Macreedy: All strangers do, hmm? Reno Smith: No, they don't. Not all of them. Some do, when they come around snooping... John J. Macreedy: Snooping for what? Reno Smith: I don't know, outsiders coming in, looking for something... John J. Macreedy: Looking for what? Reno Smith: I don't know! Somebody's always looking for something in this part of the West. To the historian it's the Old West, to the book writer it's the Wild West, to the businessman it's the Undeveloped West -- they say we're all poor and backward, and I guess we are, we don't even have enough water. But to us, this place is *our* West, and I wish they'd leave us alone! John J. Macreedy: Leave you alone to do what? Reno Smith: I don't know what you mean.

*GRACE* p2 of 2 MCEVERS: GRACE is actually two satellites. As they approach an area that has just had a storm, for example, the extra weight of that water pulls the satellites. FAMIGLIETTI: So, as they approach this region that has more mass and therefore a greater gravitational tug, the first one gets pulled down and accelerates a little bit. Second one comes in, it gets pulled down, accelerates a little bit. So, the distance between the two changes. That’s the measurement that the GRACE Mission makes, it’s the position of the satellites. MCEVERS: In this way, GRACE can tell us the difficult truth about our aquifers. MCEVERS: In California, the groundwater took thousands of years to accumulate, and we are using this fossil water much faster than it can be replaced. Here in Arizona so much water has been pumped from underground that the ground has dropped and ripped apart.
*GRACE* p1 of 2 KELLY MCEVERS, Journalist: Many aquifers contain what’s called “fossil water,” and what that means is it took thousands of years to get here. It is not easy to follow the water that is hidden underground. But you might have seen these circles from a plane. With a metal straw and a diesel engine, we can reach aquifers 3000 feet down. Humanity started this kind of industrial pumping of water just a hundred years ago. And it’s been so successful nearly half the water used for farm irrigation comes from underground. This water grows almost one fifth of the world’s food supply. We have been draining aquifers with little idea of how much water is in them—until now. When Jay and his colleagues launched GRACE—which stands for Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment—they designed the system to do the impossible: to see into the Earth’s crust, using gravity.
Butterfly Effect P5 of 5:: REPORTER: These people calling for the regime to change are on the back foot. They're being forced from their homes and pushed towards the border with Turkey. As migrants pour into Europe, in the U.K.-- we see this filmed on TV throughout the summer of 2015- it plays very well to the Brexit Leave debate. REPORTER: The Leave campaign celebrates as the U.K. votes to cut its ties with the European Union. McEVERS: The fear of mass migration directly impacted the Brexit vote in Britain. And, according to Troy, even had an impact here in America. STERNBERG: If we go further, this news plays out in the U.S. Donald Trump gets elected on this very nativist "America first" theme. We will build a wall. McEVERS: Troy's concern is that the water crisis can spark an even more dramatic chain of events in other parts of the world.
Butterfly Effect P4 of 5:: McEVERS: Which brings us back to Syria. Inspired by the Arab Spring uprisings and suffering from their own drought, Syrian protesters also took to the streets. REPORTER: The Syrian government made it very clear today that it will tolerate no dissent. McEVERS: Events escalated And Mahmoud's family was caught in the crossfire. (speaking Arabic) INTERPRETER: I lost my son and I lost my wife in this war. My wife was on the way to the market in Damascus. On the rooftops, there were some snipers and she have got a shot in the head. So I'm afraid for the rest of the family, and we came here, and here they were helping us, and here they were helping us, and they, they were supporting us. McEVERS: Water or drought is of course only one factor that influenced these events. But when a million refugees fled to Europe, the falling dominoes came down much closer to home.
Butterfly Effect P3 of 5:: STERNBERG: They have a great fiscal and infrastructure power-- ships around the world that can transport wheat. Other countries don't have this possibility. McEVERS: By the time some Arab governments realized what was going on, it was too late.. Prices for bread went way up. STERNBERG: In Egypt, the wheat prices skyrocketed 300% and more. REPORTER: In recent weeks, there have been long queues in front of bakeries. Rising prices have even caused riots in the Nile delta. McEVERS: Hunger began to fuel people's anger toward their governments... STERNBERG: We see food riots in Cairo... REPORTER: After Friday prayers, hundreds of thousands of demonstrators gathered in Tahrir Square. REPORTER: The people of Egypt have toppled their leader. Egypt will never be the same. And that's where the Arab Spring really brings everything together.
Butterfly Effect P2 of 5: STERNBERG: So, as Egypt needs more wheat and China needs more wheat, there is less wheat available. McEVERS: Then, in 2010, another domino fell. Russia, the largest exporter of wheat to the Middle East, was gripped by a devastating heat wave. (Vladimir Putin speaking Russian) (translated): Due to abnormally high temperatures and drought, I believe it's reasonable to introduce a temporary ban on grain and wheat products export. McEVERS: With wheat exports from Russia reduced by 80%, world prices skyrocketed. REPORTER: It's Christmas for the speculators as prices drive upwards, wheat by a whopping 130%. STERNBERG: There's a limited supply, great demand... McEVERS: Speculators on the commodities market saw an opportunity--they bought and held on to the wheat while prices rose. Richer countries can stockpile the grain.
Butterfly Effect P1 of 5: McEVERS: It was a set of dominoes that collapsed over a ten-year period. And it started when Australia faced a drought described as "a 1,000-year event." McEVERS: During the winter, countries in the Northern Hemisphere depend on the Southern Hemisphere for wheat. And the drought threatened Australia's ability to supply this winter wheat to the rest of the world. Then, the next domino fell. In 2010, mainland China suffered its own drought. REPORTER: The drought ravaging China is being called the worst in a century. STERNBERG: Wheat is a global commodity traded on the international market, so liable to market forces. So, if China needs more wheat, my thinking was: does this have another impact somewhere else in the world? McEVERS: Troy followed the trail to the Middle East, where farmers were suffering from their own drought. And with the wheat issues in Australia and China, it affected food prices in Syria and Egypt

