Interstellar Movie Quotes
Dr. Brand
Do not go gentle into that good night; Old age should burn and rave at close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars. Now we just look down, and worry about our place in the dirt.

Cooper
We've always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible. And we count these moments. These moments when we dare to aim higher, to break barriers, to reach for the stars, to make the unknown known. We count these moments as our proudest achievements. But we lost all that. Or perhaps we've just forgotten that we are still pioneers. And we've barely begun. And that our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us, that our destiny lies above us.

Young Murph
Why did you and mom name me after something that's bad?
Cooper
Well, we didn't.
Young Murph
Murphy's law?
Cooper
Murphy's law doesn't mean that something bad will happen. It means that whatever *can* happen, will happen. And that sounded just fine to us.

You're ruling my son out for college now? The kid's fifteen.
Principal
Tom's score simply isn't high enough.
Cooper
What's your waistline? 32? With, what, a 33 inseam?
Principal
I'm not sure I see what you're getting at.

Murph
[through video monitor]
Hey Dad. You sonabitch. Never made one of these while you were still responding because I was so mad at you for leaving. And when you went quiet, it seemed like I should live with that decision, and I have. But today's my birthday. And it's a special one, because you told me... you once told me that by the time you came back we might be the same age. And today I'm the same age you were when you left.
[crying]
Murph
So it'd be a real good time for you to come back.

Hey TARS, what's your honesty parameter?

Cooper
You don't believe we went to the Moon?
Ms. Kelly
I believe it was a brilliant piece of propaganda, that the Soviets bankrupted themselves, pouring resources into rockets and other useless machines...
Cooper
Useless machines?
Ms. Kelly
And if we don't want to repeat of the excess and wastefulness of the 20th Century then we need to teach our kids about this planet, not tales of leaving it.
Cooper
You know, one of those useless machines they used to make was called an MRI, and if we had any of those left the doctors would have been able to find the cyst in my wife's brain, *before* she died instead of after, and then she would've been the one sitting here, listening to this instead of me, which would've been a good thing because she was always the... calmer one.

Cooper
You're a scientist, Brand.
Brand
So listen to me when I say that love isn't something that we invented. It's... observable, powerful. It has to mean something.
Cooper
Love has meaning, yes. Social utility, social bonding, child rearing...
Brand
We love people who have died. Where's the social utility in that?
Cooper
None.
Brand
Maybe it means something more - something we can't yet understand. Maybe it's some evidence, some artefact of a higher dimension that we can't consciously perceive. I'm drawn across the universe to someone I haven't seen in a decade, who I know is probably dead. Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space. Maybe we should trust that, even if we can't understand it. All right Cooper. Yes. The tiniest possibility of seeing Wolf again excites me. That doesn't mean I'm wrong.
Cooper
Honestly, Amelia... it might.

Cooper
Okay. Now you need to tell me what your plan is to save the world.
Dr. Brand
We're not meant to save the world. We're meant to leave it.
Dr. Brand
The last components of our one versatile ship in orbit, the Endurance. Our final expedition.
Cooper
You sent people out there looking for a new home?
Dr. Brand
The Lazarus missions.
Cooper
That sounds cheerful.
Dr. Brand
Lazarus came back from the dead.
Cooper
Sure, but he had to die in the first place. There's not a planet in our solar system that can sustain life and the nearest star is over a thousand years away, I mean, that doesn't even qualify as futile. Where'd you send them?
Dr. Brand
Cooper, I can't tell you any more, unless you agree to pilot this craft. You're the best pilot we ever had.
Cooper
And I barely left the stratosphere.
Dr. Brand
This team never left the simulator. We need a pilot, and this is the mission that you were trained for.
Cooper
What, without even knowing it? An hour ago, you didn't even know I was alive and you were going anyway.
Dr. Brand
We had no choice. But something sent you here. They chose you.
Cooper
Well who's "they"?
[Dr. Brand does not answer]
Cooper
How long would I be gone?
Dr. Brand
Hard to know. Years.

I've got kids, professor.

Brand
Couldn't you've told her you were going to save the world?

No. When you become a parent, one thing becomes really clear. And that's that you want to make sure your children feel safe. And that rules out telling a 10-year old that the world's ending.

