 Ralph Fiennes Quotation"It's 'Rafe', actually." "I veer away from trying to understand why I act. I just know I need to do it." Movie Title: The Avengers (1998) as John Steed: Sir August de Winter : A man with an umbrella is a man praying for rain. John Steed : And a man without one is a fool. John Steed : So much for science, I'll stick to swordplay. John Steed : Oh, just one thing... Emma Peel : Good luck? John Steed : Something like that. John Steed : After all, according to your file, you're a psychopathic personality with schizophrenic delusions, suffering from recurring amnesia based on traumatic repression leading to outbursts of antisocial and violent behavior. Knight to king seven. Check. Emma Peel : Is that really what you think of me? John Steed : Well... just my type, Mrs. Peel. John Steed : Mrs. Peel, we're needed. Movie Title: The End of the Affair (1999) as Bendrix / Maurice / Maurice Bendrix: Maurice Bendrix : I hate you, God. I hate you as though you existed. Maurice Bendrix : To be is to be perceived. Sarah : Love does not end just because you stop seeing each other. Bendrix : That's not my kind of love. Sarah : Maybe there's no other kind. Maurice : Pain is easy to write. In pain we're all drapply individual. Nut what can one write about happiness? Movie Title: The Good Thief (2002) as Tony Angel: Tony Angel : If I don't get my money back by Monday, what I do to both your faces will definitely be cubist! Bob : It's a good fake, though. Tony Angel : Isn't that a contradiction in terms? A Good Fake? A Happy Homosexual? Movie Title: The Prince of Egypt (1998) as Rameses: Rameses : Tell me this Moses, tell me: why is it that every time you do something, I'm the one who gets into trouble? Rameses : I will not be dictated to, I will not be threatened. I am the morning and evening star, I am Pharaoh! Rameses : I will not be the weak link! Rameses : Let my heart be hardedned, and never mind how high the cost may grow, this will still be so: I will never let your people go. Rameses : Come on, Moses, admit it. You've always looked up to me. Moses : Yes, but it's not much of a view! Rameses : The "weak link in the chain." That's what he called me. Moses : Well, you are rather pathetic. Rameses : Second born, second best! Movie Title: Schindler's List (1993) as Amon Goeth: Amon Goeth : They cast a spell on you, you know, the Jews. When you work closely with them, like I do, you see this. They have this power. It's like a virus. Some of my men are infected with this virus. They should be pitied, not punished. They should receive treatment because this is as real as typhus. I see it all the time. It's a matter of money? Hmm? Amon Goeth : The truth is always the right answer. Amon Goeth : This is very cruel, Oskar. You're giving them hope. You shouldn't do that. *That's* cruel! Amon Goeth : Today is history. Today will be remembered. Years from now the young will ask with wonder about this day. Today is history and you are part of it. Six hundred years ago when elsewhere they were footing the blame for the Black Death, Casimir the Great - so called - told the Jews they could come to Krakow. They came. They trundled their belongings into the city. They settled. They took hold. They prospered in business, science, education, the arts. With nothing they came and with nothing they flourished. For six centuries there has been a Jewish Krakow. By this evening those six centuries will be a rumor. They never happened. Today is history. Reiter : I'm a graduate of Civil Engineering from the University of Milan. Amon Goeth : Ah, an educated Jew... like Karl Marx himself. Unterscharfuehrer! Hujar : Jawohl? Amon Goeth : Shoot her. Reiter : Herr Kommandant! I'm only trying to do my job! Amon Goeth : Ja, I'm doing mine. Oskar Schindler : Look, All you have to do is tell me what it's worth to you. What's a person worth to you? Amon Goeth : No, no, no, No. What's one worth to you! Amon Goeth : I would like so much to reach out to you and touch you in your loneliness. What would it be like, I wonder? What would be wrong with that? I realize that you are not a person in the strictest sense of the word, but, um, maybe you're right about that too. Maybe what's wrong, it's not us, it's this... I mean, when they compare you to vermin, to rodents and to lice. I just, uh, you make a good point. You make a very good point. Is this the face of a rat? Are these the eyes of a rat? "Hath not a Jew eyes?" I feel for you Helen. [leaning forward to kiss her] Amon Goeth : No, I don't think so. You Jewish bitch, you nearly talked me into