The Last Samurai

Omura: Enlighted One, we must discuss this-

Emperor Meiji: Omura, you have done quite enough!

Omura: Everything I have done, I have done for my country.

Emperor Meiji: Then you will not mind when I seize your family's assets and present them as a gift to the people.

Omura: [furious] You disgrace me!

Emperor Meiji: If your shame is unbearable.. I offer you this sword!

Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust

[Sheriff's squad storms into the shop]
Sheriff: [faces D directly] Freeze! Put your hands where I can see 'em! Now!

Polk: Sheriff.. He paid good money for that -
[Sheriff scatters the golden coins on the ground] 
- What are you doing?!

Sheriff: Take your money and go!
[Sheriff's squad takes aim at D]
We don't want you here. We don't sell to Dunpeals in this town. Understand? Understand me Dunpeal? 
[talks threateningly] You understand..

Polk: Wait a minute, that's my horse you're talking about there! And I'll sell it to whoever I want, if they can afford the price I'm asking!

Sheriff: You can't do that, we have laws against it Polk. Good laws and for a damn good reason.
[squad still aiming at D]

Polk: What laws?!

Sheriff: Don't play court Polk, you know as well as I Dunpeals aren't allowed.

Polk: No allowed right. [reaches for something below his desk] I remember a time not that long ago when we had Vampires and Dunpeals both around here, but..

Sheriff: [interrupts him] And that's why we have the law!

Polk: Listen to me, whether you want to hear it or not. You weren't even born when this happened! Do yourself a favor & listen to the story.
I'm going to tell you about the time when the children were kidnapped; [reaches for his mug] there were 10 children altogether.
[takes a sip]

Sheriff: [still not facing away from D] Yeah, I heard about that time.

Polk: [sets down his mug & returns to his repairs] Kidnappers turned out to be Vampires; of course. And so the townspeople pooled their money to hire a Vampire hunter.. They wanted the best.
[beat]
And when the hunter came, he was a very strong & quiet man; and he did his job too, which was to return the children safely back to their parents homes. It wasn't easy, but many Vampires died by his hands before this job was over with. And when it was over, & the children were back home, the people attacked the man! They said he was a Dunpeal, half Vampire, himself!
[sounding upset at what they did]
So they punished him..

Sheriff: [looks at Polk out of the corner of his eye] Can't say I blame them for doing that!
[looks back at D; uses the same tone of disgust as when he spoke before]
You can't trust 'em! That's all that's about.
[resolve now stronger]
You're right about that part, Polk.

Polk: [sets his tools down,even more upset now that his story had no effect] He did the Job..
[reaches for something below his desk]
I see then I'll have to take matters-
[pulls out a large gun]
-into my own hands.. Let him go!
[aims the gun right at the Sheriff's head]

Sheriff: [looks at Polk out of the corner of his eye] And what is that..?

Polk: [talks angrily] What does it look like, idiot?! Put down your guns!
[Squad starts to lower their guns]

Sheriff: Polk, you can't know what you're doing. Put it down..

Polk: [laughs nervously] I know exactly what I'm doing!

Sheriff: [faces Polk, talks in a ferocious manner] You don't know, put it down now you ol' fool!

Polk: [climbs the desk with his gun aimed at the Sheriff's head] Ah, I would much rather be an ol' fool than what you are Sheriff!

Sheriff: [talks calmly] Now don't shoot..

Polk: I can tell you I won't think twice about using this weapon; I might even enjoy it!
[Sheriff sweats heavily]
Get on your horse, stranger..

D: Thank you.
[D gets on his horse, starts to leave the shop]

Polk: No. It's only fitting I thank you; it's the least I can do.
[D stops]
Polk: I may be just an old fool now stranger, but I could never forget a face like yours.. [looks briefly at D] And I'll never forget what you had done for me back then..
[Sheriff's squad gasps]
That's right! I was one of them kids!
[beat]
And I always felt bad about that; the way you was treated.. How nobody stopped you, nobody thanked you; instead the ignorant bastards ran you right out of our town..
[looks briefly at D again]
So it's true, isn't it? What they say about you Dunpeals; you don't age. Now go I'm getting tired..
[D leaves the shop on his horse]

Attack on Titan - Episode 21

Levi: I don't know the right answer.. I never have.
Even if I believed in myself, and the decisions made by comrades who've earned my trust; the result was always a complete mystery.
That's why.. You should just do your best to take a decision you believe you'll regret the least.

Legend Of The Guardians

Soren: Wait. Is that your mark?

