TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES [2003]

The Machines Will Rise

 I'm back.

[Terminator]

John Connor is the leader of the worldwide resistance and last hope for mankind.

[Terminator]

The future has not been written. 

There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. 

I wish I could believe that. 

My name is John Connor, they tried to murder me before I was born, 

when I was 13 they tried again. 

Machines from the future. Terminators. 

All my life my mother told me the storm was coming, Judgment Day, 

the beginning of the war between man and machines. 

Three billion lives would vanish in an instant, 

and I would lead what was left of the human race to ultimate victory. 

It hasn't happened, 

no bombs fell, computers didn't take control, we stopped Judgment Day. 

I should feel safe, but I don't, 

so I live off the grid - no phone, no address, no one and nothing can find me. 

I've erased all connections to the past, 

but as hard as I try I can't erase my dreams, my nightmares.

[John Connor]

By the time Skynet became self-aware 

it had spread into millions of computer servers across the planet. 

Ordinary computers in office buildings, dorm rooms; everywhere. 

It was software; in cyberspace. 

There was no system core; it could not be shutdown. 

The attack began at 6:18 PM, just as he said it would. 

Judgment Day, 

the day the human race was almost destroyed by the weapons they'd built to protect themselves. 

I should have realized it was never our destiny to stop Judgment Day, 

it was merely to survive it, together. 

The Terminator knew; he tried to tell us, but I didn't want to hear it. 

Maybe the future has been written. 

I don't know; all I know is what the Terminator taught me; never stop fighting. 

And I never will. 

The battle has just begun.

[John Connor]

Your future, my destiny, I want no part in it, I never did.

[John Connor]

[John Connor]: Do you even remember me? 

Sarah Connor? 

Blowing up Cyberdyne? 

Hasta la vista, baby? 

Ring any bells?

[Terminator]: That was a different T-101.

[John Connor]: What, do you guys come off an assembly line or something?

[Terminator]: Exactly.

[John Connor]: Oh man, I'm gonna have to teach you everything all over again.

[John Connor]: So... she's an anti-Terminator Terminator? You've got to be shitting me.

[Terminator]: No, I am not shitting you.

[Kate Brewster]: What exactly am I in this future of yours?

[Terminator]: You're John Connor's spouse and second-in-command.

[Kate Brewster]: No, I... [looks at John]

[John Connor]: What?

[Kate Brewster]: You're a mess.

[John Connor]: Hey, you're not exactly my type, either.

ROMEO + JULIET [1996]

My Only Love Sprung From My Only Hate

[Romeo]: Is love a tender thing? 

It is too rough, too rude, too boisterous, and it pricks like thorn.

[Mercutio]: If love be rough with you, be rough with love. 

Prick love for pricking and you beat love down.

 I am Fortune's fool! 

[Romeo]

He that hath the steerage of my course, direct my sail! 

[Romeo] 

Goodnight, goodnight! 

Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say goodnight till it be morrow. 

[Juliet]

Romeo, what's here? Poison? Drunk all, and left no friendly drop to help me after?

[Juliet] 

[Romeo]: If I profane with my unworthiest hand this holy shrine, the gentle sin is this. 

My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

[Juliet]: Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, 
which mannerly devotion shows in this. 

For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, 
and palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.

[Romeo]: Have not saints lips, and holy palmers, too?

[Juliet]: Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.

[Romeo]: Well, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do. 

They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair. 

[Juliet]: Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake. 

[Romeo]: Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take. 

[Romeo, they kiss]: Thus from my lips, by thine, my sin is purged. 

[Juliet]: Then have my lips the sin that they have took? 

[Romeo]: Sin from my lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again. 

[Juliet, they kiss again]: You kiss by the book.

  

Romeo, the love I bear thee can afford no better term than this: 
Thou art a villain.

[Tybalt]

LITTLE WOMEN [1994]

Save A Place In Your Heart For The Unforgettable Story Of These... 

LITTLE WOMEN

Feminine weaknesses and fainting spells are the direct result of our confining young girls to the house, bent over their needlework, and restrictive corsets.

