From Quora...What is the best-spoken line in any movie?
One of the best-spoken lines is one bitter truth of the world from the movie Shooter (2007). The scene in which Senator Meachum (Ned Beatty) and Colonel Johnson (Danny Glover) meet Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) and Memphis (Michael Pena) on an icy mountain top and eventually destroy evidence. On confrontation, Meachum replies:
"There are no sides. There's no Sunnis and Shiites. There's no Democrats and Republicans. There's only haves and have-nots."
And that’s one bitter truth of the world. Justice, freedom and all fancy words may exist and be even implemented to a certain level but in the larger picture, it’s only haves and have-nots. Whether it's one section of elite getting richer globally during pandemic while the middle and lower classes getting pushed down to poverty, the disparity in vaccination between developed and developing countries, or even dispensing of justice to a poor vs rich criminal, it all boils down to one thing. Haves and have-nots. Every society has their own criteria of haves and have-nots. For some it's the rich, for some it's the Brahamin, for some it's the skin color, for some it's the feudal lord or military personnel, king and their favorites, for some it's some other criteria or maybe some of them fused together but in the end it's all about two classes of people.
"Haves and have nots".
The bitter truth expressed in such a brilliant way in the movie's dialogues.
