Why 25? It's a nice, round number, whereas 28 (clean as it may be in terms of a decade cutoff) is not. Would've looked all oblong and ugly up there on the title line. And we're all about aesthetics here at DITF. So yes, that means Airplane, The Empire Strikes Back, On Golden Pond, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Porky's and Star Trek: Wrath of Khan are out. I am not, however, without mercy, so I'm including all of 1983 (even though technically only the latter eight months -- less twelve days -- belong to the time period in question), which means Trading Places, Return of lthe Jedi, Mr. Mom, Octopussy, Scarface and Risky Business are in play. You're welcome.
5.) No Country For Old Men (2007): "You keep runnin that mouth I'm gonna take you in the back and screw ya." -Llewelyn Moss
Couldn't find a picture of him on the couch with Carla Jean, so ignore the wet hair and gun. And the fact that he's probably looking at a dog. So many good lines in this movie. Haven't read the book, so I'm not sure if this one's in it. I heard the Cohens stayed pretty faithful, though. Thought about going with "If it ain't, it'll do till the mess gets here," the line Tommy Lee Jones seemed born to deliver. It manages to be endearing in that classic cowboy kind of way without crossing into hokey yokel-speak. Such a hard thing to pull off, and it's handled perfectly the whole way through.
4.) When Harry Met Sally (1989): "The fact that you're not answering leads me to believe you're either (a.) not at home, (b.) home but don't want to talk to me, or (c.) home, desperately want to talk to me, but trapped under something heavy." -Harry Burns Since the first time I heard it I've been itching for an opportunity to leave this message on someone's machine. Maybe someday TBS will stop showing the movie five times per week so I can safely plagiarize it. They've shown no sign of letting up, though.
3.) Clerks (1994): "People say crazy shit during sex. One time I called this girl Mom." -Randal Graves
This made me laugh when I was thirteen, and it still makes me laugh at twenty-six. Not sure if that says more about the quality of the movie or of the person watching it. (This film also gave a new and universally-recognized meaning to the number thirty-seven (at least among junior high boys.))
2.) Dazed and Confused (1993): "Wipe that face off your head, bitch." -Darla MarksD&C has a lot of oft-quoted one liners, but this is easily my favorite. (On a related side note, last Monday I walked past a group of guys who'd just picked up their Greeked-out fraternity paddles. Ever the outgoing non-traditional undergrad, I turned to them and asked, "Where's the FAH-Q?" I got three blank stares in return. Thinking they must have misheard, I clarified, "You know, Dazed and Confused?" Still nothing. Made me want to snatch one away and take a few swings. (On another side note, this year's high school freshmen were born in 1995.))
1.) Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998): "Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop. A normal speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side. This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop heart. Make the bastard chase you. He will follow." -Raoul Duke (a.k.a. Hunter S. Thompson)
Maybe the most quotable film since the first talkies were released to the viewing public. I was going to pull out the bat country exchange, but it's sort of a dead horse nowadays, having had all but a sliver of its original coolness neutered via an ill-fated association with Avenged Sevenfold. Other contenders:
[Raoul]: You better take care of me, Lord. If you don't you're gonna have me on your hands.
[Raoul]: Quick, like a bunny.
[Parking Attendant]: You can't park your car here. [Raoul]: Why not? Is this not a reasonable place to park? [Parking Attendant]: Reasonable? You're on a sidewalk! This is a sidewalk!
[Raoul]: Look, there's two women fucking a polar bear!
[Raoul]: There's a uh, big machine in the sky, some kind of, I dunno, electric snake, coming straight at us. [Dr. Gonzo]: Shoot it. [Raoul]: Not yet. I want to study its habits.
[Dr. Gonzo] (to a waitress): Did they pay you to screw that bear?

I kind of doubt if just every one of these is actually only twenty-five years ago. So I don't win. But I will do five short quotes, then five long. I could do five medium as well. And none of these should need attribution.
shortish:
1) As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster. (GOODFELLAS)
2) That was no boating accident. (JAWS)
3) Do you want to live forever? (CONAN THE BARBARIAN)
4) We're going to need some more FBI guys, I guess. (DIE HARD)
5) Yoohoo. I'll make you famous. (YOUNG GUNS -- the second one, I'm thinking)
longish:
1) I'm here to chew bubble gum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubble gum. (THEY LIVE)
2) I'm an insect who dreamt he was a man, and loved it. But now the dream is over, and the insect is awake. (THE FLY)
3) The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. (THE USUAL SUSPECTS)
4) Joey, Have you ever been to a Turkish prison? (AIRPLANE!)
