General Alexiev: Your Majesty, I have an urgent communique. A riot in Saint Petersburg! Tsar Nicholas II: Riot? This cannot be, we are at war! This must be some joke! General Alexiev: No joke, sire. Workers are on strike and people are raiding warehouses. The Army refuses to open fire on them. Tsar Nicholas II: Telegraph this to the Military Governor. All riots are to be stopped at once. Martial law is to be declared. The Duma is to be dissolved. I return to Saint Petersburg immediately. General Alexiev: I only hope there is someone in Saint Petersburg to read our orders. – Nicholas and Alexandra Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
[The Tsar is having coffee with a medical officer; contemplating abdication] Tsar Nicholas II: Tell me, Dr. Federov, if my son, as the future Tsar, were to stay behind to be educated in Russia while my family traveled abroad, how much longer would he be likely to live? Doctor Federov: Deprived of your love and care, it is hard to say. There are no real statistics on this. It is a matter of luck and chance, Your Majesty. One could hope he could live a long and normal life, as we do for everyone. However, given my speculation on his medical issues, I would say...twenty would be a good age. – Nicholas and Alexandra Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
[The tsar is teaching gardening to his children.] Tsar Nicholas II: In a few months, these will be turnips. Grand Duchess Anastasia: [giggling] They are carrots. Tsarevitch Alexei: And when they grow, will we still be around to eat them? – Nicholas and Alexandra Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Tsar Nicholas II: All we do is dream of England. We have been very happy there. Alexander Kerensky: England will not accept you. Tsar Nicholas II: Won't accept? King George is my cousin! Alexander Kerensky: He does not seem to want you, either. He has got his own station to worry about. Tsar Nicholas II: Yes, I must not make trouble for... Alexander Kerensky: Neither will the French. They are at war to save liberty. You were an autocrat. Tsar Nicholas II: Damn it! I am a father with a family! Is there not any way? How about Finland? It is only thirty miles away! Alexander Kerensky: I would never get you out of Saint Petersburg alive. Are you aware that I am all that stands between you and the block? You will be safe under my administration, you have my promise on that. There is blood enough on everybody's hands; I will not have yours on mine. A fine mess Russia in in. Treasury is empty. The Radicals want this, the Socialists want that, the Kadets want the other thing. The Bolsheviks want this, the Mensheviks want that. I could not throw them in jail even if I wanted to! You had power but no laws; I have laws but no power. Tsar Nicholas II: I wish I could help. Alexander Kerensky: You had your chances. I sure hope I get mine. – Nicholas and Alexandra Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
British Ambassador to Russia: Is Russia committed to the war effort? Alexander Kerensky: Indeed. French Ambassador to Russia: There is talk about Russians demanding Russia's withdrawal from the war. Alexander Kerensky: That is the mostly the Bolsheviks. But do not worry about that; the Bolsheviks only have six seats in the Duma, nobody takes them seriously. U.S. Ambassador to Russia: Washington is prepared to grant a loan of several hundred million rubles to aid your fledling government, but that is contingent upon Russia's military involvement. No war, no loan. [Kerensky is annoyed by the use of American taxpayers' money to sway Russian opinion] Alexander Kerensky: You cannot buy Russia! We will fight! But not to get your tax money. We have lost so much already. U.S. Ambassador to Russia: If I were you, I would put this Lenin quietly in jail. Alexander Kerensky: I cannot do that just because there has been a bad history in Russia about that sort of thing. It is has been far too easy for the leaders to throw people in jail. U.S. Ambassador to Russia: I have read his speeches. Surely you have to. Alexander Kerensky: I cannot throw a man in jail for what he thinks! Of all the people of the world, you Americans should understand that best! It is in your Bill of Rights. U.S. Ambassador to Russia: Lenin wants to overthrow the government by force. We Americans call that treason. – Nicholas and Alexandra Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
