“We don’t have a choice!”
In Prison Break, I believe Michael Scofield says this about every other episode.
The hero has the bad guy at gunpoint, but pauses. Bad guy: “DO IT!”
I’ve got a bad feeling about this.
Shields up!
I’ll be right back.
“Do you trust me?”
(Spoken just before pulling someone into an absurd and/or dangerous situation.)
“Follow that car!”
To someone who’s pointing a gun at you: “You’re not gonna shoot me.”
“She’s gonna blow!”
(Maybe I’m just not traveling in the right social circles.)
Too late to edit: an “it’s gonna blow” montage.
“And that person (who I’ve just told this sad/maudlin/shocking story about)… was me.”
Not a word or phrase but just a scene: talking to the gravestone as if it were a person buried there, often to apologize or ask a first spouse’s permission to move on. These people have an absolutely terrifying belief about the afterlife- that when you’re dead you’re connected indefinitely to your rotting corpse. All in all I’d prefer just standing around the rivers of Hades.
Used to look a lot worse when I was a kid.
“Ia! Ia! Cthulhu ftaghn!” Though I expect that’ll change dramatically this Saturday night.
whatever you do, don’t cut the blue wire
“Look.”
This is used in movies but I would say it’s used more in sitcoms to nudge the plot back on track after a joke some wacky hijinks. I totally notice it whenever its used as well. For instance:
Stephanie: Any luck yet?
DJ: No, no one’s asked.
Uncle Joey: Garsh, what are you going to do, duh huh?
[canned laughter]
DJ: Look, if none of the boys asks me to the dance, I’m going to be the laughing stock of the 8th grade.
“My… God…”
Going up to a stranger and asking for the date and then the year is on my bucket list.
Also I want someone to be chasing me, I run across the steet and then a bus goes by without stopping and I’m gone.
Alabama actually has the Styx River Baptist Church. I giggle every time I drive by it.
I’m pretty sure my law school professors all used that one on me.
Well, I don’t say that specific line, usually because I’m instead laughing maniacally at said brilliant idea.
You don’t have the guts.
I think “You just don’t get it, do you?” has a movie montage on You Tube. And also, “You look like shit.”
I can’t link to the montages from work, tho’.
“Warp Core Breach”
Thank gawd because I know enough physics I’d fucking die of fright right then and there the first time I heard it used seriously in real life. (Working in Area 51 isn’t all fun and games BTW).
