OT: What's the strangest line said that you heard in a box office movie?

[SVCBeercats]

"You learn a lot watching things eat."

“One of us had to die. With me, it tends to be the other guy.”​

 

[Blond D.]

Is that a 10 gallon hat or are you just enjoying the show?

 

[Aluminny69]

well the first is from "when harry met sally" and the second is from "Dr. stranglove" the other 2 I don't have a clue.

Hint: “You relax. You’re the dead guy.” Oda Mae Brown, aka Whoopi Goldberg

 

[Puppy Love]

“Do you think he wants a piece of cheese?”

This is from the movie Arthur, 1981. near the end of the movie, Arthur’s potential father-in-law is angry because Arthur is drunk at the church. He grabs the cheese knife with the intent of killing Arthur. Arthur says “do you think he wants a piece of cheese?”. The Liza Minnelli character replies “I think we’re going to die”. Although the ‘cheese’ line was very funny, it was pretty unexpected given the circumstances.

That was a nice one. I didn't figure it out until you explained it, but then I remembered the scene and laughed.

Yes a very good one. Better than Arthur saying, "Do you want another fish", or something like that at the Plaza restaurant.

I guess the fat lady has sung. But a few unanswered questions still exist.

Ok, I will crawl back under my rock.

I thought the question was, “what is the strangest line you heard in a bar?”

Mine, “Buzz off soldier” and “Fat chance”.

 

[64Zcode]

"When's the last time you picked your feet, Willy? You ever been to Poughkeepsie? You picked your feet in Poughkeepsie, didn't ya?
I know a guy in Poughkeepsie wants to talk to you."

LANGUAGE WARNING - But not too bad
I guess I should have watched the clip before trying to type the quotes by memory. I didn't get them verbatim but came pretty close.

Gene Hackman in The French Connection

 

[Forego]

"You put a fox in the hen house and he'll have chicken for dinner every night"

The Quick and the Dead. Also Gene Hackman line.

That too; riotously funny scene. Reduced, on one leg, to head butting and then ....

"Nice beaver."

After the follow up line to that, I was literally rolling on the floor laughing so hard I missed the next five minutes of the movie.

The Lilo & Stitch remake (2025) has now earned more at the box office than Lilo & Stitch (2002). This is because the average cost of a movie ticket in 2025 is $16, instead of the $5.81 it was in 2002.​

"Heaven and earth, are the shades of Pemberly to be thus polluted?"
