View Full Version : Movie Quotes You Use
This was done on the Original SDMB, but it's been some time and we have many additions to our crazy and dysfuntional family of Dopers. So I thought it time to start it up again.
" You owe me two dollars." - From one of John Cusacks Movies.
When someone asks me how long (the repair or whateve) will take, I respond

Actually it's
I want my two dollars.
from Better Off Dead
one of my favorites
My most common quote is one of the following pair:
"I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. Its the only way to be sure."
or the short form (much more repeatable):
"I saw we nuke the site from orbit. Only way to be sure."
This is usually said when involving stupid computer problems. At these times, I would very much like to nuke the site from orbit. Often, the "site" is Redmond.
Every morning when I find there is no coffee in the coffee pot i like to say

I also like
"I'd horsewhip you If I had a horse"
and

from groucho marx (in Duck Soup I believe)

"I don't want any plastics and I don't want any ground floors"
Jimmy Stewart It's a wonderful life.

To deal with men by force is as impractical as to deal with nature by persuasion.

P: I'm 37.
KA: What?
P: I'm 37, I'm not old!
Also, since the commercial must have damaged my brain, I've been saying "Do I make you horny?" in the style of Austin Powers. Guess you have to be there (or here).

" I mean it, sincerely." Stand by me.
" You'll shoot your eye out." Christmas Story. ( whenever some one is trying something new.)
This is, IMHO, one of the best quotes of the last 10 years. When asked if she went to her class reunion, Joan Cusack (Grosse Pointe Blank) replies: " Yeah, everyone looked the same, only bloated."
When asked to spell and prounce my last name, I say, " It's spelled Such and Such, but it's pronounced, Luxury-Yacht." (Monty Pyton)

and
220, 240, whatever it takes"
-electrical advice from Tom Hanks in "Mr. Mom"
...I'm pretty sure this was from Michael Keaton.
Don't you hate nitpickers?
Thanks, Papabear!
I was going to say "The Graduate," but some inner vision of Richard Benjamin being addressed changed my mind!
You're also right about Michael Keaton--well, they did look similar, and it was about 15 years ago!!
Here's a couple of obscure ones: can you name the films?
"If you dare speak to an officer like that again, I shall scream the house down!"
"For God's sake, Barrow, are you a man or a book?"
------------------
"A friend will help you move house. A best friend will help you move a body."--Alexi Sayle
quote:
"Badges? We don't need no stinking badges"--Blazing Saddles
...which Mel Brooks stole from John Houston's "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre".
Of course there is the more obscure "Badgers? We don't need no stinking badgers!" from Wierd Al's fabulous "VHF". Rent it this weekend if you haven't seen it!
A few others i just thought of:
Whenever my wife is being particularily demanding i like to say:
"Yes Love, whatever love wants love gets"
See Who's afraid of Virginia Woolfe, you'll understand
I also had a Doctor who's last name was Jones and every time I saw him i'd whip out:

"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt."
Abraham Lincoln
Some people have posted some good quotes, but they don't really tell when they use them (not that that was part of the OP or anything). I just love using quotes to tell someone something specific:
"Luke, why have you switched off your targetting computer?" - Star Wars - said to anyone whenever they are taking matters into their own hands
"You keep using that word... I do not think it means what you think it means." - The Princes Bride - applicable to anyone who has some term/definition screwed up
"You done smoke yourself retarded." - Half-Baked - think this one should be obvious
(more later)
"...like a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there!"
Stand and Deliver
I'm drawing a blank on movie quotes, can I use Simpsons' quotes??
Grandpa Simpson: "Dogs wag their tails for hours after they die!"
Grandpa: "If grandpa says the dog is dead, it must be alive!"

