![]() Ron Perlman Quotation"I've always felt there were aspects of me that were monstrous, and you can either hide from it or confront it, embrace it and understand that those are aspects that make you unique and define you and motivate you. You can either overwhelm or overcompensate for them -- but they truly define you as a human being...So that life became a question of either dealing with this monstrousness in one way or another...One finds a way to understand and make friends with that monster and understand that that's the very thing that makes you who you are. That's your emotional and spiritual fingerprint." "I've done millions of mediocre movies. I've done way more than my fair share. You do what you gotta do. This is not heart surgery. I'm not curing cancer. I'm just trying to put my kids through school." [On being a director]: "I don't like working with me. I would punch myself in the mouth if I had to take my direction." [When asked what his idea of Hell is]: "Working at a job that you hate. Having a career and a life that you have no passion for. That's hell." [On Guillermo del Toro]: "It seems as though we are like brothers. After knowing the guy for five minutes, it was one of these instances, where you felt, that you've known him for twenty-five years. This instantaneous friendship and recognition. Very very similar way of viewing the world. And then we found, that working with each other, there was a real simpatico. And I think you could even say, that we are alter egos for one another. Like if he was and actor he would be me and if I was a filmmaker I would be him. We seem to be trying to make the same statement in the world." Movie Title: Blade II (2002) as Reinhardt: Reinhardt : Like my daddy said right before he killed my mom, "If ya want somethin' done right, ya gotta do it yourself". Reinhardt : Can you blush? [Gearing up to go Reaper hunting.] Chupa : Let me ask one question... how the hell we going to find these Reapers? Blade : We won't have to... they'll come to us. [Nyssa throws Chupa a spray bottle, looking at it he accidentally sprays some in his face.] Chupa : [Coughs] , What is this shit? Nyssa : Pheromones, harvested from the Reapers adrenal glands. They're going to key to it. Reinhardt : They want us to spray on some suckpuppy's nut juice? [As Whistler tries to join Blade in entering the House Of Pain.] Whistler : Let's go. Chupa : You won't pass for one of us. Whistler : Like I give a shit. Blade : Why don't you to post on the roof over there? Cover our backs. Whistler : So the Bloodpack's calling the shots now, huh? Great. Reinhardt : Better curb that dog of yours or we'll do it for you. Blade : [Arms bomb.] Keep pushing, asshole. [Disarms bomb.] Movie Title: Hoodlum & Son (2003) as Ugly Jim: Ugly Jim : I take it you're not here because you've read the good reviews. Charlie : You're right. Word of mouth brought me here- a friend's recommendation. Ugly Jim : And what does your friend recommend? Charlie : He recommends you pay him what you owe him. Ugly Jim : You can tell your friend I'll pay him what his service is worth: jack-diddley-squat... With bells on. Benny "The Bomb" : I set you up, you set me up, I set you up again- it's like a game of tennis- and we all know that the guy with the most strings in his racket wins. And that guy aint you. The ball's in your court, McCrae, but believe me- you don't wanna knock it back over here. Ugly Jim : Well maybe I got an ace up my sleeve. Benny "The Bomb" : And maybe you're mixin' your metaphors, Kid. Don't join a game if you can't compete. Movie Title: Enemy at the Gates (2001) as Koulikov: Koulikov : Nobody gives a shit about the telephone guys. Movie Title: The City of Lost Children (1995) as One: Miette : What are you doing? One : Radiator. One : Miette too little. Miette : Not that little. Movie Title: Beauty and the Beast (1987) as Vincent: Father : Is she awake? Vincent : Yes. She's very frightened. Father : How could you bring a stranger down here? To where we live! You ignored our most important rule. Vincent : I know that. But there was no other way. Father : Do you know what they'd do if they caught you up there? Or found you down here? They'd kill you. Or put you behind bars and make you wish you were dead. How could you? Vincent : How could I have turned my back on her, and left her there? Vincent : We're below the city, below the subways. There's a whole world of tunnels and chambers that most people don't even know exists. There are no maps to where we are. It's a forgotten place. But it's warm, and it's safe, and we have all the room we need. So we live here and we try to live as well as we can. And we try to take care of each other. It's our city down here. Catherine Chandler : What are you doing down here? Why are you here? Vincent : I was a baby... abandoned... left to die. Someone found me, brought me here to the man who became my father. He took me, he raised me, he taught me everything...and he named me Vincent. That's where I was found, near the hospital, St. Vincent's. Catherine Chandler : I don't know what to believe. Vincent : It's all true. [Opening credits narration] Vincent : This is where the wealthy and the powerful rule. It is her world...a world apart from mine. Her name...is Catherine. From the moment I saw her, she captured my heart with her beauty, her warmth, and her courage. I knew then, as I know now, she would change my life...forever. Catherine Chandler : He comes from a secret place, far below the city streets, hiding his face from strangers, safe from hate and harm. He brought me there to save my life...and now, wherever I go, he is with me, in spirit. For we have a bond stronger than friendship or love. And although we cannot be together, we will never, ever be apart. Father : She can only bring you unhappiness. Vincent : Then I'll be unhappy! Father : [referring to Vincent's relationship with Catherine] I sometimes feel that I'm standing on the bank of a raging river watching you try to swim across. How can I not worry? I'd be a fool. And yet, Vincent, sometimes I have to marvel at your courage. Vincent : Catherine swims across that river as well. She faces the same dangers, shows the same courage. And in many ways the toll on her is even greater. Father : You really think that's so? Vincent : On the other side of the river there is no one standing on the bank watching. On her side of the river there is no one praying for a safe passage. On her side of the river, Father, there is no one but Catherine. Father : Then I shall stand watch, and pray, for both of you. Devin : I've been having these dreams lately, about the tunnels. Weird, isn't it? I've been to Casablanca, the Himalayas, Paris...all over the world. Everywhere south of Oz and north of Shangri-La! And I dream...about a hole in the ground. Vincent : It's not so weird, when that hole in the ground is home. Vincent : Every year they ask for the same stories. By now they must know them better than you do. Father : Well, you know, old stories are rather like old friends. Every once in a while, you have to drop in on them, just to see how they're doing. Bridget : The night has a special magic to it, don't you think? This night, especially. Vincent : Halloween. Bridget : In the Old Religion they call it Samhain. It's a night when the walls between the worlds grow thin, and spirits of the Underworld walk the earth. A night of masks and balefires, when anything is possible and nothing is quite as it seems. Your city has its own magic as well. Vincent : Catherine, I don't know what will happen now. Catherine Chandler : You must promise me one thing; that you'll share it with me. Whatever happens, whatever comes. Vincent : Whatever happens, whatever comes...know that I love you. Movie Title: Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu (2003) as Clayface: [A two-foot-tall Clayface faces Batman] Clayface : Time to end it, one way or the other, Batman. Batman : Too bad you're only half the monster you used to be. Clayface : Children, come to me. [Clayface's clay soldiers approach from all angles, and Clayface reabsorbs them, growing several feet and looming over Batman] Clayface : Still look like an easy fight, Batman?

