Corporal Wainfleet: What-what the hell are you doing?
Trudy Chacon: I didn't sign up for this shit!
Regime Flash: He was right. This isn't what we signed up for.
Yellow Lantern: We did our job. We eliminated crime.
Regime Flash: Billy wasn't a criminal; he was...
Yellow Lantern: A casualty of war. Acceptable losses.
Regime Flash: Acceptable?! I let myself believe we were making things better. But we're not. I can't do this anymore. I'm done.

"The only real risk to you as the night watchmen here, if any, is the fact that these characters... Uhh, if they happen to see you after hours probably won't recognize you as a person. They'll-they'll most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without its costume on. Now, since that's against the rules at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, They'll probably try ta... forcefully stuff you inside a Freddy Fazbear suit. Umm, now that wouldn't be so bad if the suits themselves weren't filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices, especially around the facial area, so you can imagine how having your head forced inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort... and death. Uhh... The only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth that would pop out the front of the mask... Yeah, they don't tell you these things when you sign up..."

Ken: The boy's suicidal, Harry. Keeps going on about hell and purgatory-
Harry: When I phoned you yesterday, did I ask you, "Ken, would you do me a favour and become Ray's psychiatrist, please?" No. What I think I asked you was, "Would you go blow his fucking head off for me?" "He's suicidal"? I'm suicidal, you're suicidal, everyone's fucking suicidal. We don't all keep going on about it! Has he killed himself yet? No, so he's not fucking suicidal, is he?
Ken: He put a loaded gun to his head this morning. I stopped him.
Harry: He...What?! This gets fucking worse!
Ken: We were down the park...
Harry: Let me get this right. You were down in the park? What's that got to do with fucking anything? Let me get this right. Not only have you refused to kill the boy, you even stopped the boy from killing himself, which would have solved my problem, which would have solved your problem, which sounds like it would have solved the boy's problem.
Ken: It wouldn't have solved his problem.
Harry: Ken, if I had killed a little kid, accidentally or otherwise, I wouldn't have thought twice. I'd have killed myself on the fucking spot. On the fucking spot. I would've stuck the gun in me mouth on the fucking spot!
Ken: That's you, Harry. The boy has the capacity to change. The boy has the capacity to do something decent with his life.
Harry: Excuse me, Ken. I have the capacity to change!
Ken: Yeah, you do. You've the capacity to get fucking worse!
Harry: When I phoned you yesterday, did I ask you, "Ken, would you do me a favour and become Ray's psychiatrist, please?"

Rafe Adler: Sam just stole our goddamn boat! He's headed for Avery's ship. Come on!
Nadine Ross: Let him. We're done.
Rafe: We're done?!
Nadine: Most of my men are dead, Rafe. And those who aren't have already left.
Rafe: Do you see that? The end is literally in sight!
Nadine: That maniac Pirate of yours has rigged this entire cave. I'm not setting foot on his ship!
Rafe: Nadine, if you cut and run right now... the loss of all your men, everything we've lost... is for nothing.
Nadine: We have millions in gold right here. I'd say that plus our lives is something. (prepares to walk away)
Rafe: No wonder so many of your men abandoned you.
Nadine: Excuse me?
Rafe: We're on the verge of making history here, and you're willing to just walk off with a pittance- a fraction- of what Sam's gonna find on that boat.
Nadine: If he can walk away from there alive, he can have it. Hell, I'd say he's earned it. God knows you didn't.
Nadine Ross: Let him. We're done.
Rafe: We're done?!
Nadine: Most of my men are dead, Rafe. And those who aren't have already left.

Talion (upon realizing that the Ringwraith he's going to Brand is Isildur): I cannot allow this. Isildur, I release you. (sticks his sword through Isildur's head, killing the Ringwraith)
Celebrimbor: Talion, no!
Talion: Find peace in death.
Celebrimbor (appears before Talion): He was not yours to release!
Talion: And he was not yours to enslave!
Eltariel: He did more than that. (to Celebrimbor) You broke Sauron's hold. You dominated him.
Celebrimbor: And I will dominate Sauron. His armies will be mine.
Talion: We are meant to destroy Sauron.
Celebrimbor: Sauron cannot be destroyed.
Eltariel: Celebrimbor is right. We fight and fight but evil always returns. Talion, we can end this here.
Celebrimbor: We must ensure Mordor is restored to light, not darkness. (walks over to Eltariel)
Talion: I will not trade one Dark Lord for another. This is not the end I have fought for!
Eltariel: But you are not the only one fighting.
Celebrimbor: No. He is not. (stalks towards Talion, glaring at him) This is not about your petty vengeance. Or mine. This is about restoring order to Mordor. To all of Middle-Earth. (puts a hand on Talion's shoulder) The end you fought for? You are but a vessel... and there are others. (Celebrimbor pulls his ring off Talion's finger and presents it to Eltariel)
Celebrimbor: Talion, no!
Talion: Find peace in death.
Celebrimbor (appears before Talion): He was not yours to release!
Talion: And he was not yours to enslave!

Douglas: If I'm alive in an hour, I'm riding away, Creel. Just thought you'd like to know.
Bo Creel: You're not working for Davidson anymore?
Douglas: I've had enough. I've fought in range wars and railroad wars and just about every sort of war you can think of. But I don't like what me did to the people down here. I'm tired of it stickin' in my craw.
Bo Creel: Does Davidson know about that?
Douglas: I don't work for the man anymore. It's none of his business.
