Sorry, I can’t resist a few more Mr. Burns quotes!
“I could crush him like an ant. But it would be too easy. No, revenge is a dish best served cold. I’ll bide my time until … Oh, what the hell. I’ll just crush him like an ant.”
“Yes, I’d like to send this letter to the Prussian consulate in Siam by aeromail. Am I too late for the 4:30 autogyro?”
Speaking of Pee Wee Herman, how about Francis, the rich nerd who stole Pee-Wee’s bike in Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure?
Francis: Remember the first time I saw your bike? You came riding past my house and I came running out to tell you how much I liked it even way back then?
Pee-wee: I love that story.
Francis: [ominous voice] You’ll be sorry, Pee-wee Herman! [/ominous voice]
Mayor: “Well. What a day this is. A special day. Today is our centennial. The 100th anniversary of the founding of Sunnydale. And I know what that means to all you kids. . .Not a darn thing.” Buffy: “My god, he’s gonna do the entire speech.” Willow: “Man, just ascend already.” Buffy: “Evil.”
Mayor Wilkins: “A package is arriving tomorrow night from Central America. Something - and I can’t stress this enough - something crucially important to my ascension. Without it… well, what would tollhouse cookies be without the chocolate chips? A pretty darn big disappointment, I can tell you!”
Mayor: “There’s more than one way to skin a cat, and I happen to know that’s factually true.”
Mayor: “I think they could be cleaner.” Aide: “Of course, sir. I mean, I wash them, but…” Mayor: “After every meal, and under your fingernails. Dirt gets trapped there. And germs. And mayonnaise.”
Q (John de Lancie) in various forms of Star Trek, primarily TNG. “Red alert.” “I think I just hurt my back. I’m feeling pain. I don’t like it. Uh, what’s the right thing to say? ‘Ow’?” “Ow, I think.”
Lethal Weapon 2 (you know the one with the evil South Africans)
Main villain like his office clean so before he will shoot someone he has plastic laid on the floor. After his men fail him he is berating them. Right Hand Man Henchman looks down at his feet. Main villain asks “What are you doing?” Henchman’s reply “Just making sure I’m not on plastic.”
“Ah, how shall I do it? Oh, I know. I’ll turn him into a flea, a harmless, little flea, and then I’ll put that flea in a box, and then I’ll put that box inside of another box, and then I’ll mail that box to myself, and when it arrives… laughs I’ll SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER! It’s brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, I tell you! Genius, I say!”

I just watched Neil Gaiman’s “Neverwhere” on DVD. On the whole I was disappointed in it but really enjoyed Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandermar. There is something truly chilling about a lunatic who delights in and is delighted by his own evil. Hywel Bennett was wonderful as Mr. Croup. No quotes come to mind however.
