“He’s in the car.” – Keven Costner as Elliot Ness in _The Untouchables_, after Andy Garcia’s character asks him where Nitti is. Ness had thrown him off the roof and he landed on a car "I wouldn’t say I’ve been _missing_ it, Bob. – Ron Livingston as Peter Gibbons in _Office Space_ And the next one is a series of one liners that each play off of each other. From _My Cousin Vinny_. Mona refuses to answer Vinny’s question: Vinny: Your Honor, may I treat this witness as hostile? Mona Lisa: You think I’m hostile now? Wait till tonight. Judge Haller: Do you two know each other? Vinny: Yeah, she’s my fiancée. Judge Haller: Well, that would certainly explain the hostility. ---

There are few lines from Galaxy Quest that _don’t_ crack me up… Office Space is another movie with just tons of great quotes. Emperor’s New Groove has some other really great lines. This scene is one of my all time favorites: “Kuzko mocking Chicha: Unless you change your mind, I’m not taking you back. Me me me, wah wah wah. (picks up a rock and chucks it at Chicha) Huh? What? I didn’t do anything. I didn’t… Somebody’s throwin’ stuff. You gonna build a fire or what?” Firefly: “I _knew_ you let her kiss you!” “This must be what going mad feels like.” Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou?: “You two’re just dumber’n a bag of hammers.” "Wait a minute. Who elected you leader of this outfit? Well Pete, I figured it should be the one with the capacity for abstract thought." Madagascar 2: Lead Penguin: “I find it shiny and hypnotic!” I’m sure I’m probably missing something crucial, but I just can’t think of anything more. ---

More from _Firefly_: When Jayne offers to trade his gun (“Vera”) for Mal’s new wife Saffron, Mal’s comment: “My days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.” And after Shepherd Book’s warning to Mal that taking sexual advantage of Saffron would destine him to a “special hell,” Book hears that Mal and Saffron kissed. He glares at Mal as he says, “Well, isn’t that… special?” After Mal, the long underdog in a sword duel, has his opponent down on the ground before him, he says, “It takes a great man to show mercy.” Then he stabs the guy, non-fatally but painfully, and says, “I guess I’m just good.” Then inflicts another painful stab wound and allows, “Well, maybe just O.K.” ---

The following are from _ **The Jerk** _ - this movie is so quotable. Still my favorite comedy of all time. “Father, you seem like a religious man.” (said to a priest) “Lord loves a workin’ man; don’t trust whitey; see a doctor and get rid of it.” “These cans are defective!” “First I get my name in the phone book and now I’m on your ass. You know, I’ll bet more people see that than the phone book!” “For one dollar I’ll guess your weight, your height, or your sex.” ---