Ezylryb: What, this? Yes.

Soren: So.. You wrote the Chronicle of the Battle of the Ice Claws.

Ezylryb: I think so.
Well, actually, yes. I did.

Soren: Were you there?

Ezylryb: Yes.

Soren: What, as a-a scribe?

Ezylryb: Um.. Well, no. As a soldier.
As the, I guess you could say, leader of all the soldiers.

Soren: You're Lyze of Kiel..

Ezylryb: Um.. Yes.

Soren: You are Lyze of Kiel..

Ezylryb: Yes. Don't wear it out.

Soren: But..
*looks at his abandoned metal claws*

Ezylryb: What, that old thing? That's only good for gathering coals now.

Soren: Yeah, but why go by Ezylryb?

Ezylryb: All the owls of the tree know who I am.

Soren: But you're..

Ezylryb: My days as Lyze are well behind me.. And that battle is a distant memory.
Except, funnily enough, for young owlets like you.

Soren: Why didn't you tell me..?

Ezylryb: *gets frustrated* What difference does it make what I call myself?!

Soren: Because Lyze of Kiel was my hero.

Ezylryb: Yes, well, fancy it must be hard meeting your hero, and seeing that he's real and not a myth.

Soren: You're just not...

Ezylryb: *speaks ferociously* What did you expect?!
Some Tyto Alba with gleaming armor and battle claws, the moon rising behind him?!
Well, this is what it looks like when you've actually fought in battle.
It's not glorious. It's not beautiful. And it's not even heroic! It's merely doing what's right.
And doing it again, and again. Even if someday, you'll look like this!

Martin: What about the.. um. Well, you know.
Are they gone?

Nash: No, they're not gone. And maybe they never will be.
But I've gotten used to ignoring them, and I think as a result they kind of given up on me.
You think that's what it's like with.. all our dreams and nightmares, Martin?
You've got to keep feeding them, for them to say alive?

Martin: John, they.. They haunt you, though.

Nash: Oh, they're my past Martin. Everybody is haunted by their past.

Parasyte The Maxim - Episode 14

Fortune Teller: Hey, You there.. You!
[Izumi looks around, questioningly points at himself]
Fortune Teller: That's right, you! Come let me take a look.. What's going on? You look like you've been through a lot.
Show me your hand.. Your hand!
[Izumi gives her his left hand]
[The fortune teller to herself: "The left hand..?"]

Fortune Teller: [looks deeply into his hand] Right now, you have a hole in your heart.. Don't you?

Izumi: Huh! How'd you know that?!

Fortune Teller: Oh.. it's a huge, gaping hole..

Izumi: How can I, um.. How can I close it?

Fortune Teller: Meet the person.

Izumi: Huh?

Fortune Teller: Meet the one who opened that hole again.. Meet that person, and talk everything over to bring closure..
Listen well, that person is the only one who can seal that hole..
[Izumi's face changes abruptly]
[The fortune teller, terrified, stares at him]
[Izumi laughs frantically]

Izumi: I killed that person.

Hellsing Ultimate - Episode 5

Integra: We must leave this place, Mr. Penwood!
It's only a matter of time before groups of vampires make their way here.

Penwood: You.. You should head back to your organization as soon as possible.
You still have a duty only you can fulfill.
I-I can't leave this place, that's the one thing I can't do.

Integra: It's almost impossible to issue orders from here. Are you trying to get yourself killed?!

Penwood: Who knows?
Communications could be restored and we might be able to assume command again.
Some bases may have succeeded in fighting off the enemy and could be waiting for further instructions.
I-I am the commanding officer here... I can't possibly leave this place, can I?
I'm an incompetent person. I'm a coward. I'm a man so useless that even I don't understand why I hold this position. I'm only here now because of my family status.
I've never tried to obtain anything by myself. All I did was accept positions that were given to me, and did the work I was told to do.
So that's why I must at least, at least do my job..

The Tao of Pooh

Now one rather annoying thing about scholars is that they are always using Big Words that some of us can't understand...

"Well," said Owl, "the customary procedure in such cases is as follows."

"What does Crustimoney Proseedcake mean?" said Pooh. "For I am a Bear of Very Little Brain, and long words Bother me,"

"It means the Thing to Do."

"As long as it means that, I don't mind," said Pooh humbly.

... And one sometimes gets the impression that those intimidating words are there to keep us from understanding. That way, the scholars can appear Superior, and will not likely be suspected of Not Knowing Something. After all, from the scholarly point of view, it's practically a crime not to know everything.
