BIg Lebowski stands out for quite a few that I can’t remember, but the ones I can: (Cowboy guy talking to dude): “Sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes the bear eats you” (quirky cause I’m from Australia 🙂 (Later…or earlier) John Goodman:“You are entering a world of pain” (Later or ealier) Nihilist: “I fuck you up!” Also in aliens, when hudson is replying to his Captain (the black dood) during briefing: Captn: “Any questions?” Hudson: “Yeah, how do I get out of this chicken shit outfit” Every single time anyone asks me that in a job interview, a uni lecture…anywhere, I always cackle inside my brain. Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop: Axel: “YEah but I gotta hand deliver these…flowers are my life!” LAter…or earlier Axel: (Nasal tone) “You not gonna fall for the banana in the tailpipe…you gotta say it like this (deep) Im not falling for no banana in the tail pipe! You been hanging out with this guy too long” Love it ---

I like Hunter S. Thompsons’ quotes > [@](#): > > “Our trip was a grass physical salute to the fantastic possibilities of life in this country” he wrote, “but only for those with true grit. And we where chock full of that.” The Trainspotting intro isn’t bad either: > [@](#): > > Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food in to your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace you. Choose your future. Choose life. ---

More from “Princess Bride”: Westley: As you wish. Vizzini: HE DIDN’T FALL? INCONCEIVABLE! Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. Inigo Montoya: You seem a decent fellow. I hate to kill you. Westley: You seem a decent fellow. I hate to die. Vizzini: You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is “Never get involved in a land war in Asia”, but only slightly less famous is this: “Never go in against a Sicilian, when _death_ is on the line!”. Hahahahahah! Buttercup: We’ll never survive! Westley: Nonsense! You’re only saying that because no one ever has. From “Star Wars”: Han Solo: Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid. Darth Vader: I find your lack of faith disturbing. Darth Vader: The Force is strong with this one C-3PO: But sir, nobody worries about upsetting a droid. Han Solo: That’s 'cause droids don’t pull people’s arms out of their sockets when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that. Chewbacca: Grrf. C-3PO: I see your point, sir. I suggest a new strategy, R2: let the Wookiee win. From “The Empire Strikes Back”: Leia: Why, you stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf-herder! Han Solo: Who’s scruffy-looking? Han: Never tell me the odds! Han Solo: Laugh it up, fuzzball! Yoda: No! Try not. Do… or do not. There is no try. Princess Leia Organa: I love you. Han Solo: I know. From “The In-Laws”: Vince Ricardo: Serpentine Shelly. Serpentine! Vince Ricardo: Are you interested in joining? The benefits are terrific. The trick is not to get killed. That’s really the key to the benefit program. Vince: Just go with the flow, Shel, just go with the flow. Sheldon: What flow? There isn’t any flow. From “The Producers”: Leo Bloom: I’m in pain and I’m wet and I’m still hysterical!! Leo: Let’s assume, just for the moment, that you are a dishonest man. Max: Assume away. Sorry, this went longer than I planned. Love the IMDB. ---
