[first lines]
Saul's guard: The king cannot speak with you now. He is engaged in the affairs of state.
Samuel: Since when have the affairs of state taken precedence over the affairs of God?
[shoves his way past and enters Saul's throne room]
Saul: ...Samuel. We welcome you. With God's blessing, our victory is complete.
Samuel: Is THIS how you show Him your gratitude... by robbing the Amalekites of their women and cattle? By holding their king in chains?
Saul: We were discussing a possible treaty. The king is to be ransomed...
Samuel: A *treaty?* *Ransom?* Saul, for this you have betrayed your own soul in the sight of God. His instructions were plain enough: "... Spare nothing from the sword."
[beheads the Amalekite king]
Samuel: ... When our tribes clamored for a king, to make us like other nations, I answered them: "We are not like other nations. The Lord of Hosts is both our God and our King." The people said, "We want a king we can see. We want a king of our own flesh and blood."
[holds up the severed head]
Samuel: Here are your kings of flesh and blood. Here is a king you can see.
[throws the head at Saul's feet] (Movie: King David [1985]) | |
| Saul: [over the defeated Goliath] An entire army at my command. Yet it takes a shepherd boy to wipe out our disgrace. (Movie: King David [1985]) | |
| Saul: [to David, when they first meet] Have you seen Him? Face to face? I saw Him... once. He smiled on me, too. But at daybreak He was gone. (Movie: King David [1985]) | |
Goliath's Captain: Slaves of a nameless God, once again I gring you the challenge of Goliath of Goth, champion of the Philistines. Where is your faith in your God? Where is your trust in His protection? You boast that He can move mountains, and yet He cannot move one man among you to defend His honor. Six times have we challenged you to put forward a champion, and six times have you cowered in silence. Send down a champion, and whoever wins the combat wins the day for his country and his God. Well, Israelites, what is your answer?
[Nobody speaks out]
Goliath's Captain: ... Then let all the world bear witness. There is no God in Israel! (Movie: King David [1985]) | |
Jonathan: ...Is Israel governed by a king, Father, or by the whims of a senile old prophet?
Saul: You cannot have the one without the other.
Jonathan: And who's to say that Samuel is not a false prophet?
Saul: If Samuel is a false prophet, I'm a false king. It was Samuel who annointed me, even as he has rejected me.
Jonathan: The people still look to you as their king, Father. They have not rejected you.
Saul: ...What was his name? The man who wrestled with me until daybreak.
Abner: What man, My Lord?
Jonathan: It was only a dream, Father.
Saul: Well, if it was a dream, send in my musician; let me dream on. (Movie: King David [1985]) | |
Samuel: God is not a man that He should deceive you... The Lord does not see as man sees. Men judge by outward appearances, but the Lord judges by the heart alone.
[to David]
Samuel: You kneel before me as the shepherd of your father's flock, but God has chosen you... to be the shepherd of His people Israel, to unite His scattered tribes into one nation... and to send the heathen from His promised land.
Young David: My brothers are all soldiers. Why not choose one of them?
Samuel: It was not I who chose you. It was the Lord God of Israel.
Young David: I am the least in my father's house.
Samuel: You are a child after God's own heart.
Young David: If I stand so well in His sight, why not let Him command me face to face?
Jesse: Because no man may see God face to face and live. God speaks to man through the mouths of His prophets.
Samuel: So be it. When I have gone the way of all flesh, you shall be brought before the king by one of his sons. Then shall the Lord challenge you, even as you have challenged Him, to defend His name and His honor. Have no fear, David. The Lord shall not forsake you so long as you keep His laws and obey His prophets without question. (Movie: King David [1985]) | |
Saul: ...Hear how Jonathan warbles in praise of the cuckoo bird, David, who has fed from my table and now lies with my daughter... David has robbed me of my God, my people, even my children. What else can he take but my crown...? So long as David lives, neither I nor Jonathan nor the throne shall be safe... Samuel anointed him in my place! David! The boy I trusted and loved as my own son.
Jonathan: Then be glad of it! Give thanks that the future of Israel belongs to a man worthy of your love.
[Saul throws a javelin, just missing him] (Movie: King David [1985]) | |
David: Come with me to the sanctuary at Nob. We have a covenant of friendship between us.
Jonathan: I also have a covenant of honor between my father and myself. I would lay down my life for you willingly, but I cannot break faith with my father *or* with you. You have the love of One far greater than I
[the Lord of Hosts]
Jonathan: to care for you. My father has no one. (Movie: King David [1985]) | |
Saul: [at Nob, shortly after David has escaped] Abner, I want these priests killed, one by one, until their high priest "remembers" where David is, or is going. Then the killing will stop.
