A WALK TO REMEMBER [2002]

Find Out Who You Are 

And Do It On Purpose

 

 Jamie: This is a star frame. It will help you locate stars with your naked eye.
 Mercury and Jupiter can be seen just over the west horizon after sunset.
Dean, passing by: Bet you can see angels up there, flying around.
Jamie: In fact, there are things that could be called miraculous.
Einstein said the more he studied the universe, the more he believed in a higher power.
Dean: If there is a higher power, why can't he get you a new sweater?
Jamie: He's too busy looking for your brain.

Jamie: Please don't pretend like you know me, okay?
Landon: But I do. I do.
We have all the same classes since kindergarten.
Why, you're Jamie Sullivan, you sit at lunch table 7.
It's not the reject table, but it's definitely self-exile territory.
You have exactly one sweater.
You look at your feet when you walk.
And for fun, you tutor on weekends and hang out with the Stars and Planets kids.
How's that sound?
Jamie: Fairly predictable. Nothing I haven't heard before.

Jamie: You don't care about classes, 
but you like school because you're popular and you'll never be on top again.
Landon: That's thoroughly predictable.
Jamie: Your act only works on an audience.

Jamie: 42.
Landon: What do you mean, 42?
Jamie: 42 is befriend somebody I don't like.
It's a to-do list I have for my life.
Landon: Like getting a new personality?
Jamie: Join the Peace Corps, make a medical discovery...
Landon: Ambitious.
Jamie: Be in 2 places at once, get a tattoo.
Landon: What's number 1?
Jamie: I'd tell you but then I'd have to kill you.

Jamie: Landon Carter's asking me for help?
Landon: Yeah.
Jamie: Okay, I'll pray for you. [walk away]
Landon: Jamie, look...
Jamie: You've obviously never asked anybody for help before, right?
A request like yours requires flattery and groveling.
It can't be all about you. It has to be for the common good.
Landon: It is for the common good. Eddie Zimmerhoff deserves the best.
Please?
Jamie: Okay, one condition, though.
Landon: What's that?
Jamie: You have to promise you won't fall in love with me.
Landon, chuckles: That's not a problem.

Landon: I get it.
Jamie: Get what?
Landon: That you're into all this stuff. [point at the telescope]
Jamie: This stuff...
I have my beliefs, I have faith, but don't you?
Landon: No. There's too much bad shit in this world.
Jamie: Without suffering, there's no compassion.
Landon: Tell that to those who suffer.

Landon: I was hoping we could run lines together.
Jamie: Okay, but just not so anybody knows, right?
Landon: I just figured we could surprise everyone with how good I get.
Jamie: Like, we could be secret friends...
Landon: Exactly! It's like you're reading my mind.
Jamie: Great! Maybe you could read mine?
[Jamie going inside her house]
Landon: Jamie, I can't just be your friend.
Jamie: Landon, I thought I saw something in you. Something good.
But I was very wrong.

Landon: Maybe I miss spending time with you. Maybe you inspire me.
Jamie: Sounds like bull.
Landon: Which part?
Jamie: All of it.
Landon: It's not.
Jamie: Prove it!

Jamie: You've no idea how to be a friend.
Landon: I just don't want that.
Jamie: You don't know what you want.
Landon: You're scared someone wants you.
Jamie: Why would that scare me?
Landon: You couldn't hide behind books, or your fricking telescope, or your faith.
[Jamie walks away]
No. You know the real reason why you're scared?
It's because you want to be with me too.

Eric: You got Belinda thinking that little lip action between you and Jamie was kind of real.
[sigh] What's with you, man?
You don't have time for your real friends anymore.
Landon: I don't know, buddy. I'm just over it.
I'm sick and tired of doing the same shit all the time.
Eric: This girl's changed you and you don't even know it.
Landon: Let me guess, Belinda say that too?
Eric: No. I did.

Rev. Sullivan: Boys like that [point at Landon] they have... they have expectations.
The rules around here are not gonna change.
Jamie: Fine.
Rev. Sullivan: You might not care what I say or think, but you should care about God's opinion.
Jamie: I think He wants me to be happy.

I'm sorry I haven't treated Jamie the way I should have.
She deserves more than that.
I'm asking you for the same thing that you teach us everyday in church.
And that's faith.
~Landon Carter

Jamie: How can you see places like this and have moments like this, and not believe?
Landon: You're lucky to be so sure.
Jamie: It's like the wind.
I can't see it, but I feel it.
Landon: What do you feel?
Jamie: I feel wonder and beauty, joy, love...
I mean, it's the center of everything.
Landon: I might kiss you.
Jamie: I might be bad at it.
Landon: That's not possible. [kiss her]
Jamie, I love you.
[Jamie didn't say anything]
Now would be the time to say something.
Jamie: I told you not to fall in love with me.

