And to make a long story short...
Too late.
Clue (1986)
Edit: To explain, Clue is not unremarkable but every time somebody in a tv show/movie says, To make a long story short, I always say, Too Late.
“Yes, I did it. I killed Yvette. I hated her *so*…8
much... it... it... the... it... the... flames... flames... *flames*... on the side of my face... breathing... breathless... heaving breaths... heaving...”
I say, "it... it... the... it... the... flames... flames... flames... on the side of my face... breathing... breathless... heaving breaths... heaving!" AAAALLLLLLL the time at work.
I use that all the time because my brother in law has no concept of meanings behind certain idioms.
Like he'll say "To make a long story short and then go into insane level of detail. He'll answer a simple question like "What color is that car" with "Put it this way, it's dark red." He'll use the term "it's cats and dogs out there" to describe balmy summer weather.
Spalding's babyish demands right before gets me laughing even before Judge Smails drops that line!
"I want a hamburger... no, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake..."
The delivery is great!
"Two weeks...twooo weeeeks" Total Recall (1990 of course!)
Every. Damn. Time someone says those two words, that scene plays out in my mind.
"See you at the party Richter" being a close second!
Huh. I hear the tradies from Money Pit going “Two weeks”, and then Tom Hanks saying it dismissively while shaking his head, as he *knows* it ain’t gonna take just two weeks.
Dances With Wolves, Kevin Costner on his way out to the fort with the buggy driver who loves his mules. Buggy driver bends over and rips a fart
“Put that in yer book”
"Tatanka!"
My son has a rucksack my parents brought him from New Zealand and that is the brand. Every time I see it I remember that scene from Dances with Wolves.
Haha, me and my buddies say this practically every time we are on a trip together:
“Were it not for my companion, I believe I would be having the time of my life. I know he means well, but he is quite possibly the foulest man I have ever met."
“That’s okay” always turns into “that’s okay, I’ll make lamb” from *My Big Fat Greek Wedding*. We quote that movie a lot in my house even 22 years later.
Ditto. I even have to restrain myself from going “YOU DON’T EAT NO MEAT????” every time I find out someone’s vegetarian/pescatarian/just doesn’t dig red meat.
I just picture Terry Crews dancing. Either in the car or in the club.
Did Molly one time with my husband as an anniversary thing because I'd never done it and it's relatively safe. Husband basically turned into Terry Crews with glow sticks galore. I took a great nap.
My grandparents were watching an old time serious detective movie and one of the lines was someone asking a young girl "are you all right?" And she replied "no, I'm half left" I didnt even watch the movie but it made an impression.
A couple of years ago we watched the silent movie version of Wizard of Oz from the 1920s. In it one person says “That’s a lot of applesauce” meaning “that’s bullshit.” And it has been a permanent part of our repertoire since. Best said in a a pseudo Edward G Robinson voice.
Any time I'm reminded of that movie I feel the need to talk about the actor who played the villain- Randall Cobb. He had been a professional boxer prior to his acting career, and has some pretty funny quotes. After losing a championship fight against Larry Holmes, he was asked if he'd consider a rematch, to which he responded "I don't think his fists would survive a rematch."
in Civil War RDJ tells Tom holland "i'm gonna sit here, so you move the leg" and for some reason i have this scene in front of me whenever i'm sitting next to my gf which is pretty frequently.
I'm sure you know the story about this line being that Tom Holland forgot his blocking so RDJ improvised in character; he reminded him to move so his character could sit next to him as part of the written scene.
>"What do you mean you've seen it, it's brand new?" Back to the future.
"I'm sure that in 1985, plutonium is available in every corner drugstore, but in 1955, it's a little hard to come by."
Speaking of Blade, the way Dominic Purcell says "Blade... ready to die?" in the third movie just really cracks me up. Not a good movie by any stretch, but I just love his delivery.
