"'It's it, ain't it?' Some word, 'it'! In the dictionary, it breaks all records for usage: a personal pronoun of the third person and neutral gender used as a substitute for a noun; or representing something possessing sex where sex is not particularized or considered; or to refer to some matter not definitely conceived; or as the grammatical subject of a clause such as 'It is believed he is dead.' 'He is dead it is generally believed.' You can't smoke in here!"

I just remembered one. In one of the Austin Powers movies.

(while giving the chick a back rub)
"How does that feel, baby?"
"Mmm, lower."
*deep voice* "How does that feel, baby?"

From "So I Married An Axe Murderer":

Charlie's Dad: Well, it's a well known fact sonny jim that there's a secret society of the five wealthiest people in the world, known as the Pentavrit, who run everything in the world, including the newspapers, and meet triannually at a secret country mansion in Colorado known as....The Meadows!
Tony: So who's in this Pentavrit?
Charlie's Dad: The Queen. The Vatican. The Gettys. The Rothchilds. And Colonel Sanders, before he went tets up. Ah, I hated the Colonel, with his wee beady eye, and that smug look on his face, "you're going to buy my chicken, oh oh oh."
Charlie: Dad, how can you hate...the Colonel?
Charlie's Dad: Because he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes you crave it fortnightly, smart arse!


(And Kylie, your quote was from Austin Powers, not SIMAAM. Austin says, "Only two things scare me in this world, and one of them is nuclear war." Basil asks, "What's the other?" "Huh?" "What's the other thing that scares you?" "Carnies. Circus folk. Nomads, you know. Smell like cabbage. Small hands.")

Harriet! SWEET Harriet! Hard-hearted-harbinger of haggis!

Ohhhhhh, you want to buy my chicken.



Thanks for the tip on the quote... I couldn't remember what it was from(which is just crazy... my apologies).

There's some might entertaining reading in this thread....

OLD MAN
You seek a great fortune, you three
who are now in chains...

[The men fall silent.]

OLD MAN
And you will find a fortune - though
it will not be the fortune you seek...

[The three convicts, faces upturned, listen raptly to the blind prophet.]

OLD MAN
...But first, first you must travel
a long and difficult road - a road
fraught with peril, uh-huh, and
pregnant with adventure. You shall
see things wonderful to tell. You
shall see a cow on the roof of a
cottonhouse, uh-huh, and oh, so many
startlements...

[The cloudy eyes of the old man stare sightlessly down the
track as the seesaw handle rises and falls through frame.]

OLD MAN
...I cannot say how long this road
shall be. But fear not the obstacles
in your path, for Fate has vouchsafed
your reward. And though the road
may wind, and yea, your hearts grow
weary, still shall ye foller the
way, even unto your salvation.

[The old man pumps - reek-a reek-a reek-a - as all contemplate
his words.]

Ghost - now THAT is a quote.

This is a paraphrase as I cannot locate the movie score and I don't want to watch the DVD right now to find this line. It comes from the Razor's Edge which I liked the version with Bill Murray enough to puchase it at some point.

Anyone can be a holiman and live on the top of a mountain. But to live down in the valley with other people is as difficult as walking on a razor's edge.

Saw Woody Allen's Melinda and Melinda last night. Loved this exchange:

Greg (Josh Brolin): What do you do for exercise?
Hobie (Will Ferrel): Tiddly winks. And an occasional anxiety attack.

Gwenovier: What are you doing?

From The Motorcycle Diaries:

Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: Mother.
Mother Sister Alberto: Yes?
Alberto Granado: We want to eat.
Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: We deserve to eat like everyone else.
Mother Sister Alberto: Yes, but you didn't go to mass.
Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: No.
Mother Sister Alberto: Then, how do you expect to feed the body if you didn't feed the soul first?
Alberto Granado: Er, denying food is not very Christian-like.
Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: Yes, I doubt Jesus would act like this.
Mother Sister Alberto: In this house, we have a set of rules that have to be followed.
Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: [to Alberto now, as she turns away] I haven't read any rule book.
Alberto Granado: Neither did I. I think that if I find it I would eat it.

LYDON: I'm working on next month's Oscar nominations. Any preference?

CIGARETTE-SMOKING MAN: I couldn't care less. What I don't want to see is the Bills winning the Super Bowl. As long as I'm alive, that doesn't happen.

JONES: That'll be tough, sir. Buffalo wants it bad.

CIGARETTE-SMOKING MAN: So did the Soviets in '80.

JONES: What're you saying? You rigged the Olympic hockey game?

CIGARETTE-SMOKING MAN: What's the matter? Don't you believe in miracles?

