Boys Quotes
Sylvia Llewelyn Davies: Jimmy, the operations were one thing, but if you start paying for the boys to go to school, well, I don't think Arthur could bear that.
J.M. Barrie: Do you know how much money Peter Pan has made me since it first opened?
Sylvia Llewelyn Davies: What has that got to do with it?
J.M. Barrie: Just over half a million pounds, not including America. Where would Peter Pan be if it weren't for George? Don't you think he deserves his share of the spoils?
Sylvia Llewelyn Davies: But what about the others? We can't just send George to Eton. It wouldn't be fair on the others.
J.M. Barrie: Don't worry. I'll get my money's worth out of them yet.
Michael: Dark and sinister man, have at thee!

The Scientist: [plays organ music in church]
Bubby: Jesus can see everything I do... and he's going to beat me brainless!
The Scientist: Come down. [Scene change; they are in a factory]
The Scientist: You see, no one's going to help you Bubby, because there isn't anybody out there to do it. No one. We're all just complicated arrangements of atoms and subatomic particles - we don't live. But our atoms do move about in such a way as to give us identity and consciousness. We don't die; our atoms just rearrange themselves. There is no God. There can be no God; it's ridiculous to think in terms of a superior being. An inferior being, maybe, because we, we who don't even exist, we arrange our lives with more order and harmony than God ever arranged the earth. We measure; we plot; we create wonderful new things. We are the architects of our own existence. What a lunatic concept to bow down before a God who slaughters millions of innocent children, slowly and agonizingly starves them to death, beats them, tortures them, rejects them. What folly to even think that we should not insult such a God, damn him, think him out of existence. It is our duty to think God out of existence. It is our duty to insult him. **** you, God! Strike me down if you dare, you tyrant, you non-existent fraud! It is the duty of all human beings to think God out of existence. Then we have a future. Because then - and only then - do we take full responsibility for who we are. And that's what you must do, Bubby: think God out of existence; take responsibility for who you are.