Abner: No soldier would carry out such an order. These priests...
Saul: THESE PRIESTS are maggots! In carrion! Fattening themselves on the offerings people give to the Lord! They are traitors, every one of them! And so is any soldier who refuses to obey the king's command.
[He runs his javelin through one soldier who couldn't bring himself to slay the priests]
Saul: Will no one obey the king?
[Another soldier volunteers]
Saul: It takes a gentile to obey.
[the second soldier kills several priests, but still no one "remembers" David's whereabouts, so Saul kills the high priest with his javelin] (Movie: King David [1985]) | |
Abner: ...Who are you, David ben Jesse, to shout down at the King of Israel?
David: Who are *you*, Abner ben Ner, to call yourself commander of the king's army? Why did you not keep watch over my lord the king while he slept? Where is the king's sword that was by his side?
[holds it up]
David: Here, in the hands of a man he calls his enemy. (Movie: King David [1985]) | |
Absalom: [at the palace of Akiss, king of the Philistines] ... My master wishes to see King Akiss.
Akiss's Captain: He is Israelite?
Absalom: He is mad.
Akiss's Captain: Therefore Israelite.
[laughs and permits them to enter]
King Akiss: I apologize for the necessity of your performance, but in our country, madmen are held to be sacred. Grasp that and you have perhaps grasped the very essence of religion... Another Samson? Absalom, I would be obliged if you were to keep well away from those pillars, hmm? Youth is no barrier to strength, as you yourself so ably demonstrated, David.
David: God's victory, not mine. I was but the means to His end.
King Akiss: Of Goliath, perhaps. It's the motive of your God that seems less clear. If He can deliver you from a giant, why can He not free you of Saul?
David: If you grant us refuge, He will have done so.
King Akiss: What about the god in whose temple you stand? Will not Dagon deserve some measure of thanks? Hmm?
David: It's you who will have cause to thank him, for we shall be yours to command against any enemy you choose to name.
King Akiss: Except Saul, of course.
David: I cannot raise my hand against the Lord's annointed king.
King Akiss: He's very ready to raise his hand against you, hmm?
David: He could no sooner rid himself of me than I could ever bring myself to kill him.
King Akiss: To love one's enemy is a fine sentiment... but for a poet, not for a king. (Movie: King David [1985]) | |
Young Solomon: ...Who is Absalom, father?
David: A boy who was once like you.
Young Solomon: Is he your enemy?
David: [thinks before answering] ... Perhaps I am his enemy, but he could never be mine. (Movie: King David [1985]) | |
| Absalom: ...It makes no difference how good a man's case is. He will receive no audience with the king unless he can bribe his way into the king's presence; and even if he does, that will not help his cause; for the king's judgment means nothing without the approval of Uriah's widow, Bathsheba. If only I were make a judge in the land, I would see that everyone who brought a petition received justice! (Movie: King David [1985]) | |
Joab: ...Every day, he
[Absalom]
Joab: stands in the marketplace, preaching to the people and stealing their affections. The rabble are flocking to his side, David. Some say he's planning a rebellion. I would've thought that was obvious! Absalom is a traitor who must be dealt with...
David: Absalom is MY SON! Any man who dares to call the king's son a traitor, without the evidence to support such a claim, shall himself meet the fate of a traitor... by my own hand!
Joab: I am giving you the evidence.
David: "Some say" is not evidence.
Joab: Your love blinds you, my friend. (Movie: King David [1985]) | |
Jonathan: [shortly before Saul's last stand at Mount Gilboa] David is not among the enemy, Father. It's not your honor that's at stake. It's the lives of our men.
Saul: I will ride out against the Philistines. If I ride alone, so be it.
Nathan: [rallying the Israelite troops while preparing to offer a sacrifice] Rouse yourselves in anger! Lay nations at our feet! Whet your flashing swords! Make your arrows drunk with blood!
Saul: [cutting in] My Lord, *I* am your sacrifice.
Nathan: This day, you will surely die.
Saul: Then my prayer will be answered at last.
Nathan: The Lord scorns your prayers. He has utterly rejected you.
Saul: And Samuel, too. And Abraham and Isaac and Jacob! Even David will be forsaken at the end, for in death, we are all cut off from God's care. What purpose, then, in serving Him? He wrestles with man for the nighttime of his life, but at daybreak, He is gone.
