Conan the Barbarian (1982) Edit

A conqueror.

A man who would someday be king by his own hand.

A sorcerer who can summon demons.

A symbol.

Afraid to bare yourself? Why?

Agreed?

Ah.

Ah. Can you be ?

ALL : Doom, Doom, Doom.

All manner of pleasures and diversions were indulged.

All my life, I've been alone.

All that is evil, all that have eyes...

And fire and wind struck down these giants...

And he also came to know the pleasures of women...

And my own daughter has fallen under this Thulsa Doom's spell.

And that is what grieves me the most.

And this one was thrust into a father's heart...

And unto this, Conan...

And we who found it...

And who says you will?

And yet the spring wind blows, Subotai.

And you?

As we speak, my daughter travels east...

Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis...

Black lotus. Stygian. The best.

Black sun, black moon.

Brother.

But always there remained the discipline of steel.

But Crom is your god. Crom, and he lives in the earth.

But I always passed by.

But in their rage, the gods forgot the secret of steel...

But you know, success can test one's mettle...

But you know, success can test one's mettle...

Can you believe that? Huh?

Can you summon demons, wizard?

Chew it slowly. It's the good stuff.

Come to me, my child.

Come. Let's leave this place.

Conan?

Could we talk over there...

Crom laughs at your four winds. Laughs from his mountain.

Crom was angered, and the earth shook.

Crom.

Crom.

Crom...

Crossroads of the world.

CROWD : Doom.

CROWD : Doom.

Dinner for wolves.

Do flowers grow around here?

Do you know what horrors lie beyond that wall?

Do you not wish to warm yourself by my fire?

Does it always smell like this? How does the wind ever get in here?

Domains once glittered like the light on the windy sea.

Doom.

Doom.

Doom.

Doom.

Doom.

Drink.

Eh, it's just as I've always said.

Facing each other...

Father!

Fire and wind come from the sky...

Fire won't burn there. No fire at all.

Flowers?

Flowers.

Food.

For a girl.

For no one, no one in this world, can you trust.

For us, there is no spring.

For who now is your father if it is not me?

From the north, a man of great strength.

Get them!

Give me food so I have strength when the wolves come.

Go.

Go. Go. You're free.

Good thieves could do that, but not vengeful ones.

Good.

Grant me revenge.

Harm my flesh and you will have to deal with the dead.

Have you ever felt such a wind?

Have you ever ridden one of those things before?

Have you ever seen this before?

He did not care anymore.

He doesn't listen.

He is Conan, Cimmerian.

He is the everlasting sky.

He mattered.

He raised that snake from the time it was born.

He said you were a wizard.

He was taken to the East, a great prize...

He will come for me, and when he does, he will kill you.

He won't cry.

He's the high priest, second only to Thulsa Doom.

Help him.

Hey, old man. Where'd you get this stuff?

Hey!

Hey.

Hey. Fire won't burn up there. No fire at all.

His followers' only purpose is to die in his service.

His was a tale of sorrow.

Hold me.

How about two snakes coming together over a black sun?

How do you expect to reach emptiness without knowing your own body?

Hyah!

I am afraid and I am shy.

I am afraid.

I am the wellspring from which you flow.

I gave you this.

I have never had so much as now.

I have no tongue for it.

I have not eaten for days.

I have talked to Subotai and he agrees.

I have watched you.

I know nothing.

I pray to the four winds.

I remember days like this when my father took me to the forest...

I salute you.

I see you.

I sing of the tales of battles, heroes, witches and women.

I sing to them on nights when they wish.

I thought there were three.

I was just a boy of 4 or 5.

I would look into the huts and the tents of others in the coldest dark...

I would sell Haga to a slayer such as you?

I would summon a demon more ferocious than all in hell.

I'll see what's here. Go find out what's below.

If I die, I have to go before him...

If I don't know it, he will cast me out of Valhalla and laugh at me.

If I were dead and you still fighting for life, I'd come back from the darkness...

Iím so cold.

In even worse company.

