from this living death!
What say you?!

We fight.
~The King of The Dead

This task was appointed to you, Frodo of The Shire.
If you do not find a way, no one will.
~Galadriel

My Lady, you are fair and brave, and have much to live for, and many who love you.
I know it is too late to turn aside.
I know there is not much point now in hoping.
If I were a knight of Rohan, capable of great deeds, but I'm not, I'm a Hobbit.
And I know I can't save middle-earth.
I just want to help my friends.
Frodo.
Sam. 
Pippin.
More than anything, I wish I could see them again.
~Merry

Mr. Frodo, wake up.
Don't leave me here alone.
Don't go where I can't follow.
~Samwise Gamgee

Pippin: I didn't think it would end this way.
Gandalf: End? No, the journey doesn't end here.
Death is just another path, one that we all must take.

Witch King: You fool. No man can kill me. Die now.
[Merry stabs his feet]
Eowyn, take off her helmet: I am no man.

I see in your eyes, the same fear that would take the heart of me.
A day may come when the courage of men fails,
when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship.
But it is not this day.
An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of men comes crashing down.
But it is not this day.
This day we fight!
By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men Of The West!
~Aragorn


Frodo: I can't recall the taste of food, nor the sound of water, nor the touch of grass.
I'm naked in the dark.
There's nothing. No veil between me and the wheel of fire.
I can see him, with my waking eyes.
Sam: Then let us be rid of it, once and for all.
Come on, Mr. Frodo.
I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you.


[to The Hobbits]
My friends, you bow to no one.
~Aragorn, kneel before them

Farewell, my brave Hobbits.
My work is now finished.
Here at last, on the shores of the sea, comes the end of our fellowship.
I will not say, 'do not weep', for not all tears are an evil.
~Gandalf

FINDING NEMO [2003]

There Are 3.7 Trillion Fish In The Ocean*,
They're Looking For One
Coral: We still have to name them.
 Marlin: You want me to name all of them right now?
All right, we'll name this half junior Marlin Junior and this half Coral Junior.
Okay, we're done.
Coral: I like Nemo.
Marlin: Nemo. We'll name one Nemo, but I'd like most of them to be Marlin Junior.

I promise, I will never let anything happen to you, Nemo.
~Marlin

Marlin: All right, we're excited. The first day of school, here we go.
We're ready to learn to get some knowledge.
What's the one thing we have to remember about the ocean?
Nemo: It's not safe.
Marlin: That's my boy.

Nemo: Dad, maybe while I'm at school, I'll see a shark.
Marlin: I highly doubt that.
Nemo: Have you ever met a shark?
Marlin: No, and I don't plan to.
Nemo: How old are sea turtles?
Marlin: I don't know.
Nemo: Sandy Plankton from next door, he says that sea turtles live to be about 100 years old.
Marlin: You know what, if I ever meet a sea turtle, I'll ask him.
After I'm done talking to the shark, okay?

Bill: Hey, you're a clownfish. You're funny, right? Tell us a joke.
Marlin: Well, actually, that's a common misconception. 
Clownfish are no funnier than any other fish.

Bob: You're doing pretty well for a first- timer.
Marlin: You can't hold on to them forever, can you?
Bill: I had a tough time with my oldest out at the drop-off.
Marlin: THE DROP-OFF???
THEY'RE GOING TO THE DROP-OFF?
WHAT ARE YOU, INSANE?
WHY DON'T WE FRY THEM UP NOW AND SERVE THEM WITH CHIPS?
Bob: Hey Marty, calm down.
Marlin, swim away: Don't tell me to be calm, pony boy.
Bob: Pony boy?
Bill: For a clownfish, he really isn't that funny.
Ted: Pity.

Marlin: Okay, I was right, you'll start school in a year or two.
Nemo: No, dad! Just because you're scared of the ocean...
Marlin: Clearly you're not ready and you're not coming back until you are.
You think you can do these things, but you just can't, Nemo!
Nemo: I hate you!

Dory: Will you quit it?
Marlin: What?
Dory: I'm trying to swim here. Ocean isn't big enough for you?
You got a problem, buddy, huh, huh? Do you? Do you? You want a piece of me?
Ooh, I'm scared now. What?
Marlin: Wait a minute...
Dory: Stop following me, okay?!
Marlin: What are you talking about? You're showing me which way the boat went.
Dory: A boat? Hey, I've seen a boat. It passed by not too long ago. It went this way. Follow me!
Marlin: Wait a minute! 
What is going on? You already told me which way the boat was going.
Dory: I did? Oh, no.
Marlin: If this is some kind of practical joke, it's not funny! And I know funny! I'm a clownfish!
Dory: No, it's not. I know it's not. I'm so sorry.
I suffer from short-term memory loss.
Marlin: Short-term memory loss. I don't believe this.
Dory: No, it's true. I forget things almost instantly.
It runs in my family. At least, I think it does. Umm, where are they?
[see Marlin again] Can I help you?
Marlin: Something's wrong with you, really. You're wasting my time. I have to find my son.

Hello. Name's Bruce.
It's all right, I understand, why trust a shark, right?
~Bruce

Bruce: Thee meeting has officially come to order. Let us all say the pledge.
Bruce, Chum, Anchor: I am a nice shark, not a mindless eating machine.
If I am to change this image, I must first change myself.
Fish are friends, not food.
Anchor: Except stinkin' dolphins.
Chum: Dolphins! Yeah, they think they're so cute.
'Look at me, I'm a flippin' little dolphin. Let me flip for you.'
Ain't it something?


