Quotes
-
Albus Dumbledore : Funny how historic days seem so ordinary when you're living them. Well, perhaps that's what happens when the world gets things right. It's jolly nice to know it happens occasionally.
-
Albus Dumbledore : [From trailer] Correct. 3 points to Hufflepuff.
-
[from trailer]
Albus Dumbledore : The world as we know it is coming undone. Things that seem unimaginable today will seem inevitable tomorrow. Should you agree to do what I ask, you'll have to trust me, even when every instinct tells you not to.
-
Albus Dumbledore : [revealing that his blood pact with Grindelwald has been broken] Remarkable.
Newt Scamander : But how? I-I thought you couldn't move against one another.
Albus Dumbledore : We didn't. He sought to kill, I sought to protect. Our spells met. Let's call it fate. After all, how else will we fulfill our destinies?
-
Credence Barebone : [Grindelwald is chosen to lead the International Confederation of Wizards] He's lying to you. That creature is dead.
[he collapses, and Aberforth moves to help him]
Albus Dumbledore : Not now. Wait.
Newt Scamander : He did it to trick you. He killed it and bewitched it so that you might think him worthy to lead. But he doesn't want to lead you. He just wants you to follow.
Gellert Grindelwald : Words. Words designed to deceive. To make you doubt what you've seen with your own two eyes.
Newt Scamander : There were two Qilins born that night. A twin. And I know that... I know that b...
Gellert Grindelwald : Because? Because you have no proof. Because there was no second Qilin. Am I not right?
Newt Scamander : Its mother had been killed, it...
Gellert Grindelwald : Then where is it now, Mr. Scamander?
Bunty : [disgused as a priestess, she approaches and hands Newt his case] No one can know everything, Newt.
-
Albus Dumbledore : I owe you an apology. It... it was never my intent for you to suffer the Cruciatus Curse.
Jacob Kowalski : Yeah... well, you know, we got Queenie back, so we're square. Hey, can I ask you a question?
[taking his wand out]
Jacob Kowalski : Can I keep this? For, like, old times' sake?
Albus Dumbledore : I can't think of anyone more deserving.
-
Jacob Kowalski : Where to next?
Albus Dumbledore : Uh, this is where I leave you.
Jacob Kowalski : I'm... I'm sorry, you're what? Leaving me?
Albus Dumbledore : I have to meet someone else, Mr. Kowalski. Not to worry, you'll be perfectly safe. You don't have the Qilin. Feel free to drop the case at the first hint of trouble. One other thing, if you don't mind me saying. You should stop doubting yourself. You have something most men go their entire lives without. Do you know what that is? A heart that is full. Only a truly brave man could open himself up so honestly and completely, as you do.
-
Albus Dumbledore : Grindelwald will do anything within his powers to get his hands on our rare friend. Therefore, it's essential that we keep whoever he dispatches on his behalf guessing, so the Qilin gets to the ceremony safely. If, by teatime, the Qilin, not to mention all of us, are still alive, we should consider our efforts a success.
Jacob Kowalski : For the record, nobody ever died playing three-card monte.
Albus Dumbledore : An important distinction. All right, everybody choose a case and we'll be on our way. Mr. Kowalski, you and I will proceed together first.
Jacob Kowalski : Me? Okay.
[as he reaches for a case, Dumbledore clears his throat and shakes him off, then nods as Jacob indicates another one]
Albus Dumbledore : [activating a portkey] I'm looking forward to you educating me a little further on the finer points of three-card monte.
-
Albus Dumbledore : Thank you, Newt.
Newt Scamander : What for?
Albus Dumbledore : Pick your poison. I really couldn't have done it without you.
Newt Scamander : I'd-I'd do it again, by the way. Should you ask.
-
Jacob Kowalski : What is this place?
Newt Scamander : The room we require.
Albus Dumbledore : I trust you all have the tickets that Bunty gave you? You'll need them to gain access to the ceremony.
