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.

This girl that I dated had an aversion to that same word that you edited out, even when it came to dialogue or scriptwork (which is odd, since she has a theater degree). We were dating when “Pulp Fiction” cam eout, and whenever she felt the urge to quote this scene, she’d always substitute the word “muppet.” Puts a whole new spin on both the movie, and “The Muppet Show”

There! Don’t know how that happened!

Annie Potts answers the phone… “Ghostbusters! Whaddaya want?”
Near the end of Disney’s Cinderella… “But your Excellency… I have the other glass slipper…”
Meeting the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz:
I think he said ‘oil can.’
‘Oil can’ what?
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. Sigourney Weaver kicks ass!
“I’m not a superhero, I’m a Mormon” - Orgasmo
Orgasmo is the title character from a really, really bad movie about a Mormon who stars in porn films as a superhero.
from E.T.
Elliot: He’s E.T. He’s an alien from outer space, and we have to get him back to his spaceship.
Greg: Why don’t they just beam him up?
Elliot: This is reality, Greg.
from Mary Poppins
Mr Banks: Stop clouding the issue with facts!
“I’ll alert the media.” (I use that every chance I get)
(Eager Bulgarian couple):“We’ll be there at 6:00”.
(Claude Rains): “I’ll be there at 10:00”
“So let it be written…so let it be done.”
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)
Either
Look, we can discuss sexism in survival situations when I get back.
-Laura Dern (Dr. Ellie Sattler)
or
There’s a 442 parked out back. Wanna strip down and shine the hood?
-Angelina Jolie (Sarah ‘Sway’ Wayland)
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.
“Promise me everything I ask for.”
“Anything you want.”
“I want my father back, you son of a bitch.”
Being a PRETTY WOMAN fan…
There are several…But my favorites are…
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.”
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”.
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.
Some of my faves
Army of Darkness
Ash: First you want to kill me, now you want to kiss me…blow.
Ash: Yo! She bitch!..Lets go!
Ash: Gimme some sugar baby
Bad Ash: Im the bad Ash, you’re the good Ash.
Ash: <KABLAM!!> Good, bad, I’m the guy with the gun.
Medevil Guy: Are all men from the future load mouth braggarts?
Ash: Nope…Just me baby!
And so on
Clerks
Don’t suck any dicks on the way to the parking lot!
Big Trouble in Little China
Jack Burton: I just don’t get it.
Lo Pan: Mr Burton, You were not brought upon this world to “get it”!
GoldFinger
No Mr. Bond, I expect you to DIE!
Almost forgot!
Billy Madison
Nowhere in your incoherent rambling, did you at any time even remotely approach a rational thought. Everyone in this room is DUMBER for having listened to you. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
I don’t remember the name of the movie, but Stanley Tucci is dressed up in reeeaaallly tight, dark denim and constantly spouting off in a bad Latino accent:
“My name iss muerte!”
others:
“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.” (princess Bride)
“Badges? We don’ need no stinkin badges!” 9Treasure of the Sierra Madre)
"And st. Attila raised the holy hand grenade up on high, saying, Oh Lord, bless this thy Holy Hand grenade … "(three guesses)
“Allah loves wonderous variety.” (Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves)
“SHUT UP you twit!” (see above)
Oh, you want Aliens quotes? How’s this…
“How do I get out of this chickenshit outfit?” -Hudson
Ripley: “This little girl has survived for more than 17 days with no weapons, and no training.”
Hudson (after an incredulous pause): “Why don’t you put her in charge?!?”
Discussing a dangerous plan to have a lone guy head out to reallign a communications dish…
Hudson: “Hey, yeah, Bishop should go. Good idea!”
Bishop: “Believe me, I’d rather not. I may be synthetic, but I’m not stupid.”
Hudson: “Hey, Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?”
Vasquez (a buff woman): “No… have you?”
(Y’know, pretty much anything Hudson says is quotable…)
