AVP: ALIEN vs PREDATOR [2004]

It's Our Planet.... It's Their War


 Mr. Weyland: Seven days ago, one of my satellites over Antarctica hunting for mineral deposits discovered a sudden heat bloom beneath the earth, which outlined this.
The red lines indicate solid walls.
Through thermal mapping, we've generated a 3 dimensional image of the structure.
It's massive, containing hundreds of rooms, all built around a central core.
My experts tell me it's a pyramid.
What they can't agree on is who built it and when.
One experts tells me this has features reminiscent of the Aztecs.
Another tells me it's probably Cambodian.
What they all agree on is that the smooth side is definitively Egyptian.
Sebastian: I think your experts are right.
Mr. Weyland: Which one?
Sebastian: All of them.
Alexa: Meaning what, exactly?
Sebastian: This pyramid contains the features of all 3 cultures.
This might be the first pyramid ever built.
Miller: But built by whom?
Sebastian: By the first civilization.
Miller: But how could anyone possibly build a pyramid out here?
Thomas: Ancient maps show Antarctica free of ice.
It's likely the continent was once habitable.
Miller: I can't tell you who built it.
But if I could take a sample from it, I can tell you how old it is.
Mr. Weyland: Dr. Miller, I'm offering to put you right next to this thing.
Thomas: What caused the heat bloom?
Mr. Weyland: I don't know.
Alexa: Where exactly on the ice is this?
Mr. Weyland: Bouvetoya Island.
But it's not on the ice. It's 2000ft below it.
Quinn: You're looking at the best drilling team in the world. We'll chew to that depth in 7 days.
Alexa: And add 3 weeks on top of that to train everyone here.
Mr. Weyland: We don't have that kind of time, Ms. Woods.
I'm not the only one with a satellite over Antarctica. Others will be here soon.
Alexa: Maybe I wasn't clear. No one in this room is ready for this trip.
Mr. Weyland: That's why I asked you here.
Alexa: Boutevoya is one of the world's most isolated places in the world.
The nearest land is 1000 miles away. There's no help if we run into trouble.
Mr. Weyland: You're right, it's a no-man's-land.
But the train has left the station.
And I think I speak for everyone aboard this ship. This is worth the risk.

Alexa: Mr. Weyland, what I told you in there wasn't bullshit.
If you rush this, people will get hurt. Maybe die.
Mr. Weyland: I don't understand. We're not asking you to take us up Everest.
We need you to take us from the ship to the pyramid and back to the ship. That's it.
Alexa: And what about inside the pyramid?
Mr. Weyland: You don't have to worry about that.
Once we're on the site, we have the best technology and experts that money can buy.
Alexa: Mr. Weyland, when  I lead my team, I don't ever leave my team.
Mr. Weyland: I admire your passion. I wish you were going with us.
Alexa: You're making a mistake.

Miller: I wish you'd reconsider coming with us, Lex.
Alexa: Want my advice? Stay on the boat.
Sebastian: Let me ask you something.
Do we stand a better chance of surviving with you or with the number 2 choice?

It is my job to keep you alive on this expedition, and I need your help to do that.
Since I don't have time to properly train you, I'm laying down 3 simple rules.
One, no one goes anywhere alone. Ever.
Two, everyone must maintain constant communication.
Three, unexpected things are gonna happen. When they do, no one tries to be a hero.
Understood?
~AlexaWoods

Alexa: 7 seasons on the ice and I've never seen a gun save someone's life.
Rousseau: I don't plan on using it.
Alexa: Then why bring it?
Rousseau: Same principle as a condom.
I'd rather have one and not need it, than need it and not have one.

Alexa: My dad broke his leg 700ft from the summit of Mount Rainier.
He was like you. He wouldn't go back or let us stop.
We reached the top, and he opened a bottle of champagne.
I had my first drink with my dad at 14,400ft.
On the way down, he developed a blood clot in his leg that travelled to his lung.
He suffered for 4 hours before dying 20 minutes from the base.
Mr. Weyland: You think that's the last thing your dad remembers? The pain?
Or drinking champagne with his daughter 14,000ft in the air?

