Situations where you can quote "The Wrath of Khan"

As promised a follow up from "The Motion Picture" thread.

When someone asks you what you like to drink from:

"CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN"

When you constantly bluff at poker:

"I dont like to loose"

Keep the comming
 
It will be the battlecry of Democrats in 2012.

"Yes we CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"
"Yes we CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"

Every time you're forced to wait for the lift: "Who's been holding up the damn elevator?!"
 
Buddy of mine was pretty unfaithful to his girlfriend, so I got to be obvious and use "he cheated." And nobody thought I was quoting anything, only that I was a simpleton.

"Who's been holding up the damned elevator" got some usage when I worked in a large office building. And when someone gets pissed at another co-worker, a random "he blames you for the death of his wife" comes in very handy.
 
I did this for a recent Doctor Who AV contest:

I've actually done that one where me and a buddy are waiting for a female friend to arrive...then when she does one of us will say "THERE SHE IS! There she is! And not so wounded as we were lead to believe...so much the better."
 
You know, when ever I need to run down a coridoor - I always channel a bit of shatner in his getting-down-there-better-hurry-spock-is-going-to-die jog/run style.

Not a quote as such - but it makes me laugh. ;)
 
When trying to calm down an excited friend, I sometimes say "Don't have kittens" per David Marcus. However, I don't mention Genesis. Very hush hush. Shhhh.
 
When speaking about foolish people, "This pattern indicates two dimensional thinking."

If you have a lost call on your phone "You've lost their signal."

When speaking about my love life "Doesn't have to be completely lifeless."

When you're about to move "Maybe it's something we can transplant."

If you're about to have a games night, "You may indulge yourself."
 
Any time I pull off something cool that I had no expectation of doing - handling a real difficult client at work, throwing a surprise party for my wife without her finding out, etc. - I like to whip out the "I don't believe in the no-win scenario" line.

Sometimes when people come over and my dogs go nutty I tell them they are "pets...not quite domesticated."
 
I've used "for everything there is a first time" on a few occasions and I can't believe nobody's brought up the "humour, it is a difficult concept" which can be useful :)
 
I've actually done that one where me and a buddy are waiting for a female friend to arrive...then when she does one of us will say "THERE SHE IS! There she is! And not so wounded as we were lead to believe...so much the better."

:lol: I am so going to use that now.


At a friend of mine's wedding, the best man started quoting kirk's funeral speech. It was pretty funny
 
When somebody is giving you a difficult time (usually it's at work for me, but not always):

"He tasks me. He tasks me, and I shall have him!"

When someone (it's usually my wife) is getting overly-upset at something:

"You must learn to govern your passions--they will be your undoing."
 
Ever since high school (1991!!!) my best friend and I would always (and still do) say, "If were to go by the book, like Lieutenant Saavik, hours would seem like days" when we are about to talk about something that we don't want outsiders or loiterers to pick up on.
