The Departed
- William Costigan Sr.
You know, if your father were alive, and saw you here sitting with me, let's say he would have a word with me about this. In fact, he'd kill seven guys just to cut my throat, and he could do it. That's maybe something you don't know about William Costigan, Sr.
The Departed
- An Elite Unit
This unit is new, and you are the newest members of it. You have been selected on the basis of intelligence and aptitude. This is an elite unit. Our job is to smash or marginally disrupt organized crime in the city by enhanced cooperation of the FBI, represented here today by agent Frank Lazio. And we will do it. And by organized crime in the city, you know who we mean.
The Departed
- A Captain's Advice
Marriage is an important part of getting ahead: lets people know you're not a homo; married guy seems more stable; people see the ring, they think at least somebody can stand the son of a bitch; ladies see the ring, they know immediately you must have some cash or your cock must work.
The Departed
- An Honest Question
We have a question: Do you want to be a cop, or do you want to appear to be a cop? It's an honest question. A lot of guys just want to appear to be cops. Gun, badge, pretend they're on TV.
The Departed
- My Section...
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's say you have no idea and leave it at that, okay? No idea. Zip. None. If you had an idea of what we do, we would not be good at what we do, would we? We would be cunts. Are you calling us cunts?
The Departed
- Non Serviam
Church wants you on your place. Kneel, stand, kneel, stand. If you go for that sort of thing, I don't know what to do for you. A man makes his own way. No one gives it to you. You have to take it. "Non serviam."
The Departed
- Dignam Digging In
Your fuckin' family's dug into the Southie projects like ticks. Three-decker men at best. You, however, grew up on the North Shore, huh? Well, la-di-fuckin'-da. You were kind of a double kid, I bet, right? Huh? One kid with your old man, one kid with your mother. You're upper-middle class during the weeks, then you're droppin' your "R"s and you're hangin' in the big, bad Southie projects with your daddy, the fuckin' donkey on the weekends. I got that right?
The Departed
- A Product of My Environment
I don't want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me. Years ago we had the church. That was only a way of saying we had each other. The Knights of Columbus were real head-breakers; true guineas. They took over their piece of the city. Twenty years after an Irishman couldn't get a fucking job, we had the presidency; may he rest in peace.
The Departed
- What's the Difference?
When you decide to be something, you can be it. That's what they don't tell you in the church. When I was your age they would say we can become cops, or criminals. Today, what I'm saying to you is this: when you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?
The Departed
- A Feudal Enterprise
Frank, how many of these guys have been with you long enough to be disgruntled, huh? Think about it. You don't pay much, you know. It's almost a fuckin' feudal enterprise. The question is, and this is the only question: who thinks that they can do what you do better than you?
A Clockwork Orange
- From the Mouth of Alex DeLarge (4)
So now it was to be Georgie the General, saying what we should do and what not to do, with Dim as his mindless, grinning bulldog. But then I viddied that thinking is for the gloopy ones and the oomny ones use, like, inspiration and what Bog sends. For now it was lovely music that came to my aid, there was a window open with the stereo on and I viddied right at once what to do.
A Clockwork Orange
- From the Mouth of Alex DeLarge (3)
What you got back home, little sister, to play your fuzzy warbles on? I bet you got, say, pitiful, portable picnic players. Come with uncle and hear all proper! Hear angels' trumpets and devils' trombones. You are invited!
A Clockwork Orange
- From the Mouth of Alex DeLarge (2)
There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim. And we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our razudoks what to do with the evening. The Korova Milkbar sold milk-plus; milk-plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and get you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.
A Clockwork Orange
- From the Mouth of Alex DeLarge
"As I was saying, Alex, you can be instrumental in changing the public verdict. Do you understand, Alex? Have I made myself clear?" - "As an unmuddied lake, Fred. As clear as an azure sky of deepest summer. You can rely on me, Fred."
from the movie Excalibur
- Knighting King Arthur
In the name of God, Saint Michael, and Saint George: I give you the right to bear arms and the power to mete justice.' 'That duty I will solemnly obey; as knight and king.' 'I never saw this!' 'Rise, King Arthur. I am your humble knight and I swear allegiance of the courage in your veins; so strong it is, its source must be Uther Pendragon. I doubt you no more.

- There Will Be Blood (6)
And this is why I can guarantee to start drilling and to put up the cash to back my word. I assure you, ladies and gentlemen, whatever the others promise to do, when it comes to the showdown, they won't be there.
Paul Thomas Anderson
- There Will Be Blood (5)
I'm fixed like no other company in this field and that's because my Coyote Hills well has just come in - I have a string of tools all ready to put to work... I can load a rig onto trucks and have them here in a week. I have business connections so I can get the lumber for the derrick - such things go by friendship in a rush like this.
Paul Thomas Anderson
- There Will Be Blood (4)
I do my own drilling and the men that work for me, work for me and they are men I know. I make it my business to be there and see to their work. I don't lose my tools in the hole and spend months fishing for them; I don't botch the cementing off and let water in the hole and ruin the whole lease.
Paul Thomas Anderson
- There Will Be Blood (3)
Even if you find one that has money, and means to drill, he'll maybe know nothing about drilling and he'll have to hire out the job on contract - and then you're depending on a contractor that's trying to rush the job through - so he can get another contract just as quick as he can. This is the way that this works.
Paul Thomas Anderson
- There Will Be Blood (2)
You have a great chance here - but bear in mind: you can lose it all if you're not careful. Out of all men that beg for a chance to drill your lots, maybe one in twenty will be oil men; the rest will be speculators - men trying to get between you and the oil men - to get some of the money that ought by rights come to you.
