IRON MAN [2008]

Heroes Aren't Born. They're Built.

Tony Stark.

Visionary.

Genius.

American patriot.

Even from an early age, the son of legendary weapons developer Howard Stark quickly stole the spotlight with his brilliant and unique mind.

At age 4, he built his first circuit board.

At age 6, his first engine.

And at 17, he graduated summa cum laude from MIT.

Then, the passing of the titan.

Howard Stark's lifelong friend and ally, Obadiah Stane, 

steps in to help fill the gap left by the legendary founder, 

until at age 21, the prodigal son returns and is annointed the new CEO of Stark Industries.

With the keys to the kingdom, Tony ushers in a new era for his father's legacy, 

creating smarter weapons, advanced robotics, satellite targeting.

Today, Tony Stark has changed the face of the weapon industry by ensuring freedom and protecting America and her interests around the globe.

~Announcer

Jarvis, after Christine try to dial it: You are not authorized to access this area.

Christine: Jesus!

Pepper: That's Jarvis.

He runs the house.

I've got your clothes here.

They've been dry-cleaned and pressed, 

and there's a car waiting for you outside that will take you anywhere you'd like to go.

Christine: You must be the famous Pepper Potts.

Pepper: Indeed I am.

Christine: After all this time, Tony still has you picking up the dry-cleaning.

Pepper: I do anything and everything that Mr. Stark requires, 

including occasionally taking out the trash.

Will that be all?

Is it better to be feared or respected?

I say, is it too much to ask for both?

With that in mind, I humbly present the crown jewel of Stark Industries' Freedom Line.

It's the first missile system to incorporate our proprietary repulsor technology.

They say the best weapon is one you never have to fire.

I respectfully disagree.

I prefer the weapon you only have to be fire once.

That's how Dad did it, that's how America does it, and it's worked out pretty well so far.

Find an excuse to let one of these off the chain and I personally guarantee you, 

the bad guys won't even want to come out of their caves.

For your consideration, The Jericho.

~Tony Stark

Welcome, Tony Stark, the most famous mass murderer in the history of America.

~Abu Bakaar

Look, what you just saw, that is your legacy, Stark.

Your life's work, in the hands of those murderers.

Is that how you want to go out?

Is this the last act of defiance of the great Tony Stark?

Or are you going to do something about it?

~Yinsen

Tony: Got a family?

Yinsen: Yes, and I will see them when I leave here.

And you, Stark?

Tony: No.

Yinsen: No?

So you're a man who has everything... and nothing.

Phil: I'm Agent Phil Coulson with The Strategic Homeland Intervension, Enforcement and Logistics Division. [handed her a name card]

Pepper: That's quite a mouthful.

Phil: I know. We're working on it.

A man with a dozen of these can rule all of Asia.

And your dream of Stark's throne.

~Raza to Obadiah

Tony: You stood by my side all these years while I reaped the benefits of destruction.

And now that I'm trying to protect the people that I put in harm's way,

you're going to walk out?

Pepper: You're gonna kill yourself, Tony.

I'm not going to be a part of it.

Tony: I shouldn't be alive unless it was for a reason.

I'm not crazy, Pepper.

I just finally know what I have to do.

And I know in my heart that it's right.

Analyst: That's what we're trying to do, but honestly, it's impossible.

Obadiah: Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave!

With a box of scraps!

Analyst: Well I'm sorry, I'm not Tony Stark.

You know, if I were Iron Man, I'd have this girlfriend who knew my true identity.

She'd be a wreck cause she'd always be worrying that I was going to die,

yet so proud of the man I'd become.

She'd be wildly conflicted which would only make her more crazy about me.

~Tony, to Pepper

"I am Iron Man"

You think you're the only superhero in the world?

Mr Stark, you've become part of a bigger universe.

You just don't know it yet.

~Nick Fury

SHALLOW HAL [2001]

True Love Is Worth The Weight!

[Hal]: See, the problem is I'm kinda picky 

[Tony Robbins]: What do you mean, picky? 

[Hal]: Well, for instance, I like 'em real young. 

Like, did you ever see Paulina in her first 'Sports Illustrated' layout? 

[Tony Robbins]: You're looking for a young Paulina type? 

[Hal]: Well, that face, but with better headlights. 

You know how hers have kind of dimmed lately? 

Heidi Klums beams would do. And her teeth. 

Or, ooh, that Britney Spears girl. She's got great knockers. But she's a tad muscular. 

Uh, actually, you know what? Her ass would do, too, if she had a better grille. 

Like, uh, Michelle Pfeiffer back when she did "Grease 2". 

But she'd have to be a little smilier than Michelle. 

Kinda like Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, before she got Stamosed. But not as skinny. 

 Someone a little meatier, like Heidi. But without the accent. 

You know those accents: yah-yah-yah-yah. They really get old fast. 

You know what I mean. Someone like that. 

[Tony Robbins]: Hal, don't you think you're being a bit shallow here in the way you look at women? 

[Hal]: Well, no! You know, I'd like her to be into culture and shit, too. 

[Tony Robbins]: Ok Hal, hypothetical situation; 

Which do you prefer, a girlfriend missing one breast or half a brain? 

