“He chose…poorly” is one I use a lot. If my wife is within earshot she will respond “Grasshopper” confusing my epic Indian Jones quote she doesn’t remember for the tv show Kung Fu she had never seen.
Whenever I present an option to someone I tend to blurt out “Choose, but choose wisely”
My wife and I quote a lot from Last Crusade, but not in public. I will admit, though, “he chose…poorly” probably comes out the most in public. In private, we quote it all the time. It’s one of our favorite movies. I actually think Last Crusade is Spielrberg’s best film.
I am going to be thinking about this film and only the quotes you would say to your wife only in private all day now.
“What? I’m just as good as the next man.”
“I WAS the next man, dad.”
“We’re not taking the boat?”
“Aaaaand the chair!”
I’ll throw out a “That’s a bold move Cotton” whenever it either seems appropriate, or makes no sense, as in the original usage.
“Always with the negative waves!”
Hehe, that is a good one. I often say the whole “That’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for him.” when someone does something particularly insane.
Today it was:
“Thanks for that; I’ll log that away.”
Spoken by Kuzco in The Emperor’s New Groove. Actually I think my kids and I use every line of that movie at every opportunity.
Here’s a deep cut. The novelization of Ghostbusters has a bunch of lines and scenes that weren’t actually in the movie, as is usually the case. Often the novelizers (novelizationers?) are working off an earlier draft of the script. In the book, right after the team has basically demolished the hotel trying to catch Slimer, Venkman says “Well, that was as easy as pushing smoke into a bottle with a baseball bat.” Not in the movie, but forever in my vernacular.
I have been known to say
“Porthos, have you no education? What do you think religious wars are all about?”
on occasion when someone asks why something stupid is being fought over. Dodgeball gets love from me too.
“I have been to the Great Wall of China…”
although the line that I say most often (to the cats) is
“Nobody makes me bleed my own blood!”
I use the “He choose,poorly” that was mentioned above a lot, and (usually quietly to myself) “that boy ain’t right.” from the TV series King of the Hill
Another couple my wife and I use when things are getting chaotic or someone’s being unreasonable:
“Get the busy bee!” from Best In Show.
Or from the same movie when someone start listing examples of things and goes on too long:
“Peanut nut, pinenut, hazel nut…”
Any time someone says “Could be worse”, i immediately chime in with “Could be raining.”
Okay, I’ve heard that one but can’t bring the movie to mind. Please tell me?
Young Frankenstein. Gene Wilder and Marty Feldman are digging up a grave.
Wilder: “God, what a disgusting job!”
Feldman: “Oh, I don’t know. It could be worse.”
Wilder: “How?”
Feldman: “Could be raining.”
Follwed by lightning, thunder, and a downpour.
Thanks! I can see it in my head now.
Whereas I do some variation on the ST:TOS episode The Naked Time, although it’s evolved over the years so that it probably bears little resemblance to Lt Riley’s moves.
All the time, anything that’s double-ententrish.
“So, are we just not doing phrasing any more?”
“Do you want X? This is how we get X.”