Quotations

I'll miss you, Mary. -I'll miss you, too, you old nut. Thanks. === Well, Liguori... this is the last race... at Pimlico. === You, of all people, should know how strong she is. She didn't yield, Rachel. She chose. And I'd rather have one like Mary who chooses, than 100 who yield. You know, she has so much to give. All our sisters do, but Mary will give with joy and laughter. And defiance, I imagine. In fact, I have a feeling that someday, many people... even those in the highest places... will know that Mary Clancy came our way. She has some scathingly brilliant ideas. === You could've told me. Why didn't you tell me? -You don't know how much I wanted to tell you. I hope it's wonderful. Honest, I do. Boy, you'll make some crazy nun. How about that? -Uncle George nearly died when I told him. === Who knows, Reverend Mother... maybe one day Rachel will come back and join the order. -If she does, I quit.
Sister Constance is leaving? - How about that? I bet her lover, who went off to war or something... finally found her here, and now she's going to give up being a nun. You always said she was a flawless beauty... and it was absolutely criminal for her to be trapped into being a nun. === But how can you stop being a nun? - Stop being a nun? Wherever did you get such an idea? Aren't you? - Heavens, no. Mary, this isn't just a club you resign from. You see, I'm going to the Philippines. There's a leper colony there and I'm going to teach the sick children. But suppose you get it? You're so beautiful. It's so unfair that they should send you to a place like that. -But I asked to be sent, Mary. They need teachers very badly. The disease is controlled and much less dangerous than people think. But suppose you do get it? -Then I'll pray I'll have the strength to endure. I want to go, Mary. - You really do? Cross my heart. - You're really happy about it, aren't you? Very happy.
What is it? -A cocktail dress. However did you manage to make it come out looking like this? -I didn't. It just happened. === I was only a seamstress. But I had visions of creating my own designs... in the house of Madeleine Rouche challenging the great Chanel. That was my name, Madeleine Rouche. I remember standing behind the curtains with the fitters... when the collections were shown. The buyers came from all over the world. Many times, as I watched the models display the gowns, I'd think... now I would have done that one differently... used a different fabric... something that had more movement, more mystery... I know it's vanity, of course. But I think I could have made a success of it. -But how could you give it up? I found something better. === I wonder if my father knows he's paying good money... to have me educated to be a janitor.
Is it vanity that I want them to win the band competition? -I don't think so, Reverend Mother. You're absolutely right. It's avarice. We need that prize money. Your kindness will be rewarded, I know it will. -From your mouth to God's ear. === I know St. Francis gives the impression of being palatial... and there are some very lovely things here... treasures Mr. Gaffney collected when this was his home... but the truth is the building is ====== Boy, she's got a memory like an elephant. === How are we going to ditch Sister Elizabeth? -When she's explaining Picasso, or something... we'll tell her we just have to go to the powder room. That is the most scathingly brilliant idea ever. === They're just as rotten as we are. Except for one thing. They have uniforms. White slacks with purple stripes... and jackets with buttons and epaulets. And caps with visors. Purple. And white leather boots. - Boots? Gorgeous.
And Rachel? -Rachel? Rachel has a home and parents who love her. -She's a follower, not a leader. She can be guided. But, Mary... Mary has a will of iron. To bend but not to break. To yield but not capitulate. To have pride... but also humility. This has always been my struggle, Sister. Can I be less tolerant of Mary than the Church has been of me? === You're a fake, Liguori, and you know it. You miss them as much as I do. === It had a hat to match, but my father said it made me look like a chippy. Whatever that is. === You got a new hairdo. - You, too. Elizabeth Arden, Rome. -And I had my ears pierced. Look, 14-carat gold.