Murph
It was you. You were my ghost.
TARS
Cooper... Cooper... Come in, Cooper.
Cooper
TARS?
TARS
Roger that.
Cooper
You survived!
TARS
Somewhere, in their fifth dimension, they... saved us.
Cooper
Who the hell is they? Why would they want to help us, huh?
TARS
I don't know, but they constructed this three-dimensional space inside of their five-dimensional reality to allow you to understand it.
Cooper
Well, it ain't working.
TARS
Yes it is! You've seen that time is represented here as a *physical* dimension! You've worked out that you *can* exert a force across space-time!
Cooper
Gravity. To send a message.
TARS
Affirmative.
Cooper
Gravity can cross the dimensions, including time.

Romilly
Of all these anomalies, the most significant is this: out near Saturn, a disturbance of space-time.
Cooper
It's a wormhole?
Romilly
Appeared 48 years ago.
Cooper
And, it leads where?
Dr. Brand
Another galaxy.
Cooper
A wormhole's not a naturally occurring phenomenon...
Brand
Someone placed it there.
Cooper
"They."
Brand
And whoever they are, they appear to be looking out for us. That wormhole, lets us travel to other stars. Came along right as we needed it.
Doyle
They've put potentially habitable worlds right within our reach. Twelve, in fact, from our initial probes.
Cooper
You send probes into that?
Doyle
Mm-hm.
Dr. Brand
We sent *people* into it. Ten years ago.
Cooper
The Lazarus missions.
Dr. Brand
Twelve possible worlds, twelve Ranger launches, carrying the bravest humans ever to live. Led by the remarkable Dr. Mann.
Doyle
Each person's landing pod had enough life support for two years, but they could use hibernation to stretch that, making observations on organics over a decade or more. Their mission was to assess their world, and if it showed potential, then they could send out a signal, bed down for the long nap, wait to be rescued.
Cooper
And what if the world didn't show promise?
Doyle
Hence the bravery.

Cooper
Sorry, you broke up a little bit there.
TARS
It's what we intended, Dr. Brand. It's our only chance to save the people on Earth. If I can find a way to transmit the quantum data I'll find in there, they might still make it.

So listen to me, when I say that love is not something we invented. It's observable, powerful. It has to mean something.
Cooper
Love has meaning, yes. Social utility, social bonding, child rearing...

Cooper
None.

Cooper, they didn't bring us here to change the past.

TARS
They didn't bring us here to change the past.
Cooper
[realizing]
But they didn't bring us here at all. We brought ourselves. TARS, give me the coordinates for NASA, in binary.
TARS
In binary, roger, feeding data.
[Cooper creates the binary lines in the dust on Murphy's bedroom floor]
Murph
It's not a ghost... it's gravity.
Cooper
Don't you get it yet, TARS? I brought myself here! We're here to communicate with the three-dimensional world! We're the bridge! I thought they chose me. But they didn't choose me, they chose her!
TARS
For what, Cooper?
Cooper
To save the world! All of this, is one little girl's bedroom, every moment! It's infinitely complex! They have access, to infinite time and space, but they're not *bound* by anything! They can't find a specific place *in* time, they can't communicate. That's why I'm here. I'm gonna find a way to tell Murph, just like I found this moment.
TARS
How, Cooper?
Cooper
Love, TARS, love. It's just like Brand said. My connection with Murph, it is quantifiable. It's the key!
TARS
What are we here to do?
Cooper
Find how to tell her... The watch... The watch. That's it. We code the data into the movement of the second hand. TARS, translate the data into Morse and feed it to me.
TARS
Translating data to Morse. Cooper, what if she never came back for it?
Cooper
She will. She will.
Murph
Okay. I'm coming down!
TARS
How do you know?
Cooper
Because I gave it to her.
Murph
[rushing downstairs with the watch]
He came back! It was him! All this time, I didn't, I didn't know it was him! Dad's gonna save us!

Cooper
After you kids came along, your mom, she said something to me I never quite understood. She said, "Now, we're just here to be memories for our kids." I think now I understand what she meant. Once you're a parent, you're the ghost of your children's future.

I think it might have.
Cooper

TARS
Cooper, people couldn't build this.
Cooper
No. No, not yet. But one day. Not you and me, but a people, a civilization that's evolved beyond the four dimensions we know.

And then when you went quiet, it felt like I should live with that decision, and I have. But today is my birthday. And it's a special one, because you told me... you once told me that when you come back we might be the same age. And today I'm the same age you were when you left.

