Quotes you use all the time

[Dirx]

We all have them. Little quotes here and there, from your favourite movies or shows or books, that you can't help but repeat often. Sometimes without even realizing it. Here are some of mine:

Hot Fuzz
"Fascist!" "Hag!" - I can't hear the former without repeating the latter. Ever.
"The greater good." - Similarly, whenever I hear this, I have an irresistible urge to repeat it in a cultish monotone.
"Policemanofficer." - God help me if I ever get pulled over again.

Hook
"I've just had an apostrophe" and "Lightning just struck my brain." - Whenever I have a sudden apostrophe epiphany.
"Bangarang" - _{I, usually use this when use this when no one else can hear me.}

Jurassic Park
"Must go faster!" - Ok, this one I tend to think more than say. Usually in response to looking at the time and realizing that despite my speeding, I'm probably still going to be late.
"Clever girl..." - When someone or something (often inanimate, even) unexpectedly gets the better of me.
"Hold on to your butts." - Self explanatory, if you know the movie. Whenever I'm about to try something that might spectacularly backfire.
"Mr. Hammond, I think we're back in business!" - Whenever something that in all likelihood should have backfired comes off without an apparent hitch.
"Stick! Stick! Stick, stupid! Go fetch the stick!" - Teasing the dogs is fun.

Finding Nemo
Almost any Dory-ism. The names Nemo, Bingo, Fabio, Chico, and Harpo are now interchangeable; "escape" is now always pronounced "esscappay," etc.
"Boat? I saw a boat!" - whenever I have a brainfart moment.
"I'm obnoxious!" - Self explanatory, I should think.

Rookie of the Year
"Funky... buttloving!" - said by the doctor when he gets beaned in the face by the kid's arm. I usually default to this when I shouldn't quite spew my typical R-rated expletives.

Ice Age
Like Dory in Finding Nemo, most quotes by Sid wind their way into my repertoire.
"No thanks, I choose life." - When faced with suggestions that promise nothing but mortal peril. Like my friend's suggestion to go 'adventure caving.'
"I'm fine! I'm fine _{I'm gonna die!}" - When I'm finally ready to admit I do not have the situation under control.
"I don't like this cat; he reads minds." - When someone displays eerie mind-reading abilities.


I've got plenty more, but it's getting late, and I've already scared myself with how many I've gotten down so far. Let's hear some of yours!

[GreyCloud9]

Leilo and Stitch: calling someone a "stupid head"
pointing at something and saying "eh"
saying in a reverent and serious voice "he controls the weather"

[Zombies!]

Aliens:
"I'm state of the motherfuckin' badass art!"
"Game over man!" - Commonly used to tell Hudson we're not playing fetch any more
"Nuke it [the site] from orbit. It's the only way to be sure"

Hot Fuzz:
"Damn Hoodies"

Silent Hill (Video Game)
"It was foretold, by gyromancy!"

Of course, there's a Simpson's quote for every occasion as well...

[Salambo]

Yay! "The Greater Good" is one of my favourites. I try to use it at inappropriate times.

Also from Hot Fuzz:

"He's fuck-ugly." - used for almost anyone.

"You cook any fools?" - when someone starts to tell me about their day.

"That's just grossly inappropriate." - used for everything.

"I'm not made of eyes!" - when asked if I saw something, or how could I miss something.

"What a gaylord!" (must be said with the same accent and inflection and utter schoolboy glee) - for nearly anything. Or anyone.

Snatch also has some great ones that are fairly easy to slip into everyday conversation, if timed right:

"No thanks, Turkish, I'm sweet enough." - all purpose, but usually if I'm offered something sweet.

"Save yer breath fer coolin' yer porridge." - when I wave someone off.

"Sneaky fuckin' Russian." - anyone, anytime.

"Zee Germans?" - when confused.

I don't remember where I got this, but I feel like it must have been Pulp Fiction. Usually when asked why my husband wants to be a cop, I respond:

"So he can chill them crackers out."

Futurama:

Whenever anyone other than my husband says "[Salambo], I love you!" I always respond, automatically: "Shut up, baby, I know it!"