[calling out]
Saul: Who marches with the king and his sons? (Movie: King David [1985]) | |
| Hayes: We could not understand because we were too far and could not remember because we were traveling in the night of first ages, of those ages that are gone, leaving hardly a sign - and no memories. We are accustomed to look upon the shackled form of a conquered monster, but there - there you could look at a thing monstrous and free. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
| Carl Denham: And lo, the beast looked upon the face of beauty, and beauty stayed his hand. And from that day forward, he was as one dead." (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Ann Darrow: Is this the moving picture ship?
Carl Denham: Not exactly. It's actually this one over here. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Carl Denham: Ann, I'm telling you - you're perfect. Look at you. You're the saddest girl I've ever met. You're gonna make them weep, Ann. You're gonna break their hearts.
Ann Darrow: See, that's where you're wrong, Mr. Denham. I make people laugh, that's what I do. Good luck with your picture.
Carl Denham: Ann? Miss Darrow, please! I'm offering you money. Adventure, fame, the thrill of a lifetime, and a long sea voyage. You want to read a script? Jack Driscoll's turning in a draft as we speak.
Ann Darrow: Jack Driscoll?
Carl Denham: Sure, why? Wait. You know him?
Ann Darrow: No, not personally. I've seen his plays.
Carl Denham: What a writer, huh? And let me tell you, Ann. Jack Driscoll does not want just anyone starring in this picture. He said to me, "Carl, somewhere out there is a woman born to play this role." And as soon as I saw you, I knew.
Ann Darrow: Knew what?
Carl Denham: It was always going to be you. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Carl Denham: [to aboriginal girl] Look, chocolate! Here, take it. Go ahead, take it.
[through clenched teeth]
Carl Denham: Here, put it in you hand and take it. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Hayes: When I tell you to run, run.
Jimmy: I'm not a coward. I ain't gonna run.
Hayes: It's not about being brave, Jimmy. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Ann Darrow: Why would you do that?
Jack Driscoll: Why would I write a play for you? Isn't it obvious?
Ann Darrow: Not to me.
Jack Driscoll: It's in the subtext. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Carl Denham: $2,000 is a deal. Will you take a check?
Captain Englehorn: Do I have a choice? (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Carl Denham: I'll give you another thousand if we leave right now
Captain Englehorn: You didn't give me the first thousand yet
Carl Denham: Will you take a cheque?
Captain Englehorn: Do I have a choice? (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Captain Englehorn: Ma'am?
Ann Darrow: Ann Darrow.
Captain Englehorn: So, you are ready for this voyage, Miss Darrow?
Ann Darrow: Sure.
Captain Englehorn: Nervous?
Ann Darrow: Nervous? No. Why? should I be? (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Carl Denham: [filming the dinosaurs] Walk forward, Bruce.
Bruce Baxter: What?
Carl Denham: You're the star of this picture. Get into character and head towards the animals.
Bruce Baxter: What the hell kind of place is this? Are you sure about this, Denham? Don't we have a stand-in for this type of thing?
Carl Denham: I need you in the shot, or people will say they're fake.
Bruce Baxter: Oh nobody's gonna think these are fake. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Captain Englehorn: That's the thing about cockroaches. No matter how many times you flushed them down the toilet, they always crawl back up the bowl.
Carl Denham: Hey buddy, I'm out of the bowl. I'm drying off my wings and trekking across the lid. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
[after already promising to dedicate the film to Mike]
Carl Denham: Goddamn it Preston we're gonna finish this film for Herb. And We'll donate the proceeds to his wife and kids. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
[the boat is leaving the dock, and Carl made Jack stay because he hasn't finished the script]
Carl Denham: I keep telling you, Jack, there's no money in theater. That's why you should stick with film.
Jack Driscoll: No Carl, it's not about the money. I love theater.
Carl Denham: No you don't. If you really loved it, you would've jumped. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Carl Denham: I've risked everything I had on this film.
Captain Englehorn: No Denham, you risked everything I have. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Carl Denham: I'll give you another thousand to leave right now.
Captain Englehorn: You haven't given me the first thousand yet. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Carl Denham: Ann, I'm not that kind of person.
Ann Darrow: Oh really, then what kind of person are you Mr.Denham?
Carl Denham: I'm someone you can trust, I'm a movie producer. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
[Hayes has just explained the subtext of Heart of Darkness to Jimmy]
Jimmy: It's not an adventure story. Is it, Mr. Hayes?
Hayes: No, Jimmy. It's not. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Hayes: If someone were to tell you this ship was headed for Singapore, what would you say?
Lumpy the Cook: I'd say they're full of it Mr. Hayes. I mean we turned Southwest last night.
Carl Denham: Fellas, we're not looking for any trouble...
Jimmy: No. You're looking for somethin' else. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |

Venture Crew - Helmsman: Fifteen Fathoms! We have seabed!
