Movie Quotes in Everyday Life

[Sunnyhorse]

Not a day goes by in the Sunnyhorse household that you don't hear some Python:

"Help, help, I'm being repressed!" and "Come and see the violence inherent in the system!" (Monty Python and the Holy Grail; second quote generally gets used when our cats are brawling or the dogs are playing really hard and threatening to tear each other apart)

"Splitters!" and "How much do you _____? (Answer: A lot!) Right, you're in." (Life of Brian)

It's from Flying Circus, not one of the movies, but we call our cat Smudge a "tatty, scrofulous old rapist" because (a) he's a longhair and his undercarriage gets a bit scruffy looking when he's not brushed and (b) he likes to hump sweaters and other soft things.

I tell my son he's "A sad, strange little man" at least once a week (from Toy Story). He replies he is not Woody.

And my mother and I have found there is no situation that a quote from Auntie Mame cannot be used. And because I have watched that movie so much, my son also recognizes an Auntie Mame quote.

Albatross!

Sorry. My nephew loves to run around and scream "To infinity and beyond!!!" then run with his arms out...

OOOHHHH! Auntie Mame! My sister and I are fond of "Well my goodness, you could practically write a book about what happened to me..." "And she stepped on the ball- it was just ghastly!"


Of course, Spinal Tap is a gold mine, but I find myself reverting to John Hughes almost daily.

"I'm a member of Physics Club. We talk about physics- properties of ph-physics...."

"My mother really freaks out when I wear other peoples shoes."

And quite frequently, when I call my sister and get her voice mail, I quote Jake from Sixteen Candles and leave a message that says, " Oh, eat me!"

We could do this for days.

Old-school Star Wars is a goldmine for quotes in my family: "Who's scruffy-looking?" and "I can imagine quite a lot!" and of course "What a wonderful smell you've discovered!" comes in handy quite often.

"Surely you can't be serious!"
"I am serious, and don't call me Shirley."

Whenever I don't understand a document I'm reading (which happens a lot) I say "what is this? A center for ANTS?!" ala Derek Zoolander.

;D In our family it's a lot of "I think I'm getting the black lung, pa" whenever someone has a cough.

Everytime my phone rings I have to resist the urge to answer it with "God?"

Where did you get that DRESS, oh and that COAT, and those SHOES, they're AWFUL!

The closest I ever came to peeing myself in public was when one of my BFs, O Nancy My Nancy, and I were working together at the bookstore ten million years of this, and I said "What do you make of this?" and she grabbed it and exclaimed "You can make a HAT or a BROACH or a pterodactyl-"
