Movie & TV Quotations

 

Princess Bride

Buttercup: We'll never survive!

Westley: Nonsense! You're only saying that because no one ever has.

~~~

Inigo: Who are you?
Westley: No one of consequence.
Inigo: I must know.
Westley: Get used to disappointment.
~~~

Westley: Give us the gate key.
Yellin: I have no gate key.
Inigo: Fezzik, tear his arms off.
Yellin: Oh, you mean *this* gate key.

~~~

Inigo: Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

~~~

Vizzini: HE DIDN'T FALL? INCONCEIVABLE!

Inigo: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

~~~

Inigo: You seem a decent fellow. I hate to kill you.
Westley: You seem a decent fellow. I hate to die.

~~~

Prince Humperdinck: Surrender!
Westley: You mean you wish to surrender to me? Very well, I accept.

~~~

Prince Humperdinck: Tyrone, you know how much I love watching you work. But I've got my country's 500th anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange, my wife to murder, and Guilder to frame for it. I'm swamped!

~~~

Vizzini: You only think I guessed wrong - that's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha-ha, you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia," but only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian, when *death* is on the line!"  Hahahahahah! Ahahahahahahaha!  Hahaha--
[falls over dead]

 

 

Waiting For Guffman

Dr. Pearl: People ask me, were you... You must have been the class clown. And I say, No, I wasn't. But I sat next to the class clown, and I studied him.

~~~

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board. Eleven, eleven, eleven--

Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten.
Nigel: Exactly.
Marty: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty: I don't know--
Nigel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
[pause]

Nigel: These go to eleven.

 

 

Clue

Col. Mustard: Do you like Kipling, Miss Scarlett?

Miss Scarlett:  Sure, I'll eat anything.

~~~

Wadsworth: Professor Plum, you were once a professor of psychiatry, specializing in helping paranoid and homicidal lunatics suffering from delusions of grandeur.
Professor Plum: Yes, but now I work for the United Nations.
Wadsworth: So your work has not changed.

~~~

Mrs. White: It's a matter of life after death; now that he's dead, I have a life.

~~~

Mrs. White: He had threatened to kill me in public.
Miss Scarlett: Why would he want to kill you in public?
Wadsworth: I think she meant, he threatened, in public, to kill her.

~~~

Wadsworth: Well, to make a long story short...

Col. Mustard:  Too late.

~~~

Mrs. White: Husbands should be like Kleenex: soft, strong, and disposable.

~~~

Col. Mustard: You lure men to their deaths like a spider with flies!

Mrs. White: Flies are where men are most vulnerable!

Col. Mustard: Right!...

~~~

Col. Mustard: Are you trying to make me look stupid in front of the other guests?
Wadsworth: You don't need any help from me, sir.
Col. Mustard: That's right!

~~~

Mrs. Peacock: What are you doing?

Col. Mustard:  Just checking.

Mrs. Peacock: Is everything all right?

Col. Mustard: Yep. Two corpses, everything's fine.

~~~

Miss Scarlett: Communism is just a red herring.

~~~

Prof. Plum: What are you afraid of, a fate worse than death?
Mrs. Peacock: No, just death, isn't that enough?

~~~

Prof. Plum: But is the FBI in the habit of cleaning up after multiple murder?
Wadsworth: Yes. Why do you think it's run by a man called Hoover?

~~~

Wadsworth: Just like the Mounties; we always get our man!
Mr. Green: Mrs. Peacock was a man?!

 

 

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

Sheriff of Nottingham: Wait a minute. Robin Hood steals money from my pocket, forcing me to hurt the public, and they love him for it? [scribe nods]  That's it then.  Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans.  No more merciful beheadings.  And call off Christmas!
~~~

Sheriff of Nottingham: Robin Hood!!!  I’ll cut your heart out with a spoon!

[later, in the dungeons]
Guy of Gisbourne: Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe, or a sword, or--
Sheriff of Nottingham: Because it's DULL, you twit, it'll hurt more!

 

A Fish Called Wanda

Archie:  Are you totally de-ranged??

