I suggested BB and tried to explain how she'd marvel that a HS Chemistry teacher (a step beyond Malcom’s dad, BTW) could transform from that stereotyped chrysalis into a full blown Monarch Butterfly criminal so wonderfully. So much so that the comparison of his visage scowl with the short brimmed hat and mustachioed goatee with his former High School Chem teacher or Malcolm in the Middle dad is a sight to see.
One of my favorite quote, passage really, from a flick is from “McLintock”. It’s where John Wayne is talking to Stephanie Powers, his daughter in the movie, about love and marriage. He talks about all the gold in the US treasury doesn’t equal the love between a man and a woman. It was perfectly written and perfectly delivered the way only John Wayne could. The entire passage is in the quotes section for McLintock on IMDB.com.
“All you of Earth are idiots!”
PLAN NINE FROM OUTER SPACE
“That’s not a knife ... THIS is a knife!”

“There is one great thing that you men will all be able to say after this war is over and you are home once again. You may be thankful that twenty years from now when you are sitting by the fireplace with your grandson on your knee and he asks you what you did in the great World War II, you WON’T have to cough, shift him to the other knee and say, “Well, your Granddaddy shoveled shit in Louisiana.”
“Well, bye”.
Curly Bill Brocious - “Tombstone”
It’s time to buzz the tower.
Gone With The Wind is full of them.

Here are some memorable quotes that are easy to place.
“Look! It’s moving. It’s alive. It’s alive!”
“Saigon... sh*t; I’m still only in Saigon.”

“It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.”
“I met this six-year-old child, with this blank, pale, emotionless face, and the blackest eyes... the devil’s eyes.”
“You talkin’ to me? You talkin’ to me? You talkin’ to me? Then who the hell else are you talking... you talking to me? Well I’m the only one here.”
“Wait a minute, Doc. Ah... Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?”
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.”
“Adrian!”
“I am Frau Blücher.”
I have not seen Breaking Bad, but I recently read that Anthony Hopkins sat down and wrote that guy a letter telling him it was the best acting he had ever seen.
My personal favorite,
“I’m the bad guy ?”

I was waiting for someone to post that quote from Blade Runner! “...Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion...” That was a great scene. Great movie.
“I reckon so...”

He is a very gifted actor that was there in the right place at the right time.
