My quotes are mostly from The Princess Bride: When ever anyone says they must know something “Get use to disappointment” When ever anyone uses a word incorrectly “I do not think that word means what you think it means” And finally, whenever I can fit it in “My way is not very sporting is it?” I LOVE that movie. ---

“Our shituation hash not improved.” --Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, in my full-bore Connery imitation. A misquote from “Alien”, applied to Windoze: “Its structural imperfection is matched only by its hostility.” “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” --Princess Bride (this one gets dropped on managers in meetings a lot) Innumerable Monty Python quotes–I’m in a LARP group, after all. ---

It’s probably a misquote but: From Pulp Fiction - “That’s more information than I needed.” ---

When leaving a room, I occasionally use (in Arnold’s voice of course) “I’ll be back”. I also use the Ace Ventura line “spank you very much” and some of the Wayne’s World puns (“ex-squeeze me? A baking powder?”) ---

From “Dinner at Eight.” Whenever a friend says, “I was reading a book the other day,” I am incapable of not skidding to a halt, doing a Marie Dressler double-take and saying in amazement, “reading a BOOK?” ---

Not a movie, but a television show: Mad About You. There are so many Buchmanisms to choose from: “Not going to happen, my friend.” “What are you, kidding me?!” “Let’s not go there!” or “Do you want to go there?” “‘Fine’ fine or ‘kiss my ass’ fine?” “This is what I’m saying.” and “This is what I’m thinking.” And, of course, the indispensable “Not so much!” and “REALLY not so much!” ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by EnochF \* > **The entire script to _Clue_.** Enoch, I just fell in love with you. Years ago, a friend of mine made a **cassette tape** (of all things) of Clue, and I borrowed it and listened to it over and over again, whenever I was in the car. I got to where I could literally quote the entire film. I even have the Flames .wav file - Mrs. White was my second favorite, after Miss “It’s my defense mechanism” (which I also have the .wav of) Scarlet. Looking back, that doesn’t seem like quite the accomplishment, but hey, that was 10 years ago… I often use “To make a long story short (too late)” in message board posts or emails, and I like to say “ner” (Tim Curry style) in place of “no” in real life. Here are some other movies I use in everyday conversation: “Not especially” from Mannequin “Inconceivable!” from The Princess Bride “What does ‘incompetent’ mean?” from Highlander “No fair!” (babytalk style) from Pet Sematary “Let me do it!” from Mad TV (Stuart!) And I use, to full effect, Katharine Hepburn’s “withering glance” from Philadelphia Story. ---

If there’s a movie quote/entire philiosophy of life I overuse more than any other, it’s this Matrix-ism. It’s beautiful in its simplicity. If this line weren’t in the Matrix, the movie would have been a disaster. (Okay, exagerating now.) Some others: “That’s a 1970 Camaro, it’s the car I always wanted when I was 18. I RULE!” Words to that effect, Lester Burnham, American Beauty. “Salt?” Brazil (Kills me every time, I have no idea why.) “Computers are my forte” Also Brazil (You have to do the voice and tap your nose) “I sure do like them french fried pertaiters, mmmhmmm” Slingblade ---

current movie quotes in active use: Fight Club: “I am Jack’s [raging bile duct, complete lack of surprise, etc.]” Swingers: “Roll up, bitch!” “It’s on, baby!” “This place is _dead_ anyway!” Plus assorted Wayne’s World, Monty Python and whatever movie pops into my head based on free association quotes. ---

Forget movies, I don’t think I can go half an hour without quoting something from the simpsons to someone. Practically everything in life can be related to a Simpsons episode or quote. ---

when someone asks me to do something: “i’m, uh, kinda busy, rat” -damone to ratner in ‘fast times at ridgemont high’ when ratner forgets to bring his wallet on a date and he needs damone to bring it to him. when the waiter/waitress is late with my drink: “where’s my fucking drink? i ordered a drink.” -tommy to spider in ‘goodfellas’ shortly before t shoots s in the foot. my fellow drinkers usually just think i’m being belligerent until i tell them it’s from goodfellas. ---

husband does the french fried pertaiters too. And whenever we watch Antiques Road Show, he finds at least one opportunity to say “This guy’s a collectah!” like Morgan Freeman in Kiss The Girls I (or we) also use: “Look kids! Big Ben! Parliament!” (European Vacation, handy when lost) “Finally! A salesman who understands me!” (Ruthless People, every time we’re near a stereo display) “220, 221, Whatever it takes” (Mister Mom, whenever we’re trying a home improvement project) “Why don’t you just ASK for the money, Eddie? It’s obvious he can’t take a hint!” (Vacation, anytime I’m headed for husband’s wallet) “Sorry folks, park’s closed. Moose outside shoulda told ya” (Vacation. Nearly anytime we’re headed somewhere that we don’t know the business hours for) “Guess I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue!” (Airplane, handy most anytime) ---

Well I don’t remember which Kid’n’Play movie it came from but “That ain’t no turtle” was a popular expression to imply that a girl had a great butt.(In the movie the line was, something like "That ain’t no turtle, that’s ass!!!) Ohh, that’s gonna leave a mark - Spaceballs What we have heye is a failure to communinicate- Cool Hand Luc What an odd person. -Robin Hood Men in Tights. ---

In response to question: do you run? “Only when chased” -Real Genius I just saw this exchange in a movie and am dying to incorporate it in somehow: (drunk/rowdy dude is trying to get female protagonist to sing karaoke in a bar) Woman: I know a good one, it’s called “You’re an asshole when you drink.” -From “Paperback Hero” a little australian movie starring tasty-liscious Hugh Jackman. ahem. ---

Another Mulan quote I use “My little girl’s all grown up, and saving China” -said by Mushu.-from Mulan Truth is like a blanket that always leaves your feet cold" -Dead Poet’s Society A few from Robin Hood: Men in Tights-another one of my fav movies of all times: Pissed off? If I were that close to a horse’s weiner, I’d be worried about getting pissed on! No, we’re straight. Just merry. Robin:You’re shivering. What are you wearing underneath that gown?

there is one that I NEVER go a daw without saying… well… I’ll add to the list probably, but here they are… “yes, yes, Yes, YES, NO NO NO!!!” Austin Powers "that’s not right…?"Austin Powers, the scene where Mini-Me is giving him back his glasses, and gives him the middle when something isn’t goin’ my way, I’ll say a few lines from Caddyshack, one is always this one… “Freeze Gopher” and then I’ll go along the entire rest of the day talking in A Drunken/wasted Bill Murray voice ---

“Come on ramblers, let’s get rambling.” - Reservoir Dogs I’d say that one every morning to my son after I got him dressed and was going out the door with him to the sitter. “I have to go to work like a schnook.” - Goodfellas Said on a fairly regular basis to the girlfriend as I leave for work. ---
