"Don't ask a dying man to lie his soul into hell."

"Evil may triumph, Sid, but it'll never conquer"
and from the same movie "If all this were about money, I'd be working for the wrong side most of the time."

I would include Thomas Hayden Church's speech from "The Specials" but it definately is not a oneliner.

Sincerely,
The Wolf

In Charade, when Audrey Hepburn is touching Cary Grant's chin and says, "How do you shave in there?" haha.

Slim Pickens in Dr. Stranglove

"That sounds like it would make a good weekend in Las Vegas"

The original line in the movie he said Dallas instead of Vegas, more appropriate for a cowboy. It was edited to Vegas since Kennedy had just been shot there just before the movie was released. If you listen/watch closely, you can catch the edit.

A few from one of the most quotable movies ever made:

"When the king is off his a**, nobody sleeps!"

"Of course he has a knife, he always has a knife, we all have knives! It's 1183 and we're barbarians!"

"There'll be pork in the treetops come morning."


"What family doesn't have its ups and downs?"

Haversack.

Bill Munny:Who's the fellow who owns this s-----e?
[pause]
Bill Munny: You, fat man. Speak up.
Skinny Dubois: Uh, I...I own this establishment. I bought the place from Greeley for a thousand dollars.
Bill Munny: [referring to somebody standing behind Skinny] You better clear outta there.
Little Bill Daggett: You just hold it right there! Hold it!
[Munny shoots Skinny]
Little Bill Daggett: Well, sir, are a cowardly son of a b---h! You just shot an unarmed man!
Bill Munny: He should have armed himself if he was goin' to decorate his saloon with my friend.
Little Bill Daggett: You'd be Will Munny out of Missouri; killer of women and children.
Bill Munny: That's right. I've killed women and children. I've killed just about everything that walks or crawls at one time or another, and I'm here to kill you Little Bill for what you did to Ned.
[pause, to bystanders]
Bill Munny: You boys better move away.
Little Bill Daggett: [walking toward Will] All right gentlemen, he's got one barrel left. When he fires it, take out your pistols and shoot him down like the mangy scoundrel he is!
So, I was pretty close for doing that off the top of my head from a film I saw almost 15 years ago.

BTW, everyone, please edit out the profanity, so I won't have to.

Charley Waite: You could do something about it.
Mack: What? We're freighters. Ralph here's a shopkeeper.
Charley Waite: You're men, ain't you?
Mack: I didn't raise my boys just to see 'em killed.
Charley Waite: Well you may not know this, but there's things that gnaw at a man worse than dying.
