Demolition Man (film)

"When a man like Phoenix has a gun to your head, ten seconds is nine and a half seconds longer than you live."

"[Upon learning that commercial jingles are now considered popular music] Somebody put me back in the fridge."

"[explaining to Spartan why the Scraps live underground] You see, according to Cocteau's plan, I'm the enemy. Because I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy who likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and buckets of cheese, okay? I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I wanna run through the streets naked with green Jell-O all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I've seen the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Mayer Wiener." You live up top, you live Cocteau's way: what he wants, when he wants, how he wants. Your other choice: come down here... and maybe starve to death."

"The 21st Century's most dangerous cop. The 21st Century's most ruthless criminal."

"The future isn't big enough for the both of them."

"The battle begins October 4th."

"John Spartan - the world's most dangerous cop. Simon Phoenix - the world's most ruthless criminal. The 21st Century wasn't prepared for either of them...and it isn't big enough for both of them."

"[About Demolition Man's predictions of the future:] What is completely spot on [...] is the idea that laws have shifted away from the protection of individual rights and any sane theory of justice towards controlling people's behavior for the 'greater good', as envisioned by this society's elites."
