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.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST [2006]

Captain Jack is Back

 Jack Sparrow: It is a drawing of a key.

Gentlemen, what do keys do?

Leech: Keys... unlock things?

Gibbs: And whatever this key unlocks, inside there's something valuable.

So we're setting out to find whatever this key unlocks.

Jack Sparrow: No.

If we don't have the key, we can't open whatever we don't have that it unlocks.

So what purpose would be served in finding whatever need be unlocked, which we don't have,

without first having found the key what unlocks it?

Gibbs: So, we're going after this key.

Jack Sparrow: You're not making any sense at all.

Bootstrap: I'm sorry for the part I played in the mutiny against you, Jack.

I stood up for you.

Everything went wrong after that.

They strapped me to a cannon.

I ended up on the bottom of the ocean, the weight of the water crushing down on me.

Unable to move, unable to die, Jack.

And I thought that even the tiniest hope of escaping this fate, I would take it.

I would trade anything for it.

Jack Sparrow: It's funny what a man will do to forestall his final judgement.

Bootstrap: You made a deal with him too, Jack.

He raised The Pearl from the depths for you.

13 years, you've been her captain.

You won't be able to talk yourself out of this.

The terms what applied to me apply to you as well.

One soul bound to crew 100 years upon his ship.

Jack Sparrow: The Flying Dutchman already has a captain...

Bootstrap: Then it's the locker for you!

Jones's terrible leviathan will find you and drag The Pearl back to the depths and you along with it.

 Elizabeth: You sent Will to get you the compass owned by Jack Sparrow.
It will do you no good.
Lord Beckett: Do explain.
Elizabeth: I have been to the Isal de Muerta.
I have seen the treasure myself.
There is something you need to know.
Lord Beckett: You think the compass leads only to the Isla de Muerta
and so you hope to save me from an evil fate.
But you mustn't worry.
I care not for cursed Aztec gold.
My desires are not so provincial.
There's more than one chest of value in these waters.

Ragetti: How'd you know it weren't Divine Providence what inspired you to be clever?
Anyways, I ain't stealing no ship.
Pintel: It ain't stealing, it's salvaging.
And since when did you care?
Ragetti: Since we're not immortal no more.
We gotta take care of our immortal souls.
Pintel: You know you can't read.
Ragetti: It's the Bible. You get credit for trying.
Pintel: Pretending to read the Bible's a lie.

Will: Why is Jack afraid of the open ocean?
Gibbs: Well, if you believe such things, there's a beast does the bidding of Davy Jones.
A fearsome creatures with giant tentacles that'll suction your face clean off
and drag an entire ship down to the crushing darkness.
The kraken.
Imagine, the last thing you know on God's green earth is the roar of the kraken
and the reeking odor of a thousand rotting corpses.
If you believe such things.
Will: And the key will spare him that?
Gibbs: That's the very question Jacks wants answered.
Bad enough even to go visit... her.

You have a touch of destiny about you, William Turner.
~Tia Dalma

Tia Dalma: Your key go to a chest.
And it is what lay inside the chest you seek, don't it?
Gibbs: What is inside?
Pintel: Gold? Jewels? Unclaimed properties of a valuable nature?
Ragetti: Nothing bad, I hope?
Tia Dalma: You know Davy Jones, yes?
A man of the sea.
A great sailor.
Until he run a foul of that which vex all men.
Will: What vexes all men?
Tia Dalma: What indeed?
Gibbs: The sea?
Pintel: Sums?
Ragetti: The dichotomy of good and evil?
Jack Sparrow: A woman.
Tia Dalma: A woman.
He fell in love.
Gibbs: No, no, no. I heard it was the sea he fell in love with.
Tia Dalma: Same story, different versions, and all are true.
It was a woman as changing and harsh and untamable as the sea.
Him never stopped loving her.
But the pain it cause him was too much to live with but not enough to cause him to die.
 Will: What exactly did he put into the chest?
Tia Dalma: Him heart.
Ragetti: Literally or figuratively?
Pintel: He couldn't literally put his heart in a chest. Could he?
Tia Dalma: It was not worth feeling what small, fleeting joy life brings.
And so, him carve out him heart, lock it away in a chest and hide the chest from the world.
The key, he keep with him at all times.

Davy Jones cannot make port.
Cannot step on land but once every 10 years.
Land is where you are safe, Jack Sparrow, and so you will carry land with you.
~Tia Dalma

Do you fear death?
Do you fear that dark abyss?
All your deeds laid bare.
All your sins punished.
I can offer you an escape.
~Davy Jones

Wyvern: The dead man's chest.
Will: What do you know of this?
Wyvern: Open the chest with the key, and stab the heart...
No, no, no, don't stab the heart.
The Dutchman needs a living heart or there'll be no captain.
And if there's no captain, there's no one to have the key.
Will: So the captain has the key?
Where is the key?
Wyvern: Hidden.
Will: Where is the chest?
Wyvern: Hidden.

Jack Sparrow: My compass, is unique.
Norrington: Unique here having the meaning of broken.
Jack Sparrow: True enough, this compass does not point north.
Elizabeth: Where does it point?
Jack Sparrow: It points to the thing you want most in this world. 

Bootstrap: Get yourself to land and stay there.
It was always in my blood to die at sea.
It was not a fate I ever wanted for you.
Will: It's not a fate you had to choose for yourself, either.

THE GAME PLAN [2007]

He Had The Perfect Game Plan. 

There's Just One Little Problem... 

Never say no.

~Joe Kingman

Joe: Come on, get a life, Sanders.

Sanders, points at the party: Oh, you call this 'life'?