Only The Chosen One May Enter

Those that were chosen would lie here.
They weren't bound or tied in any way.
They went to die willingly.
Men and women.
It was considered an honor.
~Sebastian de Rosa

Alexa: We've been out long enough for today. 
We're gonna set up base camp at the whaling station and get back at it tomorrow morning.
Stafford: You can go back to the base camp, Ms. Woods, but we're staying here.
Alexa: No.
You wanted to leave without proper prep, we did.
You wanted to be the first here, we are.
You claimed the find, it's yours.
Now, we move as a team, and we're done for the day.

He's marking himself.
Ancient warriors would mark themselves with the blood of their kill.
It's a rite of passage.
~Sebastian de Rosa

Sebastian: This is a mental ritual.
The humans had once, they have been sent here to prove their worthy, to become adults.
Alexa: You're saying they are, what, teenagers?
Sebastian: That's why they didn't carry those guns with them. They have to earn them.

Sebastian: Thousands of years ago, these hunters found a backwater planet.
They taught humans how to build and were worshipped as gods.
Every hundred years the gods would return.
And when they did, they would expect a sacrifice.
Humans were used to breed the ultimate prey.
The hunters would battle with these great serpents, to prove themselves worthy to carry the mark.
But if the hunters lost, they made sure nothing survived.
An entire civilization wiped out overnight.
Alexa: So, the humanoids, the hunters... they brought those creatures here to hunt?
Sebastian: And they use us like cattle.
We're hosts for them to breed in.
The heat bloom was the sign to lure us down here. This whole thing was a trap.
Without us, there could be no hunt.


Sebastian: When that door opens, we're dead.
Alexa: Not if we set things right.
Sebastian: What do you mean?
Alexa: This pyramid is like a prison.

We took the guards' guns, and now the prisoners are running free.
To restore order, the guards need their guns.
When that door opens, we're gonna give that things his gun back.
Sebastian: Are you crazy?
During a big-game hunt, the animals being hunted don't arm the hunters.
Alexa: They're not hunting us.
We're in the middle of a war.
It's time to pick a side.
Sebastian: We are on our side.
Alexa: We have to consider the possibility that we might not make it out of here.
But we have to make sure, those serpents don't reach the surface.
Because if they do, everything everywhere could die.
Sebastian: The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

GARFIELD [2004]

It Ain't The Cat In The Hat
I hate Mondays.
[Garfield]

So much time, and so little... I need to do.
[Garfield]

I can do this. 
Beyond this intersection is just another intersection, and another, and another. 
On the other hand, I wonder if there's any meatloaf left in the fridge. 
No, now is not the time for a plate of meatloaf. 
Now is the time for a plate of courage. 
Ladies and gentlemen, Garfield has left the cul-de-sac!  
[Garfield]


Let me tell you something, Happy. 
To you, Odie might be just a dumb, stupid, smelly dog. 
But to me, he's all that and much more. 
He's my friend.
[Garfield]

OK, here's the drill. 
Cats, scratch like you never scratched before. 
Dogs, bite but don't chew, and rats, see if you can get that pretty necklace around his neck. 
Canines, felines, and 'vermines', it's showtime! 
[Garfield]

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.

There are unconfirmed reports that several military personnel...
The following locations are still listed on The Milwaukee Emergency Safe Haven list.
~Radio Announcement

Is it a virus? || We don't know.
How does it spread? Airborne? || Airborne is a possibility. We don't know.
Is this an international health hazard or a military concern? || Both.
Are these people alive or dead? || We don't know.

Michael: You don't want to go that way.
Anna: What's that way?
Michael: It's pretty bad.
Kenneth: What about Fort Pastor?
Andre: If you had wings. The road's thick with those motherfuckers.
Kenneth: How do you know?
Michael: We just tried. Back when there was 8 of us.
We're going to the mall.

