Mine is from an early 2000s film called Vanilla Sky.
“The sweet is never as sweet without the sour.”
“It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.”
Jean-Luc Picard
“A lie of omission is still a lie!!”
- Jean Luc Picard berating Wesley and also me, angry at my cats when I ask them if they knocked over the bag of treats and ate all the treats, and they refuse to answer me
There. Are. FOUR LIGHTS!! Also Jean Luc. Anytime I’m telling my SO there are 4 of something. This is probably why we can’t keep friends.
“The line must be drawn here. This far, no farther!”
Also Jean-Luc Picard
And I will make them pay for what they’ve done.
There’s so many good moments in that movie. It is my favorite trek movie.
And also more importantly Quark.
Lieutenant Worf : [referring to Admiral Satie] I believed her. I, I helped her. I did not see what she was.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Mister Worf, villains who twirl their moustaches are easy to spot. Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well camouflaged.
Lieutenant Worf : I think… after yesterday, people will not be so ready to trust her.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Maybe. But she, or someone like her, will always be with us, waiting for the right climate in which to flourish, spreading fear in the name of righteousness. Vigilance, Mister Worf - that is the price we have to continually pay.
Reminds me of
“Nothing everything is a lesson. Sometimes you just fail.” ~ Dwight Schrute, The Office
Picard is a real quote machine. The one closest to my heart is:
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : There’s no greater challenge than the study of philosophy.
Wesley Crusher : But William James won’t be on my Starfleet exams.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : The important things never will be. Anyone can be trained in the mechanics of piloting a starship.
Wesley Crusher : And Starfleet Academy…
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Takes more. Open your mind to the past - art, history, philosophy. And all this may mean something.

No, just endless Simpsons references that fall on deaf ears.
You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is…never try.
Oh, don’t worry. Their idea of wit is nothing more than an incisive observation humorously phrased and delivered with impeccable timing.
You’ll have to speak up, I’m wearing a towel.

That’s for trying to take credit for other people’s work!

Ha ha!
Me to a Chinese teacher called Nick: ‘Hello everybody! Hi Doctor Nick!’
*Confused face
I’m good for like the first 10 seasons, which are the best 10 seasons. I grew up on it and rewatched a lot of them as an adult. It’s funnier as an adult.
Yeah seasons 3 through 8 were the Conan O’Brien years. That’s the golden era.
But there are excellent episodes outside of that. I personally think “SE12 EP18 - Trilogy of Errors” is a top 5 episode. It’s the one where marge cuts off homer’s thumb, Milhouse finds fireworks in a cave and Lisa builds a
partygrammar robot. I haven’t seen enough of seasons beyond like 20 or so to comment on them, but Ive heard they’ve actually been hitting a solid stride since the pandemic.Linguo dead?
Linguo IS dead* 🤖
You’re failing, Seymour! What’s with you and failing?!
He’s not just some guy, marge, he’s a carny. And part of a noble tradition. Carnys built this country!
… The carnival part of it anyway.
I get the best eye-rolls followed by smiles from my wife when I say: “you choo-choo choose me?”
I have three kids and no money, why can’t I have no kids an three money!
The all ighty …ollar?
Oh hahaha I get it!
I am the lizard Queen!
Aw Lisa, honey, just because I don’t care doesn’t mean I don’t understand!
You tried your best and you failed miserably! The lesson is: never try.
¡Parque Gordasico!
I’m here for them. 😉
I bring you love 👽
It’s bringing love, don’t let it get away!! Break its legs!!
BUT WHY DID I HAVE THE BOWL BART? WHY DID I HAVE THE BOWL??
The goggles, the do nothing!
Aziz light!
(Fifth Element)
I use this one a lot. Also, I’ve been known to say “mool-tee-pass” when handing over my ID.
What a banger of a movie
Even as late as last year, I walked into a dark room, half shouted “Aziz!” and someone turned on a light.
He later claimed to have never heard of the movie.
Another quote I love to use is, “Cheeken good.”
What a banger of a movie
What a banger of a movie
So, it’s a banger then?

One of my all-time favorites. Whenever I have to point to something on a map, I always say “Dot!” with a Leeloo accent… no one gets it.
Such a banger of a movie.
Flame thrower - my favorite
“Kick his ass, Sea Bass!”
What’s the soup de jour?
It’s the soup of the day
Mmm sounds good. I’ll have that.
ITT, people giving quotes but not saying from what movie
They asked for the quote, not the movie. :-D
What movie is this from?
It’s fun to try to guess!
I do believe that would be the point.
“Would you like to know more?”
I’m doing my part!
“Tell me more!”
When Martin is playing the “my dinner with Andre” arcade game in the simpsons. It’s too obscure to ever explain it in the real world.
Starship Troopers, if anyone is wondering.
I use this line a lot! I love that film!
I also say, “Negative. I am a meat popsicle.” Whenever a captcha asks if I’m human and there are people around.
Smoke you!
These are my go to quotes from Snatch and The Big Lebowski that I use whenever the occasion arises. Not everyone gets the reference. I also refer to my anxiety meds as “anti anxiety disco biscuits.” I got that one from Shameless - my doctor got a kick out of that.
“What’s happening with them sausages, Charlie?”
“In the quiet words of the Virgin Mary… come again?”
“D’ya like dags?”
“You’re out of your element!”
“This aggression will not stand, man.”
“Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man”
“This is what happens when you fuck a man in the ass!” is a favorite of mine.
I like the edited for TV version too “…when you FIND A STRANGER IN THE ALPS!!!”
Lmao you just reminded me. I’m a fan of indie folk singer Phoebe Bridgers. Her debut album was titled “Stranger in the Alps” and it took me like two years to realize why that phrase sounded so familiar.

