That's a simple yet profound quote, Dove.

My favorite is "You told Harpo to beat me." from the movie 'The Color Purple.'

Give me ham on 5, hold the mayo.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

I am serious, and dont call me Shirley.

What was on the menu tonight?
We had a choice, chicken or fish.
Right, I had the lasagna.

"I used to give pedicures to women who wore plastic shoes in the summer in NYC...what's a tougher gig than that?"

Fran Drescher - "The Beautician And The Beast"

For all the "Airplane" movie quote-lovers, here's a site that has 'em all...enjoy!!


All The Great Quotes from "Airplane"

There are a few lines from Fight Club that I regularly quote in daily life:

"Only after disaster can we be resurrected." (Tyler)

"First you have to give up, first you have to *know*... not fear... *know*... that someday you're gonna die." (Tyler)

"It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything." (Tyler)

"The things you own end up owning you." (Tyler)

"I am Jack's smirking revenge." (Narrator)

"On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero." (Narrator)

"Is that what a real man is supposed to look like?" (Narrator to Tyler, while looking at a Calvin Klein-esque ad on the bus)

There are dozens more...but they are hard to apply in real-life situations. Except if I give somebody chemical burn, of course.

My favourite, from The Godfather, "Don't forget the canoli."
And from Gone With The Wind, Rhett Butler to Scarlett, "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."

Have a nice day,Whistler.

One of the greates quote movies of all time... CLUE!

MRS. WHITE: He had threatened to kill me in public.
MS. SCARLETT: Why would he want to kill you in public?
WADSWORTH: I think she means he threatened in public to kill her.
MS. SCARLETT: Oh.

WADSWORTH: But your first husband also disappeared.
MRS. WHITE: That was his job, he was an illustionist.
WADSWORTH: But he never reappeared!
MRS. WHITE: Well, he wasn't a very good illusionist.

MS. SCARLETT: Maybe there really is life after death.
MRS. WHITE: Life after death is as improbable as sex after marriage.

PROF. PLUM: It's you and me, honeybunch.

PROF. PLUM: What are you afraid of, a fate worse than death?
MRS. PEACOCK: No, just death. Isn't that enough?

COL. MUSTARD: How many husbands have you had?
MRS. WHITE: Mine or other women's?
COL. MUSTARD: Yours.
MRS. WHITE: Just five. Men should be like kleenex: soft, strong and disposable.
COL. MUSTARD: You lure men to their deaths, like a spider with flies!
MRS. WHITE: Flies are where men are most vulnerable!

COP: (regarding a corpse) This man is drunk. Dead drunk.
MS. SCARLETT: Dead right.
COP: (to corpse) You won't be driving home, will you?
PROF. PLUM: He won't be driving home, officer, I promise you that.
COP: Someone will give him a lift?
MS. SCARLETT: We'll get him a car.
PROF. PLUM: A long, black car...
MS. SCARLETT: A limousine!

WADSWORTH: Even a psychiatrist can tell the difference between a patient who is alive or dead...

TELEGRAM GIRL: Dadadadadada! I... am... your singing telegram-- *GUNSHOT*

WADSWORTH: The game's up, Scarlett. There are no more bullets in that gun.
SCARLETT: Yes there is.
WADSWORTH: No, there isn't. There was one fired in the study, two at the chandelier, two at the lounge door and one at the singing telegram girl.
SCARLETT: That's not six!
WADSWORTH: One plus two plus two plus one.
SCARLETT: Nuh-uh, there was only one shot that got the chandelier. That's one plus two plus ONE plus one.
WADSWORTH: Even if you were right, that would be one plus ONE plus two plus one, not one plus two plus one plus one.
SCARLETT: Alright, one plus two plus--SHUT UP!

MRS WHITE: I hated her...so much...flames...flames on the side of my face...heaving breaths...heaving breaths...

That movie offers too many great lines to count: "I myself dabbled in pacifism once. Not in 'Nam, of course."

That said, some of my favorite quotes come from Whit Stillman's films "Barcelona" and "Metropolitan."

Barcelona:

Spanish Woman (On Shootings in America): You can't say Americans are not more violent than other people.
Fred: No?
Spanish Woman: All those people killed in shootings in America?
Fred: Oh, shootings, yes. But that doesn't mean Americans are more violent than other people. We're just better shots.


Fred: You think wedding vows are going to change everything? God, your naivete is astounding! Didn't you see "The Graduate"?
Ted: You can remember "The Graduate"?
Fred: Yeah, I can remember a few things. Apparently you don't. The end? Katharine Ross has just married this really cool guy - tall, blond, incredibly popular, the make-out king of his fraternity in Berkeley - when this obnoxious Dustin Hoffman character shows up at the back of the church, acting like a total asshole. "Elaine! Elaine!" Does Katharine Ross tell Dustin Hoffman, "Get lost, creep. I'm a married woman"? No. She runs off with him - on a bus. That's the reality.


Ted: You see, that's one of the great things about getting involved with someone from another country. You can't take it personally. What's really terrific is that when we act in ways which might objectively seem asshole-ish or, or, incredibly annoying, they don't get upset at all. They don't take it personally. They just assume it's some national characteristic.


Metropolitan:

Nick Smith: I guess you could say it’s extremely vulgar. I like it a lot.
