Greatest Movie Speeches?

[jagowar]

Saw this done on another thread.... forgotten how many good speeches there are.... my personal favorites:

Independence Day:
Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in this history of mankind.

Mankind -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests.

Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist. And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice:

"We will not go quietly into the night!
We will not vanish without a fight!
We're going to live on!
We're going to survive!"

Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!

Patton:
…………. Be seated.

Now, I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. Men, all this stuff you’ve heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans traditionally love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle. When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, the big league ball player, the toughest boxer. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That’s why Americans have never lost and will never lose a war. Because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.

Now, an Army is a team. It lives, eats, sleeps, fights as a team. This individuality stuff is a bunch of crap. The bilious bastards who wrote that stuff about individuality for the Saturday Evening Post don’t know anything more about real battle than they do about fornicating.

We have the finest food and equipment, the best spirit and the best men in the world. You know, by God I actually pity those poor bastards we’re going up against. By God, I do. We’re not just going to shoot the bastards, we’re going to cut out their living guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We’re going to murder those lousy Hun bastards by the bushel.

Now, some of you boys, I know, are wondering whether or not you'll chicken out under fire. Don't worry about it. I can assure you that you will all do your duty. The Nazis are the enemy. Wade into them. Spill their blood. Shoot them in the belly. When you put your hand into a bunch of goo that a moment before was your best friend's face, you'll know what to do.

Now there’s another thing I want you to remember. I don’t want to get any messages saying that we are holding our position. We’re not holding anything. Let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly and we’re not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy. We're going to hold onto him by the nose and we're going to kick him in the ass. We're going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we're gonna go through him like crap through a goose.

There’s one thing that you men will be able to say when you get back home. And you may thank God for it. Thirty years from now when you’re sitting around your fireside with your grandson on your knee and he asks you what did you do in the great World War II, you won’t have to say, "Well, I shoveled sh!t in Louisiana."

Alright now, you sons-of-bitches, you know how I feel. Oh, and I will be proud to lead you wonderful guys into battle – anytime, anywhere.

That’s all.

1. Braveheart


Yes, I've heard.
Kills men by the hundreds,
and if he were here,
he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes
and bolts of lightning from his ass (arse?). < laughter >
I AM William Wallace,
and I see a whole army of my countrymen
here in defiance of tyranny.
You've come to fight as free men,
and free men you are.
What will you do with that freedom?
Will you fight?
Aye, fight and you may die.
Run, and you'll live... at least a while.
And dying in your beds many years from now,
would you be willing to trade all the days,
from this day to that,
for one chance,
just one chance,
to come back here and tell our enemies
that they may take our lives,
but they'll never take our FREEDOM!!!



2. Pride of the Yankees

Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about the bad break I got. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth. I have been in ballparks for seventeen years and have never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans.

"Look at these grand men. Which of you wouldn’t consider it the highlight of his career just to associate with them for even one day? Sure, I’m lucky. Who wouldn’t consider it an honor to have known Jacob Ruppert? Also, the builder of baseball’s greatest empire, Ed Barrow? To have spent six years with that wonderful little fellow, Miller Huggins? Then to have spent the next nine years with that outstanding leader, that smart student of psychology, the best manager in baseball today, Joe McCarthy? Sure, I’m lucky.

"When the New York Giants, a team you would give your right arm to beat, and vice versa, sends you a gift - that’s something. When everybody down to the groundskeepers and those boys in white coats remember you with trophies - that’s something. When you have a wonderful mother-in-law who takes sides with you in squabbles with her own daughter - that’s something. When you have a father and a mother who work all their lives so you can have an education and build your body - it’s a blessing. When you have a wife who has been a tower of strength and shown more courage than you dreamed existed - that’s the finest I know.

"So I close in saying that I may have had a tough break, but I have an awful lot to live for."


