12. Audrey Tautou as Amelie Poulain in Amelie"Nino is late. Amelie can only see two explanations. 1 - he didn't get the photo. 2 - before he could assemble it, a gang of bank robbers took him hostage. The cops gave chase. They got away... but he caused a crash. When he came to, he'd lost his memory. An ex-con picked him up, mistook him for a fugitive, and shipped him to Istanbul. There he met some Afghan raiders who too him to steal some Russian warheads. But their truck hit a mine in Tajikistan. He survived, took to the hills, and became a Mujaheddin. Amelie refuses to get upset for a guy who'll eat borscht all his life in a hat like a tea cozy."

10. Joseph Gordan Levitt as Brendan Frye in Brick"Nah, Bulls would gum it, Then flash their dusty standards at the wide-eyes and probably find some yegg to pin, probably even the right one, But they'd trample the real tracks, scare the real players back into their holes. If we're doing this I want the whole story. No cops, not for a bit.

1. Nathan Fillion as Malcolm Reynolds in Serenity"I look out for me and mine. That don't include you 'less I conjour it does. Now you stuck a thorn in the Alliance's paw. That tickles me a bit. But it also means I have to step twice as fast and that means turnin' down plenty of jobs, even honest ones. I put this crew together with the promise of work, which the alliance makes harder every year. Come a day there won't be room for naughty men like us to slip about at all. This job goes south, there well may not be another. So here is us, on the raggedy edge. Don't push me, and I won't push you."
