Greatest Lines
What are some of the best lines in movies or television shows that have just stuck with you?
I was watching the film The Governess last night and Minnie Driver has this brilliant line:
I would let you suck the marrow from my bones
Also, another of my favorite lines is in Star Trek: First Contact:
You think in such three-dimensional terms. How small you've become.
I have more, but I can't think of them, so let's hear your favorites.
Was that Choke?
No, but I can see the fit.
It's actually from "Out of Touch". That line has just stuck with me. Not positive if just is in there though. Either way...
"Plus, if I go too long without writing I start to turn into a real asshole." -misterwoe
"She'll like what she's told to like." -Mo'Don
I believe the hippie philosophy emphasizes doing little or nothing for society. It seems to me that the hippie culture does not take its ultimate consequences into account, and that it could not survive except as a parasite.
One invents one’s beauty as one invents one’s name or destiny or dream; and a thousand exchanges transpire between the dreamers: I will be the face of your dream, if you will be the dream to which I can give a face.
Those aren't from movies or television, actually, but i wanted to share them anyway.
I liked how in the movie Avatar the blue things would say "I see you" instead of "I love you".
It just stuck with me. Their saying in context, was more powerful.
Man is the cruelest animal.
Not really greatest anything. But I always liked this line for some reason. Terribly vulgar. But it hit something with me when I was younger.
"Don't be a good neighbor anymore to her. I'll have to send you a love letter! Straight from my heart, fucker! You know what a love letter is? It's a bullet from a fucking gun, fucker! You receive a love letter from me, and you're fucked forever! You understand, fuck? I'll send you straight to hell, fucker!... In dreams... I walk with you. In dreams... I talk to you. In dreams, you're mine... all the time. Forever." - Frank Booth from Blue Velvet
These things happen man
There's people who are made up of the same things as dreams
They come into our lives and they last for as long as the dream does
They're like lightning
They become stars
Then only you know in what part of the sky to find that star
But they will always be there-from the movie Parentesis
it wasn't the greatest movie but this line just made it for me
I know what you're up to, you think cos shes sooo massive, she'll count as 2 shags, well she doesnt!
"You've had an eventful day bunking off school, buying alcohol illegally, defacing carly's drive and insulting Neil's dad, have i missed anything?"
"We also hit a spastic with a frisbee"
Awesome, Big Stephen.

