Variations on this line have been around for a long time. In The Terminator, Reese explains to Sarah that you can make plasic explosives by mixing “A few household chemicals in the right ratio” (this is from memory so it may be a little off). A variation was used a few times on the TV show MacGyver.
I believe it was Ocean Parkway. In any event, it was on Long Island/Fire Island, not in New Jersey.
Of course, having put in my probably totally wrong $0.02 in on the above, I will now proceed to mangle lines from the greatest movie ever made. This is particularly inexcusable when you consider that I have watched The Godfather I and II at least 30 times on videocassette:
Jack Woltz: “You tell your friend Johnny Fontaine never gets that picture. I don’t care how many guinea greaseball goombas come out of the woodwork.”
Tom Hagen: “I’m German-Irish.”
Jack Woltz: “Well let me tell you this, my kraut-mick friend…”
also
Jack Woltz: “And just so you know I’m not a hard hearted man, that it isn’t all dollars and cents. She was young! She was innocent! She was the greatest piece of ass I’ve ever had, and I’ve had them all over the world!”
also
Luca Brasi: “Thank you for inviting me to your daughter’s wedding. On the day of your daughter’s wedding. And may their first child be a masculinechild. I pledge my ever ending loyalty.” For the bridal purse." (Hands over envelope)
Vito Corleone: “Thank you Luca, my most valued friend.”
also
Sonny: “I don’t want my brother coming out of that bathroom with just his dick in his hand.”
also
Appollonia: “Andiamo! Andiamo!”
Car Horn: Beep Beep!
Michael: “Appollonia! No!”
Car Bomb: Boom!!
also
Kay: (nods towards a bombed out car) “What happened?”
Tom Hagen: There was an accident, but nobody was hurt."
also
Moe Green: (referring to Fredo) “He was banging cocktail waitresses two at a time! The players couldn’t get a drink at the tables!”
(This may have been “He was screwing cocktail waitresses two at a time.” I’m not sure.)
There are just too many great lines in that movie/those movies. More to follow later when I am not in the process of falling asleep sitting up.
Or,
"He ain’t a hard man to track. Leaves dead men wherever he goes.
Reservoir Dogs - “We’ve got places all over the place.”
No idea but I think Gary Busey (sp?) said the line - “your worst nightmare…butthorn!” (it was so cHeEzY I rolled, though I didn’t watch the entire movie)
Cyrano de Bergerac - “No, I thank you, and again I thank
you.”
Princess Bride - “No more rhymes now, I mean it.”
“Anybody want a peanut?”
Airplane - “We have to get this man to a hospital.”
“A hospital, what is it?”
“It’s a big building with patients, but
that’s not important right now.”

- Yellowbeard: “If you don’ tell me where eet ees, I’w nail your teets to the tabow.” - MC

A truly great movie for quotes:
Gee, I’m sorry your mom blew up, Ricky.
So tell me, which is worse – not speaking English, or speaking English like Howard Cosell?
How are we going to get real drugs in this town? We can’t even get cable!
Now that’s a real shame when folks be throwin’ away a perfectly good white boy like that.
My mom’s not home. She had to take my brother to the hospital. My grandma dropped acid this morning, and she was really stressed out. She hijacked a busload full of… penguins. It’s sort of a family crisis. Bye!
This is pure snow! Do you have any idea what the street value of this mountain is?
Go zat way, really fast. If zomething gets in your way, turn!

Three of my favorites that I haven’t seen mentioned yet are
“All your good for is fucking my mother and eating our food. Motherfucker… foodeater.”

“Hello Cleveland” One of the guys in Spinal Tap, I can’t remember which one right now.

-Brianjedi
There are plenty that stick with me b/c they are so funny/otherwise memorable, but some stay with me for no reason whatsoever (the subject of the OP, right?)
No. 1 - from Iron Eagle - “Time to die, Iron Eagle!”
(by the way, my great “talent” in life is that I know every line of that movie. SAD SAD SAD).
No. 2 - from Unforgiven -
Gene Hackman - “You just shot an unarmed man!”
Clint Eastwood - “Well, he should’ve armed himself, before decorating his saloon with my friend.”
Tons others come to mind, but its because they’re funny.
Major League has a bunch, always apropos:
“Juuuust a bit outside. Tried to corner and missed.”
“You may run like Hayes, but you hit like shit.”
“It’s too high.”
“Want me to… drag him outside… kick the shit out of him?”
“Christ I can’t find it. To hell with it.”

“My boy’s wicked smart.”

From TRUE ROMANCE:
Gary Oldman’s character: “Yeah, I’m pretty. But I ain’t as pretty as a coupl’a titties.”

“Do these balloons blow up into all kinds of funny shapes?”
“Not unless round is funny.”
“Who wears the pants in this house Hi?”
“I found myself driving by convcenience stores…that weren’t on the way home.”
“When there was no meat, we ate fowl. when there was no fowl, we ate crawdad. When there was no crawdad, we ate sand.”
“You ate sand?”
“We ate sand.”
Time Bandits
“So this is what the invisible barrier looks like!”
“Is that really neccessary.?”
“argsfkg warught”
“He says ‘Yes it is’”
“Oh right, carry on then.”

- Slight Hijack: at the time the movie “Say Anything” came out, I worked in a convenience store that rented videos. We got the movie in when it went to (first-release) video (-that is, when video stores got copies to rent out). The way this store was supplied with movies, we got copies at the first release and then couldn’t order replacements, so we couldn’t ever get replacements for damaged or stolen tapes.
-
- Somebody brought back the only copy the store had ever had one day, and said that the tape had broke. The manager waived the usual charge, because he knew that the tape had been there a long time and rented out a lot. We got to talking about it, and decided to look up the rental record on it. The rental record showed that the movie “Say Anything” stayed on the rack (in rental) longer than any other movie we had, over a year and a half (by comparison, most tapes get stolen or broken within 3 months). It had usually rented two or three times a week during that entire period, for a total of more than four times the rentals any other tape had done. It was rented by a wide variety of people (not just one or two fanatics) but as we remembered, mostly by teenage white girls. - MC

Oh, you can’t go back; you have to go forward in order to go back.

From The Right Stuff:
Sometimes you get a pooch that can’t be screwed.

From Mallrats:

We’re going to bust on them X-Men style.
Bob Schroek, that movie has the best lines! Don’t forget:
“Yahhhh…I skate, you skate…We skate…Maybe we could get together and”
“You’re a jerk”
“be a skating team.”
And
“Your book on how to pick up trashy women just arrived.”
Mr. Miskatonic, allow me to nitpick.
“When there was no crawdaddy to be had we ate sand.”
“You ate what?”
“We ate sand.”
“Y’ate sand?”
“Thas’ right.”
