Want more? Here it is…
Calling All Movie Buffs was such a success and you made such great contributions that I’ve compiled a list of YOUR favourite film/movie quotes (and included a few more of my own ). So now you have to guess each other’s favourite quotes. I will highlight the ones that have gone as before, to help you spot the ones that are left. Look out for tips, hints and edits in both the post and comments. And if you want to see which bloggers provided which quotes, check out the comments in the original post. I can’t wait to answer some of these quotes…
Go for it – and have fun!
Edit!! October 13th- I’ve added some more of yours to the list! There are now85 and the list is almost full. I will add them to the list – up to 100 as Mosh suggested and highlight them when they’re gone. After that, you’ll need to keep your eyes on your comments to see who’s got what.

{ 57 comments }
And I’ll kick it off:
#1. The title character, Al Pacino, in Scarface.
#2. Jack Black – School of Rock
#15. Who framed Roger Rabbit?
#19. Tim Matheson said this in Animal House
#20. Brad Pitt in Fight Club (the movie everyone took so seriously – and shouldn’t have!)
#21. Gary Cole – Office Space.
#29. John Cleese – Life of Brian
#35 – Samuel L Jackson in Pulp Fiction, Correctamundo?
#41 – Stripes? (Didn’t recall the depression bit though…)
#10 Patten
#6 Eddie Murphy – Trading Places
9. When Harry Met Sally
24. As Good As It Gets.
Thats all i can come up with .
7. Michael Douglas as “The American President”.
A lot of the others are triggering bits, but I can’t tell if I’ve seen it in a movie or in a Simpsons episode.
The “Stripes” is accurate.
In the interest of fairness, I’ll refrain from answering #’s 31-34…for now!
7 – “American President” (Michael Douglas)
9 – “When Harry Met Sally” (Rob Reiner’s Mom)
12 – “Airplane” (Lloyd Bridges)
17 – “Office Space”
14 – “Blazing Saddles” (Alex Karras)
24 – “Pink Panther Strikes Again”
25 – “Sleeper” (Woody Allen)
30 – “Bull Durham” (Kevin Costner)
38 – “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” (Ray Walston)
42 – “Ace Ventura, Pet Detective”
43 – “Cool Hand Luke” (Strother Martin)
44 – “Dr. Strangelove” (one of the Peter Sellers roles)
45 – Network (Peter Finch)
@Wildgrey – #9 is correct.
@Jessica – #7 – yes – and I know what you mean about the Simpsons… I think every one of these movies has been spoofed on the show!
@Mike – great stuff…. and since you contributed 31-34, probably wouldn’t be fair to provide the answers… yet!
I thought of a another classic to add to the list. Now I’ve probably got it complete writtenout wrong but if you know the movie you’ll know how to pronouce it:
“an-al nathrak, urth fas bethud, doch-je-yel d’jen-ve”
(It is an English language film originally.)
11. Terminator… right?
I guess I’m not allowed to guess my ones, lol.
I’ll give you a clue: 3 and 5 are from the same film and the film was made in Germany then released in Britain and the USA with subtitles.
Oh, and could I add a couple more of my favourites:
“O Captain, My Captain”
“Heard about the guy who fell off a skyscraper? On his way down past each floor, he kept saying to reassure himself: So far so good… so far so good… so far so good. How you fall doesn’t matter. It’s how you land!” (Hint: Probably the most famous French film made, quite political too!)
“Just because I like ballet doesn’t mean I’m a poof, you know. ”
“Ya smoke this shit so to escape from reality? Me, I don’t need this shit. I am reality. There’s the way it ought to be, and there’s the way it is. ”
“He’s fat, you’re thin, and you’re both fucking ugly. ”
“Fookin’ hell! ”
“I need a father who’s a role model, not some horny geek-boy who’s gonna spray his shorts whenever I bring a girlfriend home from school. What a lame-o. Someone really should just put him out of his misery. ”
“”My job consists of basically masking my contempt for the assholes in charge, and, at least once a day, retiring to the men’s room so I can jerk off while I fantasize about a life that doesn’t so closely resemble Hell.” Well, you have absolutely no interest in saving yourself.”
“SANDY!” – “Tell me about it Stud”
“Oh, my parole officer wants to give me a drug test and I need your urine… can I score some of your piss?”
“Lance, I want you to stay in your room. ” – “Why?” – “Because you’re an embarrassment.” – “OK!”
