Mother: Mary tells me you're a very nice fellow. What do you do?

Henry: I... I'm on vacation.

Mother: What did you do?

Henry: Oh, I'm sorry. I work in the Lapell's factory. I'm a printer.

Mary: Henry is very clever in printing.

Mother: Yes, he sounds very clever.

It is actually more interesting to try to figure out where the quote comes from ...

How this one?

"As your leader, I encourage you from time to time, and always in a respectful manner, to question my logic. If you're unconvinced that a particular plan of action I've decided is the wisest, tell me so, but allow me to convince you and I promise you right here and now, no subject will ever be taboo. Except, of course, the subject that was just under discussion. The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or American heritage as a negative is... I collect your [BEEP] head. Just like this [BEEP] here. Now, if any of you sons of [BEEP] got anything else to say, now's the [BEEP] time!"

"Sealed with a curse as sharp as a knife. Doomed is your soul and
damned is your life."

Need a hint? This is from the same movie:
"The White House wants to know is everything ok with the alien space craft
from Planet 10 or should we just go ahead and destroy Russia?"
"Tell him yes on one and no on two."
"Which one was yes, go ahead and destroy Russia... or number 2?"

He'll probably use it as his exit line whenever he eventually steps down as Governator...

Unfortunately, I can't add answers to any of the other as-yet-unanswered ones. I did google Ryan's quote out of curiousity and it ended up reminding me that I never did get around to seeing that, despite various positive comments from people over the years. So I've added it to my Netflix cue. That should count for something.

Anyway, here's another one, from television rather than cinema:

The single greatest movie for memorable quotes... Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket. Pretty much anything that came out of R Lee Ermey's (Gunnery Sgt Hartman) mouth was quotable, although most of the good ones aren't suitable for a family oreiented site like JavaRanch.




Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Oh that's right, Private Pyle, don't make any f**king effort to get to the top of the f**king obstacle. If God would have wanted you up there he would have miracled your ass up there by now, wouldn't he?




Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Now choke yourself.




Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: How tall are you, private?
Private Cowboy: Sir, five-foot-nine, sir.
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Five-foot-nine, I didn't know they stacked shit that high.




Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Did your parents have any children that lived?
Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, yes, sir.
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: I'll bet they regret that. You're so ugly you could be a modern art masterpiece.




Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: A jelly doughnut?




Private Joker: I wanted to see exotic Vietnam... the crown jewel of Southeast Asia. I wanted to meet interesting and stimulating people of an ancient culture... and kill them. I wanted to be the first kid on my block to get a confirmed kill!




Door Gunner: Anyone that runs, is a VC. Anyone that stands still, is a well-disciplined VC! You guys oughta do a story about me sometime!
Private Joker: Why should we do a story about you?
Door Gunner: 'Cuz I'm so f**kin' good! I done got me 157 dead [Vietnames] killed. Plus 50 water buffalo too! Them's all confirmed!
Private Joker: Any women or children?
Door Gunner: Sometimes!
Private Joker: How can you shoot women or children?
Door Gunner: Easy! Ya just don't lead 'em so much! Ain't war hell?




Pogue Colonel: Marine, what is that button on your body armor?
Private Joker: A peace symbol, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Where'd you get it?
Private Joker: I don't remember, sir.
Pogue Colonel: What is that you've got written on your helmet?
Private Joker: "Born to Kill", sir.
Pogue Colonel: You write "Born to Kill" on your helmet and you wear a peace button. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?
Private Joker: No, sir.
Pogue Colonel: You'd better get your head and your ass wired together, or I will take a giant shit on you.
Private Joker: Yes, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Now answer my question or you'll be standing tall before the man.
Private Joker: I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir.
Pogue Colonel: The what?
Private Joker: The duality of man. The Jungian thing, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Whose side are you on, son?
Private Joker: Our side, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Don't you love your country?
Private Joker: Yes, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Then how about getting with the program? Why don't you jump on the team and come on in for the big win?
Private Joker: Yes, sir.
Pogue Colonel: Son, all I've ever asked of my marines is that they obey my orders as they would the word of God. We are here to help the Vietnamese, because inside every [Vietnamese] there is an American trying to get out. It's a hardball world, son. We've gotta keep our heads until this peace craze blows over.

