Quotes31

  • 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.
  • Brand: Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends time and space.
  • Brand: Time is relative, okay? It can stretch and it can squeeze, but... it can't run backwards. Just can't. The only thing that can move across dimensions, like time, is gravity.
  • CASE: Ranger 2, prepare to detach.
  • Brand: What! NO, NO! Cooper! Cooper, what are you doing?
  • Cooper: Newton's third law. You've got to leave something behind.
  • Brand: You said there were enough resources for both of us!
  • Cooper: We agreed, Dr. Brand... ninety percent.
  • Brand: You might have to decide between seeing your children again and the future of the human race.
  • Brand: Cooper, you can't ask TARS to do this for us.
  • Cooper: He's a robot. So you don't have to *ask* him to do anything.
  • Brand: Cooper, you asshole!
  • 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.
  • Cooper: It's hard leaving everything... my kids, your father...
  • Brand: [cutting him off] We're gonna be spending a lot of time together...
  • Cooper: We should learn to talk.
  • Brand: And when not to. Just being honest.
  • Cooper: I don't think you need to be *that* honest.
  • Doyle: Where's the rest?
  • Brand: Towards the mountains!
  • Cooper: Those aren't mountains... they're waves.
  • Brand: Oh shit. Oh shit!
  • Cooper: That one's moving away from us...
  • Brand: [struggling through the water] We need the recorder!
  • Cooper: [he looks in the other direction and sees a mounting wave towering thousands of feet over them] Brand, Doyle, back to the Ranger, now!
  • Cooper: Well, this little maneuver's gonna cost us 51 years!
  • Brand: You don't sound so bad for a man pushing 120!
  • Cooper: Oh we are not prepared for this. We have the survival skills of a Boy Scout troop!
  • Brand: Well we got this far on our brains, further than any human in history.
  • Cooper: Well not far enough! And now we're stuck *here*, until there won't be anyone on Earth left to save!
  • Brand: I'm counting every minute, same as you, Cooper.
  • Brand: Couldn't you've told her you were going to save the world?
  • Cooper: 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.
  • Brand: Maybe we've spent too long trying to figure all this out with theory.
  • Cooper: You're a scientist, Brand.
  • Brand: 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...
  • Brand: We love people who've died. Where's the "social utility" in that?
  • Cooper: None.
  • Cooper: Detach!
  • Brand: Goodbye TARS.
  • TARS: Good-bye Dr. Brand. See you on the other side Coop.
  • Cooper: See you there slick!
  • Cooper: We wanna get down fast, don't we?
  • Brand: Actually we want to get there in one piece.
  • Cooper: Hang on.
  • Brand: I'm not gonna make it!
  • Cooper: Yes you are, yes you are!
  • 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.
  • [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?
  • Brand: [grinning] First handshake.
  • Cooper: [the ranger won't take off] CASE, what's the problem?
  • CASE: Too waterlogged. Let it drain.
  • Cooper: GODDAMN IT!
  • [smashes the dashboard]
  • Brand: I told you to leave me.
  • Cooper: And I told you to get your ass back here!
  • Brand: Why didn't you leave me?
  • Cooper: The difference is one of us was thinking about the mission, Brand!
  • [Cooper punches the wall next to Brand's head]
  • Brand: Cooper, you were thinking about getting home! I was trying to do the right thing!
  • Cooper: You tell that to Doyle!
  • 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.