5)It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses. (BLUES BROTHERS)
5) You know, I have one simple request, and that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads. Is that too much to ask for? (AUSTIN POWERS)
I think I've got about 10,000 more, as well. And feel kind of stupid kneejerking GOODFELLAS, as it's just about every list. But it's maybe one of the best lines ever, too; I'm helpless.
Here goes nothing --
(1)Hello. My name is inigo montoya. you killed my father. prepare to die. (The Princess Bride)
(2)Rob, I'm telling you this for your own good, that's the worst fuckin' sweater I've ever seen, that's a Cosby sweater. A cosssssby sweater. (High Fidelity)
(3)No more yankee my wankee, The Donger needs food! (Sixteen Candles)
(4)Hey you Guuuuys! (The Goonies)
(5)I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me, but it's hard to be angry when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes, I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and I can't take it. My heart swells up like a balloon that's about to burst. But then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold onto it. And then, it flows through me like rain and I feel nothing but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life. You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry. You will someday. (American Beauty)
*more like a monologue
I am a child of the 80's what can I say :)
Okay, Gibbs, this topic is too damn hard. You might as well have us pick our 5 favorite words of the English language, or the 5 hottest chicks we've seen in the past 25 years, or the 5 worst zits of our lives.
After coming up with about 37 good quotes, I realized I needed to approach this thematically. And luckily a theme emerged: sardonic religious irreverence bordering on blasphemy. Unfortunately, that means I can't use my favorite line from Raising Arizona: "Son, you got a panty on your head." But that's okay.
5) Ghostbusters:
What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff…Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!... Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
Especially dogs and cats living together; that always cracked me up as a kid.
4) Dogma:
The humans have besmirched everything bestowed on them. They were given Paradise, they threw it away. They were given this planet, they destroyed it. They were favored best among all His endeavors, and some of them don't even believe He exists. And in spite of it all, He's shown them infinite fucking patience at every turn. What about us? I asked you... once to lay down the sword because I felt sorry for them. What was the result? Our expulsion from Paradise. WHERE WAS HIS INFINITE FUCKING PATIENCE THEN?
3) Cool Hand Luke:
[Discussing God and the rain]
Luke: Let him go. Bam, Bam.
Dragline: Knock it off, Luke. You can't talk about Him that way.
Luke: Are you still believin' in that big bearded Boss up there? You think he's watchin' us?
Dragline: Get in here. Ain't ya scared? Ain't ya scared of dyin'?
Luke: Dyin'? Boy, he can have this little life any time he wants to. Do ya hear that? Are ya hearin' it? Come on. You're welcome to it, ol' timer. Let me know you're up there. Come on. Love me, hate me, kill me, anything. Just let me know it.
[He looks around]
Luke: I'm just standin' in the rain talkin' to myself.
I realize, of course, this is much older than 25 years, and if that disqualifies me, so be it. But for sardonic irreverence bordering on blasphemy, it can't be beat.
2) The Big Kahuna:
Well, I'll be a son of a bitch! I don't smoke, you quit drinking, Bob here wouldn't even dream of looking at another woman with lust... between the three of us, we're practically Jesus.
Maybe my favorite movie ever.
1) Pulp Fiction:
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
I guess this is really a quote from the Bible. Although I'm almost certain they took some liberties with the text. Either way, hearing it from a pissed off Samuel L. Jackson in Jheri Curl is awesome.
I fully agree with Mr. Heatmiser. I know this blog is intended to be somewhat difficult and thought provoking. But this time sir, you've gone too far!
As I cannot, should not and will not choose a Top 5 list of movie quotes (and ever be remotely satisfied with my findings)... I will instead only give you 5 quotes from the movie currently in my DVD player. Even these 5 are arguably not the 'Top 5' of the movie... again, only further illustrating my point of how impossible this prompt is for me. Not to mention I've missed the cut off date by 8 years.
And so...
[1]
King Arthur: Old woman!
Dennis: Man.
King Arthur: Man, sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there?
Dennis: I'm 37.
