What are some of your favorite lines from movies?

1. Behind this mask, there is no flesh. Behind this mask is an idea and ideas are bulletproof. V for Vendetta.
2. Time not important, only life important. The 5th Element.

Pretty much everything in “When Harry Met Sally”, but this is one of my favorites:

Harry Burns: There are two kinds of women: high maintenance and low maintenance.
Sally Albright: Which one am I?
Harry Burns: You’re the worst kind; you’re high maintenance but you think you’re low maintenance.
Sally Albright: I don’t see that.
Harry Burns: You don’t see that? Waiter, I’ll begin with a house salad, but I don’t want the regular dressing. I’ll have the balsamic vinegar and oil, but on the side. And then the salmon with the mustard sauce, but I want the mustard sauce on the side. “On the side” is a very big thing for you.
Sally Albright: Well, I just want it the way I want it.
Harry Burns: I know; high maintenance.

“Do you ever listen, or are you just waiting for an opportunity to speak?”

Pulp Fiction

“Jesus wept”-Hellraiser

Don’t ever let anyone ever say to you, “You shouldn’t regret anything.”
Don’t do that, don’t!
You regret what you fucking want!
And use that, use that, use that regret for anything, any way you want.
You can use it, okay?

Earl Partridge in Magnolia

Sealed with a curse as sharp as a knife. Doomed is your soul and damned is your life

“Game over man!!”

“You should have bought the squirrel.” Kathy Bates Rat Race

“You are to wait here until I return with the king”
from Monty Python Search for the Holy Grail

I used to have a colleague who fully understood and whenever people (or we ourselves) were on the brink of starting a total nonsense discussion, either he or I had only to quote ’‘You are to wait here until I return with the King…” and we would have a lot of fun.

I’ll be back!!! Terminator.

Manhattan
Party Guest: I finally had an orgasm, and my doctor said it was the wrong kind.
Isaac Davis (Woody Allen): You had the wrong kind? I’ve never had the wrong kind, ever. My worst one was right on the money.

Kate: Did you just stick your gum under my coffee table?
Angie: [nervous] I don’t know
Kate: What do you mean, you don’t know?
You think you’re at an Arby’s right now?
Angie: You know what?
I wish I was at an Arby’s cause there’s better food and cooler people there!
Kate: [looks under coffee table]
Did you stick all this gum under here?
Angie: I don’t know!
Maybe you stuck some of it under there!
Kate: Yeah, actually, you might be right.
Cause sometimes, when I work a really long day, I like to come home and chew a huge wad of Bubblicious gum and stick it under my reclaimed barnwood coffee table!
Angie: Bitch, I don’t know your life!

From Baby Mama.

@stranger_in_a_strange_land You better know that is from Treasure In the Sierra madre” or you’re gonna get dick punched!

It seems a third of the things I say are lines from Movies. The Big Lebowski, Apocalypse Now, Casablanca, Fight Club, Monty Python and the Holy Grail are all sources of great lines.

Hard to think of a favorite. Maybe “Have you ever seen any Gladiator movies?” from Airplane.

Oh, yeah, an African swallow maybe, but not a European swallow.

SHRUBBERY!!!

Black Doug: I always wondered why they were called roofies, ‘cause you’re more likely to end up on the floor than the roof. They should call ‘em floories.

In the movie Avatar
Jake Sully “Neytiri calls me skxawng. It means moron.”

I found the complete dialogue from Monty Pyhton and the Holy Grail.
Seems I misremembered it, but IMBD helped me out…

King of Swamp Castle: Guards, make sure the prince doesn’t leave this room until I come and get him.
Guard #1: Not to leave the room… even if you come and get him.
Guard #2: [hiccups]
King of Swamp Castle: No, no. Until I come and get him.
Guard #1: Until you come and get him, we’re not to enter the room.
King of Swamp Castle: No, no, no. You stay in the room, and make sure he doesn’t leave.
Guard #1: And you’ll come and get him.
Guard #2: [hiccups]
King of Swamp Castle: Right.
Guard #1: We don’t need to do anything, apart from just stop him entering the room.
King of Swamp Castle: No, no. Leaving the room.
Guard #1: Leaving the room, yes.
King of Swamp Castle: All right?
Guard #2: [hiccups]
Guard #1: Right. Oh, if, if, if, uh, if, if, uh, if, if, if, we… oh, if… oh…
King of Swamp Castle: Look, it’s quite simple. You just stay here, and make sure he doesn’t leave the room. All right?
Guard #2: [hiccups]
Guard #1: Oh, I remember, uh, can he leave the room with us?
King of Swamp Castle: No, no, no, no, you just keep him in here, and make sure…
Guard #1: Oh yeah, we’ll keep him in here, obviously, but if he had to leave, and we were with him…
King of Swamp Castle: No, just keep him in here…
Guard #1: Until you, or anyone else…
King of Swamp Castle: No, not anyone else. Just me.
Guard #1: Just you.
Guard #2: [hiccups]
King of Swamp Castle: Get back.
Guard #1: Get back.
King of Swamp Castle: All right?
Guard #1: Right, we’ll stay here until you get back.
King of Swamp Castle: And make sure he doesn’t leave.
Guard #1: What?
King of Swamp Castle: Make sure he doesn’t leave.
Guard #1: The prince?
King of Swamp Castle: Yes, make sure he doesn’t leave.
Guard #1: Oh, yes, of course.
[Points at Guard #2]
Guard #1: I thought you meant him. You know, it seemed a bit daft me I were to guard him when he’s a guard.
King of Swamp Castle: Is that clear?
Guard #2: [hiccups]
Guard #1: Oh, quite clear. No problems.
King of Swamp Castle: Right.
[King of Swamp Castle turns to leave the room, both guards follow him]
King of Swamp Castle: Where are you going?
Guard #1: We’re coming with you.
King of Swamp Castle: No, no, no. I want you to stay here and make sure he doesn’t leave.
Guard #1: Oh, I see. Right.

