Hey..what was the title of the film where he was a fake defector to the Axis, on a ship with Greenstreet and Lorrie...and in the fog, on the deck at night, there is a loud noise...Greenstreet pulls his .32/.380 auto out of his waistband, Bogie pulls his 1911 .45 out of his waistband, and calmly says, with a smirk..."mine's bigger than yours."
Another GREAT line in the film, which I have used occasionally with certain foreign dignitaries myself, BTW, a young, sneering Nazi lad brags how they are going to over-run America and dominate our effeminate masses...and Bogie says "I don't mean to tell you your business, general...but there's a couple of neighborhoods in Brooklyn I suggest you don't try to invade."
Mars Attacks has some great quotes, though I guess that movie is a "Love it or Hate it" type.
"Do you have to drink in front on me?" (Annette Benning playing a recovering alcoholic)
"You're an adult. Just cope" (Jack Nicholson, who could care less)
"Leave the gun.....take the cannolis."
How about this great line from Roadhouse's Patrick Swayze:
"Pain don't hurt!"
