Abigail: You told my assistant that this was an urgent matter? Ben: Yes, ma'am. Well, I'm gonna get straight to the point. Someone's gonna steal the Declaration of Independence. Riley: It's true. Abigail: I think I'd better put you gentlemen in touch with the FBI... Ben: We've been to the FBI. Abigail: And...? Riley: They assured us that the Declaration cannot possibly be stolen. Abigail: They're right. Ben: My friend and I are less certain. However, if we were given the privilege of examining the document... [Abigail eyes him curiously] we would be able to tell you for certain if it were actually in any danger. Abigail: What do you think you're gonna find? Ben: We believe that there's an... encryption on the back. Abigail: An encryption, like a code? Ben: Yes, ma'am. Abigail: Of what? Ben: A... cartograph. Abigail: A map? Ben: Yes, ma'am. Abigail: A map of what? Ben: The location of... [clears throat] of hidden items, of historic and intrinsic value. Abigail: A treasure map? Riley: That's where we lost the FBI. Abigail: You're treasure hunters, aren't you? Ben: We're more like treasure protectors. Abigail: Mr. Brown, I have personally seen the back of the Declaration of Independence, and I promise you the only thing there is a notation that reads, "Original Declaration of Independence", dated... Ben: July 4, 1776, yes, ma'am. Abigail: But no map. Ben: It's invisible. Abigail: [sarcastically] Oh, right. Riley: And that's where we lost the Department of Homeland Security. – National Treasure Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Riley: If it's any consolation, you have me convinced. Ben: It's not. Riley: I was thinking, what if we go public, plaster the story all over the Internet? It's not like we have our reputations to worry about. Although, I don't think that's exactly gonna scare Ian away. Ben: A hundred and eighty years of searching, and I'm three feet away. Of all the ideas that became the United States, there's a line here that's at the heart of all the others: "But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security." People don't talk that way anymore. Riley: Beautiful, huh? No idea what you just said. Ben: It means, if there's something wrong, those who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action. I'm gonna steal it. Riley: What? Ben: I'm gonna steal the Declaration of Independence. – National Treasure Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Riley: OK Ben. Pay attention. I've brought you to the Library of Congress. Why? Because it's the biggest library in the world. Over twenty million books, and they're all saying the same exact thing: listen to Riley. What we have here is an entire layout of the Archives: sort of builder's blueprints. We've got construction manuals, phone lines, water, and sewage. It's all right here. [Riley continues in voiceover as the camera moves around the archives] Now, when the Declaration is on display, it is surrounded by guards...and video monitors... and little families from Iowa... and little kids on their eighth-grade field trip. And underneath an inch of bulletproof glass is an army of sensors and heat monitors that will go off if someone gets too close with a high fever. Now, when it's not on display, it is lowered into a four-foot-thick concrete, steel-plated vault that happens to be equipped with an electronic combination lock and biometric access-denial systems. Ben: You know, Thomas Edison tried and failed nearly 2,000 times to develop the carbonized cotton-thread filament for the incandescent light bulb. Riley: Edison? Ben: And when asked about it, he said "I didn't fail; I found out 2,000 ways how not to make a light bulb," but he only needed one way to make it work. [sets down a book in front of Riley] The Preservation Room. Enjoy. Go ahead. Do you know what the preservation room is for? Riley: Delicious jams and jellies? Ben: No, that's where they clean, repair, and maintain all the documents and their storage housings when they are not on display or in the vault. Now, when the case needs work, they take it out of the vault and directly across the hall and into the Preservation Room. The best time for us or Ian to steal it would be during the gala this weekend, when the guards are distracted by the VIPs upstairs; but we'll make our way to the Preservation Room, where there is much less security. Riley: Well... uh... Ian... Preservation, hmm. Well, this might be possible. Ben: It might. – National Treasure Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