Otto: You pompous, stuck-up, snot-nosed, English, giant, twerp, scumbag, fuck-face, dickhead, asshole!
Archie: How very interesting. You're a true vulgarian, aren't you?
Otto: You are the vulgarian, you fuck!

~~~

Otto: Look, you obviously don't know anything about intelligence work, lady. It's an X-K-Red-27 technique.
Wendy: My father was in the Secret Service, Mr. Manfredjinsinjin, and I know perfectly well that you don't keep the general public informed when you are "debriefing KGB defectors in a safe house."

Otto: Oh, you don't, huh?

Wendy: Not unless you're congenitally insane or irretrievably stupid, no.

Otto: Don't call me stupid!

Wendy: Why on earth not?

Otto: Oh, you English are SO superior, aren't you?  Well, would you like to know what you'd be without us, the ol' US of A to protect you? I'll tell you. The smallest fucking province in the Russian Empire, that's what. So don't call me stupid, lady. Just thank me!

Wendy: (sarcastically)  Well thank you for popping in and protecting us!

Otto: If it wasn't for us, you'd all be speaking German!  Singing "Deutchland, Deutchland, Über Alles!"

~~~

Wanda: (about Otto) He's so dumb...
Archie: Really?
Wanda: ...he thought that the Gettysburg Address was where Lincoln lived.
 

Archie: And those terrible lies he told about the CIA!  So painful..

Wanda: And when he heard your daughter was named Portia, he said, "Why did they name her after a car?"

~~~

Otto: Pork away pal!  Fuck her blue.

 

 

Dogma

Gun Salesman: We call this piece the Fecalator. One look at it and the target shits him- or herself. Try it on.
Loki: Well, it's a lot more compact than the flaming sword, but it's not nearly as impressive. Just doesn't have that wrath-of-the-Almighty edge to it.
  I mean, come on, how am I supposed to strike fear into the hearts of the wicked with this thing? Look at this...
Bartleby: Well, then, you know, don't use a gun. Just lay the place to waste, like.
Loki: Easy for you to say. You get off light in razing. You got to stand there and read at Sodom and Gomorrah, I had to do all the work.
Bartleby: What work did you do? You lit a few fires!
Loki: I rained down sulfur, man, there's a subtle difference.
Bartleby: Oh, yeah, I'm sure.
Loki: You know, fuck you, man, any moron with a pack of matches can start a fire. Raining down sulfur is like an endurance trial. Mass genocide is the most exhausting practice one can engage in. Next to soccer.

~~~

Jay: Guys like us don't just fall out of the sky, you know! [Rufus falls naked out of the sky] Beautiful naked big-tittied women don't just fall out of the sky, you know! [nothing]  Worth a try.

~~~

Azrael: No pleasure, no rapture, no exquisite sin greater... than central air.
~~~

Serendipity: How? That's the only thing I couldn't figure out.
Azrael: Oh no, I've seen WAY too many Bond movies to know that you never reveal ALL the details of your plan, no matter how close you may think you are to winning.

 

 

Men In Black

J: Why the big secret? People are smart, they can handle it.
K: A *person* is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it.
~~~

Beatrice: You here to make fun of me too?
K: No, ma'am. We at the FBI do not have a sense of humor we're aware of. May we come in?
Beatrice: Sure.

 

 

Undercover Blues

Newman: What line are you in?

Jeff: Brain surgery. Professional  brain surgery.

~~~

Muerte: My name is Muerte. Don’t you forget that.
~~~

Lieutenant: Cute baby. Boy or girl?

Jeff: Gosh, I hope so.

~~~

Jane: Let me get this straight. You took our baby into a knife fight?

Jeff: It was a fair fight – two of them, two of us.

~~~

Muerte: My name...is Muerte.
Jeff Blue: Well, I’m pleased to meet you Morty, my name is Jeff.
~~~

Lieutenant: What do you do for a living, sir?

~~~

[M roughs up a bar]

Muerte: My name is Muerte! My name is death!! Don’t you forget that!!! Scum-hooks!

~~~

Lieutenant: What did you say you did for a living?

Jeff: I’m an airline pilot.

Lieutenant: Thought you said you were a vacuum cleaner salesman.

Jeff: Well if you knew, why’d you ask?

~~~

Jeff: People in a major hurry never look at the driver.

~~~

Jeff: [answers phone]  Yello.

Muerte: [voice]  This Blue?

Jeff: Speaking.

Muerte: Do you remember me?

Jeff: Well you have a really sexy voice. But hey, I’m a happily married man.

Muerte: Well you‘re gonna be a dead man soon.