Pots... from now until the end of the term... and a 1,000-word essay, double-spaced... on "The evils of smoking... "and why I gave it up." -I was going to give up smoking anyway. Never did like it. === I knew you wouldn't expel them. -It's a good thing you didn't make book on it. You might have been taken to the laundry. To the cleaners, Mother. -It's the point, not the vernacular, that's important. I intended to expel them. I was determined to expel them. It wasn't an easy decision... but I had reached it, and they were going to go. What they did could have had very serious consequences. Yes, I know. -We can't permit anarchy, can we? We can't remain passive in the face of utter disregard... for personal safety and property, now, can we? Of course not. -Still, I couldn't do it. I couldn't expose Mary to that man and his... secretaries. She's still a child... and my conscience wouldn't permit it.
I realize that Mary is a high-spirited young girl. -High-spirited, my foot. I beg you to consider the fact that Mary is an orphan. I've had to be both father and mother to my dear dead brother's only child. === My devotion to her. Well, no matter how busy I am... I always find time for a little visit with her. === I have a feeling we're going to get bounced. -My father will kill me. I could live with that, but it's what my mother's going to do that I can't stand. What? - She'll act like a martyr. === Hello, Uncle George. - Don't you speak to me. === Hi, Daddy. Daddy, sir? -For two cents, I'd put you in San Quentin myself. === And do you know why you were reprieved? Because I'm convinced that it would be a cruel and unchristian act... to let you two loose on an unsuspecting world. The world is not yet ready for you.
I hope I die young... and very wealthy. === That there's no such thing as Silent Sunday. We're the victims of a fiendish plot. 'cause she's sick of all the noise. === Your niece, Mr. Clancy, and your daughter, Mr. Devery... have committed their last felony at St. Francis. For two years now, the sisters and I have endured... that which would try the patience of a saint. And since there's been no word from the Holy Father in Rome... that he is about to bestow sainthood upon us... I am putting an end to our martyrdom. === Never in all my years have I met... two likelier candidates for San Quentin. === There is no explanation you could possibly offer me... as to why I should not expel those two criminals, and that is final! I think I'm going to kill myself. - Catholics aren't allowed to. === We hope some of you new girls will join the band. Talent is desirable but not essential.
I adore your hair. You look so French. - Saks, $22.95. === Welcome back to Happy Acres. A number of your parents have commented on the fact... that they find you singularly clumsy. After some observation, I must conclude they are justified. === Yes, Reverend Mother. Sister Ursula said: "Go walk in the woods. Breathe the air. It's good for you." So we did. -Evidently, Sister Ursula's German accent amuses you. I didn't know she was German, Reverend Mother. -Then surely you didn't know that during the war... Sister Ursula kept 34 Jewish children hidden... for more than two years in the cellar of a destroyed convent outside of Munich. And that when this was finally discovered, she was imprisoned. She suffered untold indignities, and she...
"...youth quality of stirring innocence... "invariably reproaches the world of the adult. "The exclusively attractive charm of the young... "makes nonsense of their sophistications. "The poet Wordsworth, recalling his youth... "perceived the child as prophet... "a witness to the vision which the world has largely lost. "The child, he says, comes from the hand of his creator... "trailing clouds of glory. In the morning of his creation... "he participates in the many-splendored creativity of his maker. "He is ingenuous, but ingenious... "simple, yet profoundly wise... "a hidden fountain from which bubbles forth... "a defiance of the wrinkles of age. "There is yet another quality... "which endows the child with an aura of mystery. "It is his remoteness. "He is unfathomable in his privacy, inscrutable in his design. "And with the philosophers of old... "he believes there is not much one can do but bury a man. "When the last of his..."