King Arthur: What?
Dennis: I'm 37. I'm not old.
King Arthur: Well I can't just call you 'man'.
Dennis: Well you could have said 'Dennis'.
King Arthur: I didn't know you were called Dennis!
Dennis: Well you didn't bother to find out, did you?!?
King Arthur: I did say sorry about the old woman, but from behind...
Dennis: What I object to is that you automatically treat me like an inferior!
King Arthur: Well I AM king.
Dennis: OH KING, eh, very nice.
[2]
King Arthur: You fight with the strength of many men, sir knight!
Black Knight: (silence)
King Arthur: I am Arthur, King of the Britains.
Black Knight: (silence)
King Arthur: I seek the finest and the bravest knights in the land to join me in my court at Camelot.
Black Knight: (silence)
King Arthur: You have proved yourself worthy! Will you join me?
Black Knight: (silence)
King Arthur: You make me sad. So be it. Come, Patsy!
[3]
Sir Lancelot: Sir Galahad!
Sir Galahad: Oh, hello...
Sir Lancelot: Quick! Quick!
Sir Galahad: Why?
Sir Lancelot: You're in great peril!
Dingo: No he isn't!
Sir Lancelot: Silence, foul temptress!
Sir Galahad: She's got a point...
Sir Lancelot: We will cover your escape!
Sir Galahad: I'm fine! I can tackle this lot single-handed!
Dingo: Yes, let him tackle us single-handed!
Sir Lancelot: No, Sir Galahad. Come.
Sir Galahad: No really... honestly! I can handle this lot easily!
Dingo: Let him handle us easily!
Sir Galahad: Wait! Please, I can defeat them! There's only 150 of them!
Dingo: Yes! Yes! He'll beat us easily! We haven't a chance! Oooh... shit.
[4]
Roger the Shrubber: Are you saying 'Ni' to that old woman?
King Arthur: Umm... yes.
Roger the Shrubber: Oh what sad times are these where passing ruffians can say 'Ni' at will to old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land. Nothing is sacred! Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress at this period in history.
[5]
King: Listen lad. I build this kingdom up from nothing. When I stated here, all there was was swamp! All the kings said I was daft to build a castle in a swamp... but I built it all the same. Just to show 'em! And it sank into the swamp. So! I build a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I build a third one. That burned down, fell over and then sank into the swamp! But the fourth one... stayed up!
(and, of course)
I want you to STAY HERE and MAKE SURE he doesn't leave!
P.S. I've now wasted my whole morning. Thanks Gibbles.
Kudos to all! Here are my picks. Really these just make me laugh a lot. I know the category is not about the "funniest" quotes, but I needed a little giggle in my day...enjoy!
1) DOGMA
"You knew Jesus?"
"Knew him? Shit... Nigga owes me twelve bucks."
2)WEDDING CRASHERS. I could quote this movie all day. Not wanting to put one of the many brilliant Vince Vaughn monologues in due to length, I picked the below quote, because I LOVE the whole breakfast argument/ makeup scene between Vince and Owen.
" I didn't get a lot of sleep last night."
"Soft mattress?"
"Yeah, it could have been the soft mattress. Or the midnight rape. Or the nude gay art show that took place in my room. One of those probably added to the lack of sleep."
3) ARTHUR. This movie is amazing! Dudley Moore is in it and if you haven't seen it and need a laugh, it'll do the job.
"You're a hooker? Jesus, I forgot! I just thought I was doing GREAT with you!"
"I race cars, play tennis, and fondle women, BUT! I have weekends off, and I am my own boss."
4)FLETCH. No intro needed.
"What are you doing here?"
"I ordered some lunch."
"You ordered it here?"
"Well, I knew this is where my mouth would be."
5)DUMB & DUMBER.
"But he blamed me. You heard him. Those were his last words."
"Not if you count the gurgling sound."
And I am going to cheat but this last one is for a special girl....
"Loretta, I love you. Not like they told you love is, and I didn't know this either, but love don't make things nice - it ruins everything. It breaks your heart. It makes things a mess. We aren't here to make things perfect. The snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect. Not us. Not us! We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love the wrong people and die. The storybooks are bullshit. Now I want you to come upstairs with me and get in my bed! "
"And that, my liege, is how we know the earth to be banana shaped."
