Favorite movie quotes

I think an underrated quote from Apoaclypse Now. Captain Willard explaining to the CIA man (Harrison Ford) about prior missions:

“Sir, I am unaware of any such activity or operation... nor would I be disposed to discuss such an operation if it did in fact exist, sir.“
 
"I was 12 going on 13 the first time I saw a dead human being." Stand by Me

“The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It’s a good non-specific symptom; I’m a big believer in it." Ferris Bueller's Day Off

"It was the summer of 1963, when everybody called me Baby, and it didn't occur to me to mind." Dirty Dancing

“Please, sir, I want some more.” Oliver Twist

"When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home." The Outsiders

There are probably more from youngsters, but these are about the best.
If we’re quoting great opening lines from young people-

“Ok, you cunts, let’s see what you can do now!” - Kick Ass
 
Julie Ann Warren: It wasn't until I was ten years old that I realized that "damn" and "Yankee" were two separate words!

From the same movie,
[The bigoted Judge Purcell rebukes a white lawyer for his help to the black defendant.]
Judge Purcell: Don't you rattle your skeleton in my court! Your being here at all constitutes a treachery to the entire white community that's too colossal to be believed!

Hurry Sundown
 
Okay, chief. Take ‘em away. I’m gonna go home and sleep with my wife.
- Mr Green. Clue.
 
Young crone: "Two things you must know about the wise woman. One, she's wise. Two-"
Lord Blackadder: "She's a woman?"
Young crone: "Oh, so you do know her then?"
Lord Blackadder: "No, just a wild stab in the dark. Which, incidentally, is what you'll be getting if you don't tell me where I can find her."

OK, not a movie. But any excuse to quote Blackadder. (Taken from Blackadder II, "Bells". Also the first episode to feature "Bob".)

Yes. To you, Baldrick, the Renaissance was just something that happened to other people, wasn't it?

Same episode. 🤣😂😆
 
“I will see to it you will spend the next ten years in prison getting ass fucked. And if the case is thrown out because my arrest was too violent, I will personally hire men to ass fuck you for the next ten years. So, if you're an ass fucking fan, you go ahead and mouth off.“

- Samuel L. Jackson, The Long Kiss Goodnight.

Commander Minoru Genda: We've done it! Send the message: "Tora! Tora! Tora!"

Tora translates as Tiger, but it may as well have been gotcha, gotcha, gotcha!
