Intellectuelle

Hey, isn't anyone going to play?!!!

Okay, I'll play . . .

"master loves us" (LOTR, either 2 or 3).

"my precious" is also a favorite with us!

. . . we really aren't into movies, so those are the only 2 I can think of . . . though with my brother & some of our friends, Napoleon Dynamite references get mentioned a lot! ("you could be drinking whole", etc.)

I'm so-oorry, this is hard for people who don't do well at sitting still! (That is probably the number one reason why I don't watch movies.) Let's see...I do the Gollum-speak thing, too, but it is hard on the throat so I try to keep it to a minimum. Ohh, I know - I quote Forrest Gump a lot. Whenever I chance to say "but-tocks," it comes out like he says it. Hehe.

Hubby says ``As you wish'' to me (from Princess Bride) sometimes. When we were newly dating he said it to me all the time. Took me forever to catch on.

There are way to many for me to list. I'll give a few favorites though.

"Well, let me elighten you people." from Twister

"Doh" The Simpsons

"Stupid Bird" The Simpsons

"Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?" Monty Python's Holy Grail

"Game over, man. Game over." Aliens

"Dangit, Bobby." King of the Hill

"I sell propane and propane accessories." King of the Hill

"Stimpy you idiot." Ren & Stimpy

"See, strong bridge." Indian Jones, Temple of Doom.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Star Wars.

AND Perhaps my favorite....

in a very whiney voice..

"But I was going into Toshi Station to pick up some power converters" Luke in Star Wars

Thanks, to all. Nothing like a little whinin' to get some sympathy posts.

Laura, until a few years ago I didn't watch many movies. To this day if it has to be a really good movie for me to stay awake while watching it past 9 pm. (Band of Brothers is one of those.) Forgot about the Forrest Gump reference.

JH, if I had seen Napolean a few more times I would use more. We do use the skills reference often, especially after watching the short "Napolean Skywalker". We were reading about Jethro and Moses the other day and I managed to work in ND. I told the kids that Jethro told Moses he needed some people skills which led into other skills Moses needed. We were amused.

Monika, Princess Bride is oft quoted. Funny that hubby used it to woo you. :)

MC...wow. Thanks for the reminding me of King of the Hill. Just wondering how you work that last quote into conversation. :)

Of course, I can't hear a sermon on the Beatitudes without thinking of "Blessed are the cheesemakers."
(Thanks, Jack.)

My husband's contract job just ended so he's been quoting "Turn in your badge and your weapon. I don't want to see you anywhere near this investigation." from The Italian Job.

From the same movie, we sometimes quote, "I had a bad experience" and "F.I.N.E. - freaked out, insecure, neurotic, and emotional."

Of course the Princes Bride is always full of appropriate quotes for everyday life. And other movies that come up frequently are French Kiss, You've Got Mail, and Breakfast at Tiffany's....

Eddie loves to do voices. Some of his mainstays are:

"Fuh-get about it" (Hugh Grant in Johnny Blue Eyes)

The shrimp ("shramp") monologue from Forrest Gump

The bloodhound owner in Best of Show (hilarious Cohen brothers' movie about a dog show)

They tend to come in waves depending on what we've seen most recently.

oops...that should be "Mickey Blue Eyes"...I think.

Our three-year old has memorized entire videos (what does that say about me as mother...let's not *even* go there...at least she's memorized books also):

"Oh bothah" (Oh Bother--Winnie The Pooh)

"Careful, my coat" (Joseph Bible video)

"One day in Teletubbie Land...[insert Teletubbie character--or "All the Teletubbies"--and add an action]" (this one has become a game)

"Simba!" (this is when Daddy holds her or the baby up high)

Many more...

Some favorites around here are;
My son went through a spell of a few (precious) months when he was 8, where anytime I asked him to do *anything*, he would ever so sweetly and seriously say "As you wish...", which he knowingly quoted from The Princess Bride, meaning of course, I love you...*sighs*;)
"Inconceivable!" ~ The Princess Bride
"tut, tut, looks like rain..." ~Winnie the Pooh (that one just pops in my head whenever it... *looks like rain* LOL!
"And that's my twin sister, Doris, (as the fish in the tank points to her own reflection) Don't listen to a thing she says, she's NUTS!" (that's me!;) ~ Finding Nemo

I'm sure there's many more too, just can't think of them off the top of my head now...I'm sure my kids could give me an earful, but they're busy watching a movie right now, The Black Stallion Returns.

Our middle child, now almost five and very precocious, went through a phase where he quoted "Thomas the Tank Engine" all the time.

