Not a movie, but Barney Gumble says this in the _Simpsons_ episode where Moe is starting a family restaurant and they’re trying to come up with a name.

Moe: “I want something sounding down-to-Earth, all-American.”  
Homer: “How about ‘Chairman Moe’s Magic Wok’?”  
Barney: “I LIKE it!”

Almost forgot my quote:

“Your best?! Loosers always whine about doing their best! Winners go home and fuck the prom queen”

Sean Connery, _The Rock_.

That’s four answers from me and not a single quote. Let’s see…

“Soldiers! Don’t give yourselves to these brutes who despise you, enslave you; who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel! Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle and use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men—machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are men! With the love of humanity in your hearts! Don’t hate! Only the unloved hate; the unloved and the unnatural. Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!”

A bit long, perhaps.

Humphey Bogart, _The African Queen_, though I think the line might be “We don’t wanna go bumping into no hippo.” I’d have to check.  
Try:

“How do you shoot the devil in the back? What if you miss?”

Wow, two minutes. I guess I’ll have to come up with something harder.  
Try: “You and your idiot attempt to buy it!”

If the answer is Harvey Keitel in _Pulp Fiction_ I believe the verbatim quote is closer to “I’m going to drive real fucking fast so keep up”. If it’s not, kindly ignore me.

Joel Cairo (Peter Lorre) to Kasper Gutman (Sidney Greenstreet) in _The Maltese Falcon_?

If correct, here’s mine: “I haven’t got a sensible name.”

Wasn’t that Mel Gibson in the first _Lethal Weapon_ movie?

If so, here’s mine:

“The guy in the hat killed the other guy in the hat.”
