Well…i adore **Blue Velvet** , so naturally most of my favorite quotes come from it: Frank-“Right Ben. LET’S GO FUCK. I’ll fuck anything that moves!!!” Frank-“Don’t be a good neighbor to her or I’m gonna send you a love letter. straight from my heart, fucker. You know what a love letter is? It’s a bullet. straight from my gun, fucker. Once you get a love letter from me, you’re fucked forever.Understand, Fuck?” God bless Dennis Hopper…🙂 ---

This movie is LOADED with them. SHOT IN THE DARK— A lot of them aren’t funny ON PAPER. IE: the “my pistol pen” discussion. But—the aftermath of the pool table sequence—when Clouseau goes to leave the room—and walks into the wall expecting it to be the doorway----says (something to the effect) “you should have a word with your architect too”. I’m usually too busy howling and slapping my thigh to know the line exactly. ---

Two of my favorites are from “Chinatown:” “Look. You sue me. Your husband dies. You drop the lawsuit like a hot potato all of it quicker than the wind from a duck’s ass.” (Jake to Evelyn) And this exchange between Noah Cross and Jake as whole fish are served on the luncheon platters: Cross: “I hope you don’t mind. I believe they should be served with the head.” Jake: “Fine. As long as you don’t serve the chicken that way.” ---

**Aliens** Our protagonists have just had their first ass-kicking by aliens. They’re discussing what to do. Vasquez: _Ok. We have 12 cannisters of CN-20. I say we roll them in there and nerve-gas the whole nest."_ Hicks: _Good idea but we don’t even know if it’ll work on them._ Ripley: _ **I say we take take off and nuke the entire site from orbit.** It’s the only way we can be sure._ **Gawd damn!!!** That line charges me up every time.

I’m prone to Sean Connery quotes, partly because I do a pretty fair imitation. Two of my favorites are: “Our shituation hash not improved.” (From _Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade_, in a mild tone belying imminent disaster.) “Losersh whine about their besht. Winnersh go home and ^@&% the prom queen.” (From _The Rock_) I also like any number of quotes from Oddball (Donald Sutherland’s proto-hippy) in _Kelly’s Heroes_, particularly “It’s a motha-beautiful bridge…and it’s gonna be there.” (Always in reference to something doomed to failure) ---

Riley, Back in my retail days I used to love to get on the intercom and announce that we had the only copies of Happy Scrappy Hero Pup on VHS. Anyone who works retail should watch Clerks-just as anyone who works for an office should watch Office Space. Office Space gave me a treasured word-assclown. ---

Being a PRETTY WOMAN fan… There are several…But my favorites are… 1. The night Edward brings Vivian home. When she is flossing her teeth. I love it when he says,“It’s just that few people surprise me.” She responds with,“Yeah, well you’re lucky, most of them shock the hell out of me.” 2. And near the end when talking with Kit. They are discussing the possibility of the dream becoming a reality. Vivian says,“Name one person it has happened to, just one.” Kit then says in hysterics,“Cindefuckingrella”. 3. At the polo game when Stucky’s wife inquires about how they met. She says,“She’s a lovely girl Edward, wherever did you find her?” He says,“976-BABE”. Those 3 crack me up so much…STILL. After 10 million viewings. I probably should retire the tape, I sure made my money off of it. I can’t imagine the money I would’ve spent had I rented it each time. ---
