I'm guessing this will be an easy one:

General: "Now each battalion has a specific code-name and mission. Battalion 5, raise your hands!"
[all the African American members put up their hands including C.]
General: "You will be the all important first defense wave, which we will call "Operation Human Shield".
C.: "Hey, wait a minute..."
General: "Now keep in mind, 'Operation Human Shield' will suffer heavy losses. But don't lose your spirit men! Stay until the bitter end. Battalion 14?"
[all the White soldiers raise their hands]
General: "Right, you are 'Operation Get Behind The Darkies'. You will follow Battalion 5 here and try not to get killed for God's Sake. Are there any questions men?"
[C. raises his hand]
General: "Yes Soldier?"
C.: "Haven't you ever heard of the Emancipation Proclamation?"
General: "I don't listen to hip-hop!"
Hint: the war is between the USA and Canada

"In the end, they put candles on the bodies so's their friends, if they had any, could know them in the dark. The city did this free of charge. Shang, Jimmy Spoils, Hell-cat, McGloin, and more. Friend or foe, didn't make no difference now. It was four days and nights before the worst of the mob was finally put down. We never knew how many New Yorkers died that week before the city was finally delivered. My father told me we was all born of blood and tribulation, and so then too was our great city. But for those of us what lived and died in them furious days, it was like everything we knew was mightily swept away. And no matter what they did to build this city up again... for the rest of time... it would be like no one ever knew we was even here."

"It was hard to know how to feel. I had never been in a battle like this one. This had not been a fight for territory or riches or to make men free. This battle had no ego. It had been fought to preserve the food stores that would see us through winter, to protect the lives of women and children and loved ones only a few feet away. I felt a pride I had never felt before."

"You son of a bitch."

"Hey man. What is your major malfunction?"

"You stole my design, you son of a bitch."

"What are you talking about?"

"Dorothy. You took her, you damn thief."

"Oh, I get it. You want to take credit for my design."

"She was our idea and you know it."

"Unrealised idea... unrealized."

I think that this is from Twister with Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt ?

"They're nice kids. All nice. All nice kids. They have very, very good taste, I might add."

"I'm glad. It would be a shame to waste the genius of yours on the riffraff."

"Well, honey, I always say, if you're good and you know it, why waste time beating around the bush, true?"

"And I always say that to love yourself is the beginning of a life-long romance. And after watching you, I know that you and you will be very happy together."

"Just a minute, sweetheart. I don't recall dismissing you."

"You rude, discourteous egomaniac!"

"You're crazy about me, right? And I can understand it. Only this morning, looking in the mirror before shaving, I enjoyed seeing what I saw so much I couldn't tear myself away."

[kisses his hand]

"Have some, baby?"