Nemo: I want to go home. Do you know where my dad is?
Peach: Honey, your dad's probably back at the pet store.
Nemo: Pet store?
Bloat: Yeah, you know, like... I'm from Bob's Fish Mart.
Gurgle: Pet Palace.
Bubbles: Fish-O-Rama.
Deb: Mail order.
Peach: Ebay.
Gurgle: So, which one is it?
Nemo: I'm from the ocean.

Bubbles: Wow, the big blue. What's it like?
Nemo: Big... and blue?
Bubbles: I knew it.

Nigel: Hello... Who's this?Deb: New guy, hahaha.
Gurgle: The dentist took him off the reef.
Nigel: An outie. From my neck of the woods, eh? Sorry if I ever took a snap at you.
Fish gotta swim, birds gotta eat.


Dory: Hey, Mr. Grumpy Gills, when life gets you down, know what you got to do?
Marlin: I don't want to know.
Dory: Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming.


Dory: Hey, what's the matter?
Marlin: What's the matter?
While they're doing their silly little impressions, 
I am miles from home with a fish that can't remember her name!
Dory: I bet that's frustrating.
Marlin: Meanwhile, my son is out there.
Dory: Your son Chico?
Marlin: Nemo. But it doesn't matter because no fish in this entire ocean is gonna help me.
Dory: Well, I'm helping you.

Dory: Come on, trust me on this.
Nemo: Trust you?
Dory: Yes, trust, that's what friends do.


 Nemo: How many times have you tried to get out?
Gill: Ah, I've lost count. Fish aren't meant to be in a box, kid. It does things to you.



Crush: It's awesome, Jellyman. The little dudes are just eggs.
We leave 'em on a beach to hatch and then, coo-coo-cachoo, they find their way back to the big ol' blue.
Marlin: All by themselves?
Crush: Yeah.
Marlin: But, dude, how do you know when they're ready?
Crush: You never really know. But when they know, you'll know, you know? Ha.


Nemo: I'm sorry I couldn't stop the...
Gill: No, I'm the one who should be sorry.
I was so ready to get out, so ready to taste that ocean, I was willing to put you in harm's way to get there. Nothing should be worth that.
I'm sorry I couldn't get you back to your father, kid.

Nigel: Your dad's been fighting the entire ocean looking for you.
Nemo: My father? Really?
Nigel: Oh, yeah. He's traveled hundreds of miles, battling sharks and jellyfish...
Nemo: Sharks? That can't be him.
Nigel: Are you sure? What was his name? Some sort of sport fish. Tuna? Trout?
Nemo: Marlin?
Nigel: Marlin! The little clownfish from the reef.
Nemo: It's my dad! He took on a shark!
Nigel: I heard he took on 3.
Gill: 3 sharks?
Bloat: That's 4,800 teeth!
Nigel: After you were taken by Diver Dan over there, your dad followed the boat like a maniac.
He's swimming, he's swimming, giving it all he's got, and then 3 gigantic sharks capture him,
and he blows them up and dives thousands of feet 
and get chased by a monster with huge teeth!
He ties this demon to a rock, and what's his reward?
He gets to battle an entire jellyfish forest!
Now he's with a bunch of sea turtles on the E.A.C and the word is he's headed this way right now, to Sydney!

Crush: Get ready. Your exit's coming up, man.
Marlin: Where? I don't see it.
Dory: Right there! I see it! I see it!
Marlin: You mean the swirling vortex of terror?
Crush: That's it, dude.
Marlin: Of course it is.
Crush: Okay, first, find your exit buddy. [Dory grabs Marlin quickly] Do you have your exit buddy?
Dory: Yes!
Crush: Okay, Squirt here will give you a rundown of proper exiting technique.
Squirt: Good afternoon. We're gonna have a great jump today.
Okay, crank a hard cutback as you hit the wall.
There's a screaming bottom turn, so watch out!
Remember, rip it, roll it, and punch it.
Marlin, in terror: I think he's trying to speak to me, I know it.
You know, you're really cute, but I don't know what you're saying.
Say the first thing again!

Marlin: Dory, I'm a little fella. I don't think that's a little fella.
Dory: Oh, big fella. Whale. Okay. Maybe he only speaks whale.
Mooo, weee neeed tooo fiind his son.
Marlin: What are you doing? Are you sure you speak whale?
Dory: Can youuuu give us diiirectionsss?
Marlin: Dory, heaven knows what you're saying!
See, he's swimming away.
Dory: Cooome baaack.
Marlin: He's not coming back. You offended him.
Dory: Maybe a different dialect.
Moooohooooo...
Marlin: Dory, this is not whale. You're speaking upset stomach.



Dory: He says it's time to let go. Everythings' gonna be all right.
Marlin: How do you know?
How do you know something bad isn't gonna happen?
Dory: I don't!

Nigel: Okay, don't make any sudden moves.
Hop inside my mouth if you want to live.
Marlin: Hop in your mouth, ha? And how does that make me live?
Nigel: Because, I can take you to your son.
Marlin: Yeah, right.
Nigel: No, I know your son. He's orange with a gimpy fin on one side.

Dory, if it wasn't for you, I never would've even made it here.
So thank you.
~Marlin

Nemo: Excuse me, are you all right?
Dory: I don't know where I am, I don't know what's going on.
I think I lost somebody but I can't remember.
Nemo: It's okay. I'm looking for someone, too.
Hey, we can look together.
Dory: I'm Dory.
Nemo: I'm Nemo.
Dory: Nemo? That's a nice name.