Beekeeper #2: "You mean your Chevy?"
Beekeeper #1: "...Yes."
Grandpa: "Death stalks you at every turn... DEATH!"
Lisa: "Grandpa, that's Maggie."
Grandpa: "Oh, you're right. At my age, the mind starts to play tricks on you...DEATH!"
Lisa: "Grandpa, that's the cat."
Grandpa: "Oh... DEATH!"
Lisa: "That's Maggie again."
Homer: "Less artsy, more fartsy!"
And from Ralphie Wiggums:
My cat's name is Mittens.
My cat's breath smells like cat food.
Hi, Lisa, we're going to be a pie!
Oh boy, sleep! That's where I'm a viking!
When I grow up, I'm going to Bovine University!
I bent my Wookie.
The doctor says I wouldn't get so many nosebleeds if I just keep my finger out of there.
Oh, can I do Blackadder, too?
Captain Blackadder, from Blackadder Goes Forth: "While I, on the other hand, being a well-rounded individual, have received a degree from the University of Life, a diploma from the School of Hard Knocks, and 3 gold stars from the kindergarten of getting the shit kicked out of me." My all time favorite :)
------------------

I'm sure there are more, and I'm sure this thread will still be here when I think of them.
From "Army of Darkness":
"Groovy!"
"You ain't leading nothing now but Jack and shit. And Jack left town."
From "Billy Madison":
"If peeing your pants is cool, just call me Miles Davis."
Some people have posted some good quotes, but they don't really tell when they use them (not that that was part of the OP or anything).
OK...
"Over to you, red leader one." --- The Magic Christian
(Whenever I hand off a project or problem to another of our analysts.)

"Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering kaboom!" --- Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2th Century

just a few more for the list... maybe I will add more later

To deal with men by force is as impractical as to deal with nature by persuasion.
"I will simply deny you the crown and--LIVE FOREVER!" --Ever After
Stolen from The Lion in Winter, BTW. I can't find the original, just flipping through it, but I believe it is "Let's deny them both and live forever." It's said by Eleanor to Henry. They have been arguing about whether John (Henry's choice) or Richard (Eleanor's choice) will inherit the throne.
I don't quote too many films-- but The Lion in Winter-- I love to toss off "It's 1183, and we're barbarians." OK, no one gets it, and I look weird. Sue me.
------------------
------------
--Rowan
Shopping is still cheaper than therapy. --my Aunt Franny
"Crying! There's no crying in baseball" Tom Hanks movie w/ women baseball players...Geena Davis, Madonna...?
My vet's favorite movie. A League of Their Own. When it first came out, I could never get it right. I kept calling it A League of One's Own....
------------------
------------
--Rowan
Shopping is still cheaper than therapy. --my Aunt Franny
"We can't stop here! This is bat country!" Used when in a bad part of the nation (so it's a book quote, so sue me).
------------------
"If A=B, B=C, and C=D, do not get a job proofreading" --Quid's Theorem
"Now I'll never be a teen model!" --The Brady Bunch Movie (after suffering some personal injury)
"Do you like the Wizard of Oz?" --Christmas Story (in forced get-to-know-ya situations)
"Want to touch the hiney!" --Billy Madison (when viewing an attractive woman)
"I claim this swamp in the name of Poland" --The Ninth Configuration (when marking territory)

