C'mon we can't forget the speech that Morpheus gave in Zion..


"WE ARE STILL HERE!!!!!!!!!"





Also I agree with Pulp Fiction, several badass speeches in there.

Someone mentioned Ed Norton up above...

You should do that speech he gives in American History X before they go and trash the convenience stores. That might ruffle some feathers....
"His Will Was Set, And Only Death Would Break It"

"None knows what the new day shall bring him"

Well, if poems are allowed then here's an obvious classic:
Originally posted by Rudyard Kipling:
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master,
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

i have a dream...
I'm proud of my life and the things that I have done, proud of myself and the loner I've become.

I think it's because the video is sped up...
Looks like we're not going down after all, so nevermind.

Enter stranger but take heed
of what awaits the sin of greed
for those who take but do not earn
must pay dearly in their turn
So if you seek beneath our floors
a treasure that was never yours
thief you have been warned beware
of finding more than treasure there

wow. I AM A TOTAL DWEEB
Fincham: Where are you going?
Me: I have no idea
Fincham: I meant where are you sitting. This wasn't an existential question.
