What movie quotes do you use in everyday conversation?

[singlecoil]

My wife and I have several-


"It's really not our sort of thing, but under the circumstances"

Sir Hilary Bray in OHMSS, used in any situation that really isn't our sort of thing.


"It's the old wound, my king, it has never healed"

Sir Lancelot in Excalibur, used to refer to any minor on-going health problem.


"We are well prepared my lord"

Mr Stephens in Remains of the Day, used in response to any query about readiness


"I want him given a good going over, not killed, just give a good going over, with my compliments"

Mr Bridger in the Italian Job, quite often used about naughty cats (not that they ever get the good going over).


"They don't figure to last"

John Dunbar in Dances With Wolves, used usually in encouraging the other to finish off the grapes, strawberries, whatever.


Slight changes are made to the wording to fit circumstances.

"How u doin".
Are TV quotes allowed ?

I guess so, but I may well not know them, so might be as well to say where it comes from and when you use it.

Dr Jekyll said:

We need the finest wines/beers/cars/coffees/biscuits/socket wrenches available to humanity, we need them here, and we need them now.

When would you use that, and where does it come from?

Chaps, this wan't intended to be a favourite movie quotes threads, it's supposed to be about quotes you actually use in conversation, so we need to know when you would use them, as well as where they come form.

Can we include TV quotes as well?

Yes, of course.

as long as you say where they come from

It's just becoming a random selection of film quotes.

Shame, 'cos that rather misses the point, but, what can you do?

Shut up and sit down you big bald fk!

Cousin Avi to Doug the Head in Snatch.

Is there a large bald person in your life?

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.

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.

I've been known to point a water pistol at a naughty cat and ask him if he feels lucky.

One that crops up quite often is "BIG!" in the style of Benny Hill from the Italian Job, sometimes followed up by "Enormous!".

[singlecoil]

I'd forgotten about this one until I heard my wife using it just now-

"What was that?" said in a slightly exasperated oriental accent, especially as one of the cats has made a clumsy effort to jump up on something.

Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon

From the same scene, I've been known to say

"Emotional content, not anger, "

In fact, that scene also yields another favourite

"Never take your eyes off your opponent", we issue that advice to one of our two cats (they have been know to have a little set-to from time to time).