haha brilliant. where are those from?
The Inbetweeners. Too funny.
Dory, in Finding Nemo (brings me to tears, every time):
...I look at you, and I'm home...
Ennis Del Mar, in Brokeback Mountain (the story, but I'm sure it's in the film, too):
If you can't fix it, you gotta stand it.
O'Reilly, in The Magnificent Seven:
Don't you ever say that again about your fathers, because they are not cowards. You think I am brave because I carry a gun; well, your fathers are much braver because they carry responsibility, for you, your brothers, your sisters, and your mothers. And this responsibility is like a big rock that weighs a ton. It bends and it twists them until finally it buries them under the ground. And there's nobody says they have to do this. They do it because they love you, and because they want to. I have never had this kind of courage. Running a farm, working like a mule every day with no guarantee anything will ever come of it. This is bravery. That's why I never even started anything like that... that's why I never will.
Celie, in The Color Purple:
The jail you planned for me is the one you're gonna rot in.
Every line in Gone With the Wind (my favorite movie, OF ALL TIME.)
"It takes two to lie Marge, one to lie and one to listen." Homer Simpson.
"well she's either a cruel horny bitch or she might actually like you." - audreythirteen
My teeth have begun to fall out. The medicine cabinet is now the Brundle Museum of Natural History. You wanna see what else is in it?
Brundlefly.
Damn, I love that movie. Or just Jeff Goldblum in general.
Women! What can you say? Who made 'em? God must have been a fuckin' genius. The hair... They say the hair is everything, you know. Have you ever buried your nose in a mountain of curls... just wanted to go to sleep forever? Or lips... and when they touched, yours were like... that first swallow of wine... after you just crossed the desert. Tits. Hoo-ah! Big ones, little ones, nipples staring right out at ya, like secret searchlights. Mmm. Legs. I don't care if they're Greek columns... or secondhand Steinways. What's between 'em... passport to heaven. I need a drink. Yes, Mr Sims, there's only two syllables in this whole wide world worth hearing: pussy. Hah! Are you listenin' to me, son? I'm givin' ya pearls here.
from Scent of a Woman
"No bed...Where does he sleep?"
"He doesn't sleep."
"Well where does he fuck?"
Enter Al Pacino: "EVERYWHERE!"
The Devil's Advocate
The next day, I drop some acid and get lost in the subway for a full day and can't find my way out. I meet a cute girl who lets me jack off onto her as long as no cum gets onto her Paul Smith coat. We get stoned while listening to Michael Jackson records and the next morning I wake up talking to myself. I have a big bump on my head from flailing in my sleep. I get my stuff and barely make my plane back to the United States... I no longer know who I am and I feel like the ghost of a total stranger.
"I just want to know you."
"What does that mean? Know me. Know me? Nobody ever knows anyone, ever. You will never know me."
Rules of Attraction
"Fuck backwards ass cave dwelling fundamentalist assholes everywhere, on the name of thousands of innocents killed I pray you spend the rest of eternity rotting with your 72 virgins in a jet fueled fire in hell. You towel headed camel jockies can kiss my royal, Irish, ass!"
(the whole chicken of that is epic^)
The 25th Hour
"I wouldn't want to fight him."
"And that's why no one will remember your name."
Troy
"There comes a time when you've got to prove to your friends that you're worth a damn. Sometimes that means dying. Sometimes it means killing a whole lotta people."
"Marv would have been right at home in the thirteenth century, swinging a battle axe into somebody's head."
"Goldie. She was an angel and more when I needed one."
"Ask yourself if that corpse of a slut is worth dying for."
Worth dying for. Worth killing for. Worth going to hell for.
"Hell's waking up every goddamn day and not even knowing why you're here."
"She shivers in the wind like the last leaf on a dying tree. I let her hear my footsteps. She only goes stiff for a moment."
"I know it's pretty damn weird to eat people."
Sin City
"Oh, you. You just couldn't let me go, could you? This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You are truly incorruptible, aren't you? Huh? You won't kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness. And I won't kill you because you're just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever."
The Dark Knight
"I'm coming out now. Any man I see, I'm gonna shoot. Any man takes a shot at me, I'm not only gonna shoot him, I'm gonna shoot his wife, his kids, his dog... and burn his house down."
"It's a hell of a thing killin' a man. You take away all he's got, and all he ever will have."
"Deserve's got nothin' to do with it."
"You ever go into town, Will?"
"Sure, now and then. Pick up things for the farm."
"No, I mean for a woman."
"Don't reckon that's right for a father."
"...."
"...."
"So you just use your hand, Will?"
*Clint glare*
"I was lyin' before... I ain't never really killed anybody."
"Well you sure killed the hell outta that one."
Unforgiven
"Now I KNOW you don't smoke no weed--but I'ma get you high today. You ain't got no job, you ain't got shit to do..."
Friday
"I'd like to stop thinking of the presence, like right now, as some insignificant preamble to something else."
"Behind every good man there is a woman, and that woman was Martha Washington, man, and everyday George would come home, she would have a big fat bowl waiting for him, man, when he come in the door, man, she was a hip, hip, hip lady, man."
"What are you looking at? Wipe that face off your head, bitch."
"Have you seen Jodi around?"
"No, she left your ass."
"Well you win some, you lose some."
"What are you, Issac fucking Newton? Why don't you observe while I kick your teeth down your throat?"
"You got a joint, man?"
"Nah, man."
"It'd be a lot cooler if you did."
Dazed and Confused
"Ohhhh, you're huntin' it, too? Ain'tchya!? I could see it way back there in the dust: you're a pilgrim like me. Well you can't kill damnation, mister. It don't die like a normal man."
Halloween 5
Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

