From Fight Club:
Marla: (panting) I haven’t been fucked like that since grade school…
Priceless!
Just finished watching The Third Man again, and I loved this line delivery:
Holly Martins: Heard of Harry Lime?
Mr. Crabbins: Well I’ve heard of him, of course, but I didn’t exactly know him.
Holly Martins: Well I was going to stay with him but he died Thursday.
Mr. Crabbins: Goodness, that’s awkward.
Its just so conversational.
Ooh, a good one, from Fawlty Towers.
After Basil Fawlty’s wife has spent the morning haranguing him incessantly and being a general bitch, she says she’s going out.
Basil Fawlty: Drive carefully, dear.
It’s just all in Cleese’s delivery. Not overly sarcastic, just genuine-enough, but with that edge.
Rambo III
Rambo to Col Troutman: Well, surrounding them is out."
Great line from an otherwise forgettable film.
Sgt Schwartz
From Sabrina (1995 remake)
Harrison Ford (Linus) to Greg Kinnear (David):
Linus: It’s my way of life that makes your way of life possible!
David: I resent that!
Linus: I do too!
Or something like that…
From The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover,
Alberta Spica has invited Michael to the table and has instructed Georgina to tell him about how she has the best of everything.
Georgina says she has the best hair dressers, best dressers, best doctors. She then starts in about how she has the best gynecologist. Albert is furious and in an attempt to change the subject he asks Michael what he does.
“I’m a gynecologist.” totally dead pan.
I fell off my chair, I was laughing so hard.
