"Read the newspaper. What does it say? All bad. It's all bad. People have forgotten what life is all about. They've forgotten what it is to be alive. They need to be reminded. They need to be reminded of what they have and what they can lose. What I feel is the joy of life, the gift of life, the freedom of life, the wonderment of life!"

"Robert De Niro - Leonard Lowe"

"When my son was born healthy, I never asked why. Why was I so lucky? What did I do to deserve this perfect child, this perfect life? But when he got sick, you can bet I asked why! I demanded to know why! Why was this happening?"

"Hello. My name is Leonard Lowe. It has been explained to me that I've been away for quite some time. I'm back."

"I can't imagine being older than 22. I've no experience at it. I know it's not 1926. I just need it to be."

"Awkward turtles make weird babies."

"I'm sorry, if you were right, I would agree with you."

"What we do know is that, as the chemical window closed, another awakening took place; that the human spirit is more powerful than any drug and that is what needs to be nourished: with work, play, friendship, family. These are the things that matter. This is what we'd forgotten. The simplest things."

"I'm not very good with people. I like them. I wish I could say I had more than a rudimentary understanding of them. Maybe if they were less unpredictable..."

"His gaze is from the passing of bars so exhausted, that it doesn't hold a thing anymore. For him, it's as if there were thousands of bars and behind the thousands of bars no world. The sure stride of lithe, powerful steps, that around the smallest of circles turns, is like a dance of pure energy about a center, in which a great will stands numbed. Only occasionally, without a sound, do the covers of the eyes slide open-. An image rushes in, goes through the tensed silence of the frame- only to vanish, forever, in the heart."

"Gar: [realizing Rusty is having a nervous breakdown on the phone] What? Rusty? Ah, shit! [hangs up the phone and leaves the auto garage] It's Rusty."

"[repeated line] Make myself well."

"[poem] These things are good: ice cream and cake, a ride on a Harley, seeing monkeys on a tree, the rain on my tongue, and the sun shining on my face. These things are a drag: dust in my hair, holes in my shoes, no money in my pocket, and the sun shining on my face."

"Don't worry, Mr. Simms. I look weird, but otherwise I'm real normal. Everything will be cool. Thanks a lot. See you next week."

"Sometimes the most unlikely people become heroes."

"Evelyn: [repeated line] Florence."

"They told 16-year-old Rocky Dennis he could never be like everyone else. So he was determined to be better."

"[spending a day with his biker "family" at an amusement park] Hey, Ben, look at this. [he's looking in a funhouse mirror that instead of distorting his face, makes it look like everyone else's]"

"[to some students who make fun of his face] Hey, what's the matter? Haven't you guys ever seen anybody from the planet Vultern before? Beep-beep-beep! Beep-beep-beep!"

"[asked about where is Rocky's true father] Why do you try and call the Pope while you're at it? At least he would be easier to reach."

"[to the doctor who insisted speaking to Rusty] You know, for 12 years, I've been listening to you guys' bullshit. First you told me that he was gonna be retarded, then you told me that he was gonna be blind and deaf. If I dug his grave every time one of you geniuses told me he was gonna die, I would be eating fuckin' chop suey in China by now! Anything else?"

"[her final line, after finding out that Rocky has passed away in his sleep and she re-tacks his map of Europe] Now you can go anywhere you want, baby."

"Marco Hofschneider - M'Ling"

"Mark Dacascos - Lo-Mai"

"Miguel López - Waggdi"

"Fairuza Balk - Aissa"

"Temuera Morrison - Azazello"

"Nelson de la Rosa - Majai"

"David Thewlis - Edward Douglas"

"William Hootkins - Kiril"

"On a remote ISLAND in the South Pacific, the balance OF nature has been upset by the experiments of DR. MOREAU... with the key of science he's unlocked the gates of hell."

"Daniel Rigney - Hyena-Swine"

"H. G. Wells' most terrifying creation about the line that separates man from beast, and the notorious doctor who dared to cross it."

"Peter Elliott - Assassimon"

"Nature's law has been broken."

"Ron Perlman - Sayer of the Law"

"The gates of hell are unlocked."

"Marlon Brando - Dr. Moreau"

"The one part that’s become very clear to me is that Moreau’s going to be funded by corporate money, rather than being an isolated, obsessive individual. The issue of the beast people being property – that they’re essentially a copyright of the company that’s made them, and aren’t free to have their own lives – amused me."

"The truth of the matter is The Island tends to come around every time the Planet of the Apes films come back in business. And it’s the grandfather of all kinds of movies, including Jurassic Park. But the original remains a tough nut to crack – mostly because of its themes, which could never be properly explored in a family movie. At its core it has a Darwinist message, which is at odds with the regular American summer movies, and its view of the impossibility of creating a utopian society is a little dark, even for science-fiction."

"By the time Brando had arrived [...] no one was willing to say no to anything, which is why Brando wears an ice bucket on his head in one scene"

"Val Kilmer - Dr. Montgomery"

"[Marlon would] be in the middle of a scene and suddenly he'd be picking up police messages and would repeat, `There's a robbery at Woolworths'."

"We are NOT men!"

"There is no pain, there is no law!"

"It is a hard way, the way of being a man. Sooner or later we all want a thing that is bad. To walk on all fours. To suck up drink from a stream. To jabber, instead of saying the words. To go snuffling at the earth, and to claw on the bark of trees. To eat flesh, or fish. To make love to more than one, every which way. These are all bad things. These are not the things that men do. But we are men, are we not? We are men because the Father has made us men!"
