Every word Shelley Winters spoke in “The Poseiden Adventure.” But if I have to pick a sentence: “Now there’s a chance for me to do something I know how to do!”

Don’t get me wrong, she did an amazing job. But what an obnoxious character!

Bwhaaaaaa? Sweet old Belle? That woman was like a bubbe to me!😛  
She’s definitely a stereotypical Jewish grandmother type and if that particular characterization gets on your nerves, she’s a real doozy of an example. Did she deliver that, or any line particularly loudly though?

“Because she’s got a… [GREAT ASS!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gI4J4z9jJy8)”

Uh, Mr. Pacino, can you stop yelling random lines in the script? You’re scaring the sound guy.

John Carpenter’s **The Thing** (1982). Script by Bill Lancaster. Too-loud reading by Donald Moffat.

But, to be fair, his character had been through a lot just before that, including being tied to a fucking couch next to an alien Thing.

“Assholes and elbows!”

How is one supposed to respond to non-sequitor commands?

I vote for Goblet of Fire because it specifically says in the book, that Dumbledore asked _calmly._

The phrase may be unfamiliar to most (it was to me), but it’s a long-established idiom that means “get your head down and your arms working, so all I can see when I look at this group are assholes and elbows, i.e. your butts in the air, noses to the task, arms flailing away…”  
And if you don’t like it, you can ask for a transfer out of this chickenshit outfit.

To get the full effect of the Iron Man line, you have to add

“…RALPHIE!” in your best Melinda Dillon screech.

Any line delivered in that strange, chesty, grating growl by Harrison Ford. At least one per film.
