One on the top of my head: <br /><br />Billy Clanton: Why, it's the drunk piano player. You're so drunk, you can't hit nothin'. In fact, you're probably seeing double. <br />Doc Holliday: [takes out a second gun] I have two guns, one for each of ya.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476174860119487509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-30343336178994789882010-10-17T02:20:25.810-04:002010-10-17T02:20:25.810-04:00Rick, for some reason AT&T hasn't turned o...Rick, for some reason AT&T hasn't turned off my internet yet! Good, because this is a GREAT post. My favorite quote from one you all have mentioned, All About Eve, is when the writer turns to Margot and says "It's about time the piano realizes it has not written the concerto." Love it.<br />And of course, one from Mr. Flynn in Robin Hood: Sheriff: Your majesty, he speaks treason!" Flynn: "Fluently."<br />I'll be turned off anytime now, but I'll still come and visit when I can!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-12959743777995547942010-10-16T16:17:30.803-04:002010-10-16T16:17:30.803-04:00Paul and JoAnn, thanks for joining in and providin...Paul and JoAnn, thanks for joining in and providing those classic quotes. Earlier today, I thought of some Bette Davis favorites. In OF HUMAN BONDAGE, she tells nice Leslie Howard: "Every time I kissed you, I wiped my mouth!" In CABIN IN THE COTTON, she flirts with this line: "I'd like to kiss you, but I just washed my hair." (Bugs Bunny repeats this quote, complete with Bette Davis lips in a WB cartoon).Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-21594032237907513492010-10-16T13:09:26.854-04:002010-10-16T13:09:26.854-04:00Oops! should have included:

You won't even get a chance to talk."<br /><br />Margo Channing to Lloyd Richards: "All playwrights should be dead for three hundred years!"<br /><br />Birdie Coonan to Margo, referring to Eve: "I'll tell ya how, like, like she's studyin' you, like you was a play or a book or a set of blueprints. How you walk, talk, eat, think, sleep."<br /><br />Bill Sampson to Eve: "Don't cry. Just score it as an incomplete forward pass."JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04506998760851891610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-24038997653816432002010-10-15T23:53:05.127-04:002010-10-15T23:53:05.127-04:00Oops, I did miss a famous quote from one my favori...Oops, I did miss a famous quote from one my favorite movies. It is a shame but that quote won't be so famous in the future. The kids today will watch the Star Wars movies in order. They will know that Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader is Luke's and Leia's father in STAR WARS EPISODE III REVENGE OF THE SITH. The latter is an awesome movie especially the lightsaber battle between Anakin and Obi-Wan!!

Princess Leia recording a message for Obi-Wan in R2D2.."Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope." Hey, who doesn't know that one, right? Then when Han Solo tells C-3PO to that it is best not to make a Wookie mad over a game. C-3PO wants to know why not? Solo reminds him that Wookies have been known to pull people's arms off. C-3PO suggest to R2D2, "let the Wookie win." Obi-Wan to Luke, "The Force will be with You, always." Han who is tired of Princess Leia bossing him says, "Look, Your Worshipfulness, let's get one thing straight. I take orders from just one person: me!" "It's a wonder you're still alive," Leia quips back. Stormtrooper to Obi-Wan, "Let me see your identification papers." Obi-Wan with a slight wave of his hand replies, "You don't need to see his identification." The Stormtrooper, says after the wave of the hand using the Force, "We don't need to see his identification." I have always wanted to use the Force that way!! Star Wars IV: The New Hope is full of famous movie quotes. Rick, I enjoyed the movie quotes, and May the Force be with you.Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037507780056714337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-40539152540333812562010-10-15T18:13:20.966-04:002010-10-15T18:13:20.966-04:00The quotes in these comments are delightful!

A quote I use when preparing employees to take one for the team comes from STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN, where Kirk finishes the apparently dying Spock's sentence: "The needs of the many outweigh...the needs of the few." As for silly memorable quotes, I can't believe terryleebrown doesn't list Donald Sutherland's classic from FELLINI'S CASANOVA: "I want my macaroni!"Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-8483399168165711602010-10-15T17:18:21.238-04:002010-10-15T17:18:21.238-04:00oooh! so many good lines.

"Good." exchange. <br /><br />Half the dialog in <i>The Flight of the Phoenix</i> is wonderfully quotable. I think my favorite quote is a toss-up between "You behave as if stupidity were a virtue" and "Is that meters or yards, Mr. Dorfmann?"<br /><br />But the movie most quoted in my house is <i>The Dirty Dozen</i>. I think my sister and I have 90% of that movie memorized, and we're always quoting one part or another. Nearly impossible to pick a favorite quote from it without launching into whole scenes.DKorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819702518388146971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-52850780346919529002010-10-15T09:48:00.619-04:002010-10-15T09:48:00.619-04:00From HIGH ANXIETY: "Dinner is served promptly...From HIGH ANXIETY: "Dinner is served promptly at eight in the private dining room.
