Hi! The time of Netflixs Bird Box has arrived. Just saw the movie, and I think it's decent. Let's check out it's quotes:
Rick, on his transmission (from the beginning of the movie): We have a place, a compound. We have a community. It's safe here. How many of you are there? Are any of them children? Because the fastest way to get here is by the river, and I don't think you could make it with kids.
Malorie: Listen to me. I'm only gonna say this once. We are going on the trip now. It's going to be rough. It's gonna feel like it's going on for a long time, so it's gonna be hard to stay alert. It's gonna be even harder to be quiet, but you have to do both. You have to do every single thing I say or we will not make it. Understand? Under no circumstance are you allowed to take off your blindfold. If I find that you have, I will hurt you. Do you understand? It's cold. We have blankets. Boy, you have your dog. Girl, you have your kitty. This is just a place. There's nothing more that we need from it. Do you understand? And no talking on the river! You must listen as closely as you can. If you hear something in the woods, you tell me. If you hear something in the water, you tell me. But you never, ever take off your blindfold. If you look, you will die. Do you understand?
Malorie: Uh... asshole, I was listening to that.
Jessica: Yeah, so were the people down the street.
Jessica: The store was packed. This thing seems serious. Wow, you literally have no food.
Malorie What... What thing?
Jessica: Are you serious?
Malorie I'm serious.
Jessica: Turn on the news, dumb-dumb.
Malorie: Dumb-dumb. What channel, dumb-dumb?
Jessica: Any one of them.
On the news: Airports and train stations have shut down. Streets are crowded with people escaping cities by car and on foot as witnesses report unexplained mass suicides. First recorded in Romania, there's now an alarming spread of incidents into Europe and Siberia. Estimated death toll is in the tens of thousands.
On another channel: Don't yet know what is causing the mass suicides in Europe and Russia. The eyewitness reports tell of people exhibiting psychotic behavior. Our sources are telling us this does not appear to be pathological or viral. US authorities are advising the public to remain calm. There have been no officially confirmed inst...
Malorie: Well, it's in Russia, so...
Malorie: What do you think?
Jessica: I think I see a whole bunch of people sitting together, but they all feel incredibly lonely.
Malorie: The loneliness is just incidental. It's really about people's inability to connect.
Jessica: Inability to connect to what?
Malorie: Can you move?
Jessica: Malorie.
Malorie: I need you to move.
Jessica: We've been through this. That's not how it's gonna be for you. It's different with a baby. It's an immediate love affair.
Malorie: It's not gonna be that way for me.
Jessica: Yes, it will.
Malorie: No, ma'am.
Jessica: You should be afraid of being alone, not of this. And what we need to do is get you out into the real world with other people, not stuck in this house all day. You never leave.
Malorie: Why should I leave? I have you to get me groceries.
- You have to move.
- No, not moving.
Dr. Lapham: How have you been feeling? Have you been sleeping any better?
Malorie: Rough. I never slept well before I had this condition.
Dr. Lapham: It's called pregnancy. It's okay to say it out loud.
Jessica: Oh, don't you know, Doctor, if you don't acknowledge a thing, it simply goes away?
Dr. Lapham: Oh, really? All this time, I had no idea.
Jessica: When a horse gets pregnant.
Malorie: Oh god..
Jessica: You know about horses? When a horse gets pregnant, it knows right away.It changes the way it eats. It changes its gait. It bites all the other horses who come too close.
Malorie: It's too bad we're not horses.
Jessica: It is too bad. Great to be a horse. Then we would have, like, a mother who would have actually raised us and a father off on some faraway stud farm.
Malorie: Hold on. Our father was off on a faraway stud farm.
Jessica: That is correct.
Dr. Lapham: You might want to think of a name besides "little bean" seeing as your child is now the size of a small melon.
Dr. Lapham: I know it's hard to love someone you haven't met yet.
Malorie: Oh, that's beautiful. Thought about stitching that on, like, a little lavender sachet? Could sell them in the gift shop.
You're having a baby, Malorie. Pretty soon you and I, Jessica, and some hard-ass labor and delivery nurse will be on the third floor making the same wise cracks. Only this time, you won't be going home by yourself. But if that's not what you want, there are plenty of couples who are desperate to adopt a child. There are no judgments here. You can make whatever choice you want. But what you can't do is ignore it and hope it just goes away.
