"What is this great evil? How did it steal into the world? From what seed, what root did it spring? Who's doing this? Who's killing us? Robbing us of light and life. Mocking us with the sight of what we might have known."
"I've seen horrors... horrors that you've seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that... but you have no right to judge me. It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror. Horror has a face... and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies. I remember when I was with Special Forces. Seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate the children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for Polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A ile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that. The genius. The will to do that. Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we. Because they could stand that these were not monsters. These were men... trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love... but they had the strength... the strength... to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral... and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling... without passion... without judgment... without judgment. Because it's judgment that defeats us."
"I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight... razor... and surviving."
"We train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders won't allow them to write "****" on their airplanes because it's obscene!"
"The horror. The horror."

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

My vote goes to the pitch-perfect Dr. Strangelove monologue as posted by Holden.

Sellers did maybe the best Bob Newhart routine ever (sorry, Bob!), much improvised of course. It's really quite maginificent, and so perfectly sums up the tone and irreverance of the greatest of all movie satires.

Also,
"You talkin' to me?" from Taxi Driver
from American Beauty, the plastic bag monologue
and a monologue couched in dialogue, a memorable moment from an otherwise unmemorable movie:
SID: You want subversion on a massive level. You know what one of the greatest ****ing scripts ever written in the history of Hollywood is? Top Gun.
DUANE: Oh, come on.
SID: Top Gun is ****ing great. What is Top Gun? You think it's a story about a bunch of fighter pilots.
DUANE: It's about a bunch of guys waving their dicks around.
SID: It is a story about a man's struggle with his own homosexuality. It is! That is what Top Gun is about, man. You've got Maverick, all right? He's on the edge, man. He's right on the ****ing line, all right? And you've got Iceman, and all his crew. They're gay, they represent the gay man, all right? And they're saying, go, go the gay way, go the gay way. He could go both ways.
DUANE: What about Kelly McGillis?
SID: Kelly McGillis, she's heterosexuality. She's saying: no, no, no, no, no, no, go the normal way, play by the rules, go the normal way. They're saying no, go the gay way, be the gay way, go for the gay way, all right? That is what's going on throughout that whole movie . . . He goes to her house, all right? It looks like they're going to have sex, you know, they're just kind of sitting back, he's takin' a shower and everything. They don't have sex. He gets on the motorcycle, drives away. She's like, "What the f***, what the f*** is going on here?" Next scene, next scene you see her, she's in the elevator, she is dressed like a guy. She's got the cap on, she's got the aviator glasses, she's wearing the same jacket that the Iceman wears. She is, okay, this is how I gotta get this guy, this guy's going towards the gay way, I gotta bring him back, I gotta bring him back from the gay way, so I'll do that through subterfuge, I'm gonna dress like a man. All right? That is how she approaches it.
Okay, now let me just ask you—I'm gonna digress for two seconds here. I met this girl Amy here, she's like floating around here and everything. Now, she just got divorced, right?
All right, but the real ending of the movie is when they fight the MIGs at the end, all right? Because he has passed over into the gay way. They are this gay fighting ****ing force, all right? And they're beating the Russians, the gays are beating the Russians. And it's over, and they ****ing land, and Iceman's been trying to get Maverick the entire time, and finally, he's got him, all right? And what is the last ****ing line that they have together? They're all hugging and kissing and happy with each other, and Ice comes up to Maverick, and he says, "Man, you can ride my tail, anytime!" And what does Maverick say? "You can ride mine!" Swordfight! Swordfight! F*** an A, man!
For the new car and matching washer and dryer, can you name that movie? Without cheating? And who plays Sid?

What are you all, nuts? I read through these responses, and I didn't find two of the greatest monolouges in movie history: (well, one of the greatest.)
Good Will Hunting's NSA Speech
William Wallace's Inspirational Speech
Now, I just skimed the posts, but I think I skimed good enough to see what everyone wrote, and these two weren't on any of them. I'm quite suprised, really. Oh, and by the way, Revenant, check out my signature for another Terminator related quote.

I believe in The Church of Baseball. I've tried
all the major religons, and most of the minor
ones. I've worshipped Buddah, Allah, Brahma,
Vishnu, Shiva, trees, mushrooms and Isadora
Duncan. I know things. For instance, there
are a hundred and eight beads in a Catholic
rosary, and there are a hundred and eight
stitches in a baseball. When I learned that,
I gave Jesus a chance. But it just didn't work
out between us. The Lord laid too much guilt
on me. I prefer metephysics to theology. You
see, there's no guilt in baseball, and it's never
boring, which makes it like sex. There's never
been a ballplayer slept with me who didn't have
the best year of his career. Making love is like
hitting a baseball: you just gotta relax and con-
centrate. Besides, I'd never sleep with a player
hittin' under .250, unless he had a lot of RBIs or
was a great glove man up the middle.
You see, there's a certain amount of wisdom I
give these boys. I can expand their minds. Some-
times when I get a ballplayer alone, I just read
Emily Dickenson or Walt Whitman to him. And the
guys are so sweet, they always stay and listen.
Of course, a guy'll listen to anything if he thinks
it's foreplay. I make them feel confident and they
make me feel safe...and pretty. Of course, what I
give them lasts a lifetime. What they give me lasts
a hundred and fourty-two games. Sometimes it
seems like a bad trade, but bad trades are part of
baseball. Who can forget Frank Robinson for Milt
Pappas, for God's sake? It's a long season and you
gotta trust it. I've tried 'em all, I really have, and
the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in
and day out, is The Church of Baseball.

that the novel's of Susan Sontag are self-

Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe
there oughtta be a Constitutional Amendment
outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter.

Frost:Back in '72 I was in Nam, trapped behind enemy lines, lying in a rat hole with my entire squad dead. They thought they killed everybody, and except for me, they were right. But it wasn't for lack of trying. A grenade blew up right next to me, that's why I'm so pretty.
They thought I was dead, so I played dead. They dumped all the bodies in a ditch. All I could do was lie there playing possum. Dead bodies under me, dead bodies on top of me, listening to the enemy laugh and joke hour after hour after hour...

"So then you're aware of it. Our connection. You see I don't fully understand how it happened, perhaps some part of you imprinted onto me, something overwritten or copied.. it is at this point irrelevant. What matters is that whatever happened happened for a reason. I killed you Mister Anderson, I watched you die (with a certain satisfaction I might add), and then something happened. Something that I knew was impossible but it happened anyway. You destroyed me Mister Anderson. Afterwards, I knew the rules, I understood what I was supposed to do, but I didn't. I couldn't I was compelled to stay, compelled to disobey.. and here I stand because of you Mister Anderson, because of you I'am no longer and agent of this system, because of you I've changed.. I'm unplugged; a new man, so to speak like you apparently free. But as you well know, appearances can be deceiving, which brings me back to the reason why we're here. We're not here because we're free, we're here because we're not free, there's no escaping reason.. no denying purpose because as we both know, without purpose.. we would not exist.
It is purpose that created us,
purpose that connects us,
purpose that pulls us,
that guides us,
that drives us.
It is purpose that defines.
purpose that binds us.
We're here because of you Mister Anderson, we're here to take from you what you tried to take from us. Purpose."
