Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)
Actors
Plot
Oscar Diggs ('James Franco' (qv)), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz. At first he thinks he's hit the jackpot-fame and fortune are his for the taking. That all changes, however, when he meets three witches, Theodora ('Mila Kunis' (qv)), Evanora ('Rachel Weisz' (qv)), and Glinda ('Michelle Williams (I)' (qv)), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity-and even a bit of wizardry-Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.

Corelli: Look on the bright side, though. We get our names in the papers, right? We're gonna be real serious on t.v. Hey, you know, with your good looks, maybe you get to ball an anchor lady.::Murphy: Yeah?::Corelli: Yeah.::Murphy: Not with my luck. If it was raining anchor ladies, I'd get hit with Walter Cronkite.

Connolly: Your Precinct has the worst absentee record in the city, the most disability claims, the highest percentage of men on sick call, the least convictions per arrest, and you want me to believe there are no men on the take!::Dugan: So they toss a numbers runner for a couple of dollars, turn a pimp upside down for a little loose change, there's nobody getting rich up here.::Connolly: There's nobody doing anything up here that I can see, these men aren't motivated::Dugan: Motivated ? This is Siberia, Connolly. 65% of the men up here have been transferred. We've got the connivers, the slobs, the shirkers, Guys who beat up the wrong Guinea.

Sure let the politicians and everyone else off the hook, Blame Dugan, that's the easy way. You got a 40-block area with 70,000 people packed in like sardines smelling each others' farts living like cockroaches, and that's Dugan's fault. You got the lowest income per capita, the highest rate of unemployment in the city and that's my fault! Why aren't I out there getting all these people jobs? Largest proportion of non-English speaking population in the city! Dugan's fault, why aren't he out there teaching them to speak English? 4% Spanish speaking cops on the force!

Morgan: Hey Murph, what do you think of that son of a bitch, huh? Connolly. Captain Connolly. That clown they dress up as a cop. That fuckin' banana. I mean, who does he think he's playin' with, some chickenshit rookie? I've been on the job too long, you know what I mean? Yeah, they might get me for coopin'. Or for scorin' a little nookie on the side. Or, maybe even shakin' down a bodega. I never said I was the smartest guy in the world, but when he comes up with this phony witness shit...::Murphy: They *got* witnesses, Einstein.::Morgan: Yeah, deaf and dumb ones, right?::Murphy: Real live ones!

A-Number One police work... Poor kid wasn't botherin' nobody, and you throw him off the roof!::Morgan: You shut the fuck up!::Murphy: You fuckin' creep, I wish I was man enough to turn you in!
Connolly: Any information from the street so far?::Dacey: Are you kidding? Any place else a guy sees a cop get killed, he runs to the phone, here the doors close. Right now there could be five people who know who did this, in a few hours maybe ten maybe more but not us. Up here Captain, cops are like husbands, they're always the last to know.
Theresa: Andy?::Corelli: [sleepily] Hmm?::Theresa: I'm glad we did it.::Corelli: Glad we did what?::Theresa: Wise guy... [pauses, then] Andy?::Corelli: [sleepily] Hmm?::Theresa: Did you enjoy it?::Corelli: [smiles] Yeah, it was all right...::Theresa: It was just all right?::Corelli: Well, there's wasn't enough pepperoni on it, and the anchovies tasted like shoe leather.::Theresa: I didn't mean the pizza, I meant me.::Corelli: [turns over to face her] Oh, you?
