I was recently informed that it is mostly guys that remember movie lines, well ok, almost complete movies, but can’t remember other simple conversations. I can’t remember what else the conversation was about but it did bring to mind several lines from different movies… “Ever seen a grown man naked?” Airplane: the movie. Come on, what are those lines bouncing around in your head? List the movie if you can. I don’t get to the flicks much these days. ---

Not one line but a set-up “Does Marcellus Wallace look like a bitch” “What?” “DOES Marcellus Wallace look… like… a bitch?” “No” “Then why you tryin to fuck him like a bitch?” Pulp Fiction… And WAY too many from Office Space. ---

Hmm ‘As you wish’ ‘You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.’ -Princess Bride ‘The things I do for my country’ -XXX ‘Dreams die hard and you hold them in your hands long after they have turned to dust.’ Draco: ‘I long for death, but do fear it.’ Bowen: ‘Why?

It’s completely senseless taken out of context, but a line from Donnie in “The Big Lebowski”: “phone’s ringing, Dude”. Just a matter-of-fact statement of the obvious. My friends and I always say that when the phone rings, though. –greenphan ---

“Have fun storming the castle!” has become a catch-phrase around here whenever anyone goes anyplace. If you don’t know what movie that’s from, your SDMB membership will be rescinded immediately. 😃 And **Sakura** and I frequently find cause to look at each other and say, “Top. Men.” Extra points if you know what movie _that’s_ from. ---

“I haven’t been fucked like that since high school” - Fight Club However, the original line, when put in context with the scene, is even funnier (and even darker); “God, I wanna have your abortion” From Pulp Fiction - “I don’t know, I didn’t go in to Burger King” always cracks me up, as does “I’m American honey, our names don’t mean shit”. “Inconcievable” from The Princess Bride “Captain, It’s a Klingon” from Chicken Run ---

I’m just gonna stop going.” Joanna: "When did you decide all that? " Peter Gibbons: "About an hour ago. " Joanna: "So you’re going to get another job? " Peter Gibbons: “I don’t think I’ll like another job.” Joanna: “Well what are you going to do about money? Bills?” Peter Gibbons: “You know I never really liked paying bills, I don’t think I’m going to do that either.” - **Office Space** Narrator: “On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.”- **Fight Club** Hudson: “Hey, maybe you haven’t been keeping up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked pal!”- **Aliens** Ash: “It’s a trick.

I don’t know why this one amuses me so much… “I would have liked to have seen Montana.” - a dying Sam Neill, in a Russian accent. _Hunt For Red October_. I forget the speech earlier in the movie that precipitated that… something about wanting to move to Montana, get a nice, round wife and a pickup truck and raise rabbits. Just cracks me up. God knows why. ---