"My nuts are halfway up my ass, but other than that, I'm perfect!" --Weird Science (when driving too fast)
"Get me a chunky." --Throw Momma from the Train (when someone's going somewhere)
"When I get angry, Mr. Bigglesworth gets upset. And when Mr. Bigglesworth gets upset... people die!" --Austin Powers (when I get angry...)
------------------
"Anything is peaceful from one thousand, three hundred and fifty-three feet."
Drain, ibid. is short for ibidem, which is Latin for "in the same place." The other commonly used phrase is op. cit., short for operr citato ("in the work cited").
Shirly, considering your name, I can't believe you didn't mention the most obivious quote of all:
"Surely you can't be serious."
"I am serious, and don't call me Shirley."
Oh, well, if we're going to do Blackadder quotes:
They do say, Mrs Miggins, that verbal insults hurt more than physical pain, they are of course wrong, as you will soon discover when I stick this toasting fork in your head.
You know, Blackadder, for me socks are like sex. Lots of it about and I never seem to get any.
I'm as happy as a Frenchman who has just invented a pair of self removing trousers!
"...like a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there!"
Stand and Deliver--when observing someone who's groping for the obvious.
Grandpa Simpson: "Dogs wag their tails for hours after they die!" Just a good non-sequitor I like to toss out.
Grandpa: "If grandpa says the dog is dead, it must be alive!" Some days it just seems like you're never right...
Beekeeper #1: "To the bee-mobile!"
Beekeeper #2: "You mean your Chevy?"
Beekeeper #1: "...Yes." This one is fun on your way out to the car if someone will do the Beekeeper #2 line for you.
Grandpa: "Death stalks you at every turn... DEATH!"
Lisa: "Grandpa, that's Maggie."
Grandpa: "Oh, you're right. At my age, the mind starts to play tricks on you...DEATH!"
Lisa: "Grandpa, that's the cat."
Grandpa: "Oh... DEATH!"
Lisa: "That's Maggie again." -- My sister and I used to love to do multiple part quotes, one of us would just utter a line at random and the other would run with it, but we've fallen out of the habit since we haven't lived under the same roof in about 4 years. Even then, we didn't do the DEATH! one line for line, we'd usually just point to random objects and screech DEATH! for no apparent reason. It's always fun to point at housepets and shriek DEATH! because, a.) you look like an idiot for being scared of your own dog, and 2.) pointing and shrieking at them excites them :) I don't do multiple part quotes with my husband, though, because he never gets it.
One from Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, that I've attempted to train my husband to do when we part for work each morning:
Ben: "I bid you adieu."
Dr. Katz: "I'll see that 'dieu' and raise you a toodle-loo." -- As I said, he doesn't get it.
Homer: "Less artsy, more fartsy!" When impatient.
And from Ralphie Wiggums (these are all good non-sequitors):
My cat's name is Mittens.
My cat's breath smells like cat food.
Hi, Lisa, we're going to be a pie!
Oh boy, sleep! That's where I'm a viking!
When I grow up, I'm going to Bovine University!
I bent my Wookie.
The doctor says I wouldn't get so many nosebleeds if I just keep my finger out of there.
And, of course, this is perfect when it's necessary to demonstrate that there's more to education than fancy-schmancy book learnin' (except I can never get through it without ruining it by giggling):
Captain Blackadder, from Blackadder Goes Forth: "While I, on the other hand, being a well-rounded individual, have received a degree from the University of Life, a diploma from the School of Hard Knocks, and 3 gold stars from the kindergarten of getting the shit kicked out of me."
------------------
"I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it," Jack Handy
my sister and I are movie line junkies, and often play off each others references (which makes for great looks in public!)
"Were you out on the lake today kissing your brain?"- The Man With Two Brains- used when inquiring of each others whereabouts
"He'll keep calling, and calling...OK, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go"- Ferris B. Day Off - our usual answering maching message for each other.

More to come..

" I don't know nuthin' 'bout birthin' babies, Miss Scarlet!" GWTW - (Whenever the question falls to me if I know how to fix something or do something of which I haven't a clue of how to do it.)
More later...please stand by....
With two Ferris Bueller quotes, I'm suprised that I didn't see Ben Stein's:
"Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?"
Seems like everyone uses that one :)
"We can't stop here! This is bat country!" Used when in a bad part of the nation (so it's a book quote, so sue me). -- TMR
I love that quote. :) They made it into a movie, so you are in the clear.
"Where are we going?"
"Planet 10!"
"When are we going?"
"Real soon!" -- Buckaroo Bonzai
John: My God, if I went up in flames, there's not a living soul who'd pee on me to put the fire out!
Richard: Let's strike a flint and see.
"The Lion in Winter"
****************************
I carry twenty-three great wounds all got in battle. Seventy-five men
have I killed with my own hands in battle. I scatter, I burn my enemies' tents. I take away their flocks and herds. The Turks pay me a golden tresure, yet I am poor! Because *I* am a river to my people!
Auda Abu Tayi, "Lawrence of Arabia"
************************************
[In jail]
Susan Vance: Anyway, David, when they find out who we are they'll let us out.
David Huxley: When they find out who *you* are they'll pad the cell.
"Bringing Up Baby"

