# Charlie's Angels (2019 film)

Charlie's Angels is a 2019 film about Elena Houghlin, a scientist, engineer and inventor of Calisto -- a sustainable energy source that will revolutionize the way people use power. But when the cutting edge technology falls into the wrong hands, Elena turns to the Townsend Agency for help. Now, it's up to the Angels -- Jane, Sabina and the newly recruited Elena -- to retrieve Calisto before it can be transformed into a weapon of mass destruction. It serves as a continuation of the television series of the same name and the two films.
    Written, directed and produced by Elizabeth Banks.

## Dialogue

    [the phone rings and Elena picks it up]
    Elena: Hello?
    Bosley: Charlie sends love. You're in grave danger. Get out of there now!
    Elena: [turns to Sabina and Jane] Guys?
    [the building explodes]
    Rebekah: You old codger. You really thought we were gonna let you just sneak away quietly.
    Bosley: You didn't have to.
    Rebekah: It's not just me.
    [the room lights up and the screens turn on to reveal other Bosleys]
    Bosleys: Surprise!
    Jane: I need you to exhibit some attention-seeking behavior.
    Sabina: I have so many ideas.
    Sabina: Wait, why would Bosley wanna take Elena to Brok?
    Rebekah: Bringing the Birdman back to Alcatraz, I guess.
    [pause]
    The Saint: The who?
    Rebekah: It's a movie. Burt Lancaster.
    Sabina: Birdman. Michael Keaton.
    Rebekah: No, Michael Keaton is Batman.
    The Saint: No, Ben Affleck is Batman.
    Rebekah: I mean, is he? Am I really the only person who knows who Burt Lancaster is?
    Sabina: I'm concussed.
    Rebekah: It doesn't matter. It's an old movie. It's from, like...
    The Saint: How old are you?
    Rebekah: How old am I? What? That has nothing to do with it.
    The Saint: I don't have your references.
    Rebekah: There are film buffs of all ages.
    Jane: [referring to Elena] Let's go get our girl.
    Elena: Hey, can I take these mints? [she picks up the mints, but the Saint drops them]
    The Saint: No! Avoid the mints. Actually, let's just stop the touching around here. You know, some of this blows up.
    Brok: [on the screen of an iPad, he sees Ralph by the garage door lying dead] Oh, well, that's a shame. [he turns around to reveal he's on the phone] Obviously, this is a disappointing setback, but we have time. You know what, j-just get John on the phone. Now. [pause] Well then, wake him up. [pause, then he throws his phone in the pond] AAAAAAAAHHH!!!
    Biker: Everything alright?
    Brok: [points angrily for a moment, then calms down quickly] Can I have your phone?
    Elena: [turns around to find Sabina and Jane in the same disguise] How did you even get in the... [notices an ID card] Oh, God. What did you do to Pradeep?
    Sabina: Nothing. Pradeep's fine. I nabbed his ID card from the gym this morning.
    Elena: [turns to Jane] And Sven?
    Jane: I compressed his carotid and deoxygenated his brainstem.
    Elena: What? Well, that sounds painful.
    Jane: Yeah, it's like taking a nap. You smell burnt toast then everything goes dark.
    Sabina: Hey, don't worry, he's going to wake up.
    Jane: Unless he doesn't.
    Rebekah: [as she walks downstairs] How we doin' down here? Ah, we're still in the first closet.
    Elena: There's another closet?
    Rebekah: Hm. Armory open.
    [the wall opens to reveal the second closet]
    Bosley: I've spent an entire career estimating the talents of women. And you, my dear, are marvelously clever.
    Elena: You betrayed them. You betrayed the Angels.
    Bosley: Well, I no longer work for the Townsend Agency. I was...retired. [picks up Calisto] So you are going to show me how to hack this and reprogram root access... [places it down] ...to me.
    Elena: You thought Fleming could do it. He always had a habit for claiming credit he didn't deserve.
    Bosley: How long will it take?
    Elena: Forever. I'm not touching it. [Hodak pulls on her chain]
    Bosley: Ha ha! You think you have a choice? It's adorable.
    Elena: [softly, referring to the Angels] They'll send--They'll send love. [Hodak bent closer to listen] They'll send love [she bites Hodak's ear]
    Bosley: Ooh, feisty! You've been studying. [pause] I hope they come.
    Sabina: [while punching Australian Jonny thrice] You stole aid money from woman and children and refugees!
    Jane: It's called embezzlement.
    Sabina: [flips over] "Embezzlement"? That's fancy.
