 Geoffrey Rush Quotation[regarding he and Joseph Fiennes appearing in both Shakespeare in Love and Elizabeth] "He got to make love to Gwyneth Paltrow and Cate Blanchett. All I got was an Oscar nomination." "My career has been in theatre for 23 years, with spits and coughs in bits and pieces of films. Scott [Hicks] very nicely said my entire career had been my audition [for the role in 'Shine']" Movie Title: Children of the Revolution (1996) as Zachary Welch: Zachary Welch : [in reference to the pub closing] I don't know, frankly, how we'll ever get the revolution going with 6 o'clock closing. Joan Fraser : There's no father Welch. Zachary Welch : Joan I'm not an educated man but I do understand a few basic facts. Movie Title: The Banger Sisters (2002) as Harry: Harry : If everything isn't in order... I get... constipated Suzette : [Looks over her drink] Like I needed to know *that*. Movie Title: Les Misérables (1998) as Javert: Javert : Reform is a discarded fantasy. Javert : What did you say? Speak up, people don't mumble when they speak to me. Javert : It's a pity the law doesn't allow me to be merciful. Movie Title: The Tailor of Panama (2001) as Harold 'Harry' Pendel / Harry Pendel: Harry Pendel : What do you want me to do? Louisa Pendel : Make breakfast. Louisa Pendel : Do you love her? Harry Pendel : Yes, I love her. But I have never *made* love to her. Andrew 'Andy' Osnard : Are you pulling my pisser? Harold 'Harry' Pendel : Not unless the President's pulling mine! Andrew 'Andy' Osnard : Don't be a cunt, Harry, we're made for each other. You've got the debts, I've got the money. Where's your patriotism? Harold 'Harry' Pendel : I had it out in prison, without an anesthetic. Movie Title: Quills (2000) as Marquis de Sade / The Marquis de Sade: Marquis de Sade : Conversation, like certain portions of the anatomy, always runs more smoothly when lubricated. Coulmier : It's nothing but an encyclopedia of perversions. One man killed his wife after reading them. Marquis de Sade : It's a fiction, not a moral treatise. Marquis de Sade : I didn't create this world of ours. I merely recorded it. Dr. Royer-Collard : I won't sully my hands with him. Marquis de Sade : Nor should you. That's the first rule of politics, isn't it? The man who orders the execution never drops the blade. Marquis de Sade : You've already stolen my heart... as well as another more prominent organ, south of the Equator. Marquis de Sade : Ah, you've come to read my trousers. Marquis de Sade : I write what I see, the endless procession to the guillotine. We're all lined up, waiting for the crunch of the blade... the rivers of blood are flowing beneath our feet... I've been to hell young man, you've only read about it. Madeleine : Your publisher says I'm not to leave without another manuscript. Marquis de Sade : I've just the story. It's the unhappy tale... of a virginal laundry lass. The darling of the lower wards where they entomb the criminally insane. Madeleine : Is it awfully violent? Marquis de Sade : Most assuredly. Madeleine : Is it terribly erotic? Marquis de Sade : Fiendishly so. But it comes with a price. A kiss for each page. Marquis de Sade : Why should I love God? He strung up his only son like a side of veal. I shudder to think what he'd do to me. Marquis de Sade : In order to know virtue, we must acquaint ourselves with vice. Only then can we know the true measure of a man. Marquis de Sade : If someone would try to walk on water and drowned, would you blame the Bible? Abbe du Coulmier : You are not to entertain visitors in your quarters. Marquis de Sade : I'm entertaining you now, aren't I? Abbe du Coulmier : Yes, but I'm not a beautiful young prospect ripe for corruption. Marquis de Sade : Don't be so sure. Marquis de Sade : Welcome to our humble madhouse, Doctor. I trust you'll find yourself at home. Marquis de Sade : It's an entire religion based on an oxymoron. Marquis de Sade : It's only a play. Coulmier : It's not even a proper novel. It's nothing but an encyclopedia of perversions. Frankly, it even