Lines that stood out in a film

[by Devol]

I checked the other twelve pages if there might be a thread similar to this - hope I haven’t overlooked.

to whit:

"Why? Because it feels so goddamned good" - from “Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia”

"Trying is for losers. The winners get to take the prom queen home and fuck her" - from “The Rock”. The only thing I remember from the movie. I guess you had to hear the way Connery brogue'd it.

"You look much smaller on television, Mr. President" - from “Being There”

"Hist-o-ry", and then a minute later, "Game BALL" - from “The Longest Yard” (‘74)

"My parents never divorced, although I begged them to” - from “Play it Again, Sam”

"There's only one" - from “The Exorcist”

“THE YEAR IS ONE!” - from “Rosemary’s Baby”

"That Rabbit's DYNAMITE!" - from “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”

"Plastics" - from “The Graduate”

"Honey, I'm Home" - from “The Shining”

Big-spectacled dude’s spiel on feeding corpses to pigs in “Snatch”

"Have you ever seen a commie drink a glass of water?" - from “Dr. Strangelove”

"It isn't safe" - from “Marathon Man”

“I prefer to eat my fish with the head on” - from “Chinatown”


Sorry - you wear the goonybird hat if you mention “hasta la vista, baby”, “I’ll be back”, “they’re baaaa-ack” or “heeeeeeeeeere’s JOHNNY!”
Oh shit! I just mentioned them!
Ack!

"I like your watch Senor. Can I have it, when you are dead?" - small boy to one of the Three Amigos.

pretty much everything John Goodman says in that flick could go in this thread.

From "Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue"

Cop harrassing a hippie: "You're all the same, the lot of you, with your long hair and faggot clothes. Drugs, sex, every sort of filth. And you hate the police, don't you?"

Hippie: "You make it easy."

[by Devol]

from "Death Wish":

Charles (just before blowing buddy's head off): You believe in Jesus?

buddy: Yes.

Charles: You're about meet him.


from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest":

"But I'd really like to see the World Series"

and later on:

"Ya fooled'em all, Chief!"

edit:

from "Scenes From the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills":

a smitten Jackie Bisset: "....and he'll eat your box till your nose bleeds."

[Dominoes1992]

"You may take the risk, but I do the cutting" - Clint Eastwood in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

"There are two kinds of people in this world, those with guns and those with guns. I got the gun and you dig." Clint Eastwood, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

[TheDenizen]

"There are two kinds of people in this world, those with guns and those with guns. I got the gun and you dig." Clint Eastwood, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Isn't this line "There are two kinds of people in this world, those with loaded guns...and those who dig. You dig." ???

[ShogunRua]

My favorite Clint Eastwood character line (of many) is probably "Man's gotta know his limitations..."

"They died of natural causes...natural to their line of work." (No Country for Old Men)

"Friendo." (No Country for Old Men)

"He'll feel better after he's robbed a few banks." (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid)

[by Devol]

Another "Butch Cassidy...":

"I can't swim."

EDIT:

"...and I'll do anything you ask of me except one thing. I won't watch you die. I'll miss that scene if you don't mind." The way Katherine Ross says it - it always stops me up short every time, and it's because she has this incredibly powerful, measured, even tone that just cuts through any bullshit and delivers its understated George Foreman uppercut. I've seen her in two others - "The Graduate" and "The Stepford Wives", and the more I contemplate her the more I am floored at how quite awe-inspired I am by her.
