Capt. Lockert: You're taking a wickedly unfair advantage of me. I only thought I was doing what was expected of me. Fran: What I expected of you? Capt. Lockert: Not you alone, Fran. There's a tradition about this sort of thing. I thought civilized people knew where an innocent flirtation stops. For a civilized woman who's been married as long as you have, you're making a great deal of a small matter. Fran: It's not a small matter to me. I offer you my most abject apology. Capt. Lockert: If I might offer you one small word of advice, give up starting things you're not prepared to finish. It's quite evident they only lead you out of your depth. Fran: You think I'm not equal to your impudence? Look at the exhibition you're making of yourself. Capt. Lockert: I? Any modern schoolgirl could compete with this situation. You've got the most childish misconception of yourself. You think you're a woman of the world, and you're nothing of the sort. – Dodsworth Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Fran: You've got to take care of me. You really have, Sam. I don't trust myself. I'm afraid of myself. Sam: You're afraid, sweetheart? Fran: Yes, I am. I'm just a wooly American like you after all. If you ever catch me trying to be anything else, will you beat me? Sam: Well, will I have to beat you very long at a time? Fran: Oh, Sam, come in and finish your breakfast. – Dodsworth Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Edith: I hadn't realized it was your birthday. Fran: No? Wish I hadn't. No woman enjoys getting to be 35. Edith: When you're my age, you look back on 35 as a most agreeable time of life. Fran: I hope I look as young as you do when I'm your age. Edith: You're almost sure to, my dear. – Dodsworth Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Fran: Why don't you go home? Sam: Without you? Fran: Yeah. Get yourself a new lease on life and come back here and join me. Why don't ya? Sam: I wouldn't want to go home without you. Fran: I can see you're not enjoying yourself in Paris. I'm only thinking of your pleasure. If you've got a mind, you wouldn't ask me to leave. I just made nice friends. Sam: I don't think they're so nice. I don't, and I don't see what you see in them. ... Fran: They all belong to the smartest crowd in Paris. Sam: You think the real thing in Paris would hang out with a couple of hicks like us? What else are we? I'm just an ordinary American businessman and I married the daughter of a Zenith brewer who's flying high these days. Fran: I suppose you know what you mean by that. Sam: Why won't you sit at a cafe with me? Fran: Smart people don't. Sam: I'm not smart. Fran: I am. Sam: You ought to be smart enough not to care what people think. – Dodsworth Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Fran: Oh, you're hopeless. You haven't the mistiest notion of civilization here. Sam: Yeah, well, maybe I don't think so much of it, though. Maybe clean hospitals, concrete highways, and no soldiers along the Canadian border come near my idea of civilization. There are 20 million automobiles in America. Now, I've contributed something to every single one of them from my own personal civilization. And if that isn't more than knowing how to order dinner as your friend the madam... Fran: You don't want to learn. I could teach you. I belong here. They accept me here. Sam: Yeah? Well, I'm gonna get out of this town and back to doing something, and take you along. Fran: Well, I'm not going, Sam. Sam: Oh, yes, you are. Fran: No, I'm not. I think you and I need a vacation from each other. Sam: Well, I don't feel that way about it. I think I've been weak with you long enough. Fran: Besides, I've rented a villa with Renee for the summer at Montreux on Lake Geneva in Switzerland. I've signed the lease. Sam: Well, I think you might have told me. Fran: I got my own money. – Dodsworth Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Sam: Fran, my darling, you're not drifting away from me. Fran: I hope not. Sam: Oh, no. You and I, Fran, after all these years. All right, I'll give it up. I won't go home. Fran: But, you've, you've got to go home. You've simply got to. I can't stand being torn like this any longer. Oh, I'm sorry for all the mean things I've said to you. But if you and I are gonna go on together, you've simply got to let me alone this summer. Oh, don't look so hurt, and please don't be angry. Oh, be as angry as you like, if it does any good! Remember, I, I did make a home for you once, and I'll do it again, only you've got to let