Max: War, murder, death -- all the same to you as bottles of beer, and the daily business of life is a corrupt comedy. You even shatter the sensation of time and space into split seconds, instant replays. You're madness, Diana. Virile madness, and everything you touch dies with you. But not me. Not as long as I can feel pleasure and pain... and love.

"My hovercraft is full of eels."
Rodd, "If you dare speak to an officer like that again, I shall scream the house down!" sounds like Privates On Parade to me, do I get the prize?
My favourite quote, used pretty much anywhere, is "Oh yes, its a very nice" with a French accent, from the Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail.
------------------
It only hurts when I laugh.
My three favorite Holy Grail quotes that I do work into conversation whenever appropriate (or inappropriate, whichever is funnier):
"It's just a flesh wound!"
"I'm not dead yet!"
"I fart in your general direction!"
I just thought of another quote that I use on my husband whenever he's dumb enough to suggest I rise and shine:
"I'll rise, but I damn well won't shine," spoken by John Malkovich in The Glass Menagerie.
Another of Malkovich's lines from that movie that I've used to describe Ichabod Crane-looking guys (though I can't remember exactly how it's phrased):
"What he lacks in a chin, he makes up for in a nose."
------------------
"I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it," Jack Handy
Congrats, Moonshine! You have won my undying admiration (that and $1.50 will buy a cup of coffee).
"Privates" is one of my favorite obscure movies. Every old British Army joke, a few songs, and lots of profanity. All in all, a good night out. And how about that John Cleese singing bit over the final credits?!?
I also quote Professor Lizardo (Buckaroo Banzai):
"Laugh while you can, monkey-boy!"
and Oddball (Kelly's Heroes):
"Always with the negative waves, Moriarity."
------------------
"A friend will help you move house. A best friend will help you move a body."--Alexi Sayle
Ok, fine... I can't help it. I hafta join in on the Blackadder quotes!
The "toasting fork" quote was my sig for awhile on the AOL board. :)
M: Grey, I suspect Majesty.
Q: I think you'll find it was orange Lord Melchett.
M: Grey is more usual mam.
Q: Who's queen ?
M: As you say Majesty, there were these magnificent orange elephants which were coming.....
-- Black Adder II "Head"
"Who knows, or dares to dream!" -- Percey in Black Adder II "Money"
"Disease and depravation stalk our land like.. two giant.. stalking things." -- Black Adder III "Sense and Senility"
Obscure quotes? That's an idea too.
Who can guess this one?
"I suggest we kill it quickly before it tries to make friends with us!"
Not a movie quote, but while in university back in the '80s, I used to play "Risk", and if anyone was too slow or indecisive about moving troops, one of us would quote Bugs Bunny:
"Pssst, Nappy! Put the artillery over here!"
Not really a movie, but sorta --
My favorite line from "Mystery Science Theater 3000" is when this barbarian guy dramatically draws his sword and holds it up and the light is reflecting off it and the "commentator" goes -- "It's a letter opener; I made it in shop class." This is what I habitually say to anyone who asks "what's that?" No one ever gets the reference, and without the reference it's pretty much a non-sequitir.
Ooh, and I love the line in "Fools Rush In" where Matthew Perry's character is carrying a big stuffed swordfish through his office and some guy asks, "what's that?" "It's a keychain."
When I explain something to someone, and they still don't understand:
"and get some 30 weight ball bearings; hell, it's all ball bearings these days" -Fletch
actually, there are many from Fletch I and II
Did she feel ok last night?
Well, she felt pretty good to me
and my favorite "What's your job, Fletch?"
"I'm a shepherd"
plus about anything Yoda ever said
"You call him Dr. Jones." --Temple of Doom
When someone gets someone else's name wrong.
"My *name* is *Muerte*!" --Undercover Blues
When someone gets *your* name wrong.
"Two dollars!" --Better Off Dead (not the whole sentence, just the freaky way the kid says "Two dollars.")
When speaking of money owed.
"It's great to be young and insane." --The Dream Team
Whenever appropriate
"I love it when a plan comes together." Tyhe A Team (TV)
Whenever appropriate
"Laugh it up, fuzzball."
"Great, Chewy, great. Always thinking with your stomach."
"Will someone get this walking carpet out of my way."
"Let the wookie win."
And various other Chewbacca-related quotes.
"Group hug, group hug. Mind if I kiss the monkey? Ach, hairball." --Aladdin
"You know who that was? Clint Eastwood." --Crocodile Dundee II
------------------
"We're gonna have lawyers here. It'll be a fun time."
--R.R.S.
"A flute with no holes is not a flute...a donut without a hole is a danish....."
---Caddyshack
always good when teaching computer skills...especially if you add the Kung Fu sounds...