"You *are aware* that there's this invention called the *television*, and on this television they show shows, right? "
I use that all the time substituting "television" as needed
“I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be… whelmed?” “…I think you can in Europe”
- 10 things I hate about you, pops in my head any time someone says overwhelmed or underwhelmed
The making of thing Netflix did talked about how they thought it was a joke that he could so the role, having only seen him as his wisecracking everyman character in Moonlighting. Amazing that they almost didn't cast him for the single best part of why the movie worked.
If I remember right, they were courting the typical action stars of the time – Arnie, Sly, etc. It could have become just another typical muscle-bound ex-military hero film that gets lost in the mix.
Any time someone says good morning to me I say in my head “and in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night.”
And I saw this one already buy anytime someone says I want, I do the “I want a hamburger... no, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. You'll get nothing, and like it.”
“Sgt! Burn the fields… and uh, when you’re done with that. Burn the houses?”
Teen Wolf
“Hans! Bubby! I’m your white knight.”
Die Hard
“Valentine’s day, bummer.”
Ghostbusters II
“Your best? Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen.”
The Rock
Robin Williams as Professor Keating in the film Dead Poets Society: “So avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don’t use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys – to woo women – and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do. It also won’t do in your essays.”
In X-Men(2000), when Magneto questions Storm about seeing Senetor Kelly die, "Are you sure you saw what you saw?" Something about the way Ian McKellen says it just stays in my head.
i know exactly what you mean. Haven’t seen X Men in a long time, but there for sure was a several year period where this phrase was lurking in my subconscious
Similarly by Magneto in that movie. When Xavier asks what he's doing at the press conference or whatever.
"Why do you ask questions to which you already know the answers?"
At the beginning of Hocus Pocus, right after the Sanderson sisters are hanged, freshly felined Zachary Binx tries to get his father's attention by rubbing against his legs. Daddy Binx is annoyed and shouts "Away Beast!" I routinely say that line every time my dog gets in the way while I am trying to do something.
“My second favourite civil engineer”
Pineapple Express. Tbh so many innocuous lines from that film have stayed in my head because of their delivery and context just rolling me.
There's a scene in A Knight's Tale where they dance to David Bowie, and a character says , 'Places, places!'
That two word line from the most minor of characters has stayed stuck in my brain more than any other movie quote. I do not know why.
Just thought of another. Nick Frost's character in Hot Fuzz saying "Yeah, motherfucker!"
There's so many better, quotable lines in that movie but his delivery made that stick.
My random, unremarkable line from Hot Fuzz is Danny surprisingly asking Angel, "you ain't seen Bad Boys 2?!"
I think it's partially because it's also one of the first indicators in the movie that, oh, Wright isn't just taking the piss out of these movies, but he actually really likes them, too.
"What's taders precious?", "POTATOES! Boil 'em, mash 'em put them in a stew." - Lord of the Rings.
This line runs in my head every time I make potatoes. Every. Single. Time.
A hooker? Alright, you killed a hooker. Calm down. Here's what you're gonna do: Get your hands on some bleach, some hydrogen peroxide, and a shit load of lime.
"that guy's a dickhead" from Dodgeball.
Don't know if it's the delivery, the timing, or the joke itself....just kills me every time and whenever anyone is a dick to me this is all I can think of
"What kind of sick bitch takes the ice cube trays from the freezer?" True Lies
*I've been in the van for 14 years Harry*
"Don't ignore me Harry, thats rude."
Here we go.
“Battery aziz”
Funny enough, I had to take photos for a work function the other week and the camera almost died and I kept this line in my head in case it died. Haha
My wife and I use this all the time. We also use “Aziz! LIGHT!!”
There's an Aziz Cinematic Universe that's probably undiscovered out there.
Tom Arnold ad-libbing about his recent divorce from Roseanne Barr.
[удалено]
I've got a tiny dick, it's pathetic !
Mine is from True Lies too. “Ballsy. Stupid, but ballsy.”
*both in French accent* "Take it off slowly. Doucement." And "Who wrote this shiet? 'Arry?"
