Thread of movie quotes only...?

Carlito's Way,

Carlito:

'No favour. I owe you. Favour gonna kill you faster than a bullet.'

'And if I don’t do it, they’re gonna say: “Carlito, he’s flaky, man. Slacked-out. A used-to-be bad guy. Joint got to Carlito.” The street is watchin’. She is watchin’ all the time.'

'You ain’t a lawyer no more, Dave. You’re a gangster now. You’re on the other side. Whole new ball game. You can’t learn about it at school, and you can’t have a late start.'

'When you can’t see the angles no more, you’re in trouble, baby. You’re in trouble.'

Saso:

'What has happened to you? What are you acting like this for? It doesn’t make sense that you should hate this guy. Because this guy is you, twenty years ago'.
 
Blade Runner,

Roy Batty:

'Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave.'

'I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.'
 
"Pilgrim, you caused a lot of trouble this morning, might have got somebody killed... and somebody oughta belt you in the mouth. But I won't, I won't....the hell I won't!" (Nails him in the mouth)

"Cuthbert H. Humphrey, Governor of our territory, is a cull. Do you know what a cull is, ma'am? A cull is a specimen that is so worthless that you have to cut him out of the herd. Now if all the people in the world were put in one herd, Cuthbert is the one I would throw a rope at."

John Wayne, McClintock
 
Trainspotting,

Renton:

'The downside of coming off junk was I knew I would need to mix with my friends again in a state of full consciousness. It was awful. They reminded me so much of myself, I could hardly bear to look at them. Take Sick Boy, for instance. He came off junk at the same time as me — not because he wanted to, you understand, but just to annoy me. Just to show me how easily he could do it, thereby downgrading my own struggle. Sneaky f****r, don't you think?'

'I fantasize about a massive, pristine convenience. Brilliant gold taps, virginal white marble, a seat carved from ebony, a cistern full of Chanel Number 5, and a flunky handing me pieces of raw silk toilet roll. But under the circumstances I'll settle for anywhere'.

'Thank you, your honor. With God's help I'll conquer this terrible affliction'.
 
Spinal Tap,

'Marty DiBergi: Do you feel that playing rock 'n' roll music keeps you a child? That is, keeps you in a state of arrested development?

Derek Smalls: No. No. No. I feel it's like, it's more like going, going to a, a national park or something. And there's, you know, they preserve the moose. And that's, that's my childhood up there on stage. That moose, you know.

Marty DiBergi: So when you're playing you feel like a preserved moose on stage?

Derek Smalls: Yeah.'
--------------------------------

David St. Hubbins: I believe virtually everything I read, and I think that is what makes me more of a selective human than someone who doesn't believe anything.

Marty DiBergi: "This pretentious ponderous collection of religious rock psalms is enough to prompt the question, 'What day did the Lord create Spinal Tap, and couldn't he have rested on that day too?'"

David St. Hubbins: [talking about Nigel] I'm tired of sticking up for his intelligence.
 
Dead Man's Shoes,

Richard: God will forgive them. He'll forgive them and allow them into Heaven. I can't live with that.

A Clockwork Orange,

Alex: Initiative comes to thems that wait.

Kill Bill Volume 1,

The Bride to O-Ren: あなたと私は未完の仕事を持っている - 'You and I have unfinished business'.