it, didn't you? Amon Goeth : You want these people? Oskar Schindler : These people. My people. I want my people. Amon Goeth : Who are you? Moses? [Touching his reflection in a mirror] Amon Goeth : I pardon you. Oskar Schindler : Power is when we have every justification to kill, and we don't. Amon Goeth : You think that's power? Oskar Schindler : That's what the Emperor said. A man steals something, he's brought in before the Emperor, he throws himself down on the ground. He begs for his life, he knows he's going to die. And the Emperor... pardons him. This worthless man, he lets him go. Amon Goeth : I think you are drunk. Oskar Schindler : That's power, Amon. That is power. Amon Goeth : One of you is a very lucky girl. There is an opening for a job away from all this back-breaking work, in my new villa. Umm, which of you has domestic experience? Ja, on second thought, I don't really want someone else's maid. All those annoying habits I'd have to undo. Oskar Schindler : [after the liquidation of the Jewish Ghetto] I go into work the other day. Nobody's there. Nobody tells me about this, I have to find out. I have to go in... everybody's gone. Amon Goeth : No... no. They're not gone. They're here. Oskar Schindler : They're MINE! [Goethe admires Schindler's his suit] Amon Goeth : It has a nice sheen to it. What is it, silk? Oskar Schindler : Of course! I'd say I'd get you one but the man who made it's probably dead. Amon Goeth : Scherner told me something else about you. Oskar Schindler : Yeah, what's that? Amon Goeth : That you know the meaning of the word 'gratitude.' That it's not some vague thing with you like it is with others. You want to stay where you are. You've got things going on the side, things are good. You don't want anybody telling you what to do. I can understand all that. You know, I know you... What you want is your own sub-camp. Do you have any idea what's involved? The paperwork alone? Forget you've got to build the fucking thing, getting the fucking permits is enough to drive you crazy. Then the engineers show up. They stand around, they argue about drainage, foundations, codes, exact specifications, parallel fences four kilometers long, six thousand kilograms of electrified fences... I'm telling you, you'll want to shoot somebody. I've been through it, you know, I know. Oskar Schindler : Well, you know, you've been through it. You could make things easier for me. I'd be grateful. [watching the incineration of Jews' bodies outside Krakow] Amon Goeth : Can you believe this? As if I don't have enough to do, they come up with this? I have to find every rag buried up here and burn it. The party's over, Oskar. They're closing us down, sending everybody to Auschwitz. Oskar Schindler : When? Amon Goeth : I don't know. As soon as I can arrange the shipments, maybe thirty, forty days. That ought to be fun. Movie Title: Maid in Manhattan (2002) as Chris / Christopher: Christopher : Let's go see the penguins! Jerry Siegel : Who the hell is she? Christopher : I'll tell you who she isn't. She isn't like anyone I've ever met before. And she isn't a phony. I'll make you a deal, wonder man. You want me at the benefit tomorrow night? Then get her to go, and I swear to God, I'll shake any part of Maddox's body you want me to. Deal? Jerry Siegel : Deal. All right. Sure. Okay. Jerry Siegel : What press are you affiliated with? Ty : I'm 10. Jerry Siegel : What about your parents, are they Democrat or Republican? Ty : What's the difference these days? Christopher : I love this kid. Jerry Siegel : What's not to love. Marisa : Look, you have to listen to me, I know you're used to getting your way. Christopher : Yeah, until I met you. Marisa : There's millions of women who are just dying for you to look their way. Christopher : [Laughing] Yeah? Then why are you making me work so hard? Christopher : You're beautiful. Marisa : So are you. Christopher : Thank you for being here. Marisa : I only came to tell you that this, you and me, can't go anywhere beyond this evening. It just can't. Christopher : Well, then, you should've worn a different dress. Marisa : Marisa Ventura. Housekeeping. Christopher : Chris Marshall. Candidate for Senate. I'd appreciate your vote. Marisa : We'll see. [Running after Marisa when she leaves a benefit early] Christopher : Caroline. Caroline. Caroline. Do you have somewhere else you have to be? Marisa : No, I just have to leave. Christopher : Well, I don't think you're leaving. I think you're running. And what I can't figure out is, are you running towards something you want? Or are