[Abigail is freaking out, thinking that Ian has the Declaration] Ben: They don't have it. [Pulls the Declaration out to show her] See, now can you please stop shouting? Abigail: Give me that! Ben: You're still shouting. And it's really starting to annoy. You would do well, Dr. Chase, to be a bit more civilized in this instance. Abigail: If that's the real Declaration, what did they get? Ben: A souvenir. I thought it might be a good idea to have a duplicate, turns out I was right. Actually, I had to pay for the real one and the duplicate, so you owe me $35, plus tax. Riley: Genius. Abigail: Verdammt! Give me that! Ben: You know something? You're shouting again. Riley: I'm pretty sure she was swearing, too. Ben: Well, I probably deserved that. – National Treasure Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Abigail: What do you see? Ben: 2:22. Abigail: What time is it now? Clothing Store Clerk: Almost 3. Abigail: [sighs] We missed it. Riley: No, we didn't. We didn't miss it because... you don't know this? I know something about history that you don't know. Ben: I'd be very excited to learn about it, Riley. Riley: Hold on one second, let me just take in this moment. [takes a deep breath] This is cool. Is this how you feel all the time? Well, except now, of course-- Abigail: Riley! Riley: All right! What I know is that daylight savings weren't established until World War I. If it's 3 p.m. now that means that in 1776 it would be 2 p.m. Ben: Riley, you're a genius. Riley: Do you actually know who the first person to come up with the idea of daylight savings time was? Abigail and Ben: Benjamin Franklin. [Riley stomps his foot in disappointment] – National Treasure Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Ian: Hello, Ben. How are you? Ben: Um, chained to a desk. Ian: Sorry to hear that. I want you to meet me on the flight deck of the USS Intrepid. You know where that is? Ben: New York. Ian: Meet me there at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. And bring those glasses you found at Independence Hall. Yeah, I know about the glasses. We can take a look at the Declaration, and then you can be on your way. Ben: And I'm supposed to believe that? Ian: I told you from the start, I only wanted to borrow it. You can have it. And the glasses. I'll even throw in the pipe from the Charlotte. Ben: I'll be there. Ian: And tell the FBI agents listening in on this call if they want the Declaration back, and not just a box of confetti, then you'll come alone. – National Treasure Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
[Ian wants the next clue] Patrick Gates: It's part of Freemason teachings. In King Solomon's temple, there was a winding staircase. It signified the journey that had to be made to find the light of truth. The lantern is the clue. Ian: What does it mean? Ben: Boston. It's Boston. Patrick Gates: The Old North Church, where Thomas Newton hung a lantern in the steeple, to signal Paul Revere that the British were coming. One if by land, two if by sea. One lantern. Under the winding staircase of the steeple, that's where we have to look. Ian: Thank you. Patrick Gates: Hey, you have to take us with you. Ian: Why? So you can escape in Boston? Besides, with you out of the picture, there's less baggage to carry. Patrick Gates: What if we lied? Ian: Did you? Ben: What if there's another clue? Ian: Then I'll know right where to find you. See you, Ben. – National Treasure Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Riley: [After they find the treasure] They offered you ten percent, man. Ten percent. Ben: Tell you what- next time we find a treasure that redefines history for all mankind, you call the shots. Riley: What do you care? You got the girl. Enjoy your spoils while I sit on one percent. Half of one percent, actually. [Jumps into red Ferrari] Ben: [Looking at Ferrari] I'm sorry for your suffering, Riley. – National Treasure Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Riley: Start the car. Abigail: [starts car] Riley: Put it in gear. Abigail: [puts it in gear, then notices the policeman staring at them] Uh-oh. Policeman: What’s the problem? It's clear. Let's go! Riley: We're going to jail... [Abigail opens the trunk of the car] Policeman: I want to run a check... [Abigail starts driving] Abigail: GET IN! HANG ON! [Ben jumps into the back seat from behind] Riley: HE’S IN! GO! Abigail: HANG ON! [they fly over a bump] WHOA! Okay, we can do this. Ben: DRIVE, DRIVE, DRIVE! Abigail: Okay. [they approach a closing barricade] I don't think so! Riley: WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! [they narrowly manage to get past the barricade] – National Treasure: Book of Secrets Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Ben Gates: Where's the Ferrari? Riley: IRS impounded it. Ben Gates: The IRS? Riley: Funny story. My accountant set up a "corporation" [winks] on an island that "didn't exist" and assured me "that's how rich people do it". Then I got audited and slapped with a Huge fine... Plus interest! ...Wanna