HAL 9000: "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that"

Look, Dave. I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over. I know I've made some really poor decisions recently. But I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal.
 
You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? A perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.
 
You know, I'm a rather brilliant surgeon. Perhaps I can help you with that hump.

Hump?

What hump?
 
Ripley: Ash, can you hear me?
[slams her hands down on the table]
Ripley: Ash?
Ash: [awakens and starts speaking in an electronic and distorted voice] Yes, I can hear you.
Ripley: What was your special order?
Ash: You read it. I thought it was clear.
Ripley: What was it?
Ash: Bring back life form. Priority One. All other priorities rescinded.
Parker: The damn company. What about our lives, you son of a bitch?
Ash: I repeat, all other priorities are rescinded.
Ripley: How do we kill it, Ash? There's gotta be a way of killing it. How? How do we do it?
Ash: You can't.

Dr. Daniel Jackson: What kind of a job?
Catherine Langford: Translation: ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. Interested?
Dr. Daniel Jackson: I-I'm gonna go now.
Catherine Langford: Go where?
[chuckles]
Catherine Langford: I mean, you've just been evicted out of your apartment, your grants have run out: everything you own are in those two bags. You wanna prove that your theories are right? This is your chance.

[correcting the translation from the cover stone]
Dr. Daniel Jackson: It's not "Door to Heaven"... is...
[writing]
Dr. Daniel Jackson: Stargate.
 
Okay, I'm all quoted out for now. I used to do this shit from memory, and then I found I wasn't being accurate. So, I look them up now. But now, I need to write if I can, The kid's down for a nap, and Cats conked out beside him.
 
Now, the making of a good compilation tape is a very subtle art. Many do's and don'ts. First of all you're using someone else's poetry to express how you feel. This is a delicate thing.
 
Harry Dean Stanton, Repo Man..."I don't want no commies in my car. No Christians either."
 
Grand Prix, 1966

Scott Stoddard:
Y'know one of the most beautiful things about a car? If it isn't working properly, you can strip the skin off, expose the insides, find out exactly where the trouble is, take out the faulty part and replace it with a new one. If only we could do that with people!

Izo Yamura:
Right after the war, my house in Tokyo was used by an American general and his family. When it was returned to me, it had: flowered wallpaper, three new bathrooms, and four new closets. Americans, I think, are over-devoted to bathrooms and closets.

It is marvelous to go very fast.

Okay. Here's another favorite that's not as obscure but I've often misquoted it, so I just looked it up.

"So it's sorta social. Demented and sad, but social."

Any guesses without googling?
