From Here and There

Famous quotations from various origins

A few lines from various arenas of my mind's playground. Can you guess the films?

Emperor Commodus

Rise. Rise! Your fame is well-deserved Spaniard. Or, as for this young man, he insists you are Hector reborn. (Maximus remains kneeling) Why doesn't the hero reveal himself and tell us all his real name? You do have a name? My name is Gladiator. (Maximus turns on Emperor Commodus.) How dare you turn your back to me?! Slave! You will remove your helmet and tell me your name.

Maximus

My name is Maximus Desmus Meridius. Commander of the armies of the North. General of the Felix Legions. Loyal servant to the true Emperor Marcus Arelius. Father to a murdered son. Husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.

Crowd

Live! Live! Live! Live!

Commodus motions for crowd to hush. Then, slowly, gives a 'Thumbs up'. He allows Maximus to live.

Coach Yoast

Alright. Defense, on me. Alright, now. I don't them to gain another yard. You blitz all night! If they cross that line of scrimmage I'm going to take every last one of you out. You make sure they remember, forever, the night they played the Titans! Leave no doubt.

Defense sacks the quarterback.

Julius talks trash to the fallen player.

You better make yourself comfortable down there. Real comfortable.

Police officer rolls up to Julius in neighborhood.

Julius

Officer.

Officer

Heck of a game you boys played the other night. 

Julius

Thank--thank you, Officer.

Officer

Best defense I've seen in twenty years. You tell that Coach of yours to keep up the good work.

Julius

Oh yeah. Yes, sir. I'll do that.

Marci

1.7 for three years?! Man, we owe more than that!

Rod

Jerry, I'm worried. I'm getting worried. 

Jerry

It's alright. It's alright. This is how these things go. We're going to roll with this problem.

Marci

What do you mean 'roll with this problem'? You ask me, you haven't gotten emotional enough over this man. You know what? Somebody get me Bob Sugar on the line. 

Jerry

You wanna leave me?

Marci

You know, a lot of agents say a lot of s**t. So what do you stand for? Huh? What do you stand for?!

Dorothy

How about a little piece of integrity in this world that is so full of greed and lack of honor ability that I don't even know what to tell my son?! Except here: here's a guy who isn't yelling "show me the money"? You know he is broke, and working for you for free? Broke. Broke, broke, broke. I'm sorry. -I'm just not as good at the insults as she is. 

Marci

No, that was pretty good. 

Rod

No s**t.

Dorothy

Rod, let me show you something.

Dorothy walks into kitchen, about to show him Jerry's Mission Statement from S.M.I. days.

Jerry

Oh, no no no no no.

Dorothy

Jerry, I just think if he see's this then--

Jerry

No, let's head back into the living room area--

Rod

Jerry--tell me what to do. You tell me this is all we can get, this is the best we can get. 

Marci

The best we can get?

Rod

Marci, please. I'm talking with my agent here.

Marci

No, Rod. This is what you're going to do. This is what you're going to do: you're going to reject that s****y contract. You're going to play out the rest of your existing s****y contract. And you're going to go and be a Free Agent next year. Baby, this is us. You and me. Hey, we determine our worth. Baby, you are a proud, strong, surviving, splendid black man.

Rod

Marci. You're the s**t! (laughs and kisses her)

Jerry

If you get injured, you get zero.

Rod 

It won't happen. I'm strong in mind.

Marci

That's right.

Jerry

Rod, it's a risk. 

Rod

Hey hey hey. You bet on me like I bet on you. Huh? (Offers his hand in agreement.)

Rod

You know?! Huh? You there, baby? You there?!