For example, we would tell him it was time to go to bed. He would shout "RUBBISH!" He would tell his siblings they were being "cheeky". Odd for an American preschooler.

He also quoted "Wallace and Gromit". When he ate, he would always say "Cracking toast, Gromit" when he liked what I served.

We quote "Raising Arizona" lines quite a bit.

Mopsy, that is hilarious! I so want my kids to have British diction (and pronunciation, but that is asking a bit much).

Maury: "What do you do when you fall off the horse? You get back on."
Derek: "Sorry, Maury, I'm not a gymnast."

I have sons in the mid-to-late teens. For a while, whenever I asked them a question that they didn't really want to answer, this would be the standard reply:

"How many abordigitals do you see modeling?"

Another favorite from Zoolander:"Have you ever wondered if there was more to life, other than being really, really, ridiculously good looking?"

Money Python and the Holy Grail:
Bedevere: What makes you think she's a witch?
Peasant: Well she turned me into a newt!
Bedevere: A newt?
Peasant: I got better.
Crowd: BURN HER ANYWAY!

Sir Bedevere: There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
Peasant 1: Are there? Oh well, tell us.
Sir Bedevere: Tell me. What do you do with witches?
Peasant 1: Burn them.
Sir Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from witches?
Peasant 1: More witches.
Peasant 2: Wood.
Sir Bedevere: Good. Now, why do witches burn?
Peasant 3: ...because they're made of... wood?
Sir Bedevere: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
Peasant 1: Build a bridge out of her.
Sir Bedevere: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
Peasant 1: Oh yeah.
Sir Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
Peasant 1: No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!
Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?
Peasant 1: Bread.
Peasant 2: Apples.
Peasant 3: Very small rocks.
Peasant 1: Cider.
Peasant 2: Gravy.
Peasant 3: Cherries.
Peasant 1: Mud.
Peasant 2: Churches.
Peasant 3: Lead! Lead!
King Arthur: A Duck.
Sir Bedevere: ...Exactly. So, logically...
Peasant 1: If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood.
Sir Bedevere: And therefore...
Peasant 2: ...A witch!

My sons can drive me crazy with this stuff. I have to admit, though, they do a pretty good job on the witch scene from Monty Python. I always laugh at that one.

Lexie,
Yeah, the skills reference can be applied to a whole lot of stuff! The best part is, half of my family does NOT like that movie . . . it's a good way to get half of them laughing, and the other half mad at the same time! :-)

I haven't seen "Napoleon Skywalker" but that sounds like that would be pretty funny!

Like, Laura, I can hardly watch movies. But I love musicals, especially Phantom of the Opera. My favorite lines are near the end when the Phantom has kidnapped Christine and taken her to his underground lair.

He complains about his past and how he received no compassion from anyone for his facial deformity. "A mask--my first unfeeling scrap of clothing. Pity comes too late! Turn around and face your fate! An eternity of this before your eyes!"

Christine then replies, "This haunted face holds no horror for me now. It's in your soul that the true distortion lies."

Mopsy, I'm not surprised at your lil' ones sense o' humor. I haven't even seen Wallace & Gromit and that made me laugh.

Dee, what a read. Did you have that memorized or did your son feed you lines? Either way, impressive.

Beth, I bet you hated to see that phase end.

Marla, does Eddie do Joey's "How YOU doin'?" Love the image of a little girl doing the Pooh "Oh, bother."

Anita, have to appreciate your husband's sense of humor.

Laura, I remember the Thomas videos when you want to train your kiddos.

JH, have to laugh that your family is split on ND. You can google Napolean Skywalker. Here's the link:

Hannah, powerful line.

Thanks for playing along and making us smile.

This was a great read and made me laugh.

The "What your doing is illegal" is from Weekend at Bernies.

Have to add one of the cheesiest lines in history from Twister:
"He's in it for the money, not for the science." speaking of corporate tornado seekers.

Permit me a movie geek moment, but: (psst, Marla, Best in Show is a Christopher Guest film. :)

For some reason my friends and I have taken to using the line "Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead" from Pulp Fiction. I have no idea how. And "Get in car, get in car!!" from the fun "making of" documentaries from the extended version of The Fellowship of the Ring.

Manders, my sleep deprivation (5 month-old not yet sleeping through the night) must be finally catching up to my brain. Thank you for that correction--Guest was the guy who did that rock star mockmentary (the name of which I'm also forgetting but I bet you know). Cohen Bros. are usually hit or miss for me: Hudsucker Proxy-hit, Raising Arizona-hit, Big Lebowski-near miss, Fargo-big miss, O Brother, Where...-hit (it's quite possible some of these are not Cohen Bros. films at all). Help me, Manders, I'm lost among my dying brain cells! ...at least Hollywood input is the first thing to go ;)

"It's just a flesh wound!" --from Monty Python

... and endless references to "second breakfast" (from The Fellowship of the Ring)

And I fall into the habit of saying, "Well ... there it is," all the time, imitating the Emporer in my favorite movie, "Amadeus."