Reporter: How do you kill these things?
Sheriff Cahill: Just shoot them in the head.
They go down permanently when you shoot them in the head.
Then you gotta burn them.

 
Andre: I hear you talking a lot, you're always saying something,
who the fuck are you that we should listen?
Were you like in the marines? What the fuck do you do?
Michael: I sell televisions at Best Buy.
Andre, to Kenneth: Hey, Officer, how do you like following a guy that sells TVs?
Kenneth: About as much as I like following a guy who steals them.
I'm not following anyone.

Hell is overflowing and Satan is sending his dead to us.
Why?
Because you have sex out of wedlock, you kill unborn children,
you have man-on-man relations, same sex marriage.
How do you think your God will judge you?
Well, friends, now we know.
When there is no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth.


Michael: The truck won't make it to Fort Pastor.
Steve: Forget it. That place is fucked. Bloodbath city.
Kenneth: How do you know?
Norma: We just came from there.
Kenneth: Is everyone there dead?
Steve: Dead-ish.
Kenneth: Is everyone there dead?
Steve: Yeah, in the sense that they all sort of fell down and then got up, started eating each other.


Ana: The bites killed her. The bites brought her back.
Andre: How do you know?
Ana: I watched it happen. I felt her pulse, she was gone. Then...
Yesterday I saw the same thing.
I think that's why it spread so fast.


Ana: We have to quarantine him.
Kenneth: Where do we do that?
Ana: I don't know, there must be some place here.
Michael: Then what?
Ana: I don't know, but...
Michael: It's too dangerous for us to keep him here.
Ana: I'm sorry, what are we talking about? Are we talking about killing him?
Michael: You'd rather wait for him to die and then he kills us?
Ana: You can't kill him. He's got a daughter!
Michael: I'm sorry. There's no other choice.

Steve: Let me tell you something.
You have my permission... If I ever turn into one of those things, blow my fucking head off.
Ana: O, yeah, you can count on that.

Excuse me.
Not to shit on anyone's riff but let me see if I grasp this concept.
You're saying we take the parking shuttles, reinforce them with aluminum siding
and then head to the gun store where our friend Andy plays some cowboy-movie,
jump-on-the-wagon bullshit.
Then we drive across a ruined city through thousands of dead cannibals,
all so we can sail off into the sunset on this fucking asshole's boat? 
And head for some island which may not even exist?
I'm in.

THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT [2004]

Change One Thing, Change Everything



If anyone finds this, it means my plan didn't work and I'm already dead.
But if I can somehow go back to the beginning of all of this,
I might be able to save her.
~Evan Treborne

Mrs. Treborne: Just tell me he hasn't inherited his father's illness.
Dr. Redfield: I'm sure the test results will come back negative.
But there's something else you can do to monitor his memory.
Mrs. Treborne: Anything.
Dr. Redfield: A journal. Just have him write down everything that he does.
Mrs. Treborne: And what will that do?
Dr. Redfield: It could help jog his memory.
See if he remembers anything new the next day.

 Today mommy is taking me to play with Kayleigh and Tommy.
I will meet their father and see what a real dad is like.

[see Evan with knife in his hand]
Mrs. Treborne: Evan, what are you doing with that knife?
Evan, gasp and drop down the knife: What happened?
Mrs. Treborne: Honey, what are you doing with that knife?
Evan: I don't remember.

Dr. Redfield: The good news is the results are negative.
I found no evidence of lesions, hemorrhaging, tumors.
Mrs. Treborne: But you must have something you can go on.
Dr. Redfield: If I was to guess, I'd say the blackouts are stress related.
Mrs. Treborne: But he's 7 years old.
What kind of stress can a 7-year-old have?
Dr. Redfield: Plenty. Maybe he has severe coping problems about not having a father.
You said the last time the blackouts occurred, he was visiting his friend's dad.
Mrs. Treborne: Well, he has been pushing me to meet his father and I've been putting it off.
Dr. Redfield: It's worth a shot, Andrea.
We can arrange a controlled meeting.
A careful dose of sedatives for Jason, some security, Evan comes in for a quick visit,
and with a little luck, no more missing father complex.

