First film
"From now on you'll have no identifying marks of any kind. You'll not stand out in any way. Your entire image is crafted to leave no lasting memory with anyone you encounter. You are a rumor, recognizable only as déjà vu and dismissed just as quickly. You don't exist. You were never even born. Anonymity is your name; silence, your native tongue. You're no longer part of the System. You're above the System. Over it. Beyond it. We're 'them'. We're 'they'. We are the Men in Black."
— Zed
Agent J: Wehllll.... better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all, eh, K?
Agent K: Try it.
Agent K: Try it.
INS Agent Janus: Who are you? Really?
Agent K: Really? [puts on sunglasses] I am just a figment of your imagination.
Agent K: [muttering to self] Damn, what a gullible breed...
J: It's okay, Laurel.
Laurel: How is it okay?
J: I'm saying it's going to be okay.
Edgar-Bug: Don't bet on it, meat sack.
D: I'll tell you, Kay, I will miss the chase.
K: [pulling out his neuralyzer] No, D, you won't.
Zed: Edwards, let's put it on.
James Edwards: Put what on?
Zed: The last suit you'll ever wear.
James Edwards: Why the big secret? People are smart. They can handle it.
Agent K: A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. 1500 years ago, everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. 500 years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and 15 minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow...
Edwards: What's the catch?
K: The catch? The catch is you will sever every human contact. Nobody will ever know you exist anywhere. Ever. I'll give you to sunrise to think it over.
[K starts walking away]
Edwards: [shouting after K] Hey! Is it worth it?
K: Oh yeah, it's worth it... if you're strong enough!
Jay: All right, I'm in. Y'all got some next level shit going on and I'm with that, but before y'all get to beaming me up there's one thing you gotta remember: You chose me, so you recognize the skills. I don't want nobody calling me son or kid or sport or nothing like that. Cool?
Kay: Cool, whatever you say, Slick, but I need to tell you something about all your skills. As of right now, they mean precisely... dick.
Kay: Cool, whatever you say, Slick, but I need to tell you something about all your skills. As of right now, they mean precisely... dick.
Kay: We do not discharge our weapons in view of the public!
Jay: Man, we ain't got time for this cover-up bullshit! I don't know whether or not you've forgotten, but there's an Arquillian Battle Cruiser that's about to....
Kay: There's always an Arquillian Battle Cruiser, or a Corillian Death Ray, or an intergalactic plague that is about to wipe out all life on this miserable little planet, and the only way these people can get on with their happy lives is that they DO. NOT. KNOW ABOUT IT!

Laurel: Interesting job you guys have.
J: [singing "Men in Black" song] Vivid memories, turn to fantasies, ain't no MIBs...
