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

30 DAYS OF NIGHT [2007]



They're Coming!

Barrow, Alaska - Northernmost town in the U.S.
Isolated in 80 miles of roadless wilderness.
Cut off every winter for 30 days of night.

Ally Riis, about her slaughtered dogs: What sick jerk would do this?
John Riis: Every kennel. Every dog we had.
Eben: Did you fight with anyone recently, John?
Ally Riis: I'll kill them. I'll kill them.
Eben: This wasn't done long ago. I'll find them, okay?

Carter: I saw Wilson's helicopter logo.
Pulled that stuff out before it got totally trashed.
Eben: You keep your copter under lock and key, don't you?
Wilson: Yeah, I put it in dry dock when the tourists headed south.
I haven't looked at it for days.
They ripped out the throttle, the rotors, half the fucking helicopter!
It's my life, Eben.
Why would someone rip the hell out of my bird?

Eben: Let me tell you what I got.
You don't work at the refinery.
You didn't fly in.
Somebody's have seen you.
And you're definitely not from around here.
How'd you get in?
[The Stranger didn't say anything]
Eben: All right.
We got a long time to figure this out.
Nobody's coming for you for a month.
[The Stranger smirks]

Bar the windows.
Try to hide.
They're coming.
This time they gonna take me with them, honor me.
For all that I have done.
~The Stranger

This is Sheriff Eben Oleson.
Stay in your homes, lock your doors and load your firearms.
This is not a drill.
~Eben Oleson

Anyone with a genny should go home immediately, just to be safe.
 If you don't have one, you should meet at the diner.
~Eben Oleson

No way out of town.
No one to come help.
You can feel it.
That cold ain't the weather, that's death approaching.
Who you think they gonna take first?
The girl who thinks a gun will help her?
The kid. sheriff's kid?
Or the old gal?
~The Stranger

Jake: They're like vampires, you know.
Stella: Vampires don't exist, Jake.
Doug: They don't fall when you shoot them.
Beau: Hell, neither do I.


Stella: I should've fought harder.
Kept Wilson here.
Eben: It's hard to stop someone when their family's at stake.
The things you do to save your own.
Stella: We were like that once. Weren't we?

I'm done playing with this one.
You wanna play with me now?
~Little Girl Vampire

Carter: Eben, could we make it to your station if somebody created a diversion?
Eben: How?
Stella: These things can't survive the sun.
What if we brought the sun early?
Helen had that operation at home.
Jake: Yeah, she used an ultraviolet light to grow the stuff.
Stella: I can run for her place, let them follow me.
Hit them with the sun lamp while the rest of you go to the sheriff's station.
Beau: Just because something stopped Bela Lugosi, doesn't mean it can stop these things.
Stella: Why would they send that stranger to cut us off if they can handle the light?
Jake: What if it doesn't work?
Stella: It has to.

You do understand?
What can be broken must be broken.
~Marlow


It took centuries for us to make them believe we were only bad dreams.
We cannot give them reason to suspect.
Destroy them all.
~Marlow

I can smell your blood.
~Eben Oleson

Stella: What did you do to yourself?
Eben: What I had to.

28 WEEKS LATER [2007]

Week Twenty-Eight: No Escape


Karen: He'll be hungry.
 When he gets back, he'll want something to eat.
Jacob: Here we go again.
Let me tell you something, sweetheart, it's been 5 days since your boyfriend ran out on us.
If he's still breathing, he won't be interested in pasta.
It'll be your fucking neck!
Karen: Don't you say that!
Don: Out of order, Jacob.
Jacob: Why? We all know it's true.
The sooner she faces it, the better.
There are no survivors. It's just us in here and them out there.

15 days later, mainland Britain is quarantined

28 days later, mainland Britain has been destroyed by the rage virus

5 weeks later, the infected have died of starvation

11 weeks later, an American-led NATO Forces enters London

18 weeks later, mainland Britain is declared free of infection

24 weeks later, reconstruction begins

We are headed for our area of security and reconstruction designated as District One.
District One is located on the Isle of Dogs.
Although the Isle of Dogs is completely safe, the surrounding area of London is not.
There are a large number of bodies still not cleared from the original outbreak of infection.
Rats and wilds dogs are prevalent, as is disease.
New arrivals are reminded for their own safety
it is absolutely forbidden to sross the river and leave the security zone.
You will be joining15,000 civilians who are already resident in District One.
As we approach your new home, you'll notice a dramatically increased military presence.
The US Army is responsible for your safety.
We will do everything we can do to make your repatriation as easy as possible.
Inside District One, however, we believe you'll be pleasantly surprised.
We have hot and cold running water, 24-hour electricity, a medical centre, 
a supermarket and even a pub.
~Train Announcer

General Stone: Major, what are you afraid of?
Major Scarlet: What if it comes back?
General Stone: It won't come back.
Major Scarlet: What if it does?
General Stone: If it comes back, we kill it. Code Red.

Andy: I get worried I'm gonna forget what she looks like.
Tammy: You won't forget.
Andy: I don't even have a picture of her.
Tammy: You won't forget.

Major Scarlet: There's no question, sir, she has the virus. She's infected.
General Stone: Why isn't she showing any symptoms?
Major Scarlet: I don't know.
General Stone: Speculate.
Major Scarlet: A genetic abnormality which acts as some sort of natural immunity?
But the virus is still in her blood and saliva, so technically she's not immune.
She's a carrier.
General Stone: She has the abiliry to infect others?
Major Scarlet: Yes, sir, absolutely.

 
 
Doyle: Anyway, what about you?
Why the hell are you here?
Major Scarlet: Their mother had very special blood.
A natural kind of immunity to the virus.
Not all genetic traits are passed on, they can skip a generation or vanish altogether, but...
Doyle: But they might have it.
Major Scarlet: It's a possibility.
So their lives are far more valuable than mine. Or yours.
Doyle: I got it.
