In the opening action sequence, one of the sense-offenders slams wide the front doors of the hideout and begins firing at the police. The camera cuts to the police, who immediately open fire; when we cut back to the sense-offender being riddled by bullets, the hideout doors are securely closed behind him. See more...

Equilibrium (2002) - 5 quotes

Directed by Kurt Wimmer, starring Christian Bale, Sean Bean (add more)

Genres: Action, Sci-fi, Thriller

John Preston: You're an offender!

Reading Room Proprietor: I'm not!

John Preston: No? Then why are you so scared of me?

John Preston: Then I have no choice but to remand you to the Palace of Justice for processing.

Mary: Processing. You mean execution, don't you?

John Preston: Processing.

DuPont: The gun katas. Through analysis of thousands of recorded gunfights, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically predictable element. The gun kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents while keeping the defender clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire. By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly.

John Preston: I'll do what I can to see they go easy on you.

Partridge: We both know they never "go easy".

John Preston: Then, I'm sorry.

Partridge: No, you're not. You don't even know the meaning. Its just a vestigial word for a feeling you've never felt.

Mary: Let me ask you something. Why are you alive?

John Preston: I'm alive... I live... to safeguard the continuity of this great society. To serve Libria.

Mary: It's circular. You exist to continue your existence. What's the point?

John Preston: What's the point of your existence?

Mary: To feel. 'Cause you've never done it, you can never know it. But it's as vital as breath. And without it, without love, without anger, without sorrow, breath is just a clock... ticking.