Jeff: [laughs]  Who is this again?

Muerte: This is Muerte.

Jeff: Morty!

Muerte: No! No Morty. Muerte! Death!

Jeff: Yeah, right, Death...

Muerte: Mm-hmm. That’s right. I’m going to come for you, man.  I’m going to come for you, and I’m going to kill you, okay--

Jeff: Morty, Morty, Morty, it’s late. What’s the bottom line here?

Muerte: The bottom line? The bottom line is you’re gonna die, man. Ugly.

Jeff: Look Morty, do me a favor, okay? Don’t call here anymore unless you want to have, like, a serious conversation, all right? [hangs up]

Muerte: Excuse me, no! Oh-- hello? Hello?

~~~

[Several goons point guns]
Goon: Don't make any sudden moves.
Jeff Blue: Why not? Is there a bee on me?

~~~

Jeff: FBI, you’re under arrest!  You have the right to remain silent.  If you give up that right, you may talk, sing, dance, impersonate Elvis, or anything else you like.  You also have the right to an attorney.  If you’re broke and can’t afford an attorney, tough shit! Now get in the car, you suspected felon, you!

~~~

Paulina: I am Paulina Novacek.  Your name?

Muerte: My name is Muerte.

Paulina: As in *death*?

Muerte: Si. Si, yes! You speak Spanish?

Paulina: Si, si.

Muerte: I trust you.

~~~

Jane: Kill the lights.

[Jeff smashes the lamp]

Jane: [laughs]  I meant turn it off.

~~~

Jeff: You know, I can figure you getting me. I could figure you grabbing Jane. But to get your hands on the Bossman himself, The Big M.

[a gagged M vigorously shakes his head]

Paulina: What? Do you mean to say that this man is your superior?!

Jeff: I said to him, Sir, the risk is too great.  You stay here in the Hollow Mountain where it’s safe, and I shall go forth--

Muerte: [muffled]  No!  No!

Paulina: Take this gag off.
Muerte: No, no, no!
  My name is MORTY!



Austin Powers

Guard: Danger Powers’ personal effects.

Austin: Actually, my name is Austin Powers.

Guard: Says here “Name, Danger Powers.”

Austin: No-no-no-no.  Danger’s my middle name.

~~~

Dr. Evil: How was your day?

Scott Evil: Well, my friend Sweet Jay took me to that video arcade in town, right, and they don't speak English there, so Jay got into a fight and he's all, "Hey quit hasslin' me cuz' I don't speak French" or whatever! And then the guy said something in Paris talk, and I'm like, "Just back off!" And they're all, "Get out!" And we're like, "Make me!"  It was cool.

~~~

Dr. Evil: Scott, I want you to meet daddy's nemesis, Austin Powers.
Scott Evil: What, are you feeding him? Why don't you just kill him?
Dr. Evil: No, Scott, I have an even better idea. I'm going to place him in an easily escapable situation involving an overly elaborate and exotic death.

 

 

Three Musketeers

[to the one-eyed Captain]

Porthos: Rochefort. Isn't that a smelly kind of cheese?

~~~

Guard: Are you coming peacefully, or do you intend to resist?
Porthos: Oh don't be so stupid, of course we intend to resist! Just give us a moment, all right?!

~~~

Porthos: This sash was given to me by the Queen of America.

D’Artagnan: There’s no Queen of America.

Porthos: I beg to differ, infant. We’re on quite intimate terms, unless you can prove otherwise.

~~~

Porthos: This axe was a gift to me from the Czarina of Tokyo.

~~~

Porthos: I see. It’s Twit of the Month, come to challenge the mighty Porthos. Thinks he’s lightning with a sword—

D’Artagnan: The mighty who?
Porthos: Don't tell me you've never heard of me.
~~~

Bad Guy: Porthos the Pirate! AAAAH!!!
[bad guys jump overboard]

~~~

Whistler: I want peace on earth, and good will toward man.

Barton Fink

Ben: Look, you confused? You need guidance? Talk to another writer.
Barton Fink: Who?
Ben: Jesus, throw a rock in here, you'll hit one. And do me a favor, Fink - throw it hard.

 

 

Star Wars

Yoda: Hard to see, the dark side is.

