Two lines, both of which can ID the movie. “Do you think you have some sort of a chance against us, Mr. Cowboy?” “Yipee-ki-yay, Motherf\*\*\*\*r.” ---

Yeah, that was Grosse Point Blank again. 🙂 > [@](#): > > " So you’re Chekov, huh? Well, this here’s McCoy. Find a Spock, we got us an away team. " Same movie " Me. I’m the guy. I know everyone. I know their habits, who they hang out with. I got phone numbers, addresses. I know who they’re fucking, I know where they live. We could kill EVERYONE. " Boondock Saints. My buddy at work came in one day a couple of years ago and asked me if I knew about a movie…the only thing he remembered about it was that some guy threw a toilet off a roof to kill another guy. He didn’t remember any of the actors or anything else, just that it was a cool movie. I didn’t know what he was talking about so we spent about four hours searching online with just that little description. We finally found out that it was Boondock Saints (which I’d never heard of). Found a place in Canada with it on DVD and ordered 2 right there. Great movie. 🙂 Guess you had to be there. :dubious: ---

> [@xgxlx](#): > > The Long Kiss Goodnight, I believe. > > Whatever the name of the movie, it had to do with the lead (a female) chopping up vegetables really fast. She had recently aquired amnesia, and coudln’t remember what her previous occupation was (assasin), and deduced that since she could chop things up fast, she must have been a chef. I was thinking more of the scene soon after this when assasins are sent to her home and she kills them all using her kitchen knives. Her husband and kid look at her in disbelief and she says, “Chefs do that.” ---

“I got two guns. One for each of ya.” Doc Holliday in _Tombstone_ Mine’s slightly obscure, but memorable because the actor said it with a straight face: “I came here to kick ass and chew bubble gum… and I’m all out of bubble gum” ---