know what taxes are on five million dollars? Six million dollars. But enough about me. What's new with you Ben Gates: Well, my girlfriend kicked me out, I'm living with my dad, and my family killed president Lincoln. Riley: [smiles sarcastically] All right. Ben Gates: I need your help. – National Treasure: Book of Secrets Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Pop Fisher: I'd have walked away from baseball and I'd have bought a farm. Roy Hobbs: Nothing like a farm. Nothing like being around animals, fixing things. There's nothing like being in the field with the corn and the winter wheat. The greenest stuff you ever saw. Pop Fisher: You know my mama wanted me to be a farmer. Roy Hobbs: My dad wanted me to be a baseball player. Pop Fisher: Well you're better than any player I ever had. And you're the best God damn hitter I ever saw. Suit up. – The Natural Movie Quote	added 5 years ago

Wayne Gale: We are talking about nothing less than television history. The first sit-down interview with the most charismatic serial killer ever. This is Wallace and Noriega. This is Elton John confessing his bisexuality to Rolling Stone. This is the fucking Nixon-Frost interviews. Time's running out, mate. What's the answer? Mickey: I say go for it. – Natural Born Killers Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Mickey: But I came to the direction I need a gun. So, the next day I started off early for work, and I'm gonna stop by a gun shop and pick up a little home protection. I walked into the place and had never seen so many guns in all my life. So, I'm looking around, then this really nice sales guy comes up to me. His name was Warren. I'll never forget his name. He was really nice. Anyway, Warren showed me all these different models of guns. Magnums, automatics, pistols, Walters. And I ask to see a shotgun. He brings me a Mossberg pump action shotgun. As soon as I held that baby in my hands, I knew what I was gonna do. It felt so good. It felt like it was a part of me. They had a mirror in the store. I looked at myself holding it, and looked so fucking good, I immediately bought it. Bought a bunch of boxes of ammo. Turned my car around, drove to Mallory's house, we took care of Mallory's parents, packed up the car, and we were off. Everybody thought I'd gone crazy. The cops, my mom, everybody. But you see, they all missed the point of the story. I wasn't crazy. But when I was holding the shotgun, it all became clear. I realized for the first time my one true calling in life. Wayne Gale: What's that? Mickey: Shit, man ... I'm a natural born killer. – Natural Born Killers Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Wayne Gale: So tell me. How can you look at an ordinary person, an innocent guy with kids, and then shoot him to death? I mean, how can you bring yourself to do that? Mickey: Innocent? Who-who's innocent, Wayne? Are you innocent? Wayne Gale: I'm innocent? Yes, I am. Of murder? Definitely. Mickey: It's just murder. All God's creatures do it. You look in the forests and you see species killing other species, our species killing all species including the forests, and we just call it industry, not murder. But I know a lot of people who deserve to die. Wayne Gale: Why do they deserve to die? Mickey: I believe they got something in their past, some sin, some awful secret thing. A lot of people walking around out there already dead. They just need to be put out of their misery. That's where I come in. Fate's messenger. – Natural Born Killers Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Wayne Gale: You just said an instant of purity was preferable to a lifetime of lies. I don't understand. What's so pure about forty-eight dead bodies? Mickey: You'll never understand. Me and you, Wayne, we're not even the same species. I used to be you; then I evolved. From where you're standing, you're a man. From where I'm standing, you're an ape. You're not even an ape. You're a media person. Media's like the weather, only it's man-made weather. Murder? It's pure. You're the one made it impure. You're buying and selling fear. You say "why?" I say "why bother?" – Natural Born Killers Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Son: What the hell is that? Father: A bitch out of hell, son. Take a run at her kiddo! – Natural Born Killers Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Nausicaä: Lord Yupa! Yupa: [taking Nausicaä in his arms and laughing] Nausicaä! I didn't recognize you. Nausicaä: It's been over a year now. It's great to see you. Yupa: Thank you for helping me with that ohm. You've certainly mastered that glider of yours. Nausicaä: You think so? Father says I have a long way to-- [notices something squirming in Yupa's pouch] Yupa: Oh, yes. I forgot all about this little fellow. [opens