I AM LEGEND [2007]

The Last Man on Earth is not Alone

 

This is Ground Zero. 

This is my site. 

I can fix. 

I can fix this. 

[Neville]

He had this idea. 

It was kind of a virologist idea. 

He believed that you could cure racism and hate...

 literally cure it, by injecting music and love into people's lives. 

When he was scheduled to perform at a peace rally, 

a gunman came to his house and shot him down. 

Two days later he walked out on that stage and sang. 

When they asked him why - He said, 

"The people, who were trying to make this world worse... are not taking a day off. 

How can I? 

Light up the darkness."

[Neville, about Bob Marley]

[Anna]: The world is quieter now. 

We just have to listen. 

If we listen, we can hear God's plan. 

[Neville]: God's plan. 

All right, let me tell you about your "God's plan". 

Seven billion people on Earth when the infection hit. 

KV had a ninety-percent kill rate, that's five point four billion people dead. 

Crashed and bled out. Dead. 

Less than one-percent immunity. 

That left twelve million healthy people, like you, me, and Ethan. 

The other five hundred and eighty-eight million turned into your dark seekers, 

and then they got hungry and they killed and fed on everybody. 

Everybody! 

Every SINGLE person that you or I has ever known is dead! 

Dead! 

There is no god! 

In 2009, a deadly virus burned through our civilization, 

pushing humankind to the edge of extinction. 

Dr. Robert Neville dedicated his life to the discovery of a cure and the restoration of humanity. 

On September 9th, 2012, at approximately 8:49 P.M., he discovered that cure. 

And at 8:52, he gave his life to defend it. 

We are his legacy. 

This is his legend. 

Light up the darkness.

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS [2006]

Inspires by a True Story

I remember thinking, how did he know to put the 'pursuit' part in there?

 That maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue.

 And maybe we can actually never have it no matter what.

~Chris Gardner

 I'm the type of person, if you ask me a question, and I don't know the answer,

I'm gonna tell you that I don't know.

 But I bet you what, I know how to find the answer.

And I will find the answer.

~Chris Gardner

Don't ever let somebody tell you, you can't do something.

Not even me.

You got a dream, you gotta protect it.

People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it.

If you want something, go get it.

Period.

~Chris Gardner

One day, a man was drowning in the water.

And a boat came by and said, "Do you need any help?"

He said, "No, thank you. God will save me."

Then another boat came by, said, "Do you need any help?"

And he said, "No, thank you. God will save me."

Then he drowned and he went to heaven.

And he said, "God, why didn't You saved me?"

And God said, "I sent you 2 big boats, you dummy."

~Christopher

Christopher: Did Mom leave because of me?

Chris: Don't even think something like that.

Mom left because of Mom.

And you didn't have anything to do with that, okay?

Christopher: Okay.

You're a good papa.

HITCH [2005]

The Cure For The Common Man

Basic principles: no woman wakes up saying, 

'God, I hope I don't get swept off my feet today!' 

Now, she might say, 'This is a really bad time for me,' 

or something like, 'I just need some space,' 

or my personal favorite, 'I'm really into my career right now.' 

You believe that? 

 Neither does she. 

You know why? 

Because she's lying to you, that's why. 

You understand me? 

Lying! 

It's not a bad time for her. 

She doesn't need any space. 

And she may be into her career, but what she's really saying is, 

'Uh, get away from me now,' or possibly, 'Try harder, stupid.' 

But which one is it? 

Sixty percent of all human communication is nonverbal, body language; 

thirty percent is your tone. 

So that means that ninety percent of what you're saying ain't coming out of your mouth. 

Of course she's going to lie to you! 

She's a nice person. 

She doesn't want to hurt your feelings. 

What else she going to say? 

She doesn't even know you... yet. 

Luckily, the fact is that just like the rest of us, 

even a beautiful woman doesn't know what she wants until she sees it, 

and that's where I come in. 

My job is to open her eyes. 

Basic principles: no matter what, no matter when, no matter who... 

any man has a chance to sweep any woman off her feet. 

He just needs the right broom.

[Hitch]

 Like I always tell my clients - begin each day as if it were on purpose.

[Hitch]

So how does it happen, great love? 

Nobody knows... but what I can tell you is that it happens in the blink of an eye. 

One moment you're enjoying your life, 

and the next you're wondering how you ever lived without them.

[Hitch]

Relationships are for people who are just waiting for something better to come along. 

[Sara]

Hey, if he's stupid enough to cheat, 

then the world should know he's dumb enough to get caught.

[Sara]

You know what it's like getting up every morning feeling hopeless, 

feeling like the love of your life is waking up with the wrong man? 

