Seven

John Doe (Kevin Spacey): We see a deadly sin on every street corner, in every home, and we tolerate it. We tolerate it because it's common, it's trivial. We tolerate it morning, noon, and night. Well, not anymore. I'm setting the example. And what I've done is going to be puzzled over, and studied, and followed... forever.

William Somerset (Morgan Freeman): I just don't think I can continue to live in a place that embraces and nurtures apathy as if it was virtue.
David Mills (Brad Pitt): You're no different. You're no better.
William Somerset: I didn't say I was different or better. I'm not. Hell, I sympathize; I sympathize completely. Apathy is the solution. I mean, it's easier to lose yourself in drugs than it is to cope with life. It's easier to steal what you want than it is to earn it. It's easier to beat a child than it is to raise it. Hell, love costs: it takes effort and work.

Dr. Beardsley (Richard Portnow): He's experienced about as much pain and suffering as anyone I've encountered, give or take, and he still has Hell to look forward to.

John Doe: Realize detective, the only reason that I'm here right now is that I wanted to be.
David Mills: No, no, we would have got you eventually.
John Doe: Oh really? So, what were you doing? Biding your time? Toying with me? Allowing five innocent people to die until you felt like springing your trap? Tell me, what was the indisputable evidence you were going to use on me right before I walked up to you and put my hands in the air?

John Doe:

What sick ridiculous puppets we are
and what gross little stage we dance on
What fun we have dancing and fucking
Not a care in the world
Not knowing that we are nothing
We are not what was intended.

Detective William Somerset: Ernest Hemingway once wrote, "The world is a fine place and worth fighting for." I agree with the second part.

Searching for Bobby Fischer

Fred: He's better at this than I've ever been at anything in my life. He's better at this than you'll ever be, at anything. My son has a gift. He has a gift, and when you acknowledge that, then maybe we will have something to talk about.

Josh: Maybe it's better not to be the best. Then you can lose and it's OK.

*Shallow Grave

Alex Law (Ewan McGregor): When was the last time you heard these exact words: "You are the sunshine of my life"?

Alex Law: [to the Goth girl] When you get up in the morning, how do you decide what shade of black to wear?

David Stephens: Victory is the same as defeat. It's giving in to destructive competitive urges.

*Shawshank Redemption, The

Red (Morgan Freeman): The first night's the toughest, no doubt about it. They march you in naked as the day you were born, skin burning and half blind from that delousing shit they throw on you, and when they put you in that cell...and those bars slam home...that's when you know it's for real. A whole life blown away in the blink of an eye. Nothing left but all the time in the world to think about it.

Red: The sisters have taken a liking to you, especially Boggs.
Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins): I don't suppose it would help any if I explained to them I not homosexual.
Red: Neither are they, you have to be human first. They don't qualify.

Brooks: Easy peasy japanesey.

Red: These walls are funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. Enough time passes, gets so you depend on them. That's institutionalized.

Red: They send you here for life, that's exactly what they take. The part that counts, anyway.

Red: I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about.Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't expressed in words, and it makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a great place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free.

[On playing opera records in the prison.]
Andy Dufresne: Here's where it makes the most sense. You need it so you don't forget.
Red: Forget?
Andy Dufresne: Forget that there are places in the world that aren't made out of stone. That there's a - there's something inside that they can't get to, that they can't touch, that's yours.
Red: What are you talking about?
Andy Dufresne: Hope.

Andy Dufresne: You know the funny thing is on the outside I was and honest man, straight as an arrow. I had to come to prison to become a crook.

Andy: I guess it comes down to a simple choice really: get busy living or get busy dying.

Red: Sometimes it makes me sad though, Andy being gone. I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.

Red reading a note left by Andy: Remember, Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.

Red: I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.

*She's So Lovely

Eddie (Sean Penn): You know what dancing does? Dancing sets up memories for when we get old. Dancing it...it keeps you in shape. Dancing makes your eyes alive instead of dead.

Eddie: We were made for each other. We're both banged up.

Shorty (Harry Dean Stanton): Nobody brought a piece. It's not that kind of an evening.

Singles

Steve Dunne (Scott Campbell): I just happened to be nowhere near your neighborhood.

Janet Livermore (Bridget Fonda): I've always been able to do this, break up with someone and never look back. Being alone: there's a certain dignity to it.

Janet Livermore: Somewhere around 25, "bizarre" becomes "immature."

David Bailey (Jim True): Tonight I'll be the super me.
Steve Dunne: What if the super you meets the super her and the super her rejects the super you?
David Bailey: Then it's no problem.
Steve Dunne: Uh-huh Why?
David Bailey: Because it was never you, it was just an act. I live my life like a French movie Steve.

Steve : My dad left home when I was eight. You know what he said to me? Have fun, stay single. I was eight.

Samantha: It's really human of you to listen to all my bullshit.

Geek: How's it going?
Samantha: How's what going?
Geek: You know - things, life, whatnot.
Samantha: Life is not whatnot, and it's none of your business.

Geek: By night's end, I predict me and her will interface.

Samantha: When you don't have anything, you don't have anything to lose. Right?

Samantha: This is Farmer Fred.
Geek: Ted.
Samantha: Oh, I'm sorry, Farmer Ted.
Geek: I'm not really a farmer. I'm a freshman.

Geek: Just answer me one question.
Samantha: Yes, you're a total faggot.
Geek: Ha ha ha. That's not the question.

Geek: You know, I'm getting input here that I'm reading as relatively hostile.
Samantha: Go to hell.
Geek: VERY hostile!

Samantha: I loathe the bus. There has to be a more dignified mode of transportation.

Geek: So, what's your story? I mean, you got a guy, or...?
Samantha: Yes, three big ones, and they lust wimp blood so quit bugging me or I'll sic them all over your weenie ass!

Dong: Automobile?. . . RRRRRrrrrrr ScrEEEEEChh! Lake! Big Lake!

Sleepers

Lorenzo (Jason Patric): This is a true story of how friendships run deeper than blood. This is my story of the only three friends in my life that have truly mattered. Two of them were killers that never made it past the age of 35. The other is a non-practicing attorney, living within the pain of his past, too afraid to let go, finding reassurance instead of confronting its horror. I was the only one that could speak for them, and for the children we were.

Lorenzo: I couldn't look at him. He might look right through the fear and the shame, right through to the truth.

Mike: We can eat hot dogs or we can eat air.

Tony: You don't honestly believe that?
Charlie: Tony she's a klepto! All right? Listen, to this day, I still don't know where my cat is.
Tony: Charlie, every time you meet a nice girl that you can get close to, you come up with some paranoid reason why you should break up with her.
Charlie: That's not true. I broke up with those girls for very good reasons.
Tony: Oh really.
Charlie: Yes!
Tony: Really. What about Jill?
Charlie: She was in the mafia.
Tony: She was in the mafia.
Charlie: Yes, the Cosanostra. The whole time we went out she didn't tell me what she did for a living.
Tony: Charlie she was unemployed! She didn't have a job!
Charlie: Ah, that's just the perfect cover now isn't it?
Tony: All right, all right. What about Pam?

Stuart: Head, paper, now! Move that melon of yours and get the paper, if you can. Hauling that gargantuan cranium about. I'm not kidding that boy's head is like Sputnik; spherical but quite pointy at parts! Aye, now that was offsides, now wasn't it? He'll be crying himself to sleep tonight, on his huge pillow.

Harriet Michaels: Do you actually like haggis?

Charlie: I like the night life. I like to boogie.
