<p>@vitrac - “who are these men? I wanted to be a nurse” must be from The Verdict.</p>
<p>Also famous for Paul Newman muttering, “there is no other case, this is the case”.</p>
<p>Greenwitch–Thank you! Whew! I was beginning to wonder…</p>
<p>How about a line from a TV show:
"He was a real Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Heckyll "</p>
<p>From the same movie:</p>
<p>Countess: You are the greatest lover I have ever known.
Boris: Well, I practice a lot when I’m alone.</p>
<p>Natasha: I never want to get married. I just want to get divorced.</p>
<p>Boris: Isn’t all mankind ultimately executed for a crime it never committed? The difference is that all men go eventually, but I go six o’clock tomorrow morning. I was supposed to go at five o’clock, but I have a smart lawyer. Got leniency. </p>
<p>Soldier: God is testing us.
Boris: If He is going to test us, why doesn’t He give us a written?</p>
<p>Death: You are an interesting young man. We’ll meet again.
Boris: Don’t bother.
Death: It’s no bother.</p>
<p>Okay, that’s enough as I don’t want to get too far away from the format.</p>
<p>Woody Allen, Love and Death.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember Richard Gere…“I got nowhere else to go! I got nowhere else to go! I got nothin’ else…” </p>
<p>(gave a big hint naming the actor, huh?)</p>
<p>justamom, Is the Richard Gere one from “Officer and a Gentleman”?
Yes, my two quotes were from The Rookie. Loved your baseball quotes, bit outside from Major League and the lollygaggers from Bull Durham. Love the long one from Kevin Costner to Annie but I couldn’t begin to remember it.</p>
<p>sax, you cracked me up with the Mrs. Riley quote from “My Cousin Vinny”. One of the funniest movies ever. </p>
<p>To me, sometimes a line is memorable not necessarily because of the content, but the way it’s delivered, like the one about the guy getting fired from The Rookie. Also,</p>
<p>“Are you on drugs?”</p>
<p>I could discuss baseball quotes all day, but a couple of memorable ones to me:</p>
<p>“No Ray, it was you.”</p>
<p>“You’re killing me Smalls”. So funny to us because my son played with someone who had the last name Small, and he heard that all the time.</p>
<p>“No Ray, it was you.” – Field of Dreams?</p>
<p>“At least he is not a book burner, you Nazi cow.”</p>
<p>“Is this heaven? No, it’s Iowa.” (I’ve actually heard a sermon based on this quote, about the theological concept of heaven on earth.)</p>
<p>“Hey, what if the Voice calls while you’re gone?”
“Take a message.”</p>
<p>Yes, so many great quotes from that movie. And I know Kevin Costner isn’t the greatest actor, but he is absolutely at his best (and dreamiest!) in Field of Dreams and Bull Durham. I love the “No Ray, it was you.” quote, because you realize the “Ease his pain” quote is about him resolving his problems with his father. As many times as I’ve seen the movie, I can’t watch the end without tears.</p>
<p>Another one we like (please excuse if not exact quote, but the idea’s the same):
Ray: Him? Why does he get to go? I built this field! Not once did I ask what’s in it for me.
Shoeless Joe: What are you saying Ray?
Ray: I’m saying…What’s in it for me?</p>
<p>" You know, I’ve been all over the world … and you madame, are the UGLIEST thing I’ve seen." (and shows her what he’s been drawing on a napkin)</p>
<p>Kevin Costner was great in Field of Dreams then he screwed it all up with Dances with Wolves.</p>
<p>“I coulda had class, I coulda been a contender, I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, whuch is what I am…”</p>
<p>“I’m Buck Melanoma. Moley Russell’s wart.” :-)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Marlon Brando’s character, On the Waterfront</p>
<p>JustaMom, that is from Uncle Buck- one of my favorite quotes.</p>
<p>and one that many of our recent leaders seem to need to see:</p>
<p>“Never get involved in a land war in Asia…”</p>
<p>Booklady,</p>
<p>That’s right, Love and Death by Woody Allen. It may be considered a flawed movie because it had several tasteless jokes, but overall I thought it was the funniest movie ever made. Here are a few more lines I can never forget:</p>
<p>Boris: Of course there was Old Greggor and his son Young Greggor. Oddly enough, Young Greggor’s son was older than Old Greggor. Nobody could figure out how that happened. </p>
<p>Sonja: Boris, you can’t be serious, you’re talking about Mother Russia.
Boris: She’s not my mother. My mother’s standing right here, and she’s not gonna let her youngest baby get shrapnel in his gums. </p>
<p>Inbedikov: We’ll do it now (duel with pistols)… and to the death.
Boris: Oh no, I can’t do anything to the death. Doctor’s orders. You see, I have this ulcer condition, and death is the worst thing for it. </p>
<p>Sonja: Boris, you’re a coward!
Boris: Yes, but I’m a militant coward.</p>
<p>Boris: We have to take our possessions and flee. I’m very good at that. I was the men’s freestyle fleeing champion two years in a row. </p>
<p>Boris: Are you scared of dying?
Sonja: Scared is the wrong word. I am frightened of it.
Boris: Interesting distinction.</p>
<p>Sonja: Oh don’t, Boris, please. Sex without love is an empty experience.
Boris: Yes, but as empty experiences go, it’s one of the best. </p>
<p>Sonja: I know I could have been a better wife to you… kinder. I could have made love with you more often… or once, even.
Voskovec: Once would have been nice.</p>
<p>Austinareadad, your quotes are so…intellectual-sounding. 
I feel a little inferior & shallow responding with something like:</p>
<p>“What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is a-goin’ on here??”</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>“That boy is a P-I-G pig.”</p>
<p>JustaMom, it’s funny that you say that because Woody Allen in the movie, as he makes repeated allusions to Russian literature and to metaphysics (always intentionally bumbling or twisting them), pokes fun at pretentious, overly intellectual movies.</p>
<p>Ok, who says these lines, and who is the “American”? </p>
<p>"Do look. Oh, look! Look at that ridiculous American monstrosity they’ve given the child. What do they call them? Knickerbocker glories. Oh! It’s amazing. They can even vulgarize ice cream. "</p>
<p>“Americans just simply don’t understand picnics!” </p>
<p>"That’s typically American. Keep out of trouble and tell other people to keep their chins up. "</p>
<p>The American: “Are you trying to get rid of me?”
the respondent: " Absolutely."</p>
<p>JustaMom, the Wide World of Sports line, “Blazing Saddles”? And the P-I-G one is “Grease”?</p>
<p>Chief Gillespie: (angry) “Virgil, right now it would give me a world of pleasure to horsewhip you!”
Det. Tibbs: (laughing) “My dad used to say that, even did it a few times.”
Chief Gillespie: “Well not enough to suit me!”</p>
<p>and…</p>
<p>“I won’t be the fall guy; I won’t play the fool for you!.. Sorry baby, I’m not buying.” BLAM!!!</p>
<p>“Walter, you’re all washed up.”</p>
