Great quote. Laughed my ass off when he said it. Classic Elmore Leonard.
High Plains Drifter: “I’m the sheriff, AND the mayor!” Cracks me up every time I watch it.
“I have two guns… one for each of you.”
I have a hard time plucking quotes at random from my brain; they tend to be triggered by appropriate situations. Or looking at this thread. What I was going to post before looking reminded me of that one was…
“Yeah… and maybe I’m a Chinese jet pilot.”
or maybe…
“Baby, you got REAL ugly.”
Sunset Boulevard reminds me of my favorite from that particular film: “I am big. It’s the pictures that got small.”
“Quick, let’s get out of here before one of those things kills Guy!”
“Can you fashion a rudimentary lathe?”
We deal in lead, friend. - The Magnificent Seven
I like the O’Reilly quote earlier about fatherhood, too.
Another from The Magnificent Seven.
Chico: They’re afraid. She’s afraid of me, you, him. All of us. Farmers! Their families told them we would rape them.
Chris: Well we might. But in my opinion you might have given us the benefit of the doubt. But just as you please…
I hope a cannon ball lands slap on you and blows you into a million pieces.
Gone With The Wind
“All we’ve got in the South is cotton, and slaves, and arrogance.”
Sergeant: There’s another girl to see Captain Butler. Says she’s his sister. This one’s got her Mammy with her!
Rhett: I’d really like to see this one, Captain. Let’s see, my (poker) losses come to how much?
If God wanted you on my obstacle, he’dve miracelled your ass up here.
From The Last Starfighter
Jane Rogan: [gesturing to Alex’s ship, shocked] Alex, what is all this?
Alex Rogan: I, uh, I’ve been to another planet, Ma.
The Day the Earth Stood Still:
“Klaatu … barrada … nikto!”
Old favourite; There’s a line men like us have to cross
New favourite; some men are coming to kill us…we’re going to kill them first
So many good ones, but to these we must add:
‘I can’t believe I gave my panties to a geek’ - 16 Candles
'Ordinary people. I hate ‘em’ - Repo Man
Der meister ist tot.
Son of a nutcracker!
