You traded in the caddy? For a microphone? Yeah, I could see that.

  • Sundance

This one isn’t a line, it’s a facial expression. Perhaps the most memorable facial expression I’ve ever seen:

Robert De Niro is on the phone with a bail bondsman who need Charles Grodin to collect a huge bail refund. Grodin is standing by looking worried. De Niro says into the phone something like, “You don’t start playing my way I’m gonna cut this guy’s throat and dump his body in a ditch!” and then shakes his head dismissively towards Grodin. Grodin relaxes visibly. I was absolutely in stitches.

Ezekiel 25:17 -
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by inequity and the tyrannies of evil man. Blessed is he who shepperds the weak through the valley of darkness for he is truly his brother’s keeper.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the lord when i lay my vengeance upon thee

This is not a line, but a scene from Casablanca.
After Rick has denied knowledge of the stolen German couriers’ passes, Viktor Laszlo walks into the nightclub’s main room where some Gestapo officers have commandeered a piano and are singing “Deutschland Uber Alles” or “The Horst Wessel Song” or some German song (upon proofreading this, I think it was “Am der Rhine”).
Laszlo asks the band to play a number, and, with Rick’s permission, it strikes up “Les Marseilles.” Laszlo begins singing and the whole club, some persons with tears in their eyes, join in, drowning out the fascists.
Major Strasser then demands that Louis close down the nightclub. Louis protests, saying “But everyone is having such a good time.”
The major insists so Louis steps to the middle of the floor and announces Rick’s Cafe Americain has shut down. When Rick protests why, Louis replies: “I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on.”
The croupier then enters the room, hands Louis a wad of money and says: “Here are your winnings, sir.”
Louis says: “Thank you.”


The Paul Newman movie “Nobody’s Fool” has some hilarious lines in it. In one scene he’s sitting out on the snowcovered steps of his simpleminded friend’s house and warns him to be careful or his pecker will freeze to the step. The friend sadly replies that his doesn’t reach that far and Newman continues his line of obvious BS by saying that his does, but it’s ok because he folded it in half. The friend sighs and says as if explaining something to a small child:

“It would HURT, if you FOLDED it.”

“I distrust a close-mouthed man. He generally picks the wrong time to talk and says the wrong things. Talking’s something you can’t do judiciously, unless you keep in practice. Now, sir, we’ll talk if you like. I’ll tell you right out, I’m a man who likes talking to a man who likes to talk.” – Gutman, in The Maltese Falcon

“I remember Paris perfectly. The Germans wore grey, you wore blue.” – Rick, Casablanca

Lex Non Favet Delictorum Votis

Hmm. List seems a bit short on science fiction. The classics, damn it. What do they teach you kids in school these days? (The Matrix? Come on . . .)

“Is this a testing weither I’m a replicant, or a lesbian, Mr. Deckard?”
Followed closely by “That was irrational. Not to mention, unsportsman-like.”

And, of course, the best line from the evil dead series,
“WHO’S LAUGHING NOW!!!”

“I’m sorry Dave. I can’t do that.”
2001, of course. And, of course, “My God, it’s full of stars . . .”

“You have forgotton something,” “You do not understand. But you will,” and “Understanding is a Three Edged Sword,” from Babylon 5. Heck, pretty much anything that either of the Koshes said. Or J’Kar. Or Londo, for that matter.

Or, for comic effect, I always liked “I WILL KILL HIM!!!” from Dune.


“Like an ant trying to fight God.”

I have another favorite from the Evil Dead series, although I’m not really sure if “Army of Darkness” could be considered part of that series.

“Give me some sugar baby.”

Some other fav’s

“This is like Dr. Seuess’ nightmare.” -Armageddon

“Close your eyes. Now, forget what you see. What do you feel?” --Kala, Tarzan

“If this is all a dream, why can’t there be more girls?” --Major West, Lost in Space (movie)

And of course, the great and quotable screenplays of John Patrick Shanley:

“My father says almost the whole world’s asleep. Everybody you know, everybody you see, everybody you talk to. He says only a few people are awake. And they live in a state of constant total amazement.” --Patricia Graynamore, Joe versus the Volcano by John Patrick Shanley

“Waiter! Could you do away with her dinner and any evidence of her and bring me a big glass of Vodka?” --Perry, Moonstruck by John Patrick Shanley

“I’m just too much for human existence – I should be animated.”
