Ok, its been quite a shitty year for movies, but what were your favorite lines from movies that came out this year? i just discovered my favorite after watching terminato 3. There is the scene where Arnie is driving and Claire Danes is ranting in the back and tells him something like 'Go kill yourself Arnie answers-deadpan as only he can- ‘I am unable to comply with your request’ OK…lets have some more offerings. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Zebra \* > \*\*“Pirate” Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean \*\* And the line is…? My favorite line/exchange has been: Military Dude: Mopheus, many people do not share your beliefs. Morpheus: My beliefs do not require them to. ---

Another one from Pirates of the Caribbean: (After Elizabeth shows disappointment when finding out that he spent 3 days on the beach drinking rum) Captain Jack Sparrow: “Welcome to the Caribbean, love!” Either that or when he says, “We’ve reached a special place…Spiritually, economically…grammatically.” ---

My favorite movie line of the year is by Captain Jack Sparrow, aka Johnny Depp. … The only problem is there are so many good ones, I can’t pick just one. Savvy? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Mahaloth \* > \*\*And the line is…? > > . \*\* The _line_ from **Zebra** ’s post was: _ **"Pirate!"** _ And I agree. Best line of the year. Must be seen in context for it to be fully appreciated. Is there a comedy actor Oscar? ---

**NoClueBoy** , I am constantly amazed at how much you and I are alike. 😃 I saw that you were the latest to reply here and I said to myself “I’ll bet he said ‘pirate,’ too!” You rule. oh…[/hijack] Lo siento. ---

Any of the Jack Sparrow lines take it for me, but I was actually thinking of “Pirate!” or “Welcome to the Caribbean!” What a fantastic performance! With all seriousness, I think it would be a terrible shame if Depp doesn’t get a Best Actor nomination for the role. And even though I hated T3, I have to admit I loved when AH-nold said “Your levity is good. It distracts you from the ever-present fear of death,” or something to that effect. ---

Another from Captain Jack (paraphasing): “I’m dishonest, and a dishonest man you can trust to be dishonest… It’s the honest ones you got to watch out for, because you can never predict when they’re going to do something incredibly stupid” Depp is too cool. So much so that it pisses me off.😉 ---

Another good line (not from Captain Jack Sparrow this time): “You are a god among insects. Don’t ever let anyone tell you different.” Magneto (Ian McKellan) to Pyro in X-Men 2. ---

I can’t remember it exactly, but paraphrased: “That’s a funny thing to promise. If you never let anything happen to him, then nothing will ever happen to him.” – Dory, from _Finding Nemo_ or: “WHAAAAttt’s GoooOOOOINNNNNG OooooOOOOOnnnn?” ---

It loses much out of context, but “I wish _I_ could speak whale!” from _Finding Nemo_ has been quoted entirely too much in my home this past month, and for good reason IMHO. ---

I see _Pirates_ is eating this thread alive. Yay! My contribution, from the ever-quotable CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow: “Elizabeth, darling, it would never have worked between us. I’m sorry… Will, nice hat.” (though I, too, loved “Pirate!”) ---

Since “Pirate!”, “Why is the rum gone?”, and “Welcome to the Caribbean” have been taken, I’ll throw in: “Quit shooting holes in my boat!!!” ---

[nitpick] It’s: “Stop blowing holes in my ship” [/nitpick] I’d like to also add: “Mr. Cotton’s…parrot. Same question.” ---

Ooh, how about, “She’s going to be insufferable now.” as he sights the RNS Whatever at anchor off his little island? “Can I have two bullets this time?” [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/best-line-of-the-year-movies/190196.md?page=2)