fails as an exercise in craft. The characters are wooden, the diologue is inane. Not to mention the repetition of words like "nipple" and "pikestaff". Marquis de Sade : There I was taxed; it's true. Coulmier : And such puny scope. Nothing but the worst in man's nature. Marquis de Sade : I write of the great, eternal truths that bind together all mankind. The whole world over, we eat, we shit, we fuck, we kill and we die. Coulmier : But we also fall in love, we build cities, we compose symphonies, and we endure. Why not put that in your books as well. Marquis de Sade : Prepare yourself for the most impure tale ever to spring from the mind of man. Marquis de Sade : What you need, darling, is a long, slow screw The Marquis de Sade : My glorious prose filtered through the minds of the insane. Who knows, they might improve it. Movie Title: Shine (1996) as David: David : It's a tough game, isn't it Roger? Roger : It's a bloodsport. Movie Title: Lantana (2001) as John Knox: Leon Zat : I tell my wife everything. John Knox : That suprises me. Leon Zat : Why? John Knox : Most men hold something back. Movie Title: Intolerable Cruelty (2003) as Donovan Donaly: Donovan Donaly : Explain this away, darling! Movie Title: House on Haunted Hill (1999) as Steven H. Price: Evelyn Stockard-Price : Get off me, you pervert! Steven H. Price : Congratulations. I don't think Evelyn's said that to anything with testicles, ever. Evelyn Stockard-Price : Very funny, Stephen. Have you? [after Price receives a call from Evelyn] Channel 3 Reporter : So Mr. Price, business or pleasure? Steven H. Price : Neither. My wife. Steven H. Price : Let's go down and greet your guests. Show them the real you: corny as Kansas on the fourth of July. Evelyn Stockard-Price : I gave you a goddamn guest list two pages long. Where the hell are they? Steven H. Price : Shredded. Sorry. Decided to whip up one of my own - a group so hungry for money they'd do anything. I thought you'd be more comfortable with your peers. [Discussing Evelyn's birthday party plans over the phone] Steven H. Price : Congratulations. On a scale of one to ten on the perversity meter you just hit a seventy three" Steven H. Price : Sure is a funky old house, ain't it? Evelyn Stockard-Price : [Stephen H. Price is sneaking out of the room] : And where are you off to, Mr. Price? Checking the wiring on the animatronic mummies? Steven H. Price : I'm just gonna go take a leak, if it's okay with you. [Steven Price surprises Eddie, Sara, and Pritchett. Eddie almost shoots Price with his gun] Eddie Baker : That's a good way to get your head blown off, man! Steven H. Price : I'll recommend it to Evelyn. Steven H. Price : [after throwing a wrench and disengaging the lock-down] So much for a PhD in engineering. Evelyn Stockard-Price : Stephen, if you really love me, you'll find a way to drop dead in the next second. Steven H. Price : Oh but baby, finding ways for me to die is really your thing. Let's not forget the O.J. knife with the not so retractable blade, the Jim Jones kool-aide which was exactly that. Evelyn Stockard-Price : Accidents, all accidents until proven otherwise. Steven H. Price : Come on honey, let's go down and meet your guests. Evelyn Stockard-Price : You go ahead darling, I'm just going to run boiling hot water over the places you just touched me. Steven H. Price : [on his newest rollercoaster] Ever see one that starts at the top? 20 stories worth of top. Movie Title: Shakespeare in Love (1998) as Philip Henslowe: Philip Henslowe : Mr. Fennyman, allow me to explain about the theatre business. The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster. Hugh Fennyman : So what do we do? Philip Henslowe : Nothing. Strangely enough, it all turns out well. Hugh Fennyman : How? Philip Henslowe : I don't know. It's a mystery. [On first hearing the tragic ending to Romeo and Juliet] Philip Henslowe : Well, that will have them rolling in the aisles. Philip Henslowe : The show must... you know... William Shakespeare : [prompting him] Go on! [About Marlowe's death