What movie quotes do you use in everyday conversation?

[Nardies]

"Lord have mercy! God is my shepherd, and he knows what I want! Excuse me, Mrs. Parker? Mrs. Parker!"

Pastor Clever - Friday

Generally use this with friends whenever we see a Mrs Parker.

[zeb]

talk to me goose.....still after 28 flaming years!!

[HD Adam]

Like a glove - Ace Ventura. Usually when I've made a right lash up of parking somewhere.

But it is waffer thin - Meaning of Life. When anything offered is refused.

Ah, the old parallel bars - Pink Panther. Whenever we are lined up near any railings or barrier.

Get to da Choppa - Predator. Usually when we are heading for the car.

All with appropriate bad accents.

[Dr Jekyll]

'I think we can walk to the kerb from here', from a Woody Allen film and used when a passenger with a driver who can't park.

'All this has happened before and will happen again', From BSG, when someone has made a cockup.

[boyse7en]

"I'll be back..."

Pretty much any time I'm leaving and will be returning within a short period.

If you don't know where it is from, Mumsnet is that way >>>>

[wotnot]

"Did you hear that?"
From Elf after an epically loud, long belch.

Used in similar circumstances...

[Nom de ploom]

"on any other day that might seem strange...." from Con Air

"I can't know that" or " I can stand to hear a little more" both from the same scene in Serenty plus tooo many others to mention


context is important and more so if the person you're speaking to has no idea that its from a film or not...

I've used "I think we're gonna need a bigger boat" a couple of times out on the loch in bad weather.

Abagnale said:

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

Also sampled in Guns & Roses - civil war.

and someone else who suggested "what we are dealing with here is a total lack of respect for the law" - Smokey and the bandit but also sampled in the Prodigy's My Law.


If I'm in a particularly good mood i will let out a " GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD morning ( insert wherever i am) " in a Good Morning Vietnam style.

If working on something that needs to be treated with care and there is the potential to drop something/lean something against it then "Major Chip Hazard Reporting for Duty" in a Tommy Lee voice is often mentioned.

[StoatInACoat]

"'Cos I'm not fkin' laughing Nicholarse!"

Thingy in Lock Stock. Used as often as possible when talking to a friend of mine who happens to be called Nick.

Not everyday conversation, this one, but it did happen-

Years ago I had a guitar sales and repair shop, and lived in the flat upstairs. Our cat, large, mostly white and very fluffy, used to come down and visit, even get in people's guitar cases.

One day a guy came in while I was talking to him, my cat was bumping off my legs so I picked him up and held him to my chest, tickled his chin, and said to my customer

"Yes, give him his cigarettes, it won't be the nicotine that kills you, Mr. Bond"

I don't think he got it, but there were others present that did.

I was doing Donald Pleasance (Blofeld) from You Only Live Twice.

"Thank you, Sybil" - Basil Fawlty

[Oilchange]

'That's no moon, that's a space station...'

used whenever I can fit it in, even when irrelevent.

Never used it, but the best line Basil ever said was: 'Brahms' third racket!'

I think my favourite is "Rosewood, mahogany, teak?"
It really is top-heavy with great lines. When trying to choose a restaurant "That Egyption place, 'The Golden Dog'..something or other"

That rug really tied the room together

Or a variation on that theme. I've a new appreicaition for rugs since re-watching the Big Lebowski.

Also, many things in life are fking A, maaan at the moment.


I did just search for a image to go with this post, and typed something very inappropriate into Google images on my work PC. Won't do that again!

Has it ever been relevant?

More relevant that your posts so far.

You've not really got into the spirit of this thread, or else you are just trolling.

[Tyre Tread]

"[A] Man's Gotta know his limitations" - Clint Eatwood as Dirty Harry
Used frequenly whenever someone is about to step beyond their known capabilities and likely to screw up

[JB!]

recently - "Best job i ever had" from Fury, used when doing really st tasks, and delivered stone cold serious.

[Big Fat Fatty]

I'll quite often quote "phrasing!" from Archer when anyone let's slip a subtle double entendre. My favourite though is Marv's "the good old days, the glory days, the all or nothing days" from Sin City when anyone starts to reminisce about anything.