5. Wayne's World:
Wayne (Mike Myers):
"A gun rack...a gun rack. I don't even own 'a' gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack. What am I going to do with a gun rack?"
Much funnier than Austin Powers.
4. Bottle Rocket:
Anthony (Luke Wilson):
"One morning, over at Elizabeth's beach house, she asked me if I'd rather go water-skiing or lay out. And I realized that not only did I not want to answer THAT question, but I never wanted to answer another water-sports question, or see any of these people again, for the rest of my life."
Some people love Rushmore, but count me among those who consider this the better movie.
3. The 40-Year Old Virgin
David (Paul Rudd):
"If I have to hear "Yamo Be There" one more time, I'm going to "Yamo" burn this place to the ground."
I wish Paul Rudd was my best friend. I just want to drink beers with him.
2. Wet Hot American Summer
(Warning: This one gets a little graphic.)
Can of Vegetables (voice of Jon Benjamin):
"If you wanna smear mud on your ass, smear mud on your ass, just be honest about it. Look Gene, I've never told anyone this before, but I can suck my own dick, and I do it. A lot."
If you haven't seen this movie, watch it immediately. Remember MTV's The State? That's these guys.
1. The entire script to Fletch.
Shout out to Confer for mentioning this first. I always have to order a "steak sandwich...and a steak sandwich" when I see it on the menu.
Oh Paul Rudd....there are no words.
Confer, how could you choose that quote before: "Can I borrow your towel? I just hit a water buffalo." Fletch is amazing.
Anyhoo, my list is not supposed to be as random as it is, but I agree that this is just about the most difficult topic Ryan could have dreamed up. So, here they are. My random choices.
5 - I'm just going to stay here and lick the cat's butt. - Wayne's World 2
4 - That's probably because you've got big jugs, I mean, your boobs are huge, I mean... I wanna squeeze 'em. - Liar Liar
3 - Everything is different, but the same... things are more moderner than before... bigger, and yet smaller... it's computers... San Dimas High School football rules. - Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
2 - Hey, I don't have all the answers. In life, to be honest, I failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my wife. I love my life. And I wish you my kind of success. - Jerry Maguire
1 - This one, this one right here. This was my dream, my wish. And it didn't come true. So I'm taking it back. I'm taking them all back. - Goonies
Everybody's makin a fuss.
Okay, okay. You've twisted my arm. Next category: Top 5 Members of the Jackson 5. Top 5 Fingers on the Left Hand. Top 5 Senses? Top 5 Beatles (don't forget about Pete Best). Top 5 U.S. Presidents Between February 1977 and April 2008. Top 5 Whole Numbers Between 1 and 5.
(You're right, though. This one's pretty tough. 25 years have produced a lot of great dialogue. Maybe should've made it 10. Still, we've come up with a lot of great lists, I think.)
Oh, and bonus points to the first person who can name the TV Show "Everybody's makin a fuss" came from and who said it. (Hint: it's no longer on the air.)
I love this topic Gibbs!
5.) Caddyshack: The only reason this isn't #1 is because caddyshack was filmed in 1980...
Carl Spackler: So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.
4.) Waiting for Guffman -
Corky St. Clair: I was shopping for my wife Bonnie. I buy most of her clothes and Mrs Pearl was in the same shop! And it just was an accident you know, we started talking... about panty hose, she was saying... whatever that's not the point of the story but what the point is is that through this accidental meeting... it's like a Hitchcock movie you know where you're thrown into a rubber bag and put in the trunk of a car, you find people. You find them. Something, is is it karma? Maybe. But we found him, that's the important thing. And I got Bonnie a wonderful pantsuit.
3.) Bottle Rocket - I know someone already used BR, but this is one of my favorite quotes:
Dignan: On the run from Johnny Law... ain't no trip to Cleveland.
2.) The Big Lebowski
The Big Lebowski: Isn't that what makes a man?
The Dude: Mmm, sure. That and a pair of testicles.
1.)4.) 25th Hour - Not one for the children but I love this monologue and Edward Norton is great in it.
