Sagan om ringen - Härskarringen

Sagan om ringen – Härskarringen (2001)

Citat, ,

Frodo:
I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf:
So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.

Hancock

Hancock (2008)

Citat,

John Hancock:
All of you people, blocking the intersection, you’re all idiots.
Rail Crossing Crowd #1:
You’re the one that threw the dude’s car at her. And what’s with the train?
Rail Crossing Crowd #2:
Why didn’t you just go straight up in the air with the car? You’ve obviously injured that poor woman.
Rail Crossing Crowd #3:
She’s right. She should sue you.
John Hancock:
Okay. Well, you should sue McDonald’s, ’cause they fucked you up.

Gremlins 2 - Det nya gänget

Gremlins 2 – Det nya gänget (1990)

Citat, ,

Grandpa Fred:
[interviewing Brain Gremlin]
Creature what is it that you want?
Brain Gremlin:
Fred, what we want is, I think, what everyone wants, and what you and your viewers have: civilization.
Grandpa Fred:
Yes, but what sort of civilization are you speaking of?
Brain Gremlin:
The niceties, Fred. The fine points: diplomacy, compassion, standards, manners, tradition… that’s what we’re reaching toward. Oh, we may stumble along the way, but civilization, yes. The Geneva Convention, chamber music, Susan Sontag. Everything your society has worked so hard to accomplish over the centuries, that’s what we aspire to; we want to be civilized.
[a Gremlin with a beanie cap acts goofy next to Brain]

Brain Gremlin:
You take a look at this fellow here.
[Brain shoots the Gremlin in the head. The Gremlins in the bar laugh. Grandpa Fred and Kujitsu leave]

Brain Gremlin:
Now, was that civilized? No, clearly not. Fun, but in no sense civilized. Now, bear in mind, none of us has been in New York before. There are the Broadway shows – we’ll have to find out how to get tickets. There’s also a lot of street crime, but I believe we can watch that for free. We want the essentials. Dinettes. Complete bedroom groups. Convenient credit, even though we’ve been turned down in the past.

Gremlins

Gremlins (1984)

Citat, ,

Kate Beringer:
Now I have another reason to hate Christmas.
Billy Peltzer:
What are you talking about?
Kate Beringer:
The worst thing that ever happened to me was on Christmas. Oh, God. It was so horrible. It was Christmas Eve. I was 9 years old. Me and Mom were decorating the tree, waiting for Dad to come home from work. A couple hours went by. Dad wasn’t home. So Mom called the office. No answer. Christmas Day came and went, and still nothing. So the police began a search. Four or five days went by. Neither one of us could eat or sleep. Everything was falling apart. It was snowing outside. The house was freezing, so I went to try to light up the fire. That’s when I noticed the smell. The firemen came and broke through the chimney top. And me and Mom were expecting them to pull out a dead cat or a bird. And instead they pulled out my father. He was dressed in a Santa Claus suit. He’d been climbing down the chimney… his arms loaded with presents. He was gonna surprise us. He slipped and broke his neck. He died instantly. And that’s how I found out there was no Santa Claus.
