The one that makes me feel the most uneasy is from Hannibal Lecter.

Actually, everything said and done in **Manos: The Hands of Fate** was rather disturbing.

In _Chinatown_:  
Just by chance, I saw this specific scene today, and it is still disturbing:  
_Jake Gittes_ Who is she? And don’t give me that crap about your sister because you don’t have a sister.

_Evelyn Mulwray_ I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you the truth.

_Jake Gittes_ Good. What’s her name?

_Evelyn Mulwray_ Katherine.

_Jake Gittes_ Katherine who?

_Evelyn Mulwray_ She’s my daughter.

[Jake slaps Evelyn]

_Jake Gittes_ I said I want the truth.

_Evelyn Mulwray_ She’s my sister. (Another slap) She’s my daughter. (Another slap) My sister, my daughter.

[Two more slaps.]

_Jake Gittes_ I said I want the truth!

_Evelyn Mulwray_ **She’s my sister and my daughter!!!**

My list I think is more about the context rather than the content.

“What Heart?”  
Tom… **Miller’s Crossing**.

“Watch this… like I teach all my boys… always put one in the brain”  
Johny Casper…\*\* Miller’s Crossing\*\*

“You have my sympathies”  
Ash… **Alien**

“Leave the gun, take the cannoli”  
Clemenza… **The Godfather**  
It is amusing at first but damn is it cold blodded in the way he dismisses a man’s death.

“Is it safe?”  
The dentist… **Marathon Man**

“Do you know who is in charge here?”  
“yeah…”  
Soldier to Willard at the Do Long Bridge **Appocalypse Now**

“Ja, why is the top down? I’m fucking freezing.”

Gothe \*\*Schindler’s list \*\*

This line is said as he drives through the Ghetto and is asked if he had any questions after it is explained how the ghetto is divided between the “useful and useless” Jews. This was to signify the start of the next phase of final solution, the liquidation of the ghettos. He brushes off the magnitude of the moment and its true horrific meaning with a trivial complaint about the fact his car’s roof is down. So cold blooded.

For six centuries there has been a Jewish Krakow. By this evening those six centuries will be a rumor. They never happened. Today is history.  
Gothe \*\*Schindler’s list \*\*  
And could someone please translate what is said by the SS officer as he is shooting into the pile of burning corpses in Shindler’s List?

He seems half crazed and I have always wondered what it was he was saying.  
I always imagined some bizzare raving or twisted thought at that moment.

Actually, I thought it was more disturbing a moment later when he talked about the phantom tickling that amputees feel said, “When your little girl’s on the slab, where will it tickle you?”

**"I live in the weak and the wounded, Doc."**

That’s the last line of the film, and it’s magnificently creepy when considering what has gone before.

I gotta give this one a vote. Just because of the image it brings up of it’s execution, the look on Ving Rhames face that lets you know what he’s been through and the knowledge that what he’s gonna do is waaaaaaaaaaay more than what he just said.
