but I would have to say that my most frequently used movie quote is from Robocop: “I’ll buy that for a dollar!” It pops out of my mouth unbidden. There are many others that crop up, but that one really is the one I say most often. stoid ---

VogueVixen, how could I forget that CaddyShack line? well, looks like I’m gonna be renting a movie… and I remembered one! “do you smoke after Sex?” “I dunno baby, I never looked!” Austin Powers II International Man of Mystery “There you are!” (Austin Powers) “Do I know you?” (some Texan guy) “NO! but there you are!!” (Austin Powers) Austin Powers I “I AM INVINCIBLE!!!” (Boris, Goldeneye) I use the above a lot seeing as I work with computers… only problem, I work in a corporate office… I get lotsa strange looks at work… ummm… I use “Wait a Tick!” and… “Crikey!!” a lot also, both from Austin Powers ummm… y’all remember that scene from Billy Madison where that kid is all like I had an accident, what do you mean you had an accident, and then the kid turns around to reveal a BIG wet spot on his jeans in the crotch, and Adam Sandler yells… “GOO!!!” I use that ALL the time!!! anyhow… I’m sure I’ll think of more… Peace, out ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by JSexton \* > \*\*To all other frequent film quoters: Don’t you hate it when you say something quick, witty, and wholly original, and your friends say, “What’s that from?” Dammit, I made it up! I have a brain of my own, you know! “No, really, isn’t that from Buckaroo Banzai?” No, it’s from me, you pinhead! \*\* Well, when I say something quick and witty that’s mine, it’s usually to slam someone. And then only my SO hears it, whereupon he says, “WHAM!” When I slam him, however, he falls to the floor trying to reach the knife in his back, with all the requisite caterwauling. I’m not exaggerating. OK, that was a hijack. I’ll add that I also use the “He don’t even have his license, Lisa” line from Sixteen Candles, as well as the “She got married?” line. And (this is going to sound bad), I use the “Well you moved in, didn’t you?” line from Splash, in response to “Do you love me?” He knows I’m joking… Also, I noticed someone on the SDMB refer to his/her SO as “my to blave” (Princess Bride). I like it! I think I might start using that. ---

Am I the only one who uses “Right turn, Clyde.” ??? Clint Eastwood, in one of the Dirty Harry movies, I think. I just love that line and use it without thinking - cracks me up every time. I am easily amused. I also love using “there is no spoon” from the Matrix (love that movie!) ---

**Lost:** As I don’t remember Dirty Harry having a frisky orangutan as a sidekick, I’m pretty sure “Right turn, Clyde” is from the _Every Which Way You Can/Any Which Way But Loose_ movies. But yeah, it’s pretty hilarious. ---

“He don’t even have a license Lisa.” is from Weird Science. I use “Good, bad, I’m the one with the gun.” - Army of Darkness “You’re so analytical. Sometimes you just have to let art flow over you.” “I think the guy in the hat did something terrible.” - both from The Big Chill “Sell crazy somewhere else, we’re all full up here.” - As Good as it Gets “You had me at hello.”- Jerry McGuire (I always use it at inappropriate moments though) “What is your major malfunction” - Full Metal Jacket As well as various televisionisms. ---

I’m walking!" - _Midnight Cowboy_** When I have to put together the monthly “kilometres driven” list for the trucks on my crew, what do I say (usually repeatedly)? **"The more you drive, the less intelligent you are." - _Repo Man_** ---

**lissener, Samonek** : I didn’t think anyone else was going to mention BB. Here’s more: **The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai in the Eighth Dimension** “Nice suit. What’s in the big pink box?” “Everyone ‘need see Buckaroo’.” “Sealed with a curse, as sharp as a knife. Doomed is-a your soul and-a damned is-a your life.” -“Where are we going?” -“Planet 10!” -“When are we going?” -“Real soon!” **Pipeliner** , every such list has got to have **Repo Man** : “There’s fuckin’ room to move as a fry cook!” And, for more Alex Cox, **Straight to Hell** : (positively _screamed_ by a very pregnant Courtney Love): “NORWOOD! WE’RE SUPPOSED TO KEEP A LOW PROFILE!! NORWOOOOOD!!” **T2** : “This does not help our mission.” **Total Recall** : “Cheap domes.” (in answer to, e.g., “What happened to John?” i.e., where did John go?) **The Big Lebowski** : (in stoner whine) “He treats _objects_ like _women_, man.” **The Philladelphia Story** : “The course of true love–” “–gathers no moss.” And, the inevitable: “That’s no moon.” “I sure hope the old man got that tractor beam out of commission.” [whine]“But I was going to go to Tashi station and get some power convertors.”[/whine] “I’ve got a bad feeling about this.” “Never tell me the odds.” ---