The only desperation around here, Mr. Petrie, is that of the sisters... who cope with that product of progressive education... you have inflicted upon us, namely, Rachel Devery. -I hardly expect you... to completely accept New Trends' creative concept of education. It's an abomination. - See here, Reverend Mother... You see here, young man. In the seven months that child has been at St. Francis... there hasn't been a day the sisters haven't had to struggle... with her colossal ignorance in elementary matters... as reading, writing, and arithmetic. Not mathematics, mind you, arithmetic. As for the social graces, I'm convinced... that your school encourages barbarism... and concerns itself only with freethinking, freewheeling, and finger painting. -The finest educational minds in the country happen to be on our side. God is on ours. === I've got to do the pots all week. - Oh, heck. Mother Superior said that the detergent might help to wash away my sins.
"I'm a captive in a nunnery." -If you wanna get sprung, you'll have to do better than that. Anyway, what makes you think he'll drive here from New Trends? He said I could call on him anytime I needed him. We were very simpatico. "My parents won't do anything... and Mother Superior is prosecuting me." -Persecuting. "She said I'm the devil's agent." -She meant you were my stooge. === Tell Mr. Petrie... that Mother Superior is stifling your creative flow. That's a fact. -And I'll tell him that if I don't get out of here... I'm seriously contemplating an act of... Desperation. - Yeah. === One of us may have to go. But I guarantee you it won't be me. === What did Mother Superior say to you? -I wouldn't repeat it in this sacred place. How long are you gonna be grounded? -I have to do the Stations of the Cross twice every day. How about you?
Some of you may not know that St. Francis is not only a school... but the motherhouse of our order. It's where the young sisters come for their novitiate... and the old sisters retire. === Maybe we'll be struck dead if we defile the sanctorum. -We did it yesterday and we're still alive. Don't be so medieval. === Cloister Tours will show you that mystery of mysteries... where Mother Superior sleeps. === What do you expect for 35 cents? Hair shirts? === What does this remind you of? - Napoleon's retreat from Moscow. === But we're supposed to know how to swim before we get out of here. -We've got three years. === Pots. === That's what I like to see. A true penitent. I'm sure the floor must be cold. I think you can ponder your sins just as easily with a little help. === I've got the most scathingly brilliant idea. -I think it's a stinking idea! === This is the St. Christopher medal today, Valerie. -Couple more medals and she can start her own church.
Really, a child your age smoking! -I'm not a child, madam, I'm a midget with bad habits. === I've got the most scathingly brilliant idea. === Then throw out your chests and breathe in the fresh air. Out, out with your chest. - It's as out as it'll go. === Boy, she's a fink! - President of the club. === The way she talked to us you'd think we were criminals. -The only difference between this place and a girls' reformatory... is the tuition. And we got enrolled instead of committed. === How did you happen to get sent to St. Francis? -Well, age and money were on my parents' side. How about you? Uncle George said he'd lay odds the nuns could straighten me out. -And what did you say? And I asked him, "What odds?" === You know, maybe it won't be so bad here, after all. I mean, you and I are certainly simpatico. === It may come as something of a surprise to you... but smoking, drinking, and similar extracurricular activities... are not permitted at St. Francis.
Treasure the times with your elderly parents during this holiday season: And when my husband died, everything was gone. Money, house, everything. Everything was gone. === ...so my son said he'd come tomorrow. He has a new car. Well, practically new. He couldn't come last year because the children had the flu. But this year he's coming and I'm so happy... You know, they kept my social security? I didn't know that they would. They never told me they would keep my social security. === My children said I could come... and have a Christmas at their house. But they didn't come. I had gifts for them. -There may have been a very good reason why they couldn't come. But it's Christmas, and they promised. I did everything for them when they were little. -Nothing was too hard. Then do one thing more. What? -Be happy. That's the greatest gift a mother can give her children. It's the season of our savior's birthday and there must be no tears.