3. Pulp Fiction

There's a passage I got memorized.
Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the
righteous man is beset on all sides
by the inequities of the selfish and
the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is
he who, in the name of charity and
good will, shepherds the weak through
the valley of the darkness. For he
is truly his brother's keeper and
the finder of lost children. And I
will strike down upon thee with great
vengeance and furious anger those
who attempt to poison and destroy my
brothers. And you will know I am the
Lord when I lay my vengeance upon
you." I been sayin' that **** for
years. And if you ever heard it, it
meant your ass. I never really
questioned what it meant. I thought
it was just a coldblooded thing to
say to a mother****er 'fore you popped
a cap in his ass. But I saw some
**** this mornin' made me think twice.
Now I'm thinkin', it could mean you're
the evil man. And I'm the righteous
man. And Mr. .45 here, he's the
shepherd protecting my righteous ass
in the valley of darkness. Or is
could by you're the righteous man
and I'm the shepherd and it's the
world that's evil and selfish. I'd
like that. But that **** ain't the
truth. The truth is you're the weak.
And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But
I'm tryin'. I'm tryin' real hard to
be a shepherd.

George C. Scott as Patton is the best.

Favorite short speech

Yeah I called her up, she gave me a bunch of crap about me not listening to her, or something, I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention. - From Dumb and Dumber

[Gravy]

Don't forget Clint!:

There are two kinds of people in the world....those with guns, and those who dig.......you dig.

[CaliHornia]

Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

What the f*ck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer...

Dead!:D

[addsae]

Bricktop from Snatch
Youre always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece.

Apparrently the best thing to do, is cut up the corpse in to six pieces and pile it all together.

And when you got your six pieces you got to get rid of them, cause it no good leaving it in the deep freeze for ya mum to discover now is it?

Then i hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs, you gotta starve the pigs for a few days then the sight of a chopped up body will look like cunny to a pisshead.

You gotta shave the heads of your victims and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggy's digestion you could do this after wards of course, but you don't want to go sifing through pig **** now do ya?

They will go through bone like buttar!

you need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be weary of any man who keeps a pig farm.

They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes, that means that a single pig could consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute.

Hence the expression " As greedy as a pig!"

[legelegel]

Bump :popcorn:

[jacruzer01]

Scarface:

What you lookin' at? You all a bunch of f***ing a**holes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be? You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your f***in' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie. So say good night to the bad guy! Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you. Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy comin' through! Better get outta his way!

[Agnlaw]

Big Trouble in Little China

Jack Burton (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000621/): When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."

[whitelightnin_23]

Fight Club, Tyler Durden:


Tyler Durden: “Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who’ve ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy **** we don’t need. We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War’s a spiritual war… our Great Depression is our lives. We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won’t. And we’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off.”

[whitelightnin_23]

Hotel Rwanda:


“I think if people see this footage, they’ll say “oh my God that’s horrible” and then go on eating their dinners.”

[whitelightnin_23]

Yoda!!!

"do Or Do Not; There Is No Try."

[whitelightnin_23]

Braveheart (again):


"Every man dies but not every man really lives."

[whitelightnin_23]

The Crow (an alltime favorite of mine):


"Childhood's over the moment you know you're going to die."

[whitelightnin_23]

Two good ones from Dead Poet's Society:


"No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world."

"Seize the day. Make your lives extraordinary."

[whitelightnin_23]

Gladiator:


"What we do in this life echoes in eternity."

[PinetarAg]

From the Emperor's Club (Very boring movie, but this line stuck out to me, and I have remembered it ever since)

Aristophanes once wrote, roughly translated; "Youth ages, immaturity is outgrown, ignorance can be educated, and drunkenness sobered, but STUPID lasts forever."

[whitelightnin_23]

I like that Pinetar...:gig:

The one from Hotel Rwanda haunts me...

[zrf2002]

tombstone -

why ike, what ever do you mean?

i'm your huckleberry.

Go ahead. Skin it. Skin that smoke wagon and see what happens.


Take a good look at him, Ike,
'cause that's how you're gonna end up.

The Cowboys are finished.
You understand me?

I see a red sash,
I kill the man wearin' it.

So run, you cur.

Run! Tell all the other curs
the law is comin'!

You tell 'em I'm comin'!

And hell's comin'
with me, you hear?

Hell's comin' with me!

[Pflugerville Ag]

Apocalypse Now (Robert Duvall)

You smell that? Do you smell that? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...

[Pflugerville Ag]

Dirty Harry (Clint Eastwood)...

know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?

[whitelightnin_23]

So many more from Tombstone (that movie is full of good quotes):


"Well...Bye"


Why Ike, whatever do you mean? Maybe poker's just not your game Ike. I know! Let's have a spelling contest!