Hey, Dad. Checkin' in, sayin' hi. Um... finished second in school, Miss Carlin's still giving me Cs though. Pulled me down, but second's not bad. Grandpa attended the ceremony. Um... oh, I met another girl, dad. I, uh... I really think this is the one. Her name is Lois. That's her right there.
[Tom holds up a photo of Lois, Cooper, overwhelmed with emotion, begins weeping]
Young Tom
Murphy stole grandpa's car. She crashed it, she's okay though.
Tom
[we see another message from Tom showing him as an adult] Hey, Dad. Look at this!
[Tom holds up his baby next to him]
Tom
You're a grandpa. His name's Jesse. I kind of wanted to call him Coop, but, Lois says maybe next time.
Lois
[to Jesse] Say bye-bye Grandpa. Bye-bye Grandpa.
Tom
[Cooper continues to watch his messages, the next one shows Tom looking despondent] Sorry it's been a while. Just... what with Jesse and all. Uh... grandpa died last week. We buried him out in the back plot next to mom and... Jesse. Just where we would've buried you if you'd ever... come back. Murph was there at the funeral. We don't see her that much, but she came for that.
Tom
[Tom hesitates] You're not listening to this, I know that. All these messages are just... drifting out there in the darkness. Lois says that, uh... I have to let you go. And, uh... so, I guess... I'm letting you go. I don't know where you are, Dad. But I hope that wherever you are you're at peace. Goodbye.

Dr. Mann
Your father had to find another way to save the human race from extinction. Plan B. A colony.
Brand
But why not tell people? Why keep building those damn stations?
Dr. Mann
Because he knew how hard it would be to get people to work together to save the species instead of themselves.
Cooper
Bullshit.
Dr. Mann
You never would have come here unless you believed you were going to save them. Evolution has yet to transcend that simple barrier. We can care deeply - selflessly - about those we know, but that empathy rarely extends beyond our line of sight.
Brand
But the lie... that monstrous lie...
Dr. Mann
Unforgivable. And he knew that. He was prepared to destroy his own humanity in order to save the species. He made an incredible sacrifice...
Cooper
No. No, the incredible sacrifice is being made by the people on Earth who are gonna die! Because in his fucking arrogance he declared their case hopeless.
Dr. Mann
I'm sorry Cooper. Their case... is hopeless.
Cooper
No... no.

A feeling. I told you about my ghost. My dad thought I called it a ghost, because I was scared of it. But I was never scared of it.

Alright, yeah, you know what? There's a game tomorrow night. She's going through a bit of a baseball phase. Her favorite team's playing, There's gonna be candy and soda...

I'm sorry. I can't watch you go through this. I'm sorry. I thought I could, but I can't. I'm here. I'm here for you. Just listen to my voice, Cooper. I'm right here. You're not alone.
Dr. Mann
[turns to leave]
Did Professor Brand tell you that poem before you left? Do you remember? "Do not go gentle... into that good night. Old age should burn and rave at close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
[Mann switches off his transmitter. Cooper chokes; Cooper manages to get his long-range transmitter reinstalled]
Cooper
Cooper? CASE! Go! Go!
Cooper
No... No air... ammonia...
Brand
Cooper, we're coming! Hang in there, don't talk! Try to breathe as little as possible, we're almost there!

Brand
Dr. Mann, do not open the inner hatch. I repeat, do not open the inner hatch! I repeat, do not open...
Dr. Mann
Brand? I don't know what he said to you, but I am taking command of the Endurance, and then we can talk about completing the mission.
Brand
Dr. Mann, listen to me...
Dr. Mann
This is not about my life, or Cooper's life; this is about all mankind!
[opening the inner hatch]
Dr. Mann
There is a moment...

Well, my dad was a farmer. Um, like everybody else back then. Of course, he didn't start that way.

When I was a kid, it seemed like they made something new every day. Some, gadget or idea, like every day was Christmas. But six billion people, just imagine that. And every last one of them trying to have it all. This world isn't so bad. You're the one who doesn't belong. Born forty years too late, or forty years too early... My daughter knew it, God bless her. And your kids know it. Especially Murph.

[after Cooper and Brand return to the Endurance 23 years later]
Brand
Why didn't you sleep?
Romilly
Oh, I had a couple of stretches. I stopped believing you were coming back. Something seemed wrong about dreaming my life away.

