"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum"

"The first rule of fight club, you don't talk about fight club. The second rule of fight club, YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB!"

"A waffer thin mint Monsieur?"

"Sit down and shut up you big bald f@ck!"

(sorry if it this is already on here, couldn't be bothered to check)

Another couple of favourite from the same movie:

"Do you know what "nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible c@nt... me."

and one particularly relevant to some of the posters on this website:

"You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity."

We've had a line from I and III so we might as well go the full hog with one from II.



[iThere are many things my father taught me here in this room. He taught me: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.[/i

Opening lines from a beauty of a film just about to start on Film4.

[iOnce upon a time, there was a quiet little village in the French countryside whose people believed in Tranquilite - Tranquility. If you lived in this village, you understood what was expected of you. You knew your place in the scheme of things. And if you happened to forget, someone would help remind you. In this village, if you saw something you weren't supposed to see, you learned to look the other way. if perchance your hopes had been disappointed, you never learned to ask for more. So through good times and bad, famine and feast, the villagers held fast to their traditions. Until, one winter day, a sly wind blew in from the North......[/i

It's a Wonderful Life

Clarence: Your brother, Harry Bailey, broke through the ice and was drowned at the age of nine.

George Bailey: That's a lie! Harry Bailey went to war! He got the Congressional Medal of Honor! He saved the lives of every man on that transport!

Clarence: Every man on that transport died! Harry wasn't there to save them, because you weren't there to save Harry. You see George, you've really had a wonderful life. Don't you see what a mistake it would be to just throw it away?

Agree-cracking film.Here's another

Robert DeNiro and Charles Grodin's exchange in the train restaraunt carriage.

(Grodin first)

Mardukas : Why would you eat that?
Walsh : Why?Cos it taste's good
Mardukas : But it's not good for you
Walsh : I'm aware of that
Mardukas : Well why would you do something that you know is not good for you?
Walsh : Cos I don't think about it
Mardukas : Well that's living in denial
Walsh : Living in denial?
Mardukas : Yeh
Walsh : I'm aware of that
Mardukas : So your aware of all your behaviour yet continue to do things that aren't good for you,that sound's sort of foolish don't you think so Jack?
Walsh : No.Stealing $15,000,000 off Jimmy Serrano sound's foolish
Mardukas : I didn't think I'd get caught
Walsh : Now that's living in denial
Mardukas : I'm aware of that
Walsh : Oh so your aware of your behaviour and yet you continue to do things that aren't good for you,sound's kind of foolish to me don't you think so John?

The [ifistophobia[/i line from DeNiro is another classic.

Sometimes, I guess there just aren't enough rocks - Forrest Gump

Quit worrying. You'll be back on your knees in no time - As Good as It Gets

" Say hello to my little friend "

From the same film.

Wake up,time to die.

Travis Bickle: You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Then who the hell else are you talking... you talking to me? Well I'm the only one here. Who the do you think you're talking to? Oh yeah? OK.

Ben richards says,killian i'll be back.
Killian says,only in a re-run.

DENNIS:
Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing 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.
ARTHUR:
Be quiet!
DENNIS:
Well, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power
just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
ARTHUR:
Shut up!
DENNIS:
I mean, if I went 'round saying I was an emperor just because
some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me
away!
ARTHUR:
Shut up, will you? Shut up!
DENNIS:
Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system.
ARTHUR:
Shut up!
DENNIS:
Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help!
Help! I'm being repressed!

From the Evil Dead trilogy.

"Someone's in my fruit cellar! Someone with a fresh soooul!"

"Yo, she-bitch! Let's go!"

"Gimme some sugar, baby."

"Alright. Who wants some?"


From Brain Dead.

"Your mother ate my dog!" "Not all of it."

"I kick ass for the Lord!"


Phantasm.

"Boooy!"

"The funeral is about to begin... SIIIRRR!"

And of course a favorite of mine. So much so that features in my sig.

From the film They Live.

"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum."

Go and boil your bottoms, you sons of silly persons!


You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, you sons of a silly person. I blow my nose at you, so-called "Arthur King," you and all your silly English K-nig-hts.

I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries

The Departed
"Who are you?"
"I'm the guy who does his job, you must be the other guy!"

"When I was your age they would say we can become cops, or criminals. Today, what I'm saying to you is this: when you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?"

Marathon Man.

Christian Szell: Is it safe?... Is it safe?
Babe: You're talking to me?
Christian Szell: Is it safe?
Babe: Is what safe?
Christian Szell: Is it safe?
Babe: I don't know what you mean. I can't tell you something's safe or not, unless I know specifically what you're talking about.
Christian Szell: Is it safe?
Babe: Tell me what the "it" refers to.
Christian Szell: Is it safe?
Babe: Yes, it's safe, it's very safe, it's so safe you wouldn't believe it.
Christian Szell: Is it safe?
Babe: No. It's not safe, it's... very dangerous, be careful.

The Boys from Brazil. Two real favorites of mine.

Gertrud: [Mengele has just knocked Mundt to the floor Get a doctor!
Dr. Josef Mengele: I *am* a doctor, madam.
Gertrud: Don't you come near him!
Dr. Josef Mengele: Shut up, you ugly bitch.

Ezra Lieberman: Did you kill Wheelock?
Dr. Josef Mengele No, he's in the kitchen mixing us some cocktails!

"One day son, all of this will be yours" <sweeps hand across the castle window>
"What, the curtains ?"

[iIf your ever in Des Moines, don't send me a postcard.[/i

The chinaman is not the issue here, Dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude. Across this line, you DO NOT... Also, Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.

Obviously you're not a golfer.

What do you do for recreation
Oh, the usual. I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback.

Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish.

Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here!

I've had a rough night, and I hate the f****** Eagles, man

Seeing as I watched it yet again, last night.



The Thin Red Line.

[iThis great evil. Where does it come from? How'd it steal into the world? What seed, what root did it grow from? Who's doin' this? Who's killin' us? Robbing us of life and light. Mockin' us with the sight of what we might've known. Does our ruin benefit the earth? Does it help the grass to grow, the sun to shine? Is this darkness in you, too? Have you passed through this night? [/i

Arthur Jensen: You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale, and I won't have it! Is that clear? You think you've merely stopped a business deal. That is not the case! The Arabs have taken billions of dollars out of this country, and now they must put it back! It is ebb and flow, tidal gravity! It is ecological balance! You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels. It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today! And YOU have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and YOU... WILL... ATONE! Am I getting through to you, Mr. Beale? You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today. What do you think the Russians talk about in their councils of state, Karl Marx? They get out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, minimax solutions, and compute the price-cost probabilities of their transactions and investments, just like we do. We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime. And our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that... perfect world... in which there's no war or famine, oppression or brutality. One vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock. All necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused. And I have chosen you, Mr. Beale, to preach this evangel.