Monty Brogan: Well, fuck you, too. Fuck me, fuck you, fuck this whole city and everyone in it. Fuck the panhandlers, grubbing for money, and smiling at me behind my back. Fuck the squeegee men dirtying up the clean windshield of my car. Get a fucking job! Fuck the Sikhs and the Pakistanis bombing down the avenues in decrepit cabs, curry steaming out their pores, stinking up my day. Terrorists in fucking training. SLOW THE FUCK DOWN! Fuck the Chelsea boys with their waxed chests and pumped up biceps. Going down on each other in my parks and on my piers, jingling their dicks on my Channel 35. Fuck the Korean grocers with their pyramids of overpriced fruit and their tulips and roses wrapped in plastic. Ten years in the country, still no speaky English? Fuck the Russians in Brighton Beach. Mobster thugs sitting in cafés, sipping tea in little glasses, sugar cubes between their teeth. Wheelin' and dealin' and schemin'. Go back where you fucking came from! Fuck the black-hatted Chassidim, strolling up and down 47th street in their dirty gabardine with their dandruff. Selling South African apartheid diamonds! Fuck the Wall Street brokers. Self-styled masters of the universe. Michael Douglas, Gordon Gekko wannabe mother fuckers, figuring out new ways to rob hard working people blind. Send those Enron assholes to jail for FUCKING LIFE! You think Bush and Cheney didn't know about that shit? Give me a fucking break! Tyco! Worldcom! Fuck the Puerto Ricans. 20 to a car, swelling up the welfare rolls, worst fuckin' parade in the city. And don't even get me started on the Dom-in-i-cans, 'cause they make the Puerto Ricans look good. Fuck the Bensonhurst Italians with their pomaded hair, their nylon warm-up suits, their St. Anthony medallions, swinging their, Jason Giambi, Louisville slugger, baseball bats, trying to audition for the Sopranos. Fuck the Upper East Side wives with their Hermes scarves and their fifty-dollar Balducci artichokes. Overfed faces getting pulled and lifted and stretched, all taut and shiny. You're not fooling anybody, sweetheart! Fuck the uptown brothers. They never pass the ball, they don't want to play defense, they take five steps on every lay-up to the hoop. And then they want to turn around and blame everything on the white man. Slavery ended one hundred and thirty seven years ago. Move the fuck on! Fuck the corrupt cops with their anus violating plungers and their 41 shots, standing behind a blue wall of silence. You betray our trust! Fuck the priests who put their hands down some innocent child's pants. Fuck the church that protects them, delivering us into evil. And while you're at it, fuck JC! He got off easy! A day on the cross, a weekend in hell, and all the hallelujahs of the legioned angels for eternity! Try seven years in fuckin' Otisville, J! Fuck Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda, and backward-ass, cave-dwelling, fundamentalist assholes everywhere. On the names of innocent thousands murdered, I pray you spend the rest of eternity with your seventy-two whores roasting in a jet-fuel fire in hell. You towel headed camel jockeys can kiss my royal Irish ass! Fuck Jacob Elinsky, whining malcontent. Fuck Francis Xavier Slaughtery my best friend, judging me while he stares at my girlfriend's ass. Fuck Naturelle Riviera, I gave her my trust and she stabbed me in the back, sold me up the river, fucking bitch. Fuck my father with his endless grief, standing behind that bar sipping on club sodas, selling whisky to firemen, cheering the Bronx bombers. Fuck this whole city and everyone in it. From the row-houses of Astoria to the penthouses on Park Avenue, from the projects in the Bronx to the lofts in Soho. From the tenements in Alphabet City to the brownstones in Park slope to the split-levels in Staten Island. Let an earthquake crumble it, let the fires rage, let it burn to fucking ash and then let the waters rise and submerge this whole rat-infested place.
[pause]
Monty Brogan: No. No, fuck you, Montgomery Brogan. You had it all, and you threw it away, you dumb fuck!
Man, I'd forgotten about that opening monologue in 25th Hour. Great movie. The best thing Spike Lee's done, I think. And maybe the most out-of-nowhere ending I've ever seen. Didn't at all expect it.
I'm glad you posted the whole thing, too. Good stuff. Other than that, my favorite lines are from the scene in Frank's office:
Frank: You know, you're wearing a striped shirt with a striped tie. You know that, right?
Phelan: Yeah, I do it for the ladies.
Frank: Oh. The ladies ever tell you that you look like a fucking optical illusion?
Bobbles: I felt compelled to use a different quote since I used that quote for my best male characters posting, but you are right it is great. I also though about using "Dr. Rosen- Rosen, Dr Rosen Penis." But figured some might be offended...waaaait....oops.