I love the whole script of casablanca. but this line is from broken saints.

farmer: that good and bad things come from the same place. from the inside.

sun tzu says something similar to that in the art of war.

from Monty Python and the Holy Grail:

King Arthur: Old woman.

Dennis: Man.

King Arthur: Man, sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there?

Dennis: I'm 37.

King Arthur: What?

Dennis: I'm 37. I'm not old.

King Arthur: Well I can't just call you "man".

Dennis: Well you could say "Dennis".

King Arthur: I didn't know you were called Dennis.

Dennis: Well you didn't bother to find out did you?

King Arthur: I did say sorry about the "old woman," but from behind you looked...

Dennis: What I object to is you automatically treat me like an inferior.

King Arthur: Well I am king.

Dennis: Oh, king eh? Very nice. And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.

King Arthur: I am your king.

Woman: Well, I didn't vote for you.

King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.

Woman: Well, how'd you become king then?
[Angelic music plays... ]

King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king.

Dennis: Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Dennis: Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you.

Dennis: Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away.

Dennis: Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed!

King Arthur: Bloody peasant!

Dennis: Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about! Did you see him repressing me? You saw him, didn't you?

GUARD: Of course not! You are English types-a!

GALAHAD: What are you doing in England?
GUARD: Mind your own business!

There's a passage I got memorized, Ezekiel 25:17.

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

Now I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before I popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice. Now I'm thinkin': it could mean you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could be you're the righteous man, and I'm the shepherd, and it's the world that's evil and selfish. Now I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak, and I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard... to be the shepherd.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.

Hello, little man. Boy, I sure heard a bunch about you. See, I was a good friend of your dad's. We were in that Hanoi pit of hell together over five years. Hopefully...you'll never have to experience this yourself, but when two men are in a situation like me and your Dad were, for as long as we were, you take on certain responsibilities of the other. If it had been me who had not made it, Major Coolidge would be talkin' right now to my son Jim. But the way it turned out is I'm talkin' to you, Butch. I got somethin' for you.

(The Captain sits down and pulls a gold wrist watch from his pocket)

This watch I got here was first purchased by your great-grandfather during the first World War. It was bought in a little general store in Knoxville, Tennessee. Made by the first company to ever make wrist watches. Up till then people just carried pocket watches. It was bought by private Doughboy Erine Coolidge on the day he set sail for Paris. It was your great-grandfather's war watch and he wore it everyday he was in that war. When he had done his duty, he went home to your great-grandmother, took the watch off, put it an old coffee can, and in that can it stayed 'til your granddad Dane Coolidge was called upon by his country to go overseas and fight the Germans once again. This time they called it World War II. Your great-grandfather gave this watch to your granddad for good luck. Unfortunately, Dane's luck wasn't as good as his old man's. Dane was a Marine and he was killed -- along with the other Marines at the battle of Wake Island. Your granddad was facing death, he knew it. None of those boys had any illusions about ever leavin' that island alive. So three days before the Japanese took the island, your granddad asked a gunner on an Air Force transport name of Winocki, a man he had never met before in his life, to deliver to his infant son, who he'd never seen in the flesh, his gold watch. Three days later, your granddad was dead. But Winocki kept his word. After the war was over, he paid a visit to your grandmother, delivering to your infant father, his Dad's gold watch. This watch. (holds it up, long pause) This watch was on your Daddy's wrist when he was shot down over Hanoi. He was captured, put in a Vietnamese prison camp. He knew if the gooks ever saw the watch it'd be confiscated, taken away. The way your Dad looked at it, that watch was your birthright. He'd be damned if any slopes were gonna put their greasy yella hands on his boy's birthright. So he hid it in the one place he knew he could hide something. His ass. Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass. Then he died of dysentery, he gave me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you.

After Hours

Marcy: My husband was a movie freak. Actually, he was particularly obsessed with one movie, "The Wizard of Oz." He talked about it constantly. I thought it was cute at first. On our wedding night, I was a virgin. When we made love - you've seen the movie, haven't you?
Paul Hackett: "The Wizard of Oz"? Yeah.
Marcy: Well, whenever he - you know, when he came...
Paul Hackett: Yeah.
Marcy: ...he would scream out, "Surrender Dorothy!" That's all! Just "Surrender Dorothy!"
Paul Hackett: Wow.
Marcy: Instead of saying something normal like, "Oh, God," or something normal like that. I mean, it was pretty creepy! And I told him I thought so, but he just, he just couldn't stop, he just, he just couldn't stop, he just... couldn't stop.