I hope you’re not going around smashing up other peoples cars ;)
I had a roommate once who kept walking in and contributing to conversations with no idea what was happening, so “You’re out of your element!” became a staple.
I once had a dog who was a bit of an asshole, but I loved the cheeky bastard. He knew he wasn’t supposed to be in the kitchen and would purposely lie on the floor and place one paw on the kitchen tile that separated it from the living room and just stared at me. I’d frequently shout, “OVER THE LINE!”
But that was just between me and him. :)
OMG I’m gonna start using this. My dogs also know not to come in the kitchen but they think as long as their back feet are still on the carpet they are not in the kitchen.
YES!!! They totally know what they are doing! LOL
I love that! Hahaha
It’s great that the opportunity has arisen for you to ask someone whether they like dags.
“You can call me Susan if it makes you happy…”
I use it all the time“You can call me Susan if it makes you happy…”
I use it all the time“You can call me Susan if it makes you happy…”
I use it all the time
I’m currently rewatching this movie right now. I LOVE that line!
“You can call me Susan if it makes you happy…”
I use it all the timeI love the safe for TV dub of John Goodman beating up the corvette:
“THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FIND A STRANGER IN THE ALPS!”
I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve
Excuse me while I stare at my big hairy (proud!) feet as I try to figure out whether or not you just insulted me.
“why do we fall? … So we can learn to pick ourselves up again”
People don’t get THAT reference? That’s a pretty popular movie and a line that was pretty key in the movie AND repeated multiple times.
What’s the movie?
Batman Begins.
The first Christian Bale Batman movie
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Im glad to know that arm goes missing here too. Makes me feel right at home.
For those who actually don’t know: MarkDown (the markup language used by Lemmy and Reddit) uses the backslash as a “cancel” command. And it uses the underscores as an italicize command, just like the *asterisks* you’re probably in the habit of using.
For instance, _this_ turns into this. But when I cancel those underscores with a backslash \_like this\_ they appear.
So why does the backslash disappear on the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ face? For starters, the backslash cancels the underscores around the head. So the underscores show up, but the arm doesn’t. So what if we try two backslashes? Then we get:
¯\(ツ)/¯
The first backslash canceled out the second, but now the underscores are italicizing the head. So let’s try three:
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Now the first backslash is canceling out the second, and the third backslash is canceling out the underscore.
Haha you’re almost ready to start using regex.
uses the backslash as a “cancel” command
It’s called an escape character.
I know. The point is to avoid using jargon. Or at least explain the jargon you do use.
There are just so many quotable lines from Kung Pow
“That’s a lot of nuts!”
“You go that way, I’ll go home.”
“We trained him wrong as a joke”
“If you got an ass I’ll kick it!”
“My nipples look like Milk Duds!”
“I’m a man too, you know. I go peepee standing up!”
“I rock and roll, all day long, sweet Susie!”
“Leap that wall, if you’re so great!”
“I’m a nice man with happy feelings all the time!”
“I’ve got some yellow liquid for your popcorn, and it’s non-dairy!”
‘You go that way, I’ll go home!’ Is one I quote often and nobody ever gets. Perfect!
i hate that movie but i do quote “Would you say, 500 miles?..no not 500”
Every time I feel like Taco Bell, I quote Master Tang singing that jingle.
“Taco Bell, Taco Bell. Enchirito, big burrito…”
Yeah, he’s one of the best parts of the movie too
“shit”
Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
Personally I prefer “shit”
Knives Out (2019)
Close second for me
The scene where Hulk jumps into Ultron’s jet and, from off screen, you get James Spader’s exasperated “Oh, for god’s sake”.
Love that moment.
Whenever someone says anything remotely close to “you can imagine what happens next” or “you can guess where this is going” I say:
“He fixes the cable?”
Don’t be fatuous, Jeffrey.
Not from a movie, but there’s a line from The Office that really stuck with me:
“Not everything’s a lesson, Ryan. Sometimes, you just fail.”
That’s going to leave a mark
“boil 'em, mash 'em, stick them in a stew”
Pain don’t hurt.
Some people get it, but most don’t.
Pain don’t hurt.
I like it but I’m not sure that I get it haha
It’s not a movie but it makes me think of this quote from Murakami’s What I Talk About When I Talk About Running:
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. Say you’re running and you think, ‘Man, this hurts, I can’t take it anymore.’ The ‘hurt’ part is an unavoidable reality, but whether or not you can stand anymore is up to the runner himself.
I feel this may be the sentiment behind, “Pain don’t hurt.”
Swayze and Murakami, my two muses.
Indeed it is. The line comes from Patrick Swayze’s head bouncer character “Dalton” in Road House. He is supposed to be a sort of ascetic warrior philosopher. He eschews convenience, lives in a converted barn without air conditioning, etc. because for him physical suffering is of little importance.

For me it means that true pain is something other than physical.