That's not important. The important question is: who are you? America has become a cruel and vicious place. We reward the shallowest, the dumbest, the meanest and the loudest. We no longer have any common sense of decency. No sense of shame. There is no right and wrong. The worst qualities in people are looked up to and celebrated. Lying and spreading fear is fine as long as you make money doing it. We've become a nation of slogan-saying, bile-spewing hatemongers. We've lost our kindness. We've lost our soul.

No other forensic had Contact with the body. We've already informed her. The Circuit's been disconnected. All the cameras are out except one. I've paused the recording. Something's grabbed his attention. No alarm went off, so we think this is when the security cameras went out. He left his post for 5 minutes. When he came back, this is what happened.

Your wife's body has disappeared. - What do you mean "disappeared"? === How could anyone know anything? Only you and I knew. Did you talk to anyone? - What'?

A hundred grand might pass between a gambler and a casino in one night, But during those eight or nine hours, brokers are typically moving millions back and forth, exchanging chips. brokers are typically moving millions back and forth, exchanging chips. Let the little fish fight it out. The fisherman always wins in the end. === Xiao-Ou, we all know that as long as a broker doesn't gamble, he'll end up rich. If he gambles, he'll end up a broker again. But you don't gamble. So why aren't you rich? Because you gamble with your feelings. === I didn't recognize those hands anymore. Those hands that started with humble pancakes, and went on to build skyscrapers, now folding cards like a two-bit gambler. How embarrassing. He's no longer the man he was, but he still has intensity and sophistication. He mustered up the same smile he gave me when we first met.
You haven't told me what a casino broker does. ... Well, basically... I work in customer service. -What kind of service? Depends what the client wants. If a client wants chips, he can buy them in cash from the casino, or get a line of credit with us, then pay back the credit line with cash. I'm like a middleman. -Or a walking credit card. You could say that. -Isn't it more convenient to buy chips with cash? We provide anonymity. -That's great if your clients win, but what if they lose? We make them pay back the debt. -Sounds risky. If a few clients renege, you could go bankrupt. That rarely happens. === You can gamble against a casino, but not against a friend. === Sculpting someone is a process of getting to know them. Knowing about your profession, life and personality helps me bring it to life. === Poverty drove us mad. Our ancestors were poor. It made us money-crazy. Made us not care where the money came from. Then it made us poor again.
Quitting gambling is like quitting drinking. Avoiding it doesn't mean you've quit. Quitting means taking a drink without getting drunk. In gambling, walking away while you're ahead means you've successfully quit. === I walked away after winning three games. I've quit gambling. But the problem is, I can't quit you. === Here in Macau, "Mei" (霉, 倒霉) also means bad luck. === Each visit, before he left, we'd stroll by the beach, enjoying the pristine beauty of a place that didn't belong to us. But I was labouring under a delusion. Macau was just the stage on which we acted out an impossible ideal of platonic male-female friendship. === Gambling and drinking don't mix. One vice per night is enough. === How much is enough? Think you'll ever get there? === I don't know why I love him. I don't know what I love about him, but I do. It must be true love.

