Temat: "Inspirational" Film Quotes

We've all been in situations where a film quote jumps into our head, proving perfectly suitable, and then we're pleased as punch. Or when a quote comes into our head and we bite our lip, as it definitely would not be suitable. I'll start:

Quite often, when we hire someone, as they sign the contract, I have an overwhelming urge to quote Ray Winstone from "Scum", and take the contract from them, saying "I'm the Daddy now!"

Temat: "Inspirational" Film Quotes

Oh man! There's only one Quote, the mother, the father and the secret lover of all quotes:

"You talkin' to me? Are you talkin' to ME?"

It jumps into my head when someone patronizes me, you know:

- Son, come here, will ya?
or
- Go get me this and that, sport, will ya?
or
- You should do what I say, 'cos I say so.

It jumps into my head very often, too often even. I'm terrorized that one day it may slip out and I'll be in deep s***... erm, trouble.

When I argue with someone I always think of a quote in Lock stock and two smoking barrels.

"It's a dog eat dog world, and I've got bigger teeth."

Jules in Pulp Fiction:
"Hamburgers. The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast."
... whenever I see the crap people at work eat for lunch. One day I'm just going to say that out loud.

And two quotes I actually often use:

From Duck Soup:
"You must have been vaccinated with a phonograph needle." To friends who talk too much :)

And my favorite:
"No uterus, no opinion." (Rachel in my fav show, Friends)

Temat: "Inspirational" Film Quotes

Normally, I'm a "can-do" kind of person, but often, this quote from "The Big Lebowski"* comes into my head:

"Nothing is fucked? The goddamn plane has crashed into the mountain!"

*Perhaps the most quoteable film in the world. Another favourite: "I'm staying. I'm finishing my coffee!"

Yea same with "Office space" so many qutables...

Peter Gibbons: So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.

Dr. Swanson: What about today? Is today the worst day of your life?

Peter Gibbons: Yeah.

Dr. Swanson: Wow, that's messed up.

The dialogue below gives me wings every time I watch "Billy Elliot":

EXAM BOARD MEMBER
Just one last question. Can I ask you, Billy:
What does it feel like when you're dancing?

BILLY
Don't know.
Sort of feels good.
It's sort of stiff and that...
...but once I get going...
...then I, like, forget everything...
...and...
...sort of disappear.
I sort of disappear.
Like I feel a change in me whole body.
Like there's a fire in me body.
I'm just there...
...flying...
...like a bird.
Like electricity.
Yeah...
...like electricity.

I can't cite one, but I can say that my brothers and sisters and I have something like an idioglossia based on these, like any friends do.

'Lock, stock and two smoking barrels'

Willie: That's Gloria.
Winston: Yes I know that's Gloria, what's that?
Willie: Fertilizer.
Winston: You went out six hours to buy a money counter and you come back with a semi-conscious Gloria and a pack of fertilizer. Alarm bells are ringing Willie.
Willie: We need fertilizer Winston.
Winston: Mmmhmm. We also need a money counter. This money's got to be out by Thursday, I'm buggered if I'm gonna count it. Just make sure if you do need to buy sodding fertilizer could be a bit more subtle.
Willie: What do you mean?
Winston: We grow copious amounts of ganja, yah. And you're carrying a wasted girl and a bag of fertilizer. You don't look like an average horti-fucking- culturalist! That's what I mean Willie.

Rory Breaker: If the milk turns out to be sour, I ain't the kinda pussy to drink it.

Eddie: They're armed.
Soap: What was that? Armed? What do you mean armed? Armed with what?
Eddie: Err, bad breath, colorful language, feather duster... what do you think they're gonna be armed with? Guns, you tit!

and many,many more ;]
