Fave movie quote/dialogue?

Mine is from American Psycho,

something like...

"When I see a pretty girl part of me wants to buy her flowers, gifts and take her out to a romantic dinner. Then the other part of me just wants to know what her HEAD would look like on a STICK!" (followed by laughing)

[MattV]

"Call it luck, call it karma, I believe everything happens for a reason. We were destined to get thrown out of this dump./For what purpose?/To go into business for ourselves."

[Swainy]

"Call it luck, call it karma, I believe everything happens for a reason. We were destined to get thrown out of this dump./For what purpose?/To go into business for ourselves."

From my fave movie!

"Hell of a thing killing a man. You take away all he's got.

And all he's ever gonna have." - Unforgiven

"Did you ever have a dream you were so sure was real?

What if you weren't able to awake from that dream?" - The Matrix

[Capwn]

"Call it luck, call it karma, I believe everything happens for a reason. We were destined to get thrown out of this dump./For what purpose?/To go into business for ourselves."

He's retelling a quote from Ed Gein. I wouldn't say it's a particularly great line either, although the context is admittedly hilarious. No, the very best is the closing of the marvellous opening voiceover:

There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me. Only an entity-- something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours, and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable. I simply am not there

Most certainly.

[Meatball]

Mick, give him your wallet.

What for?

He's got a knife.

That's not a knife. That's a knife.

[MattV]

Tap:

He died in a bizarre gardening accident. Police said "best leave it unsolved."

No... I'm deeply in touch with humanity.

[R0b]

Is there a 'deeply' in there?

Anyway I agree that it's a standout line. It's all in the placing.

[Puck]

Not sure if its word perfect, but more than any other film quote that I can think of, I find I'm able to make use of Kevin Spacey from Swimming with Sharks:

At age 20, if you're not a rebel, you've got no balls. If at age 30 you're still a rebel, you've got no brains.

[BossSaru]

Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant.

(James Stewart, Harvey)

"When pushed, killing is easier than breathing" - Rambo.

[linkster]

From memory

"Belloch"

"Good afternoon, Dr Jones"

"I oughta kill you right now."

"Not a very private place for a murder."

"Well these Arabs don't care if we kill each other, they're not gonna interfere in our business."

"It was not I who brought the girl into this business. Please, sit down before you fall down, we can at least behave like civilised people. I see your taste in friends remains consistent. How odd that it should end this way for us after so many stimulating encounters. I almost regret it. Where shall I find a new adversary so close to my own level?"

"Try the local sewer."

"You and I are very much alike. Archaeology is our religion, but we have both fallen from the pillar of faith. Our methods do not differ as much as you pretend. I am a shadowy reflection of you. It would take only a nudge to make you like me - to push you out of the light."

"Now you're gettng nasty."

"You know it's true. How nice. Look at this - it's worthless. $10 from a vendor in the street. But I take it, I bury it in the sand for 1000 years it becomes priceless - like the Ark. Men will kill for it. Men like you and me."

"What about your boss, da Fuhrer. I thought he was waiting to take possession."

"All in good time - when I'm finished with it. Jones do you realise what the Ark is? It's a transmitter! It's a radio for speaking to god, and it's within my reach!"

"You wanna talk to god? Let's go see him together. I've got nothing better to do."

i'm running this monkey farm now Frankenstein, and i wanna know what the FUCK you’re doing with my time!

Most of Withnail & I is just amazing.

One of my favourite lines, mostly it's the delivery, is when they're in the pub at the start and Withnail says ;

'Which...fucker...called you that?!'

[ckny]

Listen, you fuckers, you screwheads. Here is a man who would not take it anymore. A man who stood up against the scum, the cunts, the dogs, the filth, the shit. Here is a man who stood up.

[Landshead]

'See you at the party, Rictor!'

[Nick R]

I'm going to pick one from Pulp Fiction that never gets mentioned:

"You are aware that there's an invention called television, and on this invention they show shows, right?"

And also,

"Whose motorcycle is this?" - "It's a chopper, baby." - "Whose chopper is this?"