me have my fling now! Because you're simply rushing at old age, Sam, and I'm not ready for that yet. – Dodsworth Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Sam: You want to divorce me then? Fran: Why should I want to divorce you? You're my husband. Sam: You couldn't very well divorce me if I weren't. – Dodsworth Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Sam: Have things got this bad, Fran? I'm too tired to talk tonight. If things have got this bad, they've got to stop altogether. Now, I'm willing to do anything I can to make you happy. I love you. You know that. But if we're going on together, as you said to me back in Paris, I'm saying it now, if we are going on together, we've got to beat it right back home where we belong. Fran: Is that your idea of making me happy? Sam: I'm not taking any more chances on another Arnold Iselin. Oh, I know this friendship with Kurt is harmless enough, but you might get fascinated. Fran: You think I might? You really think I might? Well, I love Kurt, and Kurt loves me, and I'm going to marry him. He asked me tonight...You've never known me. You've never known anything about me, not what I had on or thought or the sacrifices I've made....I'll be happy with Kurt. I'm fighting for life! You can't drag me back! Sam: Will you get your divorce here? Fran: Yes, I suppose so. Sam: I wish you'd put it off for a couple of months. Fran: Why? Sam: I'd like you to feel sure of Kurt. That's all. Fran: Well, it's my funeral now, isn't it? Sam: Yes, I guess so. I'll have to get used to that idea. I guess I can. – Dodsworth Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Edith: Let's sit down, if you've got a moment. Sam: Time is something I have nothing else but. Edith: How's Mrs. Dodsworth? I remember her with much pleasure. Sam: She's fine. I haven't got her along this trip. Edith: She doesn't like traveling? Sam: Does anyone? I expect most people travel to get away from themselves. I've been at it three months now. I'm glad to hear why. Edith: Alone? Sam: I'm getting used to it now. All museums look alike. All American Express offices look alike. Edith: You knew I live here. You might've looked me up. Sam: I've gotten out of the way of looking folks up. Edith: The education, how's that coming along? Sam: I gave it up. I found myself learning things I didn't want to learn. – Dodsworth Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Sam: Edith, I've spent six short weeks with you in this house, and I can't imagine ever being without you again. Edith: I can't imagine being without you, either. I think I must love you a great deal. Sam: God bless you for that. – Dodsworth Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Sam: She's dropped the divorce. She's going home on the Rex day after tomorrow from Naples. I've got to go with her. Edith: I won't let you. Sam: What else can I do? Edith: I won't let you go back to her. Sam: I know this is a jolt. It's a jolt to me too. Edith: I won't see you killed by her selfishness. Sam: You don't understand. It'll be tough on her with all the talk there'll be. Edith: I love you, and she doesn't. You're miserable with her. Sam: I know. Edith: A moment ago, you had the whole world in your hands. I won't let her take it away from you. Sam: She's not taking it away. Edith: You were a young man a minute ago. I know everything's starting again. You shriveled the same way, every letter you got from her. Sam: I can't think. Edith: You're wrong to go back... Sam: Please, be fair. She's in a hole. She needs me. Edith: She does not need you, and you might think of me. Sam: I am thinking of you. ... Edith: One word from her, and you trot back. Sam: You've got to be patient with me. Edith: What is this hold she has over you? Sam: I've got to take care of her. A man's habits get pretty strong in 20 years. I'll go into town and make the reservations. It's giving you up that hurts. – Dodsworth Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Fran: I do think you might meet me halfway. After all, as I look back, I don't blame myself. I can't really. You were a good deal at fault too. Sam: Steward. Steward: Yes, sir. Sam: Take this check, go to suite seven on B deck...get the suitcase with that number on it and bring it here right away. [to Fran] I'm not sailing with you. Fran: You're not sailing? Sam: No, I'm not. You and I can't make a go of things any longer. Fran: This is the man I loved for 20 years. Sam: This is the man who's loved you. You haven't learned a single thing from all our