Obscure lines that stick in your head.

This is from comics but I do love it:


Nick Fury: If I ever need advice on how to fight my way up the president's ass without covering fire, that's when I'll come to you.
 
"That bartender looks just like John Travolta!"
"Yeah...looks like." -The Simpsons


It's a joke that The Simpsons does often but always works. I like the one where they're in Washington D.C. and getting advice on how to pass a bill in Congress from the janitor.
"That janitor kind of looks like Walter Mondale."
"Yeah...looks like."

I like the line from the Halloween special where they're on the spaceship being sent into the Sun with all of humanity's refuse aboard, including Tom Arnold (actually voiced by Tom Arnold).
"Yeah, isn't that a kick in the teeth. I mean, sure, my shows weren't great but I never tied people up and made them watch. And I could because I'm a big guy and I'm good with knots."
 
Not from a movie, but some might get it:

"Shecky... get the jet!"

I forget what movie this was, but at a murder scene in Japan, a police captain rattles off several orders to two subordinates. After each order, the subordinates say "hai" (yes). Eventually the captain says,

"One hai at the end is sufficient."
 
A long time ago I was flipping channels and I stopped on a German channel called RTL+ and they were showing Terminator 2. It was just when the Connors/Ahnult and Dyson were inside Cyberdyne ready to sneak in. It's not an obscure line per se, since it's Ahnult's trademark. He was about to say: "I'll be back" but in German.

He said: "Ich bin gleich zurück"

And that line literally killed me!
 
"If that guy calls, tell him I'm on my way over and I am very very very very PISSED."
"What about my 15 bucks?"
"Tell him you're pissed too!"

- Night of the Comet
 
After Frank Drebin arrests a criminal Ed comes over with two uniformed officers.

Ed: Sergeants, taker her away and book her.
Frank: (Shaking each sergeant's hand) Sergeant Takeheraway. Sergeant Booker.
 
From the pilot episode of The A-Team. After the team's private plane takes off from Los Angeles, Murdock tells Face they need to locate a commercial flight and follow it to reach Acapulco. Face gives Murdock some choices from printed airline flight schedules.

Murdock: "I'll take the [Western Airlines flight]. They're easy to see, and their pilots don't mind if you hitchhike."

:guffaw:

"We're sorry to bother you at a time like this, Mrs. Twice. We would have come earlier, but your husband wasn't dead then."
 
"Go! Go! Go! Go! Now! Now! Now! Now!"

From Cool Runnings, Irv's shout pretty much every time the guys pushed off down the chute. I find myself yelling this at cars when they refuse to see the perfectly good green light staring at them.

Frank: When I returned home I received a call from Mimi DeJour. She said she wanted to meet me at the club right away. Since I had no idea where the Club Rightaway was, I suggested the Club Flamingo. She agreed.
