"Oswald was a fag. " Usual Suspects “I love the smell of napalm in the morning!” please…Apocylypse Now “I don’t need to escape from reality; I am reality!” Platoon > [@Biggirl](#): > > “Chefs do that.” There’s actually a line a like better: Bad guy: This is a GUN lady!!! Samuel L (from behind) : THIS ain’t no ham on rye…sorry…I would have been here sooner but I was thinking up the “ham on rye” line. Guess these: “I sure hope that’s not a hostage…” “The reason you didn’t see that sign because it AINT FUCKING THERE BECAUSE STORING DEAD N- AINT NONE OF MY FUCKING BUSINESS!!!” “Hell I LIKE YOU!! You can come over and fuck my sister!!” “The object will reach Earth in an hour and 58 minutes.” “I’ll call you in two hours” ---

> [@Suburban Plankton](#): > > “Never drive faster than you can see” I’m guessing _Big Trouble in Little China_, except I think the quote there is “I never drive faster than I can see” Practically every line in that script qualifies. “We really shook the pillars of heaven, didn’t we, Wang?” “No horseshit, Jack.” ---

Armageddon. Actually, the “Yippie Ky-yay mother fucker” line was from Die Hard 2. How about: “Do you want the LD, or do you just want to be held?” ---

> [@Nurobath](#): > > “I said LAN-O-LIN, not that aloe-vera bullshit! Get it right, mutha fucka!” _The Big Hit_ I admit I used imdb for the title, but only because I couldn’t remember more than "that movie with Marky Mark, Lou Diamond Philips, the kidnapped schoolgirl, and a video release of “Golden Showers”’. A very fun movie, though. – My submissions: “Dead or alive, you’re coming with me.” “AK-47. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every motherf\*\*\*er in the room.” ---

> [@Meatros](#): > > Actually I’m pretty sure that was from Die Hard 1. I remember it from the part at the end when he is laying in the snow and the plane is taking off and he flips open the zippo to ignite the fuel and blow up the plane. It may have been in the first one too though. I haven’t seen that one in a while. ---

Good call on the 5th element. How about: “For 500 bucks I’ll kill whoever you want. But keep this in mind: I’d happily kill you for free.” ---

**Meatros** is right. That line is from Die Hard (it may have also been used in Die Hard 2 but it was used in the first one when McLaine is talking to Hans on the walkie-talkie for the first time). > [@](#): > > “I sure hope that’s not a hostage…” Is also from Die hard. ---

A few more. “Can we try with real bullets now?” "Smile, and say “Flight from prosecution.” “I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.” ---
