Birdman Of Alcatraz (1962).

Robert Stroud: You want your prisoners to dance out the gates like puppets on a string with rubber-stamp values impressed by you, with your sense of conformity, your sense of behaviour, even your sense of morality. That's why you're a failure, Harvey. You and the whole science of penology. Because you rob prisoners of the most important thing in their lives - their individuality. On the outside they're lost, automatons, just going through the motions of living. But underneath there's a deep, deep hatred for what you did to them. First chance they get to attack society, they do it. The result? More than half come back to prison.

I saw Spartacus last night, great movie, & I think the scene went something like this:

Crassus: Do you eat oysters?
Antoninus: When I have them, master.
Crassus: Do you eat snails?
Antoninus: No, master.
Crassus: Do you consider the eating of oysters to be moral and the eating of snails to be immoral?
Antoninus: No, master
Crassus: Do you like chicken?
Antoninus: Yes, master
Crassus: Well suck this, it's fowl.

"A crowd is easier to control than an individual. A crowd has a common purpose. The purpose of the individual is always in question."

"That's what you're trying to eliminate, isn't it? Everything that makes one human being different from another. But you'll never, never reach a man's soul through a lens."

"That rather depends on which end of the microscope you're on, doesn't it?"

"It's hell getting older. Especially when you feel twenty-one inside. All the strengths that sustain you all through your life just vanish one by one. And you study your face in the mirror, and you... you notice something's missing. And then you realize it's your future."

Doctor: My interest in all this murder business is entirely scientific.

Kleinman: I’m sure, I’m sure.

Doctor: I’m determined to use this opportunity to find out something definitive about the nature of evil. Why is the killer the way he is? Sometimes certain impulses that can drive an insane man to murder, inspire others to highly creative ends. Once I have him here, on this table, dismembered and scrutinized in minute detail, then I shall know the answer with certainty to questions that now I can only speculate on.

Kleinman: Yeah, but it's not possible that under the microscope, there's something that you could never see?

Doctor: What are you implying? A spiritual element? A soul that lives on after we're dead? A god? [looks toward cadaver] Ask him if there's anything else. What are you thinking now?

Kleinman: I just must remember next time I go out to a restaurant...not to order the sweetbreads.

"Everything about killing Judge Spangler turned me on. The idea of helping this woman, of taking action, of ridding the world of the kind of vermin that makes the world an extra hell for all of us. I was intrigued by the creative challenge of bringing off a perfect murder. It was a high-stakes risk, but the risk made me feel alive."

Alvy Singer: "You look like a very happy couple. Are you?"
Female street stranger: "Yeah."
Alvy Singer: "Yeah? So, how do you account for it?"
Female street stranger: "Uh, I'm very shallow and empty and I have no ideas and nothing interesting to say."
Male street stranger: "And I'm exactly the same way."
Alvy Singer: "I see. Wow. That's very interesting. So you've managed to work out something?"

~Annie Hall (1977)

Captain Kinder: Now, this is really quite simple. I'm going to say one word, and you come back at me as fast as you can with whatever comes to your mind. For instance, if I were to say "happiness", you might say "children."

Wladislaw: I wouldn't say that.

Captain Kinder: Well, that was just an example. But if I said "ambition", what would you say?

Wladislaw: I wouldn't say anything.

Captain Kinder: Well, let's give it a try, okay?

Captain Kinder: Weapon.
Wladislaw: Baseball.

Captain Kinder: Knife.
Wladislaw: Dodgers.

Captain Kinder: Officer.
Wladislaw: Pitcher.

Captain Kinder: You seem to be thinking about just one thing, aren't you?

Wladislaw: Yeah. What are you thinking about?

Captain Kinder: Well, you see, I don't want you to think of just one thing. I'd like for you to concentrate on each word I throw at you. Okay?

Wladislaw: Okay.

Captain Kinder: Food.
Wladislaw: Cincinnati.

Captain Kinder: Comfort.
Wladislaw: Chicago.

Captain Kinder: Now, what made you say that?

Wladislaw: That's what I was thinking about.

Great, lean dialogue in Dozen throughout.
You just dont get the effort in scripts anymore. Not like that.

That scene is one of many, many great scenes in that "fillum." I loved that Meeker-Bronson exchange when I first saw it as a kid, and I love it still. I've wanted to post it here for years.

Speaking of Ralph Meeker, it was amusing to see him opposite fellow former Mike Hammer Darren McGavin in their scene in the first Kolchak TV movie.

Noel Holcroft (Michael Caine): "....I dont drive. I live in New York. There's no point. The traffic's terrible. You cant park....I have a friend who lives in the country, and it's supposed to be an hour from 42nd Street. A lie! The only thing that's an hour from 42nd Street is 43rd Street!...."
