"As the leader of all illegal activities in Casablanca, I am an influential and respected man." - Senor Ferrari in Casablanca.
Love this one!" There's a name for you ladies, but it isn't used in high society...outside of a kennel." -The Women (1939)
From "The Wind & The Lion" (1975)
Theodore Roosevelt: The American grizzly is a symbol of the American character: strength, intelligence, ferocity. Maybe a little blind and reckless at times... but courageous beyond all doubt. And one other trait that goes with all previous.
2nd Reporter: And that, Mr. President?
Theodore Roosevelt: Loneliness. The American grizzly lives out his life alone. Indomitable, unconquered - but always alone. He has no real allies, only enemies, but none of them as great as he.
2nd Reporter: And you feel this might be an American trait?
Theodore Roosevelt: Certainly. The world will never love us. They respect us - they might even grow to fear us. But they will never love us, for we have too much audacity! And, we're a bit blind and reckless at times too.
2nd Reporter: Are you perhaps referring to the situation in Morocco and the Panama Canal.
Theodore Roosevelt: If you say so... The American grizzly embodies the spirit of America. He should be our symbol! Not that ridiculous eagle - he's nothing more than a dandified vulture.
Cheers!

Most of the ones I can think of right now are from Withnail and I.
Uncle Monty: 'I'm preparing myself to forgive you...' (I use that quite a bit), Monty, again: 'Oh, he's so mauve...we don't know what he'll do next!'
Uncle Monty: 'Hare, here, hare?, etc
and of course the killer: 'MONTY, YOU TERRIBLE C**T!'
I can't say I quote that one though! It's one of those endlessly quotable films. Apologies for the profanities, but it's that kind of film!