[as they pass through the wormhole a space-time distortion appears inside of the Endurance]
Romilly
What is that?
Brand
I think it's them.
[she reaches toward the distortion]
Doyle
Don't, don't!
[Brand touches the distortion; the Endurance exits the wormhole and space returns to normal]
Romilly
What was that?

[to Tom]
He came back! It was him! All this time... I... I didn't know it was him. Dad's gonna save us!

Dr. Brand
Our atmosphere is 80 percent nitrogen. We don't even breathe nitrogen. Blight does, and as it thrives, our air gets less and less oxygen. The last people to starve, will be the first to suffocate. And your daughter's generation will be the last to survive on Earth.

Cooper, There's no point using fuel to chase...

Dr. Brand
Cooper, what are you doing?
Cooper
Docking.

Cooper
[the ranger's engines are waterlogged, needing time to dry before they can leave Miller's planet]
CASE! How much time?
CASE
45 to an hour.
Cooper
Agh!
[removes helmet]
Cooper
The stuff of life, huh? What's this gonna cost us, Brand?
Cooper
God... What happened to Miller?
Brand
Judging by the... wreckage, she was broken up by a wave soon after impact.
Cooper
How does the wreckage stay together after all these years, huh?
Brand
Because of the time slippage. On this planet's time, she just landed hours ago, she... she probably just died minutes ago.

Brand
[reuniting with Romilly, after just a few hours on Miller's planet, deep in Gargantua's gravity well]
Hello, Rom.
Romilly
I've waited years.
Cooper
How... How many years?
Romilly
By now it must be...
TARS
It's twenty-three years, four months, eight days.
Romilly
Doyle?
[Cooper stares at floor, walks past]
Brand
I thought I was prepared. I knew the theory, I... Reality's different.
Romilly
Miller?
Brand
There's nothing here for us.

[while landing on Miller's planet]
CASE
We should ease.
Cooper
Hands where I can see 'em, CASE! The only time I ever went down was when a machine was easing at the wrong time.
CASE
A little caution...
Cooper
Will get you killed, just like reckless driving.
Doyle
Cooper, it's too damn fast!
Cooper
I got this.
CASE
Should I disable the feedback?
Cooper
No. I need to feel the air.

TARS
Sir, I'm having trouble completing the bootup.
Romilly
I don't understand.
TARS
There is a security lockout, sir, it requires a person to access function. It's all yours, sir.
[Romilly accesses archives]
Brand
What?
Cooper
Mann... was lying! Go, go! Romilly!
[Romilly puts in his ear piece]

Brand
We love people who have died. Where's the social utility in that?
Cooper
None.
Brand
Maybe it means something more, something we can't... yet, understand. Maybe it's some evidence, some... artifact of a higher dimension that we can't consciously perceive. I'm drawn across the universe to someone I haven't seen in a decade... who I know is probably dead. Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving... that transcends dimensions of time and space. Maybe we should trust that, even if we can't understand it yet. All right, Cooper... yes... the tiniest possibility of seeing Wolf again excites me. That doesn't mean I'm wrong.
Cooper
Honestly, Amelia... it might. TARS, chart a course for Dr. Mann's.

Dr. Mann
A machine doesn't improvise well because you cannot program a fear of death.
Dr. Mann
Our survival instinct is our greatest source of inspiration.

[They land on Miller's Planet, which has severe gravitational time dilation]
Cooper
No. But very efficient.
[He looks at Doyle, who has been alarmed by the landing, and then at Brand]
Cooper
What are you waiting for? Let's go. Go, go, go, go go! Seven years per hour here. Let's make it count.

[as the Endurance is about to enter the wormhole]
Cooper
Any trick to this, Doyle?
Doyle
No one knows.
Cooper
Well, the others made it, right?
Doyle
...at least some of them.

Lois
Murph, are you done eating or would you like some more souffle?
Murph
I'm full, thanks. It was delicious.
Lois
Will you spend the night? Your room is exactly how you left it, it's ready, just...
Murph
No, I have to get back.
Lois
My sewing machine's in there but there's...

Brand
He inspired eleven people to follow him on the loneliest journey in human history. Scientists, explorers... That's what I love - out there we face great odds. Death. But not evil.
Cooper
Nature can't be evil?
Brand
Formidable, frightening - not evil. Is a tiger evil because it rips a gazelle to pieces?
Cooper
Just what we bring with us, then.
Brand
This crew represents the best aspects of humanity.
