**Monsters vs Aliens** : Susan (Ginormica) is furiously battling the alien robot while her monster buddies are looking on. Bob (I think-) yells to her “you’re doing great!” Susan (exasperated) “I’m doing EVERYTHING!” I use that at work. **A Bug’s Life** : “I’m telling you with my brain” I love that one! ---

The Skipper (lead penguin) had some great lines in Madagascar 2. “That has to be the second biggest slingshot I’ve ever seen.” “Gently now, you just wanna kiss the ground, just a little peck, a smooch like you’re kissing your sister.” “Love transcends all boundaries. We are here to celebrate such a love. Do you two take each other for better or worse?” Skipper: “For better, please.” “Higher mammal! We shall require use of your opposibles!” ---

When I was in the theatre watching **Up** I let out a loud “HA!” when I heard Carl Fredrickson ask Russell “You call your mother by her first name?” (It was a running joke on the Mary Tyler Moore show) ---

Up will be a treasure-trove for years at my house… …whenever my wife asks me to do something, I will often reply, “yes, I will do x for you because I LOVE you…” in a spot-on impression of Dug. ---

> [@MrDibble](#): > > I love “You! Higher Mammal!” and use it IRL (in Madagascar it’s “You! Higher Mammal! Can you read?” IIRC). Also “Smile & wave, boys, smile & wave”. I never cared for the head penguin because the voice actor (it seemed to me) was deliberately trying to sound like Phil Hartman. ---

Lilo and Stitch has a lot of great lines. I love that Lilo is just such an odd little girl, and her interactions with the other girls her age are perfect. Lilo: “Leave me alone to diiiiie.” ---

I swear, the funniest line I’ve heard in a movie in the last 10 years was Dug’s squirrel joke in Up: > [@](#): > > Hey, I know a joke! A squirrel walks up to a tree and says, “I forgot to store acorns for the winter and now I am dead.” Ha! It is funny because the squirrel gets dead. I almost literally ROFL’d. Fortunately, I was at home. ---

“You are a sad, strange, little man” from _Toy Story_ killed me. I use it IRL quite often. Anything Dug from _Up_ says cracks me up. ---

> [@Max\_Torque](#): > > Do the **Star Wars** movies count? My favorite line is from **The Empire Strikes Back** : > > Luke has tried, and failed, to use the Force to lift his X-Wing out of the swamp. His efforts cause it to sink entirely below the surface. Yoda concentrates and lifts it out, levitating it gracefully to a landing on solid ground. Luke, amazed, says, “Master, I…I don’t believe it!” > > Yoda replies, **“That is why you fail.”** > > It’s not said harshly, it’s just the master teaching the student: believe, and it is possible. I think they should, because they are children’s movies, at heart. But there’s some great stuff that really speaks to adults: \*All right, I’ll give it a try. No. Try not. Do… or do not. There is no try. \* That exchange made my mother, who’d never even heard of the franchise, and didn’t really understand the space-opera-western-acted-out-partly-by-puppets concept, shout out “Exactly, that’s the one thing that makes perfect sense.” ---