The only verdict is vengeance, a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain. (V for Vendetta)

Angela: Who is it, darling?
Geoffrey: It’s a Mr Death or something… he’s come about the
reaping… [To Reaper.] I don’t think we need any at the
moment.
.......
Grim Reaper: Silence!!! I have come for you.
Angela: ... You mean to…
Grim Reaper: ... Take you away. That is my purpose. I am Death.
Geoffrey: Well that’s cast rather a gloom over the evening hasn’t
it?
Katzenberg: I don’t see it that way, Geoff. Let me tell you what I
think we’re dealing with here, a potentially positive learning
experience…
Grim Reaper: Shut up! Shut up you American. You always talk, you
Americans, you talk and you talk and say ‘Let me tell you
something’ and ‘I just wanna say this’, Well you’re dead now,
so shut up.
Monty Python’s Meaning of Life

I didn’t even have the mousse!

God I hope that’s pudding.

Everything from Day of the Dead.

Gay Perry: Look up idiot in the dictionary. You know what you’ll find?
Harry: A picture of me?
Gay Perry: No! The definition of the word “idiot”! Which you fucking are!

@aprilsimnel Is that Rosemary’s Baby?

@cockswain – Michael Palin (in drag as an American housewife) supposedly ad-libbed that line at the end of the scene in the house with the Grim Reaper in Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life that @Trillian referenced above me. All the characters in that scene are supposed to have died because they’ve eaten a tainted salmon mousse – except Palin’s character. Palin forgot to eat any of it during the scene, and so…. Apparently, the line cracked them up in editing, so they kept it in.

@aprilsimnel oh, I remember that now. Besides, she did have the mousse in Rosemary’s Baby. On the lines on Monty Python, I love this:

Pontius Pilate: What about you? Do you find it… wisible… when I say the name… ‘Biggus’...‘Dickus’?

@cockswain That entire scene is pee-your-pants-funny:

“Do we have anyone by that name”
“Well… no sir.”
“You sound vewwy sure, have you checked?”
“Well no, I think it’s a joke name sir.”
”...What’s so funny about..Biggus Dickus?”

“If we bring a little joy into your humdrum lives, it makes us feel as though our hard work ain’t been in vain for nothin’! Bless you all! Mwah! Mwah!”

“Oh, my queen; you know you’ve hit rock-bottom when even drag is a drag.”

(from Clue)

Wadsworth: You were jealous that your husband was schtupping Yvette, that’s why you killed him too.
Mrs. White: Yes. Yes, I did it. I killed Yvette. I hated her, so much… it-it- the f – it flam – flames. Flames, on the side of my face, breathing-breathl- heaving breaths. Heaving breath…

(from Army of Darkness)

Ash: First you wanna kill me, now you wanna kiss me. Blow.

“You get NOTHING! You LOSE! Good day, Sir!”
Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory

That is one of my favorites :P

Also:

“I knew a guy who was dyslexic, but he was also cross-eyed, so everything came out right.”
That one is from a little surrealist gem known as Gummo.

And finally, a musical quote:

In heaven… Everything is fine… In heaven… Everything is fine… You got your good things, and I got mine…
From one of the best surrealist movies ever made, Eraserhead

Yay surrealism, the best quotes are always in that genre :P

Louise: So what happened, were you bored in Manchester?
Johnny: Was I bored? No, I wasn’t fuckin’ bored. I’m never bored. That’s the trouble with everybody – you’re all so bored. You’ve had nature explained to you and you’re bored with it, you’ve had the living body explained to you and you’re bored with it, you’ve had the universe explained to you and you’re bored with it, so now you want cheap thrills and, like, plenty of them, and it doesn’t matter how tawdry or vacuous they are as long as it’s new as long as it’s new as long as it flashes and fuckin’ bleeps in forty fuckin’ different colors. So whatever else you can say about me, I’m not fuckin’ bored.

“Who the FUCK is gonna pay for the GODDAMN DRINKS??!?”—Barfly

“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” Princess Bride
“You’re my sun, my moon, my starlilt sky; without you I dwell in darkness’ and it went away?” Willow

“F*ck you and the horse you rode in on.” Changling (spelling)

Definitely Terminator’s ‘I’ll be back”, it gets me every time….
