Nathan Fillion as Malcolm Reynolds in Serenity: "I aim to misbehave."
Harry Dean Stanton as Brett in Alien: "Look, I'm not gonna do any more work, until we get this straightened out."
Gloria Foster as The Oracle in The Matrix: "... It means know thy self. I wanna tell you a little secret, being the one is just like being in love. No one needs to tell you you are in love, you just know it, through and through."
Ethan Hawke as Vincent Freeman in Gattaca: "I belonged to a new underclass, no longer determined by social status or the color of your skin. No, we now have discrimination down to a science."
Loren Dean as Anton Freeman in Gattaca: "Our parents both died thinking they'd outlived you. I had my doubts."
Daryl Hannah as Pris in Blade Runner: "I think, Sebastian, therefore I am."
Brigitte Helm as Machine-Man Maria in Metropolis: "You know that I have always spoken of peace...but your mediator has not come... You have waited long enough! Your time has come -! Who is the living food for the machines in Metropolis!? Who lubricates the machine joints with their own blood?! Who feeds the machines with their own flesh?! Let the machines starve, you fools! Let them die! Kill them - the machines!!"
Joanna Cassidy as Zhora in Blade Runner: "Are you for real?"
Denis Leary as Edgar Friendly in Demolition Man: "That's right. You see, according to Cocteau's plan. I'm the enemy. Because I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, freedom of choice. I'm the kind if guy who would sit in the greasy spoon and think 'Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the big rack of Barbecued spare ribs with the side order of gravy fries?' I want high cholesterol. I want to eat bacon, butter and buckets of cheese alright?"