you running away from something you're afraid to want? Marisa : Look, I've made so many mistakes already. I just don't want to make it worse. Christopher : You won't. I promise. Marisa : There's something you don't know, ok? Oh, God. How do I tell you this? Look, the first time that you saw me I was... Christopher : You were mesmerizing. Christopher : Do I look as stupid as you think I am? Jerry Siegel : No. No, I mean, you're not stupid. What, what are you talking about? [Meeting Marisa's son, Ty] Christopher : I'm Chris. Jerry Siegel : I'm bald and no one in particular. Marisa : The first time you saw me I was cleaning your bathroom floor! Chris : You expect me to introduce myself while I'm taking a leak? Movie Title: Strange Days (1995) as Lenny Nero / Lenny: Palmer Strickland : Nero. Lenny Nero : Strickland. Palmer Strickland : Comissioner Strickland! Lenny Nero : See, since you shit-canned my career, I don't even have to call you sir. One of life's small pleasures. Lenny : Have you ever been in love with someone who didn't return that love? Mace : Yeah, Lenny, I have. Lenny : It didn't stop you from loving them, right? Or being able to understand them or forgive them? Mace : I guess. Strickland : You're a disappointment, Nero. But you know what disappoints me more? Lenny Nero : Your sex life? Lenny : I didn't know you were color blind, Max. Max : It was the only way I could stand your ties. Lenny Nero : This is not like "TV-only-better" ... this is life. Lenny Nero : See ... I can get you what you want, I can. I can get you anything, you just have to talk to me, you have to trust me. You can trust me, 'cause I'm your priest, I'm your shrink ... I am you main connection to the switchboard of he soul. I'm the magic man ... Santa Claus of the subconscious. You say it, you think it, you can have it. Lenny Nero : This tie cost more than your entire wardrobe ... it's the one thing that stands between me and the jungle. Lenny Nero : Two million years of human evolution and that's the best idea you can come up with. Lenny Nero : Look ... everyone needs to take a walk to the dark end of the street sometimes, it's what we are. Lenny Nero : Bullet-resistant?! What ever happened to bullet-proof?? Lenny Nero : This is what we laughingly refer to as a plan, right? Lenny : I am the magic man. I am your link to the subconscious. I have what you want. I can get you what you can't have. Lenny : His ass is so tight, when he farts only dogs can hear it. Lenny Nero : Right now his frontal lobes are like two runny eggs. Mace : I can't believe you gave them that tape. Lenny Nero : I know. It was one of my favorites; me and Faith in the hot tub. Movie Title: Red Dragon (2002) as Francis Dolarhyde: Francis Dolarhyde : I am the Dragon. / And you call me insane. / You are privy to a great becoming, but you recognize nothing. / You are an ant in the afterbirth. / It is your nature to do one thing correctly. / Before me, you rightly tremble. / But, fear is not what you owe me. / You owe me awe. Francis Dolarhyde : Open your eyes. Freddy Lounds : No. Francis Dolarhyde : Open them or I'll staple your eyelids to your forehead. Francis Dolarhyde : To me, you are a slug in the sun. You are privy to a great becoming but you recognize nothing. You are an ant in the afterbirth. Before me you rightly tremble. But you owe me more than fear. YOU OWE ME AWE. Francis Dolarhyde : I'll shot you and then myself. Reba Mclane : No please no. Francis Dolarhyde : [trying to pull the trigger] I can't do it, I CAN'T DO IT, I CAN'T DO IT. Francis Dolarhyde : I'm the great Red Dragon. Francis Dolarhyde : I am not a man. I began as one, but now I am becoming more than a man, as you will witness. Reba Mclain : If there's anything I hate worse than pity, it's fake pity. Especially from a walking hard-on like Ralph Mandy. Francis Dolarhyde : I have no pity. Movie Title: Wuthering Heights (1992) as Heathcliff: Heathcliff : Now, my bonny lad, you're mine. Let's see if one tree won't grow as crooked as another, with the same wind to twist it. Heathcliff : Misery and degradation and death and nothing that God or Satan could inflict would have parted us, you of your own will, did it. I have not broken your heart -- you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine. Heathcliff : I pray one prayer, I repeat it till my tongue stiffens, Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living! You said I killed you, haunt me, then! ... Be with me always, take any form, drive me mad, only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! ... I cannot