Movie Lines I Have Actually Used

[DearEmma]

In my latest story my girl has a gun pointed at a dude. And action . . .

“Do I look like I’m negotiating?” I said in my best George Clooney imitation because life is sometimes exactly like the movies. (from Michael Clayton)

Which got me thinking of the movie lines I have actually used.

Eg.

It's wafer thin. (from Monty Python's Meaning of Life)

Could be worse, could be raining. (from Young Frankenstein)

I'll be back. (from, yeah, that Terminator movie)

Fucking Bruges. (from In Bruges)

Put it on my tab. (from Dan in Real Life)

Dammit, Janet (from Rocky Horror Picture Show)

Well, here we are back in the car. But at least we're out of the tree. (from Jurassic Park)



What movie lines have you used in real life?

 

[trysail]

Good Idea.

-Tyler ( Charles Martin Smith )
"Never Cry Wolf"

A man's got to know his limitations.

-Harry Callaghan ( Clint Eastwood )
"Magnum Force"

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

It's a scientific fact that no one has ever said GO AHEAD, MAKE MY DAY in social conversation. I recently stole a Joe Pesci line from one of his movies to use in a story.

 

[TE999]

After many years I finally had the opportunity to use Leslie Nielsen's line in 'Airplane'.

The set up was in the course of a discussion with a friend about politics:

"Surely you can't mean that."

"I do mean it and don't call me Shirley."

We both burst out laughing.

Do quotes from porn movies count?

I have used so many thousands of movie lines I don't even know where to start. I have used lines from Airplane:
And don't call me Shirley.
It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether (with about as many different variations depending on the situation, sometimes resulting in the payoff from the peanut gallery).
I sure could use a little breather.
At least I have a husband.
I've got to concentrate... concentrate... concentrate... I've got to concentrate... concentrate... concentrate... Echo... echo... echo... Pinch hitting for Pedro Borbone, Manny Motta... motta... motta...
That's just what they'd expect us to do.
And Leon's getting Larrrrger.
The tower? The tower? Rapunzel! Rapunzel!
Where did you get that dress? It's awful! And that coat, and those shoes. Ew...

Oh hell, I have quoted half the movie in general conversations. Same with Airplane 2.
No tower sir, just a bridge.
Why the hell aren't I notified of these things?
The top dog, the head honcho, the big cheese!
Where am I going to find a piece of metal, here, in space, at this hour?
No, not a ba. A bomb!

And so on and so on. And then you have The Princess Bride.
Have fun storming the castle.
You are the brute squad (yes, this has come up in general conversation, with variations too).
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
As you wish.

Caddyshack gets quoted often enough as well.
Well? We're waiting.
Be the ball Danny.
You'll get nothing and like it! (I use that one all the damn time).

Christmas Vacation has a few that we use over and over.
You couldn't hear a garbage truck driving through a nitroglycerin plant.
We'll catch it in the coat, and hit it with a hammer!
If I had a rubber hose I would beat you so bad...

The other Vacation movies get quoted just as often.

And even movies like Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, with only two remember-able lines gets quoted often.
I'm right on top of that, Rose.
Liza?

What can I say? my family and friends are really stuffed to the gills with movie quotes. they come up often, and almost never fail to entertain.

 

[DearEmma]

I
And so on and so on. And then you have The Princess Bride.

Of course.

I am not left-handed.

From Cool Hand Luke-"What we have here is a failure to communicate". I say the rather regularly in the classroom.

Uh, no; its WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE. No 'a' in the line.

[englishman29]

without meaning to ive caught myself using a line from battlestar galactica...........frak.

Ive also use the classic line.........game over man, game over a couple of times.

 

[Handley_Page]

Uh, no; its WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE. No 'a' in the line.

strange how we all remember that differently:-

"What we have here, Luke, isa failure to communicate"

And with this one line, Strother Martin strolled into history.

And James yes, I know; I looked it up on Wiki, but its how I remember it. Of course not being a citizen of the US of A, I might have my accents all wrong.
