Movie Quotes you don't use in everyday life (but wish you did)

OK We have this other thread, but it is about quotes you do use in everyday life when the occasion arises.
But, if you’re like me, and I’m awesome, you have a set of movie quotes ready to use, but the occasion just hasn’t come up. Frustrating isn’t it?

For me, I’ve always wanted a real occasion to use the phrase, “Quick! The game’s afoot and we haven’t a moment to lose!” Sadly, I’m hardly ever coming across key clues that lead me to my nemesis but only if I act quickly. I think the last time I did use it was when hurrying to return a VHS to blockbuster before midnight to avoid the late fee, so, it’s been awhile.
I also would love to use, “I know it was you Fredo, you broke my heart” but I’m hardly ever betrayed or when I am I don’t know who did it. I suppose if I found out who was betraying me I could use both quotes in one day.

So do you have any special reserve quotes?

“Fuck you, you fucking fuck!” (Frank Booth, Blue Velvet)

Oh wait. I do say that.

3

Beat me to it! (Also said by Clive Owen in Shoot 'Em Up.)

4

I’ve been making an effort to use “What ho,” for hello, and “Toodle-pip” for goodbye, given all the Jeeves and Wooster I’ve been watching, but I never remember, dash it!

5

I DO use this one in real life sometimes, though i’ve never found an occasion where i’ve really been able to follow through with it;

“I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I am all out of bubblegum.”

6

“My hovercraft is full of eels.” Not easy to wedge that plausibly into conversation.

7

Try “My overcraft is full of heels.” It’s sure to slot in somewhere.

8

“Again we see there is nothing you can possess which I cannot take away.”

I’d like to be able to use this quote from Ghostbusters, “Ray, if someone asks if you are a god, you say, ‘Yes!’”

And I completely agree with Roger Rabbit here:
Eddie Valiant: You mean you could’ve taken your hand out of that cuff at any time?
Roger Rabbit: No, not at any time. Only when it was funny.

10

I had a friend who managed to use that phrase more often then most people. But since he had a habit of saying random things as people walked by, it wasn’t a difficult task.

11

"Bathe her and bring her to me."

12

“Contemplate this on the tree of woe.”

I’ve said it once or twice. It lacks something when you don’t follow through with an actual tree crucifixion. If I’m ever in a position to order someone to be crucified you can bet I’ll take this pony out for a trot.

13

Fuck you, fuckball!

14

“Whadda hear, whadda say?” Angels With Dirty Faces - James Cagney, Pat O’Brien.

15

And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by from this day until the ending of the world but we in it shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers, For he today who sheds his blood with me shall be my brother, Be he ne’er so vile, this day shall gentle his condition, and gentlemen in England now abed shall think themselves acursed they were not here, and hold their manhoods cheap whilst any speaks, that fought with us upon St. Crispin’s day!

16

I first read that as “And Crispin Glover shall ne’er go by…”
But good one NCB.

17

The whole monologue from Cool Hand Luke: “Well, what we have here is, a failure to communicate…”

Also, “Daddy is the breadwinner”, preferably while choking someone. *

  • If you get this, congrats!
18

“Them! Them!”

19

“He tasks me! He tasks me and I shall have him! I’ll chase him round the moons of Nibia and round the Antares maelstrom and round perdition’s flames before I give him up!”

Funny.

Yeah, it’s a hard quote to work into a conversation.