[Royal family is being prepared for their exile into Siberia] Grand Duchess Marie: Look! I found Tobolsk on the map! Count Fredericks: Now remember, girls, you are princesses. You are to carry yourselves as such at all times. If I hear of any misbehavior, I shall be deeply upset. Grand Duchess Tatiana: Do not worry, Vladimir, we will be good. [Count Fredericks tries to put on a brave face as he is aware of the possible final fate of the Romanovs. The Tsar's daughters give him a group hug] Count Fredericks: Help Mama and Papa. Alexander Kerensky: I have assigned Colonel Koblinsky to watch over you until I can arrange for a way to safely exile you. His orders carry all the weight of mine. Tsaritsa Alexandra: Nicky, this is horrible! I want my clothes, I want my cosmetics, I want my jewelry! [The Tsar holds his wife and admonishes her to be strong] Tsar Nicholas II: Dear, those are only things. Things get broken, they get mislaid, they get dusty. The important fact is we have each other. Alexander Kerensky: Frau Romanova, you have kept your head. I recommend you show gratitude for that. – Nicholas and Alexandra Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
[German Embassy to Switzerland. Lenin, who is handcuffed to a chair, is being interrogated by a German consul, who is reading a dossier] German Consul: Ah, let us see. Name: Vladimir Ilich Ulyanov. Born in Simbirsk in 1870. Attended the University of Kazan but was expelled for participating in anti-monarchist protests. Older brother hanged in 1887 for the attempted assination of the present Tsar's father. Married, no children. Does not smoke, and does not allow his colleagues to smoke either. [The Consul blows a ring of cigar smoke in Lenin's face] Lenin: The Tsar should have had your secret police. My party will make a study of your methods. German Consul: This dossier failed to mention your sense of humor. Let us stop and think of the absurdity of your idea. You want the German government, which is at war with Russia, to smuggle you into your native country which banished you, because you claim you can single-handedly end the war? Lenin: My government will immediately make peace with Berlin. German Consul: I never knew you had so much authority. Lenin: There is power just lying in the streets, up for grabs! Kerensky won't last, he is too busy continuing Russian involvement in the war and the people are desperate for peace! I shall give them peace. With Germany finished with the Eastern Front do you know how many regiments you could transfer to the Western Front? German Consul: And now you are asking me for classified information. A Marxist wanting to use the Kaiser? Are you aware that Germany has locked up more Bolsheviks than any other country in the world? But then again, war causes strange alliances. Perhaps the Kaiser...could use a Marxist. – Nicholas and Alexandra Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
[October Revolution. Bolsheviks make plans to capture infrastructure and government buildings. Kerensky and his staff are trapped inside their boardroom] Alexander Kerensky: They captured the police station? Exactly how powerful are the Bolsheviks? Government Official: Quite. We made a serious mistake in heeding our allies and continuing the war. The citizenry wanted out of this war. Lenin offered them peace. Alexander Kerensky: What would it require to smash them? General Alexiev: One battalion, sir. But I do not know if I have that many soldiers. At least not ones I can trust. Russian Lieutenant: Look out the window! [Provisional Government peers out window to a nearby naval base where a cruiser is shining its lights directly on their building] Russian Lieutenant: The cruiser Aurora. And she has her guns aimed directly at us! – Nicholas and Alexandra Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
[Duma. It is now entirely full of Bolsheviks and has been renamed the Politburo] Lenin: The Provisional Government has fallen! We now have power! At long last, we will build our new world order. [Freeze frame as Lenin's face changes into a bust and the Soviet anthem plays] – Nicholas and Alexandra Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Larry: [noticing that it's almost morning and sighs as Teddy approaches his inanimate horse and turns to face him] I guess this is it. Teddy: Indeed. And I know young Nick will do great things. Larry: Yeah, he's uh... Ready to take on the world all by himself. Teddy: Then you've done your job. You've done your job. It's time for your next adventure. Larry: [feeling uneasy] I have no idea what I'm gonna do tomorrow. Teddy: How exciting. Larry: [smiles sadly as he watches Teddy mount