“You compared Nazis to Democrats?” – Patton, paraphrased
“Now, I know you don’t smoke weed. But we’re gonna get you high today. Cause it’s Friday, you ain’t got a job, and you got shit to do” – Friday
“You got knocked the fuck out, man!” --ibid
“You want some of Deboe?” --ibid
“As long as they don’t send us to that horrible, horrible planet of the apes. Wait a minute… Statue of Liberty. That was our planet! You maniacs! You blew it up! Damn you! Damn you all to hell!” --Homer Simpson
“I was cured, all right” --Clockwork Orange, the coolest movie ever made
“Greed, for lack of a better word, is good” --I think Michael Douglas in Wall Street
All Simpsons quotes are perfect for any occasion. Same goes for Monty Python; some of my personal faves:
“An argument isn’t just saying ‘no it isn’t.’”
“Yes it is.”
“No it isn’t!”
“You second-hand electric donkey bottom-biter.”
“She was my best friend.”
“Oh, Mother, don’t be so sentimental. Things explode every day.”
Any of the above can be used for any reason or no reason at all.
One movie quote that I’m surprised nobody has mentioned is from A Few Good Men and is great to use when you believe you are right but just can’t think of how to back up your claim:
“The truth? You can’t HANDLE the truth!”
“Don’t worry, you’ll be back on your knees in no time.” --As Good as it Gets
“My mom died, a fluke accident in a routine liposuction.” -Clueless
“No…YES!!”-Night at the Roxbury
The quote from Mr. Mom is “220, 221, whatever it takes”…not 240.
Another quoate I use (from Blazing Saddles), in my best Slim Pickens whine: “What in the Wide, Wide World of Sports is going on here?”
From a Bugs Bunny cartoon: “The South Pole? Ooooooh, I’m DYIN’” (this is really effective when watching the X-Files movie, when Mulder is given the location of Scully, and the slip of paper says she’s at 95 degrees South)
From Willy Wonka: “There’s no earthly way of knowing, what direction we are going.” (said when my kids ask where the car is headed)
From Robocop: “I LIKE it” (usable any time)
From Becket: “Will no one rid us of this mettlesome priest?” (said whenever someone is aggravating me)
where have you guys been all my life…I love all those old fliks:
the burbs,lost boys,F>Beuller,16 candles, willow was awesome,and better off dead was a classic, but I thought I was the only one who thought so!
clerks and grosse point blank are recent faves,

“thats gonna leave a mark”- when I hurt myself in public
AAAAARmt training sir! -when asked what are you doing.
IS that a pledge pin on your uniform???(mock angrily) when someone is wearing something unusual
I sat we go THISA WAY!! when debating routes to drive (its from WILLOW- I do it with a funny accent)
if a man gets me flustered…I fan mysely and say in a southern accent “well ah do declare!”
if a stranger ( a man ) offers assistance I say (again with the accent) “I have always depended on the kindness of strangers”
when expressing regrets over past decisions, I mumble “I coulda been a contenda”
From Life of Brian:
“‘Making it worse’? How could it be any worse? Jehovah! Jehovah!”
From PCI:
“Don’t be that guy.”
(Useful when someone is doing something they think is cool, but it’s cliche.) (Unfortunately, it gives away that I watched this awful film.)
From Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life:
“It’s only wafer thin.”
(When trying to convince someone to have seconds.)
From They Live! (I think):
“I came to kick butt and chew gum, and I’m all out of gum!”
From The Blue’s Brothers:
“This is glue. Strong stuff.”
“Stellllllll-aaaaaah” - Streetcar named Desire
“I couldah been a contendah” -On the Waterfront
“I’m an excellent driver.” -Rainman
“Get back here, I’ll bite off your leg!” -Monty Python’s Holy Grail
