NFT: Best Line In A Movie

drama, etc.

I've always been a fan of "So I got that goin' for me...which is nice"

Homer, "The worst day if your life so far."

Recycled that line many a time.

Well now you got it!”

.....

"Well John wasn't exactly the Boogeyman. He was the one you sent to kill the fucking Boogeyman.

- Yoda, Empire Strikes Back

"I hope that I am always able to risk everything for the just and right cause"

- Edward Walker, The Village

"I'll have whatever she's having"

Prince John to Robin- "You speak treason"

Robin- "Fluently"

"All right now, I don't like violence, Mr. Wonderful whatever your name is. You better drop that blade, or you won't believe what happens next, even while it's happening."

"Okay, I'll make it as easy for you as I can," Dupea says. "I'd like an omelette - plain - and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast. No mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce. And a cup of coffee."

"A No. 2. Chicken sal san," the waitress repeats, exasperated, through clenched teeth. "Hold the butter, the lettuce, the mayonnaise. And a cup of coffee. Anything else?"

"Yeah. Now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a cheque for the chicken salad sandwich and you haven't broken any rules."


"You want me to hold the chicken, huh?"

"I want you to hold it between your knees," he says.

"Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!"

That line is from Five Easy Pieces, not Easy Rider.

"Red Will" Danaher: I'll count three, and if you're not out of the house by then, I'll loose the dogs on you.

Sean Thornton: If you say "three," mister, you'll never hear the man count "ten."

His therapy was going nowhere.

and I always have to drive.

“Memory is the selection of images, some elusive, others printed indelibly on the brain. The summer I killed my father, I was 10 years old.”

"Be a lot cooler if you did."

"I ain't got time to bleed."

- Jesse Ventura

Was it over,when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

bring the canolis

Sonny - “now yous can’t leave”

Randall Flagg:
Stop it. Stop laughing at me!

Glen Bateman:
Sorry! It's just that… it's just that we made such… such a business of you, and it turns out you're nothing more than another cockroach, scurrying around, running little roach errands! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

"Yippie Ki Yay Motherfucker"

from time to time and always in a respectful manner, to question my logic. If you're unconvinced a particular plan of action I've decided is the wisest, tell me so! But allow me to convince you. And I promise you, right here and now, no subject will ever be taboo … except, of course, the subject that was just under discussion. The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or American heritage as a negative is – I collect your fucking head. [Holds up Tanaka's head] Just like this fucker here. Now, if any of you sons of bitches got anything else to say, now's the fucking time! [Pause] I didn't think so.

"a line" but:

Quote:

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you're looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money... but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that will be the end of it - I will not look for you, I will not pursue you... but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you... and I will kill you.

There were a few good lines in Magnificent Seven.
But James Coburn summed it up when he said.....

"Nobody throws me my own guns and says run. Nobody."

You broke my heart, you broke my heart.

If we are going beyond just "lines", my favorite statement in a movie has to be Joe Pesci's (Nicky) in Casino. When he tells the banker to get him his money back.

"For instance, I'll wake up tomorrow morning nice and early ill take a walk over to the bank, walk in and see ya and uh..if you don't have my money for me Ill crack your fucking head wide open in front of everybody in the bank."

Thanks. I got the "easy" part right, just messed up the hard part :)

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women!

"Our survival hinges on one thing - finding someone who not only can fly this plane, but didn't have fish for dinner."

And...

"I picked the wrong week to give up smoking."

I'll be back....

Or From : Outlaw Josey Wales, talking to a bounty hunter

BH: Wales, you're wanted

JW: You a bounty hunter

BH: Man's got to do something for a livin'

JW: Dying ain't much of a livin.....

Eat it

pick one.

"Alright you primitive screwheads, listen up! You see this? This is my BOOMSTICK!"

but at least it's an ethos.

... your rent's due, motherf***ker! And don't be pulling that falling down the stairs shit on me, you hear! I know you conscious!

Larry Talbot : Last night I went through another one of my horrible experiences. Many years ago I was bitten by a werewolf. Now, whenever the full moon rises I turn into a wolf myself.
Lou Costello : That’s alright; I’m a bit of a wolf myself!
Larry Talbot : You don’t understand. Every night when the moon is full, I turn into a wolf.
Lou Costello : You and twenty million other guys!

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein

"Waiter, will you serve the nuts? I mean, will you serve the guests the nuts?"

Chet to Connie his wife " Have you seen my ass lately?"

Connie: " No not recently"

Chet: "Well I'll be picking splinters out of it for the rest of my life"

That first line cracks me up every time I hear it or think of it.
