This is from “Raising Arizona”, which I would consider another “wall-to-wall quote book.”
Concur.
I see your “You can’t sell horse tranquilizers to a midget” and raise you one, “You’re an inanimate fucking object!”
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.
“Let’s get one thing straight. I don’t work on January 8…
…'Cause that’s Elvis’s birthday.”
Great for job interviews.
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
Can we just take The Big Lebowski as read?
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.
I’ll see that and raise you:
Ray: I don’t hit women. I would never hit a woman, Chloe. I’d hit a woman who was trying to hit me with a bottle. That’s different. That’s self-defense, isn’t it? Or a woman who could do karate. **I would never hit a woman generally, Chloe.
**
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.
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?”
Christopher Walken in The Prophecy:
Gabriel: In heaven, we believe in love.
Catherine: What do you love, Gabriel?
Gabriel: Cracking your skull.
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?”
My favorite Blade Runner quote:
"Is this testing whether I’m a replicant or a lesbian, Mr. Deckard? "
There are a bunch of short lines from Unforgiven that I love.
Little Bill: I don’t deserve this.
Will Munny: Deserve’s got nothing to do with it.
Scofield Kid: I guess he had it coming, huh.
Will Munny: We all have it coming, kid.
From Grosse Pointe Blank:
“It’s not me.”
“You’re a handsome devil. What’s your name?”
You are not alone. I often threaten to get this quote printed on a t-shirt to wear to debate tournaments.
