Great movie lines

Post Reply New Topic

I love the movies and enjoy reciting movie lines.

Here's a real oldie that I like.

Woody Allen in Love and Death (1975) in response to the comment that;

'S*x without love is an empty experience'

Responds;

'Yes, but as empty experiences go, it's one of the best!'

Taggart: "What do you want me to do, sir? "
Hedley Lamarr: "I want you to round up every vicious criminal and gunslinger in the west. Take this down. "
[Taggart looks for a pen and paper while Hedley talks]
Hedley Lamarr: "I want rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists."

from "Dirty Harry"-

[Harry Callahan has to explain why he shot a man]
Harry Callahan: "Well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard. That's my policy."
The Mayor: "Intent? How did you establish that?"

[walks out of the room]
The Mayor: "He's got a point."

from "True Grit"-

[Rooster confronts the four outlaws across the field]
Ned Pepper: "What's your intention? Do you think one on four is a dogfall?"
