Maximus:"Promise me that you will look after my family!"
Quintis:"Your family will meet you in the afterlife."
Maximus:"Many things change."
Lucilla:"Many things, not everything."
Maximus:"If you find yourself alone, riding in green fields with the sun on your face. Do not be troubled, for you are in Elysium, and you're already dead!"
Maximus:"Marcus Aurelius had a dream that was Rome, Proximo. This is not it! This is not it!"
Maximus: "Are you not entertained?! Are you not entertained?! Is this not why you are here?!"
General:"Back to barracks general? Or to Rome?"
Maximus:"Home. Wife, son, the harvest."
Quintus:"Maximus the farmer. I still have difficulty imagining that."
Maximus:"You know dirt cleans off a lot easier then blood Quintus."
Maximus:"At my signal, unleash hell."
Maximus:"Strength and honor."
Quintus:"Strength and honor"
General:"Strength and honor."
Maximus:"I am required to kill so I kill. That is enough."
Maximus: "And Commodus?"
Marcus Aurelius: "Commodus is not a moral man. You have known that since you were young. Commodus cannot rule. He must not rule."
Lucious:"They said you were a giant. They said you could crush a man's skull with one hand."
Maximus:"A man's? No... A boy's."
Maximus: "The emperor has been slain!"
Maximus: "Do you not understand? I may die in this cell tonight, or in the arena tomorrow. I am a slave! What possible difference can I make!"
Maximus: "I will win the crowd. I will give them something they've never seen before."
Maximus: "My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius. Commander of the armies of the north. General of the Felix legions. Loyal servant of to true emperor Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."
Commodus: "Do you think I'm afraid?!"
Maximus: "I think you have been afraid all your life."
Maximus:"Proximo, are you in danger of becoming a good man?"
Maximus: "Haha! You knew Marcus Aurelius?"
Proximo: "I did not say I knew him! I said he touched me on the shoulder once!"
Maximus: "I knew a man who once said 'death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back'."
Commodus: "I wonder, did your friend smile at his own death?"
Maximus: "You must know, he was your father."
Maximus: "Anyone here been in the army?"
Gladiator: "Yes, I served with you at Vindobona."
Maximus: "You can help me. Whatever comes out of these gates, we've got a better chance of survival if we work together. Do you understand? If we stay together we survive.
Captain Jack Aubrey:"Do you see those two weevils doctor?"
Dr. Stephen:"I do."
Captain Jack Aubrey:"Which would choose?"
Dr. Stephen:"Neither. There is not a scrap a difference between them. They are the same species of curculio."
Captain Jack Aubrey:"If you had to choose. If you were forced to make a choice. If there was no other response..."
Dr. Stephen:"Well then if your going to push me, I would choose the right hand weevil. It has significant advantage in both length and breadth."
Captain Jack Aubrey:"There! I have you! Your completely dished! Do you not know that in the service, one must always choose the lesser of two weevils!"
Captain Jack Aubrey:"You've come to the wrong shop for anarchy brother."
Captain Jack Aubrey:"Right, from now on, no sirs, no salutes, no whistles, no bells."
Officers:"Aye sir."
Captain Jack Aubrey:"You there! Stand fast!"
Captain Jack Aubrey:"For England! For home! And for the prize!"
Captain Jack Aubrey:"Well Stephen, the birds flightless?"
Dr. Stephen:"Yes."
Captain Jack Aubrey:"It's not going anywhere."
Dr. Stephen:"You see for my part I look upon a promise as binding."
Captain Jack Aubrey:"The promise was conditional. I command the King's ship, not a private yacht! We do not have time for your damned hobby sir!"
Captain Jack Aubrey:"Master at arms, take that man below and clap him in irons!"
Captain Jack Aubrey:"I intend to take a greater interest in the bounty of nature from now on."
Dr. Stephen:"Really?"
Captain Jack Aubrey:"Yes. I had no idea that a study of nature could advance the art of naval warfare."
Captain Jack Aubrey:"Do you want to see a guillotine in Piccadilly?"
