Great movie lines

Postby Blackthorn » Wed Aug 11, 2010 10:25 pm

From Deadline USA:

"From this a fella could catch a hole in the head."

"You'll be happy to know that stupidity is not hereditary. You've acquired it all by yourselves."

From 'After The Thin Man'
"Come on, let’s get something to eat. I’m thirsty."

Just mention any line Bogart spoke in "Casablanca."

The Thin Man also has some brilliant lines, too.

"What's that?"
"Never to speak!"

Time to quote the movie Traffic...in regards to the current administration(s)

You know, when they forced Khruschev out, he sat down and wrote two letters to his successor. He said:
"When you get yourself into a situation you can't get out of, open the first letter, and you'll be safe. When you get yourself into another situation you can't get out of, open the second letter".
Well, soon enough, this guy found himself into a tight place, so he opened the first letter. Which said:
"Blame everything on me".
So he blames the old man, it worked like a charm. He got himself into a second situation he couldn't get out of, he opened the second letter. It said:
"Sit down, and write two letters".
We have top men working on it....right now.

Army of Darkness:
Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my boomstick! The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?

Evil Ash: I'm BAD Ash... and you're GOOD Ash! You're a goody little two-shoes! Little goody two-shoes! Little goody two-shoes!
[begins to sucker-punch Ash]
Evil Ash: Goody little TWO-SHOES! Goody little TWO-SHOES! HEHEHEHEHE!
[honk honk honk]
Evil Ash: GOODY LITTLE TWO-SHOES! GOODY LITTLE...
Ash: [cocks shotgun and points it under Evil Ash's nose, nods head and shoots him] Good. Bad. I'm the guy with the gun.


Princess Bride
Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

We are men of action, lies do not become us.


Another Thin Man
Nora Charles: How did you find me here?
Nick Charles: I saw a great group of men standing around a table. I knew there was only one woman in the world who could attract men like that. A woman with a lot of money.

Nora Charles: I got rid of all those reporters.
Nick Charles: What did you tell them?
Nora Charles: We're out of scotch.
Nick Charles: What a gruesome idea.


Thin Man
Lieutenant John Guild: You got a pistol permit?
Nick Charles: No.
Lieutenant John Guild: Ever heard of the Sullivan Act?
Nora Charles: Oh, that's all right, we're married.

Nick Charles: I'm a hero. I was shot twice in the Tribune.
Nora Charles: I read where you were shot 5 times in the tabloids.
Nick Charles: It's not true. He didn't come anywhere near my tabloids.

Reporter: Well, can't you tell us anything about the case?
Nick Charles: Yes, it's putting me way behind in my drinking.
"When the mob and the press and the whole WORLD tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the River of Truth and tell the whole WORLD:

'No, YOU move.'" - Captain America

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die.
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.

A few from Leatherheads.

Leonard: I didn't come over her to be insulted.
Lexie Littleton: No? Where do you usually go?

Jimmy 'Dodge' Connelly: You're the kind of cocktail that comes on like sugar but gives you a kick in the head. The only thing you hate worse than a guy making a play is when a guy *doesn't* make a play.
Lexie Littleton: Oh, were you making a play? I hadn't realized. It might work on my Aunt Lurleen. She's a little near-sighted.
Jimmy 'Dodge' Connelly: [about his "Ladies Home Journal"] You know, there's an article on peach canning in here that I'm dying to get back to.
Lexie Littleton: Well I know you, too, Dodge Connelly. You think you're the slickest operator in Duluth, and maybe you are, but being the slickest operator in Duluth is kinda like being the world's tallest midget, if you ask me.
Jimmy 'Dodge' Connelly: It's too bad we know each other so well. We might have gotten along.
Lexie Littleton: Well, I'll live.
Jimmy 'Dodge' Connelly: Alone!

Jimmy 'Dodge' Connelly: So here we are.
Lexie Littleton: Not sure what the next move is.
Jimmy 'Dodge' Connelly: It happens.
Lexie Littleton: It's the first time for me.
Jimmy 'Dodge' Connelly: They all say that.


Cheers!

Swann: "I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request."

Will Turner: "I could have beaten you if you'd fought fair!"
Jack Sparrow: "Well, that's not much of an incentive, now is it?"

Last Man Standing

John Smith: I'm surprised you aren't mad at me... I thought you might hold it against me for killing 3 of your guys.
Doyle: It's the only cure I know for being stupid.


Pirates, DMC

Will Turner: You want me to find this?
Jack Sparrow: No. You want you to find this, because the finding of this finds you incapacitorially finding and or locating in your discovering the detecting of a way to save your dolly belle, ol' what's-her-face. Savvy?
Will Turner: This is going to save Elizabeth?
Jack Sparrow: How much do you know about Davy Jones?
Will Turner: Not much.
Jack Sparrow: Yeah, it's going to save Elizabeth.

Jack Sparrow: [with his back to Elizabeth, thinking that she is a man] Come to join my crew, lad? Welcome aboard!
Elizabeth Swann: I'm here to find the man I love.
Jack Sparrow: [startled] I'm deeply flattered, son, but my first and only love is the sea.
Elizabeth Swann: Meaning William Turner, Captain Sparrow.
Jack Sparrow: [turning around] Elizabeth!
[to Gibbs]
Jack Sparrow: Hide the rum.
