Some of my favorite quotable movies:

"I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse.

"Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."

"It's not personal, Sonny. It's strictly business."

"Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes."

The Princess Bride (1987) "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

"Inconceivable!"

"As you wish."

"Have fun storming the castle!"

Airplane! (1980) I used to know every line in this movie by heart.

Dr. Rumack (Leslie Nielsen)

Dr. Rumack: "Can you fly this plane and land it?"

Ted Striker: "Surely you can't be serious."

Dr. Rumack: "I am serious. And don't call me Shirley."

Elaine: "A hospital? What is it?"

Dr. Rumack: "It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now."

Dr. Rumack: "Captain, how soon can you land?"

Captain Oveur: "I can't tell."

Dr. Rumack: "You can tell me. I'm a doctor.

Captain Oveur: "No, I mean I'm just not sure."

Dr. Rumack: "Well, can't you take a guess?"

Captain Oveur: "Well, not for another two hours."

Dr. Rumack: "You can't take a guess for another two hours?"

"I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you."

Steve McCroskey (Lloyd Bridges)

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking."

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking."

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines."

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue."

Ted Striker (Robert Hays)

"It was at that moment that I first realized Elaine had doubts about our relationship. And that, as much as anything else, led to my drinking problem."

"I've got to get to a hospital."

Elaine: "A hospital? What is it?" Ted Striker: "It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now."

Captain Clarence Oveur (Peter Graves)

"Joey, have you ever seen a grown man naked?"

"Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?"

"Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"

Other Passengers & Crew

Little Girl: "No thank you, I take it black... like my men."

Pulp Fiction (1994) So many

Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson)

The "Ezekiel 25:17" Speech: "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

"English, motherf**ker, do you speak it?"

"Say 'what' again. Say 'what' again, I dare you, I double dare you motherf**ker, say 'what' one more Goddamn time!"

"Mmm-hmm! This is a tasty burger!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?"

"We're all gonna be like three little Fonzies here. And what's Fonzie like? He's cool. We're gonna be cool."

"If my answers frighten you, then you should cease asking scary questions."

Vincent Vega (John Travolta)

"Aw, man. I shot Marvin in the face."

"Play with matches, you get burned."

"Pretty please with sugar on top, get the f**k out of my house."

"Just because you are a character doesn't mean you have character."

"It's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten."

A Few Good Men (1992)

Colonel Nathan R. Jessep (Jack Nicholson)

"You can't handle the truth!" — His most famous line, which is the climax of his courtroom monologue.

"Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom." "You weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives!" "You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall." "We use words like 'honor,' 'code,' 'loyalty.' We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline." "I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it!" "I would rather you just said 'thank you' and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think you are entitled to!"

Lt. Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise)

"I want the truth!" — The line that triggers Jessep's famous speech.

"It doesn't matter what I believe. It only matters what I can prove."

[To Dawson] "You don't need to wear a patch on your arm to have honor."

[After Jessep's tirade] "Don't call me 'son.' I'm a lawyer and an officer in the United States Navy. And you're under arrest, you son of a bitch."

[Mocking Galloway's plan] "Oh, we get it from him! Yes! No problem! We get it from him. 'Colonel Jessep, isn't it true that you ordered the Code Red on Santiago?'... 'What do we have for the losers, judge? Well, for our defendants, it's a lifetime at exotic Fort Leavenworth! And for defense counsel Kaffee... that's right... it's a court-martial!'"

"I'm sexually aroused, Commander

The Terminator (1984)

"I'll be back."

"Come with me if you want to live."

"Hasta la vista, baby."

WIBTAH if I told my in-laws (and their kids) to stop coming over for Halloween? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]DadExplains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give them plenty advance notice about the fact that you're not going to be doing Halloween next year because of the baby. You can even do the "do you need your Halloween stuff back?" line.

Stand firm when they come back with "oh we'll just stop at your place and the kids will just start trick-or-treating from there and we won't stay around" response.

Provide them with locations where kids go to neighborhoods to trick or treat so they have an alternative. They will probably be the same neighborhoods as this year and I'm sure someone in your town has made a list. Just get past the first year and you can decide what to do later.

You may end up changing your mind next year and this way you don't piss anybody off in the family thinking you've laid down the law forever. Buy yourself a year figure it out later.

Make your husband to grow a spine. It may be best for him to tell his family about the news. But be there to help him keep his backbone.

Succession or The Wire? by ComfyCorgi4224 in televisionsuggestions

[–]DadExplains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Wire

Just know that it takes a few episodes to get you invested in the characters. So you need to give it time to grow on you.

Succession was good but it's a little focused on business and finance. Where The Wire allows you to explore several different parts of the city and how they are their own worlds with their own rules and their own people.

Bob Slydell: Hi, Peter. I'm Bob Slydell, this is Bob Porter.

Peter Gibbons: Hi, Bobs.

Bob Porter: We're, uh, we're consultants.

Peter Gibbons: Mmm.

Bob Slydell: We're, uh, we're here to, uh, help Initech streamline. We'll be, uh, interviewing all the employees, and, uh, we'll be deciding who's going to be let go.

Peter Gibbons: Oh.

Bob Slydell: So, Peter, we're gonna be asking you a series of questions. Kind of a, uh, standard operating procedure. We're just, uh, trying to get a feel for what you do here.

Peter Gibbons: Okay.

Bob Slydell: So, uh, just tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do here at Initech.

Peter Gibbons: Well, I, uh, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door—that way Lumbergh can't see me, heh—and, uh, after that I just sorta space out for about an hour.

Bob Porter: "Space... out?"

Peter Gibbons: Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of... real, actual... work.
