Favorite Movie Quotes

Some quotes from Trouble in Paradise, directed by Ernst Lubitsch, a 1932 film that has more wit and humor in 10 minutes than I've seen in the entirety of many comedy films. First, in a very swank hotel room, where an arch-criminal, posing as nobility, is speaking with a waiter about an upcoming date:

Waiter: Yes, Baron. What should we start with, Baron? Hmm?
Gaston: Oh yes. That's not so easy. Beginnings are always difficult.
Waiter: Yes, Baron.
Gaston: If Casanova suddenly turned out to be Romeo having supper with Juliet, who might become Cleopatra, how would you start?
Waiter: I would start with cocktails.

It later transpires that the elegant American lady coming to dinner is as crooked as the fake Baron, himself. Each is apparently so good at pickpocketing they could easily make any team in BG2:

Lily: I like you, Baron.
Gaston: I'm crazy about you. By the way, your pin. (He returns her brooch pin - after appraising it.)
Lily: (after suddenly noticing she's missing it) Thank you, Baron.
Gaston: Not at all. There's one very good stone in it.
Lily: What time is it? (She allows him to search for his pocket watch before looking startled. She hands it to him from her purse.) It was five minutes slow but I regulated it for you. (He pockets the watch with a smile.)
Gaston: I hope you don't mind if I keep your garter. (She checks her leg, under the table, and then Gaston holds the garter up high and kisses it to prove his expertise.)
Lily: Darling! (excitedly, she rises and kisses him, flinging herself into his arms) Oh now, darling. Tell me, tell me all about yourself. Who are you?
Gaston: You remember the man who walked into the Bank of Constantinople, and walked out with the Bank of Constantinople?
Lily: Monescu.
Gaston: Gaston Monescu.
Lily: Gaston!

One more. Later on, Gaston formulates a plan to enter the employ of the rich, young heir to the Colet fortune, and then rob her safe. He poses as a wealthy man who has lost his riches in the stock market crash, and is now looking for a position as a private secretary. It's plain, though, that sparks are flying:

Gaston/LaValle: In times like these when everything is uncertain, every conservative person should have a substantial part of his fortune within arm's reach.
Mme. Colet: Um, hmm. That sounds sensible. Hm, hmm. Yes. Very sensible. Very very clever.
Gaston/LaValle: Madame. I think you deserve a good scolding. First, you lose your bag.
Mme. Colet: Then I mislay my checkbook.
Gaston/LaValle: Then you use the wrong lipstick.
Mme. Colet: And how I handle my money.
Gaston/LaValle: It's disgraceful.
Mme. Colet: Tell me, Monsieur LaValle. What else is wrong?
Gaston/LaValle: Everything! Madame Colet, if I were your father, which fortunately I am not, and you made any attempt to handle your own business affairs, I would give you a good spanking (she turns toward him) - in a business way, of course.
Mme. Colet: What would you do if you were my secretary?
Gaston/LaValle: The same thing.
Mme. Colet: (She leans back provocatively and smiles sensuously.) You're hired.

Great fun, the whole movie. Now out (finally) on DVD, and well worth a viewing.

Some quotes from Back to the Future:

"If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything." -Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd)

"Shhhhhh. Of course. From a group of Libyan nationalists. They wanted me to build them a bomb, so I took their plutonium and in turn, gave them a shoddy bomb-casing full of used pinball machine parts! " -Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd)

"The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?" -Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd)

From Monty Python's The Life of Brian:

Brian: Please, please, please listen! I've got one or two things to say.
The Crowd: Tell us! Tell us both of them!

From Transformers (highlight for spoilers below)
(after Mojo the chihuahua urinates on Ironhide's foot)
Ironhide: A rodent has been detected in the vacinity. Shall I destroy it?
Sam 'Spike' Witwicky: No! No! This is a chihuahua. We love chihuahuas.
Ironhide: He's leaked lubricant on me.
Spike: He did? Bad Mojo! Bad!
Ironhide: Hugghh... This is gonna rust...

Ironhide: [brandishing large cannons] Parents are irritating... Should I take 'em out?
Optimus Prime: Ironhide, you know we don't harm humans!
Ironhide: I know, I'm just saying... it's an option...

(MAJOR ENDING SPOILERS!)
Optimus Prime: With the Allspark gone, we cannot return life to our planet. And fate has yielded its reward: a new world to call home. We live among its people now in plain sight, but watching over them in secret, waiting, protecting. I have witnessed their capacity for courage, and though we are worlds apart, like us, there's more to them than meets the eye. I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars: we are here, we are waiting.

From Coach Carter:

Coach Ken Carter: You shooting the ball, what's your name?
Jason Lyle: Jason Lyle, but I ain't no sir.
Coach Ken Carter: Oh, well are you a madam?

"When we step on the floor every second that clock is ticking, we are pedal to the metal, we run the ball, we pressure the ball, and most importantly we control the tempo of the game, we make them play Richmond Oiler ball." -Coach Ken Carter (Samuel L. Jackson)

"You really need to consider the message you're sending these boys by ending the lockout. It's the same message that we as a culture send to our professional athletes; and that is that they are above the law. If these boys cannot honour the simple rules of a basketball contract, how long do you think it will be before they're out there breaking the law? I played ball here at Richmond High 30 years ago. It was the same thing then; some of my teammates went to prison, some of them even ended up dead. If you vote to end the lockout, you won't have to terminate me; I'll quit." -Coach Ken Carter (Samuel L. Jackson)

Um--that's a very bland expression that's common in the US, or was, just a few years ago. Still is, in many areas.
