8. 1987: "Read Sun Tzu, 'The Art of War': every battle is won before
it's ever fought. Think about it. You're not as smart as I
thought you were, buddy-buy. You ever wonder why fund managers
can't beat the S&P 500? Because they're sheep. And sheep get
slaughtered. I've been in this business since '69. Most of
these Harvard MBA types, they don't add up to dogshit."
10. 1992: "Starting with tonight's sit. Oh, have I got your
attention now? Good, 'cause we're adding a little something to
this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a
Cadillac Eldorado. Anybody want to see second prize? Second
prize, a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired."

* Game 8, Round 5 - Audio - Motivational Movie Scenes
This is a round on motivational movie scenes. The selections range
from moments of inspiring idealism to moments of harsh realism.
We will give you the year the movie was released. In the original
game you would have heard (usually) the lead actor giving his
speech, but here you'll have to settle for a transcript.
1. 2004: "Being perfect... is about being able to look your friends
in the eye, and know that you didn't let them down, because
you told them the truth. And that truth is, is that you did
everything that you could, there wasn't one more thing that you
could've done. Can you live in that moment, as best you can,
with clear eyes and love in your heart?"
2. 1986: "Forget about the crowds, the size of the school, their
fancy uniforms... and remember what got you here. Focus on
the fundamentals that we've gone over time and time again.
And most important, don't get caught up thinking about winning
or losing this game. If you put your effort and concentration
into playing to your potential, to be the best that you can be,
I don't care what the scoreboard says: at the end of the game,
in my book we're going to be winners!"
3. 1999: "You find out life's this game of inches. So's football.
Because in either game, life or football, the margin for error
is so small, I mean, one-half a step too late or too early, and
you don't quite make it. One-half second too slow, too fast,
you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are *everywhere*
around us."
"Hell, yeah!"
"They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second."
4. 2005 (lead actor, Samuel L. Jackson, is not speaking here):
"Our deepest fear's not that we are inadequate. Our deepest
fear's that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light,
not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small
does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about
shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were all meant to shine, as children do. It's not just in
some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."
Okay, that's enough sports.
5. 1989: "This play, it's this madman, with a stare that pounds
my brain."
"Oh, that's excellent. Now, give him action, make him do
something."
"His hands reach out and choke me."
"Wonderful, wonderful."
"And all the time he's mumbling."
"What's he mumbling?"
"Mumbling, 'Truth--Truth like a blanket that always leaves your
feet cold.'"
(Laughter)
"Forget them, forget them. The blanket, tell me about that
blanket."
"You--you--you push it, stretch it, it'll never be enough.
You kick at it, beat it, it'll never cover any of us. From the
moment we enter crying, to--to the moment we leave dying,
it'll just cover your face, as you wail and cry and scream."
6. 1940: "Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world
with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.
We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our
knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind.
We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery,
we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness
and gentleness. Without these qualities life will be violent,
and all will be lost."
7. 1939: "Because of just one plain simple rule: love thy neighbor.
And in this world today, full of hatred, a man who knows that
rule has a great trust. You know that rule, Mr. Payne, and I
loved you for it just as my father did. And you know that you
fight for the lost causes harder than for any others. Yes,
you even die for them... like a man we both knew."
8. 1987: "Read Sun Tzu, 'The Art of War': every battle is won before
it's ever fought. Think about it. You're not as smart as I
thought you were, buddy-buy. You ever wonder why fund managers
can't beat the S&P 500? Because they're sheep. And sheep get
slaughtered. I've been in this business since '69. Most of
these Harvard MBA types, they don't add up to dogshit."
9. 2014: "Don't know."
"Sure you do."
"The tempo?"
"Were you rushing or were you dragging?"
"I--I don't know."
"Start counting."
"5, 6, 7..."
"In four, dammit! Now look at me."
"1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4..."
"Now, was I rushing or was I dragging?"
"Don't know."
"Start again."
"1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4..."
"*Rushing* or *dragging*?"
"Rushing."
"So you *do* know the difference!"
10. 1992: "Starting with tonight's sit. Oh, have I got your
attention now? Good, 'cause we're adding a little something to
this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a
Cadillac Eldorado. Anybody want to see second prize? Second
prize, a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired."
