View Full Version : Film and tv one-liners
FlyingForFun 9th Oct 2002, 09:42 Does anyone have any favourite one-liners from well-known films or tv programs?
Here are a couple to start the ball rolling:
From Top Gun:
"You screw up just this much, and you'll be flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog-sh!t out of Hong Kong."
From Con Air:
The hero writes the name of the police detective on a dead body, then throws the body out of the aircraft. The detective is told:
"There's a body fallen out of the sky, and it's got your name written all over it!"
And from The Simpsons (various episodes)
"Not a guarantee"
Any more?

Anthony Carn 9th Oct 2002, 09:52 Maybe after 10 pm 9th Oct. , but keep it quiet ! ;)
FlyingForFun 9th Oct 2002, 10:16 Anthony,
Although I will, sadly, be busy between 9pm and 10pm, and I forgot to set my video recorder, it's my understanding that the most interesting bits of the program will be visual scenes, and not one liners. Therefore, not relevant to this thread.
Maybe we could start another thread where you can link to pictures of your favourite tv/film scenes? Or maybe not! :D

Grim Reaper 14 9th Oct 2002, 10:40 Anything from a Fu-Fu Manchu film ;)
Michael Caine in Italian Job (i think)
you're only supposed to blow the b***** doors off
Any Peter Sellers line with "minkey" or "bumb" in it.
Red Dwarf - Crighton to Lister "are you sure you want to go to red alert sir, i will have to change the lightbulb"
Also Red Dwarf - "smoke me a kipper i'll be back for breakfast"
I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice ciante - ssssssss

Apologies for diverging from your original question . Your expert use of diplomacy in steering me back onto the subject is appreciated . :)
Your suggestion re video links has potential , but may generate a screen with lots of magenta lettering all over it , produced by someone in a "Flap" , followed by a blank screen . :eek:
Best not !
Any of the Blackadder one liners is sure to get me chuckling !
One of my favourites is :
"Youre as slow as an asthmatic ant with heavy shopping " :D
GustyOrange 9th Oct 2002, 11:20 Dumb and Dumber has so many funny one liners that it would be impossible to pick just one.
:D :D :D
buvenbee-hind 9th Oct 2002, 11:43 Phoenix nights
"the answer is ... the shroud of Turin"
"ahhh,....what did we put......Lisa Stansfield"
Royle Family
Jim to Denise who'se waters have just broken
"Are you sure it wasn't just a bloody big p1ss"
FlyingForFun 9th Oct 2002, 11:48 Paulc, how could I possibly have forgotten that line from Italian Job - an all-time classic!
And as for Red Dwarf, there are so many I don't know where to start.
"Oh come on Lister, it's as plain as a Bulgarian pin-up"
Or "Hey, this stuff's beautiful. Anyone got a popadom the size of Lake Michigan?"
Or, when Lister asked Holly about the lipstick mark on his face: "What face?"
And I have to admit the light bulb one is one of my favourites.
Rimmer: "I'd like to remind you abaout Space Directive 12345" (or whatever number it is"
Kryten: "Space Directive 12345? Sir, I hardly see how a Rabbi and chicken are going to help us right now!"
I could go on, but then I'd reveal myself as a huge Red Dwarf fan, and we wouldn't want that...

DuckDogers 9th Oct 2002, 12:30 RedDwarf, Cat talking to Crighton in Starbug 1:
Cat - "So let's just drop the defensive shield."
Crighton - " A superlative suggestion sir with just two minor drawbacks, 1, we don't have any defensive shields and two we don't have any defnsive shields. Technically i know they're both the same, but i thought it was that important so i'd mention it twice!"
Life of Brian
"Don't call me big nose!"
Life of Brian
Jewish citizen to Roman guard: "Roman git".
Roman guard to Jewish citizen: "Jewish turd".
(Just one of many hundreds of examples from that film)

Blackadder II
Sir Walter Raliegh: "The rain is so hard it can slice a man in two"
Edmund: "Some kind of hat is in order than"
and
Edmund in bed with a woman of ill repute: "Baldrick, meet Molly, an inexpensive prostitute, Molly, meet Baldrick, a pointless peasant"
and
Edmund to physician: "I'm having trouble with my manservent"
Physician to Edmund: "Well, pop your manservent on the table and lets have a look at it"

