The Book of Eli
Eli: "You know what's the good thing about no soap? You can smell a hijacker from a mile away."
Hijack Leader: (as hijackers come out of hiding) "I am impressed, this man can smell us from thirty feet away, now what's that say about our hygiene! (to Eli) What's in the bag?"
Eli: "What bag?"
Hijack Leader: "You got a gun.. he's got a gun.. tip it on the ground."
Eli: "I can't do that."
Hijack Leader: "This guy's a fucking genius... Drop the fucking bag on the ground! Are you listening to me?" (taps Eli on the side of the shoulder)
Eli: "Yeah. Are you listening to me? Touch me with that hand again and you're not getting it back."
Hijack Leader: (laughs and goes to touch Eli again, Eli cuts off his hand with his machete/sword leaving him cradling a blood gushing wrist) "He cut off my hand!! What are you standing around for!! Kiss Him!"
Hijacker: "What'd he say?"
Eli: "He's in shock. I think he meant 'Kill Him'."
Solara: "What was it like before?"
Eli: "People had more than they needed. People didn't know what was precious and what wasn't. People threw away things they kill each other for now."
Carnegie: "And who are you?"
Eli: "Nobody."
Carnegie: "Oh, I doubt that. The men you killed in my bar, now they were nobody."
Carnegie: "I need that book. I want that book. I want you to stay but if you make me have to choose I'll kill you and take that book."
Eli: "Why? Why do you want it?"
Carnegie: "I grew up with that book. I know its power."
Carnegie: "Put a crew together, we're going after 'em."
Redridge: "For a fuckin' book?"
Carnegie: "IT'S NOT A FUCKIN' BOOK! IT'S A WEAPON. A weapon aimed right at the hearts and minds of the weak and the desperate. It will give us control of them. If we want to rule more than one small, fuckin' town, we have to have it. People will come from all over, they'll do exactly what I tell 'em if the words are from the book. It's happened before and it'll happen again. All we need is that book."
Solara: "You know, you say you've been walking for thirty years, right?"
Eli: "Right."
Solara: "Have you ever thought that maybe you were lost?"
Eli: "Nope."
Solara: "Well, how do you know that you're walking in the right direction?"
Eli: "I walk by faith, not by sight."
Solara: (sighs) "What does that mean?"
Eli: "It means that you know something even if you don't know something."
Solara: "That doesn't make any sense."
Eli: "It doesn't have to make sense. It's faith. It's the flower of light in the field of darkness that's giving me the strength to carry on. You understand?"
Solara: "Is that from your book?"
Eli: "No, it's, uh, Johnny Cash, Live at Folsom Prison."
Eli: "You know what's the good thing about no soap? You can smell a hijacker from a mile away."