~~~

Darth Vader: I find your lack of faith disturbing.

~~~

Yoda: Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you.
~~~

Qui-Gon Jinn: Remember: Your focus determines your reality.
~~~

Yoda: Always two there are. No more, no less. A master and an apprentice.

~~~

Beed: I don't care what universe you're from, that's got to hurt!
~~~

Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.

~~~

Han Solo: Not a bad bit of rescuing, huh? You know, sometimes I amaze even myself.
Princess Leia: That doesn't sound too hard.

~~~

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Use the Force, Luke.

~~~

Leia: Why, you stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf-herder!
Han Solo: Who's scruffy-looking?

~~~

Obi-Wan Kenobi: If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.

~~~

Yoda: Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere. Yes, even between the land and the ship.

~~~

Luke Skywalker: All right, I'll give it a try.
Yoda: No! Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.

~~~

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Luke, you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view.

 

 

Last Night

Craig Zwiller: If you are gonna go...
Patrick Wheeler: Might as well be coming.

~~~

Patrick: I think maybe I should mention before you make any faux pas here, that we have a tradition in this family, that we don't kill other people.
~~~

Patrick: You have two others!
Craig: It's a collection! They're antique cars. Two old cars is not a collection! It's a guy with two old cars.

~~~

Patrick: I don't want to risk having bad sex today. I don't want it to be the last thing on my mind.

 

 

The Imposters

Meistrich: Oh. The danger of the chase has made you perspire. It has made me also... moist.

~~~

Sparks: Are either of you Greek?
Arthur: No.
Maurice: Well, yes, actually I'm half-Greek.
Sparks: Top half or bottom half?

~~~

Emily: Do you know the gentleman who stole your wife?
Happy Franks: Danny Sussman. He was my agent.
Emily: Some agent.
Happy: He was a great agent! I loved him like a brother. I loved my wife like a mother and a hooker. And look where it's got me!

~~~

Arthur: You stole my death.  I couldn’t believe it.  I thought, why is he dying?  Today is my day to die.

Maurice: I was really, really confused.

Arthur: Did you think that you were supposed to die?

Maurice: I was confused. I was unsure, and I made a choice.

Arthur: But didn’t you see that I was dying?

~~~

Arthur: You know what really burns me up? What really gets my goat, is that Mike had a great death coming up, and he was cheated.

~~~

Arthur: Oh, my God! We're gonna die! We're going to die!!! I don’t want to die--
Maurice: Arthie, listen. Your dream has come true. You’ll have your great tragic death!
Arthur: I DON'T WANT A REAL ONE!

~~~

Maurice: [toasting]  To life.

Arthur: And it’s many deaths.

 

 

Hard Core Logo

Billy Tallent: [answering machine] I can't come to the phone right now.  I'm eating corn chips and masturbating.  Please leave a message.

~~~

Joe Dick: There's two ways to look at it. Billy wants the models and limousines, while I'm happy with hookers and taxicabs.

~~~

Billy Tallent: <buzzes> The category is cool movies, not dumb-ass movies, Alex Trebek.

 

 

Roxanne

Mayor Deebs: A toast! I would like to say, that I would rather be with the people of this town, than with the finest people in the world!

~~~

[re: The Nelson Promotional Cow]

CD Bales: I think it’s a fantastic idea.

Mayor: Do you like it?

CD: I do, I love it.  I think it’s GREAT! [walks away]  Great idea.  I think it’s brilliant!  What an idea!  And I was there. I saw it happen!  He took the idea.  He saw it ripe on the tree.  He plucked it, and he put it in his pocket. It’s, it’s – dare I say – genius?!  No.  No.  But maybe, ooh, ah, maybe it is! Maybe I’m in the presence of greatness.  Maybe I just don’t know it.  But I saw it...

~~~

[CD bursts into the doctor’s office]

CD: This time I want you to do it, Dave, I want you to CUT THE THING OFF!  I’m tired of having a magnificent, fabulous, interesting nose. I want a cute little pert little petite little button nose!  Gimme the American Beauty, Dave.

Dave: CD, you know I can’t.

CD: Oh, yes you can, Dave.  You can do it.  Get the knife.  Cut me, Dave, cut it!

~~~

CD: Chris, do you know what carpe diem is?

Chris: Some kind of fish, fish bait, what?

CD: No, it’s Latin. It means Seize the Day.  It means there may not be a tomorrow, so do it now, seek life now, while you’re young, while you’ve got the chance.