"I've been away a lot."

(This line was delivered by the same actor in two different films by the same director. The second was a multi-level allusion to "a film within a film," compounded by the actor making two distinct cameos -- once in character, quoting the first film, and once as himself.)

HINT: The actor was Terrence Stamp (kind of a British version of Peter Fonda, who was also in the first film mentioned above).

Brigid O'Shaughnessy Mr. Spade, I have a terrible, terrible confession to make. That story I told you yesterday was just a story.

Sam Spade Oh, that. Well, we, we didn't exactly believe your story, Miss--uh, what is your name? Wonderly or Leblanc?

Brigid O'Shaughnessy It's O'Shaughnessy. Brigid O'Shaughnessy.

Sam Spade We didn't exactly believe your story, Miss O'Shaughnessy. We believed your two hundred dollars.

Brigid O'Shaughnessy You mean that--

Sam Spade I mean, you paid us more than if you'd been telling us the truth, and enough more to make it all right.

There are lots of amazing and hard dialogs in the film, but I don't know how to find them.

The Deer Hunter, 2nd-best Vietnam movie ever (after Apocalypse Now Redux, of course, but then, all movies in all categories rank second to that)

Roy: I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tannh�user Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.


One my favorite lines too, along with "It's too bad she can't live. But then again, who does?" from Gaff in the same movie.

Few of my favourite movie quotes. Shouldn't be tough to figure out the movies.


A: Go to the north. The decisive battle will be fought there.
B: Why didn't you build a fence there?
A: A good fort needs a gap. The enemy must be lured in. So we can attack them. If we only defend, we lose the war.




Ernest Hemingway once wrote, "The world is a fine place and worth fighting for." I agree with the second part.




Earn this.




The first night's the toughest, no doubt about it. They march you in naked as the day you were born, skin burning and half blind from that delousing shit they throw on you, and when they put you in that cell, when those bars slam home, that's when you know it's for real. Old life blown away in the blink of an eye. Nothing left but all the time in the world to think about it. Most new fish come close to madness the first night. Somebody always breaks down crying. Happens every time. The only question is, who's it gonna be? It's as good a thing to bet on as any, I guess.




I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are better left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and it makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a grey place dares to dream. It was as if some beautiful bird had flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in ********* felt free.




We all end up dead. The question is how and why.




Every man dies, not every man really lives.




Sometimes I do what I want to do. The rest of the time, I do what I have to.

Actually a movie line for me and I don't remember the exact wording. It's in Casablanca and it goes something like "I'm shocked to find out that there's gambling going on in this establishment!"

The character saying that, is the police chief, who was on the take all the time and knew what was going on. Another character proceeds to give this man his 'cut for the day' and he accepts.

Unfortunately that scene is a metaphor for some political scandals in Washington where a congressman or Senator is about to be linked to a greater scandal and they say the equivalent, that they didn't know anything, after happily accepting all the bribes that came before that moment.

I agree. IMDB has always been my friend in movie matters. Even before the advent of the Web (the HTTP protocol).

In the beginning the imdb was just a newsgroup powered by perl scripts or similar stuff (NNTP protocol).

I remember reading the newsgroup in the early 1990s.

If I had wanted to be accurate in my post I would have gone there. But this is meaningless drivel

HINT: The actor was Terrence Stamp (kind of a British version of Peter Fonda, who was also in the first film mentioned above).


These films are too good to go unmentioned, so the answers are...

The Limey and Full Frontal, both directed by Steven Soderbergh.

Lines from A walk to remember.............They may not be 100% accurate:
Love is always patient and kind.Its never jealous.Love is never boastful not conceided.Its never ruled or selfish.It does not take offence and its not resentful.Love takes no pleasure in other people's sin and delights in truth.Its always ready to excuse,to trust,to hope that yopu can do what ever comes.
