Movie Quotes You Use

That quote was borrowed from Arthur O’Shaughnessy’s “Ode.” Two other quotes from the film:

“Where is fancy bred, in the heart or in the head?”

“So shines a good deed in a weary world.”

are from Shakespeare’s “Merchant of Venice.”
Thank you IMDB.

“My hovercraft is full of eels.”

I just watched Planes, Trains, and Automobiles last night and realized that one quote I use comes from that movie (obviously, I use it whenever anyone describes me as “unique”): “What’s ‘unique’? Latin for ‘asshole’?”

My sister uses another line from that movie, obviously whenever anyone takes something of hers without asking: “You STOLE it! He STOLE it!” Of course this is accompanied by much finger pointing and arm waving.

And, in an uncomfortable situation: “How about those Bears?” “Hell of a game, hell of a game!”

Lots of fun lines from that movie :slight_smile:


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

And whenever one of my co-workers gets made and lets out an impassioned, “Dammit!”, I’m usually quick to add, “Janet!” :slight_smile:

yours to draw…
