Favorite One Liners

[Jan]

It's from the 1980 animated Return of the King! I absolutely love it.

"Hire a decorator to come in here quick, coz..... Damn!"

[Ameena]

Hehe, that's Agent J from Men in Black .

[Jan]

"Mr. Bradshaw, will you stand up please?"

[Saumun]

That's the "How not to be seen" sketch - And now for Something Completely Different.

How about.... "That's you, that is!"

[Jan]

You're right, of course. One of my most favourite MP sketches.

I'm not sure about yours.

[Saumun]

It's from tv. Might not be very well known outside the uk.

[Saumun]

It was from The Mary Whitehouse Experience, and later Newman and Baddiel in Pieces.... The 'History Today' bit, where two old professors begin with a serious discussion that ends up as a childish slanging match.

"Well, the Industrial Revolution caused a shift to urban connubation by what had been largely agrarian populations and communities, and so forth. This led to very poor living conditions, and in his journal Samuel Pepys gives a particularly harrowing account of one man whom he describes thus: [opens book] He had scurvy, and rickets, and was covered from head to foot in festering sores. All in all he was quite the most ghastly apparation of a man I had ever seen. [Closes book] That's you, that is. That's the nicest thing he could find to say about you."

(Loved History Today )

[Saumun]

Yep... Bloody hilarious. I hadn't seen them for years and was watching them on youtube last week, and thought i'd see if anyone remembered the line.

[oh_brother]

And I remember Beo was a fan too:

I skimmed that thread in the past. Must have missed the HT references. Very entertaining!

[Wizard Zedd]

Haven't been around for a while - hope everyone is well

How about this one:

I ain't heard no fat lady.

[Saumun]

Indeed Zedd... Hope you're well yourself. Long time no see.

Oh... and i don't know that quote.

[Wizard Zedd]

Doing well...just been VERY busy.

Here is another quote from the same movie: Didn't I promise you fireworks?

[Saumun]

Still no idea, but here's one from me (don't know if this has already been done)...

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the war room!"

[Ameena]

Petty sure that's from "Dr Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb". Which I've never seen, but I think I'm familiar with two things from it - that quote and the ending .

[Saumun]

Yep... Spot on!

[Jan]

"Excuse me, can you tell me if Delmar Berry lives here?"

[Saumun]

It was on the tip of my tongue, but took a while for it to come to me..... First Blood!

[Jan]

Of course, I knew you'd know it! The very first line of the whole series... I can still see the calm opening with Johnny walking down the forest road to the lake, and the great theme playing...

[Saumun]

Yes indeed... One of those lines where I thought "Damn, I know that!", but didn't immediately spring to mind what it was. Great movie!

How about...
All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies."

[Ameena]

That's Frith to erm...I can't remember his name, but the first rabbit, Prince somebody (it's like Alfafa or something, I think), after being tricked into gifting him with the ability to run really fast and jump really well - in retaliation Frith then gives all the other creatures the ability to hunt really well so that Prince Alpha-Bunny and his descendants have to spend their lives hiding and fearful.
And so ends the prologue of Watership Down .

[Saumun]

Yep... Spot on!

[JETENGINE]

If video game one-liners are allowable then mine would be:
"Have I lied to you? I mean, in this room?" - GLaDOS, Portal.
"PK... Starstorm!" - Ness and Lucas, Super Smash Brothers Brawl.

Hoping it's eligible,
Jay.