in a tavern] Ned Alleyn : A quarrel about the bill. Philip Henslowe : The bill! Ah, vanity, vanity! Ned Alleyn : Not the billing - the BILL! Philip Henslowe : Let us have pirates, clowns, and a happy ending, or we shall send you back to Stratford to your wife! Philip Henslowe : You see - comedy. Love, and a bit with a dog. That's what they want. Philip Henslowe : I'm a dead man and buggered to boot! Movie Title: Elizabeth (1998) as Walsingham / Sir Francis Walsingham: Sir Francis Walsingham : All Norfolk need do is sign that paper and treason will have been committed... Elizabeth : Then let him sign it, and let it all be done. Norfolk : I am Norfolk. Sir Francis Walsingham : You were Norfolk. The dead have no titles. Norfolk : Cut off my head, and make me a martyr. The people will always remember it. Walsingham : No... they will forget. Walsingham : You were the most powerful man in England. And you could have been greater still, but you had not the courage to be loyal, only the conviction of your own vanity. Sir Francis Walsingham : There is so little beauty in this world, and so much suffering. Do you suppose that is what God had in mind? That is to say if there is a god at all. Perhaps there is nothing in this universe but ourselves. And our thoughts." [speaking to a priest he is having tortured] Sir Francis Walsingham : Tell me, what is God to you? Has he abandoned you? Is he such a worldly god that he must play at politics in the filth of conspiracy? Is he not divine? Tell me, as surely as if you were face to face with him now... I'm a patient man, Father. Walsingham : All men need something greater than them to look up to and worship. They must be able to touch the divine here on earth. [on the Virgin Mary] Elizabeth : She has such power over men's hearts. They would die for her. Sir Francis Walsingham : They have found nothing to replace her. Sir Francis Walsingham : Madam, if I may. A prince should never flinch from being blamed for acts of ruthlessness which are necessary for safe guarding the state and their own person. You must take these things so much to heart that you do not fear to strike. Even the very nearest that you have if they be implicated. Movie Title: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) as Barbossa: Barbossa : First, your return to shore was not part of our negotiations nor our agreement, so I must do nothin'. And secondly, you must be a pirate for the Pirate's Code to apply, and you're not. And thirdly, the Code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules. Welcome aboard the Black Pearl, Miss Turner. Elizabeth : Captain Barbossa, I am here to negotiate the cessation of hostilities against Port Royal. Barbossa : There be a lot of long words in there, miss. We're naught but humble pirates. What is it that you want? Elizabeth : I want you to leave and never come back. [crew laughs] Barbossa : I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request. Means "no." Barbossa : We are cursed men, Miss Turner. Barbossa : How the blazes did you get off that island? Jack Sparrow : When you marooned me on that god forsaken spit of land, you forgot one very important thing, mate: I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. Barbossa : For too long I've been parched of thirst and unable to quench it. Too long I've been starving to death and haven't died. I feel nothing. Not the wind on my face nor the spray of the sea. Nor the warmth of a woman's flesh. [steps into moonlight becoming a skeleton] Barbossa : You best start believing in ghost stories Miss Turner. You're in one. Barbossa : Gents you all remember Captain Jack Sparrow. Kill him. Barbossa : The moonlight shows us for what we really are. Barbossa : Why thank ye, Jack. Jack Sparrow : You're welcome. Barbossa : Oh, not you. We named the monkey Jack. Barbossa : So you expect to leave me standing on some beach with nothing but a name and your word it's the one I need and watch you sail away on my ship? Jack Sparrow : No. I expect to leave you standing on some beach with absolutely