Favorite movie quotes

The Shootist

John Bernard Books: I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.

Comshaw
 
Eugénie Radeck de Franval: I accept. I'll do absolutely anything you want me to, anything you say. Your will will be mine. We'll act as one. I had a premonition - that life would be full of passions, how it's marvellous what we've become to each other. Father, I promise to obey you.

Eugenie de Sade Original title: Eugénie 1973 (rated X)
 
another great on from Mr. Williams...and , according to Ben Affleck, an ad lib from Robin:

after Matt Damon steals Robin's characters, "got to see about a girl" line... last line in the movie...
'
"Son of a bitch stole my line"

of course, many of the best lines need context....

Casablanca:
The inspecter Renault is yelling at Rick about threatening to shut him down...

"And I am shocked...SHOCKED...to discover there is illegal gambling going on here!"
Waiter appears and goes up to the inspector...
"Your winnings, Mr, Inspector..."
"Thank You very much."

One of my personal favorites, from the movie The Ghost and the Darkness:
"Just because it didn't work doesn't mean it was a bad idea."
 
also from Casablanca, a line that has repeatedly been used by guys trying to close the deal on girls over the years...

Rick to Renault : I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
Ilsa is already gone, on the plane with her husband. but the line is usually used by other people as a hit line on a woman, when it's actually said between two men and has zero sexual connatations.

A few moments earlier, Rick is standing with a smoking gun, Renault having just seen everything that happens.the rest of the police force arrives, Renault having been the only witness to Major Strausser's murder.
Renault: Don't just stand there, Major Strausser has been shot! (a pause , so the audience can assume Renault is about to arrest Rick.) Round up the usual suspects!"
 
@Belegon, thanks for the setup.

[last lines]
Verbal: After that, my guess is that you'll never hear from him again. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that... he's gone.

The Usual Suspects 1995
 
Blofeld: ...You made a mistake, my friend. No astronaut would enter the capsule carrying his air conditioner. Let's see who he is.
[the guards remove 007's helmet]
Blofeld: James Bond. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Ernst Stavro Blofeld. They told me you were assassinated in Hong Kong.
James Bond: Yes, this is my second life.
Blofeld: You only live twice, Mr. Bond.
James Bond: [DELETED LINE] Well, they say twice is the only way to live.


If you don't know what movie this is from, um, you're helpless!

You can't handle the truth!

Nothing more helpless than not being able to identify *that*!
