Favorite lines from movies......

That never make it into the "Worlds favorite lines from movies" shows.
Apropos of the cinematic theme, and tonight's '50 to 1', does anyone else have any good 'uns that never seem to make it onto the lists?
Mine is William Hurt in 'Body Heat', just before Kate Turner's famous line.
Paraphrasing here,
He says;
-"I need someone to 'tend' me, to wipe my forehead, to bring me cold drinks, to clean my sheets and fluff my pillow"
-"You should get married"
-"I only want it for tonight"

Well..I thought it was funny at the time.

Helen Hunt to Jack Nicholson in 'Good as it Gets':

"Getting louder..."

Jack to waitress:

"Look, elephant girl, go get Carol" (wasn't he a fantastic ratbag?)

Dan Aykroyd to Kathleen Freeman in 'Blues Brothers':

"Ow, you fat penguin"

Edit: this might make me seem a misogynist, but that isn't so, ladies.

I'd add several from the Blues Brothers...

Not sure if any of them make the real list or not...

"I hate Illinois nazis"

John Belushi's spiel to Carrie Fisher in the tunnel..."It's not my fault"...

The old man in the YMCA..."What about my cheese whiz boy"...

Aretha's "2 Honkies dressed like Diamond merchants one ordered 4 fried chickens and the other ordered 2 pieces of dry white toast" (or similar)


I could go on and on....I love that show...

I know that as an Eastwood special (I think it is from Every Which Way but Loose).
Not sure about number 2 but it sounds familiar.
Do I win?

We should do a thread to identify the movie.

Not Sure if it made the show, but one of my all time favourite lines, and the epitome of ironic understatement is:

"We're gonna need a BIGGER boat..."

Loved Jaws although it took 5 times to see the complete movie.

One famous line that always cracks me up is from "Goldfinger".

Bond is strapped to a table with a laser beam about to cut him in half.

Bond: So Goldfinger do you expect me to talk?

Goldfinger" No Mr Bond, I expect you to die.

and then there's those classic lines from Goldfingers main henchman Oddjob "Ah Ha" in fact thats all he says but watch out for the steel rimmed bowler hat.

Cheers

Villager: "She turned me into a newt!"
Sir Bedevere: "A newt?"

[silence, shuffling of feet, eyes down]

Villager: "............................I got better."





Bishop: "I may be synthetic but I'm not stupid"




Hudson: "Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?" Vasquez: "No. Have you?"



Brian: "You're all different!"
The Crowd: "Yes, we ARE all different!"
Man in Crowd: "Err, I'm not..."
The Crowd: "Shush!"


Ted Arroway: "I don't know, Sparks. But I guess I'd say if it is just us... seems like an awful waste of space."

My favourite line is in "High Road to China";

"The oxen is slow, but the Earth is patient."

Funniest line...
Suleman Khan (Brian Blessed) : You will be my welcome guests for dinner
Struts : Is he going to eat us or feed us?

(On-line at YouTube at time mark "4.12" )

Yup, although ObiWan Kenobi never actually said this in the movies. It was Han Solo, who often does not get the credit.
