Leonardo DiCaprio (playing Rick Dalton playing Caleb DeCoteau in Lancer) has a very similar line in _Once Upon a Time in Hollywood_, but swaps out “our” for “my”.

You guys clearly know _nothing_ about movies!

The answer is _The Maltese Falcon_ (1941). Dundy (Barton MacLane) says it after Bogart says, “The stuff dreams are made of.”

Aren’t you ashamed of yourselves?

Okay.

_Roman Holiday_

Audrey Hepburn to Gregory Peck in his apartment.

Fabulous movie! Audrey Hepburn is indescribably glorious in her first major film role. Won an Oscar for it, too.

I like the way you think, but no.

Perhaps I was a bit disingenuous; the full quote is “have that removed, corporal.”

_Stripes_ - after Stillman missteps (an ad-lib, by the way … unless you’re talking about a different movie altogether).