Yes, just that bit on its own, even without the icing on the cake that is "Zed's dead".

[Simmy]

'See you at the party, Rictor!'

Alec Baldwin's finest hour...

Blake: Let me have your attention for a moment! So you're talking about what? You're talking about...(puts out his cigarette)...bitching about that sale you shot, some son of a bitch that doesn't want to buy, somebody that doesn't want what you're selling, some broad you're trying to screw and so forth. Let's talk about something important. Are they all here?

Williamson: All but one.

Blake: Well, I'm going anyway. Let's talk about something important! (to Levene) Put that coffee down!! Coffee's for closers only. (Levene scoffs) Do you think I'm fucking with you? I am not fucking with you. I'm here from downtown. I'm here from Mitch and Murray. And I'm here on a mission of mercy. Your name's Levene?

Levene: Yeah.

Blake: You call yourself a salesman, you son of a bitch?

Moss: I don't have to listen to this shit.

Blake: You certainly don't pal. 'Cause the good news is -- you're fired. The bad news is you've got, all you got, just one week to regain your jobs, starting tonight. Starting with tonights sit. Oh, have I got your attention now? Good. 'Cause we're adding a little something to this months sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone want to see second prize? Second prize's a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired. You get the picture? You're laughing now? You got leads. Mitch and Murray paid good money. Get their names to sell them! You can't close the leads you're given, you can't close shit, you ARE shit, hit the bricks pal and beat it 'cause you are going out!!!

Levene: The leads are weak.

Blake: 'The leads are weak.' Fucking leads are weak? You're weak. I've been in this business fifteen years.

Moss: What's your name?

Blake: FUCK YOU, that's my name!! You know why, Mister? 'Cause you drove a Hyundai to get here tonight, I drove a eighty thousand dollar BMW. That's my name!! (to Levene) And your name is "you're wanting." And you can't play in a man's game. You can't close them. (at a near whisper) And you go home and tell your wife your troubles. (to everyone again) Because only one thing counts in this life! Get them to sign on the line which is dotted! You hear me, you fucking faggots?

(Blake flips over a blackboard which has two sets of letters on it: ABC, and AIDA.)

Blake: A-B-C. A-always, B-be, C-closing. Always be closing! Always be closing!! A-I-D-A. Attention, interest, decision, action. Attention -- do I have your attention? Interest -- are you interested? I know you are because it's fuck or walk. You close or you hit the bricks! Decision -- have you made your decision for Christ?!! And action. A-I-D-A; get out there!! You got the prospects comin' in; you think they came in to get out of the rain? Guy doesn't walk on the lot unless he wants to buy. Sitting out there waiting to give you their money! Are you gonna take it? Are you man enough to take it? (to Moss) What's the problem pal? You. Moss.

Moss: You're such a hero, you're so rich. Why you coming down here and waste your time on a bunch of bums?

(Blake sits and takes off his gold watch)

Blake: You see this watch? You see this watch?

Moss: Yeah.

Blake: That watch cost more than your car. I made $970,000 last year. How much you make? You see, pal, that's who I am. And you're nothing. Nice guy? I don't give a shit. Good father? Fuck you -- go home and play with your kids!! (to everyone) You wanna work here? Close!! (to Aaronow) You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you cocksucker? You can't take this -- how can you take the abuse you get on a sit?! You don't like it -- leave. I can go out there tonight with the materials you got, make myself fifteen thousand dollars! Tonight! In two hours! Can you? Can you? Go and do likewise! A-I-D-A!! Get mad! You sons of bitches! Get mad!! You know what it takes to sell real estate?

(He pulls something out of his briefcase)

Blake: It takes brass balls to sell real estate.

(He's holding two brass balls on string, over the appropriate "area"--he puts them away after a pause)

Blake: Go and do likewise, gents. The money's out there, you pick it up, it's yours. You don't--I have no sympathy for you. You wanna go out on those sits tonight and close, close, it's yours. If not you're going to be shining my shoes. Bunch of losers sitting around in a bar. (in a mocking weak voice) "Oh yeah, I used to be a salesman, it's a tough racket." (he takes out large stack of red index cards tied together with string from his briefcase) These are the new leads. These are the Glengarry leads. And to you, they're gold. And you don't get them. Because to give them to you is just throwing them away. (he hands the stack to Williamson) They're for closers.

