We all have our favourites. Tiny little throwaway lines in movies that are so perfectly timed, well-delivered or just plain perfect for the situation that they stick with us. This is not about what would conventionally be considered great quotes, or anything that became a mainstream catchphrase.

A couple of my favourites that others on the board also enjoy:

"B!tches leave." - Clarence Boddicker in Robocop, bursting in on Bob Morton and his ladies.

"You've gotta be f*cking kidding." - Palmer in The Thing, when Norris' head sprouts legs and runs away.

How many more can we come up with?

"One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach...all the damn vampires!"......Lost Boys

     "Puny god."

-Hulk, to Loki, in THE AVENGERS

You know, both those seem almost too.... clever.

I should add one more thing to the criteria. It should be a line that any "normal" person might find unremarkable or even bad. Something that on close examination wouldn't seem like much thought went into writing it, but it has a weird brilliance to it when you watch the movie.

Ozzymandias speaks: Two throw away lines in Paper Moon crack me up.

Unnamed hillbilly brother: Make him say 'Calf Rope,' Leroy!

Floyd (to Trixie): Well ain't you the show dog!

Ozzymandias has spoken!!!

Always liked Bubba Zanetti's line in Mad Max:  "Perhaps it was a result of anxiety."

Or Goose's, "I don't know man, I just got here myself."

"Gee, maybe we made a mistake. That salad looks great!".

Also from RoboCop:

"Hey, butthole, get your own!"

Emil to Leon, when Leon tries to take Emil's Cobra Assault Cannon.  It sticks out because the rest of the dialogue didn't exactly go out of its way to avoid profanity.

"Everybody knows your crank can hook a tuna" - Switchblade Sisters (1975)

"Who is Betsy Ross?"
Ray in THE HONEYMOON KILLERS

When Martha complains their intended patriotic victim will probably have her sewing flags like Betsy Ross.

"To die-to be really dead-that most be glorious."
Lugosi-DRACULA

"I never drink-wine" -Dracula.

"Children of the night-what music they make"-Dracula.

"He went for a little walk!"
Bramwell Fletcher-The MUMMY (1932)

"Your mouthwash ain't making it."
Clint Eastwood-DIRTY HARRY

...and of course...the classic-

"anything you didn't feed the food to Mrs. Skinner?"-Food of the Gods

 :bouncegiggle:

Also from that film:

"Jobs for female bacteriologists are just not that easy to find, Jack."

"Dead or alive, you're coming with me."  - ROBOCOP

"You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake." - FIGHT CLUB

"Eight-year-olds, Dude."
and
"Yeah well, that's just like, your opinion, man." -- BIG LEBOWSKI


And my two favorite final lines in movies:

"Suck it, b***h." - I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE

"Its a good scream, Sam.....a good scream." - BLOW OUT

Jackie Gleason in the Smokey and the Bandit films gives off some hilarious totally politically incorrect by today's standards lines. One of my faves..."I'll barbecue your ass in molasses!"

also
"The only sin is your G-d stupidity"

MARLON BRANDO in THE GODFATHER:
"I'll make him an offer he can't refuse." 

BORIS KARLOFF in THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN:
"Hate living.  Love dead."

GENE WILDER in YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (after TERI GARR exclaims "Oh Doctor, you haven't touched your food...") 
"There.  Now I've touched it.  Happy?" 

"Oh, yeah- A man, in a cylinder, unscrewin' it from another world? You're a lunatic!" - The Potsman from Timbo Hines' WOTW

"C'mon let's do some crime" Debbie from Repo Man.

One of my favourites (2 actually)

- Don't cry son, tears will cause thy wheels to rust

Roller blade

- A date without sex is a day wasted

Birdemic

     JOHN CONNOR- "The police are outside!"

     SARAH CONNOR- "How many?"

     JOHN CONNOR- "All of them!"

     From TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY

"I HATE robot spiders!" - from THE LOST EMPIRE

"You ruined my new jacket...kill him a lot!"

Amilyn,aka Paul Reubens from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" movie

"When Harry Met Sally'

Harry (Billy Crystal) and Sally (Meg Ryan) are in a restaurant in New York City discussing female orgasms, and to prove that a woman can fake a convincing orgasm, Sally starts faking one. Throwing her head and body back and saying: "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

But another woman in the restaurant thinking that Sally is enjoying what she is eating,  says to a waiter: "I'll have what she's having."

Only five words, but a memorable line I'll never forget. For it is not what you say, but how you say it.

"OHHHH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
-Troll 2 :wink:

"I'm tired of the muthaf**king snakes on this muthaf**king plane!"
-Samuel L. Jackson Snakes on a Plane

"Now this just p!sses me off to no end." - BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA

"Go away. 'Batin'."
and
"So?? Shut up! You broke my house!" -- IDIOCRACY  (pretty much everything Frito says in that movie is golden  :teddyr: :teddyr:)

"You've got two empty halves of coconuts and you're banging them together!"

"So?"

From Monty Python and the Holy Grail....just the way Graham Chapman says "So?" simply cracks me up. :teddyr:

     "You broke the ship! You BROKE the bloody SHIP!"

     -Alan Rickman (Dr. Lazarus) in GALAXY QUEST

For pure dramatic punch, I'd go with "It won't make any difference."

(Newt, from Aliens)

For a line that is just incidental-seeming but genius in its way, I'd go with Otto's final line in this exchange from Repo Man:

Leila: What about our relationship?
Otto: What?
Leila: Our relationship!
Otto: f**k that!

It is not only how you say it, but how you write it.

In "Lair of the White Worm," in the scene with the lady (Amanda Donohoe) and the underaged scout (Chris Pitt), there must be some type of record for double entendres in one scene, as seemingly, every other line is a double entendre or one about every 23 seconds.

Here are some examples from the lady, and when two people are speaking, the boy speaks first, except for the first one listed.

"How do you rate the music?"--"I'm not really into head banging."--"Are you into any kind of banging?"

"Don't worry. You will leave me well satisfied."

"That's very kind."--"Kind nothing. If you don't get out of your wet things, you'll catch your death."

"Down you go."

"Yes, I'm home."

"I'm hungry."--"Me, too. Dinner won't be long."

"So, it's a nice bath for you and then dinner."

"And after that."--"Ah! The experience of a lifetime."

"I wouldn't think of letting you go--now."

"There. That's just a sample. Bathtime."

"I'm not finished with you--yet."

"Stand up. I won't bite you."

"My, you are a fine growing boy."

"Save your breath."

"You are a vegetable, metaphorically speaking. But, the god is not a vegetarian."

"Actually, I'm doing you a favor."

And the perfect answer to the inevitable question from the lord to the lady. "Do you have any children?"--"Only when there are no men around."

Of course, depending upon one's sexual orientation, one may substitute "Only when there are no women around" for "Only when there are no men around.

THE GIANT CLAW.

When Mitch asks the transport pilot "Whats the poop on the weather, I hear it's soft all the way to New York?"

NO riffer can pass that line up!

Narrator: The pirate Yellowbeard captured many other galleons, killing over five-hundred men in cold blood. He would tear the captains hearts out and swallow them whole. Often forcing his victims to eat their own lips, he was caught and imprisoned... for tax evasion.

Of course, the Hulk's two words about Loki in THE AVENGERS:

"Puny god!"
