Movie Quotes in Everyday Life

[alyosha]

One of my favorite threads from FT...

I try to, as frequently as possible and even if not applicable, say "Put a cork in it, Zane" from Zoolander. And generally, my best friend will reply, "Listen to your friend Billy Zane. He's a cool dude."

[preciosa]

I always quote Heathers

"What's your damage Heather?" and "Well fuck me gently with a chainsaw." have woven their way into my vocabulary with ease.

My brother used to stay home "sick" from school and watch The Princess Bride over and over in lieu of soap operas and other daytime dreck. Consequently, the dialog, she is memorized.

Now "good night, sleep well, I'll most likely kill you in the morning" is more common than plain old "good night."

Our birth certificates claim we're 28 and 30, but we're actually 10 and 12.

foxy, my brother and I also are forever quoting lines from movies whenever we get together. Lately it's been a whole lot of Napoleon Dynamite. "Come get your dinner, Tina, you fat lard." "I am going to build her a cake." And, the always useful, "GOSH!" Of course, the "Vote for Pedro" t-shirt that I ordered for myself and the "Give me your tots!" one that I got for my brother just came in the mail the other day. Heh.

Every time I finish cleaning the house, I say, "This house is clean" in the same way as the lady in Poltergeist.

My mom gets so mad when my brother and I really get started with the lines. She inevitably will say, "Stop quoting movies!" Which always leads us to quote "Pine nuts. Red pistachio nuts. All-natural white pistachio nuts......" "Harlan Pepper, you stop namin' nuts!" Then my mom rolls her eyes and we collapse in hysteria.

Yes, we're 12 too.

Whenever I finish washing the dishes, I always say, "The dishes are done, man!" like Keith Coogan from Don't Tell Mom, the Babysitter's Dead.

A classic response for, "Speak for yourself," is, "Do you think I'd speak for you? I don't even know your language," from the very quotable The Breakfast Club.

[Brookie]

From Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - "I couldn't do that. Could you do that? Who ARE those guys??".

I feel you, joeyandlucasmom. I don't even realize I'm quoting Napoleon Dynamite half the time. I'm always telling my husband to move his stuff because there's no room for my nunchucks. I have no need for adjectives anymore, everything is "sweet."

Thank God I don't know anyone named Tina, or she'd have serious self-esteem issues from being called a "fat lard" every ten seconds.

Love, love, LOVE this line!! One of my guilty pleasure movies.

For me (though I never get to use it) is "I hate you & I hate your ass FACE!" Corky St. Clair in Waiting For Guffman. If only I could find a situation to use it.

Oh, that's one of my favorites!

I'm also fond of "THANKS FOR THE HAMBURGER!" from Showgirls. These've both become huge inside jokes between me and a couple friends.

Whenever I want to annoy my mother, all I gotta do is start with the Mommie Dearest quotes. Usually I start off with "Mommie...? Mommie...? MOMMIE?!" and when she gets mad at me for that, I follow up with "Don't. You. Act. For. Me." and by that time she's begging me to stop, so I usually continue with "SCRUB! SCRUB, CHRISTINA!" and, if she hasn't beaten me senseless by that point, I try to end with a "TINAAAAA! BRING ME THE AXE!" If Gramma isn't around, I'm good for a "Don't fuck with me, fellas! This ain't my first time at the rodeo!"

Drives Mom BATSHIT!

Hey, you can combine two movie quotes for a double whammy: "TINA! Bring me the AXE, you fat lard!"

Ah, my life, where have you gone?
