A scene from Paramount's 2004 remake of "The Manchurian Candidate", near the final act of the film, when Liev Schreiber's Raymond Shaw and Denzel Washington's Ben Marco have the following exchange:
Raymond: "Are we friends, Ben? I want to believe we were friends."
Ben: "We are connected, and that's something nobody can take from us. You could have had me locked up, but you didn't. That's proof that there's something deep inside. There's a part that they can't get to. And it's deep inside us, and that is where the truth is. That's our only hope. That's what you and me need to tap into -- and that's what you and I are gonna use to take them out, Raymond."
In plain text, it may not seem like much, but in the context of the entire film, and as delivered by Schreiber and Washington, it's the one part of the movie I remember vividly from seeing it in the theater back in 2004. I did purchase both the DVD and the Blu-ray.