37. Superman (1977): dialogue between the Man of Steel and Lois Lane. Ms. Lane has fallen from a tall height, and he caught her.
@Hillari – Yep. Catches the girl in one hand and a helicopter in the other. For its time that was jaw dropping movie magic. I thought the updated equivalent in Superman Returns was technically and visually superior but lacked that “never before seen” impact of the original. Roll on November 28th!
@themiget
3 and (or should I say und) 5 are from “Der Untergang”
OK BG…some new ones for the list:
“Wrong brother, you hateful bitch.”
“You know Burke, I don’t know which species is worse. You don’t see them fucking each other over for a goddamn percentage!”
“Get away from her, you bitch!”
These last 2 are from the same flick.
“Listen to them. Children of the night. What music THEY make.”
“It’s classified. I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you.”
“What kind of mother would I be if I didn’t give my girls tits… tips?”
And on that note…………………..
@Mike I got Aliens, Dracula (FFC’s version) and Sneakers
“You’re one ugly motherfucker”
“Right turn Clyde” (or was it left?)
“You want the truth?! You can’t handle the truth!”
“You’re a dinosuar. A Relic of the cold war.”
“Fear not little one. I am here to protect thee.”
- “There’s somebody here to see you.”
- “What’s he look like?”
- “Serious”
- “The cops are here”
- “How many?”
- “All of them I think”
Shall we make it the 100 favorite movie quotes

#31: When Harry Met Sally
Wow!! this has developed a life of its own
Fantastic!! I think we should call it 100+ movie quotes.
@ themiget – Yes, that is Terminator (Michael
Bain as Kyle Reese)
@ Phoena – welcome. Both correct. I’m marking them off, o.k Mike and HTH?
My guesses:
“O Captain, My Captain” – Robyn Williams in Dead Poets Society.
“Just because I like ballet doesn’t mean I’m a poof, you know. ”
Billy Elliot
“I need a father who’s a role model, not some horny geek-boy who’s gonna spray his shorts whenever I bring a girlfriend home from school. What a lame-o. Someone really should just put him out of his misery. ”
American Beauty..(the daughter said this)
“You’re one ugly motherfucker”
Predator.

Tootsie
I’ll do one from the top list

@Mike
“Wrong brother, you hateful bitch.”
- Kill Bill Pt. 2
“You know Burke, I don’t know which species is worse. You don’t see them fucking each other over for a goddamn percentage!”
- Aliens! (Sigourney to Paul Reiser)
“Get away from her, you bitch!”
- Aliens again? Again?
“What kind of mother would I be if I didn’t give my girls tits… tips?”
- Tootsie (I know Dustin Hoffman says it, I don’t remember to whom …)
HTH
(“Blank Frank, he’s the messenger of your doom and your destruction”)
14 – “Mongo like Bart.”Blazing Saddles (Alex Karras)
“You want the truth?! You can’t handle the truth!” A Few Good Men (Jack Nicholson)
“right Turn Clyde” – Every Which Way But Loose (Clint Eastwood)
“Fear not little one. I am here to protect thee.” The Omen (original – 1976) Billie Whitelaw
“He’s fat, you’re thin, and you’re both fucking ugly. ” – The Full Monty (Tim Wilkinson)
“Ya smoke this shit so to escape from reality? Me, I don’t need this shit. I am reality. There’s the way it ought to be, and there’s the way it is. ” – Platoon (Tom Berenger)
“you’re a sexist, misogynist dinosaur. A relic of the Cold War” Golden Eye (Judi Dench to Pierce Brosnan)
“Lance, I want you to stay in your room. ” – “Why?” – “Because you’re an embarrassment.” – “OK!” – Orange County (Colin Hanks)
“Tell me about it Stud” Grease (the lovely & talented Olivia Newton John)
#16 “I don’t roll on Shabbas! “The Big Lebowski (Walter Sobchak aka John Goodman)
OK…now for some add-on!
“My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.”
“God darnit Mr. Lamarr, you use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar whore.”
“The weed of crime bears bitter fruit.”
You pompous, stuck-up, snot-nosed, English, giant, twerp, scumbag, fuck-face, dickhead, asshole.”
“How very interesting. You’re a true vulgarian, aren’t you?”
“You are the vulgarian, you fuck.”
