_Halloween II_?

I use this (Adapted) Lock Stock quote a lot with people who try to avoid buying their round in the pub by saying “i can’t! i’ve only got X Pounds…”  
"Jesus Christ! You could choke a dozen donkeys on that! And you’re haggling over one round? What’re you doing when you’re not buying beer? Finance revolutions?

**Heavy Metal**

**Hanover Fiste:** He’s nothing but a low-down, double-dealing, backstabbing, larcenous perverted worm! Hanging’s too good for him. Burning’s too good for him! He should be torn into little bitsy pieces and buried alive!

“Have fun stormin’ the castle!”  
I usually say this when I see co-workers heading in to talk to the boss about something.

“It’s not my fault!”

“All too easy.”

“I’ll buy that fer a dollar.”

“Clark, that there’s an RV.”

“Did I break wind?”

“I’m you’re huckleberry.”

(“You’re so drunk, I’ll bet you’re seein’ double!”)  
“I’ve got two guns, one for each of yah.”

“That’ll do, donkey, that’ll do.”

If we were to delve into the TV side of things I could add a few more:

“Excellent!”

“I don’t know” (said in Homer Simpson’s ‘bewildered’ voice)

“Pinky, you have the recall of a lima bean.”

“Pinky, if I could reach you, I would hurt you.”

“Anger me, Pinky!”

“Tell someone you’re the Metatron and they stare at you blankly. Mention something from a Charlton Heston movie and suddenly everyone’s a theology scholar.”

“There’s nothing worse than watching a f’in’ fat man weep.”

“Does that mean Bethany’s part-black?”

“Our Lord didn’t come to give people the willies. He was a booster!”

Any and all permutations of ‘It’s a bug hunt, man, a bug hunt! Game over man, game over!!!’ is a handy little phrase in many an every day situation, I find…use it early, use it often.

‘The high council may well sentence you to TORCHA!’

I recently saw ‘Help’ for the first time in about 10 years, and I was surprised (and amused) to discover how many of my current ‘catchphrases’ came from my repeated viewing of the film in days of yore – ‘Of course! Why didn’t you think of that, ya twit!’

Help and A Hard Day’s Night are a rich source of terrific lines…

Dozens of them in Withnail and I (probably a bit misquoted here), including:

“Hair are your aerials - they pick up signals from the cosmos and transmit them directly into your brain. This is the reason bald men are so uptight.”

“I demand to have some booze!”

“Monty you terrible c\*nt!”

“Don’t threaten me with a dead fish!”

“A pair of pints and a pair of quadruple whiskeys.”

“We want cake, and the finest wines known to man. We want them here, and we want them now.”

“We’re going to install a f\*cking jukebox and liven you stiffs up a bit.”

“I’ve only had a few ales.”

“You have done something to your brain. You have made it high.”

“Presumin’ Ed’s sister got a doll for Christmas wot pisses itself, and you have to change its drawers for it. ‘Orrible really, but they like that, the little girls. So Presumin’ Ed’s made one wot shits itself too.”

[nitpick]  
I’m pretty sure that’s “Jesus **H.** Tap-Dancing Christ!”  
[/nitpick]

And while we’re on the subject,

“Have you seen the light?!”

and

“The BAND!”

are two of my favorite moment-of-revelation comments, depending upon which side of the revelation I’m on.

“I’d buy that for a dollar!” - The catchphrase from the teevee show in _Robocop_

_Pee Wee’s Big Adventure_ has some good ones:

“You don’t want to get mixed up with a guy like me. I’m a rebel, a loner…”

“James Bond kinda stuff.”

“Action PACKED, Pee Wee!” (the universal response to the leaving-the-theater question, “How did you like the movie?”)

And I’ll second _Repo Man_:

“Let’s go do crimes!”
