i am writing a paper and i want to write something that was said in the movie how do i give credit ?

You need to have each source of information cited in TWO places:

1. the Works Cited page that is placed after the last page of your paper, and
2. in parentheses in the text of your paper, immediately after the quotation or paraphrase.

For example, this would go on the Works Cited page (with proper indentation for the second and following lines):

Du Bois, W.E.B. The Souls of Black Folk. Chicago, 1903. Project Bartleby. Ed. Steven van Leeuwen. Dec. 1995. Columbia U. 2 Dec. 2003
<www.cc.columbia.edu/acis/bartleby/dubois/>.

... and this would go immediately after the quotation or whatever:
(Du Bois)

The information in parentheses in the text needs to be as brief as possible. That's why there's a Works Cited page – for all the details of the listing.

This is another good place for information on citing in MLA format:

Hold your cursor over the words CITING SOURCES in the left column and then click on whatever type of source you need help with. Many examples will show up. You will get two examples for each type of reference – one for the Works Cited page and one for the parenthetical (in-text) citation.

You can also see what a Works Cited page looks like – click on Sample Works Cited in the left column.

When referencing a quote from a movie in your paper, it is important to give proper credit to the original source. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to provide citation for a movie quote:

1. Identify the movie: Start by providing the title of the movie in italics or using quotation marks. It is also common to include the year of release in parentheses—either directly after the title or at the end of the citation.

2. Indicate the speaker: Mention the name of the character who spoke the quote, followed by the actor's name. In some cases, you may only have the character's name available.

3. Include the quote: Insert the exact quote you want to incorporate into your paper. Enclose it within double quotation marks.

4. Mention the context: Depending on the relevance, it can be helpful to provide brief context around the quote, such as the scene or situation it occurs in.

5. Add an in-text citation: Immediately after the quote or at the end of the sentence, include an in-text citation. This usually consists of the director's last name, followed by a timestamp indicating the time the quote occurs in the movie.

6. Create a Works Cited or Reference page: At the end of your paper, provide a complete citation for the movie as a whole. This includes the director's name, movie title, release year, and possibly any relevant production or distribution companies.

Note that citation styles may vary depending on the formatting guidelines you are following (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago). Make sure to adjust your citations accordingly.
