Okay, here’s a **really really hard** one:

“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.”

(Hah, I’ll bet they’ll never guess! The movie this comes from is over 6 decades old, after all.)

Unforgiven.

“There are two kinds of metal in this yard: scrap, and art. If you’ve gotta eat one of them, eat the scrap. What you currently have - IN YOUR MOUTH - is art!”

(Love that movie so much)

Mine seem to be getting guessed too easily. So I’m going to submit a multiple entry.

"Tomorrow will be like today, and the day after tomorrow will be like the day before yesterday. I see your remaining days as a tedious collection of hours full of useless vanities. You will think no new thoughts. You will forget what little you have known. Older you will become, but not wiser. Stiffer, but not more dignified. Childless you are, and childless you will remain. Of that suppleness you once commanded in your youth, of that strange simplicity which once attracted men to you, neither endures, nor shall you recapture them. "

“Maybe if you showed Dr. Zaius the proper respect, Dr. Zaius would stop showing you the POO!”

“I’ve always taken you with a grain of salt. On your birthday, when you told me to do a striptease to the theme of “Mighty Mouse”, I said okay. On prom night at the hotel when you told me to sleep under the bed in case your mother burst in, I did it. And even during my grandmother’s funeral when you told my relatives that you could see her nipples through her burial dress, I let that slide. But if you think I’m gonna suffer any of your shit with a smile now that we’re broken up, you’re in for some serious fucking disappointment.”

“We’ve got a blind date with Destiny - and it looks like she’s ordered the lobster.”

“You see, flying takes three things: Hard work, perseverance and… hard work.”  
“You said “hard work” twice.”  
“That’s because it takes twice as much work as perseverance.”

These are the only one’s I can ever get right.

Bug’s Life.

“You’ll get a new heart and before you know it, you’ll be back in your garden, you’ll be painting… you’ll be getting asked out by fantastic men.” – " I’m getting a new heart, not a new ass. "

Return to Me. One thing I remember about that movie, is that after years of watching watching David Duchovny play Mulder, seeing him have facial expressions is downright unnerving.

No one guessed my earlier one… it was “The Triplets of Belleville.”  
“I finally get a bouquet and it’s a going away present. That’s depressing.”

I don’t have any answers, but I have a quote.

“What kind of man has a favorite daughter? And if you do you should label them ‘favorite’ and ‘_not_ favorite’!”
