I'll start it off in no certain order:
"Here's looking at you kid." Casablanca
"Make my day". Dirty Harry
"You had me at hello." Jerry Mcquire
"You make me complete." Jerry Mcguire
"We were on a break!" Friends
"Norm!" Cheers
"To the moon, Alice." The Honeymooners
“Miss Scarlett, Miss Scarlett, I don’t know nothing ‘about birthin’ no babies!”
That Sgt. Schultz line was pure genius, it really played on all the excuses that were made by the Nazis after the war.
I loved that show!
Another one from Get Smart was “missed it by *that* much...”
Not a well-know saying in the American household. Try again like "Honkytonk Woman" that exists on jukeboxes world-wide and most DJ's have it available in their play lists. There are many others if you want memorable music quotes and/or titles. Think, "I Love Rock n Roll" Joan Jett. Even my grand-children know that rocker.
Good; everyone assumes it originated in Blazing Saddles.
“Nobody puts baby in the corner.”- Dirty Dancing
**Baby
I’m here to kick ass and chew bubblegum and I’m all out of bubblegum - Roddy Piper - They Live
Also “You complete me” Jerry Mcguire
“Lucy! You got a lot of splainin’ to do.”
LOL, I was just going to say that!
Another bit from that that I always liked and do say (although I may be the only one): When little Ricky was going to be born Lucy got concerned about his speech because of big Ricky’s accent and her own insecurities. So she hires a speech tutor and he starts off by telling her “there are two words you must never use, one of them is swell and the other is lousy” And Lucy replies “ok, what are the 2 words?”
Good stuff, but I believe, “and don’t call me shirley” was from Airplane. The first and one of the funniest satires ever. I was in a theater in Germany for training and took a break to see the film. The entire audience was ROTFLTAO. It wast the start of crazy funny satires.
“Nobody puts baby in the corner.”- Dirty Dancing”
I just thought of that line earlier tonight, why? I have no clue, I think I’ve only seen that famous movie once.
“It’s the end of the world as we know it”.
“Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?” - Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
““Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape.” ~Planet of the Apes”.
<p.Good one and used in various Apes movies.
Also from Mr. Belushi: “cheeburger, cheeburger, cheeburger. No coke - pepsi!”
There’s actually a burger joint out here in Jersey called Cheeburger Cheeburger. There might be a few, they are OK, not as good as 5 guys, but OK.
“Snakes, why’d it have to be snakes?” - Indiana Jones
““I believe you have my stapler.”—Milton from Office Space
“It’s trench warfare out there and if you need a friend get a dog.”—Gordon Gekko in Wall Street
“I will make him an offer he can’t refuse.” -the Godfather
The first two are not real staples of the American experience. The last Godfather reference is. Who doesn’t know that phrase?