"No fair! You changed the outcome by measuring it!" - whenever I disagreed with my boss about something.

"Do you have an extra Goto 10 line?" - usually thought to myself, unless I think they'll get it. Not often.

ETA: Damn, forgot The Office:

"I had an epiphery." - all the time. That word is ruined for me.

"I hate so much about the things that you choose to be." - when I'm mad at the world. Or sometimes someone specific.

...no, I can't get into this. There are too many Michael-isms to even begin. And Dwight-isms. Hell, Packer-isms.

[Harry]

"What we have here, Sheriff, is a failure to communicate." I usually leave out the word sheriff.

[Zombies!]

The Mighty Boosh:
"This is an outrage!" - Used whenever something is mildly inconvenient, said in a weird old man voice (Tony Harrison ftw!)
"I didn't know he was an alabaster retard!"

[Higgs Boson]

Hah, I came in to post these. You have to say 'Clever girl' in that gravelly seasoned-hunter voice, too.

There's also 'keep it secret, keep it safe' from LOTR, which is used, accompanied by my Deadly Serious Face, when I hand someone something of little or no consequence.

And of course, 'Laugh it up, fuzzball' - when animals look pleased about my misfortunes, which is frequently.

[Sleeps With Butterflies]

Arrested Development

• I've made a huge mistake
• COME ON!
• I find myself singing Franklin's song a lot "It ain't easy bein' whiiiite....."

Dumb & Dumber

• Anytime someone says "KICK HIS ASS" I have to repeat it with "KICK HIS ASS, SEABASS!"
• If I'm talking about Colorado I have to say "That John Denver is full of shit, man"

Raising Arizona

• If a frog had wings, it wouldn't bump its ass a- hoppin'
• When saying fiance I often pronounce it fy-ance

[I, Claudiot]

South Park - That has got to be the most ridiculous load of pig crap I have ever heard!

[sturmhauke]

Highlander:
"What does 'baffled' mean? What does 'incompetent' mean?" - said when someone looks confused, does something stupid, or says one of those words
"There can be only one!" said when watching or doing a one-on-one competition

The Matrix:
"Whoa." - said when something like totally blows your mind, dude
"I know kung fu." - said when someone knows kung fu, or some other form of literal or metaphorical ass-kicking
"Why oh why didn't I take the blue pill?" - said upon realizing the true sucky nature of something

the Warcraft games:
"daboo" "zug zug" "loktar" - said at random, or when acknowledging something
"Now I'm hungry." - said when hungry
"This way! No, that way!" - said when arguing over directions
"Who wants to sing? <horrible off-key screeching>" - said when someone sings really badly

[I, Claudiot]

"And if I laugh at any mortal thing
'Tis merely that I may not weep"
-Lord Byron

[Colonel Plink]

From The Good Guys: "I can feel it tingling in my loins."

Or almost any quote from Dan Stark. Or any reference to Dan Stark. I call my sunglasses my "Dan Starks". When I'm going to pick up my daughter at daycare, I put on my Dan Starks and head out to "Bust some punks."

[Wolf Larsen]

I think most have already been mentioned, but a few favorites are:

"You're gonna need a bigger boat" from Jaws, said when a cow-orker has underestimated a task.

"Nuke 'em from orbit" from Aliens when I think someone is doing a task in an inefficient manner.

"Are ya feelin' luck?" from Dirty Harry to express mild annoyance with someone or when I think something is going to turn out badly.

[Doyle]

Kenny Powers - "I gotta get my fuck on."

[Auntbeast]

I'm a baker, which means that the timer goes off on the ovens all day. Invariably, right when I'm eithe r almost finished with something, or slap dab in the middle of something messy.

"I'm comin' 'lisabeth!"
"one ringy ding, two ringy dingy"

My quotes send spell check into conniption fits.

[blank]

More from the Boosh...

I'm Old Gregg whenever anyone asks who I am
The Soup Song sung with daughter when we make soup
I've eight of something- general usage.
Would you like a pie? Said in the right accent when offering anyone a pie.

