"DEAR MR. AND MRS.! I'M SORRY TO TELL YOU THIS, BUT YOUR TIME IS ESSENTIALLY UP! AND YOU FAILED! YOU FAILED TO DELIVER THE HOMELESS SWINE! I'm very disappointed as you FINE FOLK SHOULD KNOW BETTER! THAT PIECE OF FILTH THAT YOU ARE PROTECTING EXISTS ONLY TO SERVE OUR NEED TO PURGE! So, I bid thee farewell, sweet Sandins. [loads his gun; to his gang] Release the beast, boys! Let the killing commence!"

"One night a year, all crime is legal. Survive the night."

"Reminder all emergency services will be suspended for a 12-hour period during the purge."

"I want all these barricades down! Get chains on every door and every window!"

"Chris Mulkey - Mr. Halverson"

"There you are. Thank you for accepting my invitation. Tell me, why haven't you delivered the filthy swine to me yet? Are you protecting him? I certainly hope not, Mr. Sandin."

"Our equipment is arriving soon. And we will get in. Send out he, or that... will be thee."

"Ethan Hawke - James Sandin"

"Tisha French - Mrs. Halverson"

"Your home tells me you're good folk, just like us. One of the haves. And your blue flowers tell me that you support the Purge. We want to treat you fairly, so listen closely. Let me introduce us. We are some fine... young... very educated... guys and gals. We have gotten gussied up in our most terrifying guises. As we do every year. Ready to violate... annihilate, and cleanse our souls. But things took a turn. Our target escaped us, and... Several of your dear neighbors informed us that you, the Sandins, have inexplicably given him sanctuary. Mr. and Mrs., the man you're sheltering is nothing but a dirty, homeless pig. A grotesque menace to our just society, who had the audacity to fight back, killing one of us when we attempted to execute him tonight. The pig doesn't know his place, and now he needs to be taught a lesson. You need to return him to us. Alive. So that we may Purge as we are entitled. Here's the plan, Sandins. You have until our provisions arrive, provisions which will help us break into your elegant home. If you don't... If you don't deliver him by the aforementioned time, we'll release the beast on him... And on you. And, um... we can enter any home we want. And we will want... as wanting is our will on this fine night. Don't force us to hurt you. We don't want to kill our own. Please, just let us Purge. Toodle-oo, Sandins. [leaves]"

"[after Tommy dies] It's been two weeks since I lost him. I've been given my notice now. My first donation is in a month's time. I come here and imagine that this is the spot where everything I've lost since my childhood has washed out. I tell myself, if that were true, and I waited long enough, then a tiny figure would appear on the horizon across the field, and gradually get larger until I'd see it was Tommy. He'd wave and maybe call. I don't let the fantasy go beyond that. I can't let it. I remind myself I was lucky to have had any time with him at all. What I'm not sure about is if our lives have been so different from the lives of the people we save. We all complete. Maybe none of us really understand what we've lived through, or feel we've had enough time."

"The problem is you've been told and not told. That's what I've seen while I've been here. You've been told but none of you really understand. So I've decided I'll talk to you in a way that you will understand. Do you know what happens to children when they grow up? No, you don't, because nobody knows. They might grow up to become actors, move to America. Or they might work in supermarkets. Or teach in schools. They might become sportsmen or bus conductors or racing car drivers. They might do almost anything. But with you we do know. None of you will go to America. None of you will work in supermarkets. None of you will do anything except live the life that has already been set out for you. You will become adults, but only briefly. Before you are old, before you are even middle-aged, you will start to donate your vital organs. That's what you were created to do. And sometime around your third or fourth donation, your short life will be complete. [turns away] You have to know who you are, and what you are. It's the only way to lead decent lives."

"Miss Emily: We didn't have to look into your souls, we had to see if you had souls at all."

"Garret Dillahunt - Jesse Goldhar"

"Joe! Guess I put the gun in that kid's hand, huh? I guess everything comes back around. [under his breath] Like your goddamn ties."

"I'm from the future. You should go to China."

"Bruce Willis - Older (55-year old) Joe Simmons"

"[to Older Joe] This is my life now. I earned it. You had yours already. So why don't you do what old men do and die?"

"[voiceover] Then I saw it. I saw a mom who would die for her son; a man who would kill for his wife; a boy, angry and alone, laid out in front of him the bad path. I saw it. And the path was a circle, round and round. So I changed it. [kills self]"

"[to Young Joe] I don't want to talk about time travel because if we start talking about it then we're going to be here all day talking about it, making diagrams with straws."

"[voiceover, describing Abe] This man is from the future. He was sent back here by the mob, a one-way ticket, to run the Loopers. That's low effort, even for Abe. So to pass the time, he recruited some real muscle, the Gat Men, and now he runs the city. Any other city, that'd be impressive."

"A man from the future runs free long enough, you know, this time travel shit just fries your brain like an egg."
