> [@Eve](#): > > That is supposedly what Dorothy Parker said when her phone rang. You may be thinking of Bette’s “Fasten your seat belts–it’s going to be a bumpy night” from _All About Eve._ Well. . .I seem to have a distinct memory of seeing this in a movie, but can’t remember which one or who the actress was. The internet seems to go with the Parker notion, though. Perhaps it was in a movie _about_ Dorothy Parker. As for your second sentence, see my previous post. ---

I’ve got tons, and will probably remember more as soon as I post this. “MUMBLER!” - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory “Wrong!” - Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (it’s all in the tone) “Because, Charlie, they’re nit-twits.” - Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (when asked why somebody does something a certain way) “I’ll be back” and “He’ll live” from the Terminator movies “Put the bunny in the box.” - Con Air “Think they’ll have \*that \*on the tour?” - Jurassic Park “That’s the worst idea in the long sad history of bad ideas.” - The Lost World “That’ll do, pig.” - Babe “Hello, Clarice.” - The Silence of the Lambs (one of our cats is named Clarice) “Children of the night! Shut up!” Love at First Bite “I’m not even a bat anymore! I’m a black chicken! I’m a yenta with skinny legs!” - Love at First Bite “I thought we were having a stating the obvious contest.” - House “Tina! Eat your ham!” - Napoleon Dynamite “Yer a wizard, Harry!” - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone “We have a T-Rex!” - Jurassic Park “It’s kind of a ride.” - Jurassic Park “He’s an idiot. Parents were probably idiots too.” - Back to the Future ---

I just saw Take Me Home Tonight this past weekend on DVD but I’m not positive about the line. Something like: “It’s not rocket surgery” or “It doesn’t take a rocket surgeon” I haven’t used it yet, but I’m planning on it as soon as I possibly can. I also use, “Why don’t you make like a tree and GET OUTTA HERE!” from Back To The Future. ---
