I’m surprised no one recognized these: **A:** “What can they do? They’re only people just like us.” **B:** “People, my foot! They’re _Democrats_!” Talking about the US Congress in _ **The Day the Earth Stood Still** _. "When statesmen forsake their own private conscience for the sake of their public duties, they lead their country by a short route to chaos.” Paul Scofield as Sir Thomas More in _ **A Man for All Seasons** _. “You, and you alone, must recognize our enemies, the forces of ambition, cruelty, arrogance and stupidity! You must recognize them. You must destroy them! You must tear them out as you would a malignant growth, and cast them from the surface of the Earth!” VE Day broadcast in _ **Mister Roberts** _. I thought “malignant growth” would be a dead giveaway. “Personally, Veda’s convinced me that alligators have the right idea. They eat their young.” Eve Arden in _ **Mildred Pierce** _. I knew the line before I ever saw the movie. **A:** “Pick up your electrode gun. Make sure it’s in working order before pointing it at him.” **B:** “Whatever made it jam must have been cleared by the fall.” Classic line in _ **Plan 9 from Outer Space** _. “We’ve been had, Amigo!” A bit more obscure: Burt Lancaster to Lee Marvin in _ **The Professionals** _ (1966). Here’s another: “Bring me Labiche!” ---

Here’s another with the word “ashamed”: _I am ashamed of the way I perspire._ If you’re very familiar with the source (very well-known film), you’ll probably recognize it. Otherwise, it’s kind of surprising. ---