Jessica: Are you puking?
Malorie: Just go to the car.
Jessica: Is it chunky?
Malorie: No, it was actually the really smooth kind that just shoots out real clean.
Jessica: You can stay at my place until whatever the fuck this is isn't.
Malorie: I don't have any clothes.
Jessica:You can wear something of mine.
Malorie:I'm not much of a chaps-and-boots gal.
Jessica: You're worried about what to wear right now?
Malorie: Well, I find it comforting to focus on the wrong things.
Jessica: I'm not running the light with a pregnant lady in the car.
Malorie: Just drive the car!
Lydia: Mom...
Felix: You're in the Academy, it doesn't make you a cop.
Douglas: No, the only thing that will happen soon is we're all gonna die soon. This has a classic bio-warfare signature. North Korea or Iran.
Greg: It seems like if you look at it, it makes you crazy or it makes you wanna hurt yourself!?
Douglas: No, it makes you kill yourself.
Charlie: It's an end game, man.
Cheryl: I'm sorry, what?
Charlie: The end game. Humanity has been judged, and we've been found wanting.
Lucy: Judged? By who?
Charlie: They go by different names.You got world religion and mythology that's full of mentions of demons or spirit creatures. People who've seen these creatures almost always describe their encounter as this... as with an entity that takes on a form of your worst fears or...your deepest sadness or your greatest loss.
Felix: Sounds like bullshit to me. Religious talk.
Charlie: It's not bullshit, okay? It's real talk. It's facts. They come in all different forms.You got the Aka Manah, the Varios Daevas from ancient Zoroastrian legend.You've got the Surgat from ancient Christian occult beliefs that made pregnant women encounter their unborn children as other creatures such as lobsters or spiders. You've got the Huli-jing from China. You've got the Puca from Celtic mythology. All different names, but the same thing.
Greg: And what's that?
Charlie The end of us.
Lucy: Charlie, did you learn all of that working at the supermarket?
Charlie: No, I've been studying it for years.
Lucy: In college?
Charlie: Not college per se, but... I mean the Internet. That's where you get all your information from.
Felix: So we can't do anything but wait here until we go crazy like him?
Douglas: Great, now we can all starve here in the maternity ward.
Douglas: I think it's a huge mistake.
Greg: You would, Douglas. You think everything is a huge mistake.
Malorie: So why are you suing him?
Douglas: 'Cause they want to tear down this part of their house and build some glass monstrosity. His husband's an architect.
Malorie: It's his property. Why do you care what he builds?
Douglas: Because I have to look at it.
Lucy: Not a chance.
Felix: Well, the world's ending, baby, so you never know.
Douglas: I fucking told him that it was a mistake.
Charlie: Charlie's going? Charlie ain't going nowhere.
Charlie: I gave you the information. That's all you needed. You don't need me to tell you where to go. It is a supermarket. They got signs. You've been shopping before. You wanna get cereal, the sign will say cereals. If you can't read, I get it, but you can read.
Charlie: That's not a fucking speed bump!
Douglas: And after all this, we're supposed to get out now? Lucky us...
Douglas: I would like to take this opportunity to make a toast to all of us because all of us, collectively, are making the end of the world great again! Yeah! Birdies. I mean, don't you doofuses get it? Uh, we could just stay here. We have a year's supply of food and drink right here. We don't ever have to pay and we shouldn't ever leave.
Malorie: And what are they gonna do at Greg's? Starve?
Douglas: Better them than us. We have everything we need to live here. Everything. There is no statistical, logical, or legal argument for trying to get back there.
Malorie: Here's an argument: we're not assholes. And we're not staying.
Cheryl: Where's Charlie?
Douglas: Another novel I won't have to read.
Douglas: I know what you think of me, what everybody thinks of me. You know, in the divorce petition my first wife said that to call me a creep would be an affront to creeps everywhere. My second wife said she no longer feared going to hell, 'cause it couldn't possibly be worse than being married to me.
Malorie: Think I would have loved them.
Douglas: Maybe. And then Lydia. Third time really was the charm for me. She was the kindest person I ever met. But I'm here and she's gone. You know why that is? Because, in the end, there are only two types of people. The assholes and the dead.
