Two from Rob Reiner movies:
When Harry Met Sally
“I’ll have what she’s having”
This is Spinal Tap
“We’d love to stay and chat, but we have to go sit in the lobby and wait for the limo”
Donny, run and tell Miss Summers that, uh, Mister Achmed Foley is here to see her…
Axel Foley: No, Axel Foley. Axel.
Serge: Achnell…? Achwell…
Axel Foley: Axel.
Serge …Foley is here to see her, he’s an old acquaintance.
“Acting is acting like you’re not acting.”
From THE ROCKETEER. No, it’s not said by said Rocketeer, or by our hero’s voice-of-wisdom pal; or by the villain, or by the villain’s memorable henchman; or by the love interest, or, for that matter, to the love interest. But it’s still right on the money.
Same bit from Top Gun: Maverick -
[after crashing the Darkstar, Maverick walks into a small town diner and is given a glass of water]
Maverick: Thank you. Where am I?
Kid in Truck Stop: [staring at Maverick] Earth?
Aliens:
“Maybe you haven’t been keeping up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked!”
Not just any worker, but the great Harry Dean Stanton popping up in that bit part.
Another one from Aliens
Male soldier: Have you ever been mistaken for a man?
Female soldier: No. Have you?
“Funny. That plane’s dustin’ crops where there ain’t no crops.”
George Caldwell: I’ve never milked a cow before.
Rita: Cut the gas, Steve, you’re a grown man. I’m sure you’ve had some similar experience.
“A naked American man stole my balloons.”
“Are you implying my apples aren’t what they ought to be?”
(I bet you can even hear the voice.)
In Seinfeld:
Crazy Joe Divola: “I like to encourage intruders.”
Well, which is it, young feller? You want I should freeze, or get down on the ground?
Followed by:
SHIT! Where did all the tellers go?
From My Favorite Year:
Alan Swann (Peter O’Toole, basically channeling Erroll Flynn) accidentally walks into the ladies’ room instead of the men’s room.
Lil (played by Selma Diamond) “This is for ladies only!”
Swann, as he unzips his fly: “So is this, ma’am, but every now and then I have to run a little water through it.”
From King Ralph.
A group of punks are watching the TV news about King Ralph through the window of an appliance store.
Dysentery: Since when do we give a toss about this kind of bullshit?
Punk Girl: Shut up, Dysentery! Where’s your sense of national flipping pride?
From Apocalypse Now
WILLARD: “Who’s the commanding officer here, soldier?”
G.I.: “Ain’t you?”
Sorry to nitpick:
“One night, while drunk, he [John Barrymore] accidentally went into a women’s restroom, instead of a men’s room, and proceeded to relieve his bladder in a potted plant. A woman standing nearby reminded him that the room was “for ladies exclusively”. Turning around, his penis still exposed, Barrymore responded, “So, madam, is this. But every now and again, I’m compelled to run a little water through it.” This incident later made its way, verbatim, into My Favorite Year (1982), where the Barrymore-inspired character Alan Swann, played by Peter O’Toole, is involved in a similar situation.” - John Barrymore - Biography - IMDb
Pulp Fiction - After Uma Thurman survives an overdose thanks to a scary adrenaline injection to the heart, Rosanna Arquette quips: “That was pretty fucking trippy…”
From Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
Joyce: “Look what I found. It’s my yearbook from junior year. [finds her picture] Oh, look! There I am.”
Buffy: “Mom, I’ve accepted that you’ve had sex. I am not ready to know that you had Farrah hair.”
Joyce: “This is Gidget hair. Don’t they teach you anything in history?”
No worries, and I had no idea that the line came from a real incident. I was referring to the fact that the Swann character, overall, was based on Erroll Flynn.
From Jaws
Hooper (standing on jetty): Gentlemen, gentlemen?! The officer asked me to tell you that you’re overloading that boat.
Fishermen: Ah, get outta here! You ain’t going there, what do you care? Hold on there.
Hooper: Well then, can you tell me if there’s a good restaurant or hotel on the island?
Fisherman: Yeah ya walk straight ahead! Ha ha!
Hooper: Ha ha they’re all gonna die.
