Don't cross the streams!
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Bacon is the candy bar of meats!

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

How about lines that were not in movies but were a direct derivative thereof?

Like: "If you hear banjos, RUN!!"

Ok, line from a movie. My favorite of all:

"That's where my dog Spot is buried right there."

    This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.
    He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
    Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named,
    And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
    He that shall live this day, and see old age,
    Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
    And say, "To-morrow is Saint Crispian."
    Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
    And say, "These wounds I had on Crispian's day."
    Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
    But he'll remember with advantages
    What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
    Familiar in his mouth as household words,
    Harry the King, Bedford, and Exeter,
    Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
    Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
    This story shall the good man teach his son;
    And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
    From this day to the ending of the world,
    But we in it shall be remembered-
    We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
    For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
    Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
    This day shall gentle his condition:
    And gentlemen in England now a-bed
    Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
    And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
    That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day."
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Oh my God. I'm back. I'm home. All the time, it was... We finally really did it.

You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I'm Hub McCann. I've fought in two World Wars and countless smaller ones on three continents. I led thousands of men into battle with everything from horses and swords to artillery and tanks. I've seen the headwaters of the Nile, and tribes of natives no white man had ever seen before. I've won and lost a dozen fortunes, KILLED MANY MEN and loved only one woman with a passion a FLEA like you could never begin to understand. That's who I am. NOW, GO HOME, BOY!
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

OK, let me try this from memory.

"Mr. Corleone is Johnny Fontane's godfather. To the Italian people that's a very sacred, close relationship."

"I understand that. Just tell him he should ask me for anything else, but this is one favor I can't give him."

"He never asks for a second favor when he's been refused a first. Understand?"

"You don't understand, Tom. Johnny Fontane never gets that picture. That part is perfect for him. It will make him a big star. And I'm going to run him out of the business! And let me tell you why.

Johnny Fontane ruined one of Woltz International's most valuable proteges. For five years I had her under acting lessons, singing lessons, dancing lessons. I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on her. I was going to make her a star.

And to be more frank, and to show you I'm not a hard hearted man and it's all dollars and cents: she was young, she was beautiful, she was innocent. She was the greatest piece of **expletive deleted** I've had, and I've had them all over the world!

And then along comes Johnny Fontane with his olive oil voice and guinea charm. And she ran off with him. She threw it all away to make me look ridiculous. And a man in my position can't afford to look ridiculous. So you get the hell out of here! And you tell that gumbah if he tries any rough stuff, I ain't no band leader. Yeah, I heard that story."

"Mr. Woltz, thank you for dinner and a pleasant evening. If your car could take me to the airport, Mr. Corleone is a man who insists on hearing bad news immediately."

If that machine can do what you say it can do, destroy it, George! Destroy it before it destroys you!
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
