*Eddie (Sean Penn), high on cocaine, is ranting to Mickey (Kevin Spacey), who's walking out of Eddie's Hollywood Hills home and possibly their partnership as casting directors*
"You have no feelings AT ALL!"
"No, Eddie, you know what? I, I just don't have your feelings. That's all. I have my own. And you know what? They get me by."
"So what kind of friendship is this?"
"(after a pause, then a "What can I say?" gesture) Adequate. Goodnight."
*Mickey leaves, and Eddie does more coke*

Thoughts on Small Soldiers

 

via Giphy/Courtesy DreamWorks/NBCUniversal

"Soldiers, no poor sap ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by being all that he can be. Damn the torpedoes, or give me death! Eternal vigilance is the price of duty. And, to the victors go the spoils. So remember: you are the best of the best of the few and the proud. So ask not what your country can do for you, only regret that you have but one life to live! The war against the Gorgonites will be won! Commando Elite, let the first shot be fired! Search out the Gorgonites and frag 'em all!"

"Yeah, you're only. You can't beat the clock, Riggs."

*Harry Stamper (Bruce Willis) reveals his drilling crew's conditions for undergoing an earth-saving mission*
"Well, there's uh, few things here, uh ... nothin' really big, uh, just ... Well, as an example, uh, uh, Oscar here, he's got some outstanding parking tickets. Wants them wiped off his record."
"Fifty-six tickets in seven states."
"I'll, I'll tell 'em, Oscar, you got it. ... *the bit continues on for a few more minutes* Yeah, one more thing. Um, none of them want to pay taxes again. ... Ever."

"Made it through one whole day, how you feelin'?"
"*with a tone of chipper hysteria* Awful."
"You got some coffee."
"Yes. Mr. Policeman found me some coffee. Brought it to me."
"How you feeling? You, you look pretty good, you look like you're up."
"No, I don't. I don't look good. I don't look good. My feet hurt, my legs hurt. I'm sleepy. But other than that, I'm okay."

" ... You have my wallet."
"And your gun."
"Think I can have them back?"
"How do we do that?"
"Well, let's see, you can come by my dad's place and drop them off."
"Yeah, I could leave it with the SWAT guy that answers the door."
"You know, there's a guy here on the task force right now. Maybe I should put him on the phone and let the two of you work it out."
"You wouldn't do that."
"Oh, why not?"
"Because you're having too much fun."

Thoughts on Dr. Dolittle

 

via Tumblr/Courtesy 20th Century Studios

"Do you remember when we first started out? We had those little crummy offices in the worst neighborhood in town and we got paid almost no money."
"I've blocked it out."
"Have you really?"
"I guess so, yeah."
"Those were the most exciting times to me, you know? It was like -- you couldn't wait to come to work because it felt like you were making a difference, you know. And last night, I had to treat some -- some emergencies. And I was challenged, and it was difficult. And I kind of -- I got the same kind of rush I had back then. I felt like I was doin' somethin', you know? I felt like I was makin' a difference. And I started thinkin' that maybe here ... I'm not giving my patients the right amount of attention."
"... John, do me a favor. Don't ever confide in me, okay. I'm utterly useless in these areas. I'm a very self-absorbed man. ..."

Thoughts on Mulan

"I've heard a great deal about you, Fa Mulan. You stole your father's armor, ran away from home, impersonated a soldier, deceived your commanding officer, dishonored the Chinese army, destroyed my palace and ... you have saved us all."

Thoughts on The X-Files

 

via Gifer

"Why did they assign me to you in the first place, Mulder? To debunk your work. To rein you in, to shut you down ..."
"But you saved me. As difficult and as frustrating as it's been sometimes, your goddamned strict rationalism and science have saved me a thousand times over. You kept me honest. You made me a whole person. I owe you everything. Scully, you owe me nothing. ... I don't know if I want to do this alone. I don't even know if I can. And if I quit now, they win."

"Ready to go."
"Is it safe to fly?"
"It is with me."
"Oh, you're that good, huh?"
"I'm the best you've ever been with."

"We may be old, but we're sturdy."

Thoughts on Can't Hardly Wait

"You see the salt on this pretzel? Look at the stars. Some people, they say the stars are billions and billions of tons of hot gas. But I think maybe, maybe it's just God's salt. And God's just waiting to eat us."

via Giphy/Courtesy Warner Bros. Pictures

"... I can tell Emily exactly who you are and life will imitate art. You'll become a starving painter. Game over. ... Or you can cash out. ... Half a million dollars. Tax-free."
"Just for walking away from her?"
"I said tax-free, I didn't say free."
"What's 500 grand for?"
"Killing my wife."

Thoughts on Hope Floats

 

via Giphy/Courtesy 20th Century Studios


"Everything is so wrong without Bill."
"I know."
"I miss him so much."
"I know."
"He used to call me 'baby.' I never in a million years thought I'd be a woman who'd like that, but I did ... with him."
"Sure you do."
"I miss his hands. ... Miss his hands, the way they would just -- he would put them on the small of my back ... and just lead me into a room. It made me feel so safe. I miss all that."

Thoughts on The Last Days of Disco

 

via Giphy/Courtesy Focus Features

"Alice, one thing I've noticed is that people hate being criticized. Everyone hates that. It's one of the great truths of human nature. I think it's why my parents got divorced. I'm sorry, it's just that you're so teriffic, it makes me sick to think you might get in that terrible situation again where everybody hated you."
"Hated me?"
"You're wonderful. Maybe, in physical terms, I'm a little cuter than you. But you should be much more popular than I am. It'd be such a shame if what happened in college repeated itself."

"Ah, you can tell that just by sniffing its droppings."
"No. I can see the herd right over there."

Thoughts on Godzilla

 

via Giphy/Courtesy Sony

"This animal is much too big to be some kind of lost dinosaur ... I believe this is a mutated apparition -- a hybrid, caused by (nuclear fallout). ... We're looking at a completely incipient creature. The dawn of a new species. The first of its kind."