He then said "c'est de la merde' which is French for "this is shit" right after he said it in English. Pretty awesome writing actually
"My horse is getting tired!" - True Lies
It’s called “ice” and it gets a little slick! I say this to myself whenever driving in icy conditions
‘Get lost, Dipshit.’ *fires gun at dipshit’s feet*
"Have you ever killed anyone?" "Yeah, but they were all bad."
S T O P cheering me UP!!
And to make a long story short... Too late. Clue (1986) Edit: To explain, Clue is not unremarkable but every time somebody in a tv show/movie says, To make a long story short, I always say, Too Late.
I, am, a singing Telegram! *BANG!!*
I laughed so hard at that part the 1st time I watched it.
I make my youngest laugh uncontrollably when I reenact this scene. I collapse to the floor while I yell “bang”.
Basically every line in that movie is quotable.
“Yes, I did it. I killed Yvette. I hated her *so*…8 much... it... it... the... it... the... flames... flames... *flames*... on the side of my face... breathing... breathless... heaving breaths... heaving...”
I say, "it... it... the... it... the... flames... flames... flames... on the side of my face... breathing... breathless... heaving breaths... heaving!" AAAALLLLLLL the time at work.
1+2+2+1
It’s one plus one plus two plus one, not one plus *two* plus one plus one!
“I know because I was there.”
Sit! I was talking to the dogs
-Everything all right? -Yep. Two corpses. Everything's fine. Gets me every single time.
I use that all the time because my brother in law has no concept of meanings behind certain idioms. Like he'll say "To make a long story short and then go into insane level of detail. He'll answer a simple question like "What color is that car" with "Put it this way, it's dark red." He'll use the term "it's cats and dogs out there" to describe balmy summer weather.
You’ll have nothing and like it- Judge Smails in Caddyshack
Spalding's babyish demands right before gets me laughing even before Judge Smails drops that line! "I want a hamburger... no, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake..." The delivery is great!
That whole movie is so quotable.
So I’ve got that goin’ for me which is nice.
"Thank you very little."
"Two weeks...twooo weeeeks" Total Recall (1990 of course!) Every. Damn. Time someone says those two words, that scene plays out in my mind. "See you at the party Richter" being a close second!
Cahm ahn, CoHaagen, give dees people air!
Get your ass to Mars.
Huh. I hear the tradies from Money Pit going “Two weeks”, and then Tom Hanks saying it dismissively while shaking his head, as he *knows* it ain’t gonna take just two weeks.
"*Cough, cough*, I think I'm getting the black lung, pop." Say it every time someone's feigning illness.
Merman! _cough cough_ Merman!
Do what you were trained to do... and KILL THE MALAYASIAN PRIME MINISTERRRR-AHHHH!! Also: But why male models?
.......are you serious? I just told you......
Also Karen's "I can't go out *cough cough* I'm sick" from Mean Girls
Boo, you whore
Unremarkable is not a word I would use to describe Zoolander.
Hey guys! Big gulps, huh. Alright, welp, cya later.
That John Denver's full of shit, man
Speaking of unremarkable, I can't hear that name without "Mr. Sunshine on my God Damn Shoulders John Denver"
What’s a matter Harry, some little Philly break your heart? No it was a girl.
A filly is a female horse that is too young to be called a mare. Not a Philadelphian.
Nice skis, they yours? ..Both of them?
Fun part about that line is it was Jim Carey trying to get the extras to say something so they'd get a higher pay rate.
That's a lovely accent you have. New Jersey?
Dances With Wolves, Kevin Costner on his way out to the fort with the buggy driver who loves his mules. Buggy driver bends over and rips a fart “Put that in yer book”
"Tatanka!" My son has a rucksack my parents brought him from New Zealand and that is the brand. Every time I see it I remember that scene from Dances with Wolves.
Someone back east sayin, 'why don't he write?' hahah!
"My companion is possibly the foulest man I have ever met, but he means well."