[Hal]: Hmmm, toughie. What about the remaining breast? Is it big?

[Hal]: There's Rosemary. 

[Mauricio]: Where? 

[Hal]: Right there! 

[Mauricio]: Is she behind the Rhino?

[Rosemary]: Hal, do me a favor and stop saying that I'm pretty and that I'm not fat, ok? 

Cause it makes me uncomfortable.

[Hal]: Umm, ok. Do you have a problem with compliments? 

[Rosemary]: Look, I know what I am and I know what I'm not. 

I'm the girl who, you know, gets really good grades and who's not afraid to be funny. 

And I'm the girl who has a lot of friends who are boys and no boyfriends. 

I'm not beautiful, ok, and I never will be. 

And I'm fine with that. 

But when you go around saying I'm something that I'm not, it's just, it's just not nice. 

I saw the way your friend Mauricio looked at me; 

I thought he was going to shoot me with a tranquilizer gun and tag my ear. 

[Rosemary]

SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE [1998]

Love Is The Only Inspiration

[William Shakespeare]: I'm done with theater. 

The playhouse is for dreamers. 

Look what the dream brought us. 

[Viola de Lesseps]: It was we ourselves did that. 

And for my life to come, I would not have it otherwise. 

[William Shakespeare]: I have a wife, yes, 
and I cannot marry the daughter of Sir Robert De Lesseps. 

You needed no wife come from Stratford to tell you that, and yet, you let me come to your bed. 

[Viola de Lesseps]: Calf-love. I loved the writer and gave up the prize for a sonnet. 

[William Shakespeare]: I was the more deceived. 

[Viola de Lesseps]: Yes, you were deceived, for I did not know how much I loved you. 

Love knows nothing of rank or river bank.

[William Shakespeare]

Love denied blights the soul we owe to God.

[William Shakespeare]

Good sir? I heard you were a poet. But a poet of no words? 

[Viola de Lesseps]

This is not life, Will. It is a stolen season. 

[Viola de Lesseps] 

I love you, Will, beyond poetry. 

[Viola de Lesseps]

The Master of the Revels despises us all for vagrants and peddlers of bombast. 

But my father, James Burbage, had the first license to make a company of players from Her Majesty, and he drew from poets the literature of the age. 

We must show them that we are men of parts. 

Will Shakespeare has a play. I have a theatre. The Curtain is yours. 

[Richard Burbage]

My lady, the tide waits for no man, but I swear it would wait for you.

[Lord Wessex] 

[Lord Wessex]: How is this to end?

[Queen Elizabeth]: As stories must when love's denied: with tears and a journey.

I don't know. It's a mystery.

[Philip Henslowe]

SE7EN [1995]

Let He Who Is Without Sin Try To Survive

 

[David Mills]: Do you like what you do for a living? These things you see? 

[Man in Massage Parlour Booth]: No, I don't. But that's life.

[David Mills]: Wait, I thought all you did was kill innocent people. 

[John Doe]: Innocent? Is that supposed to be funny? 

An obese man... a disgusting man who could barely stand up; a man who if you saw him on the street, you'd point him out to your friends so that they could join you in mocking him; a man, who if you saw him while you were eating, you wouldn't be able to finish your meal. 

After him, I picked the lawyer and I know you both must have been secretly thanking me for that one. 

This is a man who dedicated his life to making money by lying with every breath that he could muster to keeping murderers and rapists on the streets! 

[David Mills]: Murderers?

[John Doe]: A woman.

[David Mills]: Murderers, John, like yourself? 

[John Doe]: A woman... so ugly on the inside she couldn't bear to go on living if she couldn't be beautiful on the outside. 

A drug dealer, a drug dealing pederast, actually! 

And let's not forget the disease-spreading whore! 

Only in a world this shitty could you even try to say these were innocent people and keep a straight face. But that's the point. 

We see a deadly sin on every street corner, in every home, and we tolerate it. 

We tolerate it because it's common, it's trivial. 

We tolerate it morning, noon, and night.Well, not anymore. 

I'm setting the example. 

What I've done is going to be puzzled over and studied and followed... forever.

[John Doe]: Don't ask me to pity those people. 

I don't mourn them any more than I do the thousands that died at Sodom and Gomorrah.

[William Sommerset]: Is that to say, John, that what you were doing was God's good work? 

[John Doe]: The Lord works in mysterious ways.

[William Sommerset]: I just don't think I can continue to live in a place that embraces and nurtures apathy as if it was virtue. 

[David Mills]: You're no different. You're no better.

[William Sommerset]: I didn't say I was different or better. I'm not. 

Hell, I sympathize; I sympathize completely. 

Apathy is the solution. 

I mean, it's easier to lose yourself in drugs than it is to cope with life. 

It's easier to steal what you want than it is to earn it. 

It's easier to beat a child than it is to raise it. 

Hell, love costs: it takes effort and work.

People don't want a hero, they want to eat cheeseburgers, play the lotto and watch television.

[William Sommerset]

It seems that envy is my sin

[John Doe]

Nothing wrong with a man taking pleasure in his work. 

I won't deny my own personal desire to turn each sin against the sinner. 

[John Doe]
