Romilly Quotes in Interstellar (2014)

Cooper: Everybody ready to say goodbye to our solar system?

Romilly: To our galaxy.

Romilly: Of all these anomalies, the most significant is this: out near Saturn, a disturbance of space-time.

Cooper: It's a wormhole?

Romilly: Appeared 48 years ago.

Cooper: And, it leads where?

Dr. Brand: Another galaxy.

Cooper: A wormhole's not a naturally occurring phenomenon...

Brand: Someone placed it there.

Cooper: "They."

Brand: And whoever they are, they appear to be looking out for us. That wormhole, lets us travel to other stars. Came along right as we needed it.

Doyle: They've put potentially habitable worlds right within our reach. Twelve, in fact, from our initial probes.

Cooper: You send probes into that?

Doyle: Mm-hm.

Dr. Brand: We sent *people* into it. Ten years ago.

Cooper: The Lazarus missions.

Dr. Brand: Twelve possible worlds, twelve Ranger launches, carrying the bravest humans ever to live. Led by the remarkable Dr. Mann.

Doyle: Each person's landing pod had enough life support for two years, but they could use hibernation to stretch that, making observations on organics over a decade or more. Their mission was to assess their world, and if it showed potential, then they could send out a signal, bed down for the long nap, wait to be rescued.

Cooper: And what if the world didn't show promise?

Doyle: Hence the bravery.

[after Cooper and Brand return to the Endurance 23 years later]

Brand: Why didn't you sleep?

Romilly: Oh, I had a couple of stretches. I stopped believing you were coming back. Something seemed wrong about dreaming my life away.

[as they pass through the wormhole a space-time distortion appears inside of the Endurance]

Romilly: What is that?

Brand: I think it's them.

[she reaches toward the distortion]

Doyle: Don't, don't!

[Brand touches the distortion; the Endurance exits the wormhole and space returns to normal]

Romilly: What was that?

Brand: [grinning] First handshake.

Brand: [reuniting with Romilly, after just a few hours on Miller's planet, deep in Gargantua's gravity well] Hello, Rom.

Romilly: I've waited years.

Cooper: How... How many years?

Romilly: By now it must be...

TARS: It's twenty-three years, four months, eight days.

Romilly: Doyle?

[Cooper stares at floor, walks past]

Brand: I thought I was prepared. I knew the theory, I... Reality's different.

Romilly: Miller?

Brand: There's nothing here for us.

[Booting up KIPP]

Romilly: This... data makes no sense.

TARS: Sir, I'm having trouble completing the bootup.

Romilly: I don't understand.

TARS: There is a security lockout, sir, it requires a person to access function. It's all yours, sir.

[Romilly accesses archives]

Romilly: [confused] This data makes no sense.

Cooper: [lying on the floor of the Ranger after the fight with Mann] I'm sorry.

Brand: What?

Cooper: Mann... was lying! Go, go! Romilly!

Brand: [transmitting] Romilly! Romilly, do you read me, Romilly? Romilly!

[Romilly puts in his ear piece]

TARS: [realizing that KIPP has been booby-trapped] Step back professor! STEP BACK!

[Mann's landing pod explodes with TARS and Romilly inside]
