King Leonidas: Spartans! Ready your breakfast and eat hearty, for tonight we dine in hell!

[A Persian messenger threatens Leonidas to give tribute to Xerxes and Leonidas answers by raising his sword to him] Persian messenger: [nervous] No man, Persian or Greek, no man threatens a messenger! King Leonidas: You bring the crowns and heads of conquered kings to my city's steps! You insult my queen. You threaten my people with slavery and death! Oh, I've chosen my words carefully, Persian. Perhaps you should have done the same. Persian messenger: This is blasphemy! This is madness! [Leonidas lowers his sword] King Leonidas: Madness?... This is SPARTA!!! [kicks the Persian messenger into the deep well]

Xerxes: You Greeks take pride in your logic. I suggest you employ it. Consider the beautiful land you so vigorously defend. Picture it reduced to ash at my whim! Consider the fate of your women! King Leonidas: Clearly you don't know our women. I might as well have marched them up here, judging by what I've seen. You have many slaves, Xerxes, but few warriors. It won't be long before they fear my spears more than your whips. Xerxes: It is not the lash they fear, it is my divine power. But I am a generous god. I can make you rich beyond all measure. I will make you warlord of all Greece. You will carry my battle standard to the heart of Europa. Your Athenian rivals will kneel at your feet if you will but kneel at mine. King Leonidas: You are generous as you are divine, O King of Kings. Such an offer only a madman would refuse. But the, uh, the idea of kneeling, it's... You see, slaughtering all those men of yours has, uh, well, it's left a nasty cramp in my leg, so kneeling will be hard for me.

[On Wayne's Yacht on the Carribean with the Moscow Ballerinas] Bruce Wayne: You look tired, Alfred. You'll be alright without me? [Alfred looks at all the sunbathing women] Alfred Pennyworth: You can tell me the Russian for; "apply your own bloody suntan lotion."

Dilios: Immortals... they fail our king's test. And a man who fancies himself a god feels a very human chill crawl up his spine.

Dilios: The old ones say we Spartans are descended from Hercules himself. Bold Leonidas gives testament to our bloodline. His roar is long and loud.

[Referring to Leonidas] Dilios: It's been more than thirty years since the wolf and the winter cold. And now, as then, it is not fear that grips him, only restlessness. A heightened sense of things. The seaborn breeze, coolly, kissing the sweat at his chest and neck. Gulls cawing, complaining, even as they feast on the thousands of floating dead. The steady breathing of the 300 at his back, ready to die for him without a moment's pause. Everyone of them ready, to die.

[Referring to Bella after Edward turns her into a vampire] Jacob Black: Maybe they'll say she was in car crash or tripped and fell off a cliff. At least I'll get one thing out of it. Sam Uley: No, you won't. Cullen's are not a danger to the town or the tribe. Jacob Black: Well, he's either gonna kill her or changer her. And the treaty says... Sam Uley: I say, Jacob. I say.

Embry: You know if you wanted things different, you should have become Alpha. Jacob Black: Turning it down seemed like a good idea at the time. Seth: Jake, you really think you could kill Bella if she comes back as a vampire? Leah: No. He'll make one of us do it, then hold a grudge against... Jacob Black: Ah, shut up, Leah! Leah: Would you just get over it? It's not like you imprinted on her. [they look overat the werewolves who have imprinted on their soul mates] Seth: At least they seem happy. Embry: Yeah. Some people are just lucky, I guess. Jacob Black: Lucky? None of them belong to themselves anymore. And the sickest part is, their genes tell them they're happy about it. Leah: At least if you imprinted on someone you'd finally forget about Bella. I mean, being any kind of happy is better than being miserable about someone you can't have.

[As the Spartans are surrounded] Persian General: Leonidas, my compliments and congratulations. You surely have turned calamity to victory. Despite your insufferable arrogance, the god-king has come to admire Spartan valor and fighting skill. You will make a mighty ally. Ephialtes: Yield, Leonidas! Use your reason! Think of your men! I beg you. Persian General: Listen to your fellow Greek. He can attest to the divine one's generosity. Despite your several insults, despite your horrid blasphemies, the lord of hosts is prepared to forgive all, and more, to reward your service. You fight for your lands? Keep them! You fight for Sparta? She will be wealthier and more powerful than ever before! You fight for you kingship? You will be proclaimed warlord of all Greece, answerable only to the one true master of the world! Leonidas, your victory will be complete if you but lay down your arms, and kneel to holy Xerxes.
