(driving away from police in car with startled teenager)

Teenager: Are you a cop?

Fletch: As far as you know.

Teenager: Are you gonna take me to jail for car theft?

Fletch: Why? Did you steal the car?

Teenager: I sure did.

Fletch: Well, I'm not even sure that's a crime anymore. There've been a lot of changes in the law.

"If you can use me again some time, call this number."

"Day and night?"

From Mr. Smith Goes to Washington: "And you know that you fight for the lost causes harder than for any others. Yes, you even die for them"

Because I have found myself believing in more than one lost cause.

And from The Princess Bride: "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Oddly I have no positive connection to my dad, but I do have an overdeveloped sense of vengeance.

From It's a Wonderful Life: "He's making violent love to me Mother."

Because I like women who are as feisty as Mary Hatch was.

153. Oooh I love that scene and line from "The Town".
Sun Nov 10, 2013, 03:47 PM
Nov 2013

What I love about that is, who wouldn't want to have a friend who, if you told them you needed to fuck some people up, no questions asked about why, they're you're wing man automatically? Of course it's partly because the Renner character is a thrill seeking violence loving jerk, but still...

What I liked about "The Town" is that while the Renner character was in large part the stereotypical "off the rails" member of a crime crew who winds up blowing everything up and getting everyone arrested or killed, he did display real loyalty and was owed a certain amount of loyalty by Affleck and the others. To a point (which he crossed of course). That made it a little more complex than the usual "fuckup gangster who ruins everything" character.

Ben Affleck also had some good lines as the villainous head of a shady stockbroker firm in "The Boiler Room" essentially reprising Alec Baldwin's role from "Glengarry Glen Ross". The guy has kind of limited range but is really strong in the right roles, and as a director he's aces in my opinion.

"So throw another log on the fire, Reverend"

Kathleen Turner had another great part in "Crimes of Passion", with lines like above.

Also:

"A reverend tried to save me once. So I chased him all the way around the church until I caught him by the organ".

(While playing stewardess): "I'll be there to unbuckle your belt and watch that big bird rise and rise... And while we may run out of Pan Am coffee, we never run out of TWA tea".

Early this afternoon I gave you money... while I was having my shoes polished I gave you MORE money... now you put the bite on me again. Do me a favor, will ya? Go occasionally to somebody else - it's beginning to get tiresome.

Ah, excuse me, mister, I never knowed it was you. I never looked at your face - I just looked at your hands and the money you gave me. Beg pardon, mister, I promise I'll never put the bite on you again.

American in Tampico in white suit: [gives him a peso] This is the very last you get from me. Just to make sure you don't forget your promise, here's another peso.
[puts another peso in Dobbs' hand]
Fred C. Dobbs: Thanks, mister. Thanks.

American in Tampico in white suit: But from now on, you'll have to make your way through life without my assistance.

"Treasure of the Sierre Madre" (1948)

Followed closely by:
Fred C. Dobbs: What a town. Tampico.

Bob Curtin: You said it, brother. If I could just get me a job that would bring in enough to buy passage, I'd shake it's dust off my feet soon enough, you bet.


(Try reciting Curtin's line quickly several times!)

girlfriend, now my wife, to this movie. She complained and whined all the way thorough the previews about how many chick flicks she was going to make me watch.

15 minutes in she shut up and 40 minutes in she was laughing harder than I was. Now it's one of her favorite movies, Tony Shalouub won her over.

I absolutely love this movie.

Many people know the line, far fewer know the poem. So I'll break the rules and include it, even though it isn't a movie line:

Not being a poet, and drunk as well,
leaning into the diner and dawn
and hearing a juke box mockery of some better
human sound
I wanted rhetoric
but could only howl the rotten truth
Norman Luboff
should have his nuts ripped off with a plastic fork.
Then howled around like a man with the
final angst,
not knowing what I wanted there
Probably the waitress, bend her double
like a safety pin,
Deposit the mad seed before they
tie off my tubes
. . .

Suddenly a man with wild eyes rushed
out from the wooden toilet
Foam on his face and waving a razor
like a flag, shouting
. . .
We'll take our vengeance now!
. . .

We rang for Luboff
on the pay phone, but there was
no contact
. . .

Get a Lawyer, I said. These swine have gone
far enough.
Now is the time to
lay a writ on them,
Cease and Desist
. . .

The legal man agreed
We had a case and indeed a duty to
Right these Wrongs, as it were
The Price would be four thousand in front and
ten for the nut.
I wrote him a check on the Sawtooth
National Bank,
but he hooted at it
While rubbing a special oil on
his palms
To keep the chancres from itching
beyond endurance
On this Sabbath.
. . .
Later, from jail
I sent a brace of telegrams
to the right people,
explaining my position.

Peter Venkman: What?
Spengler: Don't cross the streams.
Venkman: Why?
Spengler: It would be bad.
Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad"?
Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Ray Stantz: Total protonic reversal.
Venkman: Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.