Chris: You’re telling me to go after Roxanne.

CD: No. I wouldn’t.  I’d wait.  Mail her a letter.

~~~

Dixie: Hey Roxanne, what’s a light year?

CD: Same as a regular year, only it has less calories.

~~~

Chris: I was a stupid, bumbling, uh... [CD indicates rear end]  Pointer.

Roxanne Kowalski: [mutters]  Pointer?

Chris: No-no, stupid... [CD points again]  I mean... stupid ass.  Yeah.

Roxanne: So why’d you say those things?

Chris: Why’d I say those things?

CD: [whispers]  Tell her you were afraid.

Chris: Because I was afraid.

Roxanne: Of me? What do you mean, you were afraid, afraid of what?

CD: [whispers]  Tell her you were afraid of words.

Chris: What-what-what?

CD: [whispers]  *Words!*

Chris: Because I was afraid of WORMS, Roxanne, WORMS!

~~~

CD: Ten more seconds, and I'm leaving.
Roxanne: [opening door]
  What did you say?!
CD: I said Ten more seconds, and I'm leaving.
Roxanne: Oh. [goes inside]
CD: Wait a minute, what’d you think I said?
Roxanne: I thought you said “Earn more sessions by sleeving.”

CD: Well, what the hell does that mean?

Roxanne: I don’t know, that’s why I came out.

~~~

Something Betters

Obvious: Say, is that your nose, or did a bus park on your face?

Meteorological: Everybody take cover, she’s going to blow!

Fashionable: You know you could de-emphasize your nose if you wore something larger... like Wyoming!

Personal: Well, here we are. Just the three of us.

Punctual: All right, Dellman, your nose was on time, but YOU were 15 minutes late.

Envious: Ooohhh, I wish I were you! Gosh. To be able to smell your own ear?!

Naughty: Pardon me, sir, some of the ladies have asked if you wouldn’t mind putting that thing away.

Philosophical: You know, it’s not the size of a nose that’s important. It’s what’s in it that matters!

Humorous: Laugh and the world laughs with you. Sneeze, and it’s goodbye, Seattle.

Commercial: Hi, I’m Earl Scheib and I can paint that nose for $39.95.

Polite: Would you mind not bobbing your head? The orchestra keeps changing tempo.

Melodic: Everybody. [sings]  He’s got the whole world in his nose.

Sympathetic: Aw, what happened, did your parents lose a bet with God?

Complimentary: You must LOVE the little birdies to give them this to perch on.

Scientific: Say, does that thing there influence the tides?

Obscure: Whoo.  I’d hate to see the grindstone.  Hey, think about it.

Inquiring: When you stop and smell the flowers, are they afraid?

French: Say, zee pigs have refused to find any more truffles until you leave!

Pornographic: Finally, a man who can satisfy two women at once!
Religious: The Lord giveth... and he just kept on giving, didn’t he?

Disgusting: Say, who mows your nose hair?

Paranoid: Keep that guy away from my cocaine!

Aromatic: It must be wonderful to wake up in the morning and smell the coffee...in Brazil.

Appreciative: Ooh, how original, most people just have their teeth capped!

Dirty: Your name wouldn’t be Dick, would it?

 

 

Delirious

[Dr. is caught doing a maneuver incorrectly]

Dr. Kirkwood: Of course I know the Heimlich.  I know the Heimlich!  I know the-- Jim, you know I know the Heimlich!  I love the Heimlich. I’m always doing the Heimlich.  It’s one of my favorite maneuvers.....I’m a medical DOCTOR!

 

 

Freakazoid

Announcer: We interrupt this program to increase dramatic tension.

~~~

Freakazoid: If I’m not back in five minutes, keep waiting.

~~~

Cosgrove: You're not a failure, kid. It's just that your ideas are silly and dumb.

~~~

Baffeardin the Lawn Gnome: We are wise and cunning.

Husga the Lawn Gnome: We stole man's fire and then tried to hide it in our pockets.

Baffeardin the Lawn Gnome: That was painful and dumb. So we became even more cunning.

~~~

The Lobe: I went to all the trouble to think up this amazing, brilliant scheme. The least you can do is chase me around!

~~~

Hans: Now, come. We mustn't linger. It is not safe here at night.

Freakazoid: It's day.

Hans: Well then, I suppose we can linger for a moment.

Gutierrez: Revenge is a dish best served with pinto beans and muffins!

Announcer: This has been brought to you by Anubis Markets, a division of Osiris Foods.
"Food so good, you can eat it!"