his horse] Bye, Teddy. Teddy: Farewell, Lawrence. [draws his sword; it looks as though he's gone dormant, and then shouts at Larry, who jumps, causing Teddy to laugh] Bully! Gotcha! [laughs] Smile, my boy. [looks out at the illuminated window] It's sunrise. [Larry looks at the window as Teddy returns to his usual pose, and looks back just in time to see Teddy go dormant permanently, marking the end of him and the other exhibits coming to life at night] – Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Mrs. Claypool: Mr. Driftwood, three months ago you promised to put me into society. In all that time, you've done nothing but draw a very handsome salary. Driftwood: You think that's nothing, huh? How many men do you suppose are drawing a handsome salary nowadays? Why, you can count them on the fingers of one hand, my good woman. Mrs. Claypool: I'm not your good woman! Driftwood: Don't say that, Mrs. Claypool. I don't care what your past has been. To me, you'll always be my good woman. Because I love you. There. I didn't mean to tell you, but you...you dragged it out of me. I love you. Mrs. Claypool: It's rather difficult to believe that when I find you dining with another woman. Driftwood: That woman? Do you know why I sat with her? Because she reminded me of you. Mrs. Claypool: Really? Driftwood: Of course, that's why I'm sitting here with you. Because you remind me of you. Your eyes, your throat, your lips! Everything about you reminds me of you. Except you. How do you account for that? If she figures that one out, she's good. Mrs. Claypool: Mr. Driftwood. I think we'd better keep everything on a business basis. Driftwood: How do you like that? Every time I get romantic with you, you want to talk business. I don't know, there's something about me that brings out the business in every woman. – A Night at the Opera Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Driftwood: Could he sail tomorrow? Fiorello: You pay him enough money, he could sail yesterday. How much you pay him? Driftwood: Well, I don't know... [muttering to himself] Let's see, a thousand dollars a night... I'm entitled to a small profit... How about ten dollars a night? Fiorello: Ten? Ten dolla— ha ha ha ha ha! I'll take it... Driftwood: All right, but remember, I get 10% for negotiating the deal. Fiorello: Yes, and I get 10% for being the manager. How much does that leave him? Driftwood: That leaves him— uh, $8.00.

Of course he won't be able to eat, but he can live like a prince. However, out of that $3.00, you know, he'll have to pay an income tax... Fiorello: Ah, there's income tax... Driftwood: ...there's a federal tax, and a state tax, and a city tax, and a street tax, and a sewer tax. Fiorello: How much does this come to? Driftwood: Well, I figure if he doesn't sing too often, he can break even. Fiorello: All right, we take it. – A Night at the Opera Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Fiorello: Hey, wait, wait. What does this say here, this thing here? Driftwood: Oh, that? Oh, that's the usual clause that's in every contract. That just says, uh, it says, uh, if any of the parties participating in this contract are shown not to be in their right mind, the entire agreement is automatically nullified. Fiorello: Well, I don't know... Driftwood: It's all right. That's, that's in every contract. That's, that's what they call a sanity clause. Fiorello: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! You can't fool me. There ain't no Sanity Clause! – A Night at the Opera Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Henderson: Hey, I think these fellows are phonies! Driftwood: What's that you say? Henderson: You heard me. Driftwood: Did you hear what he said?

They say they've never been so insulted in their life and they absolutely refuse to stay here! Mayor: No, no, please. He didn't mean it. Tell them he didn't mean it. Driftwood: [confers with the aviators] Of course, you know this means war! Mayor: [to Henderson] Now see what you've done! – A Night at the Opera Movie Quote	added 5 years ago

Driftwood: That's nothing; my alarm clock is set for eight. That doesn't prove a thing. – A Night at the Opera Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Henderson: Who are you talking to? Driftwood: I was talking to myself, and there's nothing you can do about it, I've had three of the best doctors in the East. Henderson: Well, I certainly heard somebody say something. Driftwood: Oh, it's sheer folly on your part. Henderson: What's this? Driftwood: Why, that's a fire escape.
