> [@RickJay](#): > > “Shut that cunt’s mouth or I’ll come over there and fuck-start her head.” > > - Mr. Parker, “The Way of the Gun” > > It’s the first thing either of the protagonists says in the movie, and in fact the only thing they say in the opening scene before getting the shit kicked out of them. And it pretty much sums them up. Hey wait, so the two guys that get their ass kicked are the Main Peeps of the movie? I was directed to that movie in a thread in my signature and I thought the two main people in the big group were the Main Peeps. Can someone help me out here? I’d like to know because I criticized the movie rather harshly based on that opening scene being “done wrong”. The people that are all silent (relative to people constantly running their mouths) are supposed to be the bad asses and so when I saw them getting beat up, I flew into a rage. 😛 Can someone set me straight here? Thanks. ---

I love this line and I’ve even gotten to use it once or twice. “Well, if it ain’t a mess, it’ll do 'till one shows up.” Sheriff Bell, _No Country For Old Men_ ---

Thanks. The two guys are Parker and Longbaugh, and they are indeed the main peeps. They are worthless criminal scum who start that fight for no good reason. The only thing they’re good with is guns. And they’re very, very good with guns. And that’s what the movie’s about. ---

Do they at least go back and kill that group of people they started the fight with in the beginning? If not, I am fully prepared to write the movie off completely. What kind of characters that start off so bad ass can _not_ go back and take their revenge? ---

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Tuco and Blondie kill all of Angel Eyes partners and come to find Angel Eyes has escaped and left a note. Tuco picks it up: Tuco - See you soon, id… idio… Blondie - Idiots. It’s for you. And I think, from Ruthless People, Danny Devito’s character gets a phone call and says: DD - She can’t come to the phone right now, she’s got my dick in her mouth. then he hangs up and says “I love wrong numbers” I’ve actually used that line. 😃 (ok, so I’m immature) I have a list of a bunch of them too. No Country for Old Men is full of them. and “I drink your milkshake” from There Will Be Blood" has been used a few times. ---

> [@Bayard](#): > > From _Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid_: > > Mr. Garrett (Strother Martin) to Butch and Sundance, who are in the process of showing that they don’t really know much about planning a robbery: “Morons. I’ve got morons on my team.” Martin’s delivery just kills me. Some day, in a meeting, I want to pause, give a frustrated sigh, and say, “Morons. I’ve got morons on my team.” > > I think I’m the only person I know who quotes that line. Pleased to meet you. I’m the other. My other favorite obscure line from a famous movie is in Casablanca. Rick is thumbing through his dossier as Major Strasser ticks off its salient points. Rick looks up with a worried expression: “Are my eyes really brown?” ---

_Ruthless People_ has another great line when Danny DeVito wants to get rid of his wife’s dog: “Yes, your attack dogs. Do they just attack people or can you get them to attack little dogs?” “Muffy, meet Adolf. Adolf, **eat Muffy!** ” ---

_Big Trouble_: “Was that a goat?” “Got a Die Hard situation going down in the kitchen.” Dennis Farina just nails those lines. It’s a great, underrated little comedy with tons of nice lines. ---

I dunno if anything from Blade Runner counts because it lives in that weird sort of middle ground between cult classic and generally accepted film, but there’s something to be said for more credit for the line, “Too bad she won’t live. Then again, who does?” ---
