"There cannot be two skies." - Dak'kon, Planescape: Torment
These five words, usually spoken when Dak'kon casts a spell, always move me when I hear them delivered in Mitch Pileggi's somber tones.
They are spoken softly, but with a powerful, firm belief behind them. You might not know what they mean, you might not know why they are so important, but you can tell just by listening that they are significant to Dak'kon, precious, and they give him strength.

At the end of Scott Pilgrim - the film, that is - the camera pans up with Winter turning to Spring and you see the "Continue?" countdown in the sky as the opening drum fills of 'Ramona' play, then on 0 the song begins and the credits roll. Just thinking about it makes my forearms tingle.
Holy fuck...MindBullets said:
Brb, I am gonna watch this with a glass of Jameson 12 year...

OP: Any speech with an overwhelming amount of conviction in the speaker's voice, will give me chills.
Here is one that is especially good:

Here is a king. Here is a man that can look at a hundred thousand orcs, and say to himself "thats it?". Here is a person that can change the tide of battle with one charge, that can inspire his men to do impossible acts, and can lead his mean into certain death, but do so with honor and mother fucking conviction.
Spoiler: The book is even better.
Would you kindly
Thought of more:
"Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet."
Also, this.
Oh god this:
"Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world - "No, you move."

"I'm through playin' nice...if you don't cough 'im up, I'm gonna get my friends, and we're burnin' this town to the ground, GOT IT?" Always gets a little giddy giggle from me.
I hope you'll forgive the video spam, but umm... I couldn't choose just one. So I'm just going to leave these here. Take your pick.
If anyone needs me, I shall be over here trying not to get shivered right out of my chair and resisting the urge to snarl at the screen from sheer exhilaration.

"This place is not a place of honor?no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here? nothing valued is here.
This place is a message? and part of a system of messages? pay attention to it!
Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.
What is here is dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger."
It's real. Planned to be inscribed in every major language on the entrances to nuclear disposal sites.

"You don't butt in line! You don't steal! You don't molest little children! You don't deal drugs! The rules haven't changed!
That gets me every time.
