Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars? Lawrence: I’ll tell you what I’d do, man, two chicks at the same time, man. Peter Gibbons: That’s it? If you had a million dollars, you’d do two chicks at the same time? Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I had a million dollars I could hook that up, cause chicks dig a dude with money. Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks. Lawrence: Well the kind of chicks that’d double up on me do. ---

I’m pretty sure “Hail to the King” was said once or twice in medieval England. 🙂 ---

Let’s not forget “CaddyShack” and “Airplane” “He’s a Cinderella boy…” “I’ll bet you get a free bowl of soup with that hat.” “Looks good on you, though.” “I don’t think the heavy stuff will come down for a while!” (whenever my friends and I get caught out in the rain, you can set your watch by the time it takes for someone to say this). “Don’t sell yourself short. You’re not, uh, you’re not good. You stink.” “You’re a lot of woman. You must have been something before electricity!” “You wanna make five dollars the hard way?” “Whoo hoo. The dance of the living dead.” “Don’t call me Shirley” “Ever see a movie about gladiators, Billy?” “Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.” “NO! That’s just what they’re expecting us to do!” Of course, I hang out with a lot of golfers and pilots, which probably skews the data. But hardly a day would go by at the flying club without someone saying, “You’ve got to come in pretty low to land those things.” ---

Ghostbusters: Ray, when someone asks “are you a god” you say YES! Jeanine: Would you like some coffee? Louis: Would I? Egon: Yes have some. Louis: Yes have some. Ray: Everything was fine until dickless here turned off the power grid! Mayor: Is this true? Peter: It’s true, your honor, this man has no dick. Louis: Gozer the Traveler.

I might have to second _Airplane_, I hear more quotes from that movie… and I hate that movie. _Blazing Saddles_? Just off the top of my head: “Excuse me while I whip this out.” “Baby, please, I am not from Havana!” “Hey, where all the white women at?” “Candygram for Mongo!” “Mongo like candy.” “Well, raise my rent.” “What’s a dazzling urbanite like yourself doing in a rustic setting like this?” “Why am I telling you?” “It’s twue! It’s twue!” “Boy, is he strict!” “More beans, Mr Taggert?” “The _Camptown Lady_?” “Ditto!” “We’ll give some land…but we don’t want the Irish!” “They’ve hit Buddy! Get 'em girls!” “Not in the face!” “I’m workin’ for Mel Brooks!” “Confidentially, to tell a family secret, my grandmother was a Dutch.” “_I’m Tired_, the song that closed Poland.” “Can’t you see she’s pooped?” “And always too damn soon!” “Tex, ma’am.” “Oh, play chess. Screw.” “…little punk shot me in the ass!” “Dare! Dare!” “Well, if you must pry.” “I must. I must.” “They darker than us! Phhhew!” “Twelve’s my limit on schnitzengruben.” “Man, those schnitzengruben can wipe you out.” A personal favorite. " No no, don’t do that. If you shoot him you’ll just make him mad." “Never mind that shit! Here comes Mongo!” “Always like to keep my audience riveted.” ---

I vote Army of Darkness, Office Space and Princess Bride. Like **Phlip** , when I saw AoD, I’d already heard most of the movie. Office Space is probably my favorite quotable movie. In our circle, I’d add The Usual Suspects. “Give me your keys, motherfucker what the fuuuck.” ---

I’ll have to go with Monty Python anything, but particularly the Grail, then Airplane, then Blazing Saddles/Young Frankestein/Caddyshack/Fletch/Princess Bride/Ghostbusters… Actually, everything I say is a movie quote as I have no personality. It’s rather sad. My final answer is any movie that came out and I saw when I was in high school and college (the 80’s), plus Monty Python and Mel Brooks’ movies. And some others I can’t think of right now. ---

ACtually now that I think about it, I probably quote _The Simpsons_ more than any movie. “What’s a battle?” ---

Scuse me, sorry about that [grabs Harvey Korman] Have you lost your mind, can’t you see that man is a ni–?” Also gotta love _Young Frankenstein_, particularly anything said by Marty Feldman: “You’re putting me on!” “Call it – a hunch!” (pointing to his hump and doing a verbal ‘rim-shot’) _BruCHEE!_ “Nice workin’ with ya!” “Hump? What hump?” “Say nothing, act casual.” “Abby…Someone…Abby…Normal…I’m almost sure that was the name!” The rest of the movie is filled with far more quotables than I’m prepared to discuss here. ---