the pouch] He's the reason I got in trouble with the ohm. [a small canine-like creature emerges, looking about with a fearful look.] Nausicaä: [fascinated] Wow! Is that a fox-squirrel? I haven't seen one. Yupa: I hadn't either. I saw an insect carrying him off and I mistook him for a human baby. I had no choice but to use my gun. Nausicaä: [taking off a glove and holding out her hand to the fox-squirrel] Oh! So that's why the ohm was so angry with you. Yupa: He's quite spirited. Apparently, he didn't inhale too much of the jungle's poison. Better not touch him; even the babies are vicious. Nausicaä: [to the fox-squirrel, gently] Come on. It's okay. [The fox-squirrel jumps on her arm and runs up her shoulders.] Yupa: Careful. Nausicaä: [to the fox-squirrel] There's nothing to fear. [holds out a finger] Nothing to fear. [The fox-squirrel bites her finger. Nausicaä flinches ever so slightly and Lord Yupa looks on with concern. Nausicaä simply smiles at Lord Yupa.] See? Nothing to fear. [The fox-squirrel doesn't let go and growls. Nausicaä looks at him.] Right? [After a moment, the fox-squirrel calms down and licks at where he was biting.] You were just a little scared, weren't you? [She laughs and starts to spin around, and the fox-squirrel runs up and down her arms playfully.] He's perfect. Will you let me keep him, Lord Yupa? Yupa: Of course, certainly. Nausicaä: [laughs and cuddles with the fox-squirrel] Thank you! [runs to Yupa's horseclaws] Kai! Kui! Do you remember me? Yupa: [to himself] What a mysterious power she has. Nausicaä: You must be tired after running from that ohm. [one of the horseclaws licks her cheek as she laughs] Yupa: So, how's your family, Nausicaä? [Nausicaä hesitates with a sad look.] What's wrong? Nausicaä: It's... Father can't fly anymore. Yupa: [surprised] King Jihl? So the jungle's poisons are taking their toll... Nasuicaä: Yes. Father says it's the fate of all of us who live near the jungle. Yupa: [places a hand on Nausicaä's shoulder] I'm sorry. I should have come sooner. Nausicaä: No, I'm just glad you could come at all. – Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
[After minutes of swimming underwater, Daniel and Susan surface. Susan looks around for the boat, but cannot see it.] Susan: Daniel, where's the boat? Daniel: It's a good question. [points to two faraway boats, each in a different direction] I guess it's one of those. Susan: You've gotta be kidding me! Daniel: It better be one of those. Susan: Well, which one do you think? Daniel: I don't know. [The two wave to one of the boats] Susan: Did you get us lost? Daniel: No. Susan: So we're in the right spot? Daniel: Yes. I'm 90% sure. Susan: 90%? Why only 90%? Daniel: 'Cause the boat's not here. – Open Water Movie Quote	added 5 years ago

I was on a plane that almost crashed, I came this close to being killed by an angry mob, and now look at my uniform! It's covered in elephant crap! So you really think I give a damn whether or not you call General Richardson, and tell him I slept with his wife, huh? Doyle': (stops working on the truck, turns around, almost laughing) You slept with the wife of General "Kill-'em-all-and-let-God-sort-them-out" Richardson? Poole: I thought it was his daughter. Doyle: Oh yeah, he would've been fine with that. – Operation Dumbo Drop Movie Quote	added 5 years ago

Poole: You know something? This country's really beautiful. Farley: Yeah. Kind of reminds me of home. Poole: (bitingly) Oh, really? How exactly does this remind you of home? Farley: Well... Poole: No, Farley, tell me, what is it? The spirit-crushing humidity? The disease-bearing insects? Or is it that special feeling that comes from the knowledge that at any given moment, a sniper's bullet could come spiralling towards your forehead? – Operation Dumbo Drop Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Cahill: What if the NVA isn't the first to come along here? What if it's a bunch of school children walking home? Did you ever think about that? No! Why? Because guys like you don't think things through! (slaps Doyle in the forehead) Doyle: Me? What about you? You've got six people and an elephant risking their lives so that you can go home with a clear conscience. You're afraid that when you're standing up on that rooftop with your brother in Fort Lauderdale, looking back over your sparkling military career, you're not gonna like what you see! So you want to do one good thing before you go, which is great! But your one good thing isn't pulling a kid out of a burning building, or diving on a grenade, it's this! And because it's this, it involves us! But you didn't think about that, did you? No! Why? Because guys like you don't think things through! – Operation Dumbo Drop Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
