ZATHURA [2005]

Adventure Is Waiting

Dad: Danny, you and Walter are different people.

He's good at some things, you're good at other things.

That's how people are.

Danny: He's beat me at everything.

Dad: Listen to me, this is important.

You're a very special kid.

Danny: That's what people say when they can't think of anything.

Dad: You know how you always make up games and pretend to be characters?

You have an incredible imagination.

Amazing imagination.

A whole universe of an imagination.

And I use my imagination for a living, so I know what I'm talking about.

There are some days, boys, when you gotta grow up all at once.

I need today to be one of those days.

~Dad

Danny: You're gonna leave us alone in this creepy old house?

Dad: It's not creepy, it's old.

Walter: I like Mom's better.

Dad: So did she, and now it's hers.

Look, this is a very special house.

The reason I'm working to fix it up is I wanna make a home for us here.

I know it's not Mom's house, and I know it's a little creaky,

but give it some time, it's gonna grow on you.

Meteor Shower.

Take evasive action.

Danny: What's evasive action?

Walter: It's when you get out of the way.

Danny: What exactly am I supposed to get out of the way of, exactly?

You're Promoted to a Starship Captain.

Move Ahead 2 Spaces.

Shipmate Enters Cryonic Sleep Chamber for 5 Turns.

Walter: "Zathura.

Attention, space adventurers. Zathura awaits.

Do you have what it takes to navigate the galaxy?

It's not for the faint of heart.

For once you embark upon your journey, there's no turning back until Zathura's reached.

Pieces reset at the end of each game.

Play again and again for different adventures."

That's it, we gotta keep playing.

Danny: I'm not playing that thing.

Walter: Yes, we are. It says we go home if we win.

Danny: It didn't say that.

Walter: Yes, it did. "Pieces reset at the end of each game."

That means we go home when we're finished.

Danny: All I know is that when we play this game, bad things happen.

Walter: All I know is when I played that game, I got promoted.

So I'm gonna win this and get us home.

Your Robot is Defective.

 Danny: What's so great about home, anyway?
Walter: What do you mean?
Everything was great until you came along.
 Danny: See? You treat me like everything's my fault.
Walter: You're the one who pushed the button in the first place. 
Danny: I just wanted to play a game with you, Walter. 
Walter: Fine, what do you want?
 Danny: I want you not to be mean to me, not ignore me, 
and I want you to treat me like your brother. 
Walter: Fine.
Danny: Do we have an understanding? 
Walter: Yeah.
Danny: Wasn't that easy?

 You Are Visited by Zorgons

 Reprogram.

 Rescue Stranded Astronaut.

 Astronaut: Zorgons. They're big, gnarly lizards. Cold-blooded heatseekers.
 And the tiniest spark of warmth will bring them in like moths.
 Flying all around galaxy, looking for anything to burn up.
Walter: Why don't they just burn up their own planet? 
Astronaut: Oh, they already did. 
That's not even the worst of it. 
The real problem is their ravenous appetite. They never stop eating.
 Walter: What do they eat?
 Astronaut: Meat.
Danny: That's good. 
Astronaut, to Danny: Dude, you're meat. 

 Caught Cheating.

 Walter: I'm almost to the end, look. A few more and I win.
 Danny: I hope you win. I don't care who wins.
Walter: Because you never win at anything.
That's why he cheats all the time, he can never win.
Danny: No, I don't.
Walter: Yeah, you do. And you almost got me killed.
Danny: It wasn't my fault.
Walter: It's not your fault? How is it not your fault? This is all your fault.
 Everything's your fault. It's your fault Mom and Dad got divorced.
Astronaut, to Walter: Hey!
Danny, throw away the board game: You suck! 

 Astronaut: Don't do it.
Walter: Don't do what?
 Astronaut: Don't wish what you're thinking.
 Walter: You don't know what I'm thinking.
Astronaut: Yeah, well, I can tell it ain't good. 
Listen, no matter how good an idea seems like when you're angry, it never is.
You gotta trust me on this one, Walter.

 Astronaut: What did you wish for?
 Walter, hold the football: This.
 Astronaut: You wished for a football?
 Walter: Signed by Brett Favre.
Danny: Why'd you wish for a football?
 You could have just wished the game over.
You could have wished us out of here. 
Walter: I was under a lot of pressure.
 He was yelling at me.

