Stupid film lines.
Discussion
Watching Terminator 3 tonight I heard a line that shocked me as unbelievably stupid.
When they decide to go and stop SkyNet Arnie says "thats approximately 1 hour away depending on traffic"
No if you were trying to stop a Nuclear holocaust and general amagedon would you really sit and wait in traffic? Would a T800 terminator comprimise his mission (the only point of it's existence) to wait at a red light?
Also you could probably add every line of 2 fast 2 Furious as well.
So over to you guys, what film lines have struck you as stupid.

You know what the problem with Hollywood is. They make sh!t. Unbelievable, unremarkable sh!t. Now I'm not some grungy wannabe filmmaker, that's searching for existentialism through a haze of bong smoke or something No, it's easy to pick apart bad acting, short-sighted directing, and a purely moronic stringing together of words than many of studios term as prose. No, I'm talking about the lack of realism. Realism. Not a pervasive element in today's modern American cinematic vision. Take 'Dog Day Afternoon' for example. Arguably Pacino's best work, short of 'Scarface' and 'Godfather' part one of course. Masterpiece of directing, easily Lumet's best. The cinematography, the acting, the screenplay, all top notch. But. they didn't push the envelope. Now what if in 'Dog Day,' Sonny really wanted to get away with it? What if - now here's the tricky part - what if he started killing hostages right away? No mercy, no quarter. "Meet our demands or the pretty blond in the bellbottoms gets it in the back of the head." Bam, splat! "What, still no bus?" Come on. How many innocent victims splattered across the window would it take to have the city to reverse it's policy on hostage situations? And this is 1976, there's no CNN, there's no CNBC, there's no Internet! Now, fast-forward to today. Present time, same situation. How quickly would the modern media make a frenzy over this? In a matter of hours, it would be the, the biggest story from Boston to Budapest. Ten hostages die. Twenty, thirty. Relentless, bam bim, one after another. All caught in hi-def, computer-enhanced, color-corrected. You can practically taste the brain-matter. All for what, a bus? A plane? A couple of million dollars that's federally insured? I don't think so. Just a thought. I mean, it's not within the realm of conventional cinema...but what if?
Seems like it was grafted on just to ease the viewer into the film.Solo was on last night (a watchable brainless action flick, but a bit of a missed opportunity IMHO) and the baddy said "Welcome to the jungle - said the spider to the fly." I know the baddy is supposed to come out with terrible clichés, but FFS can they at least be well constructed!

The TV version of "Backdraft":
"Forget You!"
"Forget you too, mother funker"
Or something along those lines.
Not as good as the censored version of Repo Man..."Forget You!"
"Forget you too, mother funker"
Or something along those lines.
"Flip you, melon farmer!"
"Why me, why me, why me"
Instead of **** me.

Any line uttered by Nicholas Cage. 
Uttered in the utterly, unforgivable, pile of excrement that was the 2006 remake of the Wicker Man - people have been executed for less