Minority Report


I want to kill my boss.

[zrf2002]

boiler room -

Man on phone: Take me off your list.
Seth Davis (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000610/): Fine, fine. I'm gonna take you off my list of successful people today.

Jim Young (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000255/): And there is no such thing as a no sale call. A sale is made on every call you make. Either you sell the client some stock or he sells you a reason he can't. Either way a sale is made, the only question is who is gonna close? You or him? Now be relentless, that's it, I'm done.

Jim Young (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000255/): They say money can't buy happiness? Look at the ****ing smile on my face. Ear to ear, baby.

Seth Davis (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000610/): What do you mean, you're gonna pass. Alan, the only people making money passing are NFL quarterbacks and I don't see a number on your back.

Greg Weinstein (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0441588/): Don't pitch the b!tch.

Seth Davis (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000610/): I read this article a while back, that said that Microsoft employs more millionaire secretary's that any other company in the world. They took stock options over Christmas bonuses. It was a good move. I remember there was this picture, of one of the groundskeepers next to his Ferrari. Blew my mind. you see sh!t like that, and it just plants seeds, makes you think its possible, even easy. And then you turn on the TV, and there's just more of it. The $87 Million lottery winner, that kid actor that just made 20 million o his last movie, that internet stock that shot through the roof, you could have made millions if you had just gotten in early, and that's exactly what I wanted to do: get in. I didn't want to be an innovator any more, i just wanted to make the quick and easy buck, i just wanted in. The Notorious BIG said it best: "Either you're slingin' crack-rock, or you've got a wicked jump-shot." Nobody wants to work for it anymore. There's no honor in taking that after school job at Mickey Dee's, honor's in the dollar, kid. So I went the white boy way of slinging crack-rock: I became a stock broker.


Broker: I know you're not standing on your front porch with a bag of money waiting for me to call you. But I'm not some 18-year-old selling a cure for AIDS. I'm 46 years old, I have 22 years market experience, I know this business. So pick up your skirt, grab your balls, and lets go make some money

Jim Young (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000255/): There's an important phrase that we use here, and think it's time that you all learned it. Act as if. You understand what that means? Act as if you are the f***ing President of this firm. Act as if you got a 9" c0ck. Okay? Act as if.

Greg Weinstein (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0441588/): Don't you have a canoli you can stick in your mouth?
Chris Varick (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004874/): Don't you have a menorah you could shove up your arss?

Greg Weinstein (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0441588/): Hang up. Hang up the phone.
Seth Davis (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000610/): Thank you. That's nice for you to do that for me.
Greg Weinstein (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0441588/): First of all, there's gonna be a lot of these regardless of how good you are but you happen to suck big fat arss rhinoceros d!ck.
Seth Davis (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000610/): Well, thank you. That's confidence inspiring.


CHRIS: Card.

SETH: Okay, his name's Dr. Jacobs and from the sound of it, I'd say he's definitely...
CHRIS: Whoa, whoa, I don't wanna hear it, kid. Hi, Dr. Jacobs, this is Chris Marlin over at JT Marlin.
DR. JACOBS: Marlin?
CHRIS: Right. He's my father. So my associate tells me you're interested in one of our stocks.
DR. JACOBS: Yes, MSC sounds like it might be interesting.
CHRIS: Might be? Might be doesn't sell stock at the rate MSC is going, Dr. Jacobs. We're talking about very high volume here.
DR. JACOBS: Well, I still have to run it by my people.
CHRIS: That's great, Doc. If you want to miss yet another opportunity here and go watch your colleagues get rich doing clinical trials, then don't buy a share and hang up the phone.
DR. JACOBS: Well hold on a second. I didn't say that. I just wanted to talk more about it.
CHRIS: Honestly Doc, I don't have the time. This stock is blowing up right now. The whole firm is going nuts. Let me open the door to my office. You hear that? That's my trading floor, Doc. Now I have a million calls to make to other doctors who are already in the know. I can't walk you through this right now. I'm sorry.
DR. JACOBS: Okay, okay. Let's do this.
CHRIS: Now, since you're a new account I cannot go any higher than two thousand shares. I'd love to but I just can't do it.
DR. JACOBS: Two thousand?! Whoa! That's way more than I was thinking about. Two thousand, Jesus. I'm just curious, why can't you sell me more than that?
CHRIS: Well, we like to establish a relationship with our clients on something small before we get to the more serious trades. Let me show you several percentage points on this small trade and then we'll talk about doing future business.
DR. JACOBS: That sounds good. Give me two thousand shares.
CHRIS: Done.
DR. JACOBS: You sure you can't do any better on this one?
CHRIS: No, I'm sorry, Dr. Jacobs.
DR. JACOBS: Alright, let's start with this trade then.
CHRIS: Great. I promise we'll go big on the next one. Now do you want the confirmation sent to your office or your mansion?
DR. JACOBS: Very funny, Mr. Marlin. CHRIS: Alright, let me put my secretary on. She'll take your info. Done and done.