~~~

Longhorn: Son, you’re dumber than a bowl of mice.

~~~

Freakazoid: Dumb, dumb, dumb! Never tell the villain how to trap you in a cage!

Gutierrez: You probably shouldn't have helped us build it, either.

Freakazoid: I know! Dumb!

~~~

Guitierrez: Freakazoid, help me! Would you let your father fall?

Freakazoid: My father?! You're my father??

Guitierrez: Uh...er, yes! I *am* your father!

[F! starts to give G his hand, then stops]

Freakazoid: Who was my mother?

Guitierrez: Uh...Faye Dunaway?

[F! stands up and crosses his arms]

Freakazoid: No she's *not*

Guitierrez: Kaye Ballard?

Freakazoid: Kaye--nooo.

Guitierrez: Would you believe Sandy Duncan?

~~~

Douglas Douglas: You know, Duncan, you're the only one who ever *sees* this blue guy.

Duncan Douglas: He's REAL!

Debbie Douglas: Well, of course he's real to *you* dear, but that's because you're probably insane.

 

 

The Red Green Show

Kevin Black: Yeah, I think we should just take that right to bed, see how it creases the sheets.

~~~

Dougie Franklin: Don't adjust your set... the show's supposed to look like this.

~~~

Harold Green: Be the best you can be... considering.
~~~

Red Green: If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

~~~

Mike Hammer: I like to listen to the sound of my own heart when I'm... jogging away from things.

~~~

The "Men Anonymous" pledge: I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess.

 

 

Friends

Joey: All right, Rach, the big question is, does he like you? All right? Because if he doesn't like you, this is all a moo point.

Rachel: A moo point?

Joey: Yeah, it's like a cow's opinion. It just doesn't matter. It's moo.

Rachel: Have I been living with him for too long, or did that all just make sense?

~~~

Ross: I don't know what I'm gonna do. What am I gonna do? I mean, this, this is like a complete nightmare!
Chandler: Oh, I know, this must be so hard. “Oh no, two women love me! They're both gorgeous and sexy! My wallet's too small for my fifties. And my diamond shoes are too tight!”

~~~

Chandler: Hey, you know, I have had it with you guys and your "cancer" and your "emphysema" and your "heart disease." The bottom line is smoking is cool and you know it.

~~~

Ross: So, uh, what did the insurance company say?
Chandler: Oh, they said uh, "You don't have insurance here, so stop calling us."

~~~

[flipping a coin to choose between ducks and clowns]
Joey: Okay, uh... Ducks are “heads,” because ducks have heads.
Chandler: What kind of scary-ass clowns came to your birthday parties?
~~~

Phoebe: Hey! Why isn’t it Spiderman?  You know, like, Goldman, Silverman...

Chandler: Cause it’s not his last name.

Phoebe: It isn’t?

Chandler: It’s not, like, like, Phil Spiderman.  He’s a Spider Man.  You know, like, uh, like Goldman is a last name, but there’s no Gold Man.

Phoebe: Oh, okay. There should BE a Gold Man!

~~~

Chandler: I can handle it. Handle’s my middle name. Well actually, it's the middle part of my first name.

~~~

Phoebe: No, I definitely don't like the name Ross.
Ross: What a weird way to kick me when I'm down.

~~~
Joey: I hate [Ralph Lauren] underwear. One time I bought a pair marked XS. And let me tell you, there's no room for anything excess in there.

~~~

Monica: Come on, Chandler, the Miami Vice soundtrack? Really?
Chandler: They were just giving it away at the mall...in exchange for money.

~~~

Phoebe: Okay, look, before you even start, I'm not denying evolution, okay? I'm just saying that it's one of the possibilities.

Ross: It's the only possibility, Phoebe.

Phoebe: Okay, Ross, could you just open your mind like this much, okay? Wasn't there a time when the brightest minds in the world believed that the world was flat? And, up until like what, 50 years ago, you all thought the atom was the smallest thing, until you split it open, and this like, whole mess of crap came out. Now, are you telling me that you are so unbelievably arrogant that you can't admit that there's a teeny tiny possibility that you could be wrong about this?

