Best quotes - Merged thread - Keep it Clean! No dashes! No Symbols!

[Marc Chevalier]

lol This one's for Carebear. From Stanley Kubrick's film, Full Metal Jacket:




Gunnery Sergeant Gerheim: "Does anyone known who Charles Whitman was?"

---------------------------(Blank faces.)

Gerheim: "None of you knows?"

---------(Private 'Cowboy' slowly raises his hand.)

Gerheim: "Private Cowboy?"

Cowboy: "Was he the guy that shot a lot of people from a roof?"


Gerheim: "That's right, Private Cowboy. He shot and killed twelve people from a 28-story observation tower at the
-------- University of Texas, from distances of up to four hundred yards. Does anybody know who Lee Harvey Oswald
-------- was?"

--------- (Almost every hand goes up.)

Private 'Snowball': "He shot Kennedy, Sir!"

Gerheim: "That's right. And do you know how far away he was?"

Snowball: "It was pretty far. From that book suppository building, Sir!"

Gerheim: "Two hundred and fifty feet! He was two hundred and fifty feet away and shooting at a moving target. He got
-------- off three shots with a bolt action rifle in six seconds, and got two hits, including a head shot. Do you know where
-------- those men learned to shoot like that?"

---------(Private 'Joker' raises his hand.)

Joker: "In the Marines, Sir?"

Gerheim (with great pride): "In the Marines! Outstanding! Now those people did not put their Marine training to a good
-------------------------- purpose but they showed what a Marine with his rifle can do, and before I am through you will
-------------------------- all be able to do the same thing."

Please keep it clean!

Guys, everyday, I have to come into this thread and clean it up. Please keep the curse words out of it. Dashes and spaces substituting for vowels are unacceptable.

Thanks, I sincerely appreciate it.

The Lady Eve:
Henry Fonda: You're certainly a funny girl for anybody to meet who's just been up the Amazon for a year.

Barbara Stanwyck: Good thing you weren't up there two years.

The Awful Truth:
Irene Dunne: You're all confused, aren't you?
Cary Grant: Aren't you?
Dunne: No
Grant: Well you should be because you're wrong about things being different because they're not the same. Things are different except in a different way. You're still the same, only I've been a fool... but I'm not now.
Dunne: Oh.
Grant: So long as I'm different don't you think that... well, maybe things could be the same again... only a little differnt?

Maltese Falcon:
Bogie: The cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter, eh?

After the Thin Man:
Myrna Loy (on the train): Are you packing?
William Powell (with flask): Yes dear. I'm just putting away this liquor.

Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn from Charade:


Reggie Lampert: I already know an awful lot of people and until one of them dies I couldn't possibly meet anyone else.
Peter Joshua: Well, if anyone goes on the critical list, let me know

So many great lines from that movie, too many to list here, ok one more,

Reggie Lampert: You're blocking my view.
Peter Joshua: Ohh... which view would you prefer?
Reggie Lampert: The one you're blocking.

"Positively the same dame!" ("The Lady Eve, 1941, Barbara Stanwyck, Henry Fonda) uttered by Ambrose Murgatroyd - William Demarest.

For me, this is a far superior last line than "Some Like It Hot's," "Nobody's perfect."

'There's a name for you ladies...but it isnt used in proper society, outside of a kennel.'

" I used this cream...it brought on a rash."

"Our new one piece lace foundation garment...zips up the back and no bone!'
