To my daughters when they are babbling excitedly about their latest favorite sci-fi show: “But ladies…you’re nerds.” From _Revenge of the Nerds,_ of course. We also get a lot of mileage out of “I have a bad feeling about this.” And because their dad is a rather impatient driver, and we have a lot of deer in our area: “Look, kids, a deer!” (_NL’s Christmas Vacation_). ---

“A wretched hive of scum and villainy.” I haven’t used this one yet, but I’m going to start. ---

" I got a pool and a pond. A pond’d be good for you, Carl. " From Caddyshack, the mother lode of movie quotes. I use it sparingly, but when someone asks if that pool got finished, etc… I get to toss it in. Always amusing. Mostly. " Don’t be so hard on yourself. You’re a tremendous slouch. " If someone were to use " Hey I’m no slouch ! ". Again, Caddyshack. " It puts the lotion on its skin, or it gets the hose again. " From Silence Of The Lambs. Has to be with a crowd that can see the macabre humor in the use of it, since it’s a horrific cinematic moment. I’ve used it to great effect when a friend or relative uses Chapstik. 😃 " What in the Wide, Wide World of Sports is goin’ on around here ??? " Blazing Saddles. Always good for a laugh, used when I return to a scene and things have become F-'d up in my absence. Also, with sure-fire success, used AT A.B.C. WHILE shooting Wide World of Sports. Which I did for the last 4 years of its existence. Cracked Robin Roberts up when we’d pass that line. ---

Triple or quadruple (lost count) on “Wretched hive of scum and villainy” except we employ it every grocery shopping day, subbing “douchebaggery” for “villainy.” Another fave not mentioned so far. From **Trading Places** : Seedy police station waiting room dude: Is that your purse? Penelope: _cringes_ SPSWRD: That’s a nice purse. May be used whenever you notice anybody’s new anything. For best effect, must be growled like seedy police station waiting room dude. ---

ANYTHING from the “Airplane” movies. Our house is full of MASH fans, and we’ve been known to quote MASH lines back and forth for FAR too long. Our favorite episode is when it was beastly hot, Charles had to be the accountant for the family finances because of an IRS audit, BJ was worried about his house back in SF, and Hotlips had prickly heat. Some oldie-but-goodie lines: “It’s 2 o’clock in the morning. What the Hell do you want?” Tommy Lee Jones as Doolittle Lynn in “Coal Miner’s Daughter.” “220, 221, whatever it takes.” Michael Keaton in “Mr Mom.” ~VOW ---

we don’t have any choice!!! They use it all the time. When me and my GF are in the theater or watching TV we always give each other a poke and laugh hysterically. They use it in everything. It is in the teaser for Star Trek’s “The Menagerie”. One of our friend’s wife is always saying it: “No choice, Kenney!” Whenever we hear it we laugh and say “No choice, Kenny!”. But we don’t always say it that much IRL, because we are wise enough to know there is always a choice. ---

Should we do a seperate thread for TV show quotes? I ask, because something reminded me that during lulls in conversation I’ve been known to say “So I said to him, ‘Look, buddy, your car was upside down when we got here. And as for your Grandma, she shouldn’t have mouthed off like that’” And as for movies, I forgot, “You fool! You’re already dead, you just don’t know it yet.” 1. Simpsons, _Homer the Vigilante_ 2. Fist of the North Star (1986) ---

Whenever I’m asked what I’m doing on the computer: “Chatting online with babes all day” - Napoleon Dynamite When I want some of whatever my boyfriend is eating: “Give me some of your tots” - Napoleon Dynamite The square root of 3 poem from Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. We went to see this movie on our first date so sometimes instead of saying “I love you”, we’ll say “You’re my root 3”. Cheesy, I know. 🙂 Also at random times “O’Doyle rules!” - Billy Madison ---

From 1776: (Whatever we want to occur will happen) …in the not too distant (Whap!) future. John Hancock is saying that he hopes that General Washington will have better war news at that point. The “whap!” (which we always include) refers to Hancock swatting a fly.
