"Someone once asked me if I was the best future for my little girl. I've thought about this for long time, and here's what I've decided: No one in this world is perfect. Heaven knows I'm not. But I love her more than anyone else possibly could. In the end, that's all that matters."
"Now that's entertainment."
"Cash or check?"
Better make it cash.
Three hundred dollars? I've worked a hundred and twenty hours in the last two weeks."
"Cash fee. Next!"
"Cash fee?"
"You wanted cash, there's a fee. You want a check instead?"
"Seeing as how the company's out of business, not exactly."
"What does little Piper want? Do you want a story? You know you won't understand it, but it'll be good practice for me."
"So what are you in for?"
"They say I killed a cop."
"Did you do it?"
"Yeah."
"Bad cop?"
"Good cop... lousy husband."
"14K. First generation Chinese-American, tenth generation Triad. His father sent him to business school, and he's the only man in here who holds a degree from MIT. He's killed four men off the track..."
"That we know of."
"...another seven on it."
"Hector Grimm, the Grimm Reaper. The man's a master. Clinical psychopath. Three time consecutive life sentences. He's killed six men off the track, another twelve on it."
"You've already met the local chapter of the Brotherhood. Their driver, Pachenko, has killed nine men on the track. Nobody knows how many off."
"Don't talk to the other drivers. Frank never did. Part of the mystique. Let the mask do the work."
"You wanted a monster? Well, you've got one."
"This prison is the home to murderers, rapists, and violent offenders of every kind. The United States Penal System sends me the worst of the worst. But the men you've provoked, well, let's just say Mr. Ames that the life term you've joined us for may be a lot shorter than you think."
Although I haven't seen the movie, these quotes sound vaguely familiar. I think this has been mentioned on this thread before, or maybe the Flicks Remembered from Just One Line thread.

"This is a race! You don't go backwards!
And you don't get out of the car!"
"Release the Dreadnought."
"A man so disfigured by crashes that he's forced to wear a mask. His return to the track is highly anticipated, and therein lies my problem. No one knows yet, but poor Frank died on an operating table not long after his last race. Anyone can wear the mask, but not just anyone can drive the car. You have the skills required to keep the legend alive. I want you to become Frankenstein."
"No thanks. He's dead. Why don't you just tell the truth?"
"The audience wants to see Frank again. He moves them. Inspires them. And in this world that's not easy to come by."
"What makes you think for a second I would risk my life doing this for you?"
"Win five races, you go free. Those are the rules, and Frank has won four. Win one more, you walk. Call it intuition, but I don't think you belong in here with the rest of these animals."
"I might surprise you."
"The race is Friday, and I need your decision. You're a skilled driver. You're chances are good. I'm offering you your freedom, Mr. Ames. If it's not worth risking your life for, what is?"
"You sure are lucky a driver like me just happened to turn up in your prison when I did."
"Oh, I'm more than lucky. I'm blessed. Sometimes it's like the right hand of God is sitting on my shoulder."
"Marcie Dahlgren-Frost. Dahlgren is my maiden name, Frost is my married name. I'm single again, but I never bothered to remove the Frost. And I get compliments on the hyphen."

What, did you have a few drinks this morning? Huh? Yeah, I think you did.
What are you? Mother Cabrini? You never touch the stuff?
Buck: No, no. It's just that I wouldn't be drinking if I was going to entertain some kids. You know?
I don't have to take this sh!t from you. You know who I am? In the field of local-live-home entertainment, I'm a god!
Get in your mouse, and get out of here.

"Don't you see the rest of the country looks upon New York like we're left-wing, communist, Jewish, homosexual pornographers? I think of us that way sometimes and I live here."
"That sex was the most fun I've ever had without laughing."
"Sometimes I ask myself how I'd stand up under torture."
"You? You kiddin'? If the Gestapo would take away your Bloomingdale's charge card, you'd tell 'em everything."
Glad this one is working out. This should be the giveaway. One of the best dialogues ever captured on film. No consequence whatsoever, but still...
"I guess I'd be delighted to have you abuse my daughter under my own roof. Would you like the room where I first violated her mother? Or would you be interested in the master bedroom? Ethel, your boy and I could sleep out back. You could do it right here on the hearth. Like that?"
"You're havin' a good time, aren't you?"
"Huh?"
"Chelsea told me all about how you like to have a good old time with people's heads. She does too sometimes. Sometimes I can get into it and sometimes not. I think you should know I'm pretty good at recognizing crap when I hear it. You know, it's not imperative that you and I become friends. But I thought it would be nice. I'm sure you're a very fascinating person and I thought it would be fascinating getting to know you. That's obviously not an easy task. No. You just go ahead and be as 'poopy' as you want, to quote Chelsea. And I'll be as receptive and as pleasant as I can be. But I want you to bear one thing in mind while you're jerking me around, making me feel like an ....: I know precisely what you're up to. I'll take just so much of it. Okay? Now, what is the bottom line on this illicit sex question?"
"Very good. That was a good speech. Bottom line, huh? You're a bottom line man. All right, here's the bottom line. Okay."
"Hm?"
"You seem like a nice man. Bit verbose, but nice."
"Thank you."
"And you're right about me. I am fascinating."
"I'm sure you are."
"Let's get back to talking about sex. Anything you want to know, just ask me."
"No, I just... I just wanted to clear up that little question. Chelsea and I can sleep together, right?"

I'm guessing that WW won't mind my adding a clue: the movie starred Danny Kaye. George

Once again, you posted a quote from a movie, where you could have posted 1/2 the script without me getting it, except for the one quote you posted. This was from early on in "Red Dawn."

Well, the last quotes pretty much give away the movie's plot, I suppose; but I don't recognize it at all.

Possibly you guys can put together what you DO know, and maybe someone will get the title.
Some of you might have seen it, others might have seen the "original" a few decades before.
I mean, any movie with a Carradine in it is hardly THAT obscure...

*thinks*
Ok, Jbarrax has it- he said "Death Race", which is the name of the current movie.
It was thought of as a sort-of prequel or a sequel to the original Death Race 2000,
depending on who you ask. Carradine's voice was used at the beginning of this one
for Frankenstein before his fatal crash- which was a reference to the previous flick.
So, it's his turn now.
(Jbarrax, not Carradine.)

Even if you didn't leave Buck's name in the middle quote, I would have gotten it from the last one.
"Uncle Buck" (The high school scenes were filmed at my old high school, and the kindergarten scenes about a mile from my home.)
