Movie Trivia for Final Destination
Memorable Movie Quotes
Bludworth: In death there are no accidents, no coincidences, no mishaps, and no escapes.
Tod Waggner: We say that the hour of death cannot be forecast. But when we say this, we imagine that the hour is placed in an obscure and distant future. It never occurs to us that it has any connection with the day already begun, or that death could arrive this same afternoon – this afternoon which is so certain, and which has every hour filled in advance.
Terry: I’m moving on, Carter. And if you want to waste your life beating the shit out of Alex every time you see him then you can just drop fucking dead!
Bludworth: What you have to realize is that we’re just a mouse that a cat has by the tail, every single move we make from the mundane to the monumental, the red light that we stop at or run, the people we have sex with or won’t with us, the airplanes that we ride or walk out of, it’s all part of Death’s sadistic design. Leading to the grave.
Bludworth: By walking off the plane you cheated Death. You have to figure out when it’s coming back at you.