Once Upon a Time in Mexico
You think I got kicked out because of just the aquarium? Nah, it was the handjob. And you know what else? It was worth it.
Rushmore
When polar bears hunt, they crouch down by a hole in the ice and wait for a seal to pop up. They keep one paw over their nose so that they blend in, because they've got those black noses. They'd blend in perfectly if not for the nose. So the question is, how do they know their noses are black? From looking at other polar bears? Do they see their reflections in the water and think, "I'd be invisible if not for that." That seems like a lot of thinking for a bear.
The Informant
Some of my favortie lines are from The Simpsons...
"I believe the children are our future, unless we stop them now!"
"Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home wine-making course and I forgot how to drive?"
"Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true!"
"...human speech is like a cracked tin kettle, on which we hammer out tunes to make bears dance when we long to move the stars."
"Should we bury them Josey?"
"Buzzards gotta eat too."
Outlaw Josey Wales
"I haven't been fucked like that since gradeschool!"
Marla in Fight Club. The original line was "I wanna have your abortion." But they asked Chuck to change it because it would offend people. After he changed it to the above quote they knew better than to ask him to change anything else. Lesson: Don't fuck with Chuck.
Sanity is the playground for the unimaginative
Lucky Number Slevin has a bunch. Here are some...
{Copy/pasted from the IMDB page.}
Sloe: You got some id?
Slevin: See, the funny thing about that is...
Sloe: [interrupting] Hey, look! Tell it to the one-legged man, so he can bump it off down the road.
Slevin: Look. I'm not the guy you're looking for. I don't live here.
Sloe: Yeah well you look like the guy who lives here.
Slevin: Man, you don't know what the guy who lives here looks like.
Elvis: What he means to say is that you look like you live here.
Sloe: Yeah, that's what I mean to say.
The Boss: [showing a picture] This was my son. Notice how I said was? That's because he's dead. Relegated to the past tense. Went from an is to a was before he had his breakfast.
Slevin: Bummer.
Slevin: I'm not gay.
Brikowski: I'm a cop.
Slevin: Well, I'm not a robber if you catch my drift.
Lindsey: I'm tall for my height.
Lindsey: What happen to your nose?
Slevin Kelevra: I used it to break some guy's fist.
This one is one of my favorites. I use it in real life...
Slevin: I'm gonna say the same thing any man with two penises says when his tailor asks him if he dresses to the right or left.
Lindsey: What?
[cuts to Boss's penthouse]
Slevin: Yes.
I've resigned. I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered! My life is my own.
-The Prisoner
George: You know, this used to be a helluva good country. I can't understand what's gone wrong with it.
Billy: Man, everybody got chicken, that's what happened. Hey, we can't even get into like, a second-rate hotel, I mean, a second-rate motel, you dig? They think we're gonna cut their throat or somethin'. They're scared, man.
George: They're not scared of you. They're scared of what you represent to 'em.
Billy: Hey, man. All we represent to them, man, is somebody who needs a haircut.
George Hanson: Oh, no. What you represent to them is freedom.
Billy: What the hell is wrong with freedom? That's what it's all about.
George: Oh, yeah, that's right. That's what's it's all about, all right. But talkin' about it and bein' it, that's two different things. I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. Of course, don't ever tell anybody that they're not free, 'cause then they're gonna get real busy killin' and maimin' to prove to you that they are. Oh, yeah, they're gonna talk to you, and talk to you, and talk to you about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em.
Billy: Well, it don't make 'em runnin' scared.
George: No, it makes 'em dangerous. Buh, neh! Neh! Neh! Neh! Swamp!
-JNic & DHopp, Easy Rider
"They sold you hippies grunge, hip hop, now liberty activism."
Ritt, I bet you're a shit ton of fun to hang out with. You'd probably mock me without me realizing it until later, but still, I could see me having a beer with you.
Awesome thread idea, Z!!!!
The Seventh Seal
Faith is a torment. It is like loving someone who is out there in the darkness but never appears, no matter how loudly you call.
I want to confess as best I can, but my heart is void. The void is a mirror. I see my face and feel loathing and horror. My indifference to men has shut me out. I live now in a world of ghosts, a prisoner in my dreams.
Casper
Can I keep you?
Meet Joe Black
Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived.
Gattaca
You want to know how I did it? This is how I did it, Anton: I never saved anything for the swim back.
For someone who was never meant for this world, I must confess I'm suddenly having a hard time leaving it. Of course, they say every atom in our bodies was once part of a star. Maybe I'm not leaving... maybe I'm going home.
Great Expectations
Don't you understand that everything I do, I do it for you? Anything that might be special in me, is you.
"...you want to be truly unselfish? Love someone or die for someone. Those are the only good deeds you can perform without any hope of personal gain."

