“That’ll be the day!” - _The Searchers_. Must be said with intense John Wayne accent whenever a skeptical comeback is needed.

“What is dis idiot babbling about?” - _The Little Mermaid_. Pretty self explanatory. Works best with a Jamaican accent.

“Burn the witch!” “May we burn her?” - _Monty Python and the Holy Grail_. I get this one a _lot_ whenever clever python fans learn of my religion.

“SSssssssNEAKIN’!” - _Return of the King (LoTR)_. Whenever someone asks me what I’m doing. It’s Golum’s line.

And lots, lots more . . .

Always we regret not having these quotations at our fingertips…

“I foresee no isoluble problems”  
-Flight of the Phoenix, a 1965 Jimmy Stewart film about a plane crash in the desert.

“I want my two hundred dollars !”  
-Tatum O’Neal in Paper Moon  
(a favorite of an old girlfriend. Who subsequently took my car.)

“It looks fake. I like it !”  
-Tom Hanks in Joe Versus the Volcano, referring to Los Angeles.

“He hates these cans! Get away from the cans!”  
-Steve Martin in The Jerk. Used whenever equipment goes haywire, usually with flame and smoke.

I’d like to nominate as the king of the movie quote Mr. Mike Birmingham, of the Starbucks Coffee IT department in Seattle. Just in case we’re taking nominations, that is. Mike doesn’t need original speech, as someone, sometime, said it better on screen.

Hey Auraseer…watch the movie again. There is this great scene in it where Arnold defeats the invading hoards, then laminates the women with a shiny, mauve ceramic glaze.

And I don’t think the line was “actuall” lamentations, but it might have been **actually** lamentations.

Now this isn’t the pit, or I’d call ya a poopy head.

_Note: the precieding(sp) post was a lighthearted poke at the Grammer Police. Despite the way he looks in the morning, Sealemon88 is NOT a troll._
