Similar quote from “From Dusk Til Dawn”. Harvey Keitel plays a former reverend who’s lost his way. George Clooney is a criminal, and they are about to go fight the swarm of Aztec vampires.
Clooney: Now, are you going to be a faithless preacher, or a mean mother f******’ Servant of the Lord!
Keitel: A mean mmmpher mmmphing Servant of the Lord! (he mumbles the swear words)
It kills me to no end that Harvey Keitel is not swearing.
Steel Magnolias: the only two funny lines from this terminally maudlin chick flick:
Olympia Dukakis relating the story how her nephew (I think) came out of the closet: "He got his folks together and said “Mom, dad, I have something important to tell you - I have an inoperable brain tumor and six months left to live. Just kiddin’, I’m gay.”
Olympia again, after fighting with Shirley Maclaine: “You know I love you more than my luggage.”
Make that three: “I’m not crazy, M’Lynn, I’ve just been a very bad mood for the last 40 years!”
In Among Giants, a perfectly horrible film with two otherwise excellent actors, Pete Postlethwaite and Rachel Griffiths, a depressed character in a bar says, “Don’t go having a good time. You’ll only brood about it in years to come.”
CandidGamera’s post reminded me of a scene from The Fearless Vampire Killers: Or, Pardon Me, But Your Teeth are in My Neck.
The vampire is stalking his victim. Unafraid, she brandishes a crucifix at him. He looks at it and says in a thick Yiddish accent,
“Oy veh, girl, you got the wrong vampire!”
And then he proceeds to chow down.
Mystery Men is full of such quotes, most of them from the Sphinx, who excels at turn-of-phrase mystery statements, such as:
“When you can balance a tack-hammer on your head, you will head off your foes with a balanced attack.”
“He who questions training only trains himself at asking questions.”
Oh, there are so many. Just go read 'em at IMDB.
Near the end of a bad movie, The Big Day, there’s a recovering alcoholic who’s been going through a crisis and has been holding an opened beer for some time without drinking it. His brother looks at him and reminds him how far he’s come:
Brother: “180 days. That’s a lot of days, man.”
Crisis guy replies: “It’ll be a hundred eighty one, tomorrow.”
I actually start misting up just thinking about it.
From Mommie Dearest: “Don’t fuck with me, boys, this ain’t my first time at the rodeo.”
From Queen of Outer Space: “I hate her. I hay dot Qvinn!”
From Valley of the Dolls: “So they threw ya outta Hollywood and ya come crawlin’ back to Broadway. Well, Broadway doesn’t go for booze and dope.”