Slevin: Yes.
Man, i love that movie. So god damn clever all the time.
Some mores:
Slevin: I'm sorry, who are you?
The Boss: I'm The Boss.
Slevin: I thought he was The Boss.
The Boss: Why? Do we look alike? So you were gonna tell me something?
Slevin: I don't know, you brought me here.
The Boss: Yes. But back when you thought I was him.
Slevin: I didn't think you were him, I thought he was you. And I was trying to tell him - you that you picked up the wrong guy.
The Boss: The wrong guy for what?
Slevin: Whatever it is you wanna see me about.
The Boss: Do you know what I wanna see you about?
Slevin: No.
The Boss: Then how do you know I got the wrong guy?
Slevin: Cause I'm not...
The Boss: Maybe I want to give you $96,000. In that case do I still have the wrong guy?
Slevin: Do you wanna give me $96,000?
The Boss: No, do you wanna give me $96,000?
Slevin: No, should I?
The Boss: I don't know, should you?
Slevin: I don't know, should I?
The Boss: [pause] Long story - short.
Slevin: I think we're well passed that.
The Boss: I bet it was that mouth that got you that nose.
Slevin: Okay, I'm under the impression that you're under the impression that I owe you $96,000...?
The Boss: No, you owe Slim Hopkins $96,000. You owe Slim, Slim owes me. You owe me.
Nick: Fuck. Shit. Jesus.
Mr. Goodkat: 'Fuck, Shit, Jesus' is right
The Boss: [shows Slevin the body of Slim in his freezer] Hey, Slim! You know this cat? Slim!
[turns to Slevin]
The Boss: No use. Ever since somebody shot him, old Slim went deaf.
Slevin: What happened to make Slim go deaf?
The Boss: Why?
Slevin: Well, because I owe you $96,000, and I may have a slight problem coming up with the money.
The Boss: Oh, okay. Well, why don't we just make it an even 90?
Slevin: I... may have exaggerated the slightness.
The Rabbi: My father used to say: "The first time someone calls you a horse you punch him on the nose, the second time someone calls you a horse you call him a jerk but the third time someone calls you a horse, well then perhaps it's time to go shopping for a saddle."
The Maltese Falcon is full of great lines:
Brigid O'Shaughnessy: I haven't lived a good life. I've been bad, worse than you could know.
Sam Spade: You know, that's good, because if you actually were as innocent as you pretend to be, we'd never get anywhere.
---
Spade: We didn't exactly believe your story, Miss O'Shaughnessy. We believed your 200 dollars. I mean, you paid us more than if you had been telling us the truth, and enough more to make it all right
---
Sam Spade: When you're slapped, you'll take it and like it
---
Joel Cairo: You always have a very smooth explanation...
Sam Spade: What do you want me to do, learn to stutter?
what about:
Brikowski: Who are you?
Slevin: Philosophically speaking?
Brikowski: Name.
Slevin: Rank, serial number?
Dumbrowski: You should really play ball kid.
Slevin: Really? You think I'm tall enough?
Brikowski: [hits Slevin in stomach]
That part made me laugh for like 5 minutes.
I think i'm gonna watch that tonight now.
I think I'm gonna watch it for the first time ever now (tonight).
Casablanca has loads of good ones, too.
Woman: What makes saloonkeepers so snobbish?
Banker: Perhaps if you told him I ran the second largest banking house in Amsterdam.
Carl: Second largest? That wouldn't impress Rick. The leading banker in Amsterdam is now the pastry chef in our kitchen.
Banker: We have something to look forward to.
Berger: We read five times that you were killed, in five different places.
Victor Laszlo: As you can see, it was true every single time.
Annina: Monsieur Rick, what kind of a man is Captain Renault?
Rick: Oh, he's just like any other man, only more so.
Major Strasser: You give him credit for too much cleverness. My impression was that he's just another blundering American.
Captain Renault: We musn't underestimate "American blundering". I was with them when they "blundered" into Berlin in 1918.
Major Strasser: Are you one of those people who cannot imagine the Germans in their beloved Paris?
Rick: It's not particularly my beloved Paris.
Heinz: Can you imagine us in London?
Rick: When you get there, ask me!
Captain Renault: Hmmh! Diplomatist!
Major Strasser: How about New York?
Rick: Well there are certain sections of New York, Major, that I wouldn't advise you to try to invade.
Ugarte: You despise me, don't you?
Rick: If I gave you any thought I probably would.
Yvonne: Where were you last night?
Rick: That's so long ago, I don't remember.
Yvonne: Will I see you tonight?
Rick: I never make plans that far ahead.
Captain Renault: What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?
Rick: My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters.
Captain Renault: The waters? What waters? We're in the desert.
Rick: I was misinformed.
Major Strasser: What is your nationality?
Rick: I'm a drunkard.
Captain Renault: That makes Rick a citizen of the world.
Major Strasser: We have a complete dossier on you: Richard Blaine, American, age 37. Cannot return to his country. The reason is a little vague. We also know what you did in Paris, Mr. Blaine, and also we know why you left Paris.
[hands the dossier to Rick]
Major Strasser: Don't worry, we are not going to broadcast it.
Rick: [reading] Are my eyes really brown?
Rick: I don't want to shoot you, but I will if you take one more step!
Captain Renault: [With amusement] Under the circumstances I will sit down.
Rick: How can you close me up? On what grounds?
Captain Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
[a croupier hands Renault a pile of money]
Croupier: Your winnings, sir.
Captain Renault: Oh, thank you very much.
Ugarte: Too bad about those two German couriers, wasn't it?
Rick: They got a lucky break. Yesterday they were just two German clerks. Today they're the "Honored Dead".
Ugarte: You are a very cynical person, Rick, if you'll forgive me for saying so.
Rick: [shortly] I forgive you.
Hoodlum: Got a cigarette?
Slevin: Sorry, I don't smoke.
Hoodlum: That's okay, I'll just buy my own. {robs him}
You sure you haven't had a few already?