Love this topic a lot. Love the Lebowski quote ty !
I totally forgot
Office Space. Here is a not so well known quote ( not like the free breast exams on channel 9 or the staplers) but I love it!
Peter Gibbons: [talking about the hypnotherapist he's about to see] Hey, he helped Anne lose weight.
Samir: Peter, she's anorexic!
Peter Gibbons: Yeah, he's really good.
Gibbs- I've used that other 25th hour line on a coworker and then I felt bad because he hadn't seen the movie...
I also like when his boss refers to his drink as "Red Bullshit"
i watched home alone and mrs. doubtfire once a week for at least a year growing up. you guys know i can't remember anything, let alone words on a movie....but with the help of the internet - here are my favorite excerpts from childhood movies and the three movies that have made me laugh the hardest in the past few years.
1) The Sweetest Thing -
Christina: Ew! What is that?
Courtney: What is what?
Christina: You don't smell that?
Courtney: Smell what? I don't smell anything.
Christina: Oh Jesus! You're used to it, and that's, that's what's really scary!
Courtney: I don't smell anything!
Christina: It smells like moldy ass is what it smells like in here!
Courtney: Wait a minute, come to think of it, I did leave some ass in the back.
Christina: You did!
Courtney: I did, about a week a ago. I did, it's the ass! It must be the ass!
2) Zoolander
Matilda: I became...
Hansel: What?
Matilda: Bulimic.
Derek Zoolander: You can read minds?
3) Knocked Up
Debbie: [to Ben and Pete at dinner] Hey, I have a really good idea. Why don't the two of you get into your time machine, go back in time and fuck each other.
Pete: Who needs a time machine?
4)Mrs. Doubtfire - (fyi: i quoted this part of this movie with my friend shane smith every friday night a mazzio's in waco)
Miranda: Hello, are you calling in response to the ad?
Daniel: Uh - huh
Miranda: Tell me, who was your previous employer?
Daniel: I was in a band, 'Severe Tire Damage.'
Miranda: In a band?
Daniel: I just want to know one thing. Are your kids well-behaved? Or do they need like, a few light slams every now and then?
Miranda: Umm, I'll have to get back to you.
Daniel: Waaaaow
________________________________________
Miranda: Hello
Daniel: [as a Redneck] Ahhh! Layla, get back in your cell! Don't make me get the hose!
Daniel: [Sweet voice] Hello?
________________________________________
Daniel: [Spanish accent] I am job.
Miranda: Do you speak English?
Daniel: I am job!
Miranda: I'm sorry, the position has been filled.
5) Home Alone - Kevin McCallister: Bless this highly nutritious microwavable macaroni and cheese dinner and the people who sold it on sale. Amen.
Is this toothbrush approved by the American Dental Association?
I know I said I'd start doing a new topic every two weeks, but that'll have to start after finals are over. Expect a new one to go up in about a week.
You know, Top 5 Beatles is actually a doable topic...
Just for the record, Billy Preston deserves the title way before Pete Best does.
Ok, I was about to publish this comment and realized were this a real topic one could argue for the exclusion of Ringo (reporter: Is Ringo Starr the best drummer in the world? John: He's not even the best drummer in the Beatles!). That would free up space for both Billy Preston and George Martin.
Anyone? No? I'll see myself out.
I believe 2 weeks has come and gone, old friend.
Ok,
Revision!
Instead of my quote from Jerry Macguire, I've chosen this one as 2nd place.
"The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone when you are uncool." - Almost Famous
alright, Gibbs. i updated my blog for you. now it's your turn. good luck on those finals, of course.
Humble Best nailed it on that Bottle Rocket quote. I don't know why but out of an extremely quotable movie that line about watersports was my pick as well. I thought about something from Glengarry Glen Ross, but really that's just transcribed from the play, which isn't really the point here, is it?
American Beauty
Mr. Smiley's manager: I don't think you'd fit in here.
Lester: I have fast food experience.
Mr. Smiley's manager: Yeah, like twenty years ago!
Lester: Well, I'm sure there have been amazing technological advances in the industry, but surely you must have some sort of training program. It seems unfair to presume I won't be able to learn.
Fight Club
Tyler Durden: Do you know what a duvee is?
Jack: It's a comforter.