sorrows. And I flattered myself you really wanted to come back to me. Fran: I tried, didn't I? I might've known you'd be just the same, yet I gave you another chance. Sam: I'm not taking another chance, because I'm through, finished. Fran: What's going to become of me? Sam: You'll stop getting younger someday. Fran: Are you going back to that washed-out expatriate in Naples? Sam: Yes, and when I marry her, I'm going back to doing things. Fran: Do you think you'll ever get me out of your blood? Sam: Maybe not. But love has got to stop someplace short of suicide. [Dodsworth runs to the gangplank and jumps on just as it is lowered away from the ship. The boat whistle sounds.] Steward: But the gentleman will miss the boat! Fran: HE'S GONE ASHORE! HE'S GONE ASHORE! – Dodsworth Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Nun: So, you don't believe in God...because of Alice in Wonderland? Loki: No, Through the Looking Glass, that poem "The Walrus and the Carpenter," that's an indictment of organized religion. The walrus, with his girth and good nature, obviously represents either Buddha or, with his tusks, the Hindu elephant god Lord Ganesha – that takes care of your eastern religions. Now the carpenter, which is an obvious reference to Jesus Christ, who was raised a carpenter's son, he represents the western religions. Now in the poem, what do they do? What do they do? They dupe all these oysters into following them and then proceed to shuck and devour the helpless creatures en masse. Now I don't know what that says to you, but to me it says that following these faiths based on mythological figures ensures the destruction of one's inner being. Organized religion destroys who we are by inhibiting our actions, by inhibiting our decisions, out of fear of some intangible parent figure, who shakes a finger at us from thousands of years ago and says "Do it, do it and I'll fucking spank you!" The existentialists can keep their Kierkegaard and their Sartre — give me Lewis Carroll any day. That guy knows what time it is! Nun: The way you put it... I've never thought about it like that before. What...what have I been doing with my life? Loki: Yeah, I know. Look, why don't you take this money you're collecting for your parish, and go out and buy yourself a new dress. Fix yourself up. Find some man. Find some woman. Find anyone you can connect with, even for a moment. Because that's all that life really is, Sister — it's a series of moments. Why don't you go seize yours? Attagirl. [The nun smiles gratefully and leaves. Loki sits next to Bartleby.] Bartleby: Here's what I don't get about you. You know for a fact that there's a God. You've been in His presence, He's spoken to you personally. And yet I just heard you claim to be an atheist. Loki: I just love to fuck with the clergy, man, I just love it. I love keeping those guys on their toes! – Dogma Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Loki: Our last four days on Earth. If I had a dick, I'd go get laid. But we can do the next best thing. Bartleby: What's that? Loki: Let's kill people. [A woman standing next to them does a spit take] Loki: Oh, not you. – Dogma Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
[Metatron's fiery entrance in Bethany's room] Metatron: Behold the Metatron, herald of the Almighty and voice of the one true God. Behold the Metatron, herald of the Almighty and voice of the one true God. Behold the Metatron, herald of the Almighty and voice of the one true... [Bethany sprays Metatron with a fire extinguisher; Metatron coughs repeatedly and emerges from the smoke in human form as Bethany rushes to her bed and grabs a baseball bat] Metatron: Ah, Sweet Jesus! Did you have to use the whole can?! Bethany: Who the fuck are you and what the fuck are you doing in my room?! Metatron: I'm the one that's soaked and she's the one that's surly, that's rich. Stupid... fucking Christ... Bethany: Get the fuck out of here! Now! Metatron: Or you'll do what, exactly? Hit me with that...fffffish? [Bethany realizes the baseball bat she's holding is now a large fish, and drops it in shock] Metatron: Now, just sit down on the bed and shut up. Jesus wept... Look at my suit! Bethany: Look, just take whatever you want, but don't kill or rape me. Metatron: Oh, give over, will you? I couldn't rape you if I wanted to; Angels are ill-equipped! [Drops his pants to show blank skin where his genitals should be] See? I'm as anatomically impaired as a Ken doll. Now make yourself useful and gimme that towel, will you? [Bethany