Athena Quotes in Clash of the Titans (1981)

[discussing Zeus' womanizing]

Thetis: So many women, and all these transformations and disguises he invents in order to seduce them. Sometimes a shower of gold, sometimes a bull or a swan. Why, once he even tried to ravish me disguised as a cuttlefish.

Hera: Did he succeed?

Thetis: Certainly not.

Athena: What did you do?

Thetis: Beat him at his own game. I simply turned myself into a shark.

[they laugh]

Athena: Do you want to know why you could never make me laugh.

Frank Walker: Why?

Athena: Because you're not funny.

Athena: Dreamers need to stick together... It's not programming, it's personal.

Athena: You made this yourself?

Nix: Athena, what are you doing here?

Athena: Did you, or didn't you?

Young Frank Walker: Uh, what?

Athena: Did you make this yourself?

Young Frank Walker: Yeah?

Athena: Why?

Young Frank Walker: I guess I got tired of waiting around for someone else to do it for me?

Frank Walker: Why now? Why her?

Athena: Because she hasn't given up.

Frank Walker: Now, you and I are gonna be on their watchlist but they may not have your facial recognition profile uploaded yet...

Casey Newton: May not?

Frank Walker: May not, so...

[pulls out a device]

Frank Walker: you walk over there, you take this, you tap them on the neck. If he's human, it knocks him right out.

Casey Newton: And if it's a robot?

Athena: [Frank then proceeds to whack Athena with the device] Hey!

Frank Walker: You'll just piss it off.

Young Frank Walker: Who are you?

Athena: I'm the future, Frank Walker.

Athena: There are things I need to tell you before the final... before the automated program kicks in. I'm a machine, I never thought that was bad until I saw your face when you found out I was.

Frank Walker: I always knew...

Athena: No you didn't...

Computer Voice: Systems failing. Activating last thoughts saved for Frank Walker.

[Voice-Over]

Athena: Log 15. September. 1965. Frank Walker is looking at me in a manner that is difficult to recognize. It seems imperative to explain to him that I'm an audio-animatronic...

Frank Walker: Athena...

Athena: ...But I'm concerned that he may be adversely affected when he finds out that I'm not human. He has potential. I don't want to damage it. He needs someone to believe in him and I am fulfilling that need. He's my top recruit. Log 24. October. 1965. I'm having unusual thoughts towards Frank Walker. I suspect a flaw in my empathy interface. I'm thinking I should report it... but I haven't. I cannot explain why. Log 78. April. 1984. Frank Walker has been banished by Governor Nix. He says he's lost hope and he holds me responsible for having given it to him in the first place. I do not understand this. He says I never will, because I do not feel anger... or disappointment... or love.

Computer Voice: End recording.

Athena: I was designed to find dreamers... I found you... and lost you. But I found her... Casey. Dreamers need to stick together. It's not programming, it's personal.

Frank Walker: There is still a receiver there?

Athena: Last I checked.

Frank Walker: How long ago was that?

Athena: 25 years ago. Roughly.

[Apollo, Starbuck and Boomer are destroying a minefield]

Colonel Tigh: It's working, Commander. They're clearing a path 100 maxims wide.

Athena: Now, *that* is precision flying.

Athena: Commander, we're picking up some attack signals between Purple and Orange Squadrons. We don't *have* Purple and Orange Squadrons.

Cmdr. Adama: Purple and Orange?

Colonel Tigh: Starbuck and Apollo?

Cmdr. Adama: Lord help them both!

Athena: What a creature is man, he would choose to cage himself so willingly?

Ian: Honey, by the way, we think you should go to college out of state.

Toula: Uh-huh.

Maria: What is that, reverse psychology?

[Smiles on Toula and Ian's face vanishes]

Athena: That never works.

Maria: That never works.

Paris: That never works.

Yianni: Ian, if you're gonna be in this family, I get you some earplugs because the Portokalos women, if they're not nagging someone... THEY DIE!

Toula Portokalos: Ah, you're in so much trouble when I tell my sister!

Athena: Tell me what?

Athena: I'm going to the Jewel. Listen, I'll get you some pantyhose.

Maria Portokalos: No queen size. They make me look fat.

Athena: [giving Ted a list of things they need] We need sea salt, a little bit of sea salt. Or kosher salt, if you have no sea salt. A bottle of spring water - French, not that Italian shit.

Kiva: Um, yes, and could I have some French fries?

Elspeth: Shut up, Kiva.

Athena: Some ginger and some raw meat. Liver, if you have it.

Kiva: I want fries, you stupid jerks with your dumb fucking ritual.

Athena: [kicks her] Shut up, you little shit!

Elspeth: Hey, don't talk to her that way.