Today I get to meet my father.
His name is Jason and he's crazy.
I hope he lets me call him dad.

Dr. Redfield: I want you to take me to the time when you are in the woods with Lenny.
Think of it like a movie.
You can pause, rewind or slow down any details you wish. Understand?
Evan: Yes.
Dr. Redfield: Where are you now?
Evan: I'm standing next to Kelly, my hands are over her ears.
Dr. Redfield: Are you hurting her?
Evan: No, I'm protecting her.
Dr. Redfield: Okay, let's move forward in time. What do you see?
Evan: I see a car.
Dr. Redfield: Yes, Evan, tell me about the car.
Go on, nothing can hurt you.
Remember, it's only a movie.
Evan, anxious in his hypnotherapy: I can't.
The car vanishes, all of a sudden I'm on the ground in the woods.
Dr. Redfield: The car isn't vanished, Evan. The movie in your head is broken, that's all.
Tell me about the car.
Evan: I can't!
It's coming...
Dr. Redfield: Hurry, Evan, hurry! It's coming.
[Evan's nose start bleeding]
On the count of 10, you're going to wake up, feeling your flesh and everything you talked about.
Mrs. Treborne: Make it stop!
Dr. Redfield: One, you're feeling awake.
Two, you're eyes are not feeling as heavy.
Five, six, come on Evan, wake up! Nine, ten.
Evan awake: What happened? Did it work?

[Kayleigh winced when Evan hold her arm]
Kayleigh: It's Kagan called Dad and blamed us what happened to Lenny.
Evan: Your Dad did that?
Kayleigh: I deserve a lot worst.
Evan: What are you talking about?
What you deserve is a better father and brother.
What they do is make you feel like shit.
You have no clue as to how beautiful you are, do you?


That psychoon project actually study how memory lost.
Like to figure out how the memory in the simple worm functions
to help me understand the complexity of the human brain.
~Evan Treborne

Listen to me, Evan, you listen to me good.
There is a million other sisters in the world why do you have to fuck with mine?
~Tommy

Thumper: I think twice about what you are doing.
You could wake up a lot more fuck up than you are now.
Evan: I'm fuck up than I already am.
You think you know me? I don't know me!


Evan: I just want to talk to you about just one particular.
Kayleigh: I try to remember.
Evan: When we were kids, your Dad was making a movie, about Robin Hood or something...
Kayleigh: What do you want to know, Evan?
Evan: Did he... What happened at the basement?
Kayleigh: Look, it was a long time ago.
Evan: I know.
Kayleigh: Is that why you came all the way back here?
To ask about lots of stupid questions about Robin Hood?
Evan: No. I just think that something really bad might happen.
Kayleigh: Was there a point in any of this?
Evan: Look, whatever that happened wasn't your fault.
We were kids and there is nothing we can do to deserve what he has done.
Kayleigh: Just shut up, Evan! You're wasting your breath!
Evan: You can't hate yourself because your Dad is a twisted freak.
Kayleigh: Who are you trying to convince, Evan?
You come all the way back here to stir my shit just because you have a bad memory?
What do you want me to just cry on your shoulder and tell everything is all better now?
Well fuck you, Evan!
Nothing is all better, okay?! Nothing ever gets better!
If I were so wonderful, Evan, why don't you call me?
Why did you leave me here to rot?