TopHole 9th Oct 2002, 13:17 From the film Dick Tracy.
Madonna (playing Breathless Mahoney, with the hots for Tracy) as she walks in on Warren Beatty (Playing Tracy) unexpectedly, as he was expecting his girlfriend back with some ice cream:
Tracy:
"What flavour did you get?"
Mahoney:
"I got peach and you better eat it quick as it's gettin' all runny"
Hagbard the Amateur 9th Oct 2002, 13:42 From "Withnail & I"
Richard E. Grant with a hangover:
"I feel like a pig sh@<hidden> in my head!!!"
GoneWest 9th Oct 2002, 14:24 Reminds me of Peter Sellers in "There's a Girl In My Soup" - after a night of heavy drinking.....
"My eyes feel like p*ss holes in the snow"
(Actually - thinking about it - it was said "TO" Sellers by....by....who played the lead in all those "Confessions of......" series??)
From Elvira:
"How's your head Elvira?"
Elvira: "Well, I haven't had any complaints yet" :eek:
SET 18 9th Oct 2002, 14:47 An old one I know:
From Just Good Friends, when Vince unexpectedly met Penny and her new rather prudish boyfriend in a restaurant; The boyfriend was in the middle of ordering some sort of nut cutlet or something
Penny: Ah Vince, this is Robert. (Short pause while order was told to waiter)
Vince: (Looking confused)
Penny: Robert is a vegan Vince. (another pause) You do know what a vegan is don't you Vince? (cue smug look from Robert)
Vince: Of course I do! I never missed an episode of Star Trek.....
Still makes me chuckle even today.
Select Zone Five 9th Oct 2002, 16:53 Another from Blackadder I'm afraid...
Blackadder: I can see why the suffragette movement are wanting the vote.
Flasheart: Hey, hey! Any girl who wants to chain herself to my railings and suffer a jet movement gets my vote!
Superb :D
And I can't remember most of the dialogue but the scene in 'Running Man' when Arnie uses someone's back to rest on whilst signing a document. He signs the piece of paper and then jabs the pen through it into the guys back...he says 'Be sure to send me a copy' :D
Don't start me on Blackadder quotations we'll be here all night.....just one of my favourites then......:
General Melchett "And in France last year the upper echelons suffered from horrendous uprisings from the bottom!"
Blackadder "Yes Sir but surely that was traced to a shipment of garlic eclairs" :D
the funky munky 9th Oct 2002, 22:08 Blackadder
Some of the funniest one liners ever
Baldrick: I have a cunning plan my lord.
Blackadder: Baldrick, you wouldn't know a cunning plan if it painted itself purple jumped on a harpsicord and sang cunning plans are here again!
Blackadder: Thank god I wore my corset for my sides have surely split.
Lord Flashheart: Treat your plane like your woman get in her 5 times a day and take her to heaven and back, woof, woof.
And last Blackadder one liner (excuse me if it is not quite correct)
Blackadder: I have a plan so cunning it is more cunning than a fox with a degree in cunningness from the University of cunning!
pigboat 10th Oct 2002, 01:01 From Blazing Saddles
Lili von Sthupp: "Is it twue what they say about you black men, err..ahhh.. (sound of zipper) It's twue! It's twue!"
Sheriff Bart: "Err..excuse me lady, you're sucking my arm.":eek: :cool:
Grim Reaper 14 10th Oct 2002, 10:45 A bit out of place, but a good quote nonetheless.
The West Indian fast bowler of a few years ago, Joel Garner (who is 6ft 8) was at a posh reception of some sort. A very gentile woman walked up to him and was asking him questions about his stature, commenting that he was extremely tall, but still in perfect proportion. The question was then raised as to whether 'everything' about him was in proportion. There was a pause, and Joel replied, "Madam, if everything about me was in proportion, I'd have to be 8ft 6....":eek:
In Altissimus 10th Oct 2002, 12:37 "Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others."
-- Groucho Marx
G SXTY 10th Oct 2002, 12:39 Edmund Blackadder (II) –on the thorny subject of inviting Lord & Lady Whiteadder for dinner:
“They do, however, have one redeeming feature – their wallets. As capacious as an elephant’s scrotum, and just as difficult to get your hands on.”
Wobbles 10th Oct 2002, 14:14 From Chicken Run:
Babs says:
"I don't want to be a pie.............I don't like gravy!"
Sad, aren't I!:D

Actually the temporary gnashers seem to work OK except for very long words which sometimes get stuck in them - no idea why.
Firestorm 10th Oct 2002, 16:55 Nick Cotton in 'Eastenders', talking to his son Ashley who had just knackered the brakes on Mark Fowlers' motorbike:
"Well done son: a chip off the old block. Come on: I'll buy you some crisps!"
You might expect a joint or a rock of crack, but no, Albert Squares' hard man buys his son a packet crisps!!!
And Ray in 'Love, Honour and Obey' when trying to have an argument with his actress girlfriend, but is interrupted by the rather camp director:
"Shut up! You're fat and I'll throw you in the river!":)
Blacksheep 11th Oct 2002, 04:15 Zulu. Thousands of warriors approaching, banging rythmically on their shields. The Comany Sergeant Major snarls at one trembling young soldier in the front row...

