"I will not tolerate rudeness in the presence of a star--two stars."

Needs visuals.

That whole speech Hoskins does (in one unbroken shot?) about Colin is fantastic. As good as anyone.

piscesx, Sunday, 1 March 2020 00:20 (five years ago)

Quite fond of “Ask me things, please” in Carol.
Pretty useless without the visual though.

"The world belongs to the meat-eaters, and if you have to take it raw, take it raw."

Lily Dale, Sunday, 1 March 2020 00:47 (five years ago)

neither of my responses was serious, but right now the only movie line I can think of that's a serious contender is Robert Mitchum in Out of the Past saying, "Baby, I don't care." Probably still not my actual answer.

Lily Dale, Sunday, 1 March 2020 00:53 (five years ago)

the real treasure is the lines you relish along the way imo

,"Just so you know, he tried to impress me with a loud fart once. He put his legs behind his head and shouted, "Someone's cutting the cheese." Instead of just gas, a big glob of turd flew out of his butt like a rocket. It did a loop-the-loop near the wall and landed on the bed. So if anyone's a bed crapper around here, it's him."

Mr. Snrub, Tuesday, 3 March 2020 07:11 (five years ago)

no bad lines in the lady from shanghai, so here's a selection and be thankful i didn't just C&P the whole script:

Michael O'Hara: Maybe I'll live so long that I'll forget her. Maybe I'll die trying.

Michael O'Hara: When I start out to make a fool of myself, there's very little can stop me. If I'd known where it would end, I'd never let anything start... if I'd been in my right mind, that is. But once I'd seen her, once I'd seen her, I was not in my right mind for quite some time.

George Grisby: What's your guess, Michael? You think the world's coming to an end?
Michael O'Hara: Well, there was a start to the world sometime -- so I guess there'll be a stop.

Michael O'Hara: That's how I found her and from that moment I did not use my head, except to think about her.

Michael O'Hara: New York is not as big a city as it pretends to be.

Michael O'Hara: There's a fair face to the land, but, you can't hide the hunger and guilt. It's a bright, guilty world.

Michael O'Hara: The only way to stay out of trouble is to grow old, so I guess I'll concentrate on that.

Arthur Bannister: You hear that George? You've just been called a shark. If you were a good lawyer you'd take it as a compliment.

'Goldie' Goldfish: What's the Spanish for drunken bum?

Arthur Bannister: George, that's the first time anyone ever thought enough of you to call you a shark. If you were a good lawyer, you'd be flattered.

Michael O'Hara: *voiceover* He was exactly as helpless as a sleeping rattlesnake.

Michael O'Hara: *voiceover* It's clear now, I was chasin' a married woman. But, that's not the way I wanted to look at it. No. To be a real prize fat-head, like Mike O'Hara, you've got to swallow whole all the lies you can think up to tell yourself.

Michael O'Hara: I never make up my mind about anything at all, until it's over and done with.

Mrs. Elsa 'Rosalie' Bannister: I don't have to listen to you talk like that.
Arthur Bannister: Oh, yes, you do, lover.

George Grisby: Commit suicide? Me? Don't be silly. Suicide is against the law. We're not going to break the law. This is going to be murder and it's going to be legal.

George Grisby: There's no such a thing as homicide, unless they find corpse. It just isn't murder if they don't find a body. According to the law, I'm dead, if, you say you murdered me. But you're not a murderer, unless I'm dead. Silly, isn't it?

mark s, Tuesday, 3 March 2020 10:32 (five years ago)

and this is not even including the popular classics:

J. Frank Parnell: Ra-di-a-tion. Yes, indeed. You hear the most outrageous lies about it. Half-baked goggle-box do-gooders telling everybody it's bad for you. Pernicious nonsense. Everybody could stand a hundred chest X-rays a year.

Mr. Humphries: It's been brought to my attention that you're not paying attention to the way you space the cans.

Leila: You SHITHEAD! I'm glad I tortured you!

Miller: The more you drive, the less intelligent you are