shiner bock
"When 900 years old you reach, look as good you will not, hmmm?" -- Yoda
I don't remember what movie this is from, but I have used this on occasion whenever I'm in the mood to insult somebody (usually for something they did or said that was just completely stupid)
"Did your parents have any children that lived?"
There are others, but they've already been mentioned above (namely, the "Where's my two dollars?" and "It's just a flesh wound")

The Wizard of OZ contains a plethora of useable quotes:
"Lions and tigers and bears, oh, my!" Said when walking near anything resembling a wooded area
"Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!" Various uses
"I'll get you, girlie, and your little dog, too!" When plotting revenge
"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto" When the situation changes

When anyone asks "What do you want" (or MST-ing Babylon 5):
(Ren voice) "I want a meeelion dollars and(heh..heh..) huuuge pectoral muscles."
From "Ren and Stimpy" (which has some good lines, but strangely enough, isn't as funny as it was when I was 15. )
If we're including quotes from t.v shows...
Star Trek: "I'm a doctor, not a janitor" (or a plumber or a pool guy or whatever, depends on the situation).

"I'm not even supposed to BE here today!!" from Clerks. I say this whenever I am at my wit's end over something, whether I was supposed to be "here" or not.
Almost any line from The Breakfast Club, in various situations.
"Sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'll never know cause I won't eat the filthy mother fucker." From Pulp Fiction, when I don't want to try a new food. There are lots of good lines from Pulp Fiction.
What a cool thread!
Shirley & Shadow, "Did your mother ever have any kids that lived?" is from "Stand By Me."
Some of my favorites:
"Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn!" --Better Off Dead
(used when giving directions)
"Where...is...my...automobile?" --Sixteen Candles (when trying to remember where I parked--if my sister's with me, she'll do the next line: "Au-to-mo-bile?")
"Run away! Run away!" --Monty Python and the Holy Grail (used in any situation that turns unpleasant)
My sister's fiance is an excellent movie-quoter. When I helped them move into a new apartment last summer, their cat was totally freaked out and managed to wedge herself behind the entertainment center. Scott's response upon seeing this was, "Mav, we got a problem here. That MiG really messed him up."
"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto" When the situation changes
I thought it was "Gosh, Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore!"
This always cracks me up, because back in college, I had a friend from Toto, Indiana. It's a real place. She had a dog named Kansas. I thought that was really, really clever, until one day I told her so, and she looked at me blankly.
So I said, "You take her on out-of-town trips, right? And then say 'Gosh, Kansas, I have a feeling we're not in Toto anymore.'"
She continued to look at me blankly.
And I had a feeling I wasn't in Kansas anymore.

