ERIN BROCKOVICH [2000]

She Brought A Small Town To Its Feet 

And A Huge Corporation To Its Knees 

Are you going to be something else that I have to survive? 

Because... to tell you the truth... I'm not up to it. 

[Erin Brockovich] 

NOT PERSONAL! 

That is my WORK, my SWEAT, and MY TIME AWAY FROM MY KIDS! 

IF THAT IS NOT PERSONAL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS!  

[Erin Brockovich] 

Look, I don't know shit about shit but I know right from wrong! 

[Erin Brockovich] 

Annabelle Daniels: 714-454-9346. 10 years old, 11 in May. 

Lived on the plume since birth. 

Wanted to be a synchronized swimmer so she spent every minute she could in the PG&E pool. 

She had a tumor in her brain stem detected last November, an operation on Thanksgiving, shrunk it with radiation after that. 

Her parents are Ted & Rita. 

Ted's got Crohn's disease, Rita has chronic headaches, and nausea, and underwent a hysterectomy last fall. 

Ted grew up in Hinkley. 

His brother Robbie, and his wife May and their five children: Robbie Jr, Martha, Ed, Rose & Peter 'also' lived on the plume. 

Their number is 454-9554. 

You want their diseases? 

[Erin Brockovich] 

[Erin Brockovich]: Isn't it funny how some people go out of their way to help others, when others just fire them? 

[Ed Masry]: Look, I'm sorry but you were gone for a week. 

I assumed you were off having fun. 

[Erin Brockovich]: Oh, and why the hell would you assume that? 

[Ed Masry]: I don't know. You look like someone who likes to have fun. 

[Erin Brockovich]: Oh, so by that standard I should assume that you never get laid. 

[Ed Masry]: I'm married! [after a pause] Look. What is this all about? 

[Erin Brockovich]: Do you want to know? 

Then you'll have to hire me back. 

I've got a ton of bills to pay. 

 [Ed Masry]: Fine! Fine! 

[Ed Masry]: In a law firm you may want to re-think your wardrobe a little. 

[Erin Brockovich]: Well as long as I have one ass instead of two I'll wear what I like if that's all right with you. 

You might want to re-think those ties. 

[Ms. Sanchez at the meeting with the PG & E lawyers]: Let's be honest here. 

$20 million dollars is more money than these people have ever dreamed of. 

 [Erin Brockovich]: Oh see, now that pisses me off. 

First of all, since the demur we have more than 400 plaintiffs and... let's be honest, we all know there are more out there. 

They may not be the most sophisticated people but they do know how to divide and $20 million isn't 'shit' when you split it between them. 

Second of all, these people don't dream about being rich. 

They dream about being able to watch their kids swim in a pool without worrying that they'll have to have a hysterectomy at the age of 'twenty'. 

Like Rosa Diaz, a client of ours. 

Or have their spine deteriorate, like Stan Blume, 'another' client of ours. 

So before you come back here with another lame ass offer, I want you to think real hard about what your spine is worth, Mr. Walker. 

Or what you might expect someone to pay you for your uterus, Ms. Sanchez. 

Then you take out your calculator and you multiply that number by a hundred. 

Anything less than that is a waste of our time. 

 [Ms. Sanchez picks up a glass of water] 

[Erin Brockovich]: By the way, we had that water brought in specially for you folks. 

Came from a well in Hinkley. 

[Ms. Sanchez put down the glass, without drinking]: I think this meeting is over. 

[Ed Masry]: Damn right this is 

[Donna Jensen]: You're a lawyer? 

[Erin Brockovich]: NO, no... I hate lawyers. I only work for them. 

[George]: How many numbers you got? 

[Erin Brockovich]: Oh, I got numbers comin' outta my ears. For instance: ten. 

[George]: Ten? 

[Erin Brockovich]: Yeah. That's how many months old my baby girl is. 

[George]: You got a little girl? 

[Erin Brockovich]: Yeah. Yeah, sexy, huh? 

How 'bout this for a number? 

