Luke Skywalker pouches
Look, I can't get involved. I've got work to do. It's not that I like
the Empire; I hate it, but there's nothing I can do about it right
now... It's all such a long way from here.

R2-D2
Artoo says that the chances of survival are 725 to 1. Actually Artoo has
been known to make mistakes... from time to time... Oh dear...
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
One Ring to rule them all
It began with the forging of the Great Rings. Three were given to the
Elves, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven to the Dwarf
lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine
rings were gifted to the race of men, who, above all else, desire power.
But they were, all of them, deceived, for another Ring was made. In the
land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged
in secret a master Ring, to control all others. And into this Ring he
poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. One
Ring to rule them all.

I treasure my remark to my grandson who asked, "Grandpa, were you a hero
in the war?" Grandpa said, "No... but I served in a company of heroes".

Full Metal Jacket (1987)
7.62mm full metal jacket round
If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will
be a weapon. You will be a minister of death praying for war. But until
that day you are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You
are not even human fucking beings. You are nothing but unorganized
grabastic pieces of amphibian shit! Because I am hard, you will not like
me. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn. I am hard but I
am fair. There is no racial bigotry here. I do not look down on niggers,
kikes, wops or greasers. Here you are all equally worthless. And my
orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve
in my beloved Corps. Do you maggots understand that?
The Da Vinci Code (2006)
The cryptex
There was every orb conceivable on that tomb except one: The orb which
fell from the heavens and inspired Newtons life's work. Work that
incurred the wrath of the church until his dying day. A-P-P-L-E. Apple.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
The Holy Grail
Now, he who finds the Grail must face 3 challenges. First, is the path
of God: Only the penitent man shall pass. Second, is the word of God:
Only in the footsteps of God, shall he proceed. Last is the breath of
God: Only in a leap from the lion's head shall he prove his worth.
The Grail tablet
...who drinks the water I shall give him, says the Lord, will have a spring inside him welling up for eternal life. Let them bring me to your holy mountain in the place where you dwell. Across the desert and through the mountain to the Canyon of the Crescent Moon, to the Temple where the cup that - where the cup that holds the blood of Jesus Christ resides forever.

We prayed to Shiva to help us find the stone. It was Shiva who made you
fall from sky. So you will go to Pankot Palace... and find Shivalinga...
and bring back to us. Bring back to us. Bring back to us.

Chachapoyan Goddess of Fertility idol
Throw me the idol. No time to argue! Throw me idol, I'll throw you the whip!
The Exorcist (1973)
Assyrian demon Pazuzu sculpture
Especially important is the warning to avoid conversations with the
demon. We may ask what is relevant but anything beyond that is
dangerous. He is a liar. The demon is a liar. He will lie to confuse us.
But he will also mix lies with the truth to attack us. The attack is
psychological, Damien, and powerful. So don't listen to him. Remember
that - do not listen.
Hellraiser (1987)
Lemarchand's puzzle box
You solved the box, we came. Now you must come with us, taste our pleasures.
The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Dr. lecter's mouthpiece
I am going to show you why we insist on such precautions. On the evening
of July 8th, 1981, he complained of chest pains and was taken to the
dispensary. His mouthpiece and restraints were removed for an EKG. When
the nurse leaned over him, he did this to her.
The doctors managed to reset her jaw more or less. Saved one of her
eyes. His pulse never got above 85, even when he ate her tongue.

Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot.
I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot...

Vigo the Carpathian painting
As I explained before, we think the spirit of a 17th century Moldavian tyrant is alive and well in a painting at the Manhattan Museum of Art.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
Cursed Aztec gold coin
Buried in the island of the dead that which cannot be found except by those who already knows where it is. Find it, we did. And there be the chest... and inside, be the gold. We took them all! Spent 'em, traded 'em and fritted 'em away, for drink and food and pleasurable company. But the more we gave them away, the more we came to realize. The drink would not satisfy, food turned to ash in our mouths, nor the company in the world would harm or slake our lust. We are cursed men, Miss Turner. Compelled by greed, we were. But now, we are consumed by it.