live without my life. I cannot live without my soul. Movie Title: The English Patient (1996) as Almásy: Almásy : I fear Madox knows about us, he keeps mentioning Anna Karenina Almásy : Swoon. I'll catch you. Almásy : This... this, the hollow at the base of a woman's throat, does it have an official name? Madox : Good God, man, pull yourself together. Almásy : There is no God... but I hope someone looks after you. Madox : Just in case you're interested, it's called the supersternal notch. Come and visit us in Dorset when all this nonsense is over. [Heads away but turns back] Madox : You'll never come to Dorset. Almásy : What do you love most? Katharine Clifton : Water. Fish in it. Hedgehogs, I love hedgehogs. Marmite. Baths, but not with other people! Islands. I could go on all day. Almásy : Go on all day. Katharine Clifton : Your handwriting. My husband. Almásy : And what do you hate most? Katharine Clifton : A lie. And you? Almásy : Ownership. When you leave, forget me. Almásy : It is a very plum plum. Almásy : I just wanted you to know: I'm not missing you yet. Katharine Clifton : You will. Almásy : When were you most happy? Katharine Clifton : Now. Almásy : When were you least happy? Katharine Clifton : Now. [Asked what he hates most] Almásy : Ownership. I hate being owned. Almásy : I once traveled with a guide who was taking me to Faya. He didn't speak for nine hours. At the end of it he pointed to the horizon and said, "Faya!" That was a good day. Katharine Clifton : I'm surprised that you can sew. Almásy : Good. Katharine Clifton : You sew very badly. Almásy : Well you don't sew at all. Katharine Clifton : A woman should never learn to sew, and if she does know how she shouldn't admit to it. Almásy : How can you smile, pretending as though your life hadn't capsized? Almásy : I once heard of a captain who wore a patch over a good eye. The men fought harder for him. Katharine Clifton : Promise me you'll come back for me. Almásy : I promise, I'll come back for you. I promise, I'll never leave you. Almásy : I am a just a bit of toast, my friend. Hana : There's a man downstairs. He brought us eggs. He might stay. Almásy : Why? Can he lay eggs? Hana : He's Canadian. Almásy : Why are people so happy when they collide with someone from the same place? What happened in Montreal when you passed a man in the street? Did you invite him to live with you? Almásy : There is no God, but I hope someone watches over you. Katharine Clifton : Will we be alright? Almásy : Yes. Yes, absolutly. Katharine Clifton : "Yes" is a comfort. "Absolutely" is not. Katharine Clifton : This - what is this? Almásy : It's a folk song. Katharine Clifton : Arabic. Almásy : No, no. It's Hungarian. My daijka sang it to me when I was a child growing up in Budapest. Katharine Clifton : It's beautiful. What's it about? Almásy : Szerelam means love. And the story, well, there's this Hungarian count. He's a wanderer. He's a fool. And for years he's on some kind of a quest for... who knows what. And then one day, he falls under the spell of a mysterious English woman. A harpy, who beats him, and hits him, he he becomes her slave, and he sews her clothes, and worships...

Dan Enright : Do you have any idea how much Bozo the Clown makes? Charles Van Doren : Well... we, we can't all be Bozo the Clown. [At a poker game] Dick Goodwin : I know you're lying. Charles Van Doren : Bluffing. The word is bluffing. Mark Van Doren : Why don't you just put it in the bank Charlie? That's what I've always done with my prize money. Charles Van Doren : It's just, you don't understand dad, it's, there are all sorts of tax implications Mark Van Doren : You Think I can't understand the concept of taxes. Charles Van Doren : At this level it's a bit more complicated. Mark Van Doren : And at my level? I never thought of myself as having a level. What level might that be? Charles Van Doren : I've stood on the shoulders of life and I've never gotten down into the dirt to build, to erect a foundation of my own. I've flown too high on borrowed wings. Everything came too easy. Albert Freedman : If you were a kid, would you wanna be an annoying Jewish guy with a side wall haircut? Charles Van Doren : Well I wanted to be Joe Dimaggio. Albert Freedman : Oh yeah, me too. Especially after he signed for that hundred grand. Jack Barry : Eleven points will bring you to 21 and you will be our new champion! Because of a disagreement with his commanding general, Ulysses S. Grant was virtually placed under arrest for a brief time early in 1862. Who was the commanding general of the Union