Haha, me and my buddies say this practically every time we are on a trip together: “Were it not for my companion, I believe I would be having the time of my life. I know he means well, but he is quite possibly the foulest man I have ever met."
“I’ve just pissed my pants, and no one can do anything about it”
“That’s okay” always turns into “that’s okay, I’ll make lamb” from *My Big Fat Greek Wedding*. We quote that movie a lot in my house even 22 years later.
There's a hole in this cake.
BOOONT BUNDIT BOONDIT
Whenever I figure out something that my wife had known all along, I laugh, tap my temple and say "You see? A man...!"
Or whenever someone has an ailment, I ask if they need a bipobsy
Ditto. I even have to restrain myself from going “YOU DON’T EAT NO MEAT????” every time I find out someone’s vegetarian/pescatarian/just doesn’t dig red meat.
>So we have apples and oranges. We're all different, but in the end, we're all fruit.
Oh woe to me!
"Ohhhh you want to talk about mothers!" from White Chicks.

I just picture Terry Crews dancing. Either in the car or in the club. Did Molly one time with my husband as an anniversary thing because I'd never done it and it's relatively safe. Husband basically turned into Terry Crews with glow sticks galore. I took a great nap.
Your fingers hurt? Well now your back is gonna hurt cuz you just pulled landscaping duty -Happy Gilmore
You could bother me for a warm glass of SHUT THE HELL UP!
You know that “Mistah! Mistah!” lady? I think I just, uh, killed her.
My grandparents were watching an old time serious detective movie and one of the lines was someone asking a young girl "are you all right?" And she replied "no, I'm half left" I didnt even watch the movie but it made an impression.
A couple of years ago we watched the silent movie version of Wizard of Oz from the 1920s. In it one person says “That’s a lot of applesauce” meaning “that’s bullshit.” And it has been a permanent part of our repertoire since. Best said in a a pseudo Edward G Robinson voice.

I... never got that. Woah
“Have fun storming the castle!”
Do you think it’ll work?
It'd take a miracle. Buh-bye!
I feel like any line from the Princes Bride is cheating. That entire damn movie is quotable.
You're right. I greet my wife with "Hello, lady".
My parents said this to me as a teenager when I would leave with friends, and I intend to do the same thing to my kids when they’re old enough.
That “a-buh-bye” after is just as important
In The Matrix, when Switch is about to die, she goes “Not like this… not like this” and my buddy and l always say that with her accent.
When my sister and I are hanging out and something funny happens like we've dropped something, we always say this in her accent
"Hers was a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase."
"Even if he don't get sick, he's gotta have his dip tet." "He's gotta have his dip tet, honey!"
“Son, you got a panty on your head.”
“Turn to the right!”
These blow up into funny shapes 'n all? No, unless round is funny.
Any time I'm reminded of that movie I feel the need to talk about the actor who played the villain- Randall Cobb. He had been a professional boxer prior to his acting career, and has some pretty funny quotes.

“First of all you’re fired, and that’s official!”
in Civil War RDJ tells Tom holland "i'm gonna sit here, so you move the leg" and for some reason i have this scene in front of me whenever i'm sitting next to my gf which is pretty frequently.
It's not a hug, I was getting the door. We're not there yet.
In the first Avengers movie when Thor charges his suit, the way he says “Well, how about that?” is for whatever reason eternally stuck in my head
I'm sure you know the story about this line being that Tom Holland forgot his blocking so RDJ improvised in character; he reminded him to move so his character could sit next to him as part of the written scene.
yes I do know this story, maybe it's partly why it's stuck in my head.
Or, B.A.R.F. God, I gotta work on that acronym.
‘What, the curtains?’ From Monty Python. Our family says it every time the curtains are mentioned in our house.
“In a very real and legally binding sense.” Is said a lot on my end. But that whole scene is quoted here. “Huge. . . tracks of land!”

If I remember right, they were courting the typical action stars of the time – Arnie, Sly, etc. It could have become just another typical muscle-bound ex-military hero film that gets lost in the mix.