Hayes: You should stop the ship!
Captain Englehorn: [continues steering] We're getting out of here Mr. Hayes. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Carl Denham: [Denham stalls as the ship prepares to depart] Alright. We might as well settle up.
Jack Driscoll: You're gonna pay me?
Carl Denham: I'm not gonna stiff a friend.
Jack Driscoll: I've never known you to volunteer cash before.
Carl Denham: How does two grand sound?
Jack Driscoll: That sounds great... sounds great.
Carl Denham: Here ya go.
Jack Driscoll: Carl, you... you've written, "two grand".
Carl Denham: Thought I did. I'm sorry, let's just do this from the beginning. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
[Jack Driscoll must sleep in a cage where animals slept]
Captain Englehorn: So what are you, Mr. Driscoll, a lion, or a chimpanzee? (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |

Bruce Baxter: What do you think, Driscoll? Dialogue's got some flow now, huh?
Jack Driscoll: [sarcastically] That was pure effluence.
Bruce Baxter: I beefed up the banter.
Jack Driscoll: Try to resist that impulse.
Bruce Baxter: It's just a bit of humor, bud. What are you a Bolshevik or something?
Jack Driscoll: Actors. They travel the world, all they ever see is a mirror. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
| Captain Englehorn: [after discovering boxes of chloroform stacked haphazardly in one of the crates] What are you trying to do, put the whole ship to sleep? (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Preston: He was right. There is still some mystery left in this world, and we can all have a piece of it for the price of an admission ticket.
Jack Driscoll: That's the thing you come to learn about Carl, his undying ability to destroy the things he loves. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Carl Denham: Oh! Ann, this is... uh... Ann?
Ann Darrow: That's all right Mr. Denham. I know who this is. Thrilled to meet you. It's an honor to be a part of this.
[shakes hands with Mike]
Mike: [confused] Gee, thanks.
Ann Darrow: Actually, I'm quite familiar with your work.
Mike: [very confused] Really?
Ann Darrow: Yes, and what I most admire is the way you've captured the voice of the common people.
Mike: [smiling now] Well, uh, that's my job.
Ann Darrow: I'm sure you've heard this before, Mr. Driscoll, if you don't mind me saying, but, you don't look at all like your photograph.
[Jack Driscoll looks over]
Mike: [smile disappears] I'm sorry...
Carl Denham: Wait a minute, Ann.
Ann Darrow: [to Carl] He's so much younger in person. And much better looking.
Carl Denham: [as Jack approaches Ann from behind] Ann, stop. Stop right there.
Ann Darrow: [to Mike again] You see. I was just afraid that you might be one of those self-obsessed, literary types.
Mike: I'm sorry. I'm not...
Ann Darrow: You know, the tweedy twerp with his nose in his book and his head up his a...
[Jack snaps his book shut just behind her head. She turns around]
Jack Driscoll: It's nice to meet you too, Miss Darrow. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Carl Denham: She's standing at the railing. She doesn't know it yet, but they are sailing toward disaster. You got that?
Jack Driscoll: Okay, so she turns and the first mate is staggering toward her. There's a knife sticking out of his back.
Carl Denham: Wait a second... We're killing off the first mate?
Jack Driscoll: Well that's assuming she knows who the first mate is.
Carl Denham: Come on, Jack. It was an honest mistake. Anne is near-sighted. It could'a happened to anyone.
Jack Driscoll: I was joking, Carl. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Jack Driscoll: [looking at map] What is that?
Carl Denham: What?
Jack Driscoll: That. That right there.
Carl Denham: I don't know. What is it? A coffee stain? (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Carl Denham: Bring the tripod and all of the film.
Herb: Want to switch to the six-inch lens?
Carl Denham: [considering Kong, who only he has seen] The wide-angle will do just fine. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Carl Denham: Fay's a size four.
Preston: Yes, she is, but she's doing a picture with RKO.
Carl Denham: Cooper, huh? I might've known. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Captain Englehorn: There's nothing out there!
Carl Denham: Then you have nothing to lose... (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Photographer: Why would he do that? Climb up there and get himself cornered? The ape must have known what was coming.
Photographer: It's just a dumb animal. Doesn't know nothing. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
| Carl Denham: Don't worry, Preston. I've had a lot of practice at this. I'm real good at crapping the crappers. (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
Carl Denham: [Before climbing to the top of the bug-pit] Just as you go down... for the third and final time... as your head disappears beneath the waves... and your lungs fill with water... do you know what happens in those last precious seconds before you drown?
