_Dumb and Dumber_: Lloyd: What the hell are we doing here, Harry? We gotta get out of this town! Harry: Oh yeah, and go where? Where are we gonna go? Lloyd: I’ll tell you where. Someplace warm. A place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I’m talking about a little place called Aspen. Harry: Oh, I don’t know, Lloyd. The French are assholes. Lloyd: Excuse me, little old lady. Do you have change for a dollar? Elderly woman: Change? No I’m sorry, I don’t. Lloyd: Well, can you do me a favor and watch my stuff here while I go break a dollar? Elderly woman: Of course. Lloyd: Thanks. Hey, I guess they’re right. Senior citizens, although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, can still serve a purpose. I’ll be right back. Don’t you go dying on me! Lloyd: The first time I set eyes on Mary Swanson, I just got that old fashioned romantic feeling where I’d do anything to bone her. Harry: That’s a special feeling, Lloyd. _History Of The World Part I_: Jacques: Don’t cry, my dear. I may not have been born a king, or lived like a king. But at least I can die like a king!

Jacques: I’ll wait! _Blazing Saddles_: [Bart, disguised as a Klansman, describes his qualifications as a villain] Bart: Stampeding cattle. Hedley Lamarr: That’s not much of a crime. Bart: Through the Vatican? Hedley Lamarr: [smiling] Kinkyyyy. Sign here. Taggart: I got it! I got it! Hedley Lamarr: You do? Taggart: We’ll work up a Number 6 on ‘em. Hedley Lamarr: [frowns] “Number 6”? I’m afraid I’m not familiar with that one. Taggart: Well, that’s where we go a-ridin’ into town, a-whompin’ and a-whumpin’ every livin’ thing that moves within an inch of its life. Except the women folks, of course.

_**[Gilda](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038559/quotes)**_, 1946\*\*Johnny Farrell: \*\*Pardon me, but your husband is showing. **Johnny Farrell:** Statistics show that there are more women in the world than anything else. Except insects. **Gilda:** If I’d been a ranch, they would’ve named me “The Bar None.” _**[Real Life](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079781/quotes)**_, 1979 **Albert Brooks:** Our research was so thorough the computers actually coughed up two perfect families. If I were a liar, I could tell you that we chose one over the other for complicated psychological reasons. But I’m a comedian, not a liar. I can afford the luxury of honesty. The Feltons lived in Wisconsin; the Yeagers lived in Arizona. YOU spend the winter in Wisconsin. _**[All About Eve](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042192/quotes)**_, 1950 **Margo Channing:** Bill’s thirty-two. He looks thirty-two. He looked it five years ago, he’ll look it twenty years from now.

From one of the Austin Powers movies: Austin is sitting in a hot tub with a beautiful woman when he let’s out a little fart: Woman: How dare you fart before me! Austin: Sorry, darling, I didn’t realize it was your turn. Austin approaches smokin’ hot Heather Graham in a night club: Austin: Those pants are skin tight! How do you get into those pants? Heather: You can start by buying me a drink… And this classic from Dr. Evil: “The details of my life are quite inconsequential… very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we’d make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum… it’s breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.” ---
