Memorable Quotes from The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises

Some of the memorable quotes from the 2 movies. And I seriously got addicted to Bane’s voice. There’s nothing more epic than to do your presentation with his voice.

The Dark Knight (2008)

The Joker: Oh, you. You just couldn’t let me go, could you? This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You truly are incorruptible, aren’t you? You won’t kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness. And I won’t kill you because you’re just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever.

The Joker: I took Gotham’s white knight and I brought him down to our level. It wasn’t hard. You see, madness, as you know, is like gravity. All it takes is a little push!

The Joker: [to Det. Stephens] Do you want to know why I use a knife? Guns are too quick. You can’t savor all the… little emotions. In… you see, in their last moments, people show you who they really are. So in a way, I know your friends better than you ever did. Would you like to know which of them were cowards?

Lt. James Gordon: Because he’s the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we’ll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he’s not our hero. He’s a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.

The Chechen: What do you propose?
The Joker: It’s simple. We, uh, kill the Batman.
[mobsters laugh]
Salvatore Maroni: If it’s so simple, why haven’t you done it already?
The Joker: If you’re good at something, never do it for free.

Alfred Pennyworth: I suppose they’ll lock me up as well. As your accomplice…
Bruce Wayne: Accomplice? I’m going to tell them the whole thing was your idea.

Harvey Dent: The night is darkest just before the dawn. And I promise you, the dawn is coming.

Batman: Then why do you want to kill me?
The Joker: [giggling] I don’t, I don’t want to kill you! What would I do without you? Go back to ripping off mob dealers? No, no, NO! No. You… you… complete me.
Batman: You’re garbage who kills for money.
The Joker: Don’t talk like one of them. You’re not! Even if you’d like to be. To them, you’re just a freak, like me! They need you right now, but when they don’t, they’ll cast you out, like a leper! You see, their morals, their code, it’s a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They’re only as good as the world allows them to be. I’ll show you. When the chips are down, these… these civilized people, they’ll eat each other. See, I’m not a monster. I’m just ahead of the curve.

Batman: [about the Joker] Where is he?
Salvatore Maroni: I don’t know where he is, he found us!
Batman: He must have friends!
Salvatore Maroni: [incredulous] Friends? Have you *met* this guy?

 

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

Bane: No one cared who I was, until I put on the mask.

Bane: Oh, you think darkness is your ally. You merely adopted the dark; I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn’t see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING!

Bane: We will destroy Gotham and then, when it is done and Gotham is ashes, then you have my permission to die

Bruce Wayne: Why didn’t you just kill me?
Bane: You don’t fear death… You welcome it. Your punishment must be more severe.

Alfred: [to Bruce] I won’t bury you. I buried enough members of the Wayne family.

Lucius Fox: This conversation used to end with an unusual request.
Bruce Wayne: I’m retired.
Lucius Fox: Well let me show you some stuff anyway. Just for old time’s sake.

Lucius Fox: I call him The Bat, and yes Mr. Wayne it does come in black.

Roland Daggett: You’re pure evil!
Bane: I’m necessary evil.

Bruce Wayne: If this man is everything that you say he is, then this city needs me.
Alfred: This city needs Bruce Wayne, your resources, your knowledge. It doesn’t need your body, or your life. That time has passed.
Bruce Wayne: You’re afraid that if I go back out there I’ll fail.
Alfred: No. I’m afraid that you want to.

Let’s Start Talking 2012

Marsha, Bethany and Jonathan are going back today. Will definitely miss their presence here. Just to briefly describe them;

Marsha is the cool one with the strongest accent among the three. She has been real patience with me because every time I do the reading sessions with her, I always asked many unrelated and out of context questions but she still answer every one of them.

Bethany is the playful one and it was real fun playing games with her. She loves Korean related stuff and that’s why she and Sheue Li managed to get along very well.

On the other hand, Jonathan is the happy-go-lucky kind of person. And he can cook and bake delicious cupcakes too.

Thanks guys for coming all the way here!! Hope you will have a safe journey home! =)

Recycling 2012

    Going to keep this real short. Like previous year, we held another recycling campaign yesterday. It was another one of the activities with the American teens. When compared to last year, there were less teams (only 3 instead of 4) and even less people who participate this event. However, we managed to collect more recyclable items this year as the residents in Taman Bunga Raya are more aware of what we are doing. I’m still a little bit dissapointed with some of the resident’s attitude; they thought that they could fool us by hiding themself and pretend they’re not at home. The technique can work, only if we can’t see through your window… Next time, try closing your curtains before we come, it’ll help you with your hide and seek.
