10 Things I Hate About You

Chasity: I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?
Bianca: I think you can in Europe.
Bianca: There's a difference between like and love. I mean I like my Skechers, but I love my Prada backpack.
Chastity: But I love my Skechers.
Bianca: That's because you don't have a Prada backpack.
Chastity: Ohhhh!
Walter Stratford: Hello, Katarina. Make anybody cry today?
Kat Stratford: Sadly, no. But it's only 4:30.
Walter: I'm down, I've got the 411, and you are not going out and getting jiggy with some boy, I don't care how dope his ride is. My mama didn't raise no foo'!
Mr. Stratford: Where do you think you're going?
Bianca Stratford: Well, if you must know... a small study group with friends.
Mr. Stratford: Better known as an orgy?
Chastity: It's only a party, Mr. Stratford.
Mr. Stratford: And hell is only a sauna.
Walter Stratford: I delivered a set of twins to a fifteen-year-old girl today, and you know what she said to me?
Bianca Stratford: "I'm a crack-whore who should have made my skeezy boyfriend wear a condom"?
Walter Stratford: Close.... she said "I should have listened to my father."
Bianca Stratford: She did not.
Walter Stratford: Well, that's what should would have said if she wasn't so doped up.
Patrick Verona: See, who needs affection when I have blind hatred?
Ms. Perky: So, I hear you've been terrorizing Mr. Morgan's class... again.
Katarina Stratford: Expressing my opinion is not a terrorist action.
Ms. Perky: The way you expressed your opinion to Bobby Ridgeway? By the way, his testicle retrieval operation went quite well, in case you're interested.
Katarina Stratford: I still maintain that he kicked himself in the balls
Joey: [holding up headshots] Which one do you like better?

Penny Lane: You're too sweet for rock and roll.
William Miller: Sweet? Where do you get off? Where do you get sweet? I am dark and mysterious, and I am PISSED OFF! I could be very dangerous to all of you! And you should know that about me... I am THE ENEMY!

Andrew: Totally.
Dead Poets Society

Thoreau once said most men lead lives of quiet desperation... Don't be resigned to that. LIVE LIFE!
YALP!!!
Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Ferris: They bought it. Incredible. One of the worst performances of my career and they never doubted it for a second. How can I possibly be expected to handle school on a day like this? This is my ninth sick-day this semester. It’s getting pretty tough coming up with new illnesses. If I go for ten I’ll probably gonna have to barf up a lung. So I better make this one count. The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. Its a good non-specific symptom. I’m a big believer in it. A lot of people will tell you that a good phony fever is a dead lock but you get a nervous mother, you could wind up at a doctor’s office, that’s worse than school. You fake a stomach cramp and when you’re bent over moaning and wailing... you lick your palms. It’s a little childish and stupid but then, so is high school. Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. I do have a test today, that wasn’t bullshit. It's on European socialism. I mean, really. What's the point? I'm not European. I don't plan to be European. So, who gives a shit if they're socialists? They could be fascist anarchists and it still wouldn't change the fact that I don't own a car.
Ferris: You're not dying. You just can't think of anything better to do.
The Goonies

Mikey: Goonies never say die!
Francis Fratelli: Tell us everything! Everything!
Lawrence "Chunk" Cohen: Everything. OK! I'll talk! In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max's toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog...When my mom sent me to the summer camp for fat kids and then they served lunch I got nuts and I pigged out and they kicked me out...But the worst thing I ever done -- I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa -- and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life.
Jake Fratelli: I'm beginning to like this kid, Ma!
Troy's dad: Is your mommy here?
Brandon "Brand" Walsh: No, sir. Actually, she's out at the market buying Pampers for all us kids.
Life as a House

Sam: How do you become something that you're not?
George: What do you want to be?
Sam: What I'm not.
George: What are you now?
Sam: I'm nothing.
George: Change can be so slow that you don't know that your life is better or worse until it is...It happened to me.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Peasant: She's a witch!
Bedevere: A witch? How do you know she's a witch?
Peasant: She turned me into a newt!
Bedevere: A newt?
Peasant: ... I got better.
Crowd: BURN HER ANYWAY
Galahad: Look, let me face the peril!
Lancelot: No, no, it's much too perilous!
King of Swamp Castle: When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. And that one sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, and then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Son, the strongest castle in all of England.
Moulin Rouge

Christian: The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.
Toulouse-Lautrec: Do you believe in truth?
Christian: Yes.
Piano Dude: Do you believe in freedom?
Christian: Yes of course.
Narcoleptic Argentinian: Do you believe in love?
Christian: Love? Love... above all things I believe in love. Love is like oxygen, Love is like oxygen. Love is a many-splendored thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love!
Zidler: [singing] Spectacular spectacular! / No words in the vernacular / Can describe this rare event. / You'll be struck dumb with wonderment! / (Returns are fixed at ten percent / Which you'll agree is excellent.)
Office Space