Quotations

I can't love you as much as you need to be loved. === I'm not in love with her! I thought I was. I'd convinced myself. -Are you sure you know what love is? Perhaps you're looking for something that doesn't exist. Father, please... -What if there is no blinding light, no fairy-tale ending? Just two people willing to grow old together. There are worse ways to live. Please, my son, just think about it. === I'm in love with you. -Really? Well, I can recommend an article in The Science Journal. Love is just a chemical. It... it will explain. Was there anything else you wanted to discuss, or... is that all you came to talk about? I want to kiss you. Or is there a chemical substitute for that, as well? === We have so little time, Max. If you have any chance at happiness, you should grab it with both hands. Don't let the world hold you back. If you love her, whoever she is... you should be with her. -And so you're the one giving me advice now?
Look at your own behaviour. What do you think it says? This is not how a man in love behaves. === The killer exhibited what I can only describe as two opposing personalities. Extreme brutality, yes, but also a kind of love. === Everyone has a true love, Doctor. Surely you believe that? === Do you think obsession is the same as love? -What are you trying to tell me? I want to be with you, you want to be with me - surely that's enough. === You're all the same. Woman sits at home ignored. As soon as a man comes sniffing round, suddenly you're flourishing. === If love is just a state of madness, then perhaps it can be cured. But where does the madness begin and end? Where does the border lie between love and obsession? === You know he visits Borek's. The brothel. -What else is he going to do? No respectable woman would ever look at him twice!
Children remind us what we have gained but also, what we have lost. They make us come face-to-face with our own mortality. They are the people that we once were, the land to which we can never return. === They say that a man is never so weak, so defenceless against suffering as when he is in love. Love is still an enigma to science. Perhaps it is just a state of madness. I was told this legend as a child. Human beings were once double-headed creatures. The Gods resolved that we should all be humbled. They devised a punishment - cutting each body in half. Now, every person is looking for their missing counterpart. Every one of us has a perfect pre-ordained love. The other self that the Gods took from us. === Er... You're a Jew. You're going to need people to support you. -I have just as many friends as I need. Nobody throws me out, Herr Liebermann. -Well, then, this has been a new experience for you.
But if you do not love her, then you have to make that clear. -I... have feelings for her. Of course I do. Do you love her? Don't lie to me, Maxim. You're deceiving her and you're deceiving yourself. Is there a name for that in your fancy science books? === Lueger doesn't go far enough. He will never do what helps Vienna to survive. -And what is that, exactly? To get rid of the vermin. The subversives. The intellectuals. The muck-raking journalists. It'll need a strong arm to protect the honest folk when it all starts to unravel. -You want to take over his mantle. You think you are so clever. Slippery, cunning... like the rest of your sly race. But maybe not. === I won't hate you. I just need to know your feelings. -Would you...? Will you marry me? See? That wasn't so difficult. === There is a shadow self, a secret identity that everyone is struggling to hide. The deeper my journey into other people's madness, the less I know myself.

You gotta find out the cause. Mutation, environmental factor, what... Think about that before you start shooting guns. There's no need for shooting. That's what the fence is for. Keep crocs in, people out.
Reba, can you enlighten us as to why we have to protect these creatures who've killed dozens of people? -Well, when you put it that way, I'm gonna get going. Reba, please. -Fine. Look, I'd rather be harpooning them myself than-than babysitting them. But, uh, they're the only ones of their kind. I mean, we kill one of them, even one, we're making the world a-- what's the word I'm looking for? A lonelier place. === It was worth the risk. -You tell yourself that the next time you try and sign your name. Yeah, and jacking off's gonna be a bitch. === Normal crocodiles? They couldn't survive in these conditions. -Yeah, yeah, we get it. They're a damn miracle. You know what? The miracle is that we haven't napalmed this place yet. My previous job used to be on the anti-preservation side of things. Fish and game shanghaied me into this for one reason. -Yeah, to make sure you didn't go to prison for poaching. Because I know how to blow these bastards to high hell if things go all crazy.
Oh, don't worry, Barbie. I won't play with your Ken doll too long. I mean, you made your claim on him perfectly clear. Might as well have peed on him. === There was this old lady, Mrs. Bickerman. She lived on a lake not far from this one. She and her husband, they had a farm. Loved animals. Probably too much. So, when a crocodile swam up the river from the ocean, she started feeding it. It got big. Like, dinosaur big. Let me guess. He ate her. My story was much better. Well, first it ate her husband. It was years before anybody found out. But when they did, more people started to die. Bickerman, her sister, a dozen others. === Ew. Hey, this is not a toilet. We're swimming here. -The whole world's a toilet. Sooner you realize that, the better. === What happened to Joey? -He got schooled.

