Lines from fiction you yearn to say in earnest.

[scotpens]

"Look, it tells time simultaneously in Monte Carlo, Beverly Hills, London, Paris, Rome, and Gstaad."

"You know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube."

And on a related note: "Oh, and Senator, just one more thing: love your suit!"

"TRY GETTING A RESERVATION AT DORSIA NOW!"

"Put... the bunny... back... in the box. "

Am I getting old or something? I haven’t a clue where any of those lines come from.

the second and third quotes are from The Silence of the Lambs.

the second and third quotes are from The Silence of the Lambs.

And the last is from Con Air, but I only know because I Googled it.

 

[Sephiroth]

Things I want to work more into conversations
"Excuse me, I'm selling these fine leather jackets"
"Were the Fettuchini brothers, I'm Alfredo and this is my brother Bill"
"You fight like a dairy farmer"
"Ask me about LOOM(tm)"
I want to walk into a McDonalds and have that conversation from pulp fiction
(at the end of an arguement) AND ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME, A 3 HOUR TOUR, WHO THE HELL TAKES A 3 FUCKING HOUR TOUR??

Things I manage to work into conversations frequently
"Thats the second largest (object) I have ever seen"
"Come, Paspateau"
"Just who the hell do you think I am?"

 

[captcalhoun]

i have genuinely used the line "your powers are weak, old man."

 

[WillsBabe]

A couple: "I'm sorry, did I break your concentration," (but probably not after blowing out someone's brains), and "Get him out of my sky" (from Space: Above And Beyond). I did say, "Aren't you a little short for a firefighter" once to someone, but I don't think he got the joke, or appreciated the observation!

 

[Cheapjack]

'You B****, JR!'

Lucy Ewing, 'The Ewings of Dallas'.

[Deckerd]

"You know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube."

One I actually use occasionally on messageboards: "Pooooooooor meeeeeee" Although I'm not sure it was in the film.

 

[Asbo Zaprudder]

"I know what you're thinking. 'Did he fire six shots or only five?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"

I have used "These aren't the droids you're looking for" many times, substituting "droids" for the appropriate noun. Never gets a blink of recognition.

Oh, I've used that one several times too, except I deliver it without the contraction and also do the hand gesture.

Only once did someone actually know what I was doing and responded with your Jedi mind-tricks don't work on me.

"Put... the bunny... back... in the box. "

Am I getting old or something? I haven’t a clue where any of those lines come from.

Don't feel bad. I don't know where most of the lines in the whole thread come from.

 

[trampledamage]

Oh, another one that I used to have to bite my tongue to stop myself saying in meetings

"Everything else is just ground clutter on the highway"

from Outbreak.

Luckily for the sanity of everyone else, I don't work any more - and my kids use lines from movies as part of every day conversation all the time

 

[Jadzia]

Don't feel bad. I don't know where most of the lines in the whole thread come from.

Neither do I.

Imagine how disappointing it would be to use one of these lines with people who don't recognise it.

 

[Jetfire]

Chandler from FRIENDS

"I knew it!"

 

[trampledamage]

Don't feel bad. I don't know where most of the lines in the whole thread come from.

Which is why I never do, outside of my sister and mr trampledamage

"What is your major malfunction, numbnuts?!?"

Dogbert: "Never question an engineer's opinion, you thundering moron!"

My wife, who is a high school teacher, actually used this in class when she told them an assignment, and then addressed one particularly squirmy student: "You can dance if you want to. You can leave your friends behind." She loves throwing out random quotes and seeing who catches on and who's clueless.

 

[Lindley]

One I have used on occasion:

"I hope so, Commander, for your sake."

 

[Asbo Zaprudder]

"You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little fucked up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to fuckin' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny? "

 

[TheSeeker]

I have used "These aren't the droids you're looking for" many times, substituting "droids" for the appropriate noun. Never gets a blink of recognition.

I've used that one on a few occasions myself.

Another one I'd like to use: "That's no moon..."
