or even

"3. In certain - extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law. To pursue - natural justice. This is not vengeance. Revenge is not a valid motive, it's an emotional response. No, not vengeance. Punishment."

28. 'Jelly! Did I do that??'

"No, Doc. That one's mine. You got the '72 Chevy and the Amana side-by-side refrigerator-freezer."

[idgiehkt]

31. rough paraphrase

Terri Garr's character from Tootsie, this is one of the wisest things I've ever heard. It was when she was getting the 'let's be friends' speech from Dustin Hoffman's character, and she replied "We are not friends, because I don't take this kind of shit from my friends...only from lovers."

[Mad_Dem_X]

81. Yes! One of the best speeches EVER

(something like)
"Don't talk to me about love - I don't care about love! I read 'The Second Sex,' I read 'The Cinderella Complex,' I'm responsible for my own orgasm - I don't care! I just don't like being lied to!"

Not forgetting the classic: "A guy named Les is sending you candy? Why is he thanking you for a lovely night in front of the fire?"

Teri Garr should have gotten the Oscar for this role.

[idgiehkt]

86. "I just don't like being lied to"

:applause:

I wholeheartedly agree. All Jessica what's her name did during that movie was simper and bounce. Garr kicked ass and spoke for just about all of woman-kind. There is also a line where she says something to the nature of that there was nothing he could do to make it better...she said something like "I'm just gonna have to feel this way until I don't feel this way anymore, and you're gonna have to live with the fact that you are the one that made me feel this way." It's been years since I watched that movie but her scenes in it are incredible and the only thing that really makes that movie bearable for me; the rest of it is pretty trite and campy.

[libnnc]

32. "Now go get your fucking shine box..."

That and "Stop feeding the dog from the table with the plate on top of it!!!"

Goodfellas! Love that movie.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

33. From Patton

After Patton kicks a soldier who's sleeping on the floor in the butt:

Patton aide: What are you doing there, soldier?
Soldier getting up from floor: Trying to get some sleep, sir.
Patton: Well, get back down there, son. You're the only son of a bitch in this headquarters who knows what he's trying to do.

[mentalsolstice]

34. Don Corleone...

"Don Corleone, I am honored and grateful that you have invited me to your daughter's wedding on the wedding day of your daughter's wedding . And I hope that their first child is a masculine child." Luca Brasi actually said to Don Corleone.

[NYYFan]

[terrya]

That film is a treasure trove of great dialogue.

47. It is.

Someone once asked husband and I how long we'd been married. He mutters, "All records were lost and there are no survivors." I snort; someone looked puzzled.

[Nye Bevan]

49. Funny how?

I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to fuckin' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?

Just... you know, how you tell the story, what?

[montanto]

68. I love that "English motherfucker . . " too

"What, I . . . "

Bammmmm

love that whole scene.

[noonwitch]

71. Here's a couple scenes, not really lines.

from "Armageddon"
Rockhound: We're in segment 202, lateral grid 6, site 15H32 - give or take a few yards. Captain American here blew the landing by 26 miles!
Colonel William Sharp: How the hell do you know that?
Rockhound: Because I'm a genius
Watts: The gauges will not read; they're all peaked like we're plugged into some magnetic field
Rockhound: Who on the spaceship wants to know why?
Colonel William Sharp: By all means
Rockhound: The reason we were shooting for grid 8 was because thermographics indicated that grid 9 was compressed iron ferrite... which means you've landed us on a goddamn iron plate!
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Chuckie: Are we gonna have a problem here?

Clark: No, no, no, no! There's no problem here. I was just hoping you might give me some insight into the evolution of the market economy in the southern colonies. My contention is that prior to the Revolutionary War, the economic modalities, especially in the southern colonies, could be most aptly described as agrarian precapitalist.

Chuckie: Let me tell you something -

Will: Of course that's your contention. You're a first-year grad student; you just got finished reading some Marxian historian, Pete Garrison probably. You're gonna be convinced of that 'till next month when you get to James Lemon. Then you're going to be talking about how the economies of Virginia and Pennsylvania were entrepreneurial and capitalist way back in 1740. That's gonna last until next year; you're gonna be in here regurgitating Gordon Wood, talkin' about, you know, the pre-revolutionary utopia and the capital-forming effects of military mobilization.

