Amusing dialouges from movies

These are my favourite dialogues from the movie V for Vendetta

Creedy: “Defiant to the end, huh? You won't cry like him, will you? You're not afraid of death. You're like me.”

V: “The only thing that you and I have in common, Mr. Creedy, is we're both about to die.”

Creedy: “How do you imagine that's gonna happen?”

V: “With my hands around your neck.”

Creedy: “Bollocks. Whatchya gonna do, huh? We've swept this place. You've got nothing. Nothing but your bloody knives and your fancy karate gimmicks. We have guns.”

V: “No, what you have are bullets, and the hope that when your guns are empty I'm no longer be standing, because if I am you'll all be dead before you've reloaded.”

Creedy: “That's impossible. Kill him.”

[the fingermen open fire on V, but he still stands after their clips are empty]

V: “My turn”

[V proceeds to kill all fingermen with his knives before they manage to reload]

Creedy: “[Desperately shooting at the approaching V] Die! Die! Why won't you die?..Why won't you die?”

V: “ Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr.Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.”