Ross: There might be...a teeny...tiny...possibility.

Phoebe: I can't believe you caved.

Ross: What?

Phoebe: You just abandoned your whole belief system!! I mean, before, I didn't agree with you, but at least I respected you. How, how, how are you going to go into work tomorrow? How, how are you going to face the other science guys? How, how are you going to face yourself?

[Ross slowly closes the briefcase and walks out hugging it]

Phoebe: Oh, that was fun. So who's hungry?

~~~

Monica: You know Phoebe, a heart attack is nature's way of telling you to slow down.
Chandler: I thought a heart attack was nature's way of telling you to die.

~~~

Joey: Hey, why can't we use the same toothbrush, but we can use the same... soap.
Chandler: Because soap is soap! It’s self-cleaning.
Joey: All right, well the next time you take a shower, think about the last thing I wash, and the first thing that you wash!

 

 

Moonlighting

Maddie Hayes: Wipe that stupid grin off your face.
David Addison: This is the smartest grin I know.

~~~

Maddie: That man belongs in a pound.
Agnes: Pound of what?

~~~

David: I know who he is, he paints naked girls.
Maddie: Nudes.
David: Nudes, right. Nakeds have staples in them

~~~

Maddie: Well, let me remind you Mr. Addison, that one case does not a detective make.
David: Well, let me remind you Ms. Hayes, that I HATE IT WHEN YOU TALK BACKWARDS.
~~~

Maddie: David, may I please have some ANSWERS?!
David: Delaware, all of the above, 90 degrees.

~~~

David: Do bears bear? Do bees be?



The Kids in the Hall

Gunslinger: I once shot a man just to watch him die. Then I got distracted and missed it.

~~~

Mr. Tyzyk: I'm crushing your head, yuppie. Squish, Squish! Where do you idiots come from to get your heads so terribly crushed?

~~~

Filipino kid: You are American?

Tourist: No, I'm a Canadian. It's like an American, but without the gun.

~~~

Bruce: The only thing worse than having a job is looking for one.

~~~

Kevin: To good friends!

Scott: To good times!

Bruce: To ritualistic murders!

All: To Reg!

~~~

Wife: I'm sorry, Santa, but we don't want any children, so screw you and the deer you rode in on!

~~~

"Scott Thompson: Use as directed."

~~~

Manservant Hecubus: I'm ready to serve you, Master...aaand Satan!

~~~

Sir Simon Milligan: Yes, I am a man possessed by many demons... Polite demons who would open the door for a lady carrying too many parcels, but demons nonetheless! Yes, I have walked along the path of evil many times. It's a twisting curving path, that actually leads to a charming block garden, but beyond that evil!

~~~

Cabbage Head: I don't mean this to sound like a come-on line, but does anyone here want to have sex?

~~~

Kevin: I'm not gay. But then again I never used to like asparagus, but now I do.

~~~

Buddy Cole: She let me pet her cat. [aside] If you think I going to make a pussy joke, you're sadly mistaken!

~~~

Announcer: 29 Helens Agree.

All: Promptness is important!

Helen Roritor: I just wish Helen Forneay felt that way.

Helen Morrisey: Look. Here she comes.

[Helen runs up and joins the back row; Helens nod, then slowly turn to glare as one at Helen]

Announcer: 29 Helens Agree. Promptness is important.

~~~

Cop: Why would anyone abandon a perfectly good potato?

~~~

Dave: The difficult thing about being a mass murderer isn't the murdering part. It's the mass past.

~~~

Man: God IS dead. And here is the body to prove it.

~~~

Announcer: 30 Helens Can't Agree.

[Helens argue vehemently]

Helen Vernando: Hey! Can't we just agree to disagree?

[Helens stop yelling and nod to one other]

Announcer: 30 Helens Agree... To Disagree.

 

 

Sports Night

Dan Rydell: We bring you the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat, and because it’s soccer, the sheer pointlessness of a zero-zero tie.

~~~

Casey McCall: If you had half as much fun watching this show as we did making it, well, then we had twice as much fun making the show as you did watching it.

~~~

Dan: You're nineteen feet tall. Why are you wearing heels?

Sally: Do you feel diminutive?

Dan: No, but now I have to look up that word.

~~~

Dan: I will not be the subject of your mockery!

Casey: Oh, I think you shall!

~~~

Casey: Can we be men for a second?

Dan: Okay, but just a second.