In the north of every man's heart.

In time, his victories could not easily be counted.

In your hand you hold my light...

Is there a dagger such as this in her hand for me?

Is this, uh, your robe?

It is said that they are deceivers. They murder people in the night.

It must have been when I was younger.

It was here that I met my master.

It was never known, for their leader rode to the south...

It would only lead me back here another day.

Itís never too late, Subotai.

Just men.

Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm.

Keep...

Kill them!

Kiss me.

Language and writing were made available.

Let me breathe my last breath into your mouth.

Let me die not in hunger...

Let me tell you of the days of high adventure.

Let us take the world by the throat and make it give us what we desire.

Let's take what we have while we live.

Life and death...

Lions ate him?

Lions ate him.

Look around you.

Look at the strength of your body, the desire in your heart.

Many caves.

Many times I've faced my death with no one to know.

MASTER: Sit here.

Mounds have been here since the time of the Titans.

My child.

My fear is that my sons will never understand me.

No one would ever know that my lord's people had lived at all.

No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad.

No rest, no sleep like other men.

No, don't kill me!

No!

No!

No! No!

No.

No.

No.

No. Let's waste no time.

Nobody bothers me down here.

Not even Thulsa Doom.

Not men, not women, not beasts.

Now they will know why they are afraid of the dark.

Now they will learn why they fear the night.

Now, everywhere.

Oil the sword and feed the horse.

Once a powerful Northman like my lord...

Once, but long ago.

Once, great men lived here. Giants, gods.

One who would crush the snakes of the earth

Only the girl. We kill Thulsa Doom another day.

People have no grasp of what they do.

Perhaps on a shield.

Perhaps, but whatever...

Please, let someone else pass by in the night.

Priest's robe?

PRINCESS: Doom!

PRINCESS: He will kill you. He has seen your fires.

Probably for a mere night's pleasure. Hmm?

Rexor says that you gave it to a girl.

REXOR: Kill that one!

Said to have riches without end and the greatest jewel of all...

Shall I tell you? It's the least I can do.

She follows him as a slave...

She is to be his.

Sit here.

Snakes in my beautiful city.

Snakes? Did you say snakes?

Snakes. Everywhere, these evil towers.

So cold.

So I cry for him.

So this is paradise.

So, what are you doing here?

Sometime soon, perhaps tonight, they'll try to take him.

Steal my daughter back. Take all you can carry.

Steel isn't strong, boy. Flesh is stronger.

Stop! Stop!

Such a waste.

That beautiful girl.

That in the back of the mountain, there's a gorge.

That is good.

That is good.

That is power.

That is strength, boy.

That one.

That's all you'll ever need.

That's Crom, strong on his mountain.

That's so hard to find in this world.

That's why I live down here in the wind.

The ashes were trampled into the earth...

The children of Doom. Doom's children.

The dead.

The gods are pleased with you. They will watch the battle. Heh.

The grass smelled sweet with the spring wind.

The infidel defilers...

The leaves were so dark and green then.

The leaves were so dark and green then.

The old man says the Mountain of Power is hollow.

The only snakes I know of are those of Set, in those cursed towers.

The open steppe...

The poetry of Khitai, the philosophy of Sung.

The purging is at last at hand.

The riddle of steel.

The secret of steel has always carried with it a mystery.

The spirits of this place extract a heavy toll.

The strength and power of flesh.

The wizard. I told him I would pay the gods.

Then I will pay them.

Then you go first.

There are dangers, but I see you care little for those.

There comes a time, thief, when the jewels cease to sparkle...

There, on the rocks.

There's a price, barbarian.

There's more. There's much more. Enough to become kings yourselves.

There's warmth and fire.

These are the thieves you have requested, sire.

These are the thieves you have requested, sire.

They blow where I live too.

They call it the Fangs of the Serpent.

They have spread to every city.

They live in the Tower of the Serpent.

They said you would come.

They say Thulsa Doom's a thousand years old.

They shall all be cleansed.

They told him to throw down his sword and return to the earth.

