Rupert Pupkin: Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime.

Rupert Pupkin: Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime.
Ida: I really don't understand why anybody will work for you. When… when you're so awful and stupid and not nice.
Philip: I pay him good money.
Lionel Bloch: To serve people takes dignity and intelligence. But remember, they are only people with money. And although we serve them, we are not their servants. What we do, Miss Ventura, does not define who we are. What defines us is how well we rise after falling.
Piper: We would have known.
Gabe: You're twins, not clones.
[Contra has chased Tom right up to the Secretary's Office when they are stopped by the MPs]
Tom Farrell: [to nearest MP] I am your superior officer and I am giving you a direct order to *arrest this man*!
Contra #2: I have orders from Pritchard!
Tom Farrell: DO IT!
Contra #2: I have my orders from Pritchard!
Tom Farrell: [to Contra] SHUT UP!
[Tom kicks Contra 2 in the groin. Contra is dragged away by the MPs]
Tom Farrell: And if he resists, SHOOT HIM!
MP: Yes, sir!
Tom Langdon: Maybe this is fate.
Eleanor Carter: No, it's not. This is bad luck, that's all.
Sam: So does this cute little fella say anything or make noise or warn you when he's about to steal your soul?
J.P. Presley: memories build the bridge between our minds and heart, and they should be preserved like treasured keepsakes
George Smiley: I want to talk about loyalty, Toby. Control recruited you, didn't he? He found you starving in a museum in Vienna, a wanted man. He saved your life, I heard. And yet, when the time came… when it came to picking sides between him and Alleline, you didn't hesitate. It's understandable, perhaps, with your war experience. You survived this long, I suppose, because of your ability to change sides, to serve any master.
Easterhase: What's… what's this about, George?
George Smiley: It's about which master you've been serving, Toby.

Peter Clemenza: Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
