CRUEL INTENTIONS [1999]

What You Can't Have, You Can't Resist


Mrs. Caldwell: How do you do it?
Where do you get the strength?

Kathryn: I know this sounds corny, but whenever I feel the temptation of peer pressure

[show off her cross pendant]

I turn to God and he helps me through the problem.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

~Kathryn Merteuil

Everybody loves me and I intend to keep it that way.

~Kathryn Merteuil

Kathryn: About that little wager of yours? Count me in.

Sebastian: What are the terms?

Kathryn: If I win, then that hot little car of yours is mine.

Sebastian: And if I win?

Kathryn, open up her coat: I'll give you what you've been obsessing about

ever since our parents got married.

Sebastian: Be more specific.

Kathryn: In English... I'll fuck your brains out.

Sebastian: What makes you think I'd go for that bet?

That's a 1956 Jaguar Roadster.

Kathryn, lying on her bed: Because I'm the only person you can't have, and it kills you.

Sebastian: No way. 

Kathryn: You can put it anywhere.

Sebastian: You got yourself a bet, baby.

[shaking each other hand]

Kathryn: Happy hunting, Sebastian.

Sebastian: Who are you to criticize something you've never been experienced?

Annette: I wasn't criticize anything.

I believe people shouldn't experience the act of love until they're in love.

People our age aren't mature enough to experience those emotions.

Listing my qualities won't get you anywhere with me.

The best you can hope for is my friendship.

You're really walking a fine line at that.

~Annette Hargrove

[on the phone]

Sebastian: Did I leave my glasses there?

Annette: No, I don't think so.

Sebastian: All right.

I guess I'll see you around.

Annette: Is that really why you're calling me?

Sebastian: No. I called you because I missed talking to you.

Annette: A moment of honesty.

Sebastian: Don't get used to it.

I'm not liking it too much.

Kathryn: Now that you're on your way, it would be stupid to stop.

Think of Sebastian as a tutor. Let him instruct you.

Cecile: But I don't love him. I love Ronald.

Kathryn: So? Don't you wanna make Ronald happy?

Practice makes perfect.

My advice is to sleep with as many people as possible.

Cecile: But that would make me a slut. Wouldn't it?

Kathryn: Cecile, everybody does it.

It's just that nobody talks about it.

I don't know what to do.

I can't stand that 'holier than thou' bullshit, yet I'm completely infatuated with ther.

She made me laugh.

~Sebastian Valmont

Sebastian, after kissing her: I'm sorry about that.

Annette: Me too.

Sebastian: You know what? I'm not sorry.

I don't take it back.

Annette: I thought we were just gonna be friends.

Sebastian: I can't handle it. I can't keep my feelings bottled up like you.

Can you honestly tell me that you feel nothing for me?

Annette: Yeah, I have feelings for you, Sebastian.

Sebastian: Then what's wrong?

It's not like you have a husband, unless you're married to Jesus.

Annette: That's not fair!

Sebastian: Why can't we be together?

Annette: You really wanna know why?

Sebastian: Yes, I wanna know why.

Annette: It's because I don't trust myself with you.

Annette: I'm impressed.

Sebastian: Well, I'm in love.

My triumph isn't over her. It's over you.

You were very much in love with her, and you're still in love with her.

But it amused me to make you ashamed of it.

You gave up on the first person you ever loved because I threatened your reputation.

Don't you get it?

You're just a toy, Sebastian, a little toy I like to play with.

And now you're completely blown it with her.

I think it's the saddest thing I've ever heard.

Cheers.

~Kathryn Merteuil

HELLBOY [2004]

From The Dark Side To Our Side

[Grigori Rasputin]: He disclosed to me the child's true name. 

Would you like to know it? 

[Prof. Trevor 'Broom' Bruttenholm]: I already know what to call him. 

I call him SON.

Didn't I kill you already?  

[Hellboy]

What is it that makes a man a man? 

Is it his origins, the way things start. 

Or is it something else, something harder to describe? 

For me it all began in 1944, classified mission off the coast of Scotland. 

The Nazis were desperate. 

Combining science and black magic they intended to upset the balance of the war. 

I was 28, already a paranormal advisor to President Roosevelt. 

I could never have suspected that what would transpire that night 

would not only effect the course of history but change my life forever.  

[Prof. Trevor 'Broom' Bruttenholm]

In the absence of light, darkness prevails. 

There are things that go bump in the night, Agent Myers. 

Make no mistake about that. 

And we are the ones who bump back.  

[Prof. Trevor 'Broom' Bruttenholm]

My uncle used to say that we like people for their qualities 

but we love them for their defects. 

[John Myers] 

If there's trouble, all us freaks have is each other.

[Abe Sapien]

Yeah, well, your guest happens to be six-foot five, bright red, has a tail, 

and is government funded. 

[Tom Manning]

[Prof. Trevor 'Broom' Bruttenholm]: 1937, Hitler joins the Thule Society, 

a group of German aristocrats obsessed with the occult. 

In 1938, he acquired the spear of Longinus, which pierced the side of Christ. 

He who holds it becomes invincible. 

Hitler's power increases tenfold. 

1943, President Roosevelt decides to fight back. 

The Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense is born. 

1958, the Occult Wars finally come to an end with the death of Adolf Hitler. 

[John Myers]: 1945, you mean. Hitler died in '45. 

[Prof. Trevor 'Broom' Bruttenholm]: Did he now? 

[John Myers]: Hey, no one goes with him? Jesus. 

[Abe Sapien]: No. He likes it that way. The whole 'lonely hero' thing. 

[John Myers]: He doesn't want me with him. I know that much. 

He respects Clay, not me. 

[Prof. Trevor 'Broom' Bruttenholm]: You're doing fine.

[John Myers]: No, I'm not. Look, I'm really sorry, but I'm not your guy. 

[Prof. Trevor 'Broom' Bruttenholm]: I'm dying, Agent Myers. 

Like any father, I worry about him. 

In medieval stories, there is often a young knight who is inexperienced, but pure of heart.

[John Myers]: Oh, come on. I am not pure of heart.

[Abe Sapien]: Yes, you are. 

[Prof. Trevor 'Broom' Bruttenholm]: Rasputin is back for him. 

What I'm asking of you is to have the courage to stand by him when I am gone. 

He was born a demon; we can't change that. 

But you will help him, in essence, to become a man.
