JESSEP You want answers?! KAFFEE I want the truth. JESSEP You can't handle the truth! And nobody moves. JESSEP (continuing) Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. (beat) You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You want me there (boasting) We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. (beat) I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it. I'd prefer you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to. KAFFEE (quietly) Did you order the code red? JESSEP (beat) I did the job you sent me to do. KAFFEE Did you order the code red? JESSEP (pause) You're goddamn right I did. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j2F4VcBmeo

Paris, Texas How could anyone forget this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gd8FborsLNc&feature=related Here is just a piece of it... Travis: He thought if she never got jealous of him that she didn't really care about him. Jealousy was a sign of her love for him, and then one night, one night she told him that she was pregnant, she was about three or four months pregnant and he didn't even know and then suddenly everything changed, he stopped drinking, he got a steady job, he was convinced that she loved him now that she was carrying his child and he was going to dedicate himself to making a home for her. But a funny thing started to happen, he didn't even notice it at first, she started to change. From the day the baby was born, she began to get irritated with everything around her. She got mad at everything. Even the baby seemed to be an injustice to her. He kept trying to make everything all right for her. Buy her things. Take her out to dinner once a week. But nothing seemed to satisfy her. For two years he struggled to pull them back together like they were when they first met, but finally he knew that it was never going to work out. So he hit the bottle again. But this time it got... mean. This time, when he came home late at night, drunk, she wasn't worried about him, or jealous, she was just enraged. She accused him of holding her captive by making her have a baby. She told him that she dreamed about escaping. That was all she dreamed about: escape. She saw herself at night running naked down a highway, running across fields, running down riverbeds, always running. And always, just when she was about to get away, he'd be there. He would stop her somehow. He would just appear and stop her. And when she told him these dreams, he believed them. He knew she had to be stopped or she'd leave him forever. So he tied a cow bell to her ankle so he could hear her at night if she tried to get out of bed. But she learned how to muffle the bell by stuffing a sock into it, and inching her way out of the bed and into the night. He caught her one night when the sock fell out and he heard her trying to run to the highway. He caught her and dragged her back to the trailer, and tied her to the stove with his belt. He just left her there and went back to bed and lay there listening to her scream. And he listened to his son scream, and he was surprised at himself because he didn't feel anything anymore. All he wanted to do was... sleep. And for the first time, he wished he were far away. Lost in a deep, vast country where nobody knew him. Somewhere without language, or streets. He dreamed about this place without knowing its name. And when he woke up, he was on fire. There were blue flames burning the sheets of his bed. He ran through the flames toward the only two people he loved... but they were gone. His arms were burning, and he threw himself outside and rolled on the wet ground. Then he ran. He never looked back at the fire. He just ran. He ran until the sun came up and he couldn't run any further. And when the sun went down, he ran again. For five days he ran like this until every sign of man had disappeared.

This scene from Almost Famous. As the plane is going down, everyone comes clean and tells how they really feel. Of course, the plane doesn't actually crash. http://youtu.be/VKgS24IG3HY

A revelatory truth from Darth Vader to Luke Skywalker jumps to mind: "No, I am your father." Ends up that scene has been done a gazillion times, possibly more, here's a Lego version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh_dqkxLktA The other moment that comes to mind, way too gooey to be polite, and not a bit of insight into the human condition, or shifting course of plot, instead the dialogue serves to clarify the situation, the kind of clarity that sends a chill down (up?) your spine, Rorschach in Watchmen: "None of you seem to understand, I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with me." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cXx99MZSzo A cropped less-gooey version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MiqPQ1dVg4