“The first one won’t kill you; not the second, not even the third… not till you crawl over here and you KISS MY FOOT!”
“If winning overshadows everything, why didn’t you teach one of us to lose?”
Time to get to work!
@Mike – I got the A Fish Called Wanda quote, Kevin Kline and John Cleese. “Don’t call me stupid!”
“God darnit Mr. Lamarr, you use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar whore.”
Blazing Saddles – Andy Devine to Harvey Korman.
18 – “You know what the problem with real life is? No danger music.”
The Cable Guy – that was Jim Carrey to Matthew Broderick. One of the most underarrated Jim Carrey movies. Satire from beginning to end.
Time to do a few more:
#8 “You’re the duke! You’re the duke!” – that’s Escape From New York, Donald Pleasance (as The President) who’s just machine-gunned Isaac Hayes (as The Duke of New York) – uber cool, uber goofy movie, one of my favourites. “The President’s plane went down!” “The president of what?!” – Kurt Russell channelling Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry – oh yeah. (ignore the sequel *shudder*)
13. “In walked the biggest Mexican I ever seen” – I’m not sure that’s exactly right, but that’s from Desperado, Steve Buscemi relating a tall-tale he told Cheech Marin and patrons to Antonio Banderas – the joke is Banderas is … uh, Tom Cruise -sized.
28. # “Mister President, we cannot afford to have a mine-shaft gap!” – Dr. Strangelove (one of the best movies ever made!!!) – George C. Scott as General Ripper, to the President in the War Room after the doomsday weapon has been detonated … trivia – originally Peter Sellers was supposed to play General Ripper too (making 4 roles) but he had injured himself before or early in pre-production and could only manage 3 – thank goodness, Scott is a highlight of the film (“Boy, I sure wish WE had one of those doomsday devices!!”)
33. “I couldn’t eat another bite” – well, I assume that’s Mister Creosote from Monty Python and the Meaning of Life, but I’m not 100% (“it’s waffer thin!”)
#40. “You’re slipping red. I used to be afraid of that look.” – oh, be still my heart, a personal top 5 movie of all time, The Philadelphia Story, Cary Grant (as CK Dexter Haven) to his ex-wife Katharine Hepburn (as Tracy Lord – yes, Tracy Lord, not Lords) – I’ve probably seen it 15 times.
#61. “Oh, my parole officer wants to give me a drug test and I need your urine… can I score some of your piss?” – Orange County, Jack Black to Colin Hanks
#70. My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.” – Blazing Saddles – Harvey Korman as Hedley Lamarr (“HedLey! HedLey!!!!”)
Whoo hoo!! Well done everybody!! and HTH, really good to read the extra information.
And here’s a few more I’ve got…
“Fookin’ hell! ”
The Full Monty.
The cops are here”
- “How many?”
- “All of them I think”
Terminator 2 – John Conner when the four were trapped in Cyberdyne offices trying to get the chip. (This one had been nagging me for days… don’t know how I didn’t get it earlier!)
”My job consists of basically masking my contempt for the assholes in charge, and, at least once a day, retiring to the men’s room so I can jerk off while I fantasize about a life that doesn’t so closely resemble Hell.” Well, you have absolutely no interest in saving yourself.”
This is Kevin Spacey in American Beauty. This took me a while, but at last! I knew that I knew it!!)
@Mike
“The weed of crime bears bitter fruit.”
- Exxxxxxcellent! The Shadow – Alec Baldwin as the title character – Lamont Cranston is his alter ego – this is a fun little romp, way better than it got credit for, people these days don’t revere or understand loving send-ups any more – how can you not love:
- Jonathan Winters as his father?
- Peter Boyle as his cab driver side-kick?
- Ian freakin’ McKellen as the love interest’s befuddled father!?
- the guy who played Neelix in Star Trek Voyager as a doomed security guard?
- Tim Curry gleefully overacting as the venal second banana villain?
- the urbane Ghengis Khan wannabe?
- a berylium sphere in a giant spherical water chamber that you just KNOW someone’s gonna get trapped in the second you see it?
- a luscious Penelope Ann Miller in a slinky green silk dress ….
- a disappearing/reappearing art deco hotel?
“Who knows what fear lurks in the hearts of men … The SHADOW knows!”
further re. the Shadow – WHY is this still only available (in Region 1) as a fullscreen DVD?!!!! I have it on laserdisc and THAT’s widescreen …
@Harry – Gotta love the Shadow. Jonathan Winters played Cranston’s Uncle Wainwright.