If the scar on my stomach didn't come out of nowhere,
maybe my father wasn't as crazy as I thought.
If I can make scars, do I have the power to heal them?
What about Kelly's scars? 
~Evan


Evan: Puts your hand on your ears, Kelly.
[Kelly do as he said]
Evan, to George: What time is it?
George: It's time for you to do what I tell you to do.
Evan: Wrong answer, fuckbag!
This is the very moment of your reckoning.
In the next 20 seconds you're gonna open up one of 2 doors.
The first door, you forever traumatized your own flesh and blood.
George: What's happening? How are you doing this?
Evan: It will change your daughter from a beautiful child into an empty shell.
Was her only trust was being betrayed by her own sick pedophile father.
Ultimately, it will lead her to suicide.
Nice work, Daddy.
George: Who are you?
Evan: Let's just say you are being closely watched, George.
Your other option is to treat Kelly like, say a loving father treats her daughter.
So is that okay with you, papa?
George: Yes...
Evan: Listen close you, fuckbag.
You screw this up again, I swear I'll castrate you.
What you need to do, is to discipline your son Tommy cause the kid is one sadistic pop.
One last thing...
[whisper something to Kayleigh]
Kayleigh, to his Dad: Don't ever touch me again.
George: No, I won't.

Kayleigh: Evan, don't even joke! He's not gonna hurt you, okay?!
He's just trying to scare you away from me.
Evan: He killed my dog! Don't you remember that?
Kayleigh: Evan, it's not his fault.
You know how bad he had it when we were kids.
Evan: Oh, no. Don't give me this bad up-bringing shit. You turned out just fine.
Kayleigh: My father never laid a hand on me.
It was like he saved it all for Tommy.

Dr. Redfield: This is a little complicated.
I haven't seen results like this before.
Evan: Not even with my father?
Dr. Redfield: Well actually they had these tests 20 years ago.
Mrs. Treborne: So what did you find?
Dr. Redfield: We're finding most of the hemorrhage is coming from here
where most of the outer layer... Cerebral cortex.
Evan: That's where the memory is stored, Mom.
Mrs. Treborne: Thank you, Evan.
Dr. Redfield: I've never seen anything like it.
We compared these with the one taken last year we found severe hemorrhage and massive reconstruction.
Mrs. Trebone: And what does that mean for Evan?
Evan: What he said, Mom, is I jammed 40 years of memories in my head in the last year.
So overload my circuit and I completely reprogram my brain.
That's about it, right, Doc?

Lenny: You knew the whole time, didn't you?
When you put that shard in my hand, you knew something big is gonna happen, did you?
Evan: Ya, I knew it.
Lenny: And you should be where I am. You should be where I am.

Evan: Look, Jason, I need some fast information if I am going to fix what I have done.
Mr. Treborne: I was praying this craze would end with me.
Evan: Ya, but you did it.
So now I need some information to make things right again.
You're the only one that can give it to me.
Mr. Treborne: There is no right!
You can't change what people are without destroying who they were.
Evan: Who says you can't make things better?
Mr. Treborne: You can't play God, son. It must end with me.
Just by being you, you might be killing you and your mother.
Evan: That's bullshit, you know!
I'll send you a postcard when I made everything perfect again.


Kayleigh: Why you're off to change everyone's life again, is that it?
Maybe next time you'll pop up in some mansion while I end up in Tijuana doing some donkey act.
Evan: I'm over it.
Every time I tried to help someone, everything's just goes to shit.
Kayleigh: Don't give up now, slick.
Hell, you've already done so much for me.
Why don't you go back in time and save Mrs. Harpen and her baby?
And then maybe, Lenny wouldn't freak out and ruin my family.
No, go back to when I'm 7 and fuck me for my Daddy's video camera, straighten me out a bit.


Evan: My journals. I need them. Give them to me. It'll help a lot.
Dr. Redfield: Really hurts me to go through this again.
There are no journals. There never were.
It's part of the fantasy world that your mind created to cope with the guilt for killing Kayleigh Miller.
Think, Evan, think. You created disease that does not exist.
Alternating universe with colleges and prison and...
Evan: I want my journals! And I want them now!
I know that you got them and you got to give them to me!
You're not gonna lie to me! I want them!
Dr. Redfield: You remind me of your father.
He was always screaming for photo album, even though he doesn't have one.
I'm so sorry.

I hate you.
If you ever come near me again, I'll kill you and your whole damned family.
~Evan, to Kayleigh, at the first moment they met
