Quotables #69: The Collective Cinema of Morgan Freeman
Continuing our Collective Cinema Quotable game, we've decided to pick the movies of Morgan Freeman. Each of the following quotes or snippets of dialogue are spoken by Freeman. Your job is to guess which movies they're from.
Man:
Who are you?
Freeman:
I'm the one. The Divine Being. Alpha and Omega.
Man:
Oh, I see where this is going.
Freeman:
Bruce... I'm God.
Man:
Bingo! Yahtzee! Is that your final answer? Our survey says... God! Bing bing bing bing bing! Well, God, nice job on the Grand Canyon, and good luck with the Apocalypse. Oh, and by the way, you suck!
Movie 1:
Man:
[Name deleted], your files say you've served 40 years of a life sentence. Do you feel you've been rehabilitated?
Freeman:
Rehabilitated? Well, now let me see. You know, I don't have any idea what that means.
Man:
Well, it means that you're ready to rejoin society -
Freeman:
I know what you think it means, sonny. To me, it's just a made-up word. A politician's word, so young fellas like yourself can wear a suit and a tie, and have a job. What do you really want to know? Am I sorry for what I did?
Man:
Well, are you?
Freeman:
There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone, and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit.
Movie 2:
Freeman:
To make a fighter you gotta strip them down to bare wood: you can't just tell 'em to forget everything you know if you gotta make 'em forget even their bones. Make 'em so tired they only listen to you, only hear your voice, only do what you say and nothing else. Show 'em how to keep their balance and take it away from the other guy... how to generate momentum off their right toe and how to flex your knees when you fire a jab... how to fight backin' up so that the other guy doesn't want to come after you. Then you gotta show 'em all over again. Over and over and over... 'til they think they're born that way.
Movie 3:
Freeman:
You? You're the triggerman.
Man:
Me?
Freeman:
You.
Man:
Aren't there professionals? People you can hire to do this sort of thing?
Freeman:
Ha ha ha! Of course there are. Yes. But you owe me $96,000. Why should I go out and pay someone else when I've already paid you?
Movie 4:
Woman:
You know your letters, don't you?
Freeman:
Oh, yeah, yeah, I know my ABCs pretty good. Just can't read.
Woman:
Stop saying that! You're making me mad! If you know your letters, you can read. You just don't know you can read.
Freeman:
Ma'am?
Woman:
I taught some of the stupidest children God ever put on the face of this earth, and all of them could read well enough to find a name on a tombstone.