JIM: ... it's time to get your Series Seven books. No need to get nervous. If you study you'll pass. Then you begin trading as an SEC licensed broker. Then you're a ****ing millionaire. It's that simple. I need three hundred from each of you for the books which will be returned if and when you pass the exam. And I'll need that tomorrow.

MARC: I'll just ask my mom.
TRAINEE 2: Yeah, I'll have to do the same thing.
JIM: Okay then.
SETH: Here you go.
JIM: What are you, last night's erection? SETH: Yeah, you know.

SETH: Hello?

SALESMAN: Hi, this is Ron calling you from the Daily News. How you doing this morning?
SETH: I'm not interested.
SALESMAN: Okay. I'm sorry to have bothered you. Have a nice day.
SETH: That's it? That's your pitch? You consider that a sales call??!
SALESMAN: Well, ummm...
SETH: You want to sell me a paper right? Well you guys call me every Saturday and I get the same half-assed attempt. You wanna close me? Then sell me.
SALESMAN: Alright.
SETH: Go ahead, start again.
SALESMAN: Okay... Hi, this is Ron from the Daily News. How you doing this morning?
SETH: ****ty. What do you want?
SALESMAN: It's not what I want, sir... it's what you want.
SETH: Alright, now you're talking. What are you selling?
SALESMAN: I'm offering you a subscription to the Daily News at a substantially reduced price. We're trying to reach out to people that have never had home delivery before.
SETH: So, everyone else that already has a subscription is getting ****ed on this one huh?
SALESMAN: ...Yeah, I guess so.
SETH: Good, I can live with that. Now why do I want your paper? Maybe I should get the Times or the Voice.
SALESMAN: Well the Village Voice is free, sir, so if you want it you should certainly pick it up. But the Daily News offers you something no other paper can, a real taste of New York. We have some writers on staff that have been with us for over fifteen years. We have the best features! More photographs than any other daily in New York! And we have the most reliable delivery in the city! Now what do you think??!!
SETH: Alright, Ron. Now that was a sales call. Good job!
SALESMAN: So are you going to buy a subscription? SETH: No. I already get the Times.

[Pumchavas28]

Is that a speech or a Convo?

[zrf2002]

Is that a speech or a Convo?

some of both... there are some great dialogues in boiler room, i figured i would post some of them:cool:

[Pumchavas28]

Junction Boys

Bear Bryant (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000297/): I don't care who your daddy is. I don't care what kind of All-Conference bull**** you were in high school. I don't care what the last coach promised you. Y'all been fartin' up wind too long.

Bear Bryant (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000297/): There's something you need to know, aside from the fact that we're likely to throw the ball maybe twice a decade. I was an end at 'Bama and I played four quarters against Tennessee dragging a broken leg around. Now what's this **** I hear about an elbow?

Bear Bryant (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000297/): I've never seen a team this bad! Half the players are smaller than monkey cajones, the other half are slower than smoke off ****! Where did you get these turds?

Bear Bryant (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000297/): [after Skeet has been injured] Ahhh, what now?


Bear Bryant (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000297/): [as Hinshaw's broken arm is being mended] Serves you right for getting married, Hinshaw. All your football's runnin' out the end of your prick!

Bear Bryant (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000297/): We're going to work now!

I had forgotten about the boiler room quotes. Those are great.

[TexAg77]

I'll let somebody else find it but what about Jack Nicholson's speech from the witness stand in a Few Good Men?

Truth. You want the truth? You can't take the truth!
