Being a high school speech coach, I have on more than one occasion quoted Strother Martin in _Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid_: “Morons. I have morons on my team.” Other than that, lots of _Buffy_-isms, _BSG/Firefly_ swearwords, and random lines from 50 years of TV and film. ---

I use quite a few movie quotes in my everyday speech. I’ll list a few of the ones I use most often; along with the last time I used them: _Come out and take it, you dirty, yellow-bellied rat, or I’ll give it to you through the door!_ Last Used: Pet store…owner asks me if I’d like to feed the rodents…You mean the ones with the yellow tummies in the next room?, I ask… \*STELLA! \* Last Used: Wal-Mart…trying to get attention of store clerk… name tag said, “Stella”… _Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night!_ Last Used: I was aware that there were a bunch of bums sleeping in the gutters when I left the saloon last night…too much rum, too little food…no designated driver… _Top of the world, Ma!_ Last Used: So, I figured a nice Arctic vacation would be fun…decided to call mom… _Mrs. Robinson, you’re trying to seduce me._ Last Used: My neighbor, Mr. Robinson, was recently in a terrible accident…genitals could not be reattached…charitable guy that I am, I decide to take his wife a nice bundt cake as a gesture of heartfelt sorrow…wires got crossed…nice rack…things turned out a little different than I expected… \*You talkin’ to me? You talkin’ to me? You talkin’ to me? Well, who the hell else are you talkin’ to? You talkin’ to me? Well, I’m the only one here. Who the f–k do you think you’re talkin’ to? \* Last Used: So, I take my daughter to her pre-K class…could have sworn that her little classmate, Billy, said something to me… _I know what you’re thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I’ve kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?_ Last Used: I just finished re-seeding my lawn and this neighborhood brat treads all over it…didn’t say he was sorry…my wife says I sometimes have control issues…personally, I don’t see what all the fuss was about…didn’t puncture any vital organs…some people have no sense of humor… . ---

> [@Analogue Skywalker](#): > > normally I refrain from laughing outloud from things people say on messageboards when other people are in the room, but occasionally it happens. this is one of those times Thank you, **Analogue**. I’m flattered. Here’s another one just for work. I call our intern Damian “Damian: The Omen II” and sometimes yell “Daaaaaaaaaaaameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan” .

Not from any show directly . . . but, living in Florida (America’s #1 retirement Mecca), I sometimes find myself thinking (and occasionally saying out loud), “This is a job for DOCTOR KEVORKIAN!” ---

Fuck, just sat down to post this exact thread… “What a mindjob!” “Fuckin’ savages” “Ok ramblers, lets get rambling” “I’ll be the judge of that” “I’m not even supposed to be here today!” “Have you forgotten our kablammo talk?” “Watch out for the guns… they’ll get you” “ninety-nine percent of the time, it works… every time” (in response to being asked at work, Do you deliver? “Ten times out of ten” “Ooh, shiny” (Asked about my pastimes) “Hang out, bowl, the occasional acid flashback” and also from TBL “Bunch of assholes” and “dipshit with a nine toed woman” “Savvy?” “Allow me to retort” “You…are gonna…FAIL!!!” “Can I borrow a cup’a brown sugar?” “If you havin’ girl problems, I feel bad for you son” Cold got to be!" ( I dont even know what this means, or if I’m saying it right, I just use it as an exclamation when someone tells a horrible story) “Medic!!” (at the slightest injury) “Red, I do believe youre talking out your ass” “What is you? ig’nent?” and me and a friend do the whole “capiche? well, do you understand?” routine. And many, many more. In fact, I dont think I’ve ever said an original sentence in my life. PS, I’ve also started to give people the “Larry Stare” when I think they are lying, or keeping something from me. Its starting to wierd people out. Anyone else do that? ---