  Walter: How you doing in there?
 Danny: Okay.
 Walter: Listen to me, it's gonna be real easy, okay?
 Just gonna lower you down there, grab the game, and we'll pull you up.
 Danny: Yeah.
Walter: Nothing's gonna happen to you, okay?
 Danny: Yeah.
Walter: Because I'm your brother. And that's what being a brother means.

TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON [2009]

The Next Chapter Begins

Edward: So how come Jacob Black gets to give you a gift and I don't?

Bella: Because I have nothing to give back to you.

Edward: Bella, you give me everything just by breathing.

The Volturi are a very old, very powerful family.

I guess they're the closest thing to royalty my world has.

They're very refined.

No respect for human life, of course, but a respect for the arts and the sciences, at least.

And the law... Above all, the law.

~Edward Cullen

Only one that's regularly enforced.

That we keep the existence of our kind a secret.

We don't make spectacles of ourselves,

and we don't kill conspicuosly unless of course, you want to die.

~Edward Cullen

Bella: I could protect you, if you change me.

Edward: Bella, you already do protect me.

You're my only reason to stay alive, if that's what I am.

But it's my job to protect you.

If a rush of danger is what it takes to see him, then that's what I'll find.

~Bella Swan

Bella, wipe the blood on her head: Oh my God, I'm sorry.

Jacob: What, you're apologizing for bleeding?

Jacob: What, I can't hold your hand?

Bella: No, of course you can.

I just think it means something a little different to you, so...

Jacob: Okay, tell me something.

You like me, right? [Bella nodded]

And you think I'm sort of beautiful?

Bella: Jacob, please don't do this.

Jacob: Why?

Bella: Because you're about to ruin everything. And I need you.

Jacob: Well, I've got loads of time. I'm not gonna give up.

Bella: I don't want you to, but it's just cause I don't want you to go anywhere.

And that's really selfish.

I'm not like a car that you can fix up.

I'm never gonna run right.

So, I should be fair to you.

It's not something I can just run away from, Bella.

But I would run away with you... if I could.

~Jacob Black

Bella: So you're a werewolf.

Jacob: Yeah, last time I checked.

Bella, can't stand seeing Edward being tortured: Kill me! Kill me! Not him!

Aro: How extraordinary.

You would give up your life for someone like us.

A vampire.

A soulles monster.

Bella: You don't know a thing about his soul!

Edward: Bella, the only reason I left was because I thought I was protecting you.

I needed you to have a chance at a normal, happy life.

Bella: It was so easy for you to leave.

Edward: Leaving you was the hardest thing I've done in 100 years.

And I swear, I will never fail you again.

I'm sorry.

Edward, about Charlie: I'm not technically breaking any of his rules.

He did say I couldn't take a step inside the door, I came in through the window.

He's not gonna forgive me easily.

Bella: I know.

Edward: Can you?

I hope you can, cause I honestly don't know how to live without you.

Bella: The only thing that I can think of for it to be fair is to just vote.

Edward: You don't know what you're talking about.

Bella, to Edward: Shut up! [to Alice] Alice?

Alice: I already consider you my sister. [hugs Bella] Yes.

Bella: Thank you.

Jasper: I vote yes.

It would be nice to not want to kill you all the time.

Rosalie: I'm sorry. I'm really sorry to both of you for how I've acted,

and I'm really grateful that you were brave enough to go and save my brother.

But this isn't a life.

I would have chosen for myself.

And I wish that there's been someone to vote'no' for me.

So... no.

Emmett: I vote 'hell yeah' [hugs Bella]

And we can pick a fight with these Volturi some other way.

Esme: I already consider you a part of the family. [nodded] Yes.

[Carlisle step towards Edward]

Edward: Why are you doing this to me? You know what this means.

Carlisle: You've chosen not to live without her, which leaves me no choice.

I won't lose my son.

Edward: Jacob, I know you have something to say to me.

But I want to say something to you first, if that's alright.

Thank you... thank you for keeping Bella alive when I didn't.

Jacob: No, you didn't.

And it wasn't for your benefit, trust me.

Edward: I'm still grateful, but I'm here now.

I'm not gonna leave her side until she orders me away.

Edward: I have one condition if you want me to do it myself.

Bella: What's the condition?

Edward: And then forever.

Bella: That's what I'm asking.

Edward: Marry me, Bella.
