**The Big Lebowski:**

Maude - “My art has been commended as being strongly vaginal which bothers some men. The word itself makes some men uncomfortable. Vagina.”

The Dude - “Oh yeah?”

The Dude - “Johnson?”

There was only one, and it is no longer - as a child I knew ‘Animal House’ by heart, we had HBO and I watched it over 60 times. It is still extremely familiar but I don’t think I could remember each and every line.

Found out the other night my wife knows ‘The Ten Commandments’ line for line, even what individual members of the crowd in the background are saying.
