Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake in The Dark Knight Rises: "Not a lot of people know what it feels like to be angry, in your bones. I mean, they understand, foster parents, everybody understands, for a while. Then they want the angry little kid to do something he knows he can't do, move on. So after a while they stop understanding. They send the angry kid to a boys home. I figured it out too late. You gotta learn to hide the anger, practice smiling in the mirror. It's like putting on a mask."
Morgan Paull as Dave Holden in Blade Runner: "They’re just questions, Leon. In answer to your query, they’re written down for me. It’s a test, designed to provoke an emotional response… Shall we continue?"
John Hurt as Winston Smith in Nineteen Eighty-Four: "Freedom is the freedom to say two plus two equals four. If that is granted all else will follow."
Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity in The Matrix: "The answer is out there, Neo, and it's looking for you, and it will find you if you want it to."
Nigel Hawthorne as Raymond Cocteau in Demolition Man: "Well I must say that whacking, whatever it is, sounds most disagreeable."
Sheila Raynor as Mum in A Clockwork Orange: "But you've not been to school all week, son."
Sylvester Stallone as John Spartan in Demolition Man: "Somebody put me back in the fridge."
Rudolf Klein-Rogge as Rotwang in Metropolis: "Isn't it worth the loss of a hand to have created the man of the future, the Machine-Man? ! Give me another 24 hours - and no one, Joh Fredersen, no one will be able to tell a Machine-Man from a mortal! The woman is mine, Joh Fredersen! The son of Hel was yours!"
Suzanne Hamilton as Julia in Nineteen Eighty-Four: "It's the one thing they can't do. They can torture you, make you say anything. But they can't make you believe it. They can't get inside you. They can't get to your heart."
