    Leave the gun take the canoloies(The Godfather)

    Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.(The godfather part 2)

    Your going to need a bigger boat(jaws)

    Col. Jessep: Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

    Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: What is your major malfunction, numbnuts? Didn't Mommy and Daddy show you enough attention when you were a child?

    Major T. J. "King" Kong: Goldie, how many times have I told you guys that I don't want no horsing around on the airplane?

    Major T. J. "King" Kong: Well, I've been to one world fair, a picnic, and a rodeo, and that's the stupidest thing I ever heard come over a set of earphones. You sure you got today's codes?

    Bailey: Maybe the truth is there's a little bit of loser in all of us you know, being happy isnt having everything in your life being perfect. Maybe it's about stringing together all the little things like wearing these pants, or getting to a new level of Dragon Slayer. Making those count more then the bad stuff. Maybe we just get through it. And that's all we can ask for.

    Four quotes, for me.

    ---

    When I raise my flashing sword, and my hand takes hold on judgment, I will take vengeance upon mine enemies, and I will repay those who haze me. Oh, Lord, raise me to Thy right hand and count me among Thy saints.

    ---

    Never shall innocent blood be shed. Yet the blood of the wicked shall flow like a river. The three shall spread their blackened wings and be the vengeful striking hammer of God.

    -----

    And Shepherds we shall be, for Thee my lord for Thee.

    Power hath decended forth from Thy hand,

    that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.

    So we shall flow a river forth to Thee,

    and teeming with souls shall it ever be,

    In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

    -----

    Connor: Now you will receive us.

    Murphy: We do not ask for your poor, or your hungry.

    Connor: We do not want your tired and sick.

    Murphy: It is your corrupt we claim.

    Connor: It is your evil that will be sought by us.

    Murphy: With every breath, we shall hunt them down.

    Connor: Each day we will spill their blood, 'til it rains down from the skies.

    Murphy: Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace.

    Connor: These are not polite suggestions, these are codes of behavior, and those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost.

    Murphy: There are varying degrees of evil. We urge you lesser forms of filth, not to push the bounds and cross over, into true corruption, into our domain.

    Connor: For if you do, one day you will look behind you and you will see we three, and on that day you will reap it.

    Murphy: And we will send you to whatever god you wish.