tosses it to him and he starts wiping his clothes dry] Honestly, you bottom feeders and your arrogance, you think everybody's just trying to get in your knickers. Bethany: What are you? Metatron: I'm pissed off, is what I am! Do you go around drenching everybody that comes into your room with flame-retardant chemicals? No wonder you're single. – Dogma Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Metatron: I am to charge you with a holy crusade. Bethany: For the record, I work in an abortion clinic. Metatron: Noah was a drunk, look what he accomplished. And no one's even asking you to build an ark. All you have to do is go to New Jersey and visit a small church on a very important day. Bethany: New Jersey? That doesn't sound like much of a crusade. Metatron: Aside from the fine print, that's it. Bethany: What's the fine print? Metatron: [Mumbling into glass] Stop-a-couple-of-angels-from-entering-and-thus-negating-all-existence. Bethany: Wait, wait, wait. Repeat that. Metatron: [Annoyed] Stop a couple of angels from entering and thus negating all existence. I hate when people need it spelled out for them! – Dogma Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
[Jay and Silent Bob have just saved Bethany from Azrael's minions] Bethany: I don't know what to say or think, except... Jay: That's you'll offer us sex as a reward? Bethany: Um... that I'd like to know who they and you are. Jay: I'm Jay, and this my hetero lifemate Silent Bob. I don't know who those kids were, but they would have kicked yours and Lunchbox's asses if I hadn't of represented. Bethany: Well, thanks for being out here so late. Wait... are you protesters? Jay: You mean those dickheads with the signs and the pictures of dead babies? Shit no! Me and Silent Bob are pro-choice. A woman's body is her own goddamn business! Bethany: So, what are you doing hanging around? Jay: We're here to pick up chicks. Bethany: Excuse me? Jay: We figure an abortion clinic is a good place to meet loose women. Why else would they be here unless they like to fuck? – Dogma Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Jay: So, what's up? You gotta friend for Silent Bob, or you wanna do us both? If so, I'm first; I hate sloppy seconds. Bethany: You're a man of principle. Jersey's pretty far from McHenry. May I ask what brought you here? Jay: Some fuck named John Hughes. Bethany: Sixteen Candles John Hughes? Jay: You know that guy too? That fucking guy. Made this flick Sixteen Candles. Not bad, there's tits in it, but no bush. But Ebert over here don't give a shit about that kinda thing. 'Cause he's all in love with this John Hughes guy. Goes out and like rents every one of his movies. Fucking Breakfast Club; all these stupid kids actually show up for detention. Fucking Weird Science where this babe wants to take her gear off and get down, but oh no she don't cause it's a PG movie. And then Pretty in Pink, which I can't watch with this tubby bitch anymore because every time we get to the part where the redhead hooks up with her dream guy, he starts sobbin' like a little bitch with a skinned knee and shit. And nothing is worse then watching a fuckin' fat man weep. Bethany: What exactly brought you to Illinois? Jay: See, all these movies take place in a small town called Shermer, Illinois where all the honeys are top shelf, but all the dudes are whiny pussies. [Silent Bob raises a finger.] Except for Judd Nelson, he was fucking harsh! [He and Silent Bob bump fists.] But best of all, there was no one dealing, man. Then it hits me, we could live like fat rats if we're the blunt connection in Shermer, Illinios, so we collected some money we were owed and caught a bus. You know what the fuck we found out when we got there? There is no Shermer, Illinois. Movies are fucking bullshit. Bethany: When are you going back to Jersey? Jay: [to Silent Bob] Jesus, this broad asks a lot of questions. [to Bethany] Tomorrow. Bethany: [to herself] Tomorrow... Jay: Yeah. So, you do anal? Is it true that chicks fart if you blast 'em in the ass? Bethany: I didn't ask you out for sex. Jay: I'll take head. Bethany: This is gonna sound really bad. I can't believe I'm even thinking about this, but... I think I should go with you? Jay: What, like steady? You wanna be my girlfriend? All right, but Silent Bob has to live with us and you pay the rent. Bethany: No. I wanna go with you to New Jersey. Jay: Really? Bethany: You're going to lead me somewhere. Jay: Me lead you? Lady, look at me, I don't even know where the hell I am half the time. If