That's a good one. Tight movie. Don't see many neutral/neutral main characters in movies anymore. I'll list some from my favorite villians.

Lex Luthor: Wait a minute, now... I can give you the Brass Ring, unlimited freedom to maim and kill and destroy! PLUS: Lex Luthor's keen mind, Lex Luthor's savvy, Lex Luthor's career guidance...

Scorpius: I’ve decided to give him the PeaceKeeper’s Guide to Frelling You Over in Less Than Nine Hundred Microts

Scorpius again: Beat around the bush? Is that some sort of ritual?

Top Dollar: Ya know, my daddy used to say every man's got a devil. And you can't rest 'til you find him... but if it's any consolation to you, you have put a smile on my face.

The last one is probably my favorite of them all, but there's so many quotable lines out there it's hard to pick just one.

Actually, it's anything from schlock mercenary.

1. Pillage then Burn. (2/7/02, 3/8/03, 4/4/04, 7/22/04)

36. When the going gets tough, the tough call for close air support. (10/2/03)

37. There is no "overkill". There is only "open fire" and "I need to reload." (2/23/04, 4/6/04, 6/23/04…partial)

xx. Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Take his fish away and tell him he's lucky just to be alive, and he'll figure out how to catch another one for you to take tomorrow. (4/4/04, no official rule number given)

WESTMORELAND:

O that we now had here

But one ten thousand of those men in England

That do no work to-day!

KING:

What's he that wishes so?

My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin;

If we are mark'd to die, we are enow

To do our country loss; and if to live,

The fewer men, the greater share of honour.

God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.

By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,

Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;

It yearns me not if men my garments wear;

Such outward things dwell not in my desires.

But if it be a sin to covet honour,

I am the most offending soul alive.

No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.

God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour

As one man more methinks would share from me

For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!

Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,

That he which hath no stomach to this fight,

Let him depart; his passport shall be made,

And crowns for convoy put into his purse;

We would not die in that man's company

That fears his fellowship to die with us.

This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.

He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,

Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,

And rouse him at the name of Crispian.

He that shall live this day, and see old age,

Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,

And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian.'

Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,

And say 'These wounds I had on Crispian's day.'

Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,

But he'll remember, with advantages,

What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,

Familiar in his mouth as household words-

Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,

Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-

Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.

This story shall the good man teach his son;

And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,

From this day to the ending of the world,

But we in it shall be remembered-

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;

For he to-day that sheds his blood with me

Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,

This day shall gentle his condition;

Make him a member of the gentry, even if he is a commoner.

And gentlemen in England now-a-bed

Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,

And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks

That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

Before the Battle of Agincourt,

25 October 1415

Shakespeare

Henry V, Act 4, Scene 3

I pity....

"the fool who derives self-asteem from mocking other people's appearance." - Mr. T

"the fool who knocks on car windows in disrespect." - Mr. T

"the fool's fool who wears a fool's gold necklace." - Mr. T

Just as an aside, did you know that 31 fools are born every minute to keep up with the rate inwhich Mr. T pities?

"Did you think of that all by yourself? Oh you're so funny! I've never heard that before, ever. I mean, that's what she says on the show right? 'You are the weakest link, goodbye!'. But here you've taken it out of context, to insult me, in this everyday situation! Mm.. that's so fresh too! Got any Titanic jokes to throw out, while we're hitting these at the height of their popularity? Hmm... God you're so funny!"

- Family Guy

Chayesh you made me want to go read some Shakespeare. I forgot how much I loved that play.

"All I know is you've gotta play the hand that life deals you. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose... but at least you're in the game."

-Vic Fontaine, "It's Only A Paper Moon", Star Trek DS9

"If there is no great glorious end to all this, if nothing we do matters... then all that matters is what we do. Because that's all there is, what we do now, today. Because if there's no bigger meaning, then the smallest act of kindness... is the greatest thing in the world."

-Angel, Angel

"It's time to prove to your friends that you're worth a damn. Sometimes that means dying; sometimes that means killing a whole lot of people."

-Dwight, Sin City