But, at the same time, hoping that she still finds happiness, 

even if it's never going to be with you?

[Albert]

There is more to life than to watch other people live it. 

[Max]

[Hitch]: Heard of Michelangelo? Heard of the Sistine Chapel?

[Albert]: Yeah? 

[Hitch, points at himself]: Michaelangelo, [points at Albert] Sistine Chapel.

[Albert]: So you're saying you can make this work?

[Hitch]: My name is Alex Hitchens. Let's go paint that ceiling.

[Sara]: So, you kinda like me, huh?

[Hitch]: No. I love you.

BAD BOYS II [2003]

Now 'that's' how you supposed to shoot! 

From now on, that's how you shoot! 

Oh man, I want my next partner to shoot like that. 

WOOOOO... it takes a dysfunctional motherfucker to bust somebody in the head like that. 

That's some dysfunctional shit! 

My next partner's gonna invite me to his barbeques and shit, though.

[Mike Lowery]

Hey, you'd know what would be fuckin' helpful, Marcus? 

Just shut the fuck up and let me drive, let's try that!

[Mike Lowery]

[Marcus Burnett]: Who the FUCK are you?

[Reggie]: I'm Reggie, Mr. Burnett.

[Marcus Burnett]: How old are you?

[Reggie]: I'm fifteen, Mr. Burnett.

[Marcus Burnett]: Motherfucker, you look thirty.

[Marcus Burnett]: To the DEA you're nothing but a honeypot.

[Syd]: What did you say?

[Marcus Burnett]: It's no wonder you got the job because you look good in a bathing suit.

[Marcus Burnett]: Is this still plan B?

[Mike Lowery]: Naw, this is definitely plan C!

MEN IN BLACK II [2002]

Back In Black 

Education. 

I really want to learn how to be an underwear model. 

They say I've got real potential.

[Serleena]

When we're kids, before we're taught how to think or what to believe, 

 our hearts tell us there is something else out there. 

I know what I saw. 

You tell me what I'm supposed to believe. 

[Laura]

K is back! 

The keeper of the light! 

All hail K! All hail K! 

Oh K can you see by the dawn's early light... 

[Grand Central Station Locker Creatures]

[Agent J]: You don't remember me, but we used to work together... 

[Kevin Brown/K]: I never worked in a funeral home.

[Agent J, after K shoots Jeebs in the head]: You're back. 

[K]: No.

[Agent J]: Then how did you know that his head would grow back? 

[K, surprised]: It grows back?

[Agent K]: When you get sad it always seems to rain. 

[Laura]: Lots of people get sad when it rains!

[Agent K]: It rains because you're sad baby.

INDEPENDENCE DAY [1996]

The Day We'll Fight Back!

[Julius Levinson]: Hey don't you tell him to shut up! 

You'd all be dead now if it weren't for my David! 

None of you did anything to prevent this! 

[General Gray]: There was nothing we could do!

[Julius Levinson]: Oh don't give me that! You knew about this for a long time! 

What with that spaceship you found in New Mexico! 

What was it called... Roswell, New Mexico! 

And that other place... uh... Area 51, Area 51! 

You knew then! And you did nothing!

[President Thomas Whitmore]: Mr. Levinson, you're mistaken. 

There is no Area 51. There is no spaceship

[Albert Nimzicki]: Uh... Mr. President. That's not entirely accurate. 

[David Levinson]: What, which part?

[President Thomas Whitmore, at the secret government lab]: I don't understand, where does all this come from? 

How do you get funding for something like this?

[Julius Levinson]: You don't actually think they spend $20,000.00 on a hammer, $30,000.00 on a toilet seat do you? 

All you need is love, John Lennon, smart man, shot in the back very sad.

[Julius Levinson]

And I always thought THESE were gonna kill me.

[David Levinson, pointing at cigar]

[David Levinson, after seeing Julius discard a styrofoam cup]: Hey, you have any idea how long it takes for those cups to decompose?

[Julius Levinson]: If you don't move soon, I'm gonna start to decompose.

THAT'S RIGHT! Thats what you get! Look at you, ship all banged up! 

WHO'S THE MAN? HUH? WHO'S THE MAN? 

Wait until I get another plane! 

I am going to line all your friends RIGHT BESIDE YOU! 

[Captain Steven Hiller] 

Let's kick the tires and light the fires, big daddy! 

[Captain Jimmy Wilder]

I picked a hell of a day to quit drinkin'. 

[Russel Casse] 

If we don't act now, 

we may not have much of an America left to defend.

[Albert Nimzicki]

Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. 

And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. 

"Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. 

We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. 

We will be united in our common interests. 

Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... 

Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. 

We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. 

And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" 

We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!

[President Thomas Whitmore]