BUMPFF 11th Oct 2002, 04:15 From an episode of 'Cracker':

"You stand as much chance of getting off this as I do of sh@<hidden> Mother Theresa."
After Fawlty's new chef tried to seduce Manuel:
"I should have never hired a frenchman!"
"He's Greek, Mr. Fawlty!"

BEXIL160 11th Oct 2002, 18:22 Star Trek IV "The journey home", is playing in the background as I type this.
20th century lady oceanographer: "I suppose you're going to tell me you're from outer space?!!!"

BahrainLad 11th Oct 2002, 19:21 Blackadder (again!)
Nurse: Well he pooh-poohed the Captain sir and said he'd never find the spy.
Melchett: Is this true Blackadder? Did Captain Darling pooh-pooh you?
Blackadder: Well maybe just a little....
Melchett: Well damn it all what more evidence do you need! The pooh-poohing alone is a court-martial offence!
Blackadder: I can assure you sir that the pooh-poohing was purely circumstantial.
Melchett: Well I hope so, Blackadder, becuase it's one thing the Army has tought me: never ignore a pooh-pooh. I knew a Major who got pooh-poohed: made the mistake of ignoring the pooh-pooh. He pooh-poohed it. Fatal error. Becuase it turned out that the soldier who pooh-poohed him had pooh-poohed a lot of other officers, who'd pooh-poohed their pooh-poohs. In the end we had to disband the regiment! Morale totally destroyed! By pooh-pooh!
<phew....>
and more:
Edmund: And then the final, irrefutable proof. Remember, you mentioned a clever boyfriend...
Nurse: Yes.
Edmund: I then leapt on the opportunity to test you. I asked if he'd been to one of the great universities: Oxford, Cambridge, or Hull...
Nurse: Well?
Edmund: You failed to spot that only two of those are great universities.
Nurse: You swine!
Melchett: That's right -- Oxford's a complete dump!
You want it when? 12th Oct 2002, 00:46 Welll, Italian Jobs been done, as have some of the best of Blackadder. Hot Shots has one or two lines that are memorable but I guess I'd go for
"Failure is not an option" Appolo 13.
from Spinal Tap
"but this one goes upto 11" :D
Whiskey Zulu 12th Oct 2002, 09:24 Bottom.
Eddie hitler " Zulu's, thousands of them. Don't shoot till you see the white's of their eyes lads."
Ritchie "really?"
Eddie "Do you know, they could have won that if they kept their eyes closed."
Select Zone Five 12th Oct 2002, 10:06 I just watched 'Cliffhanger' with Sylvester Stallone and this one made me laugh...
Qualen (psycho): I must admit, you're a real piece of work.
Gabe (hero): Yeah....and I must admit, you're a real piece of sh*t.
:D
and this one...
Tucker: If your looking for Qualen, try about 4,000 feet south of here. He'll be the one wearing the helicopter.
:D
Capt Homesick 12th Oct 2002, 11:06 Also Apocalypse Now: "Forget Charlie. Charlie don't surf."
Or from Buffy: "He's turned into a sixteen-year-old boy. Of course you'll have to kill him."
And, at the risk of getting chewed out for exceeding one line, Harry Lime in The Third Man:
"In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias, they had war, terror and murder, yet they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love. They had five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
Crossedcontrols 12th Oct 2002, 11:31 From that cultural classic Carry on Cleo, (I think)
Julius Caesar on being attacked.
"Infamy… Infamy …... they've all got it informe".