(PS: my DVD is widescreen, so it’s out there)
Peter Boyle (the cabbie) was Schrebnitz AND of course…the monster in Young Frankenstein (‘uttin on the ITZZZZZ)
@Mosh – There’s another Fish Called Wanda up there.
@BG…from way back on the original list #53 is from “La Haine” (That’s really obscure! LOL)
Shall we give them till tomorrow evening on my submits? Your blog, your call!
I want to say thanks; I’m sure, on behalf of everybody. This is a terrific post.
Wasn’t it Robert Carlisle that said “Fookin’ hell! ” in the Big Monty?
OK…a couple more…
“The only thing we don’t have a god for is premature ejaculation – but I hear that that’s coming quickly.”
“Hey Josephus!” “Hey, motherfucker!”
“Oh, no! You see, I’m watching the new “Jeopardy!” and a man just lost a Bible question because he did not know what Deuteronomy wa-as”
OK..easy classic line here:
“A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.”
(Anyone get this yet?)
“Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!”
Outta here!
@Mike
“Oh, no! You see, I’m watching the new “Jeopardy!” and a man just lost a Bible question because he did not know what Deuteronomy wa-as”
- you and I think alike, Mike – Billy Crystal in Running Scared (the one from late 80s/early 90s, not the recent film of the same name) – a buddy cop flick with BC and Gregory Hines (and Jimmy Smits for the lay-dees) – much better than people seem to remember it – great car chase on the El tracks! – and good chemistry between the leads. They took a few stabs at a sequel, but it never got off the ground.
“Hey Josephus” “Hey motherfucker”
- I don’t remember which character exactly, but it was the Roman sequence of History of the World Pt. 1 – Mel Brooks, Dom Deluise and Ron whatshisname, the short guy who played Levitt on Barney Miller … some funny stuff in the movie, but Mel was pretty much past his best at that point. Highlights for me
- the Ethel Merman musical spoof/homage during the Torquemada Spanish Inquisition sequence;
- Mel Brooks all-time classic repeated line in the French Sun King sequence (“It’s good to be da king!”)
- ending it with that incredibly silly Jews In Space thing ….
“A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.”
- unless this is a trick – and I’m not a fan of horror movies – that’s Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) in Silence of the Lambs
Okay – here’s a toughie for you:
[public address announcement clearly heard in the background during a non-dialogue tracking scene in a busy hospital corridor] “Paging Doctor Howard! Paging Doctor Fine! Paging Doctor Howard!”
- Harry
(Peace an’ Love!)
I’ll answer a few more of the leftovers on this thread … I was driven mad by #4 (“You know, for kids”) and I had to actually look it up (which is really irritating) so I know the answer now, but since I looked it up I can’t actually ANSWER it – but it’s a movie I’ve never seen, so I don’t feel so bad.
#26 “Wheat. Great. I’m dead and all she can talk about is grain.”
- Woody Allen at the end of Love And Death – he’s talking to Death about Diane Keaton’s really pompous stilted Ibsen/Checkov -esque speech with her BFF “Wheat. All about is wheat. Soon it will be” – really, really funny movie, one of Woody’s best IMO.
#27 [blind character with cockney accent:] “You don’t ‘ave to shout, I have acute ‘earing.” “I’m not interested in your jewelry, cloth-eyes!
- Not surprised nobody got this – am I one of the only people who went to see Yellowbeard the day it came out? Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Peter Boyle, Marty Feldman, Cheech&Chong, Peter Cook, Madeline Kahn, James Mason and a cameo by David Bowie? So what if it was unbelievably stupid – I bought it on DVD the day it came out! “Us Yellowbeards are never so dangerous as when we’re dead!” “It wouldn’t be the first head I’ve eaten!” “Fruit of my loins! I haven’t got fruit in me loins, woman!”
#36 “Okay. So, she’s a dog.”
- Really? Nobody got this? Near the end of Ghostbusters, when the 4 guys are confronting Gozer the Gozerian atop the Central Park West building, Rick Moranis’ and Sigourney Weaver’s characters have just been transformed into huge demon-dogs – Billy Murray (as Peter Venckman) says it to either Egon or Dan Ackroyd’s character.
#68 “There’s somebody here to see you.”
