INTERSTELLAR (2014) SENTENCE STARTERS
â I thought you were the ghost. â
â You got to figure it out. I'm not always gonna be here to help you. â
â Well, I guess that answers the old "if I asked you to drive off a cliff" scenario. â
â It's like we've forgotten who we are. Explorers, pioneers, not caretakers. â
â You're the one who doesn't belong. Born 40 years too late, or 40 years too early. â
â We used to look up in the sky and wonder at our place in the stars. Now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt. â
â You were good at something and you never got a chance to do anything with it. I'm sorry. â
â Don't make me take you down again. Sit down! â
â It's pretty clear you don't want any visitors. So why don't you just let us back up from your fence and we'll be on our way? Huh? â
â You're sitting in the best-kept secret in the world. Nobody stumbles in here. Nobody stumbles out. â
â I hesitate to term it supernatural, but it definitely wasn't scientific. â
â We'll find a way. We always have. â
â Okay, now you need to tell me what your plan is to save the world. â
â We're not meant to save the world. We're meant to leave it. â
â You're asking me to hang everything on an almost. â
â I'm asking you to trust me. â
â This world was never enough for you, was it? â
â Don't trust the right thing done for the wrong reason. â
â Mankind was born on Earth, it was never meant to die here. â
â We're just here to be memories for our kids. â
â Once you're a parent, you're the ghost of your children's future. â
â You have no idea when you're coming back. No idea at all! â
â Don't make me leave like this. Come on! Don't make me leave like this! â
â I love you. Forever. You hear me? I love you forever, and I'm coming back. â
â We're going to be spending a lot of time together. We should learn to talk. â
â Absolute honesty isn't always the most diplomatic, nor the safest form of communication with emotional beings. â
â We'll be waiting for you when you get back. A little older, a little wiser, but happy to see you. â
â You don't think nature can be evil? â
â Why are you whispering? They can't hear you. â
â This gets to me. This. Millimeters of aluminum, that's it, and then nothing out there for millions of miles won't kill us in seconds. â
â Everybody ready to say goodbye to our solar system? â
â You can't just think about your family. Now you have to think bigger. â
â I told you to leave me! Why didn't you? â
â One of us was thinking about the mission! â
â I was trying to do the right thing! â
â Oh, we are not prepared for this. â
â You eggheads have the survival skills of a Boy Scout troop. â
â Time is relative, okay? It can stretch and it can squeeze, but it can't run backwards, it just can't. â
â When you become a parent, one thing becomes really clear. And that is that you want to make sure your children feel safe. â
â I thought I was prepared. I knew the theory. Reality's different. â
â There's nothing here for us. â
â So it would be a real good time for you to come back. â
â I didn't mean to intrude. It's just that I've never seen you in here before. â
â I'm not afraid of death. I'm afraid of time. â
â Are you calling my life's work nonsense? â
â Love isn't something we invented. It's observable, powerful. It has to mean something. â
â Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space. Maybe we should trust that, even if we can't understand it yet. â
â I let you all down. â
â Pray you never learn just how good it can be to see another face. â
â I hadn't a lot of hope to begin with, but after so long, I had none. â
â I just want to know if you left me here to die. I just have to know. â
â There are some things that aren't meant to be known. â
â We can care deeply, selflessly about those we know, but that empathy rarely extends beyond our line of sight. â
â Panic won't help. We just have to keep working, same as ever. â
â Before you get all teary, remember that as a robot I have to do anything you say. â
â A machine doesn't improvise well because you can't program a fear of death. Our survival instinct is our single greatest source of inspiration. â
â When I left Earth, I thought I was prepared to die. â
â Nothing worked out the way it was supposed to. â
â You fucking coward. â
â Listen, if you're not going to go, let your family go. Just save your family. â
â Dad's not coming back. He never was coming back. â
â You're gonna save everybody? â
â He left us here to die. â
â Don't judge me. You were never tested like I was. Few men have been. â
â You're feeling it, aren't you? The survival instinct. That's what drove me. it's what drives all of us. â
â I'm sorry, I can't watch you go through this. I'm sorry. I thought I could, but I can't. â
â The only way humans have ever figured out of getting somewhere is to leave something behind. â
â No, don't go. Don't go, you idiot. â
â They didn't bring us here to change the past. â
â I don't care who describes it, there is no way for it to be exaggerated. It was that bad. â
â Is this really what it was like? â
â I don't care much for this pretending we're back where we started. I want to know where we are. Where we're going. â
â Nobody believed me. But I knew you'd come back. â
â No parent should have to watch their own child die. â
