"they may take our pants... but they'll never take our freedom!"
"may the pants be with you, always"

The Matrix
--------------
TRINITY: You're looking for pants. I know, because I was once looking for the same thing. And when he found me, he told me I wasn't really looking for pants. I was looking for an answer.
--------------
TRINITY: It's the pants that drives us, Neo. It's the pants that brought you here.
--------------
TRINITY: The pants are out there, Neo. It's looking for you. And it will find you, if you want it to.
--------------
NEO: Wow, that sound like a really good deal. But I think I got a better one. How about I give you the finger... and you give me my pants.
--------------
MORPHEUS: You see, you may have spent the last few years looking for pants, but I've spent my entire life looking for you.
--------------
MORPHEUS: You have the pants of a man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up. Ironically, this is not far from the truth.
--------------
MORHPEUS: Do you believe in pants, Neo?
NEO: No.
MORHPEUS: Why not?
NEO: Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life.
--------------
MORHPEUS: You've felt it your entire life. That there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is but it's there, like a splinter in your pants driving you mad.
--------------
MORHPEUS: It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the pants.
NEO: What pants?
--------------
MORHPEUS: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage, born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch. A prison for your pants.
--------------
MORHPEUS: What is real? How do you define real? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your pants.
--------------
MORHPEUS: We marveled at our own magnificence as we gave pants to AI.
--------------
MORHPEUS: A singular consciousness that spawned an entire race of pants.
--------------
MORHPEUS: Throughout human history, we have been dependent on pants to survive. Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony.
--------------
MORHPEUS: The Matrix is a computer generated dream world built to keep us under control in order to change a human being into pants.
--------------
i know exactly what you mean. let me tell you why you're here. you're here because you know something. what you know, you can't explain. but you feel it. you felt it your entire life. that there's something wrong with the world. you don't know what it is, but it's there. like a splinter in your mind -- driving you mad. it is this feeling that has brought you to me. do you know what i'm talking about?
the pants?
do you want to know what they are?
the pants are everywhere, all around us. even now, in this very room. you can see them when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. you can feel them when you go to work, or when go to church or when you pay your taxes. it is the pants that have been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
what truth?
yhat you are a slave, Neo. like everyone else, you were born into bondage, born inside a prison that you cannot smell, taste, or touch. a prison for your mind. unfortunately, no one can be told what the pants are. you have to see them for yourself. this is your last chance. after this, there is no turning back.
you take the blue pants and the story ends. you wake in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. you take the red pants and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.
remember -- all I am offering is the pants, nothing more

Ever After
--------------
Leonardo da Vinci: I know that a life without pants is no life at all.
Henry: And pants without trust?
--------------
King Francis: I will simply deny you the pants and . . . live forever.

Dream For An Insomniac
--------------
There are too many mediocre things in life to deal with and pants should not be one of them

Obviously this does not work with every movie quote... I was hard-pressed to find some malleable quotes in stephen king's article in EW. Try it yourself.... Replace a word with pants....
