THE DA VINCI CODE (2006) PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue from the film, adjust as necessary

you say you hate history. nobody hates history. they hate their own histories.

we are who we protect, i think. what we stand up for.

that's why we study history... so we'll stop killing each other.

can you keep secrets? can you know a thing and never say it again?

how many have been murdered over this question?

if it's so important to you to stop us, then you're just going to have to shoot us.

understanding our past determines actively our ability to understand the present.

tonight, this will be our quest.

how would you know that?

you seem... uncomfortable.

you have me confused with someone else.

why would i try to run? i didn't do anything.

will you excuse me a moment?

i was supposed to have drinks with him earlier this evening.

i waited for over an hour.

i'm afraid the police arrived more quickly than i anticipated.

you must follow me, please. for your own safety.

you knew they were coming?

if you step inside, please. time is of the essence.

you have not been honest with me.

you will leave this house!

your ruse is pathetic.

will you just tell us what the hell it's for?

i've jammed my shoulder, i've been shot at... i'm bleeding.

if we are to get away from here, we must find another way.

you can start with him.

do not react to this message.

you must follow my directions very closely. you are in grave danger.

i could run them over.

i can pretty much remember what i see.

sorry for all the mystery, [name].

i'm into something here that i cannot understand.

you should be ashamed.

if you would close your eyes...

well, that's a bit strange, isn't it?

how many wine glasses are there on the table?

there's virtually no empirical proof.

that is what they want you to believe.

that's a common misunderstanding.

you are saying all this is real?

you are an angel.

i am a ghost.

have you ever heard those words before?

why are you asking these things?

i am the messenger of god.

every breath you take is a sin.

you will be hunted by angels.

you believe in god? your god doesn't forgive murderers. he burns them.

do you mock me?

we are betrayed.

did they find it? this buried treasure?

i've never heard about any of this.

this is an old wives' tale.

now you're a psychologist too?

what will you do?

it's a rudimentary phallus.

the only thing that matters is what you believe.

i thought i was going to die.

sometimes i wonder if i wasn't alone down there.

maybe human is divine.

thank you... for bringing me here.

the mind sees what it chooses to see.

do i owe you money?

care to open up for an old colleague?

first, a test of honor.

shall i serve coffee or tea?

what would you do?

maybe there is no proof.

surely such a travesty has never occurred.

your heart is true.

they are used to keep secrets.

you used me.

we've been dragged into a world of people who think this stuff is real.

do you trust this man? i hope you can.

i don't follow.

stop now. tell me where it is.

i don't know what you are talking about.

is it a secret you will die for?

well, i must say, you two are anything but dull.

forgive the intrusion.

i'm not sure how much help i'm gonna be here this evening.

funny, i don't even like history.

i've never seen much good come from looking to the past.

are you a god-fearing man?

you're acting like you lost your mind.

Old Man Shopkeep: You ever mount her?

Jaune: (Blinks) Excuse me?

Old Man Shopkeep: (Point to Beacon Tower) She is the symbol of Vale. Absolutely perfect.

Jaune: No, not perfect...

Jaune: But no less beautiful...

"...He unhurriedly walks to where your garnet rosary lies on the ground. Long fingers take it, and he strolls toward you, his digits fingering the beads with every step he takes. He stops in front of you, black-as-sin eyes looking down at you..."

The davinci code series is an absolute clusterfuck for how it was adapted:

*The adapted the second book first (the davinci code)

*Then they adapted the first book but presented it as a sequel of the first movie rather than a prequel (angels and demons)

*Then they skipped the third book altogether (the lost symbol)

*Then they adapted the fourth book as the finale to the trilogy (inferno)

*Then the completly ignored the fifth book (genesis)

*And THEN they adapted the third book into a tv series with different actors and its own continuity (the lost symbol)

The hill on which I will fight Ron Howard to the death on

(Spoilers for Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code ahead) Allow me to take a moment of your time to rant about the nonsensical-ness of Ron Howard's Robert Langdon movie trilogy. But first, let us pray:

God bless Ewan Macgregor ripping off his sexy priest collar to brand his sexy self with a sexy illuminatus fire poker. Ron Howard, WHY did you wait and make The Da Vinci Code first? Amen.

I. Logic

Dude. Dan Brown wrote and released Angels and Demons first. Why did you start with making the Da Vinci Code movie? If it was because the second book was more controversial (granted, it's a huge thing to write a book based on the idea that Jesus Christ had a child), but COME ON. Angels and Demons wrote about a pope being pro artificial insemination! The pope supported it bc he was in such a loving relationship with a nun that they wanted a child! And couldn't, so they went with artificial insemination! WHAT.

And if it was because there was no goal to make another Robert Langdon movie, and this was supposed to be a standalone movie until yall saw how successful it was, I uh call bullshit. Bc the plot for Angels and Demons was fuckin awesome bro I will expand on this later.

II. Plot

We're expanding on it now. How could you read the first book and think "eh?" THE CARMALENGO SET HIMSELF ON FIRE DUDE. Upon finding out he was the son of the pope, he ran through the Vatican to set himself ON FIRE. The Angels and Demons movie was fun and awesome, but if you wanted a pulse-ripping cinematic experience, you should've been more loyal to the book bro. The book had Ewan Macgregor and Tom Hanks jump out of a helicopter (where was this in the movie Ron?). The book had Ewan Macgregor have a David Copperfield-type reveal where spotlights revealed him standing above a crowd with his hands raised up, making him appear to have fucking teleported before the very eyes of the media (where was this in the movie RON?). The book had Tom Hanks fly through the air on a magical carpet ride only to land exhausted in a hospital (WHERE WAS THIS IN THE MOVIE RON?). The book had so, so much dude, it was destined for the screen. This could've been an easy win for starting a sensical Robert Langdon movie series.

III. Down the Road Issues

Why were only books 1, 2, and 4 adapted? Aren't there like, 5 books in the series? Idk why The Lost Symbol was skipped, but I'm reading it now to see if I can see why. Bc that's just a weird thing bro. I kinda see why Origin wasn't adapted, because Inferno kinda sucked with the critics, but TOO LATE RON. If you're gonna make an adapted film series, you gotta commit it to win it. You're supposed to take my hand and pull me through all Robert Landon chronicles to the end of the story. End of story. Give Tom Hanks an underappreciated, COMPLETE movie series that will only become more beloved in time. It is inevitable, bc they're just too gosh darn fun.

IV. Thank you, Ron

That being said, the movies are fun, and I'm glad they were adapted by a director as fun and unpretentious as you. Thank you Ron Howard for spreading the hot priest wealth across the two movies, with Alfred Molina and Ewan Macgregor. You're a genius and a gem.

something about middle aged men who are experts at their field and get into deadly shenanigans because they’re good at their field but retaining a kind compassionate heart nonetheless 🤌🏼
