"While I understand there’s been a change in the leadership of this nation, I am confident that you will still honor the agreement made by your predecessor and my king. We expect to leave here with ten thousand young men as agreed."

"May I remind you of a fleet of three thousand longships controlling the seas, surrounding your island. It would be unwise to displease my king. I’m prepared to extend the deadline by a week."

"Anything that you do to me will be repaid 10 times in kind. Now, you're a big man. Now, let's see you move."

"Let me show you what your uncle will do if you do not accept. This sword… Only you can prevent this. He must be met where sword meets tower. Trust the Mage. Take it."

"[to Arthur] I know your story. What kind of a man would you have become had you inherited your father's kingdom instead of being raised in a brothel? What gave you such drive?"

"You have won, nephew. You have won. Now, play with me."

"The sword is yours now, son. Take it."

"When people fear you... I mean, really fear you... it is the most intoxicating sensation a man can possess."

"No, I mean I’m sorry. You’ve made a mistake. You’re no longer dealing with the man you previously met. You are addressing England and all the subjects under her king’s protection. So you have a choice. You can now kneel to England… Or I’ll step off this throne and you can deal with me as the man you previously met."

"You're no longer a myth. You're starting to mean something."

"You are resisting the sword. The sword isn’t resisting you."

"[to Vortigern] You wanted to know what gave me such drive? It was you. You put me in that brothel. You cut me on the streets. I am here now because of you. You created me. And for that, I bless you. You make sense of the devil."

"It should be clear by now that whatever you and your friends think I am, I am not it."

"From Nothing Comes a King"

"It was Vortigern who murdered your father, but what you didn't account for is what you can do with his sword."

"It's quite dangerous being one of you lot, isn't it? You're good with animals, aren't you? They have a word for that, don't they? Mage... I thought your team was outlawed. Never met one of you in the flesh. I thought you'd be taller... and have a beard."

"Why have enemies when you can have friends?"

"I see you’re trying to get me to do something razzle-dazzle with that sword. I'm not getting drawn into this mess. There's an army of you, there's only one of me. I've talked, I'm happy to talk, but there is no way... that I am fighting."

"From Myth to Legend"

"Temptation Blackens the Heart"

"[Renton has just saved Spud from asphyxiating] You ruined my life, and now you're ruining my fucking death too!"

"What do they think I am eh? Do they think I am like one of these cunts in the bible that live forever?"

"[Veronika counting the money] And what does he think I am? A whore? He can just pay me off 4000 pounds, not even the interest? What am I supposed to do with that? Buy a fucking time machine? Live my life all over again? Maybe this time without being robbed by my best fucking friend!"

"These are not goals. These are political statements. It's still there. I've been there myself several times. You know nothing. You understand nothing. You live in the past. Where I come from the past is something to forget but here it's all you talk about. You are clearly so in love with each other that I feel awkward in your company. Instead of looking at me you should get naked and fuck each other."

"Ewen Bremner - Daniel "Spud" Murphy"

"[Monologue that is a reference to the beginning of the first film, to Veronika in a restaurant] "Choose life." "Choose life" was a well-meaning slogan from a 1980s antidrug campaign. And we used to add things to it. So I might say, for example, choose... Designer lingerie in the vain hope of kicking some life back into a dead relationship. Choose handbags. Choose high-heeled shoes. Cashmere and silk to make yourself feel what passes for happy. Choose an iPhone made in China by a woman who jumped out of a window, and stick it in the pocket of your jacket fresh from a South Asian firetrap. Choose Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram and a thousand other ways to spew your bile across people you've never met. Choose updating your profile. Tell the world what you had for breakfast and hope that someone, somewhere cares. Choose looking up old flames, desperate to believe that you don't look as bad as they do. Choose live-blogging from your first wank to your last breath. Human interaction reduced to nothing more than data. Choose ten things you never knew about celebrities who'd had surgery. Choose screaming about abortion. Choose rape jokes, slut shaming, revenge porn, and an endless tide of depressing misogyny. Choose 9/11 never happened, and if it did, it was the Jews. Choose a zero-hour contract and a two-hour journey to work, and choose the same for your kids, only worse. And maybe tell yourself it's better that they never happened. And then sit back and smother the pain with an unknown dose of an unknown drug made in somebody's fucking kitchen. Choose unfulfilled promise and wishing you'd done it all differently. Choose never learning from your own mistakes. Choose watching history repeat itself. Choose the slow reconciliation towards what you can get rather than what you always hoped for. Settle for less and keep a brave face on it. Choose disappointment. And choose losing the ones you loved. And as they fall from view, a piece of you dies with them. Until you can see that one day in the future, piece by piece, they will all be gone. And there'll be nothing left of you to call alive or dead. Choose your future, Veronika. Choose life. Anyway, it amused us at the time."