Malorie: God, you sound like my father.
Douglas: Like your father? Why? Was he a towering intellect given to dispensing wisdom to undeserving fools?
Malorie: Yes, he was fluent in asshole as well. And just like you, he blamed everything he did on some deeper meaning, convoluted conspiracy theories and how it was everybody else's fault when he was clearly in the wrong. But, you know, once my sister and I realized it was just an excuse to treat his family like shit, it made life a little easier.
Douglas: You know what though? I see one difference between us. I'm never wrong.
Douglas: Oh, come on, the world is ending. I really don't think a quarter-ounce of whiskey's gonna tip the scales, do you?
Malorie: The end of the world makes us do things.
Tom: It's not the end of the world.
Malorie: Really? It sure feels like it.
Tom: At the end of my deployment in Iraq, we were stationed at this village ordered to patrol the streets, make sure everybody was safe. One morning, we saw this father walking with his four kids. So I pulled over to make sure everything was okay and to make sure he got wherever he was going safely. Come to find out, he was walking his kids to school. In the middle of all that shit, all that chaos, he was walking his kids to school. So we just followed him. Day after day. We escorted him.
That just became our routine. And then, at the end of our time, he gave me this when it was time to come back home. I like to think he's still walking his kids to school.
Cheryl: He was terrified!
Douglas: Are you a simpleton?
Douglas: Get up and get out. It's not an orphanage. New guy, you had a great visit.
We really loved meeting you. Now fuck off. And anybody who doesn't agree, you go with him.
Douglas: Lydia, Greg, Charlie. If you wanna save people out there, then you go right through that door and you go do it. We're not bringing any more strangers in here. Not while I'm alive. I won't tell you again, get up and get...
Cheryl: The only reason I opened that door is 'cause I remember what it felt like to be outside of it. If you guys hadn't let me in, I... I feel like such a burden.
Malorie: That's not true.
Cheryl: It is. It is. You're not soft like me. I'm so spoiled. My parents have always done everything for me and then my husband, and I just...I got soft from all that love.
Malorie: Well, I was raised by wolves, so consider yourself lucky.
Cheryl: If something happens to me, I want you to take care of my baby. Okay?
Malorie: No. No.
Cheryl: Please!
Malorie: It's your baby.
Cheryl: Malorie promise me.
Malorie: Nothing is gonna happen to you. It's your baby.
Cheryl: Promise me.
Malorie: Nothing...
Cheryl: Please promise me.
Malorie: Yeah, okay. Yeah, of course.
Greg: Hey, Malorie. Give me the children. Give me the kids. Give me the children or I'll take them!
Tom: Surviving is not living.
Tom: Life is more than just what is. It's what could be. What you could make it. You need to love them knowing that you may lose them at any second. They deserve dreams. They deserve love. They deserve hope. They deserve a mother. They deserve a mother. You haven't given them names, Mal. Their names are Boy and Girl! Think about that.
Malorie: Every single decision I have made has been for them. Every single one!
Tom: You know what I saw? At the top of the tree? I saw a nest. With five birds. Sitting on the top branch. And then they just flew away.
Boy: She's scared of you.
Malorie: I'm so sorry, sweet girl. I'm so sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so harsh. I shouldn't have stopped you from playing. I shouldn't have ended Tom's story because it wasn't finished. When he climbed to the very top of that giant oak tree, he saw the most beautiful things. He saw hundreds of children playing games. Hundreds. And he saw birds, all different colored birds, and... and he saw us. He saw us from the very top. He saw us together, and we have to be together. And it's not just a story. It's not, because I have so much I want to show you. I have so much I want you to see. Okay? But we have to do it together, okay? So I just need you to come to me right now, okay? Please? Just come to me.
Malorie: What do you guys say we let the birds go and be with their friends?
Dr. Lapham: Malorie Hayes?
Malorie: Dr. Lapham.
Dr. Lapham: And what are your names?
Malorie: Girl. Boy. Actually...your name is Olympia. Named after the sweetest girl I ever met. And your name...Your name is Tom. And I am their mother.
Boy: Tom.
Malorie: And I am their mother.