Clark: Well, as a matter of fact, I won't, because Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social -

Will: "Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social distinctions predicated upon wealth, especially inherited wealth"? You got that from Vickers' "Work in Essex County," page 98, right? Yeah, I read that too. Were you gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts of your own on this matter? Or do you, is that your thing, you come into a bar, read some obscure passage and then pretend - you pawn it off as your own, as your own idea just to impress some girls, embarrass my friend?

Clark:

Will: See, the sad thing about a guy like you is, in 50 years you're gonna start doin' some thinkin' on your own and you're going to come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life: one, don't do that, and two, you dropped 150 grand on a f***in' education you could have got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library!
...
Morgan: My boy's wicked smart!

[SaveElmer]

72. From "Glory"...

"Give 'em Hell 54th"

[kwassa]

80. "What we have heah is FAYUH to communicate!"

the immortal line from Cool Hand Luke that became a catch phrase for us for years.

[GenDem]

74. Remember this dialogue in Fargo?

I laugh my ass off everytime I see this movie...but this is my favorite scene. It takes place in a guys driveway as he's chopping the ice off. He's just called in to the cops after seeing the Steve Buscemi character.


:rofl:




Officer Olson: What'd this guy look like anyways?

Mr. Mohra: Oh, he was a little guy, kinda funny-lookin'.

Officer Olson: Uh-huh. In what way?

Mr. Mohra: Just a general way.

Officer Olson: Okay, well, thanks a bunch, Mr. Mohra. You're right, it's probably nothin', but thanks for callin' her in.

Mr. Mohra: Oh sure. They say she's gonna turn cold tomorrow.

Officer Olson: Yah, got a front movin' in.

Mr. Mohra: Ya got that right.

[electricmonk]

75. All from North By Northwest

How does a girl like you get to be a girl like you?

Eve Kendall: I'm a big girl.
Roger Thornhill: Yeah, and in all the right places, too.

Now you listen to me, I'm an advertising man, not a red herring. I've got a job, a secretary, a mother, two ex-wives and several bartenders that depend upon me, and I don't intend to disappoint them all by getting myself "slightly" killed.

Roger Thornhill: I don't like the games you play, professor.
The Professor: War is hell, Mr. Thornhill, even when it's a cold one.


And from Airplane 2:
Striker: I got a piece of metal. It's a bobby pin.
Murdock: A bobby pin? What the hell is the man doing with a bobby pin?
Shatner's delivery was priceless on that one.

[Rambis]

76. Bummer about your party man

what can I tell you the keg guy bricked!

[Zavulon]

77. Ma'am, you may now reprocure your vehicle.

This was in some otherwise forgettable Martin Lawrence movie, but the line was killer.

[NewJeffCT]

82. Just about anything from Rodney & Bill Murray in "Caddyshack"

"When you buy a hat like that, I bet you get a free bowl of soup... (notices it on judge's wife) Oh, looks good on you, though"

"hey baby, you must have been something before electricity."

"It's in the hole!!"

and of course:>>
And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

[Mad_Dem_X]

83. From The Color Purple:

"Until you do right by me, everything you ever think about, everything you ever touch, is gonna fail. I may be poor, I may be black...hell, I may even be ugly. But, dear God, I'm here. I'm here!"

"Did I ever ask you for anything? DID-I-EVER-ASK-YOU-FOR-ANYTHING? I never asked you for nothin', not even your sorry-ass hand in marriage!"

"See, Daddy - sinners have soul, too."

[Mad_Dem_X]

84. "If you can't fix it, you gotta stand it."

"I wish I knew how to quit you!"

"Friend, this is a goddamned bitch of an unsatisfactory situation."

"Swear to God, I didn't know we were gonna get into this again. Yeah, I did...I redlined all the way, couldn't get here fast enough."

[chaska]

85. "I love the word "fail." Failure is human destiny...

Failure teaches us that life is but a draft, a long rehearsal for a show that will never play." From the French film, 'Amelie'.

'Amelie' is a must see film. From the same director that did 'Delicatessen'.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

87. From Little Big Man

Dustin Hoffman is a young man who has been adopted by the Native Americans. He is talking to the old chief about women.

Old Chief: Does she show pleasant enthusiasm when you mount her?