They told my lord the way to the Mountain of Power.

They're all sluts.

They're gone!

They're gone.

Thieves.

This better not be Haga.

This flame will burn away the darkness...

This is good. But what is best in life?

This Mountain of Power where he lives is said to be impregnable.

This place is kept by powerful gods and spirits of kings.

This you can trust.

Thorgrim is beside himself with grief.

Those who have lied...

Thulsa Doom lives in the mountain.

Thulsa Doom. I've chafed for years at this demigod.

Time enough for the earth in the grave.

To Crom.

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you...

To the hellfires with Thulsa Doom. He's evil.

To the west, Nemedia, Aquilonia. To the south, Koth, Stygia.

Two fools who laugh at death.

Two snakes coming together.

Two, three years ago, it was just another snake cult.

Uh, our companion, he died in the gardens. Lions ate him.

VALERIA: Princess.

Valor pleases you, Crom, so grant me one request.

We're thieves, heh, like yourself.

We've won again.

Weapons of steel or murder?

What daring! What outrageousness! What insolence! What arrogance!

What do you see?

What else does he say?

What gods do you pray to?

What good is he, then?

What is steel compared to the hand that wields it?

What will your world be without me?

When I am gone...

Where do you think you're going, brother?

Where is the Eye of the Serpent?

Who among you still fears death?

Who are you?

Who gave you the will to live?

Who will not face emptiness?

Why we fought or why we died.

Why, Rexor himself has come before me, threatened me, the king.

Why, yes, brother. Of course.

With With a sun and a moon below.

Wrong! Conan, what is best in life?

Yes, it's all I have.

Yes! I strike at you.

Yes.

Yes.

You alone have stood up to their guards. And what are you?

You and I, we have warmth.

You broke into my house, stole my property...

You have come to me, my son.

You have no idea how long it's been there.

You know what it is, don't you, boy?

You know what you've done?

You looking for snakes?

You must learn it, little Conan. You must learn its discipline.

You see this?

You should be proud of your body.

You took my father's sword.

You will...

You, my children, are the water...

You.

You're so big and so well grown.

You're too big to be a thief.

Your god lives underneath him.

Zamora.

A pittance to protect you from evil. I am evil. Heh.

And if they succeed If they succeed, you'll follow.

Are they going to help? No. Ha, ha.

Eh, my god is greater. Heh, heh.

Infidel! CROWD: Infidel!

Well, then tell them to stay out of the way. Aah! Ha ha ha.

What is it you seek? A standard.

What on earth could smell so bad? Do you wanna live forever?

You are not a guard. Neither are you.

... and all that is left is a father's love for his child.

... and be off before she's missed in the darkness.

... and corrupted the earth.

... and he will ask me, "What is the riddle of steel?"

... and I would see figures holding each other in the night.

... and the blood became as snow.

... and the rise of the sons of Aryas...

... and they took from him the enigma of steel.

... and to hear the lamentation of their women.

... and we ate wild blueberries.

... are just men.

... as if I could not give it to her.

... as surely as the strongest adversary.

... back from the pit of hell to fight at your side.

... but now old and sotted.

... by his very son.

... destined to bear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia...

... falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair.

... find what you want...

... fleet horse...

... freedom, so long an unremembered dream, was his.

... I have never prayed to you before.

... in Zamora.

... me... .

... murdered my servants and my pets.

... seeking for the truth of her soul...

... that had been kept too long.

... that perhaps my lord was like a wild animal...

... that will wash away all that has gone before.

... the Eye of the Serpent.

... the same.

... there was an age undreamed of.

... they shall all drown in lakes of blood.

... those who would call themselves your judges.

... to Thulsa Doom and his Mountain of Power.

... to Thulsa Doom and his Mountain of Power.

... upon a troubled brow.

... warm.

... when he was bred to the finest stock.

... when the gold loses its luster...

... when the throne room becomes a prison...

... where the others cannot see?

... where the war masters would teach him the deepest secrets.

... while children went north with the Vanir.