I'd wish you good luck but you wouldn't know what to do with it if you got it. (to Moss as he puts on his watch again) And to answer your question, pal: why am I here? I came here because Mitch and Murray asked me to, they asked me for a favor. I said, the real favor, follow my advice and fire your fucking ass because a loser is a loser.

(He stares at Moss for a sec, and then picking up his briefcase, goes into inner office with Williamson)

[Monkeyboy]

From The Breakfast Club. Paul Gleason is awesome. He was a true master of the art of swearing with style. Pity he's dead.

---------------------

Richard Vernon: That's the last time, Bender. That the last time you ever make me look bad in front of those kids, you hear me? I make $31,000 a year and I have a home and I'm not about to throw it all away on some punk like you. But someday when you're outta here and you've forgotten all about this place and they've forgotten all about you, and you're wrapped up in your own pathetic life, I'm gonna be there. That's right. And I'm gonna kick the living shit out of you. I'm gonna knock your dick in the dirt.

Bender: You threatening me?

Richard Vernon: What are you gonna do about it? You think anyone's gonna believe you? You think anyone is gonna take your word over mine? I'm a man of respect around here. They love me around here. I'm a swell guy. You're a lying sack of shit and everybody knows it. Oh, you're a tough guy. Hey c'mon. Get on your feet pal. Let's find out how tough you are. I wanna know right now how tough you are.

[offers Bender his chin]

Richard Vernon: Just take the first shot. I'm begging you, take a shot. Just one hit. Come on, that's all I need, just one swing...

[bender pauses, staring]

Richard Vernon: That's what I thought. You're a gutless turd.

[Tempy]

I could think of lots of quotes from cool movies, but instead, here's a random one I like from a guilty pleasure.

Never trust a bald barber....he has no respect for your hair

Kuffs

[Sabreman]

Egon: Vinz, you said before you were waiting for a sign. What sign are you waiting for?

Louis: Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large removing Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!

[moosegrinder]

Most of Ghostbusters, truth be told. And The Blues Brothers.

Jake: What's this?

Elwood: What?

Jake: This car. This stupid car! Where's the Cadillac?

[Elwood doesn't answer]

Jake: The Caddy! Where's the Caddy?

Elwood: The what?

Jake: The Cadillac we used to have. The Bluesmobile!

Elwood: I traded it.

Jake: You traded the Bluesmobile for this?

Elwood: No, for a microphone.

Jake: A microphone?

[pause]

Jake: Okay I can see that. What the hell is this?

[Jack]

You can stuff it up your arse for nothing and fuck off while you're doing it!

So much hatred and despair. I love it.

[moosegrinder]

Jay gets some pretty sweet dialogue too

Bethany: McHenry is pretty far from Jersey, might I ask what brings you guys to Illinois?

Jay: Some fuck named John Hughes.

Bethany: "16 Candles" John Hughes?

Jay: You know him too? That fucking guy. Made this flick "16 Candles" right? Not bad it's got tits in it, but no bush. Of course Ebert over here don't give a shit about that stuff cause he's all in love with this John Hughes guy and rents every one of his movies. Fucking "Breakfast Club" all these stupid kids actually show up to detention, fucking "Weird Science" where this one chick wants to take off her gear and get down, but aw, no she don't cause it's a PG movie, and then there's "Pretty In Pink" which I can't watch with this tubby muthafucker any more, because everytime we get to the part where the red head hooks up with her dream guy, he starts sobbin' like a little eight-year-old with a skinned knee and shit. And nothing is worse then watching a fat man weep.

[Smitty]

Hudson: Man, this floor is freezing.

Apone: What do you want me to do, fetch your slippers for you?

Hudson: Gee, would you sir? I'd like that.

[Apone points at his face with middle finger]

Apone: Look into my eye.

(so many great bits of dialogue in Aliens, such a fantastic script)
