(if you want the original:

"...But I remember, when the fight was done,
When I was dry with rage and extreme toil,
Breathless and faint, leaning upon my sword,
Came there a certain lord, neat, and trimly dress'd,
Fresh as a bridegroom; and his chin new reap'd
Show'd like a stubble-land at harvest-home;
He was perfumed like a milliner;
And 'twixt his finger and his thumb he held
A pouncet-box, which ever and anon
He gave his nose and took't away again;
Who therewith angry, when it next came there,
took it in snuff; and still he smiled and talk'd,
And as the soldiers bore dead bodies by,
He call'd them untaught knaves, unmannerly,
To bring a slovenly unhandsome corse
Betwixt the wind and his nobility...")

"Oh dear, looks like you are horse fucked man" Wilfred Hyde White to Joseph Cotton in The Third Man. For you non fans of this classic film, Cotton, (Holly Martin) was in Vienna for a job, and when he arrived, his mentor, Harry Lime was reported dead. W.H. White said, "Oh, that is awkward."

I'd really enjoy being under a salty body of water not big enough to be called an ocean in a place where eight legged freaks grow their plants!

Doesn't have the same comercial appeal (though it might have back then, I wasn't yet born)!

If you build it, people will come from all over and stand in line and pay you money to see it and they will like it and tell all their friends about it.

I left my heart in that hilly town with cable cars

The sun will come out the next day

Singing in the precipitation

It's another day in the approximately ten block square

And, awaaaaay we leave

Fiddle dee dee, I'll think about that on the upcoming day

I'm ready for my up close and personal, Mr. de Mille!

I am talking about some of the famous lines that have lasted for decades. Movies, novels, TV and even songs.

Example,

"FRANKLY MY DEAR, I DON'T CARE"

"GET OUT OF TOWN BEFORE BRUNCH".

"THIS CITY ISN'T LARGE ENOUGH FOR THE BOTH OF US'

"WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE PITTSBURGH".

Anyone Else? Jeep
