Lines from ordinary media you'd like to steal/wish you'd thought of.

[TheRedChamber]

What are some lines from non-erotic books, films and tv shows that you'd totally use in your own stories were it not gross plagiarism.

Example: Cheers - Sam to Rebecca
"How about we strip down to our smiles and show the couch a good time."

 

[MrPixel]

When Harry Met Sally - "I'll have what she's having."

 

[TheRedChamber]

"I'll have what she's having."

Luckily that one's so famous it wouldn't be stealing - it'd be a tribute.

True. I use it in that sense in an upcoming story.

I think there were some useful zingers in M*A*S*H (movie and TV), but can't recall specifics.

Home of the Whopper -- stamped on his underwear!

 

[Agiel]

When Harry Met Sally - "I'll have what she's having."

One of those quiz questions, “who said…?”

Estelle Reiner, the mother of Rob Reiner the film’s director. Apart from being a fantastic line I’ve always thought what a great thing to do by having your 75 year old mother deliver it. Nepotism at its best.

From that great comedy film ConAir, “Why couldn’t you put the bunny back in the box?” A line which, with variations, could surely be fitted into a Lit story.

After all, many/most of the stories on this site are about people fucking like rabbits.

Anyone who's seen this classic comedy will remember these famous lines:

- Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

- We'll never survive.
Nonsense. You're only saying that because no one ever has.

- Life isn't fair, it's just fairer than death, that's all.

- You mean, you put down your rock and I put down my sword, and we kill each other like civilized people?

- You rush a miracle, you get rotten miracles.

- You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

- There's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world, it would be a pity to damage yours.

- Her heart was a secret garden and the walls were very high.


Love this movie, laugh at it every time.

Let's eat sushi and not pay. Repo Man.

Wherever you go, there you are. Buckaroo Banzai.

Come with me if you want to live. Terminator. Actually, I DID use that line in one of my stories. The context was significantly different.

What we've got is a failure to communicate. Cool Hand Luke.

Rollo Tomasi. LA Confidential.

Are you not entertained? Gladiator.

Say what the fuck. If you can't say it, you can't do it. Risky Business.

"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."
It fits so well in domination themed stories.

Some oldies from Annie Hall

- A relationship I think, is a lot like a shark. You know? It has to constantly move forward or it dies. And what I think we've got on our hands is a dead shark.

-It's all mental masturbation.
Oh, well, now we're finally getting to a subject you know something about.
Hey, don't knock masturbation. It's sex with someone I love.