Samir: No one is this country can ever pronounce my name right. It's not that hard: Nayee-Nanajar. Nayeenanajar.
Michael: Yeah, well, at least you're name isn't Michael Bolton.
Samir: You know, there's nothing wrong with that name.
Michael: There WAS nothing wrong with it. Until I was about 12 years old, and that no-talent-ass-clown because famous and started winning Grammys.
Samir: Why don't you just go by Mike, instead of Michael?
Michael: No way! Why should I change it? He's the one who sucks.

Peter Gibbons: It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.
Peter Gibbons: I did nothing, absolutely nothing, and it was everything I thought it would be.
Michael Bolton: We're not going to some white collar resort prison. No, no, no! We're going to federal POUND ME IN THE ASS prison!
Peter: Hey Lawrence, you wanna come over?
Lawrence: No thanks, dude. I don't need you fuckin' up my life, too.
Say Anything

Lloyd Dobler: I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.
Corey: Joe lies
Lloyd: So you're monumentally busy?
Shawshank Redemption

Red: The way I see it, you got two choices. You either gotta get busy livin'... or get busy dyin'.
Red: I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.
Sliding Doors

Lydia: We're women. We don't say what we want, but we reserve the right to be pissed off if we don't get it. That's what makes us so fascinating! And not a little bit scary.
James: Everyone is born knowing every single Beatles lyric. It's ingested into the fetus along with all that amniotic stuff. Fact: they should be called "The Fetals."
Gerry: Look at all of them... having some sort of sponsored epileptic fit!
The Three Amigos

Lucky Day: I suppose you could say that everyone has an El Guapo. For some, shyness may be an El Guapo. For others, lack of education may be an El Guapo. But for us, El Guapo is a large ugly man who wants to kill us!
Lucky Day: Hold it El Guapo! Or I'll fill you so full of lead you'll be using your dick for a pencil!
El Guapo: WHAT do you MEAN?
Lucky Day: I don't know.
Ned Nederlander: This is not a town of weaklings! You can use your strengths against El Guapo. Now, what is it that this town really does well?
Townspeople: Hmmm. Hmmm? Ummm. [long pause]
Mama Sanchez: We can sew!
Dusty Bottoms: There you go, you can sew.
Ned Nederlander: Ah.
Dusty Bottoms: If only we had known this sooner............
Ned Nederlander: Sew, old woman, sew! Like the wind!
Trainspotting

Renton: Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers..... Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stuffing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life..... But why would I want to do a thing like that?
Renton: Relinquishing junk. Stage one, preparation. For this you will need one room which you will not leave. Soothing music. Tomato soup, ten tins of. Mushroom soup, eight tins of, for consumption cold. Ice cream, vanilla, one large tub of. Magnesia, milk of, one bottle. Paracetomal, mouthwash, vitamins. Mineral water, Lucozade, pornography. One mattress. One bucket for urine, one for feces and one for vomitus. One television and one bottle of Valium. Which I've already procured from my mother. Who is, in her own domestic and socially acceptable way also a drug addict. And now I'm ready. All I need is one final hit to soothe the pain while the Valium takes effect.
The Wedding Singer

Robbie: All right, remember -- alcohol equals puke equals smelly mess equals nobody likes you!
Robbie: When I put my mind to something, I go all the way. I'll go all the way for you, sir.
Mr. Simms: Do you have any experience?
Robbie: No, sir, I have no experience, but I'm a big fan of money. I like it. I use it. I have a little. I keep it in a jar on top of my refrigerator. I'd like to put more in that jar. That's where you come in.
When Harry Met Sally

Harry: No man can be friends with a woman he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her.
Sally: So you are saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive?
Harry: No, you pretty much want to nail them too.
Harry: (on Sally's answering machine) The fact that you're not answering leads me to believe that (a) You're not home, (b) You're home but you don't want to talk to me, or (c) You're home, desperately want to talk to me, but you're trapped under something heavy. If it's either (a) or (c), please give me a call.
Wonder Boys

James Leer: That's a big trunk. It fits a tuba, a suitcase, a dead dog, and a garment bag almost perfectly.
Grady Tripp: That's just what they used to say in the ads.
Grady Tripp: She's a transvestite.
Terry Crabtree: You're stoned.
Grady Tripp: She's still a transvestite.
Grady Tripp: Well, he did say a few things that made me believe it WAS his car.
Terry Crabtree: Like what?
Grady Tripp: "That's my car, motherfucker."
