"Arkellian battle rules kid. First we get an ultimatum then a warning shot and then we get a galactic standard week to respond."
"A galactic standard week? How the hell long is that?"
"One hour."
MIB 3 is great too if you haven't seen it.
"OK so you know how your kid won that goldfish in the baggy at the school fair and you didn't want that nasty thing in your house so you told your kid that it ran away but what you really did was flush it down the toilet? This is what happens. Don't lie to your kids."

And you hung in with the best college football team in the land for two years. And you're also gonna walk outta here with a degree from the University of Notre Dame. In this lifetime, you don't have to prove nothin' to nobody - except yourself. And after what you've gone through, if you haven't done that by now, it ain't gonna never happen.

(13,447 posts)Phil Cooper: I'm saying you've already done plenty of things to regret, you just don't know what they are. It's when you discover them, when you see the folly in something you've done, and you wish that you had it do over, but you know you can't, because it's too late. So you pick that thing up, and carry it with you to remind you that life goes on, the world will spin without you, you really don't matter in the end. Then you will gain character, because honesty will reach out from inside and tattoo itself across your face.

(13,447 posts)Basically a three man play with Kevin Spacey, Danny DeVito (who plays Phil Cooper), and Peter Facinelli. They play three sales reps at a business conference trying to get an important businessman (the big kahuna) to buy their products. Pretty much the entire movie takes place inside their hotel suite and there's a ton of introspective dialogue.

(59,305 posts)that I use in daily life. Some of them are rather stupid lines, but they resonate with me.
"Fuck, even in the future nothing works!"-Spaceballs
"Its megamaid sir, she's gone from suck to blow"-Spaceballs
"He is Conan, Cimmerian, he won't cry, so I cry for him."-Conan the Barbarian(arnie version)
"Pink...uh sorry Miss Lane didn't mean to embarass you"-Superman the Movie
"Otisburg?!?!?! OTISBURG!?!!!"-Superman the Movie
"I've got one question, in 27 parts"-Back to School
"I can't, I've got to return some videotapes"-American Psycho
"Now thats one big pile of shit"-Jurassic Park
There are a lot more than resonate with me, most of them goofy and stupid.
My favorite current one is my sigline, from the upcoming Man of Steel movie, its Jor-el talking to Kal as a baby....
VOX
(22,976 posts)As said by President Merkin Muffley (played by the great Peter Sellers) in the "Dr. Strangelove."
Other great lines from this classic:
"I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids." -- Base Commander Jack Ripper (Sterling Hayden)
"Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed, but I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops, uh, depending on the breaks." -- Gen. Buck Turgidson (George C. Scott)
More by Sellers as the title character:
"The whole point of the doomsday machine...is lost if you keep it a secret!"
"Sir! I have a plan... [stands from his wheelchair] Mein Führer, I can WALK!"
Great movie!