That ain't life, Joe.

Joe: You just can't come walking into stranger's homes like this.

There are a lot of weirdos out there in the world.

Didn't your mom ever teach you that?

Peyton: Yeah.

Joe: Well, where is she?

Peyton: On an airplane.

Joe: On an airplane? Who are you here with?

Peyton: My father.

Joe: You better go get him, because I'm sure he's looking for you.

Peyton: He's not looking for me.

Joe: How do you know?

 Peyton: Because he's looking at me.

Joe: What?

Peyton: Hi, we've never met before.

You were married to my mom, Sara. Sara Kelly?

My name is Peyton.

I'm your daughter.

Joe: What did you put in those cookies?

Peyton: Milk, flour, eggs and cinnamon...

Joe: Cinnamon! I'm allergic to cinnamon.

Peyton: Oh, I'm sorry.

Joe: All you got to say is, "I'm sorry"?

I sound like this, "I'm sorry"?

Cinnamon!

Peyton: I'm allergic to nuts.

Joe: The X's mean 'stay out of these areas of the house'.

The O's mean 'open access'.

For example, you want to go to the kitchen, straight buttonhook.

But now you go to the kitchen, big X.

Off limits. No access. Can't go there.

Because you made a mess in the kitchen.

Do you understand?

No trick plays, no flea-flickers. Got it?

Peyton: Got it. No flea-flickers.

Joe: This is your game plan.

Learn it, live it, love it.

Peyton: My mom says that Fanny's makes kid fat and gives them gas.

Stella: Well, your daddy's agent says Fanny's makes him fat... with cash.

I'm the janitor, Joe's the mop, and Peyton's the mess.

~Stella Peck

Peyton: Hi everybody, I'm Peyton, the one who'll be going to bed early from now on.

My dad didn't have much of a heads-up on this whole father thing

and he is still getting the hang of things.

But it's like everything else in his life, he never says 'no'.

I mean, he's teaching me that you can do anything if you've got motivation and determination.

And the place where that starts is right here, in the heart.

You're the world's greatest father.

[hug him]

Joe, whispering: That was really good.

Peyton: It's going to cost you.

Monique: I just knew you were one of those parents.

Joe: One of what parents?

Monique: The kind who thinks that his life is more important than anybody else's.

Joe: Look, lady, I don't know what kind of parent I am.

All I know is I have an entire team.

Scratch that, an entire city depending on me.

Monique: Yeah, you also have a daughter depending on you.

Not to only take care of her, but to care about her, okay?

Joe: Listen, I care about Peyton.

Monique: Then prove it!

Ballerinas can leap as high as you can, but when they go down, they go down in plie.

And they hold and hold.

And then they go en pointe for hours and hours.

So, if ballet were easy, they'd call it football.

~Monique Vasquez

Your daughter has all the makings to be a professional dancer.

She has passion, talent, discipline.

I guess she inherited more than just your charm.

~Monique Vasquez

Joe: All the talking, and the arguing, and the complaining.

And you know what? You're just like her!

You think you're right about everything, just like her!

Peyton, scrunching her nose: What else?

Joe: You scrunch your nose when you get angry, just like her!

Peyton: Keep it coming.

Joe: You're always working on me with those big brown eyes... well, I actually like that, it's really cute.

But it doesn't matter, because it's just like her!

Peyton: Is that all you got?

Joe: And then you get inside people's minds, and you drive them crazy, just like her!

Peyton: Well, at least I got a mind, because if I didn't, I'd be just like you!

Joe: Well, I'm lucky, because as far as I'm concerned, you are nothing like me!

I would do anything to keep that beautiful smile on your face.

~Joe Kingman

 

Peyton: I'm supposed to be studying at a special ballet program this month

but instead, I snuck away to come meet you.

Joe: You ran away?

YOU RAN AWAY?

Is your mom even in Africa?

Peyton: About that...

Joe: What have you done?

Monique: Okay, I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation and everybody...

Joe: The press is going to eat me alive.

Karen: Are you saying you want Peyton to live here with you?

Joe: Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.

Karen: You haven't even been in her life.

Joe: That's not my fault.

I didn't even know she existed.

And we've come such a long way in a short time.

Karen: What, youu mean since  a month ago when you left her in a bar?

Joe: I'm not the same man that I was.

Karen: Or an hour ago when she almost died on your watch?

This is not about you.

This is about Peyton, what's best for her.

And she needs to be in a stable home with someone who's known her her whole life.

Joe: Peyton needs her father. She needs me. 

Karen: That's not your decision to make.

Sara appointed me her guardian. 

Joe: I missed 8 years of Peyton's life.

And I'm not going to miss any more.

I will fight for this.

Karen: Oh, that would be a great thing to put her through, don't you think?

Do you have any idea how to take care of a child?

Joe: I've been doing it for a month now!

Karen: And look where we're standing, Joe.

Joe: Tell me what I'm supposed to do.

Sanders: The only thing you can do is make sure that she knows you love her

and that nothing's gonna change that.

And then when she's ready, she'll find you again.

Joe: I owe you a big thank you.

Sanders: Oh yeah? For what?

Joe: Just for catching everything I've thrown at you all these years.

Sanders: That's what friends are for.

She's not a distraction. She's my daughter.

I'd want her here with me even if it meant I'd never play another football game again.

There's nothing that I love more than my daughter.

Nothing.

~Joe Kingman

I called an audible.

See, I thought you'd be better off without me.

But judging by the butt-whupping you got out there, I guess I was wrong.

~Peyton Kingman

 

Peyton: Daddy, you won the championship.

Joe: Oh, Peyton, I've won much more than that.
