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

[Dogstar]

"You gonna do something or just stand there and bleed"

 

[Cuango]

“You dig like a dog.”

 

[Cuango]

“Only an Arab would bring a dog to war.”

 

[Lafayette]

"You. What the Hell was that?"

"I have it under control"

"I'd hate to see it out of control"

 

[RockyMTblue2]

"just a flesh wound"

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

 

[RockyMTblue2]

How about this:
I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do.

Where is that from?

 

[RockyMTblue2]

"One of you's gotta drive to the hospital"

"What the hell just rolled into Margrave."

 

[nwhoopfan]

"You gonna do something or just stand there and bleed"

Tombstone

 

[Skeets]

For all of our military folks in the yard:

"I bet you could suck a golf ball through a garden hose".

 

[BBallF]

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

"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.

Priscilla Presley......"Thanks I just had it stuffed "

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?"

Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Pride and Prejudice.

Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Pride and Prejudice.

Excellent. "What are men compared to rocks and mountains?"

 

[CL82]

"One of you's gotta drive to the hospital"

"What the hell just rolled into Margrave."

"I know where the hospital is."

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Tombstone

"You may go." Val was such a gentlman.

 

[CL82]

"Sure, they're cute now, but in a second they're gonna get mean, and they're gonna get ugly somehow, and there's gonna be a million more of them."

 

[Jim]

"Somebody go back and get a shitload of dimes."

My family just watched the three best versions of P&P -- BBC 1980ish, Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth, and Keira Knightley and Matthew Mcfaddyn. I haven't read the book in probably 10 years, maybe when I'm recovering from upcoming surgery. I try to read that along with Persuasion, S&S, and Northanger Abbey every five years or so, the meatier ones less often.

Oh, I think Lizzie said this when her aunt and uncle were taking taking her to the Lake District, not too long after an encounter with the "last man she'd ever marry."

Oh I should've known that one. Love that movie. That must've been the scene with the tiny little miner aliens. And the pig lizard. And rock monster. That movie has a lot going on in it.

If I didn't go with this one, I would've gone with "it doesn't take a good actor to recognize a bad one. You're sweating."