Quotations

When somebody tells me "Don't worry," I usually look down to see if my fly is open... I noticed Albright didn't bother to pay for his drink. DeWitt Albright reminded me of somebody I knew back in Houston. His name was Raymond Alexander but we called him Mouse... Mouse called hisself a businessman too. And I found out that I shouldn't be nowhere around when Mouse got down to his business... I learned that the hard way. === But if there's a dollar laying in the street I don't think he'll let a little dirt stop him from picking it up. If you worried about making that house note this month, maybe you wanna pay him a call. All them pretty girls you be with ain't gonna buy you a house. Sound like he just wants you to keep your eyes open for somebody...He'll pay you whether you see anything or not. If it was me I'd take that man's money and go on about my bidness... Ain't nothin' to worry about. === I'm sorry, sir. -The question is: "Are you sorry enough?"
Some of the best ones are in IMDb, thanks to its contributors: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112857/quotes/?tab=qt&ref_=tt_trv_qu These are not in IMDb: Who the hell is that, Joppy? -Just somebody I know... A bidnessman. What kinda business? -Oh, I don't ask him all that. He comes in here every so often looking for somebody to do a little job for him... He pays good. In other words, he's a gangster. === You got no excuse to be breakin' into my house -- What if I broke into your place? -I'd tear your nigger head out by its root. === Do you believe in God, Easy? 'Cause I'm curious to see if death is any different for a religious man. === Boy look at you..Man cut a damn smile in you neck, you gonna tell me you don't need my kinda help?

Three of 'em. There’s Max. I named him after my late husband, 'cause he was always hungry like Max was. Then there's, um, George Jr., named after the president 'cause he was slow too. And the last one was big girl, Martha. Martha Stewart. Pretty tough bird in her own right. === For your information, I got into this line of work... so I could meet sexy eco-warrior chicks who don't shave their legs. === Eggs ain't gonna hurt ya. -No. But whatever laid it might, you dumb hick. === Boston College is looking a lot more inviting now. -Not too many crocodiles on those streets. Mostly just drunks. But don't worry. They don't bite.
The way I hear it, she, uh, used to feed live cattle... to a couple of 40-foot prehistoric crocs she kept in her backyard. -What? That's ridiculous. That’s the kind of detail you could've shared with us back at the morgue. Mills, come on. You know everybody around here's prone to exaggeration, if you get my drift. -And crocodiles don't live as far north as Maine, Frank. If there really was one up here, I'm sure it would've been a newsworthy occurrence. Maybe. But that's not the kind of thing... a lake town would want featured on its tourism brochure. === I don't know squat. Till you get yourself a warrant, you can go piss up a rope, Columbo! === Somebody tell Trixie to shut her cake hole before I change my mind.

Pilot of the Lake Placid film series released in 1999. Excellent cast who portray their roles admirably: Bridget Fonda as a city slicker who hates outdoors, Brendan Gleeson as a crusty Sheriff, and Betty White as the eccentric Mrs. Delores Bickerman who is the only living resident on Lake Placid. Skip this if you do not enjoy other Anaconda films and/or similar series like Sharknado. === Sequels and spinoffs: Lake Placid 2 (2007) ★★½ Almost a remake of the 1999 pilot except with some youngsters involved in the monster story. The original cast are too smart or big to particiapate in this B movie with the exception of Cloris Leachman to portray an acid-tongued Sadie Bickerman who inherited the isolated farm on Lake Placid from her sister Mrs. Delores Bickerman (Betty White) who went missing... === Lake Placid 3 (2010) ★⅔ Sadie Bickerman's nephew inherits the Lake Placid property and moves his family to town temporarily waiting for the housing market to recover. This time, the craziest character is a tough as nails hunting guide Reba (Yancy Butler.) === Lake Placid: The Final Chapter (2012) ★★½ The first sequence of the film is the continuation of the marginally watchable LP 3 (2010) ★⅔ finale. Clearly the star now is going to be the tough as nails hunting guide Reba (Yancy Butler,) that she is shown alive and soon to be a Fish and Game agent watching over the Lake Placid's crocodile sanctuary. Meanwhile, another nut-bag descendant of Delores Bickerman makes his sinister trip to town... === Lake Placid Vs. Anaconda (2015) ★★★ The poacher Jim Bickerman's further adventure in Lake Placid... and Reba (Yancy Butler) is now the Sheriff. Attractions are more cheesy one-liners and comical characters, especially the sheriff and her deputy. the evil CEO and the talkative sorority sisters. === Lake Placid: Legacy (2018) ★★ A group of eco-activists explore a mysterious site on a lake island. None of the characters from its prequels are in this film and can be watched as a standalone feature. Engaging first 30 minutes but hard not to take off the thinking hat and push the fast forward button afterwards.

