Does anyone else do this? I’m not talking about once in a while but a certain line takes on a meaning to you and your friends.
Example
for years I have been using this line form platoon “No Sal, this is important, this is important” from the scene in the VC camp where, I think Johnny Depp gets his arms blown off, every time my friends are doing something that may end up backfiring but seems important at the time. We have been using it for so long it doesnt even register as a movie line anymore.
Another one is the “as your attorney, I advise you to…” from Fear and Loathing, as an offer of some sort of advise. Once again it has become second hand.
So has anyone else picked up lines like this? or are we just the biggest dorks to come down the pike in recent years?
I use “Next stop, rocket science” pretty frequently when I’m confronted with someone (who should know better) stating the obvious. It’s from the TV show Twin Peaks.
Mr. S and I do this on a ridiculously regular basis. We are movie/tv/music trivia nuts and are constantly challenging each other to recognize/name actors, identify who said what line (and get it right, verbatim) in what movie, and so on. It’s so bad that sometimes he’ll ask me, “I give up, who said that?” and I have to say “Me.” Yes, dear, I do occasionally say something original.
Yes my group of friends and I do nothing but quote movies when we are together. It drives or SO’s up the wall!

Monty Python and the Holy Grail is pretty much the script for my life. Some samples:
“'Tis but a scratch” when you get hurt pretty badly but don’t want to admit it.
and
“Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.” when you have finished your point during a discussion.

While touring the Van Gough exhibit in a museum:
“…as you can see, his later work becomes more abstract…in the end, all he painted were angry scribblings to the editor. They call that his angry jerk period.” - The Simpsons
When someone says something stupid:
“You keep using that word…I do not think it means what you think it means.” - The Princess Bride

“Riiiiight…I going to have to go ahead and ask you to…” - Office Space
Whenever I hear someone mention gold bullion:

Morons. I’ve got morons on my team. No one is going to rob us going down the mountain. We have no money, going down the mountain.