we're not gonna fuck, then what the fuck did you ask us out for? Bethany: Someone told me I'd meet you and you'd take me some place I was suppose to go. Jay: What the hell are you babbling about? All I know is we saved your ass from some angry, fucking dwarves and now you're telling us we're suppose to take you somewhere and you don't even know where the hell it is? Bethany: Do you believe in God? Jay: Holy fuck! [to Silent Bob] All the fine immoral bitches out in front of that place and we gotta get the one Jesus freak? Let's get the fuck outta here- [both get up to leave] Bethany: No, wait! Jay: I'll scream rape. Bethany: I can pay you. Jay: Pay? [he and Silent Bob sit back down] Bethany: A hundred bucks for being my guide. You're going to Jersey anyway; all I'm asking is to tag along. Jay: [to Silent Bob] I feel like Han Solo, you're Chewie, and she's Ben Kenobi and we're in that fucked up bar! [to Bethany] What about sex? Bethany: No sex. Jay: All right, well lets say we're caught in a situation where we have like five minutes left to live. I don't know, a bomb or something's gonna go off; would you fuck us then? Bethany: In that highly unlikely situation... yeah, sure. Jay: Yeah? [to Silent Bob] She's the slut. Booong! – Dogma Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Jay: You believe this shit?! Rufus: You know, that's a lot like the good people of Antioch were saying, right before they stoned my ass! Bethany: You were martyred? Rufus: That's one way of putting it. Another would be I was bludgeoned to death by big fucking rocks! – Dogma Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Rufus: His only real beef with mankind is the shit that gets carried out in His name. Wars, bigotry, televangelism. The big one, though, is the fractioning of all of the religions. He said mankind got it all wrong by taking a good idea and building a belief structure on it. Bethany: You’re saying having beliefs is a bad thing? Rufus: I just think it’s better to have ideas. I mean, you can change an idea, changing a belief is trickier. People die for it, people kill for it. The whole of existence is in jeopardy right now, because of the Catholic belief structure regarding this plenary indulgence bullshit. Bartleby and Loki, whether they know it or not, are exploiting that belief. And if they’re successful, you, me… ALL of this ends in a heartbeat, all over a belief. – Dogma Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Whitland: Morning. Has anyone seen the overnights? Board: No Whitland: We creamed 'em. Last night was a re-run which says to me... Do I smell onion? [Loki and Bartleby are noticed seated, Loki peeling onions with a knife] 'Excuse me. May I ask what you're doing in my boardroom? Loki: [To Bartleby] You may proceed, mon ami. Bartleby: I'm gonna have to start by apologizing. My friend has a bit of a penchant for the dramatic. Loki: Oh come on! Bartleby: Relax, I'm doing this. [To the board room] Mooby, the Golden Calf. Created by Nancy Goldruff, a former kindergarten teacher in 1989. Bought by the Complex Corporation in 1991. Broadcast nationally as the "Mooby Fun-Time Hour." Since its inception, has spawned two theatrical films... and a library of priced-to-own videocassettes. Not to mention bicoastal theme parks... dubbed "Mooby World." Did I miss anything? Whitland: You forgot Mooby Magazine. Bartleby: Damn it! Whitland: Is there a point to this? Bartleby: You and your board are idolaters. Loki: [To Bartleby] I can't believe you forgot the magazine. [Places the onion, carved in the shape of a man, before Whitman] That's you. Do you know much about voodoo? That's a fascinating practice. No real doctrine of faith to speak of. More an arrangement of superstitions the most well-known of which is the voodoo doll. You see- [Sneezes. He looks around the room but no one speaks. Shrugs and continues his speech.] -a mockup of an individual is subjected to various pokes and prods.The desired result is that the individual will feel those effects. Whitland: Call security, now! [Loki throws a the knife into the phone] Loki: All lines are currently down. Bartleby: I'm gonna have to apologize. Loki: -Would you knock it off? Bartleby: You're doing it again. Stop. What did we talk about? [To the board room] Ahem. You are responsible for raising an icon which draws worship from the Lord. You have broken the First Commandment. More than that, I'm afraid not a one of you passes for a decent human being. Your continued existence is a mockery of morality. Like