Okay, I’m going to post not the ones I would like to use, but the ones I actually use. My husband and I speak Dutch, so when we use a quote from and English movie or show it is obvious. “Mwuhaha!” (Standard evil overlord laugh) “My food is problematic” (from Serenity, often used with not quite enough cooked spaghetti) “I’ll make him an offer you can’t refuse”. Godfather. This one is even obvious when translated to Dutch. I have used it on my job on occasion. “I’m not feeling sexual today”. This one comes from a very cheap Tsjech soft porn movie we once watched, where the sulking male protagonist says it to his hot movie wife. We use it sometimes when one of us accedentally touches the other. ---

I forgot one I use almost every day, even if sometimes I only think it to myself: Whenever I hear someone say “in comparison to…” I ALWAYS think: “Comparisons are odorous.” I got it from the BBC version of Much Ado About Nothing that I have on video from the 1980s. I love that production SO much. ---

“Don’t act like you’re not impressed!” - **Anchorman** , when Ron Burgundy is walking around with a “massive erection” straining the fabric of his pants Also from **Anchorman** , after the news team brawl: “That escalated quickly!” “Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” from **Dirty Dancing** “You have a truly dizzying intellect.” from **The Princess Bride** When getting ready to leave with friends from a bar/restaurant/party, taken from **Swingers** : “This place is dead anyway!” And yes, I still sometimes also tell people “You’re so money, baby, and you don’t even _know_ it!” ---

> [@SiXSwordS](#): > > He doesn’t like you. > _I_ don’t like you either. You just watch yourself. … I have the death sentence on twelve systems. Non-sequitor, mostly. Love the Robot Chicken take on this and will sometimes quote that after we get to that scene. > [@SiXSwordS](#): > > Also, > These aren’t the droids you’re looking for > > And since I botched the previous… > > No. _I_ am your father. My friend has a t-shirt that has a stormtrooper sitting, holding his head, that is captioned, Those WERE the droids I was looking for. Back on topic, I mentioned this to my gaming friends last night and we all laughed. I have (unfortunately) told my wife we almost quoted something, sometimes in the middle of an argument, and she doesn’t like that for some reason. I say so many movie quotes on a daily basis, that I know I can’t remember them all. I’ll be back. What is it with you and curses? This is cursed, that is cursed. Oh, lookey who knows so much! Inconceivable. You keep using that work. I do no think it means what you think it means. WHAT? WHAT won’t be coming back? It’s all in the reflexes. I thought they smelled bad on the outside. Have fun storming the castle. Was that a piece of my gorram car? Somebody tries to kill you, you try and kill them right back! That’s a dumb planet. Mercy is the quality if a great man. _stab_ Well, I’m a good man. _stab_ I’m okay. You get to drink from Mr Fire Hose! Supplies! They travel in single file lines to hide their numbers. (That came up last night.) I don’t know. I find it remotely possible someone might find you hot. The Truth is Out There Trust No One Tell him about the twinkie. What about the twinkie? (Both from last night.) Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya! You killed my father! Prepare to die! Never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line! What are you supposed to be? Space Cowboy. I mean, seriously. My friends and I still try and quote movies and TV. We give each other more points, which don’t matter, if the quote fits the situation. Better than normal, anyway. I’m sure that’s normal for this board, don’t get me wrong, but I have had entire conversations with people based on movie quotes! ---
