I vote for the line he uses in “Conan the Destroyer”
“Enough Talk” <throws knife that kills guard>

Conan, what is best in life?
“To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women!”
I’ve never seen Conan, but did anyone see that Daily Show bit where they were talking about that proposition in California that Schwarzanegger had sponsored? Hilarious.
Double Conan Item:
Conan O’Brien the late night show host once interviewed by a fan and this exchange occurred:
He also said that, when the movie came out, he was teased in college with “So, were is your sword?!?!?”
My favorite moment from the movie is the final prayer to Krum:
“Grant me one last request:
Give me revenge!!! . . And if you do not listen, den de hell wit you!!!"
It sounds more fun/disturbing (YMMV), if it is true, that Ahnold is an atheist!
Daniel took the best known one, so I’ll throw out one from Conan the Destroyer:
But you have to hear it in the ridiculously thick Ah-nold accent to fully appreciate it.
“If you’re going to learn to fight… do it with a real weapon…not with a toothpick…”
“Are these your robes?”
“Yes”
“A priests robes?”
“Yes brother, they’re all I have…”
“Good.”
<Thump!> <Crack!>
“Buy a charm to ward off evil?”
“Pah! We are evil.”
Conan: The riddle…of steel?
Thulsa Doom: Yes! You know it, don’t you boy? Shall I tell you? It’s the least I can do. Steel isn’t strong, boy, flesh is stronger! Look around you. There, on the rocks; that beautiful girl. Come to me my child, come to me… (girl falls and smashes through the floor) That is strength boy! That is power! The strength and power of flesh! What is a sword compared to the hand that wields it? Look at the strength in your body, the desire in your heart! I gave you this! <sigh> Such a waste. Contemplate this on the tree of woe. Crucify him!
GIGObuster: I remember when Ron Howard was on Conan O’Brien’s show, and Conan was talking about how he got teased as a kid for looking like Richie Cunningham. When they finished that discussion, Conan looked at the camera and said, “Now all I need is to have Arnold Schwarzenegger on, and I can put the last of my childhood teasing to rest.”
Black Lotus! Stygian! The best!
This had better not be haggis…
Would I sell haggis to slayers such as yourselves…
And for some reason this one always cracks me up…
“5 years ago…they were just another snake cult…”
“Don’t you know the Dewey Decimal System?”
from “Conan the Librarian” by way of Weird Al’s “UHF.”
Um…actually, that was “hagga,” or however you spell a word you pronounce as “hah-gah.”
It sorta brings to mind the reverse: a Scotsman wanting the traditional dish of his country, saying in a warning tone, “T’is be’er na’ be Bla’ Lotus, lad!”
Anyway, I still love:
“Crom laughs at your Four Winds!”