Crew:"No!"
Captain Jack Aubrey:"Want to call that raggedy-ass Napoleon your king?"
Crew:"No!"
Captain Jack Aubrey:"You want your children to sing the "La Marseillaise?"
Crew:"No!"
Captain Jack Aubrey:"Mr. Mowett, Mr. Pullings, starboard battery!"
Captain Jack Aubrey:"Now to pull this predator in close and spring our trap."
Dr. Stephen:"Jack, you're the predator."
Captain Jack Aubrey:"The first time he spoke to me, I shall never forget his words. I remember like it was yesterday. He leaned across the table, he looked me straight in the eye, and he said, 'Aubrey may I trouble you for the salt?'"
Captain Jack Aubrey:"We therefore commit their bodies to the deep. To be turned into corruption. Looking for the resurrection of the body when the Sea shall give up her dead, in the life of the world to come. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, amen."
Captain Jack Aubrey:"I hate it when you talk of the service in this way, it makes me so very low."
Captain Jack Aubrey:"Right lads, now I know there's not a faint heart among you, and I know you're as anxious as I am to get into close action. But we must bring them right up beside us before we spring this trap. That will test our nerve, and discipline will count just as much as courage. The Acheron is a tough nut to crack. More than twice our guns, more than twice our numbers, and they will sell their lives dearly. Topmen, your handling of the sheets to be lubberly and un-navy like. Until the signal calls, you're to spill the wind from our sails, this will bring us almost to a complete stop. Gun crews, you must run out and tie down in double quick time. With the rear wheels removed, you've gained elevation. and without recoil, there'll be no chance for re-load, so gun captains, that gives you one shot from the lardboard battery. One shot only. You'll fire for her mainmast. Much will depend on your accuracy. However even crippled, she will still be dangerous, like a wounded beast. Captain Howard and the marines will sweep their weather deck with swivel gun and musket fire from the tops. They'll try and even the odds for us before we board. They mean to take us as a prize. And we are worth more to them undamaged. Their greed will be their downfall. England is under threat of invasion, and though we be on the far side of the world, this ship is our home. This ship, is England. So it's every hand to his rope or gun, quick's the word and sharp's the action. After all, surprise is on our side."
Captain Jack Aubrey:"To wives and to sweethearts."
Officers:"To wives and sweethearts."
Captain Jack Aubrey:"May they never meet."
Dr. Stephen:"Jack, I fear you may have burdened me with a debt I can never fully repay."
Captain Jack Aubrey:"Tosh. Name a shrub after me. Something prickly and hard to eradicate."
Dr. Stephen:"A shrub?! Nonsense I'll name a great tortoise after you!"
King John:"So what would you have? Huh? A castle for every man?"
Robin Longstride:"Every Englishman's home is his castle."
Robin Longstride:"Girl."
Marion Loxley:"Girl? Either you're going blind or you're looking for charity."
Marion Loxley:"I was an old maid when Robert courted me. I was a daughter of a respectable widow with a thimbleful of noble blood. We were wed, and then a week later he left to join ship for France and the Holy Lands. And that was my married life to a man I hardly knew."
Robin Longstride:"A good knight."
Marion Loxley:"Short, but sweet."
Robin Longstride:"I mean, he was a good knight. A good knight-at-arms, a soldier."
Marion Loxley:"Oh, yes, my knight-in-arms, even so. And I in his."
Robin Longstride:"Rise and rise again, until lambs become lions."
Robin Longstride:"Your next move will be your last."
Marion Loxley:"It seems we are to share my chamber. A ruse to convince the servants."
Robin Longstride:"Well, if the aim is deception, should you not be addressing me as 'my husband', or 'my dear'."
Marion Loxley:"Don't be ridiculous! Well, are you coming or not?"
Robin Longstride:"Ask me nicely."
Marion Loxley:"Please, dear husband, will you share my chamber."
Robin Longstride:"None shall pass unless they can answer the riddle!"
Robin Longstride:"We can't repay our good luck with bad grace. It invites darkness."