“What’s he look like?” -“Serious”
- this reminds me of a line from Leon (aka The Professional) – Natalie Portman, Jean Reno and Gary Oldman … but I’m not really sure.
#76 “Don’t Call Me Stupid”
- we answered that one, right? Kevin Kline (as Otto) to John Cleese (as Archie Leach – which is OF COURSE Cary Grant’s real name nudge nudge) and Jamie Lee Curtis (as Wanda)
(#75 stumped me – I searched and found it – never seen that movie either)
@Harry –
“Paging Doctor Howard! Paging Doctor Fine! Paging Doctor Howard!” – Men in Black (circa mid 30′s)
re:”Hey Josephus” “Hey motherfucker”
Ron Carey & Gregory Hines
BG…we should apologize for monopolizing this post!
@Mike
re. “Paging Doctor Howard! Paging Doctor Fine! Paging Doctor Howard!”
Really? In MIB? Well if so, they lifted it from an earlier film (1982) … hint: a scene from the same movie always cracks me up:
A fleeing man is arrested on a street when an obviously blind man (can, cup and sunglasses) suddenly pulls out a gun and yells “Freeze” – then asks the perp “Am I pointing this at you?”
Care to try again? (I actually own this movie on DVD)
@HTH – yep #68 is Leon (aka The Professional), btw anyone seen the longer French version? So much better thatn the theatrical cut. #4 is a wondeful 1940s type movie.
- “Dude! What does mine say?”
- “Sweeet! What’s mine say?”
- “DUDE! What does mine say?!”
- “SWEET! What does mine say!!?”
@Mosh
“Dude, Where’s My Car?”
Stifler to Demi’s toyboy.
I’ve the special release DVD of Léon – the longer (and funnier / more tender) cut.
@Harry
That MIB that I referred to above is a Three Stooges short from 1934
If I may add one more, another 80s classic:
“I know you gentlemen have been through a lot. But when you find the time… I’d rather not spend the rest of the winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH!”
I’m going to sit back and read all these great reponses.. hehe. Wow! People have been busy
@Mike – yes, we will give until tomorrow evening for people to guess yours and then they are all yours… so to speak. Thanks to EVERYONE for for making this such a fun post to do! I have learnt so much stuff! This has been a blast! Great stuff, all!!
@Mike
- okay, the movie I’m referring to is making a 3S reference – Young Doctors In Love – Michael McKeon, Sean Young, Harry Dean Stanton – sort of like Airplane in a hospital.
And #77 “I know you gentlemen have been through a lot. But when you find the time… I’d rather not spend the rest of the winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH!”
- John Carpenter’s The Thing (the remake starring Snake Pliskin – I mean Kurt Russell) – the line is delivered by the Antarctic base commander. The movie’s based on a novella by John W. Campbell from the 30s entitled “Who Goes There?” written under the pseudonym Don A. Stuart – the first “The Thing” is memorable because James Arness played The Thing (basically a big mobile rubber carrot that killed everyone)
#75 ““If winning overshadows everything, why didn’t you teach one of us to lose?””
That’s from The Octagon Chuck Norris martial arts thingy.
Another to add:
“Like I told my last wife, I said, “Honey, I never drive faster than I can see, and besides… it’s all in the reflexes.”
I’m sure Mike and HTH will have no problems with these
“Oh well. Who wants to live forever?”
“Faster. Must go faster.”
(Same actor, two different movies.)
- “These people are trying to kill us.”
- “I know dad!”
- “This is a new experience for me.”
- “Happens to me all the time.”
@Mosh
RE: “Oh well. Who wants to live forever?” Brian Blessed (Prince Vultan) in Flash Gordon (1980) also…
…variation – “Do you want to live forever?” from Conan the Barbarian _ Valeria (Sandahl Bergman)
RE: “Faster. Must go faster.” Jeff Goldblum in both Independence Day (bad movie) and Jurassic Park (nice try
)
RE: “These people are trying to kill us.”
- “I know dad!”
- “This is a new experience for me.”
- “Happens to me all the time.”
Harrison Ford and Sean Connery in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
@Mike, aw come on, it wasn’t bad for a B movie! And who wouldn’t pay to see the White House get blown up?
Adding to the list:
“Yes, but my martini is still dry. My name is James.”
“What are you? Some kinda doomsday machine boy? Well WE got a cage strong enough to hold an animal like you here!”
