Doesn’t look like it will be reflected in awards, but this is my favourite Hollywood story of 2011 by a mile.
“Jumping butterballs!”
“Consider that a divorce”
“Your mother mates out of season.”
Captain, it is I, Ensign Pulver, and I just threw your stinkin’ palm tree overboard! Now what’s all this crud about no movie tonight?
Dyin’ ain’t much of a living, boy.
You just keep thinkin’, Butch. That’s what you’re good at.
Well, he should have armed himself if he’s going to decorate his saloon with my friend.
“Oh, no. 'Twas Beauty killed the Beast.”
“No, Mr. Bond! I expect you to Die!”
“You’re the son of a Farmer, aren’t you?”
“Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.”

“He left me for another woman. A deceased one. They’re always the stiffest competition.”

Deservin’s got nuthin’ to do with it.

Badges? We don’t got no badges! We don’t need no steenking badges!
'As you wish"
“Nobody’s perfect.”
All time favorite of the Dope:
“I suggest we nuke 'em from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.”
“Scarlett’s gonna have puppies!”
“One’s blue, the other’s yellow, and they both say ‘Yankee go home’!”
Yeah, I considered adding that one.
I wonder how obscure it is anyone under the age of fifty. I like this game of posting unattributed quotes.
“Why Richard, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world… but for Wales?”
“More! You should have been a cleric!” “Like yourself, your Grace?”
“I find your lack of faith disturbing.”
“Clearly I miscalculated a few things.”
“Whoa.”
“She saves him right back.”
“They lack our altruism, sir.”
“Yes, but they were all bad.”
“. . . Has anyone seen that building out there before?!”
“They gon’ go medieval on his ass!”