I’ve picked up a lot of Whedon-talk lately, the most commonly-used being \*\*“A s-what?” \*\*(Mal Reynolds, “Shindig”). Yes, even when the name of the item perplexing me does not start with “sw.” I don’t use many specific quotes from “Buffy,” but the unique style of speech used on the show has percolated into my own… I constantly verbify random words (“fooding”), or affix “-age” onto other words (“sleepage”). It drives my linguistics major friends completely nuts, but I swear it’s involuntary! ---

A line I plan to use when the occasion merits it: - “Permissing to die trying, sir?!” (_Valiant_) Much of the script from _The Princess Bride_, but especially: - “You keep using that hword. I do na think it means what you think it means.” - “You were not hired for your brains, you hippopotamic land mass!” - “Inconceivable!” - The whole “have fun stormin’ the castle” dialogue. _Clue_ - “Mrs. Peacock was a _man_?” My daughter has decided that she believes in werewolves and frequently tells me how scared of them she is. Each time she brings up the subject I say “There wolf. There castle” – from _Young Frankenstein_, of course. I have also been known to quote voluminously from _Bloom County_, Eddie Izzard, Monty Python, and the works of Gilbert & Sullivan. ---

man, how could I forget? Maybe I’ve been using this so long I thought it was my own, but whenever a friend attemps something with goes arse over tit, I (and several of my friends) will be heard to exclaim: “Looks like he… hit the tree, Jim” Dont even try. You’ll never get it. Even I cant remember exactly… ---

“Hottentots!”, for unreasonable “everybody panic” type of moments (from some Bloom County strip I can’t remember) “No maam, we’re musicians”, when someone stops in to the cube at work asking if we’re the such-and-such group (from Blues Brothers). “I love it when a plan comes together”, general purpose, (from the A Team) “Happy happy Joy joy”, general purpose, (Ren and Stimpy) ---

> [@InternetLegend](#): > > Our whole family uses a line from the Invader Zim episode where Gir orders a pizza any time someone gives one of us something fairly trivial (but desired): “Thank you! I…I love you.” > > You have to say it with the right inflection, though. Zim is an excellent source of quotes that will either leave people in stitches or utterly perplexed. A friend of mine is a cashier, and one of her customers, who was wearing a Zim T-shirt, said she’d forgotten her loyalty card and asked if she could still get the discount. My friend said in a squeaky coaxing Gir voice, “Do a little dance!” The customer cracked up and did a little dance. Then they both turned to see as the store manager watching with an expression of horror on his face. I’m fond of shouting “SHUT YOUR NOISE-TUBE, HUMAN!” But only to close friends, because if you don’t know it’s a literary allusion, it’s extremely rude. Also, I know that the original is “taco human,” but very few of the humans I know are taco humans. ---

DH and I always found the “King of the Hill” episode where Kahn moves in hilarious, especially when Hank brings over a tank of propane, and Kahn responds with, “You honor me by giving me gas.” Now when we need to fill up the car, we talk about how “I’m going to be late home tonight; I have to stop and honor the car.” I got some really strange looks one day when someone asked me what I’d done over lunch - “Picked up stamps, stopped by the grocery store, honored the car…” ---

I don’t get that many chances to use it, but whenever anyone asks me “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?”\* I do my best to reply with - _"I think so,_ [name]_, but where are we going to find a rubber chicken and a length of hose at this time?_ I’d love to respond with - _"I think so_ [name]_, but if Jimmy cracks corn and no-one cares then why does he keep doing it?"_ but I’d start laughing half-way through. 😃 From Pinky & The Brain \*I cheat a bit here, it should be “are you _pondering_” not “thinking”, but when does anyone ever ask you that? 😛 ---

Oh, I forgot: “Stop saying that Withnail!” And me and a buddy always give each other the Costner/Garcia interchange from the untouchables, can be applied anywhere, after a trailer plays for a movie we want to see, a cute girl walks by, spot a DVD on sale… “You got him?” “Yeah, I got him…” And at work, we do the whole “Are you free?” “I’m free!” i think thats about it. I’ll probably think of more.
