Mattel CEO: Women are at the foundation of this company! There was a female CEO in the 90s and then another one... at some point. So that's two right there!

Mattel CEO: I am the son of a mother, and the nephew of a female aunt. Some of my best friends... are Jewish!

Mattel CEO: No one rests until this doll is back in a box!

Ken: You guys aren't doing patriarchy very well.
Corporate Man: We're actually doing patriarchy very well
[lowers voice]
Corporate Man: ... we're just better at hiding it.

Narrator: So, Barbie left behind the pastels and plastics of Barbie Land for the pastels and plastics of Los Angeles.

Ken: Out there, I was somebody. And when I walked down the street... people respected me just for who I am. One lady, she even asked me for the time.
Ken: No way!
Ken: Way. And if it weren't for these technicalities like MBAs, medical degrees, and I don't know, swim lessons, I could have ruled that world. But I don't need any of those things here. Here, I'm just a dude. And you know what? That's enough.

Barbie: [in tears] I'm not pretty anymore!
Gloria: What? You're so pretty!
Barbie: I'm not stereotypical Barbie pretty!
Narrator: Note to the filmmakers: Margot Robbie is the wrong person to cast if you want to make this point.

Narrator: Well, the Kens have to start somewhere. And one day, the Kens will have as much power and influence in Barbie Land as women have in the Real World.

Tony: What kind of shit's that? Coffee, not sex.

Stephanie: Just coffee.

Stephanie: Hey look, where I work, the people are very remarkable. They're not like these Bay Ridge people at all.

Tony: You mean snobs instead of slobs, right?

Stephanie: What?

Tony: Nothing. Hey y'know Bay Ridge ain't the worst part of Brooklyn, you know what I'm talkin'... I mean it ain't like a hellhole or nothing.

Stephanie: Yeah well it ain't Manhattan...it isn't Manhattan. You have no idea how it changes. Y'know just right over there, right across the river, everything is different, completely different. It's beautiful, just beautiful! People are beautiful, offices are beautiful. Secretaries y'know they all shop at, ah, Bonwit Taylor [sic].

Tony: Oh yeah?

Stephanie: And like the lunch hours are beautiful, too. Like you know they'll give you like two hours for lunch to do something that's related.


Editor's note: I do not judge Stephanie for wishing to trade getting a crappy job where you punch a clock with a job where they actually let you take a two-hour lunch. Also, if you are older, you will have picked up from that scene that a man and a woman having lunch without it being romantic was rather new.

[during the Le Mans race]
Leo Beebe: I was thinking, Mr. Ford. Wouldn’t it be great if all three Fords lined up across the finish line at the exact same time? They’ll lined up and came home together. Ford, Ford, Ford.
Lee Iacocca: I don’t think we can actually do that, sir.
Leo Beebe: Why not?
Lee Iacocca: Miles is laps ahead, Leo. What would you have him do, slow down?
Leo Beebe: Yeah.

[referring to Ford]
Carroll Shelby: They want you to slow down.
Ken Miles: Run that by me again.
Carroll Shelby: They want you to slow down. You’re outshining their car, Ken. You’re four minutes up on McLaren. The Deuce wants the three Fords across the finish line, one, two, three, all together. They’re asking that you be a team player, and make that photograph happen for them.
Ken Miles: A photograph, that’s good. That is good!
Carroll Shelby: Ken, even if you tie for first, you’d still be the first man ever to win Sebring, Daytona, and Le Mans in the same year. You’ll have a triple crown.
Carroll Shelby: Look, I didn’t get… I haven’t been able to get you to follow an order since day one. Whatever you want to do is fine with me.
Ken Miles: My choice?
Carroll Shelby: Your choice.

[during the Le Mans race]
Leo Beebe: Bring him in, right now! He’s out of control! Now you bring him in, before he wrecks that car and we don’t finish! Bring him in, Shelby. Or I will get you banned from the SCCA and the FIA.
Carroll Shelby: Ken Miles is behind the wheel, Leo. That’s his car to the finish.

from Movie Quotes and More


ON THE TRACK
Miles in total control. On the Mulsanne straight, opens it up. The trees strobe. Miles goes faster. Faster.

IN THE LE MANS COMMITTEE
BEEBE: What the hell is he doing?
Beebe crosses to the phone. Dials furiously.

IN THE PIT. THE PHONE RINGS.
Carroll Smith crosses to answer. Shelby glares:
SHELBY: Do not answer that.

ON THE TRACK
Miles slingshots into the final straight at 232MPH. MILES is flying now. Man and machine as one...

IN THE CAR
Miles smiles and begins his final maneuver. Passing one, two, three, four, five cars..

IN THE PITS
Shelby watches as Miles navigates the hairpin. Remington stares at his stopwatch. Charlie looks over his shoulder.
CHARLIE: ...he’s gonna break his own record.
REMINGTON: Shut up.

ON SHELBY, CLOSE:
SHELBY: Wait for it. Wait for it. Hold hold.
(Then)
Now.

The landlord: He who signs a lease must pay rent. That's the law.
Max Bialystock: You miserable wretch! How dare you take the last penny out of a poor man's pocket?
The landlord: I have to. I'm a landlord.
Max Bialystock: [to God] Oh, Lord, hear my plea; destroy him! He maketh a blight on the land!
The landlord: [also to God] Don't listen to him; he's crazy.

Leo Bloom: Let's assume, just for the moment, that you are a dishonest man.
Max Bialystock: Assume away.

Max Bialystock: It's practically a love letter to Hitler!
Leo Bloom: This won't run a week.
Max Bialystock: A week?! Are you nuts? This play's gotta close on Page 4!

Max Bialystock: How could this happen? I was so careful. I picked the wrong play, the wrong director, the wrong cast. Where did I go right?

Reporter: And what, in the opinion of Your Highness, is the outlook for friendship among nations?
Princess Ann: I have every faith in it... as I have faith in relations between people.
Joe Bradley: May I say, speaking for my own... press service: we believe Your Highness's faith will not be unjustified.
Princess Ann: I am so glad to hear you say it.
Another reporter: Which of the cities visited did Your Highness enjoy the most?
General Provno: [prompting] Each, in its own way...
Princess Ann: Each, in its own way, was unforgettable. It would be difficult to — Rome! By all means, Rome. I will cherish my visit here in memory as long as I live.

Notes from The Pink Panther wiki:
A Shot in the Dark featuring Peter Sellers - Released less than a year after The Pink Panther. Clouseau returns to bumble his way through a murder investigation. This also marks the first appearance of both Herbert Lom's Charles Dreyfus and Burt Kwouk's Cato.

Chief Inspector Dreyfus: (praying) If someone has been murdered here... please let it be Clouseau, hm?

Dreyfus: Give me ten men like Clouseau and I could destroy the world.


(In trying to murder Clouseau with a car bomb, Dreyfus has just killed all the suspects in the case)

Dreyfus: (balefully) That was meant for you...
Clouseau: What do you mean, it was meant for me, Commissioner?
Dreyfus: A doorman, two customers, and a Cossack... And now, six more innocent people!
Clouseau: They were all murderers, except for Maurice, who was a blackmailer, Commissioner!
Dreyfus: Compared with you, they were all saints!