[indicating four suitcases on the ground]
Albus Dumbledore : What do you think, Newt? Can you tell which one is yours?
Newt Scamander : No.
Albus Dumbledore : Good. I'd be worried if you could.
Eulalie 'Lally' Hicks : I assume the Qilin's in one of these cases.
Albus Dumbledore : Yes.
Eulalie 'Lally' Hicks : Well, which one is it?
Albus Dumbledore : Which one, indeed.
Jacob Kowalski : Ooh, it's like a three-card monte thing. Like a shell game thing. Like-like a short con.
[seeing they don't understand]
Jacob Kowalski : Never mind, it's a Muggle thing.
-
Albus Dumbledore : Thank you.
Waitress : Would you like something else?
Albus Dumbledore : No. No, no, not just yet. I'm waiting. I'm expecting someone.
Gellert Grindelwald : Would this be one of your regular haunts?
Albus Dumbledore : I don't have any regular haunts.
Gellert Grindelwald : Let me see it. Sometimes I imagine I still feel it around my neck. i carried it for so many years. How does it feel around yours?
Albus Dumbledore : We can free each other of it.
Gellert Grindelwald : Love to chatter, don't they, our Muggle friends. Though one must admit, they make a good cup of tea.
Albus Dumbledore : What you're doing is madness.
Gellert Grindelwald : It's what we said we'd do.
Albus Dumbledore : I was young. I was...
Gellert Grindelwald : Committed. To me. To us.
Albus Dumbledore : No. I went along because...
Gellert Grindelwald : Because?
Albus Dumbledore : Because I was in love with you.
Gellert Grindelwald : Yes. But that's not why you went along. It was you who said we could reshape the world. That is was our birthright.
Gellert Grindelwald : Can you smelli it? The stench.
Gellert Grindelwald : Do you really intend to turn your back on your own kind? For these animals?
Gellert Grindelwald : With or without you, I'll burn down their world, Albus.
Gellert Grindelwald : There's nothing you can do to stop me.
Gellert Grindelwald : Enjoy your cup of tea.
-
Albus Dumbledore : You know what this is, of course.
Theseus Scamander : Newt had it in Paris. I can't say I have much experience with such things, but it looks to me to be a blood troth.
Albus Dumbledore : That would be correct.
Theseus Scamander : And whose blood is contained within?
Albus Dumbledore : Mine. And Grindelwald's.
Theseus Scamander : I'm assuming that's why you can't move against him?
Albus Dumbledore : Yes. Nor he against me.
Theseus Scamander : Can I ask, what would possess you to make such a thing?
Albus Dumbledore : Love. Arrogance. Naivete. Pick your poison. We were young, we were going to transform the world. This ensured that we would, even if one of us had a change of heart.
Theseus Scamander : And what would happen if you were to fight him?
Albus Dumbledore : [holding it up to eye level] It's really quite beautiful, you have to admit. Were I even to think about defying it...
[the pendant hums and flies off the chain, carving its way up a stone wall; as Dumbledore tries to control it with his wand, the chain around his arm begins to tighten]
Albus Dumbledore : It knows, you see.
Newt Scamander : Albus.
Albus Dumbledore : It senses the betrayal in my heart.
Newt Scamander : Albus.
[the chain tightens around Dumbledore's throat]
Newt Scamander : Albus.
Albus Dumbledore : [as he calms down, the pendant flies back to his hand] That would be the least of it. Young man's magic, but as you can see, powerful magic. It can't be undone.
-
Albus Dumbledore : Has Newt told you why you're here?
Theseus Scamander : Was he meant to?
Albus Dumbledore : No. As a matter of fact.
Newt Scamander : There's something that we, uh... that, uh, Dumbledore wishes to speak to you about.
-
Albus Dumbledore : [the Qilin selects him for the International Confederation of Wizards] I'm honored. But just as two of you were born that night, there's another here, equally worthy. I'm certain of it.
