Dramatic irony. It'll f**k you every time.

The Jerk


Navin Johnson: Well I'm gonna to go then. And I don't need any of this. I don't need this stuff, and I don't need you. I don't need anything except this. And that's it and that's the only thing I need, is this. I don't need this or this. Just this ashtray. And this paddle game, the ashtray and the paddle game and that's all I need. And this remote control. The ashtray, the paddle game, and the remote control, and that's all I need. And these matches. The ashtray, and these matches, and the remote control and the paddle ball. And this lamp. The ashtray, this paddle game and the remote control and the lamp and that's all I need. And that's all I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one...I need this. The paddle game, and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches, for sure. And this. And that's all I need. The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, this magazine and the chair.



Navin Johnson: He hates these cans. Stay away from the cans.




Navin Johnson: Lord loves a workin' man; don't trust whitey; see a doctor and get rid of it.



Navin Johnson: First I get my name in the phone book and now I'm on your ass. You know, I'll bet more people see that than the phone book.

Julie Vignon: Why are you crying?
La servante: Because you're not.

-Trois Couleurs: Bleu

Is it safe?

-Marathon Man

"I was 27 years old the first time I died."

-Jack Starks (Adrien Brody) in The Jacket

Todays is a good day to die.

Nelson Wright, Flatliner.

(although to be fair it was Crazyhorse who said that one first. But so far as I know, he never said "You bring the equipment. I'll bring my balls." Nelson did).

"Not only did I enjoy that kiss last night, I was awed by its efficiency."

-John Robie (Cary Grant) in To Catch A Thief

You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Then who the hell else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well I'm the only one here. Who the f**k do you think you're talking to?

Old Fart: Now look. Twenty bucks for that kind of head is outrageous.
Grandma Moses: I did ya good, old fart. I did ya good. I oughta bit your champagne cork off.
Old Fart: I'm givin' ya fifteen bucks.

Nigel: ... these go to eleven.

Marty: Don't point, OK. Can I look at it?
Nigel: No. no. That's it, you've seen enough of that one.

Both from This is Spinal Tap

So I take it you ended up watching the movie then?

Howard: What are you doing? This is a one way street!
Judy: We're only going one way.

-What's Up Doc

I did indeed. Excellent.

Nice, glad you liked it. :)

Was it your first time?

Or, to avoid derailing the thread*:

I feel afraid and there's something more. I feel ashamed. There. You asked me and I told you. How was it your first time? - Bromhead, Zulu.

*probably the only time I'll ever do that...

Meh, you're not really derailing, this is a movie thread after all.

[Explaining Xixo's conversation with a baboon in a tree who grabbed the Coke bottle] "He spoke long and earnestly to the baboon and explained, that is an evil thing you've got there, and it brought much unhappiness to my family and it will surely bring much unhappiness to yours unless you give it back to me and let me throw it away. He spoke so earnestly that the baboon began to take note and dropped the evil thing. He said, that is a very wise thing you have done."

-The Gods Must Be Crazy

It was indeed. Now, on to the quotes:

"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."
"Carpe Diem - sieze the day."
"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today
Tomorrow will be dying."
All from John Keating in the film Dead Poets Society. An excellent film.

Denis: Eighth floor?
Alexander Kerner: Yup.
Denis: Elevator?
Alexander Kerner: Broken.
Denis: s**t.
Alexander Kerner: You can say that again.

-Good Bye Lenin!

"Poetry doesn't belong to those who write it; it belongs to those who need it."

-Mario Ruoppolo (Massimo Troisi) in Il Postino