Bruce Baxter: [pushing Denham towards the rope] Come on, buddy. Get up the rope. Come on. Get out of here. Come on.
Carl Denham: [continuing] Your whole life passes before your eyes. And if you've lived as a true American... you get to watch it all in color.
[smiles]
Bruce Baxter: Oh, and you will. Now why don't you climb up the rope, huh? Come on.
[calling out to Jack]
Bruce Baxter: Come on, Driscoll. Let's go! (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
General: [Riding in a truck full of troops on its way to deal with Kong] Listen up. This is New York City, and this is sacred ground. You hear me? It was built for humans, by humans. Not for stinking lice-infested apes. The thought of some mutant gorilla crapping all over the streets of this fair city fills me with disgust. So this is how it's going to be: We find it. We kill it. We cut its ugly head off and we ram it up...
[the truck is immediately trampled by Kong] (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |
[after a studio executive has suggested nude film shots]
Carl Denham: What are you, an idiot? Do you think they ever asked Cecil B. DeMille if he wasted his time on nudie shots? No! They respected the filmmaker! They showed some class! Not that YOU would know what class is, you cheap lowlife! (Movie: King Kong [2005]) | |

Adam Leavitt: You remember?

15-Year-Old Grandson: Don't fear them, my child. We are going to kill them all. (Movie: The Kingdom [2007]) | |
Attorney General Gideon Young: I'm gonna bury you.
FBI Director James Grace: You know, Westmoreland made all of us officers write our own obituaries during Tet, when we thought The Cong were gonna end it all right there. And, once we clued into the fact that life is finite, the thought of losing it didn't scare us anymore. The end comes no matter what, the only thing that matters is how do you wanna go out, on your feet or on your knees? I bring that lesson to this job. I act, knowing that someday this job will end, no matter what. You should do the same. (Movie: The Kingdom [2007]) | |

Ronald Fleury: If you already know the answer, why ask the question? (Movie: The Kingdom [2007]) | |
Adam Leavitt: Sir, not to beat a dead horse, but if there was ever a time for us to put boots on Saudi sand, I mean, don't you think this is it?
Janet Mayes: There's no way, Adam. They will never allow it.
Adam Leavitt: Then let's just ask.
Janet Mayes: The Saudi Royal Family cannot appear as if they're losing control. If they lose control of their country, lose control of the people, they risk losing control of the oil. And that's not going to happen. (Movie: The Kingdom [2007]) | |
General Al Abdulmalik: We found six more uniforms than you were assigned in your possession. That is a crime, especially when you consider the attackers wore our uniform.

Ellis Leach: I met with Prince Thamer at Saudi Embassy fifteen minutes after hearing this morning's news. And after speaking with Thamer, I advised withholding additional U.S. personnel, because a large part of the religious justification for these bombs is the presence of current U.S. personnel. More boots on Saudi soil is only gonna make an already combustible situation that much more so.
Maricella Canavesio: My two cents. The Saudis have not asked for FBI help. They've done the opposite. This is just going to further complicate an already deteriorating situation with one of our few remaining allies in the Middle East.
Attorney General Gideon Young: Rock solid logic.
FBI Director James Grace: Well, we would like to be on the record as saying the FBI would like an Evidence Response Team on the ground in Riyadh now.
Ellis Leach: Doesn't your team in that country represent exactly the kind of... of target that these masters would die for? They'd trade ten of their own for one of you.
FBI Director James Grace: Not to go after criminals because they might try to harm you is really not a policy of the FBI. See, we try not to say uncle. We try. (Movie: The Kingdom [2007]) | |
Attorney General Gideon Young: As far as the public's concerned, lets try to view this through FBI agents' eyes. Is that clear?
Ronald Fleury: Sir, how do you suppose this is viewed through FBI agents' eyes?
Attorney General Gideon Young: Pardon me?
Ronald Fleury: I said, in this situation, how do you suppose this is viewed through our eyes?
Attorney General Gideon Young: It's a variation of vengeance. When one of your own is killed, agents lose their analytical skills. (Movie: The Kingdom [2007]) | |
Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: Look at me, Haytham. You saved lives today. I have no doubt about that.
Sergeant Haytham: I love my country.
Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: I know.
Sergeant Haytham: Never in my life, never have I thought to betray my country.
Colonel Faris Al Ghazi: Believe me, I know. That's why I want you to use all your energy, anger, and frustration as a tool to drive us to capture those criminals and bring them to justice. (Movie: The Kingdom [2007]) | |

Al Ghazi, consider yourself lucky even to have a role at all. The Americans are our guests for five days. Take extremely good care of them and I want them to leave as safe as they arrived.