Landon: So, what's your number one?
Jamie: To marry in the church where my mother grew up.
That's where my parents were married.

Jamie: I'm sick. I have leukemia.
Landon: No. You're 18, you're perfect.
Jamie: I found out 2 years ago.
I've stopped responding to treatments.
Landon: So why didn't you tell me?
Jamie: The doctor said I should go on and live life normally, as best I could.
I didn't want anybody to be weird around me.
Landon: Including me?
Jamie: Especially you!
I was getting along and everything's fine.
I accepted it, and then you happened!
I do not need a reason to be angry with God.

Eric: Talk to me, man.
Landon: About what?
Eric: About you... about Jamie...
Landon: What's there to talk about?
She's the best person I've ever known.

Landon: Are you scared?
Jamie: To death. [cheer him up] Lighten up.
Landon: It's not funny.
Jamie: I'm scared of not being with you.
Landon, hug her: Oh, baby, that will never happen.

Belinda: I guess you're with who you should be.
It's like she chose you.
Landon: Yeah, I don't even know why.
Belinda: I do.

Find out who you are and do it on purpose.

Landon: Do you love me?
Jamie: Mm-hm.
Landon: Will you do something for me then?
Jamie: Anything.
Landon: Will you marry me?

RESIDENT EVIL [2002]

Survive the Horror

At the beginning of the 21st century
The Umbrella corporation had become the largest commercial entity in the United States.
9 out of every 10 homes contain its products.
 Its political and financial influence is felt everywhere.
In public, it is the world's leading supplier of:
computer technology, medical products, and healthcare.
Unknown even to its own employees, its massive profits are generated by:
military technology, genetic experimentation, and viral weaponry.
~Narrator

Alice: I want to know who you people are and I want to know what's going on here.
[One ignores her] Now!
One: You and I have the same employer.
We all work for The Umbrella Corporation.
The mansion above us is an emergency entrance to The Hive.
You are security operatives placed there to protect that entrance.
Alice, show him her wedding ring: What about this?
One: Your marriage is a fake.
Just part of your cover to protect the secrecy of The Hive.
Spence: And what is The Hive?
One, to Kaplan: Show them.
Kaplan: Accesing schematic of The Hive.
One: Racoon City, nearest urban center.
The mansion where we found you, and through which we gained acces to the train,
which, in turn, brought us to The Hive.
The Hive itself is located underground deep beneath the streets of Racoon City.
A top-secret research facility owned and operated by The Umbrella Corporation,
The Hive houses over 500 technicians, scientists and support staff.
They live and work underground.
Their research is of the highest importance.
Its nature is classified.
Our position on the map is indicated by heat signature.

Spence: Why can't I remember anything?
One: The Hive has its own defense mechanisms, all computer-controlled.
A nerve gas was released into the house.
Primary effect of the gas, complete unconsciousness lasting anything up to 4 hours.
Secondary effects are varied, but can include acute memory loss.
Spence: For how long?
One: Subjective.
An hour, day, week...
Matt: So you're saying this place was attacked?
One: I'm afraid things are a little more complicated than that.

Alice: Who's the Red Queen?
One: State-of-the-art artificial intelligence.
She is the computer that controls The Hive.

Spence: What happened here?
One: 5 hours ago, Red Queen went homicidal, 
sealed The Hive and killed everyone down here.
When we realized what was happening, my team was dispatched to shut her down.
Alice: Why did she do it?
One: That we don't know.
But outside interference is a possibility.

Red Queen: Get out! Get out! You can't be in here.
Kaplan: Don't listen to anything she says.
She's a holographic representation of the Red Queen.
Red Queen: You have to get out.
Kaplan: Modeled after the head programmer's daughter.
She'll try to deceive us, confuse us.
Red Queen: I wouldn't advise this.
Disabling me will result in loss of primary power.
Kaplan: She'll say anything to stop us from shutting her down.
Red Queen: I implore you.
Kaplan: Implore away.
Red Queen: Please? Please...
You're all going to die down here.

Kaplan: What was all the shooting?
Rain: We found a survivor.
Kaplan: And you shot him?
Rain: She was crazed. She bit me!

[found some spills of blood on the floor]
Matt: Looks like it's coagulated.
Alice: Yeah.
Matt: It's not possible.
J.D: Why not?
Matt: Because blood doesn't do that till after you're dead.

Kaplan: Where are the bodies? Where did they go?
Rain: Whatever they are, there's too many of them out there.
Kaplan: Whatever they are?
It's pretty obvious what they are.
Lab coats, badges... Those people used to work here!
Rain: All the people working here are dead.
Spence: Well, that isn't stopping them from walking around.
Kaplan: Where did they come from?
Why didn't we see them on the way in?
Rain: When you cut the power, you unlocked the doors.
You let them out!
Kaplan: We're never gonna make it to the surface.

