What's your favorite line from any form of entertainment (Movies, TV, Songs, Theatre)

Asked by Dan_Lyons (5527points) May 9th, 2014

Like when Penny opens the door to Sheldon’s repeated knocks and asks, “What’s the gist, physicist?”

Or Marlon Brando On The Waterfront, ” I could’a been a contender!”

Or Marlon yelling, “Stella!”

This exchange in a party scene between a young woman and Isaac Davis (Woody Allen) in “Manhattan”:

Woman: I finally had an orgasm, and my doctor said it was the wrong kind.

Isaac Davis: You had the wrong kind? I’ve never had the wrong kind, ever. My worst one was right on the money.

I think it was Saturday Night Live that did a spoof on the seventies TV show Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. A line from that spoof that I still say often is “I DONT KNOW WHY I’M YELLING!” In a British accent of course.
It’s strange how many times that quote is appropriate.
Also from Pink Floyd, “You can’t have your pudding if you don’t eat your meat! How can you have your pudding if you don’t eat your meat?” Also in a British accent.

@Hawaii_Jake To be or not to be? That is the question. Wether tis nobler in the mind to take arms against a sea of troubles, and to end them, or endure the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.

A bit longer than a line. But probably this ”Deep down you’ve always known that your children already belong to us, so why don’t you cut the outraged parent routine, shut your mouth and get back in your seat. Your children already belong to us. What are you? You will pass on. And they won’t know a fucking thing but this ‘community,’ this real life Ender’s Game.

Well I don’t just have one…but from the movie Devil’s Rejects, when Otis and Baby capture some vacationers and are keeping them captive, one of them asks the captors what’s going to happen with them, at which point, Otis replies;

Boy, the next thing that comes out of your mouth better be some brilliant Mark Twain shit, cuz’ it’s definitely getting chiseled on your tombstone.

Oh and of course, Conan’s prayer to Crom, best prayer ever;

Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That’s what’s important! Valor pleases you, Crom… so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!
