Obscure lines that stick in your head.

From the 1988 stage musical Mail:

"We don't mean to alarm you, but the world is falling to pieces."

"...even though we don't know what the hell we're about!"
 
From the pilot episode of The A-Team. Colonel Lynch and his military police are chasing the team through a movie studio. One of the MP cars loses control and crashes into a movie set house, out of the chase.

Lynch (over radio): Johnson! Where are you?
Johnson: I think I'm in ... Quincy's living room?
Lynch: We're falling apart here!
 
From Alien 3:

Ripley: Does that mean you don't have weapons of any kind here?

Andrews: This is a penalty colony...

Ripley: We're all f***ed!
 
"It's time to polka, for Ponyta and Pidgey too
Come on, put on your lederhosen
And try not to step on little Pikachu
You've got to grab yourself a partner,
Like Tentacruel or Bulbasaur,
Hold on a minute - there's still at least 127 more"
 
From Firefly:

Wash: I want to go to the crappy town where I'm a hero!

Jayne: What did y'all order a dead guy for?
 
From When Things Were Rotten, "This Lance for Hire":

[the Black Knight, mysterious adversary throughout the episode, has just departed on friendly terms]

Robin Hood: I've never seen anything like that before!
Alan-a-Dale: You mean the color of his skin?
Robin Hood: No, a knight with a mustache!
 
From an episode of The Love Boat: The Next Wave. Tristan (Wil Wheaton) and Juliet (Sydney Penny) are an engaged couple, both scientists, who want some sexual experience with other people before they get married. So they're going about it scientifically, seeking other bed partners on the cruise. While she's perfectly clinical about the whole thing, he discovers there are some times when one should just be a human being.

Tristan: I'm a man who wants you. And I would rather be inexperienced with you, than even imagine you with another man.
Juliet: God, I love hands-on research!
(They start passionately making out on the spot.)
 
"Oh, look at the little baby. Hello, baby, where's your mommy?" - Family Guy

and

"That bartender looks just like John Travolta!"

"Yeah...looks like." -The Simpsons
 
Alan Parsons Project - "Pyramania"

I had read, somewhere in a book
They improve all your food and your wine
It said, that everything you grow in your garden
would taste pretty fine - instead,
All I ever get is a pain in the neck and a
YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP
 
"It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again".
That's odd, considering I have yet to see this movie.... :eek:
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm having an old friend for dinner.
 
From Casablanca. Karl has a drink with a couple who are leaving the next day for America.

Husband: Luisa and I are speaking only English now.
Wife: So that we should feel at home when we get to America.
Husband: (to wife) What watch?
Wife: (looking at wrist) Ten watch.
Karl: You will get along very nicely in America.
 
She turned me into a newt! .....I got better.

Different movie.

Now listen here, you mullet. Why don't you just light your tampon, and blow your box apart? Because it's the only bang you're ever gonna get.

"Good luck in prison"
"Usually one must go to a bowling alley to meet someone of your caliber."
"Steal something casual"
"I shall alert the media."

All the lines are from Arthur. The first three are spoken by John Gielgud to Liza Minnelli upon their first meeting. The last is spoken by Gielgud after Arthur sighs, "I think I'll take a bath today."

I use them all a lot.