From "When Harry Met Sally" - Marie tells Jess 'I want you know that I will NEVER want that wagon wheel coffee table'. It's a handy quote to know at my house.

From "Shadowlands" - Joy enters the restuarant and asks in a loud voice 'Anybody here named Lewis?'

From "Sarah, Plain and Tall" - Sarah writes a letter about her arrival, saying 'I shall be wearing a yellow bonnet'.

I never know what my sons are talking about, as they quote from movies all the time. Once, one of them said something particularly funny, and I said 'what movie is that from?'. That is now one of their favorite lines, as it WASN'T from any movie.

Waterfall, how could I forget the flesh wound?

Judy, that is funny about your sons. I thought my sister was being funny, but I soon learned she was just quoting movie lines. Now I know to ask, "What movie is that from?" when she says something funny. Don't get me wrong, she is funny in her own words, but for some reason, the movie lines fly off her tongue first. :)

BTW, do you have a wagon wheel table or are you referencing something else?

What about:

"While I am soteriologically Reformed, I am not a paedobaptist, so that whole angle doesn't really factor in for me. "

Jared just posted it on the "Rant" entry here. I was in shock and awe of the sentence, in a good way. Now I just have to go look up a couple of definitions and pronunciations so I can work it into or familial vocab.

Maybe it will be the next catch phrase of the millenium. Way to go, Jared.

Lexie, knowing Judy (online), I'm guessing she was referring to any unwanted object, but I could be wrong.

Two come to mind immediately but we've been using them for so long, the sources and exact wording are blurry. Here goes:

Kid to Clint Eastwood:"I had to kill him. He had it comin'"

CE to Kid: "Kid . . . we all got it comin'"

And John Cusak from "Say Anything":
"I don't want to buy anything sold or processed. I don't want to sell anything processed or bought, and I don't want to process anything bought or sold. . . I like kick boxing."

The 'wagon wheel coffee table' refers to anything my husband has that I don't like, or that I have that he doesn't like. Or, what we have that our kids don't like. He considers all my books 'wagon wheel coffee tables'. He will NEVER want them!

Another quote we use in our family a lot comes from Sally in the Charlie Brown Christmas cartoon. "All I want is what I have coming to me. All I want is my fair share."

"Life is like a box of choclates...you never know what you're gonna get..." Forest Gump...this quote is usually in relatation to our children.

Many Quotes from What About Bob?:

"Baby steppin..."
"I'm going the work...Gimme...Gimme"
"Gillllllll....."
"ouch...that hurts...ouch"

"Do you think he’s gone? He's not gone, he’s never gone!!"

From Arthur: (PBS not Dudley Moore)

"Cake, do I smell cake?" Mr. Ratburn

"I don't care if I'm one big scab and I'm 21, I'm going to do this!" D.W. as she's trying to learn to ride a two-wheeler. (This is one time when D.W. actually said something inspirational. Usually I tell the kids if they start acting like D.W., they don't get to watch Arthur.)

"Crazy bus, Crazy bus. Riding on that crazy bus."

"Hellooo, Love Ducks." (From the hilarious parody of Teletubbies.)

"Who is Dewey?!"

"Yo' mama said she's comin'." (D.W. talking about Yo-Yo Ma coming to perform at the library.)

Hi! I finally found you all continuing the movie quote thing over here!

Here is one from one of my all time favorite comedies (said when something turns out to be wildly, unexpectedly expensive)

Howard: How much is it without bufferin?

And this is not a one-liner but I love to quote this exchange:

Judy: I know I'm different, but from now on I'm going to try and be the same.
Howard: The same as what?
Judy: The same as people who aren't different.

Here are three from an obscure but hilarous little film, The Lost Skeleton of Cadavera:

Kro-Bar: I'm sorry, sometimes my wife forgets that she is not a space alien.

Animala: Rowr! (you really have to have seen the movie to appreciate these.)

Dr. Roger Fleming: I'm a scientist. I don't believe in anything. ('Scientist humor' is all through this film.)

OK, I'm going to have to stop. I'm thinking of more by the minute.

Glad you found the post and played along, Debra. Afterall, it really was your idea in the first place! :)

I'm debating on posting a quote from a Captain Underpants book that made me cry the firts time I heard it.

"GOSH!" -Napoleon Dynamite
