In Bruges: “Why did you not wave at me yesterday when I waved at you yesterday?”

I actually watched the Flash Gordon SciFi TV series, partly. It was AWEFUL, but full of badly funny lines. Check it out for an irredeemably bad show.

“I’ve never seen anything like it! A dead body!”  
“I think my pie should be eaten alone!”

One of my favorites from Red Green was the credo of their “Men’s Club” that they all said together at meetings:

“I’m a man…but I can change…if I have to…I guess.”

Black soldier: “What did he just say?”

John Candy: “He said… Black guys… _shoving black soldier_ help the white guys!”

It’s just a rediculous moment with stressed out people freaking out over a nothing thing, but it’s funny. 😃

Exchange from an SVU about kidnapped frozen embryos a/k/a snowflakes:

Snowflake Lady: We believe all frozen embryos are people that should be given a womb to mature in so they can be adopted.  
Finn: That ought to make a lot of gay and lesbian couples happy.  
Snowflake Lady: Oh, no. We only support adoption to the right couples.  
Finn: Yeah. Straight, white & Christian.  
Snowflake Lady: We’re not prejudiced. Christians come in all colors.

> In _A Scanner Darkly_, Robert Downey plays an annoying know-it-all with paranoid delusions. He keeps going to the police with his latest rambling accusations about Keanu Reeves’s character, and by the end of the movie the detectives throw him out of their office. As a cop is escorting him out, Downey asks, “If I’m to be incarcerated, shouldn’t you be issuing me protective lotions?”

I had an onion on my belt, which was the fashion at the time. . .

Dr. Peter Venkman: Hee hee hee! “Get her!” That was your whole plan, huh, “get her.” Very scientific.

Dr Ray Stantz: Personally, I liked the university. They gave us money and facilities, we didn’t have to produce anything! You’ve never been out of college! You don’t know what it’s like out there! I’ve _worked_ in the private sector. They expect _results_.

Frito: Yah I know this place pretty good, I went to law school here.

Frito: Yah I couldn’t believe it myself, luckily my dad was an alumnus and pulled some strings.
