Movie Quotes You Use

“Vodka martini! Shaken! Not stirred!”

“I suggest we kill it quickly before it tries to make friends with us!” Withnail and I? Ranks up there with “We want fine wines, we want the finest wines known to humanity, we want them here and we want them now.” and the very creepy “I’m preparing myself to forgive you”, both from the same film.


It only hurts when I laugh.

I haven’t had the opportunity to use this Blackadder quote yet, but I live for the day when the opportunity presents itself.

Mastery is not perfection but a journey, and the true master must be willing to try and fail and try again

Another Simpsons quote…

I call my husband my Homey; not that’s he’s as stupid as Homer, but… well… um… anyhoo, once we walked into a store that features lots of expensive pointless little doo-dads and dust collectors, and the item that he instantly fell in love was a clock or paperweight or something with a little plastic “aquarium” and little plastic fake fish bobbing around in it. The neat thing was, the fish had magnets or weights or something in them that caused them to bob along the bottom in the gravel and along the sides of the tank kinda like a real fish does, and their little tails moved back and forth to give the illusion of swimming.

I thought they were cute, but my husband was enthralled, and he said, in the most awed voice I’ve ever heard, “That is the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen!” I couldn’t help myself. I blurted out, trying to sound equally awed, “The bird is drinking the water!” A reference to the Simpsons episode where Homer’s brother Herb tries to give the family a presentation for his idea of a baby translator, but Homer is more interested in Herb’s little bobbing dunking bird toy. “It’s drinking the water!”

So “The bird is drinking the water!” has become my code phrase for, “Ok, it’s neat, but take it down a notch or two, ok?” Ain’t I mean?


“I hope life isn’t a big joke, because I don’t get it,” Jack Handy

It was, “I’m a blonde, B-L-A-N-D,” wasn’t it? If not, it should have been. Also the “It’s only a flesh wound,” line is from The Producers. I don’t remember it from The Holy Grail, but even if it was there, it was in The Producers first.

Other good lines from The Producers:

“I’m wearing a cardboard belt!” (Anytime I’m feeling broke.)
“I’m in pain, I’m wet, and I’m still hysterical!” (When things get overwhelming.)
“I fell on my keys.” (After doing something clumsy.)
“Don’t help me.” (When someone’s “help” is actually making your situation worse.)

And of course the unforgettable song:

When it’s springtime for Hitler and Germany,
It’s winter for Poland and France!


That’s the way that it is on this bitch of an earth."
– Pozzo, Waiting For Godot

“He’s only MOSTLY dead.” --The Princess Bride (used to describe most of my plants)

“I am so smart! S-M-R-T!” --Homer Simpson (used when I figure something out)

Whenever my boyfriend and I make soup, one or both of us always says “No soup for you!” like the Soup Nazi from “Seinfeld.”

“I enjoy pushing lawn-mowing machine so Grandpa’s hyena don’t get disturbed.” --Sixteen Candles (when I’m getting ready to mow the lawn)

The “It’s only a flesh wound” line was used in Holy Grail early on when King Arthur is battling the Black Knight. Despite losing all of his limbs, the Knight keeps egging Arthur on, all the while insisting he isn’t really hurt.


“I hope life isn’t a big joke, because I don’t get it,” Jack Handy

Good Heavens, Greg Charles! You need to watch Holy Grail again! Pay attention to the scene with King Arthur fighting the Black Knight.

Almost any line from a Lethal Weapon movie.


“We’re gonna have lawyers here. It’ll be a fun time.”
–R.R.S.

Men are rats. Worse than that they’re fleas on rats. They’re ameobas on fleas on rats. They’re too low for even the dogs to bite. The only man a girl can trust is her daddy.

(When do you think I’d say that?)

Are you worried about male pattern baldness?

I know where we can get some great blueberry pie.


The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.
– Henry David Thoreau

When someone asks something like, “Who would do that?” I say, “Mr. T” (From “16 Candles” Molly Ringwald’s little sister says, “Who would marry her?” and the bratty brother says, “Mr. T”)

“What do we got that’s good?” (Apollo 13) When someone is complaining about multiple ailments or problems

If I’m writing a check and someone else looking over my shoulder, I will say, “Pay…to the order of…IronBalls McGinty…one dollar and NINE CENTS!!!” (The Jerk)