no name at all, watching me sail away on my ship and then I'll shout the name back to you. Savvy? Barbossa : But that still leaves us with the problem of me standing on some beach with naught but a name and your word it's the one I need. Jack Sparrow : Of the two of us I am the only one who hasn't committed mutiny, therefore my word is the one we'll be trusting. Although, I suppose I should be thanking you because in fact, if you hadn't betrayed me and left me to die, I would have an equal share in that curse same as you. [bites into an apple] Jack Sparrow : Funny ol' world, innit? [offers him an apple] Will Turner : Elizabeth goes free. Barbossa : Yes, we know that one, anything else? Barbossa : You're off the edge of the map, mate. Here there be monsters. Will Turner : She goes free. Barbossa : What's in your head, boy? Will Turner : She goes free. Barbossa : You've only got one shot and we can't die. Jack Sparrow : Don't do anything stupid. Will Turner : You can't. [points gun at his own throat] Will Turner : I can. Jack Sparrow : Like that. Barbossa : I want 50% of ye plunder. Jack Sparrow : 15. Barbossa : 40. Jack Sparrow : 25. Barbossa : [Considering] Jack Sparrow : And I'll buy you a hat. A really BIG one... Commodore. Barbossa : [talking to Will Turner] Who are you? Jack Sparrow : No one. He's no one. Distant cousin of my Aunt's nephew twice removed. Lovely singing voice. Eunuch. [Barbossa leans in to slit Will's throat] Jack Sparrow : You don't want to be doing that, mate. Barbossa : No, I really think I do. Jack Sparrow : Your funeral. Barbossa : So what now, Jack Sparrow? Will it be it two immortals locked in an epic battle until Judgment Day and trumpets sound? Jack Sparrow : Or you could surrender. Barbossa : I feel... cold. [Barbossa pulls the bloody dagger from his chest] Barbossa : I'm curious. After killing me what is it you're planning on doing next? Barbossa : Me holds are burstin' with swag and that bit of shine matters to us? Barbossa : Haul on the main brace, make ready the guns!... and run out the sweeps. Barbossa : Ten years you carry that pistol and now you waste your shot. Will Turner : He didn't waste it. Barbossa : You don't know what this is, do ye?... This is Aztec gold. One of 882 identical pieces they delivered in a stone chest to Cortez himself. Blood money paid to stem the slaughter he wreaked upon them with his armies. But the greed of Cortez was insatiable. So the heathen gods placed upon the gold a terrible curse. Any mortal that removes but a piece from that stone chest shall be punished for eternity. Barbossa : Strike your colors, ya bloomin' cockroaches! Barbossa : Gents, take a walk. Movie Title: Finding Nemo (2003) as Nigel: Nigel : [quietly] Okay, don't make any sudden moves. Hop inside my mouth... if you want to live. Nigel : Hi there. Sorry if I took a snap at you at one time. Fish gotta swim, birds gotta eat. Seagulls: Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Nigel : Oh would you just shut up? You're rats with wings. [Marlin tells the pelican to go into the dentist's office] Nigel : I can't go in there! Marlin : Oh yes you can! [Marlin charges in with raised fin and himself in Nigel's beak] Movie Title: Mystery Men (1999) as Casanova Frankenstein: Mr. Furious : Rage... taking over... Casanova Frankenstein : Yes, yes, we've heard that before. Mr. Furious : No. Rage... REALLY taking over... Capt. Amazing : I knew you couldn't change. Casanova Frankenstein : I knew you'd know that. Capt. Amazing : Oh, I know that. AND I knew you'd know I'd know you knew. Casanova Frankenstein : But I didn't. I only knew that you'd know that I knew. Did you know THAT? Capt. Amazing : Of course. Mr. Furious : I'm a Pantera's box you do not wanna open. Casanova Frankenstein : It is "Pandora." Mr. Furious : Please don't correct me, it sickens me. Casanova Frankenstein : Stick vith me, Tony, and you vill dance again. Casanova Frankenstein : Mmm, oh, this is a fine, elegant Harvey Wallbanger. Capt. Amazing : Even when it's sucked by scum like you? |
