My mother says "you'll both work in the store" from a Sinatra movie she can't remember the name of.

I sometimes say "round up the usual suspects" from Casablanca, and also, referring to movies like Cold Mountain and the English Patient, I like to mix up other lines as "I guess the problems of the whole world don't amount to a hill of beans compared to the desires of two little people".

I used that "round up the usual suspects" line on my kids just yesterday. It's like the line from Animal Farm (I read the book but I just checked IMDb--it was an animated movie in 1954.) "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."

Some of the Roald Dahl stories made into film have particularly good lines. Rowan Atkinson in The Witches looking for a mouse in the cook's pants quips "I don't see much of anything."

It is scary how many lines we use from movies.   Amos remined me of how many times I've used the "failure to communicate" line on my son. When the movie was on I made him (begrudingly) watch that scene.   

Use the "stinkin badges" line all the time whenever I'm asked- although I don't joke with the security gurads at my office anymore after 9/11.   Also use "round up the usual suspect" a lot and "I'm shocked, simply shocked to see that gambling is going on here" Casablanca certainly gave us a number of lines- "here's looking at your kid"

I also use the line "I have one word for you...plastics" from the Graduate.   From Arnold I use "hasta la vista baby" and "I'll be back"   You know that Arnold, Tom Cruise and Sylvester Stallone were making a movie about classical conductors.   Cruise was going to play Mozart and Stallone would play Beetoven. Arnold said "I'll be Bach" Sorry about that- I couldn't resist.   I use the "I'll be Bach" line at a lot of contra dances when you have a trail buddy.

So- "Here's looking at you kid, it's the stuff dreams are made of"

One of my faves is Kate Hepburn's line from The African Queen: after their little boat has capsized on the lake after everything else they've been through, they've been picked up by Theo Bikel (the German ship's captain), and he claims she's lying about their trip because it is just not possible to do -- her succinct, comprehensive "Nevahth'less" wipes me out.

And "Whatever suits you just tickles me plunb to death" from The Rounders, with Henry Fonda and Glenn what's-his-face. My hubby and I use this one often.

There have been several appropriate occasions for "This is reality, Greg", from E.T. too.

I know I haven't got the quote exactly right, but I use the following a lot (drawled by Olivia Dukakas, Steel Magnolias): "My dear, that which distinguishes us from the lower orders of the animal kingdom is our ability to accessorize." I think she also was responsible for, "If you can't say anything good about anyone, come and sit by me."

I also like that hobbit line from LOTR 1 (Merry? Pippin?) when they arrive in their first human pub and realize, "It cumz in PINTS???? !!!!!" Plus, of course, the look of complete heavenly amazement as they embrace a bucket of beer...

Plenty of lines from Casablanca - mostly "Listen kid, the problems of three little people don't add up to a hill of beans in this crazy world."
And a few from Withnail and I: "I feel unusual," "then the fucker shall rue the day...", "I want the finest wines know to man, I want them here and I want them now" and, of course, "Monty, you terrible c*nt!"
Our nine-year-old spent an entire week declaiming: "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" so that has lost its lustre.
At the moment, though, there's a truly awful series of ads on UK TV for an insurance company featuring the ghastly Michael Winner. Said nine-year-old keeps quoting it, particularly the line: "Calm down, it's a commercial," and I feel he may never be a ten-year-old if he carries on!

There's also the phenomenon of movies that say things you say. My 7-yr-old son referred to my beer as Dad's precious little root-beers. It became a thing, then it turned up as a line in Dickie Roberts Child Star.

There was a line in Ali, same deal, but I can't remember what it was now. Will have to watch that scene again.

Also, unconscious quotes. At work I offered the carpet cleaner named Butch, who we called Bootch (as in So tell me Bootch what does it feel like to keel a man? from Pulp fiction) a cup of coffee while he was there working. He got a cup and said Good coffee! You get that gourmet stuff! Also sort of from Pulp fiction.

Movie linkages. Last two videos I watched were High Noon, and the episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry David does a bit--It's a good thing there weren't answering machines back when the Sheriff was trying to round up a posse. Everybody would be screening.