Matt: Corporations like Umbrella think they're above the law.
But they're not.
There are hundreds of thousands of us who think the same, all over the world.
Some of us provide information, others give their support.
Some take more direct action.
Alice: Like you.
Matt: If your friends had been a little more thorough, 
they would've seen right through my false ID.
Then all the red flags would've gone off... Quantico, NSA, VICAP, all the rest.
There's no way I could've infiltrated The Hive.
Alice: So you sent your sister.
Matt: We needed something concrete.
Anything to expose Umbrella to the press.
Proof of the research that was going on down here.
Alice: What kind of research?
Matt: The illegal kind.
Genetic.
Viral.
My sister was going to smuggle out a sample of the virus they were developing.
Alice: So how was she going to make it out of here?
Matt: She had a contact within The Hive, someone I never met.
They had access to security codes, surveillance, everything she needed.
Alice: So why didn't she make it?
Matt: Maybe she trusted the wrong person.
Maybe they set her up.
Kept the virus for themselves.
Do you have any idea how much the T-Virus would be worth on the open market?
Alice: What, worth all this?
Matt: Yeah.
To someone.

Kaplan: Where are you taking those?
Alice: I'm turning her back on.
Kaplan: That is not a good idea.
Alice: She'll know a way out of here.
Rain: That homicidal bitch killed my team.
Alice: That homicidal bitch may be our only way out of here.

Rain: Tell us what's going on down here.
Red Queen: Research and development.
Matt: What about the T-Virus?
Red Queen: The T-Virus was a major medical breakthrough,
although it clearly also possessed highly profitable military applications.
Kaplan: How does it explain those things out there?
Red Queen: Even in death, the human body still remains active.
Hair and fingernails continue to grow.
New cells are produced 
and the brain itself holds a small electrical charge that takes months to dissipate.
The T-Virus provides a massive jolt both to cellular growth 
and to those trace electrical impulses.
Put quite simply it reanimates the body.
Rain: It brings the dead back to life?
Red Queen: Not fully.
The subjects have the simplest of motor functions.
Perhaps a little memory.
Virtually no intelligence.
They are driven by the basest of impulses, the most basic of needs.
Kaplan: Which is?
Red Queen: The need to feed.

Rain: How do you kill them?
Red Queen: Severing the top of the spinal column or massive trauma to the brain 
are the most effective methods.
Rain: You mean shoot them in the head.

Matt: Why did you kill everybody down here?
Red Queen: The T-Virus escaped into the air conditioning system 
and an uncontrolled pattern of infection began.
The virus is protean, changing from liquid to airborne to blood transmission 
depending on its environment.
It's almost impossible to kill.
I couldn't allow it to escape from The Hive, so I took steps.

Red Queen: Those who become infected, I can't allow you to leave.
Spence: Whoa, we're not infected.
Red Queen: Just one bite, one scratch from these creatures is sufficient.
And then, you become one of them.

Spence: We work for the same company.
You knew what they did.
Alice: I was trying to stop them.
Spence: You really believe that people like him will ever change anything?
No. Nothing ever changes.

One of the Hive's early experiments
produced by injecting the T-Virus directly into living tissue.
The results were unstable.
Now that it has fed on fresh DNA, it will mutate, becoming a stronger, faster hunter.
~Red Queen

TREASURE PLANET [2002]

Chart Your Own Course 

You got the makings of greatness in you, 

but you got to take the helm and chart your own course. 

Stick to it, no matter the squalls! 

And when the time comes you get the chance to really test the cut of your sails, 

and show what you're made of! 

Well, I hope I'm there, catching some of the light coming off you that day.

FRIDA [2002]

Prepare To Be Seduced 

 I had two big accidents in my life Diego, the trolley and you... 

You are by far the worse.  

[Frida Kahlo]

They say never trust a limping dog or the tears of a woman.  

[Frida Kahlo]

I hope the exit is joyful and I hope never to return.

[Frida Kahlo]

I'd rather have an intelligent enemy than a stupid friend. 

[David Siqueiros]

[Frida Kahlo]: What do you think matters most for a good marriage? 

[Guillermo Kahlo]:  A short memory. 

[Frida Kahlo]: Why did you get married? 

[Guillermo Kahlo]: I can't remember. 

[Frida Kahlo]: Don't think I am going to sleep with you 

just because you took me under your wing. 

[Diego Rivera]: Before you came along, I was painting murals and womanizing in peace.

[Diego Rivera]: Is fidelity that important to you? 

[Frida Kahlo]: Loyalty is important to me. Can you be loyal?
