    Johnny Fontane: [discussing his problems] I don't know what to do, Godfather. My set is weak, it's weak. Anyway, if I had this PSA 10 common, it puts me right back on top, you know. But this... this man out there. He won't give it to me, the head of the leader board.

    Don Corleone: What's his name?

    Johnny Fontane: The Rocky Mountain Collection. He said there's no chance, no chance...

    [Meanwhile, Hagen finds Sonny and summons him]

    Johnny Fontane: A month ago he bought this 52 Mantle. It's the card for me. Oh, Godfather, I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do...

    [All of a sudden, Don Corleone rises from his chair and gives Fontane a savage shake]

    Don Corleone: YOU CAN ACT LIKE A MAN!

    [gives a quick slap to Fontane]

    Don Corleone: What's the matter with you? Is this what you've become, a Hollywood finocchio who cries like a woman and collects commons? "Oh, what do I do? What do I do?" What is that nonsense? Ridiculous!

    Vincent Hanna: My life's a disaster zone. I got a stepdaughter so messed up because her real father's this large-type a$Zhole. I got a wife, we're passing each other on the down-slope of a marriage - my third - because I spend all my time chasing commons. That's my life.

    Neil McCauley: A guy told me one time, "Don't let yourself get attached to any card you are not willing to sell in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner."

    Patrick Bateman: He was into that whole Registry thing.
    Donald Kimball: Registry thing?
    Patrick Bateman: Yeah, Registry thing.
    Donald Kimball: What whole Registry thing?
    Patrick Bateman: Well, for one thing, I think he was probably a closet homosexual who had a lot of commons. That whole Registry thing.

    Patrick Bateman: New card. What do you think?
    Craig McDermott: Whoa-ho. Very nice. Look at that.
    Patrick Bateman: Picked them up from the post office yesterday.
    David Van Patten: Good coloring.
    Patrick Bateman: That's 50/50. And there's zero tilt.
    David Van Patten: It's very cool, Bateman, but that's nothing. Those are commons. Look at this.
    Timothy Bryce: That is really nice.
    David Van Patten: A Bird Magic with no black line. What do you think?
    Patrick Bateman: Nice.
    Timothy Bryce: Jesus. That is really super. How'd a nitwit like you get so tasteful?
    Patrick Bateman: [Thinking] I can't believe that Bryce prefers Van Patten's card to mine.
    Timothy Bryce: But wait. You ain't seen nothin' yet. 54 Wilson Franks Williams. Straight top cut. Not trimmed.
    Patrick Bateman: Impressive. Very nice.
    David Van Patten: Hmm.
    Patrick Bateman: Let's see Paul Allen's Mantle 311.
    Patrick Bateman: [Thinking] Look at that blue coloring. The tastefulness of it. Oh, my God. It even has perfect centering.
    Luis Carruthers: Is something wrong, Patrick? You're sweating.

    Matrix: Where is the cello box, Sully?
    Sully: Kiss my arse...
    Matrix: [pushes him] I can't hear you!
    Sully: I'll say it a little louder: get fuzznoodled!
    Matrix: Your loyalty is very touching (carries him to the edge of a cliff) but it is not the most important thing in your life right now! But what is important is GRAVITY. And I have to remind you, Sully (Pats the arm he holds Sully with) this is my weak arm!
    Sully: You can't kill me, Matrix! You need me to find your collection!
    Matrix: Where is it?
    Sully: I don't know! But CPAMIKE knows! I'll take you where I'm supposed to meet him!
    Matrix: But you won't.
    Sully: Why not?
    Matrix: (Dangles key in front of Sully's face) Because I already know. (Sully whimpers) Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last?
    Sully: That's right Matrix, you did!
    Matrix: I lied. (Drops Sully)
    Sully: UUUUHLLLUUUUAAAALLLLAAAALLLLAHHHHH!!!!...

    The Terminator: [picking up guns] The 12-gauge auto-loader.
    Pawn Shop Clerk: That's Italian. You can go pump or auto.
    [Hands the Terminator the pump action shotgun]
    The Terminator: The 51 Bowman Mantle, in PSA 8.
    Pawn Shop Clerk: [Hands the Terminator the Mick] This is brand new; we just got this in. That's a good card. Anything else?
    The Terminator: Phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range. And a GEM MT 10 1975 Mini Claudell Washington #647.
    Pawn Shop Clerk: Hey, just what you see, pal!
    The Terminator: [Looks around] The Uzi nine millimeter. And the centered Rose Rookie.
    Pawn Shop Clerk: You know your cards, buddy. Any one of these is ideal for a collection. So uh, which will it be?
    The Terminator: [Pointing the 12-gage shotgun towards the door] All.
    Pawn Shop Clerk: I may close early today. There's a 15-day wait until checks clear but if you PayPal gift me you can take those right now.
    [Takes out forms]
    Pawn Shop Clerk: And you have to fill these out too.
    [Sees the terminator load his 12-gage shotgun]
    Pawn Shop Clerk: You can't do that.
    The Terminator: Wrong!
    [the Termiator shoots the clerk]

    Kyle Reese: Listen, and understand. That Registry is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

    Kyle Reese: The 600 series had a cheap reseal. We spotted them easy, but these packs are new. They look good... roller marks, folds, serial number on the pack, everything. Very hard to spot. I had to wait till they moved on ebay before I could zero them.
    Sarah Connor: Look... I am not stupid, you know. They cannot make fake packs like that yet.
    Kyle Reese: Not yet. Not for about 40 years.
    Sarah Connor: Are you saying it's from the future?
    Kyle Reese: One possible future. From your point of view... I don't know tech stuff.
    Sarah Connor: Then you're from the future, too. Is that right?
    Kyle Reese: Right.
    Sarah Connor: Right.