The most famous film quote of all time, drum roll, is: "Bond, James Bond"
"Vodka martini! Shaken! Not stirred!"
"I suggest we kill it quickly before it tries to make friends with us!" Withnail and I? Ranks up there with "We want fine wines, we want the finest wines known to humanity, we want them here and we want them now." and the very creepy "I'm preparing myself to forgive you", both from the same film.

Mastery is not perfection but a journey, and the true master must be willing to try and fail and try again
Another Simpsons quote...
I call my husband my Homey; not that's he's as stupid as Homer, but... well... um... anyhoo, once we walked into a store that features lots of expensive pointless little doo-dads and dust collectors, and the item that he instantly fell in love was a clock or paperweight or something with a little plastic "aquarium" and little plastic fake fish bobbing around in it. The neat thing was, the fish had magnets or weights or something in them that caused them to bob along the bottom in the gravel and along the sides of the tank kinda like a real fish does, and their little tails moved back and forth to give the illusion of swimming.
I thought they were cute, but my husband was enthralled, and he said, in the most awed voice I've ever heard, "That is the most incredible thing I've ever seen!" I couldn't help myself. I blurted out, trying to sound equally awed, "The bird is drinking the water!" A reference to the Simpsons episode where Homer's brother Herb tries to give the family a presentation for his idea of a baby translator, but Homer is more interested in Herb's little bobbing dunking bird toy. "It's drinking the water!"
So "The bird is drinking the water!" has become my code phrase for, "Ok, it's neat, but take it down a notch or two, ok?" Ain't I mean?

"I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it," Jack Handy
It was, "I'm a blonde, B-L-A-N-D," wasn't it? If not, it should have been. Also the "It's only a flesh wound," line is from The Producers. I don't remember it from The Holy Grail, but even if it was there, it was in The Producers first.
Other good lines from The Producers:
"I'm wearing a cardboard belt!" (Anytime I'm feeling broke.)
"I'm in pain, I'm wet, and I'm still hysterical!" (When things get overwhelming.)
"I fell on my keys." (After doing something clumsy.)
"Don't help me." (When someone's "help" is actually making your situation worse.)
And of course the unforgettable song:
When it's springtime for Hitler and Germany,
It's winter for Poland and France!

"I enjoy pushing lawn-mowing machine so Grandpa's hyena don't get disturbed." --Sixteen Candles (when I'm getting ready to mow the lawn)
The "It's only a flesh wound" line was used in Holy Grail early on when King Arthur is battling the Black Knight. Despite losing all of his limbs, the Knight keeps egging Arthur on, all the while insisting he isn't really hurt.

That quote was borrowed from Arthur O'Shaughnessy's "Ode." Two other quotes from the film:
"Where is fancy bred, in the heart or in the head?"
"So shines a good deed in a weary world."
are from Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice."

"My hovercraft is full of eels."
I just watched Planes, Trains, and Automobiles last night and realized that one quote I use comes from that movie (obviously, I use it whenever anyone describes me as "unique"): "What's 'unique'? Latin for 'asshole'?"
My sister uses another line from that movie, obviously whenever anyone takes something of hers without asking: "You STOLE it! He STOLE it!" Of course this is accompanied by much finger pointing and arm waving.
And, in an uncomfortable situation: "How about those Bears?" "Hell of a game, hell of a game!"
Lots of fun lines from that movie :)

Good Heavens, Greg Charles! You need to watch Holy Grail again! Pay attention to the scene with King Arthur fighting the Black Knight.
Oh, yeah, now I remember. Still The Holy Grail was released in 1975, so credit for "It's only a flesh wound," still goes to The Producers (1968).
BTW, we're all friends here. You can call me Greg!
From Goodfellas: "Wuh, uh, Spider, Spider..." when someone is umming and ahhing and not getting to the point.
From Holy Grail: "It's not a question of where 'e *grips* it!" when someone has a cockeyed plan that they insist will work if you just do it *their* way.
From Planes, Trains and Automobiles: "What do you think the temperature is?"
(ruminative pause) "One?"
From Apocalypse Now: "Don't get off the boat. Don't get off the fuckin' boat!" when someone has to drive through a bad part of town.