[Marmee March]

Oh, Jo. Jo, you have so many extraordinary gifts; how can you expect to lead an ordinary life? 

You're ready to go out and - and find a good use for your talent. 

Tho' I don't know what I shall do without my Jo. 

Go, and embrace your liberty. 

And see what wonderful things come of it.

[Marmee March]

[Jo March]: I find it poor logic to say that because women are good, women should vote. 

Men do not vote because they are good; they vote because they are male, 

and women should vote, not because we are angels and men are animals, 

but because we are human beings and citizens of this country. 

[Mr. Mayer]: You should have been a lawyer, Miss March. 

[Jo March]: I should have been a great many things, Mr. Mayer.

Well, of course Aunt March prefers Amy over me. Why shouldn't she? 

I'm ugly and awkward and I always say the wrong things. 

I fly around throwing away perfectly good marriage proposals. 

I love our home, but I'm just so fitful and I can't stand being here! 

I'm sorry, I'm sorry Marmee. There's just something really wrong with me. 

I want to change, but I - I can't. And I just know I'll never fit in anywhere.

[Jo March]

If only I could be like father and crave violence and go to war and stand up to the lions of injustice.

[Jo March]

[Marmee March]: I fear you would have a long engagement, three or four years. 

John must secure a house before you can marry and do his service to the union.

[Jo March]: John? Marry? You mean that poky old Mr Brooke? 

How did he weasel his way into this family?

[Marmee March]: Jo! Mr Brooke has been very kind to visit father in the hospital every day.

[Jo March]: He's dull as powder Meg, can't you at least marry someone amusing? 

[Meg March]: I'm fond of John, he's kind and serious and I'm not afraid of being poor.

[Jo March]: Marmee, you can't just let her go and marry him. 

[Meg March]: I'd hardly just go and marry anyone.

[Marmee March]: I would rather Meg marry for love and be a poor man's wife than marry for riches and lose her self-respect. 

[Meg March]: So, you don't mind that John is poor.

[Marmee March]: No, but I'd rather he have a house.

[Jo March]: Why must we marry at all? Why can't things just stay as they are?

[Marmee March]: It's just a proposal, nothing can be decided on. 

Now girls? Don't spoil the day.

[Marmee, after Amy has burned a precious manuscript]: It is a very great loss and you have every right to be put out. 

But don't let the sun go down on your anger. 

Forgive each other, begin again tomorrow.

[Jo March]: I will never forgive her.

We'll all grow up one day, Meg. 

We might as well know what we want.

[Amy March] 

Well, it's not like being stuck with the dreadful nose you get. 

One does have a choice to whom one loves.

[Amy March]

[Younger Amy March]: Do you love Laurie more than you love me?

[Jo March]: Don't be silly! I could never love anyone more than I love my sisters. 

[Laurie]: I have loved you since the moment I clapped eyes on you. 

What could be more reasonable than to marry you? 

[Jo March]: We'd kill each other.

[Laurie]: Nonsense! 

[Jo March]: Neither of us can keep our temper-... 

[Laurie]: I can, unless provoked. 

[Jo March]: We're both stupidly stubborn, especially you. We'd only quarrel! 

[Laurie]: I wouldn't! 

[Jo March]: You can't even propose without quarreling. 

Someday you'll find a man, a good man, and you'll love him, and marry him, and live and die for him. 

And I'll be hanged if I stand by and watch.

[Laurie]

You must write from life, from the depths of your soul! 

[Friedrich Bhaer]

Over the mysteries of female life there is drawn a veil best left undisturbed. 

[John Brooke] 

I know I shall be homesick for you even in Heaven.

[Beth]

[Beth March]: If God wants me with Him, there is none who will stop Him. I don't mind. 

I was never like the rest of you... making plans about the great things I'd do. 

I never saw myself as anything much. Not a great writer like you.

[Jo March]: Beth, I'm not a great writer. 

[Beth March]: But you will be. 

Oh, Jo, I've missed you so. 

Why does everyone want to go away? 

I love being home. But I don't like being left behind. 

Now I am the one going ahead. I am not afraid. I can be brave like you.
