I just love this one, from Kentucky fried movie:
‘I live ze unknown, I love ze unknown, I am ze unknown.’
‘Claude, where are you living now?’
‘Zat… is unknown. I don’t know.’
(and this one)
‘This is Buttkiss, Klahn’s bodyguard - he is tough and ruthless. This is Kwong, Klahn’s chauffeur - he is rough and toothless.’
One of my latest favorite movie quotes is from Amélie, the ‘Glass Man’ is speaking:
“So, my little Amélie, you don’t have bones of glass. You can take life’s knocks. If you let this chance pass, eventually, your heart will become as dry and brittle as my skeleton.”
Although I really don’t know what it means, there’s a great scene in Boogie Nights in which a drug-crazed guy played by Alfred Molina, chases and fires a shotgun at 3 characters who try to rip him off. He laughs, cocks the shotgun, and says
Inigo Montoya: That Vizzini, he can fuss.
Fezzik: Fuss, fuss… I think he like to scream at us.
Inigo Montoya: Probably he means no harm.
Fezzik: He’s really very short on charm.
Inigo Montoya: You have a great gift for rhyme.
Fezzik: Yes, yes, some of the time.
Vizzini: Enough of that.
Inigo Montoya: Fezzik, are there rocks ahead?
Fezzik: If there are, we all be dead.
Vizzini: No more rhymes now, I mean it.
Fezzik: Anybody want a peanut?
Vizzini: DYEEAAHHHHHH.
And
Inigo Montoya: You are sure nobody’s follow’ us?
Vizzini: As I told you, it would be absolutely, totally, and in all other ways inconceivable. No one in Guilder knows what we’ve done, and no one in Florin could have gotten here so fast. - Out of curiosity, why do you ask?
Inigo Montoya: No reason. It’s only… I just happened to look behind us and something is there.
Vizzini: What? Probably some local fisherman, out for a pleasure cruise, at night… in… eel-infested waters…
Vizzini: INCONCEIVABLE.
[In the boat in the morning]
Inigo Montoya: He’s right on top of us. I wonder if he is using the same wind we are using.
[Vizzini has just cut the rope The Dread Pirate Roberts is climbing up]
Vizzini: HE DIDN’T FALL? INCONCEIVABLE.
Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
One of my favorite quotes is from the old Robin of Sherwood TV series, when Friar Tuck said, “Pacts with the devil aren’t legally binding.”
Another favorite: “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” – Mandy Patinkin as Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride.
Cheers,
John
(Edited to note that I shouldn’t take so long to write my posts, since someone else beat me to the Inigo Montoya quote.)
"Magic is the bloodstream of the universe. Forget all you know…or think you know. All that you require is your intuition. Now, the power to control the world is in which finger? "
And of course, while I’m in a magical frame of mind (well, when am I not?), Practical Magic:
Sally: All I want is a normal life. Aunt Frances: My darling girl, when are you going to understand that being normal is not necessarily a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of caracter.
One of my favorite quotes is from Raiders of the Lost Ark, when Indy and Marcus are talking to the guys from Army Intelligence about what the ark is. Indy shows the guys a picture of the ark, and one of them exclaims, “Good God!” and Marcus says, “Yes, that’s what the Hebrews thought.”
Another favorite is actually a line from one of the songs in Mary Poppins. In the “Sister Suffragette” song, there is a line: “Although we adore men individually, we agree that as a group they’re rather stupid.”
