ENCHANTED [2007]

This Fairytale Princess is About to Meet a Real Prince Charming

 I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss,

and a prince I'm hoping comes with this.

That's what brings ever afterings so happy.

And that's the reason we need lips so much,

for lips are the only things that touch,

so to spend a life of andless bliss.

Just find who you love, through true love's kiss.

~Giselle

Sam: After a whole day of that, you still want to get engaged?

Robert: Those people got married on a crazy romantic whim.

It's not like that with Nancy and I.

Sam: Right, none of that crazy romantic stuff for you, huh?

Robert: We're rational.

We understand each other's strenghts and weaknesses.

Sam: Sounds like building a bridge.

Robert: True love's kiss?

Giselle: It's the most powerful thing in the world.

Robert: Right.

Just because she has on a funny dress, doesn't mean she's a princess.

She is a seriously confused woman who's fallen into our laps.

~Robert Phillip

Robert: You're gonna marry somebody after a day because you fell in love with him?
Giselle: Yes.

Robert: Most normal people get to know each other before they get married.
They date.
Giselle: Date?
Robert: Yeah, you know, date.
You go some place special, like a restaurant, or a movie, a museum.
Or you just hang out and you talk. 
Giselle: What do you talk about?
Robert: About each other. About yourself. About your interests. Your likes, your dislikes.
You talk. 
Giselle: You have such strange ideas about love. 
Robert: Maybe we should do what you would do.
You meet, have lunch, and get married. 
Giselle: Oh, you forgot about happily ever after. 
Robert: Forget 'happily ever after'. It doesn't exist. 
Giselle: Of course it does.
Robert: I hate to disagree, but marriage are a success if they manage not to end.
Forget about happiness.
Giselle: What about you and Nancy? 
You know that you will live happily ever after. 
Robert: I don't know if I'll make it through today, let alone a lifetime. 
That's what I'm trying to tell you. It's complicated.
 Giselle: But it doesn't have to be. Not if she knows.
Robert: Knows what? 
Giselle: How much you really love her.
Robert: Of course she does. 
We just don't talk about it every minute of the day, but she knows. 

 Giselle: This is a very nice place.
Robert: Yeah.
Giselle: And we're eating dinner.
Robert: Yeah. 
Giselle: This is a date. 

 Giselle: You were in love.
Robert: Yeah. That was the problem.
Giselle: How could that be a problem? 
Robert: Because love... the lovey-dovey version that you talk about? It's fantasy.
And one day, you have to wake up and you're in the real world.
Giselle: What made you wake up? 
Robert: Well, she left.
Giselle: I'm so sorry for you both.

 Robert, about Morgan: That's why I don't encourage the fairy tales.
I don't want to set her up to believe in this 'dreams come true' nonsense.
 Giselle: But dreams do come true.
And maybe something wonderful will happen.
Robert: Yeah, well, I forgot who I was talking to.

 Giselle: Edward is coming for me.
Robert: But what if he doesn't?
 Giselle: Why do you keep saying that?
Robert: Because I deal with this every day. 
If a relationship has issues at the beginning, it doesn't get any better.
Giselle: He is coming! 

 What a terrible accident that brought you to this terrible place
with so much sadness and so much pain.
To never be with the one you love.
Doomed to be with another for eternity.
~Queen Narissa

 

  Oh, my. This is a twist on our story. It's the brave little princess coming to the rescue.
[to Robert] I guess that makes you the damsel in distress, huh, handsome?
~Queen Narissa 

Giselle: Is this a habit of yours? Falling off of stuff?
Robert: Only when you're around to catch me.

THE MIST [2007]

Fear Changes Everything

Billy: What is it, Daddy?

 David: Mist?

Stephanie: On the lake?

David: We've had mist on the lake before.

Stephanie: Coming off the mountain like that?

David: Two fronts meeting, left over from the storm, something like that...

Stephanie: You sure?

David: Honey, I'm not the weatherman.

Something in the mist!

Something in the mist took John Lee!

I could hear him screaming!

~Dan Miller

No, don't go out there.

It's the end of days.

~Mrs. Carmody

 

What the hell were those tentacles even attached to?

~David Drayton

Ollie: We've got to discuss how we're gonna stop that thing getting in here.

Myron: Wait, what do you mean getting in here?

You shut the loading door.

Ollie: Yeah, but the entire front of the store is plate glass.

You can't convince some people there's a fire, even when their hair is burning.

Denial is a powerful thing.

~Ollie Weeks

We are experiencing some kind of disaster.

I don't know whether it's man-made or natural, 

but I do know that it's definitely not supernatural or biblical, 

and, no offense Mrs Carmody, but the only way we're gonna help ourselves is to seek rescue.

We're going out.

~Brent Norton

David: You sure there's no way I can talk you out of this?

Brent: David, there's noting out there.

Nothing in the mist.

David: What if you're wrong?

Brent: Then I guess the joke would be on me after all.

David: Want another reason to get the hell out of here?

I'll give you the best one.

Mrs. Carmody.

She's our very own Jim Jones.

I'd like to leave before people start drinking the Kool-Aid.

Mike: Right. Flakier people get, the better she's gonna look.

Amanda: No, I don't buy that.

It's obvious she's nuts.

Look, a few people maybe, but...

David: No, I count 4.

She's preachin' to them right now.

By noon, she'll have 4 more.

By tomorrow night, when tjose things come back, she'll have a conregation,

and then we can start worryin' about who she's gonna sacrifice to make it all better.

You, Amanda? My little boy?

Dan: He's right.

Amanda: You don't have much faith in humanity, do you?

Dan: None whatsoever.

Amanda: I can't accept that.

People are basically good, decent.

My God, David, we're a civilized society.

David: Sure, as long as the machines are working and you can dial 911.

But you take those things away, you throw people in the dark, you scare the shit out of them.

No more rules, you'll see how primitive they get.

Dan: You scare people badly enough, you can get them to do anything.

They'll turn to whoever promises a solution, or whatever.

Amanda: Ollie, plese, back me up here.

Ollie: I wish I could.

As a species, we're fundamentally insane.

Put more than 2 of us in a room, we pick sides

and start dreaming up reasons to kill one another.

Why do you think we invented politics and religion?

I'd rather die out there trying than in here waiting.

~Amanda Dunfrey

Promise you won't let the monsters get me.

Ever.

No matter what.

~Billy Drayton

They're dead... for what?

~David Drayton
