An annoying Quote habit I've gotten into. (1 Viewer)

[Kirk Gunn]

My favorite to those that covet Bose:

"A little knowledge is a dangerous thing...."

A little learning is a dangerous thing: Drink deep, or touch not the Pierian spring:

There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,

And drinking largely sobers us again. --A Pope

 

[Randy Tennison]

Ok, I'm a true movie geek. Here are a few of my favorites:
"What in the Wild Wild World of Sports is going on?" -- Blazing Saddles
"Whud I ever do to you?" Little Shop of Horrors
"Can I borrow your towel. My car just hit a water buffalo" -- Fletch
"A man's gotta know his limitations" - The Enforcer
"As Far As You Know" -- Fletch
"Were working on a case . . . of whiskey!" -- Lethal Weapon
"Well, I guess Sonja Henne is out" -- Caddyshack
"I eat a lot of aggression, and a lot of Pizzas" -- Stripes
"Yeah, I'll bet he works out" -- Dumb and Dumber
"Whooooooooook!" -- Fletch
"Uhhh, huh huh huh. Shut Up! " Beavis and Butthead
and many more too numerous to mention

It's funny you mention Fletch.

A lot of times when someone asks me a yes or no question, I say "sometimes yes, sometimes no, the maid usually forgets" It's when Fletch asks the guy if the doors are usually unlocked, when he wants to him to break in and kill him.

It's complete throw-away line, it's not funny and no one ever knows it when I say.

I just do it to amuse myself.

Whenever there is a storm and the cable or phone goes down, I give the old Phantom Menace quote...

"A communication's disruption can only mean one thing... invasion."

 

[HenrikTull]

Me and my friend will always say: "Damn you for forcing me into this position" for some strange reason during a conversation.

The Rock, Ed Harris.

Only two

"Make it 300 yards, motherf*@ker, and we'll have ourselves an automobile race." - Twolane Blacktop

"English motherf*@ker do you speak it?"

 

[Trey Fletcher]

In regards to Fletch. I've lost count of how many times my friends and I have said told a waiter/waitress to put it "on the Underhill account." Few get the reference.

hehe, my wifes sister is well endowed, and the running joke with us is "wait a minute, those are two pillows!" from planes trains and automobiles

and my other friend and I constantly throw around the star wars/spaceballs/ferris bueller quotes

anyone? anyone?

 

[ollie_k]

oops, correction

"wait a minute, those arent two pillows1"

 

[Michael Caicedo]

"Damm, we're in a tight spot!!" and
"the acco, accom, - the fellow who plays the gee-tar" and "He is bona-fide, what are you?"
from "O Brother Where Art Thou"

 

[Ashley Seymour]

Great lines!

My wife was at a meeting around suppertime and my 19 year old son, hay burner, was hungry. He looked over at me and said "Feed me, feed me Seymour, FEED ME!"

When one of my employees comes to me and camplains that a client is being obstinate and won't compromise I'll tell him/her "Make him a deal." what kind of deal? "A deal deal, maybe he's a Republican." If the employee is a Democrat he takes me literally and is indignant. If a Republican, I see a inkling of understanding, he says "ok" and off he goes.

When I come in from working on the car or the garden and am grungy looking my wife will ask, what happed to you? "I've been slimed."

Some people won't accept when you don't want to give a direct answer and press you. If they are not satisfied with my first answer and continue in their course I'll respond "I'm on vacation."

A good one for when you win at a contest or debate is "Rommel you magnificant bastard, I read your BOOK!"

How many whinners have you put down with a "There's no crying in Baseball"

There are some that should be banned. "Read my Lips" "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse."

 

[Richard Travale]

Comes up everytime someone mentions money or refuses to buy a round.

My favourite in this situation is "put in the dollar Mr. Pink"

My friends and I are really bad for Seinfeld quotes as well.

I actually had to stop quoting Swingers as I was very close to being punched in the head many times, especially quoting Trent.

My favourite quote from Fletch is "thank you very little" but that doesn't go over very well so I don't use it anymore.

We've been plundering The Usual Suspects lately, and boy its a friggin' gold mine! Here's a few of our favourites:
"Is it Friday already?"
"Fuck your father in the shower and then have a snack?"
"One more thing tough guy. Anymore surprises and I'm gonna kill ya!"
"GivhimmdaMoney" (New York's Finest Taxi Service)
"Bad day. Fuck it."
"You wanna dance?"
"Dig you fuck!"
"I'm the one that's gonna get ya. [whispering] I just wanted you to know that."
"Ready?" "I would be if I didn't have to stop and answer you."

And boy do I love this one from Leon.
Fletch isn't a personal favourite of mine, but I do find myself uttering the immortal words "Moooooooooon River from time to time.

 

[Paul_D]

Also, American Psycho has been getting a lot of play lately. Here's the list (It's necessary to say these with a typically Batemanesque voice ):
"You don't spin a Manora, you spin a Dredel."
"You can't bleach a Cerruti!"
"Your compliment was sufficient Lewis!"
"You know how bad you smell? You reek of shit. Did you know that?"
(Whenever we turn down an invitation, the reason is invariably) "I have to return some video tapes."
And on occasion, friends have found great amusement in asking me: "Another Martini Paul?"
