I’ll bite…My favorite movie lines, in no particular order…
Keaton once said, “I don’t believe in God, but I’m afraid of him.” Well I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is Keyser Soze. - Usual Suspects…Actually, the entire movie is basically one really great movie line…
Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have more responsibility here than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago’s death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. I know deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you don’t want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to. - A Few Good Men
All the ways you wish you could be, that’s me. I look like you wanna look, I fuck like you wanna fuck, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not.
When you have insomnia, you’re never really asleep… and you’re never really awake.
On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
If I did have a tumor, I’d name it Marla.
Life insurance pays off triple if you die on a business trip. -Fight Club
It’s not true. Some have great stories, pretty stories that take place at lakes with boats and friends and noodle salad. Just no one in this car. But, a lot of people, that’s their story. Good times, noodle salad. What makes it so hard is not that you had it bad, but that you’re that pissed that so many others had it good.
Melvin Udall: I’ve got a really great compliment for you, and its true.
Carol Connelly: I’m so afraid you’re about to say something awful.
Melvin Udall: Don’t be pessimistic, it’s not your style. Anyway, here goes: I’ve got this, what, ailment. Now, my doctor, this shrink I used to go to all the time, says that in fifty to sixty percent of cases, a pill really helps. I HATE pills, hate them. I’m using the word “hate” about pills. Anyway, my compliment to you is the night after you came over and said that you would never . . . well, you were there, you know what you said. Anyway, the very next morning, I started taking the pills.
Carol Connelly: I don’t quite get how that’s a compliment for me.
Melvin Udall: You make me want to be a better man.
What if this is as good as it gets?
Where do they teach you to talk like this? In some Panama City “Sailor wanna hump-hump” bar, or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else. We’re all stocked up here. - As Good As It Gets

It’s supposed to be hard. If it wasn’t hard, everyone would do it. The hard… is what makes it great. - A League of Their Own ( Hopefully, when I own my own gym, this will be painted on the wall)
MITCH: ?What was your best day Ed??
ED: ?I?m 14 and my mother and father are fighting again, you know, because she caught him again. This time, the girl drove by the house to pick him up. And I finally realized, he wasn?t just cheating on my mother, he was cheating on us. So I told him, I said, ?your bad to us, we don?t love you. I?ll take care of my mother and my sister, we don?t need you anymore.? Then he made like he was gonna hit me, but I didn?t budge. Then he turned around and he left, never bothered us again, but I took care of my mother and my sister from that day on. That?s my best day.?
PHIL: ?What was your worst day??

?One day, I got a call for a jumper; young Mexican girl, pregnant, infected with aids, totally strung out. She was truly one of the doomed. And I asked her to come in off the ledge and into my arms, and she asked me why she should bother living. Que es la punta de vivir?
?What?d you say??
?Well, I was trained to tell her lots of things, about her dreams and all the people that would miss her, but for a second, I hesitated, and she saw it. But in that second I couldn?t think of honestly, one optimistic thing to say to her. So she spread her arms and jumped.? - Identity