[Parthenokinesis]

From Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

"So much time, so little to do." Whenever I'm overbusy
"I said good day." When a conversation needs to be over
"Help. Police. Murder." When a panicky person needs me to do something

From Boondock Saints

"Continue the joke." Whenever someone winds down in the middle of a story
"I can't believe that just happened" In response to the ridiculous occurance
"Well. Freud was right." Whenever anyone uses a wrong word.

[The Futility of Nihilism]

I'll actually say, "Strike that. Reverse it." along with the appropriate hand gestures when I accidentally (or accidentally-on-purpose) say something backwards like that.

"Run away!" from you-know-where, whenever a retreat is in order.

[Salambo]

Oh, yeah, from the IT Crowd, one for sure:

"People. What a bunch of bastards!" - if my husband is within earshot of my even saying the word people in just the right tone, he'll finish it with me.

Quotes, hell, hubby usually points out that Roy has a few of the same shirts as I do (though I think it's only two that I've seen so far: 42 (mine's reversed; blue with yellow), and the cake is a lie. I have my own array of geek T-shirts).

A couple few more good ones we use a lot in this household:

"The SHOES-AH" - anything pertaining to shoes.
"That'd be trouser food." - anytime we're at a restaurant and any of the staff laughs.
"I'm disabled!" - too many opportunities to use this one. All the time.
Along the same lines: "Red-bearded man."
"SPEAK PRIEST!" - anytime.
"I've fallen to the communists..." - during that time of the month. Haven't been able to use it for a while. Hurry up, kid.
"The elders of the internet..." - used whenever I inform my husband of something in the news or some new development or even something I read here when he asks where I've heard it.

[Metallic Squink]

I have lots but these are the ones I can think of now.

From Ron Burgundy, when I don't understand something:
"You know I don't speak Spanish!"

From Nick Swardson's stand up:
"Nicholas! You should fight crime!" which is what his grandmother says when he lifts a gallon of milk into the air. I'll say this when I'm impressed by something silly my kids or my husband does.

He tells a story about his little nephew (or some kid) going through all his Pokemon cards and explaining every one. So then he takes the kid into the bathroom and explains about all his vitamins and hair products and says "See how that feels." I'll say that whenever my husband is doing something annoying but is something he says I do as well.

[Zeener Diode]

From Shrek (although it has older origins): "Thanks! I'm here all week! Try the veal!"

Krusty the Klown: "What the hell was THAT?"

Michael Scott: "That's what she said!"

Dirty Harry: "Thanks, that's mighty white of you." (I use that with care.)

John McLain (Die Hard): "Yippy ki yay, m---f---er." (This works as a greeting or departure.)

When I'm helping someone lift or carry something heavy, I use this quote from Ah-nold's movie Raw Deal: "Remember, Sully, this is my bad arm" (Yeah, I butcher Arnie's accent when I say it.)

[Taur]

That's just as well, Harry, because the actual quote is "What we've got here is...failure to communicate."

I use it, too. Not to mention "Nobody can eat fifty (okay, I pronounce it 'fiddy') eggs."

[Red Skeezix]

Super Troopers:

"That little guy? I wouldn't worry about that little guy."

"Eat the soap, rook! Make him look like a dick!"

"I'm gonna pistol whip the next asshole who says shenanigans."

"What are you gonna do, set my country music award on fire?"

"I don't want a large farva, I want a god damned liter of cola!"

Lock Stock and Two smoking barrels:

"It's me bren gun!"

Dave Attel:

"But that pussy ain't retarded!"

"Eat before you go!"

"That was when I realized ___ isn't a superhero, he's just a drunk in a cape."

Oh man, me too, on both of them. All the time.


A few others:

Macbeth
"Out, damn spot!" - Whenever I'm trying to clean out an incredibly stubborn stain of some sort. Especially if it's blood.

Contact
"I'm okay to go... okay to go..." - When I'm waiting on someone/something else to hurry the hell up and let me get moving on something.


Also, when I'm with one of my friends, he and I will quote Weird Al's Albuquerque incessantly whenever a reference can be made. And there are a great many references that can be made.

I know that many people in this thread probably don't post here anymore, but the only place I found this phrase is on this message board and in the famous I burning your dog thread on the dope. So if you've been wondering this all these years you can rest easier now!
