Sextus Quotes in Stardust (2007)

[deleted scene - the ghosts of Secundus, Quartus, and Sextus are standing in the crater next to an unconcious Yvaine]

Secundus: With all due respect to father, that window thing was a rotten trick!

Sextus: Excuse me? At least you had a chance! Quartus murdered me while I was asleep!

Quartus: How many times do I have to tell you? It was Septimus!

[the ghost of Tertius, recently poisoned, appears]

Quartus: [to Tertius] Don't speak - don't say a word! Let me guess; Septimus?

Tertius: [nods]

Sextus: Poison?

Tertius: [shrugs, then notices the stone lying next to Yvaine] The stone!

[tries to pick it up and fails]

Tertius: I can touch it! I can feel it, I just can't *shift* it! It's like it's too heavy...

[looks up at his brothers, tearfully]

Tertius: You look like a bunch of FREAKS!

Secundus: Hold on... there are five of us now! We could do it together!

Quintus: We *tried* it before - it didn't work!

Secundus: But Tertius wasn't here, there were only four of us! Come on!

[all of them gather around the stone and grab it, attempting to lift it - unbeknownst to them, Yvaine sits up]

Tertius, Secundus, Quartus, Sextus, Quintus: Come on... yes, yes... come on!

[all groan and give up]

Tertius, Secundus, Quartus, Sextus, Quintus: No...

[Yvaine sees the stone and goes to pick it up]

Tertius, Secundus, Quartus, Sextus, Quintus: No, no, no, no! No, no, no, no, no, no! N -

[she picks it up]

Tertius, Secundus, Quartus, Sextus, Quintus: Awww...

[Yvaine fastens it around her neck]

Tertius, Secundus, Quartus, Sextus, Quintus: No! Nononononono! Please! Aw.

Quartus: [sighing] Well done, everyone.

[all of them sigh and collapse - Tertius lies down in Quintus' lap]

Quartus: No, you were right, though - it was definately better with five of us.

[beat]

Quartus: I mean, that's the closest we've come to actually *moving* anything!

[Tertius, in Quintis' lap, looks irritated. Quintus looks down at him]

Quintus: [soothingly] Shhh...

Sextus: You can break a man's skull, you can arrest him, you can throw him into a dungeon. But how do you control what's up here?

[taps his head]

Sextus: How do you fight an idea?

Sextus: There's this wild man in the desert named John who drowns people in water.

Centurion: There's a Jew outside. He wants to see the Tribune Messala.

Messala: I assume he has a name.

Centurion: [sneeringly] He says he's a prince, Prince Judah Ben-Hur.

Messala: [loud and quickly] Then treat him like one!

[quietly]

Messala: Tell him I'll join him.

[the centurion starts to leave, and Messala shouts again]

Messala: CENTURION!

[Again quietly]

Messala: This was his country before it was ours. Don't forget that.

Centurion: Yes, Tribune.

[the centurion then goes out]

Sextus: That was very wise. This Judah Ben-Hur is the son of one of the wealthiest families in Judea.