I suggest a competition tonight. 6 guys per family. The one that steals the most bikes in 2 hours gets Xingye Avenue. -You mean the Olympic Games of theft? I wouldn't put it like that. 我看要不今天晚上比一下一家出六個人兩個小時以內哪邊搞的車子多興業街就歸哪一個 -你意思是搞一個盜竊運動會話別說得這麼難聽 === She's lying. She denied without any hesitation. Well, we still haven't found this Hua. -Look for him and check the hotel manager's connections. What about Zenong's girlfriend you mentioned? -Drop it.

He got everything right ??? You know, the thing about real estate accounting is that you can, you can head down the page or across the page, and everything works out. So, every day, everything adds up. Well, the total is always the sum of its parts. It's clean, it's clear, neat, absolute. But my life, it ... It doesn't add up. It's ... Nothing connects to anything else. It's ... I'm not the sum of my parts. All of my parts don't add up to one ... To one me, I guess. -Get a shrink or a wife. I got a wife. - Get a shrink. === You're all I want. - Yeah, well ... I'm a lousy cook. The house looks like shit. I'm a lousy lay, I don't know why you wanna keep me. === We have a really good thing going, and you should just enjoy it. We have a really good time in bed. I don't ask for anything. -I love you.

Quotations

So where are you planning to keep me? -Luckily, there's many castles in our country. Unless you're talking about the Senate's Palace in the Luxembourg gardens, I am afraid you must be referring to one of your giant isolated castles in the country, where your kings died of boredom. === You're not even asking for my consent? -Your consent? I couldn't care less. And what if I refuse? -If you refuse, you'll have an accident, for example, in the elevator. The cable will snap, and they'll find you six stories down with your stiletto heels up your throat. See you soon, mademoiselle. === Do you really want to kill Njala? -Would that cause you a lot of pain? Well, no, that's not the point. But if you put one half of my sugar daddies in the closet, and kill the other half, I'll end up with nothing to wear! === The machine already started running. There's just screams, orders, targets. There's only two targets, Njala and me. I must admit, I wish there was only one.
I don't see any reason why you should live any longer! -My country needs me! No country needs a tyrant. Word of your death will trigger joy among your people. They'll dance in the streets. They'll burn you in effigy under the coconut tree of freedom. There'll be no regrets. -I have one, the regret of not having killed you. That I really regret! -I often ask myself why I didn't do it. Maybe for religious reasons? -No, I think I saved you in order to trade you in one day. But for what? You don't represent any value to me. -That's exactly what misled you thus far, your system of values-- the good, the bad, the kind, the evil-- in short, the general concept of values. Here we are, and we're heading toward the most simple solution. Unfortunately, for you, it's the final solution. === It took you French three revolutions and five republics to achieve some semblance of democracy, and you want me to achieve it in one day!
Am I going to die? -Yes... are you afraid? No, why? -Because I would be. That's because you'd go to hell. === You sold him! -No, sir, not sold, we gave him for free... for governmental reasons, usually that means for free. === Whatever the circumstance, he's got the "white ones". -Huh? It's a term used in chess. The white ones have the benefit of the offensive. He'll always be one step ahead. He'll pull some amazing tricks on us! He'll improvise everything. === They told me that Njala was a monster, that he had to be killed, that it'd be an honor to do it. I had foolish conceptions about honor and pride back then. I was so wide-eyed and eager. === It's illegal to tap people's lines, isn't it? -The noise you just heard was birds sitting on the cable. === I didn't want to hit her, I swear. Rosen had me do it. -l didn't want to hit you either, but my wife asked me to.