We use "It isn't the years, it's the mileage" a lot too, and the "snakes." I think everyone in America uses "Frankly, my dear..." or its variants. We also use:
"What's the point of keeping a dwarf if he doesn't do chores?"
   Henry Fonda, "On Golden Pond"
"Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a -----" (fill in as needed)
   Doc "Bones" from Star Trek, most episodes or films
"It's twoo! It's twoo!"
   Madeline Kahn, "Blazing Saddles"
"Now that's a knife!"
   Paul Hogan, "Crocodile Dundee"

I don't see many movies and there are a bunch we use for which I do not recall the origin, some of which I see on this educational thread.
But whence "My, that is a big one"?

A story relating how I once used a line from a Will Smith movie, and in what particulars of circumstance.

   I went to watch my son in a school Quick Recall match with another school, but the Guest school cancelled, and our school, King Elementary, decided to hold a practice. A Mom and I were sitting there to watch, and were invited to play along in practice, on opposite sides, to fill out the teams. I thought, well, okay, but didn't plan to buzz in to answer, really, it was for the kids to practice.

Then the Mom buzzed in to spell "blue". Even her team-mates, the kids, were complaining that they wanted the harder questions, at this point. I sat by "King Anna" the queen of Quick Recall, called King Anna because they call you by your school name and first name.

The Mom buzzed in to recite the musical alphabet CDEFGC, but a dispute on the buzzer arose, Anna recited ABCDEFG, and said the mom had said "C" twice. The Mom replied that she had done it in the key of C, and that if little Anna was going to start with "A" it should be ABC#DEF#G#!!!

I said to Anna "I can't believe she went THERE on you, Anna", got up, took off my jacket, rolled my sleeves, and sat down to play. We threw out the disputed question and scored 87 to 34 against the Mom's side, and our friendship has suffered thereafter.

My better half thought that she would use a movie quote to bring an end to one our disagreements. She pulled herself up to her full height, folded her arms and said:

A line delivered by Kermit the Frog, from one of the early Muppet movies, but I can't remember which. Kermit is alone in a swamp. He takes aim at a fly, his tongue lashes out, and he misses. He mutters something about "that sort of thing happens when you aren't as young as you used to be," which is a good line in itself, but I can't remember exactly how he phrased it. Anyway, Dom De Luise drops by and they get to talking. Finally, De Luise takes his leave, saying "I've got to catch a plane to Los Angeles." In an aside, Kermit says, "Not with that tongue, you're not!"

I'm still waiting for an appropriate opportunity to use it.

From "Tremors". Usually use it when I get a mosquito before she gets me.


"Never mind the phones, Heinrich."

From "Das Boot". Usually use it when some project goes south and you know you're about to get depth charged. Says a lot about not needing to be too technological when you can already hear the destroyer's screws overhead.


"You'd think that sometime, the dam surf would just lay off for a little while".

From "Mr. Hobbs Take a Vacation". Jimmy Stewart says it when trying to get to sleep after a tumultuous day late in a beach vacation, after he had raved about the pleasant sound of the surf earlier in the vacation.


"Barn swallow".

Also from Mr. Hobbs, stated by his son-in law's boss who has taken Mr. Hobbs out bird watching for the first time, when Hobbs keeps thinking he's spotted some exotic new species. We use this one often while bird watching.


"He was your what, Miss Paquette? He was your WHAT, Miss Paquette?!"

From "Anatomy of a Murder". Used when talking about verbal land mines people are about to trigger.



"Goddammit, Grady, I am the President!"

From "Fail Safe". USed when you're trying to clinch an arguement with someone who fails to see the power of your own logic.

Thanks for the reminder of Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation. In general that was a movie that tried a little to hard to be hip when all of the beach movies were coming out, but it had some great lines, and I liked Maureen and Jimmy. He has a great soliloquy to a lightbulb in there, about it being so dim "they should call it a 'dark' instead of a 'light'." There were some old pointy bulbs like that at my great aunt's house many years ago when we settled her estate. I've always regretted not picking up a couple just for old time's sake.
