James Bond:
[to the camera]
This never happened to the other fellow.
Jack Foley:
It’s like seeing someone for the first time, like you can be passing on the street, and you look at each other for a few seconds, and there’s this kind of a recognition like you both know something. Next moment the person’s gone, and it’s too late to do anything about it. And you always remember it because it was there, and you let it go, and you think to yourself, ’What if I had stopped? What if I had said something?’ What if, what if… it may only happen a few times in your life.
Karen Sisco:
Or once.
Jack Foley:
[softly]
Or once.

President Thomas Whitmore:
Good morning.
[PA doesn’t work. Turns it on]
President Thomas Whitmore:
Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. ”Mankind.” That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it’s fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom… Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution… but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: ”We will not go quietly into the night!” We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!

Kit:
White boys always get the Oscar. It’s a known fact. Did I ever get a nomination? No! You know why? Cause I hadn’t played any of them slave roles, and get my ass whipped. That’s how you get the nomination. A black dude who plays a slave that gets his ass whipped gets the nomination, a white guy who plays an idiot gets the Oscar. That’s what I need, I need to play a retarded slave, then I’ll get the Oscar.
Dignam:
[observing an exchange of microprocessors for money between Costello and Chinese triad members]
This is unbelievable. Who put the fuckin’ cameras in this place?
Police Camera Tech:
Who the fuck are you?
Dignam:
I’m the guy who does his job. You must be the other guy.
[Little Jordan pulls up to a red light in her car. The car next to her rolls down its window and smoke billows out]
Stoner in Car:
How old are you?
Little Jordan Sanders:
Man, I don’t even know.
Newton Davis: Half the things we tell ourselves are fiction.
M.I.B UK Branch Head: Always remember: the universe has a way of leading you to where you're supposed to be, at the moment you're supposed to be there.
Ben Bass:
The heart’s nothing but a muscle.
