Like most, I have far too many to list or even choose a top-ten list from, but - “Well? We’re WAITING!” - Caddyshack “Now, where was I?” - Memento “Open the pod bay door, HAL.” - Star Wars, I think. And, of course, almost every line from A Christmas Story, but… “NODDAFINGAH!” ---

“My health, I came for the waters” “What waters, we’re in the middle of the desert!” “I was misinformed” “Look Rick, if you don’t feel like talking to me, you can just tell me to shut up, you don’t have to be a dick about it” … is what Claude Rains should say to Humphrey Bogart next. ---

“Mommy won’t let _you_ go to the bar neither?” That is my favorite today. Yesterday it was “It’s a fool who looks for answers in the chambers of the human heart.” Tomorrow it might be “We are the music makers. And we are the dreamers of dreams.” or it might be “Toe pick!” I am amazed people who can have A singular favorite anything. I cannot. I couldn’t even narrow it down to ONE favorite quote if you were asking about one specific movie. Whether this is a character flaw or isn’t I can’t say. ---

From _The Lion in Winter_: Prince John (as Prince Richard pulls out a dagger): “Mother! He’s got a knife!” Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine: “Of course he has a knife! Richard always has a knife! We all have knives! It’s 1183, and we’re barbarians!!” From _Star Wars_: Han Solo: “Kid, I’ve flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. Seen a lotta strange stuff. But I’ve never seen anything to make me believe there’s some all-powerful Force controls everything. No mystical energy field controls **my** destiny.” ---

Many of mine have already been mentioned, but here’s another: "The way your dad looked at it, this watch was your birthright. He’d be damned if any slopes gonna put their greasy yellow hands on his boy’s birthright, so he hid it, in the one place he knew he could hide something: his ass. Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass. Then when he died of dysentery, he gave me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable piece of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you. " ---

You see, according to Cocteau’s plan, I’m the enemy, 'cause I like to think; I like to read. I’m into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I’m the kind of guy who likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, “Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?” I WANT high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-o all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I’ve SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It’s a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing “I’m an Oscar Meyer Wiener”. One of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite movies.