“There’s no point living, if you can’t feel alive.”
“I put a black widow spider underneath his mosquito net… a female, they’re the worst. It took him a whole week to die.”
“When I was sixteen, I went to work for a newspaper in Hong Kong. It was a rag, but the editor taught me one important lesson. The key to a great story is not who, or what, or when, but why.”
Have fun!
39 – Is that Pulp Fiction again? Vincent talking to Jules about taking out Mia Wallace?
Okay, how about “))(( forever” for a movie quote?
Oopsy, the pointy brackets didn’t appear. Let’s try “))<>(( forever”.
OK…from earlier posts:
“Clint Eastwood… I fucked ‘im.” The Adventures of Ford Fairlane (Andrew Dice Clay)
“Wake up! Time to die!” Blade Runner The character was named “Leon”
“It’s classified. I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you.” Top Gun
A few more:
“Is it a water heater?”
“What? That plane? That’s a commercial airliner. It’s five miles high. They wouldn’t see nuc’ilar explosion if they were looking for one!”
“Well, we’re safe for now, thank goodness we’re in a bowling alley…That is real rain out there.”
#79 Was Sheriff J.W. Pepper (the red-neck) to 007 in Live and Let Die.
#39 – Shuffling – I think this is Pulp Fiction and yes, Vincent talking to Jules.
I see there are still a few left … well I don’t mind picking up the crumbs …
#37 “You’ve got me! Who’s got you?!”
- From Superman: The Movie (the first one, way, way back when)
#78 “Yes, but my martini is still dry. My name is James.”
- well OBVIOUSLY this is a Bond line … sad, but I happen to know that’s from the non-Broccoli flick Never Say Never Again – Sean was looking a little like a stuffed sausage with a bad toop; but he’s still the best ever Bond.
#79 “There’s no point living, if you can’t feel alive.”
- Okay, I knew this was a BondGirl in a BrosnanBond, but I confess I had to look up which one – it’s The World Is Not Enough.
#80 “I put a black widow spider underneath his mosquito net… a female, they’re the worst. It took him a whole week to die.”
- sensing a theme here? The first ConneryBond, Dr. No – I can’t remember who said it and I ain’t lookin’ it up.
#81 “When I was sixteen, I went to work for a newspaper in Hong Kong. It was a rag, but the editor taught me one important lesson. The key to a great story is not who, or what, or when, but why.”
- I only got this one because of the trend – Jonathan Pryce in Tomorrow Never Dies; such memorable Bond dialogue, what a legacy
#82 “Is it a water heater?”
- Arnie in True Lies.
That’s all I’m doing – got to come up with some new ones.
@Harry – Well, I should hang my head… I knew they were Bonds but I really should have got those in a flash
considering I have all but 3 of the Bond films. And how could I not get Arnie in True Lies?? I know that scene! Arrrgh! Oh well, at least I got #79! Guess what I’ll be doing this Winter?
Well done everyone!
I kept thinking there was a 007 feel to some of those but I just couldn’t put my finger on it. Well done HTH. And of course, NSNA not being an official Bond flick he wasn’t allowed to say ‘Bond, James Boond’.
#39, yep Pulp Fiction.
Nearly to 100:
“Ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?”
“Don’t mess with the volcano, man! Cause I’ll go Pompeii on your butt!”
“This is why only fools are heroes. You never know when some lunatic will come along with a sadistic choice. Let die the woman you love or suffer the little children.”
- “I was starting to wander what a girl has to do to get arressted.”
- “Wearing that dress is a step in the right direction.”
PS – The quote “an-al nathrak, urth fas bethud, doch-je-yel d’jen-ve” is the ye olde Irish Charm of Making from Excalibur. I’m sure I’ve written it wrong but was hoping someone might get it from attempting to pronounce it.
Just remembered this classic line:
“I have moments.”
@Mosh
“I have moments.” – I can’t put my finger on exactly when, but isn’t this Harrison Ford? Star Wars (Jedi??)? Or am I mixing it up with Leia telling him “you do have your moments” – or am I just sleepy today ….
@HTH
It’s not Harrison Ford. I’ll give you a clue, there was an very crappy remake of it recently.
@Mosh
Drove me nuts, I had to do a search – I’ve not seen the original or the remake but I’ll bet it was the quote from “The Thing” that made you think of it, eh? Since I looked it up, I dq myself from answering it …