you, Mr. Burton. Last year, you cheated on your wife of 17 years 8 times. You even had sex with her best friend... while you were supposed to be home watching the kids. Loki: In the bed that you and your wife share, no less. Bartleby: Mr. Newman. You got your girlfriend drunk at last year's Christmas party and then paid a kid from the mail room to have sex with her while she was passed out just so you could break up with her guilt-free when she sobbingly confessed in the morning. She killed herself three months later. Mr. Brace disowned his gay son. Very compassionate. Mr. Ray put his mother in a third-rate nursing home and used the profits from the sale of her home to buy an Oriental rug for himself. Heavens. Mr. Barker flew to Thailand on the company account to have sex with an eleven-year-old boy. Mr. Holtzman okayed the production of Mooby Dolls from materials he knew to be toxic and unsafe because it was, survey says... less costly. You, on the other hand [addressing the only female board member] are an innocent. You lead a good life. Good for you. But you, Mr. Whitland. You have more skeletons in your closet than this assembled party. I cannot even mention them aloud. [Whispers into Whitland's ear] Loki: You're his father, you sick fuck! - Good.- Bartleby: Not bad, man. Loki: That's great work. Bartleby: Very good. [Walks out] Loki: Well, alone at last. With the exception of Miss Pryce here there isn't a decent human being amongst you. Not one. Do you know what makes a human being decent? Fear. And therein lies the problem. None of you has anything left to fear anymore. You rest comfortably in seats of inscrutable power hiding behind your false idol,far from judgment lives shrouded in secrecy, even from one another. But not from God. (Walks off) Oh, forgot my little voodoo doll. Man, it really looks just like you, doesn't it? Look, if I believed enough in this... I wonder.[smashes doll into table. The board scream in terror before realizing nothing's happened. Loki snickers] Come on. I don't believe in voodoo. Voodoo. [Loki exits the boardroom. The board members collect themselves, but then Loki re-enters with gun drawn] But I do believe in this!. [Opens fire] DON'T RUN! DON'T RUN! FAKES! FAKES, ALL OF YOU FAKES! AND YOU! IN THE BED THAT YOU AND YOUR WIFE SHARE NO LESS! Bartleby: [Reading Mooby magazine] "But I do believe in this"... What does that mean? Loki: [all but the innocent woman are dead] Gum? Go on it's OK you've done nothing wrong, those guys were finks and you're a pure soul. [Points gun at her] But you didn't say God bless you when I sneezed. Bartleby: LOKI! Loki: You're getting off light. Bartleby: Loki! Loki: I know, I'm coming. [walks off] You're so lucky. – Dogma Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Bartleby: My eyes are open. For the first time, I get it. When that little innocent girl let her mission slip, I had an epiphany. See in the beginning, it was just us and Him, angels and God...and then he created humans. Ours was designed to be a life of servitude and worship, and bowing and scraping and adoration. He gave them more than He ever gave us — He gave them a choice. They choose to acknowledge God, or choose to ignore Him. All this time we've been down here, I've felt the absence of the divine presence, and it's pained me, as I'm sure it must have pained you. And why? Because of the way He made us! Had we been given free will, we could choose to ignore the pain, like they do. But no — We're servants! Loki: [alarmed] Okay... You know, all I'm saying is that maybe one of us needs a little nap... Bartleby: Wake up! These Humans have besmirched everything He's bestowed upon them. They were given paradise — they threw it away. They were given this planet — they destroyed it. They were favored best among all His endeavors, and some of them don't even believe He exists! And in spite of it all, He has shown them infinite fucking patience at every turn. What about us? I asked you once to lay down the sword because I felt sorry for them. What was the result? Our expulsion from paradise! Where was His infinite fucking patience then? It's not right! It's not fair! We've paid our debt. Don't you think it's time, don't you think it's time we went home? And to do that, I think we may have to dispatch our would-be dispatchers. Loki: Wait, wait, wait...kill them? You're talking about the Last Scion, for Chrissakes! And what about Jay and Bob? I mean, those guys were alright. Bartleby: Don't, don't my friend. See, don't let your sympathies get the best