My next post in here was gonna be Casablanca. I love that movie. So quotable. Good choice!
It's not from a TV show, but an interview. One of my favourite lines ever was from Tom Waits, who said a little while ago:
A Gentleman is a man who can play the accordian, but doesn't.

If anyone else watched the show My So-Called Life, I'm sure they remember the end where Brian writes a letter to Angela like it's from Jordan? Awww....so sweet.
Dear Angela, I know in the past I've caused you pain and I'm sorry. And I'll always be sorry 'till the day I die. And I hate this pen I'm holding because I should be holding you. I hate this paper under my hand because it isn't you. I even hate this letter because it's not the whole truth. Because the whole truth is so much more than a letter can even say. If you want to hate me, go ahead. If you want to burn this letter, do it. You could burn the whole world down; you could tell me to go to hell. I'd go, if you wanted me to. And I'd send you a letter from there. Sincerely, Jordan Catalano

Rushmore
I saved Latin. What did you ever do?
That one is pretty great.
"I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... and then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... You will someday."

What in the wide wide world of sports is a-goin' on here? I hired you people to try to get a little track laid, not to jump around like a bunch of Kansas City faggots.
You see in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.
You see, no one's going to help you Bubby, because there isn't anybody out there to do it. No one. We're all just complicated arrangements of atoms and subatomic particles — we don't live. But our atoms do move about in such a way as to give us identity and consciousness. We don't die; our atoms just rearrange themselves. There is no God. There can be no God; it's ridiculous to think in terms of a superior being. An inferior being, maybe, because we, we who don't even exist, we arrange our lives with more order and harmony than God ever arranged the earth. We measure; we plot; we create wonderful new things. We are the architects of our own existence. What a lunatic concept to bow down before a God who slaughters millions of innocent children, slowly and agonizingly starves them to death, beats them, tortures them, rejects them. What folly to even think that we should not insult such a God, damn him, think him out of existence. It is our duty to think God out of existence. It is our duty to insult him. Fuck you, God! Strike me down if you dare, you tyrant, you non-existent fraud! It is the duty of all human beings to think God out of existence. Then we have a future. Because then — and only then — do we take full responsibility for who we are. And that's what you must do, Bubby: think God out of existence; take responsibility for who you are.

I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don't know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip.

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.

I have to return some videotapes.
-American Psycho.
I can't relate to 99% of humanity.
-Ghost World.
It was the greatest feeling I ever had. Followed abruptly by the worst feeling I ever had.

Life passes most people by while they're making grand plans for it.
-Blow.
The fool looks at a finger that points at the sky.

At least you'll never be a vegetable - even artichokes have hearts.

What I have shown you is reality. What you remember... that is the illusion.
From Munich:
Papa: "Let me see your hands. [he grabs Avner's hands and compares them to his own] Too big for a good cook. That was my problem too! I had been a master, but I have thick, stupid butcher's hands just like yours. Oh, we are tragic men. Butcher's hands, gentle souls."
One of my absolute favorite lines.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
from silence of the lambs:
Clarice Starling: Frederica used to work for Mrs. Lippman. Did you know her?
Jame "Buffalo Bill" Gumb: No, nuh-uh. Oh wait... was she a great big fat person?
I laugh out loud at that part every time.
from the Paul Newman classic, Slapshot:
Reggie Dunlop: You know, your son looks like a fag to me.
Anita McCambridge: I beg your pardon?
Reggie Dunlop: You better get re-married again, or he's gonna have someone's cock in his mouth before you can say Jack Robinson.
Anita McCambridge: How dare you! How dare you!