Six. That's how old my other daughter is, eight is the age of my son, 

two is how many times I've been married - and divorced; 

sixteen is the number of dollars I have in my bank account. 

850-3943. That's my phone number, 

and with all the numbers I gave you, I'm guessing zero is the number of times you're gonna call it.

CHARLIE'S ANGELS [2000]

Get Some Action

Once upon a time there were three very different little girls who grew up to be three very different women with three things in common: they're brilliant, they're beautiful, and they work for me. 

My name is Charlie. 

[Charlie]

Never send a man to do a woman's job.  

[Vivian Wood]

You're a woman, you've got female intuition, 'and' you're a detective... 

and you didn't know this was going to happen?

[Eric Knox]

I said, 'Look, lady, it's not the seats that have gotten smaller, 

it's your ass that has gotten bigger.'

[Flight Attendant]

TRAFFIC [2000]

No One Gets Away Clean

[Ray Castro]: Why are hurricanes named after women? 

[Montel Gordon]: I don't know. 

[Ray Castro]: Because when they arrive, they're wet and wild, 
and when they leave they take your house and your car.

REMEMBER THE TITANS [2000]

History Is Written By The Winners

I don't scratch my head unless it itches and I don't dance unless I hear some music. 

I will not be intimidated. 

That's just the way it is. 

[Coach Boones]

We will be perfect in every aspect of the game. 

You drop a pass, you run a mile. 

You miss a blocking assignment, you run a mile. 

You fumble the football, and I will break my foot off in your John Brown hind parts and then you will run a mile. 

Perfection. 

Let's go to work. 

[Coach Boone]

This is where they fought the battle of Gettysburg. 

Fifty thousand men died right here on this field, fighting the same fight that we are still fighting among ourselves today. 

This green field right here, painted red, bubblin' with the blood of young boys. 

Smoke and hot lead pouring right through their bodies. 

Listen to their souls, men. 

I killed my brother with malice in my heart. 

Hatred destroyed my family. 

You listen, and you take a lesson from the dead. 

If we don't come together right now on this hallowed ground, we too will be destroyed, just like they were. 

I don't care if you like each other or not, but you will respect each other. 

And maybe... I don't know, maybe we'll learn to play this game like men. 

[Coach Boone] 

Tonight we've got Hayfield. 

Like all the other schools in this conference, they're all white. 

They don't have to worry about race. We do. 

Let me tell you something: you don't let anyone come between us. 

Nothing tears us apart. 

In Greek mythology, the Titans were greater even than the gods. 

They ruled their universe with absolute power. 

Well that football field out there, that's our universe. 

Let's rule it like titans. 

[Coach Boone]

You look like a bunch of fifth grade sissies after a cat fight! 

You got anger, that's good you're gonna need it, 

you got aggression that's even better you're gonna need that, too. 

But any little two year old child can throw a fit! 

Football is about controlling that anger, harnessing that aggression into a team effort to achieve perfection!

[Coach Boone]

I'm a winner. I'm going to win. 

[Coach Boone]

Sometimes life is hard for no reason at all. 

[Carol Boone]

People say that it can't work, black and white. 

Here, we make it work every day. 

We still have our disagreements, of course, but before we reach for hate, always, always, we remember the Titans.

THE PATRIOT [2000]

Before They Were Soldiers, They Were Family

Before They Were Legends, They Were Heroes

before there was a nation, there was a fight for freedom

I have long feared that my sins would return to visit me, 

and the cost is more than I can bear. 

[Benjamin Martin]

Aim small, miss small.

[Benjamin Martin]

I'm a parent. I haven't got the luxury of principles.

[Benjamin Martin] 

A shepherd must tend his flock. And at times... fight off the wolves. 

[Reverend Oliver]

[Benjamin Martin]: When you have a family of your own, perhaps you'll understand. 

[Gabriel Edward Martin]: When I have a family of my own, I won't hide behind them. 

[Occam]: Gabriel said if we won the war, we could build a whole new world. 

Just figured we'd get started right here with your home. 

[Benjamin Martin]: Sounds good. Thank you.