In "Airplane," they're all wrapped up, trying to land, and the doctor pokes his head in the cockpit and says, "I just want you to know, we're all counting on you back here...."
Sitting on the panel, I sometimes blurt out that line at the commencement of a tricky approach or crosswind landing (sterile cockpit be damned). About 20% of the front seaters recognize it and laugh.
Commander Bounce 13th Oct 2002, 21:49 Predator (film):
"You're bleeding!", response from big guy chewing 'bacco "I aint got time to bleed"
also from same film different soldier "I said to my girlfriend the other night 'I'd like a little pussy' she said 'me too, mine is as big as a house' "
and from same guy, same film: "I said to my girlfriend, 'Gee thats a big pussy - Gee thats a big pussy', she said 'why did you say that twice?', 'I didn't it was the echo....' "

I think my favourite is the courtroom one with the Psychiatrist and the Prosecutor - -
"Dr Smith, what's your impression of Ted Striker?"
"I'm sorry, I don't do impressions - my qualification is in psychiatry..."
Then there's the classic L.A. Confidential's inimicable Captain Smith...
"I admire your refusal to testify against your fellow officers. I admire you as an officer - particularly your adherence to violence, as a necessary adjunct of the law. And I am most impressed with your punishment of women beaters...do you hate them, Wendell?"
"Reciprosity, Mr Hutchens, is the key to every relationship.."

clarry22 15th Oct 2002, 23:35 One of my favourites is from a Clint Eastwood movie set in years gone by. Clint rides into town and discovers some poor guy getting dragged of his horse drawn wagon & set upon by a bunch of thugs. Clint rides up and single handedly beats the crap out of three of the 4 thugs. Then he notices the 4th thug about to put a match to the old guys wagon and in one smooth movement belts him over the head with a largish block of wood. As thug number four falls to the ground unconscious Clint very coolly says"Shouldn't play with matches". Absolutely pricless one liner.
C22:D
Another Clint Eastwood classic from, I think, Pale Rider. He's having trouble with some thugs and having despatched one, is standing on the stoop of the local bar drinking a beer, when another gang member sneaks up behind him brandishing a knife.
Clint, of course, spots the guy and without turning round pulls out his gun and says "You know, your going to look awfully silly with that knife sticking out of your a$$"
trimpot 16th Oct 2002, 11:23 One of the Griswell movies. They take off on holiday in the car and are pulled over some time latter by a sherrif with a southern drawl who is holding the end of a frayed dog lead in his hand (they have taken off with the dog tied to the car) The sherrif says, "He would have kept up with you for a few miles". Actually pee'd my pant the first time I heard that.
Clint Eastwood in The Eiger Sanction (1975)
"Give me some slack."
Warren Rabbit 16th Oct 2002, 12:52 From Butch Cassidy;
Paul Newman (scratching his head and genuinely baffled);
"If he'd just give me the money he's paying for me to stop robbing 'im, I'd stop robbing 'im!"
Capt Homesick 17th Oct 2002, 01:05 Ok, so this was a real quote before it was in a movie; A Bridge Too Far : General Horrocks addresses his troops before setting out for Arnhem:
"You can tell your grandchildren about this- and thoroughly bored they'll be!"
Chaffers 17th Oct 2002, 17:42 Michael Caine in Water
"They're French, I can smell the bloody Garlic".
Billy Connolly in Water
"There goes our breakfast"
Both creased me up.
Mahatmagoon 17th Oct 2002, 18:03 This is not only a line from a film but a true story of how it was delivered...
John Wayne was awarded a part in The Greatest Story Ever Told, a Hollywood epic about the origins of Christianity. Charlton Heston played Moses and it had a cast full of stars.
JW was to play the centurion who was converted to Christianity after seeing Christ dying on the cross. Time comes for rehearsals for his big line:
"Truly this was the Son of God" (try saying it with a slow JW type drawl)
Director:
"Cut!! John, do you think you could say it with a bit more awe?? Action!!"
"Aw truly this was the Son of God"
And they kept it in!!