Movie Title: Alien: Resurrection (1997) as Johner: Johner : Right, you're the "new model" droid. You can access the mainframe by remote. Annalee Call : No, I can't. I burned my modem. We all did. Ripley : Who do I have to fuck to get off this boat? Johner : I can get you off. Maybe not the boat. Johner : Don't push me, little Call. If you hang with us for a while, you'll find out I am not the man with whom to fuck! Johner : Earth, man. What a shithole. Johner : Hey, Vriess, you got a socket wrench? Maybe she just needs an oil change. Can't believe I almost fucked it. Vriess : Yeah, like you never fucked a robot. Purvis : God, I am so tired. Johner : Sleep when you die, man. Annalee Call : Jesus Christ, Johner, what do you put in this shit, battery acid? Johner : Just for color. Johner : So, I hear you, like, ran into these things before? Ripley : Yeah. Johner : What did you do? Ripley : I died. Johner : What a waste of ammo. Must be a chick thing. Johner : I'm not the mechanic here, Ironsides! I mostly just hurt people! [when the Betty hits Earth's atmosphere] Johner : What's burning? Vriess : Us! Johner : Shit! You're right! Johner : [to Call] Kill you! Does that compute? Johner : You can't fly one of these things? Ripley : Are you kidding? This piece of shit is even older than I am. Movie Title: The Magnificent Seven (1998) as Josiah / Jock Steele: Josiah : A woman like that renews a man's faith. Ezra : In what? Jock Steele : I've never seen a man of the cloth carry a gun before. Nathan : Josiah can get very Old Testament on occasion. Josiah : Mother? I always thought Ezra was raised by wolves! Chris : The guy we're hunting for was close enough to sneak into my room and leave a dead body, and we're just sitting here eating breakfast! Josiah : It's the most important meal of the day. Movie Title: The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996) as Sayer of the Law: Sayer of the Law : To go on two legs is very hard. Perhaps four is better, anyway.

But I can't. But I can promise you two things. One: I'll always look this good. [Liz laughs] Hellboy : Two: I'll never give up on you... ever. Liz Sherman : I like that. Hellboy : Good.

The Vatican thought its occupant dangerous enough to include it on the list of Avignon, of which we hold a copy.