army at that time? Tough question. Charles Van Doren : Just so oddly familiar. Movie Title: The Cormorant (1993) as John Talbot: John Talbot : Heaven does not interest mankind, it is too much like a never ending Sunday afternoon. It is Hell that captivates us. Movie Title: Onegin (1999) as Evgeny Onegin: Evgeny Onegin : You interpret my heart, my nature, as you wish to believe it. In truth, I have no secret longing to be saved from myself. Evgeny Onegin : If you but knew the flames that burn in me which I attempt to beat down with my reason. Evgeny Onegin : [writing to Tatyana] I can forsee the bitter scorn blazing at me from your proud eyes when you have read my secret sorrow. When we first met, through chance, I saw tenderness like a shooting star but did not dare to put my faith in it. Then Lensky fell, which parted us til further. Then I tore my heart away from everything I loved, rootless, estranged from all, I thought that liberty and peace would serve instead of happiness. My God, how wrong I was. How I have been punished. No, day by day to be with you, follow you everywhere, alive to every smile, each movement of your eyes, to dwell upon you soul's perfection, listen to your voice and grow faint with yearning. That is bliss and I'm cut off from it. My time is short, each day and hour is precious yet I just drag myself around in boredom. Everyday a desert unless when I wake up I know the day will bring a glimpse of you. If you but knew the flames that burn in me, which I attempt to beat down with my reason, but let it be. I cannot struggle against my feelings anymore, I am entirely in your will. Evgeny Onegin : When will the devil take me? Vladimir Lensky : And then you'll shoot me? Evgeny Onegin : Only if you're dull. Evgeny Onegin : Or do you all gather round the piano and sing off key? Tatyana Larina : Oh God. It hurts. Evgeny Onegin : Why does it hurt? Tatyana Larina : Because you are too late. Yes, you are too late Evgeny. Vladimir Lensky : Didn't I say don't be late? Evgeny Onegin : Yes. Vladimir Lensky : Then why are you late? Evgeny Onegin : Can't you see where this leads? A declaration, a kiss, a wedding, family, obligation, boredom, adultery. Movie Title: Sunshine (1999) as Ivan Sors / Adam Sors / Ignatz Sonnenschein: Ignatz Sonnenschein : You are entering a new world where you will certainly be successful because you have knowledge. Study has always been our religious duty as jews. Our exclusion from society has given us an ability to adapt to others and to sense connections between things that seem diverse. But if you feel you have power, you are mistaken. If you feel you have the right to put yourself ahead of others because you think you know more than they do, you are wrong. Never allow yourself to be driven into the sin of conceit. Conceit is the greatest of sins. The source of all other sins. Adam Sors : Never give up your religion. Not for God. God is present in all religions. But if your life becomes a struggle for acceptance, you'll always be unhappy. Religion may not be perfect, but it is a well built boat that can stay balanced and carry you to the other shore. Our life is nothing but a boat adrift on water balanced by permanent uncertainty. About the people whom you will judge, know this; All they do is struggle to find a kind of security. They're just people, like us. Therefore you mustn't judge them on the basis of appearance or hearsay. Trust no one. Examine all things yourself. Do not join with power. Dispise all rank. Do not be ostentatious with what is yours. Owning possessions and property ultimately comes to nothing. Possessions and property can be consumed by fire, swept away by flood, taken away by politics. Do not undertake what you do not know. This causes anxiety which makes you ill. Exercise discipline. Ivan Sors : For the first time in my life, I walked down the street without feeling like I was in hiding. My great grandfather Emmanuel must have been the last Sonnenschein to feel like this. I knew the only way to find meaning in my life, my only chance in life, would be to account for it. My grandmother's words return to me; "Try to photograph what's beautiful in life." By the time I finish this story, the third tragic misadventure of the 20th century was over. After the monarchy and fascist rule, the communist regime also went up in smoke. I remembered the recipe book that we had lost and suddenly realized that the family secret was not to be found on its pages. It was preserved by my grandmother. The only one in our family who had the gift of breathing freely. |