Capt. Amazing 4th Nov 2002, 22:35 Here's a great Full Metal Jacket link:
Full Metal Jacket (http://www.ebaumsworld.com/jacket.html)
Monty Python Life of Brian:
"OLD WOMAN
Well, how did you become king, then?
ARTHUR
The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held Excalibur aloft from the bosom of the water to signify by Divine Providence ... that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur ...
That is why I am your king!
OLD WOMAN
Is Frank in? He'd be able to deal with this one.
DENNIS
Look, strange women lying on their backs in ponds handing out
swords ... that's no basis for a system of government. Supreme
executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
ARTHUR
Be quiet!
DENNIS
You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
ARTHUR
Shut up!"
:D
flowman 4th Nov 2002, 23:41 Can't remember the lines but Inspector Grim in "The Thin Blue Line" came out with some real crackers. Anyone able to supply the words to the "namby-pamby hoity-toity" speech?
EI-TURKEY 4th Nov 2002, 23:47 Star Trek, First contact
Troy : 'Time, we can't talk about time, we have'nt got the time'
Or words to that effect, left me laughing at the 'time':D :D :D
Select Zone Five 5th Nov 2002, 07:32 Is Inspector Grim the bald guy? I remember him once explaining that a mistake by his staff would leave him responsible...
"Your cock-up.....my arse!" :D
Or when talking into his radio..."Tango, tango...two Cokes and a Sprite" :p
nick24 5th Nov 2002, 11:13 From Seinfeld
Elaine - Do you want to come to the ballet?
Jerry - No. (pause) I've seen people on tiptoes before.
Kind of sums up this art form for me...

DuckDogers 10th Nov 2002, 15:28 Grafton to Ops O (David Schwimmer) in Flight of the Intruder:
"I'm not B qualified, i've never even sat in the thing."
From Grosse Point Blanke:
"Don't tease me Marcella you know what i do for a living."
EI_Sparks 10th Nov 2002, 16:29 From flight of the intruder, after a long bomb run with every SAM in north korea and most of the tracer rounds shot at the plane, they go to drop the bombs and nothing happens :
"They didn't drop"
"You gotta be shittin' me"
:D Just the tone of the voice at that moment is hilariously funny :D
And from Always, the part where Dreyfuss is sitting in the forest getting his hair cut :
"...and then my plane blew up! *laughs* Hey, how did I get out of that one?"
:D
And from later in the film, where the new guy is following the "follow me" truck that's a runaway :
"I think we're being a little gullible here, don't you?"
:D
Taildragger55 11th Nov 2002, 09:32 From Aussie Vietnam movie (A few angry shots?)
Sergeant to Bryan Brown, in incredibly tense moment as both lurk in long grass outside a shack probably chock full of Vietcong;
"Like to take a look?"
Brown, with withering look,
"You filthy pervert"
Nearly wet myself for some reason
LowNSlow 11th Nov 2002, 12:57 Not from a film or tv but real life.
A few years ago a friend of mine was travelling through Nagasaki with his Japanese interpreter enroute to visit Mitsubishi :
"Not many old buildings around here are there?"
As he realised just what he said, he tried in vain to find the ejector seat handle.............
TheKentishFledgling 11th Nov 2002, 18:01 Whilst the Brits are loosing the Battle for Arnhem Bridge, a young German walks out onto the Bridge with a big white flag.
German (waving white flag): "My General says, there's no point in continuing with this fighting. He is willing to discuss a surrender."
Colonel Johnny Crisp (Anthony Hopkins): "We haven't the proper facilities to take you all prisoner. Sorry."
German: "What?!"
Johnny Crisp: "We'd like to, but we can't accept your surrender."
Long silence.
Johnny Crisp: "Was there anything else?"
Classic.

At a certain moment he says to a guy:" You are funny, I'll kill you last". A while later he is holding that guy over a cliff.
guy:" but, but...you promised you would kill me last..."
Arni:" I lied..." and he drops the guy.
newswatcher 10th Jul 2003, 21:12 Watched Leon again yesterday evening.
Closing scene:
Leon who has been badly injured, gets to the ground floor of the apartment block, by pretending to be one of the SWAT squad.
He collapses to the floor, and Stansfield approaches him. Leon holds out a blood-stained hand and says something like - "Matilda asked me to give you this". His hand opens to reveal a grenade safety pin. Stansfield opens Leon's coat to reveal a chest pouch with at least 6 grenades.
He just has time to say "Shit", and then there is an almighty explosion!
CarryOnLuggage: How can you mention "The Blues Brothers" and not include:-
Elwood: It's a hundred and six miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
Jake: Hit it!
Best car chase ever! Possibly the most expensive to film!
Twin Peaks was a mass of quotes...
Pete: "Don't drink that coffee! There was a fish in the percolator!"
Cooper: "Who's the lady with the log?"
Truman: "We call her the Log Lady"
The Owls are not what they seem.
Truman: That's Glastonbury grove.
Cooper: Glastonbury! The ancient burial site of King Arthur!
Pete: King Arthur's buried in England. Last I heard.
(It's sadly ironic that Jack Nance who played Pete Martell in Twin Peaks died after a brawl in a donut shop.)
