I just saw Sleepy Hollow, so here are some from that:
Ichabod: You have moved the body?
Lancaster: I did.
Ichabod: You must never move the body!
Lancaster: Why not?
Ichabod: …Because!
Ichabod: …I was seven when I lost my faith.
Katrina: What do you believe in?
Ichabod: Sense and reason. Cause and consequence. I should not have come to this place. Where my rational mind has been so controverted by the spirit world.
Katrina: Will you take nothing from Sleepy Hollow that was worth the coming here?
Ichabod: No. No, not nothing. A kiss… from a lovely young woman… before she saw my face or knew my name.
Katrina: Yes. Without sense or reason.
Ichabod: Villainy wears many masks, none so dangerous as that of virtue.
Ichabod: …but perhaps there is a little bit of witch in you, Katrina.
Katrina: Why do you say that?
Ichabod: Because you have bewitched me.
Lady Van Tassel: You’re just in time to have your head cut off!
Young Masbath: Do you… know the Horseman, Ma’am? The Hessian?
Crone: makes slicing sound and draws finger across throat
Young Masbath: That’ll be him, Ma’am.
Ichabod: It was a headless Horseman!
Baltus: You must not excite yourself.
Ichabod: But it was a headless Horseman!
Baltus: Of course it was… that’s why you’re here.
Ichabod: No! You must believe me! It was a Horseman! A dead one! Headless!
Baltus: I know… I know.
Ichabod: You don’t know because you were not there! It’s all true!
Baltus: Of course it is. I told you. Everyone told you.
Crane: I… saw him. faints
And from Pirates of the Caribbean:
Captain Jack Sparrrow: Mr. Cotton’s…parrot. Same question.
Captain Jack Sparrrow: But…WHY IS THE RUM GONE?!
Captain Jack Sparrrow: There’ll be no living with her after this.
Captain Jack Sparrrow: STOP BLOWING HOLES IN MY SHIP!
Captain Jack Sparrrow: No, no, by all means, kill the whelp.
Caprain Barbossa: You’d better start believin’ in ghost stories, Ms. Turner. You’re in one!
Captain Jack Sparrrow: Not sure I deserved that.
