“I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass… and I’m all out of bubblegum.”

Is this a “guess the movie” thing, or are we just throwing quotes out ( 'cuz Clubber Lang said that “pain” line in Rocky III)?

“Shoot straight, you bastards! Don’t make a mess of it!”

“You’re like the drunken, abusive grandfather I never had.”

“We’ll rent to start.”

“Round up the usual suspects.”

“Sleep… now.”

Don’t know… I didn’t really have a plan. I just had to get the quote out on the interwebs.

On the off-chance that you may have missed this classic, the set-up is

[Shane 1953 Jack Palance - And where do you think you’re going?](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4qQtWjXPv4&feature=related)

and the payoff is

[Low Down Yankee Lier](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE3mHhpGV2A&feature=related)

I love the movie but don’t recall the line as such. Got a clip?

We watched this last night.

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time… like tears in rain… Time to die.”

[Try this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DJZtf2aS2Y&feature=related)- the exchange starts at about 1:45 or so- make sure you watch what happens after the line (“prove it” is right at 2:00).

Oh, yes! That was a great scene in a great movie. I suppose the _Shane_ line was so deep down in my reptilian brain that the use of it in _Bad Santa_ didn’t jump out at me. Thanks for the refresher.