Maybe you guys can help me -- There's a really early Val Kilmer film where he plays some scientific boy-genius -- it's a dumb movie, but I always remember the line:
"In the immortal words of Socrates: I drank what?"
??? Name of film???
Real Genius (1985). Good Flick. Much better than the similarly named movie of the same year: Weird Science (although, to be fair, Real Genius had no scenes involving Kelly LeBrock taking a shower).
Another good Val Kilmer line from that movie:
"Don't eat that. Eating that can cause very large breasts. Oh my God, I'm too late!"

Someone back there wondered where
"Did your parents have any children that survived?" comes from. It's from the most quotable movie of all time-Full Metal Jacket.
Other greats from this film:

Only steers and queers come from Texas!
I bet you could suck a golf ball through a garden hose!

Just commenting on man's inhumanity to man sir.
(Extremely good quote to blow someone off)
Fifteen dollar. Any thing you want....
(In fact, the prostitute's entire spiel is beautiful)
Oh, me so horny!
Me love you long time!
No boom-boom with soul brother. He too boku.
(And just be be gross)
I don't know but I've been told
Eskimo pussy is mighty cold
When my dear husband asks me to get something for him:
"Heed! Pahnts!" - Mike Myers as Stuart Mackenzie in So I Married an Axe Murderer
When anyone does something stupid:
"Fokkin' Eedjit!" - Anyone in The Commitments
When saying "Good Night":
"Sleep well and dream of large women..." - Cary Elwes as Westley in The Princess Bride
Just for the Hell of it:
"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You kill my father. Prepare to die." - Mandy Patinkin in The Princess Bride
------------------
Most common question I ask: "What?"
Most common question I get: "Are you really hearing impaired?"
It's such a fine line between stupid, and clever....From Spinal Tap, awesome
- Oh, cute, Kent has his name on his liscence plate.
- My mother does the same thing to my underwear?
- You have liscence plates on your underwear? How do you sit?

You're so money, and you don't even know it

What, were you afraid House of Pain was gonna step to you?!?
-- ibid.
Come get some.

These are great for stubbed toes and the like. Use them at home or at the office.
My wife insists that I stop using these with our 8-month--old daughter when she cries.
------------------
There is no course of life so weak and sottish as that which is managed by order, method, and discipline. -Montaigne
All Simpsons quotes are perfect for any occasion. Same goes for Monty Python; some of my personal faves:
"An argument isn't just saying 'no it isn't.'"
"Yes it is."
"No it isn't!"
"You second-hand electric donkey bottom-biter."
"She was my best friend."
"Oh, Mother, don't be so sentimental. Things explode every day."
Any of the above can be used for any reason or no reason at all.
One movie quote that I'm surprised nobody has mentioned is from A Few Good Men and is great to use when you believe you are right but just can't think of how to back up your claim:
"The truth? You can't HANDLE the truth!"
"Don't worry, you'll be back on your knees in no time." --As Good as it Gets
"My mom died, a fluke accident in a routine liposuction." -Clueless