of you. They did me, once. Scion or not... she's just a human. And by passing through that arch, our sins are forgiven. No harm, no foul. Loki: [horrified] My God... I've heard a rant like this before. Bartleby: What did you say? Loki: I've heard a rant like this before. Bartleby: Don't you fucking do that to me. Loki: You sound like the Morning Star! Bartleby: You shut your fucking mouth! Loki: You do, you sound like Lucifer, man! You've fucking lost it! You're not talking about going home, Bartleby — you're talking about fucking war on God! Well, fuck that! I have seen what happens to the proud when they take on the throne. I'm going back to Wisconsin. [Bartleby slams Loki against a wall] Bartleby: We're going home, Loki! And no one — not you, not even the Almighty Himself — is going to make that otherwise. – Dogma Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
Bethany: Why me? Out of all the people on the goddamn planet, why was I tapped? Rufus: Imagine you're a twelve-year old boy, and one day you're told you're God's only son- more than that, you're God. How long do you think it would take you to come to grips with something that huge? Maybe, say, eighteen years? In the Bible, Jesus suddenly goes from twelve to thirty. Twelve to thirty! Now that's some pretty bad story-telling! Where are the texts dealing with the missing eighteen years?! I'll tell you where; they were offered up as a sacrifice to the God of ecumenical politics! Bethany: [sarcastically joking] You make it sound like there was some Church conspiracy to cover up the "truth about Christ"! [Rufus gives her a look; Bethany instantly becomes more serious] Bullshit! Any important material about Christ would give people a better understanding of the nature of God. Why leave any of it out? Rufus: Because it's all closely tied in with His family. Bethany: His mother and father? Rufus: His brothers and sisters. Bethany: Jesus didn't have any brothers or sisters; Mary was a virgin. Rufus: Mary gave birth to Christ without knowing a man's touch, this is true, but she did have a husband. And do you really think he would have stayed married to her for all those years if he wasn't getting laid? The nature of God and the Virgin birth are all leaps of faith, but to believe a married couple never got down...well that's just plain gullibility! Bethany: Meaning? Rufus: The blood that flows through your veins shares a chromosome or two at the genetic level with the one you call Jesus. Bethany, you are the great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grand-niece of Jesus Christ. Jay: So that would make Bethany... part black? – Dogma Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
[Bethany has just found out that she is the last descendant of Jesus] Bethany: [looking skyward] WHY?! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT FROM ME?! I FUCKING HATE YOU! [now crying] I hate you. Metatron: He can't hear you, you know. Bethany: Why didn't you tell me? Metatron: Would you - could you - have believed me? You had to come to it gradually. Only now, after all you've seen, could you accept the truth. Bethany: I don't want this. It's too big. Metatron: That's what Jesus said. Yeah... I had to tell him. And you can imagine how that hurt the Father, that one word from his lips would destroy the Son's frail human body. So, I had to tell a scared child who wanted nothing more than to play with other children that he was God's only son, and that it meant a life of persecution and eventual crucifixion at the hands of the very people he had come to enlighten and redeem. He begged me to take it all back, as if I could. He begged me to 'make it all not true'. And I'll let you in on something, Bethany. It's something I've never told anyone before: if I had the power, I would have. It's unfair! It's unfair to ask a child to shoulder that responsibility, and it's unfair to ask you to do the same. I sympathize, I do. I wish I could take it all back. But I can't. This is who you are. Bethany: Everything I am has been a lie. Metatron: No, no, no! Knowing what you now know doesn't mean you're not who you were. You are Bethany Sloane - no one can take that away from you, not even God. All this means is a new definition of that identity. The incorporation of this new data into who you are. Be who you've always been. Just be this as well... from time to time. Bethany: [chuckles mirthlessly] I guess this mean no more cheating on my taxes. Metatron: [smiles] To say the least. – Dogma Movie Quote	added 5 years ago