~~~

Dan: They say it's always calmest before the storm. That's not true. I'm a serious sailor. It isn't calm before the storm. Stuff happens.

 

 

Mystery Science Theater 3000

Tom Servo: What do you think the lesson of the movie was?
Crow T. Robot: Don't watch it.

~~~

Crow: Can we agree that from now on, films have to be made by FILMMAKERS?

~~~

Tom Servo: If you only see 10,000 movies this year, make sure this isn't one of them.

~~~

Crow: No fair! You can't flash back to stuff we saw ten seconds ago!

~~~

Tom Servo: I see the movie has finally thrown up its hands and said, "I just don't know."

~~~

Crow: I want to hurt this movie, but I can never hurt it like it hurt me.

~~~

Crow: The only response to this film is pure, unbridled hate.

~~~

Mike Nelson: You know, this movie can be used to induce vomiting.

~~~

Tom Servo: You know, just because you CAN edit doesn't mean you SHOULD.

~~~

Tom Servo: Gee, even the movie "The Fog" didn't have this much fog.

~~~

Crow: I have my doubts that this movie is actually "starring" anybody. More like "camera is generally pointed at."

~~~

Crow: Oh sweet information superhighway, what bring you me from the depths of cyberspace?

~~~

Joel Robinson: Iowa State College: the high school after high school!

~~~

Crow: What's the point of a helmet in skydiving?  In case you land on your head?

~~~

Mike Nelson: Wench-jacking was a big problem in the Middle Ages.

~~~

Mike Nelson: Man, infants are such babies.

~~~

Mike Nelson: In the future, geese will be rocket-powered.

~~~

Crow: Thrill as they listen really hard!
Tom Servo: Marvel as they listen even harder!

~~~

Crow: Is the first stage of grief pure unbridled joy?

~~~

Crow: Staring at the window for five hours finally paid off.

~~~

Tom Servo: Uh-oh. Hilarity, guys. Not since the pie-fight scene in "The Great Race"...
Crow: Not since the mudslide scene in "McClintock"...
Joel Hodgson: Not since the wagon race scene in "The Hallelujah Trail"...
Crow: Not since the chess-playing scene in "The Seventh Seal"...
Tom Servo: Not since the orgy scene in "Caligula"...
Joel Hodgson: Huh?
Crow: What?
Tom Servo: Um... well, hilarity, anyway.

 

Futurama

Leela: Now strip naked and get on the probulator. 

~~~

Bender: Bite my shiny metal ass.

~~~

Cop: Come out with your hands up!  We have you partially surrounded!

~~~

Zapp Brannigan: We need rest.  The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised.

~~~

Professor: Ah, to be young again.  And a robot.

~~~

[Leela punches Zapp in the face]

Zapp Brannigan: Let’s do that again, only a little lower and a lot softer.

~~~

Fry: I’m never gonna get used to the 31st century.  Caffeinated bacon?  Baconated grapefruit??  Admiral Crunch?!

~~~

Professor: Oh, dear, I really ought to do something.  But I am already in my pajamas.

~~~

Bender: You know, Fry, of all the friends I’ve had, you’re the first.

~~~

Fry: Where’s your bathroom?

Bender: Bath what?

Fry: Bathroom.

Bender: What room?

Fry: Bathroom!

Bender: What what?

~~~

Bender: Friends?!  That activates my hilarity unit!

~~~

Leela: You can’t just sit here in the dark and listen to classical music.

Fry: I could have, if you hadn’t turned on the lights and shut off the stereo.

~~~

Bender: What kind of party is this?  There’s no booze and only one hooker!

~~~

Leela: Bender, why are you spending so much time in the bathroom?  Are you jacking on in there?

~~~

Announcer: Planet Express: Our crew is replaceable.  Your package isn’t.

Central Park Lake - Loitering Permitted, But Be Reasonable

~~~

Zapp Brannigan: I suffer from a very sexy learning disability.  What do I call it, Kif?

Kif: {sigh} Sexlexia.

~~~

Leela: I can be really impulsive.  It just takes me a while.

~~~

Nichelle Nichols: Eternity with nerds... It's the Pasadena Star Trek  Convention all over again.

~~~

Bender: Blackmail's such an ugly word.  I prefer extortion.  The X makes it sound cool.