------------------
"I'll sleep when I'm dead." - Warren Zevon
dhanson said - "Convicted? No, never convicted." (when asked the question at Customs) - The Blues Brothers
Sorry, but that's a "Stripes" quote (Lord help me for knowing that one!)
And the bast line for appraising anything that is either useless or redundant... "Ours goes to eleven." (paraphrased from "This is Spinal Tap")
A couple of my favorites:
(In a squeaky, annoying voice) "People? I ain't people! I am a shimmering, glowing star in the cinema foimament. It says so, right there."
When I'm asked to predict completion schedules, I start talking like Yoda and say, "Difficult to say. Always changing the future is."
The quote from Mr. Mom is "220, 221, whatever it takes"...not 240.
Another quoate I use (from Blazing Saddles), in my best Slim Pickens whine: "What in the Wide, Wide World of Sports is going on here?"
From a Bugs Bunny cartoon: "The South Pole? Ooooooh, I'm DYIN'" (this is really effective when watching the X-Files movie, when Mulder is given the location of Scully, and the slip of paper says she's at 95 degrees South)
From Willy Wonka: "There's no earthly way of knowing, what direction we are going." (said when my kids ask where the car is headed)
From Robocop: "I LIKE it" (usable any time)
From Becket: "Will no one rid us of this mettlesome priest?" (said whenever someone is aggravating me)
From the Kung Fu TV series, for use with subordinates at work:
"You listen but do not hear, Grasshopper."
From any old movie with an aristocratic villain, for use with any adversary:
"I laugh in your face! Ha ha!"
------------------
where have you guys been all my life...I love all those old fliks:
the burbs,lost boys,F>Beuller,16 candles, willow was awesome,and better off dead was a classic, but I thought I was the only one who thought so!
clerks and grosse point blank are recent faves,
quotes i use incl:
"thats gonna leave a mark"- when I hurt myself in public
AAAAARmt training sir! -when asked what are you doing.
IS that a pledge pin on your uniform???(mock angrily) when someone is wearing something unusual
I sat we go THISA WAY!! when debating routes to drive (its from WILLOW- I do it with a funny accent)
if a man gets me flustered..I fan mysely and say in a southern accent "well ah do declare!"
if a stranger ( a man :-) ) offers assistance I say (again with the accent) "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers"
when expressing regrets over past decisions, I mumble "I coulda been a contenda"
From _Life of Brian_:
"'Making it worse'? How could it be any worse? Jehovah! Jehovah!"
From _PCI_:
"Don't be that guy."
(Useful when someone is doing something they think is cool, but it's cliche.) (Unfortunately, it gives away that I watched this awful film.)
From _Monty Python's The Meaning of Life_:
"It's only wafer thin."
(When trying to convince someone to have seconds.)
From _They Live!_ (I think):
"I came to kick butt and chew gum, and I'm all out of gum!"
From _The Blue's Brothers_:
"This is glue. Strong stuff."
From _The Addam's Family_ (TV):
"You rang?"

Quixotic took my quote!
"Inconceivable!" - in The Princess Bride. The line preceding Mandy Patinkin's "You keep using that word. . . ." Used whenever some un-anticipated event screws up plans.
I am sure there is a quote that would be appropriate in this situation-I just can't think of it at the moment....

"We're going to need some more FBI guys." - Die Hard. For anytime someone's pulled a clusterfuck so big, they go down in flames.

"You'll get nothing and like it!" - Caddyshack. Whenever my cat is whining at me for something she's not going to get.

"That'll be the day!" - The Searchers. Must be said with intense John Wayne accent whenever a skeptical comeback is needed.
"What is dis idiot babbling about?" - The Little Mermaid. Pretty self explanatory. Works best with a Jamaican accent.

A favorite of mine is from the Simpsons episode, where Bart destroyed Lisa's science project and she begins to compare Bart's intelligence with a hamster's. The hamster, of course, shuns the electrified cupcake after the first shock; Bart keeps after it:
BZZZT. "Ow!" BZZZT. "Ow!"
I say it whenever someone does something stupid more than once.
BTW, my fave Black Adder quote goes something like, "You wouldn't know a subtle plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on a harpsichord singing, 'Subtle Plans Are Here Again'."

"Do I offend?" When I feel less than fresh smelling.
"Off like a dirty shirt." and "Let's plow(sp?)." A way of saying "Let's go."
Both of the above are from the movie "Pretty in Pink".

If I may nitpick yet again, I think the quote is actually "220, 221 whatever it takes" from Michael Keaton to Teri Garr's boss, Ron, played by Martin Mull. (isn't the IMDb great?)

"Inconceivable!"
1. This thread is older than dirt.
