From Lawrence of Arabia:

Lawrence lights a match, then runs his fingers slowly up from the bottom until he extinguishes the flame with his fingers, and then just smiles.

A fellow lieutenant tries the same trick, lights the match and then howls with pain.

Potter: OWWWW...it damn well hurts.

Lawrence: Certainly it hurts.

Potter: Well, what's the trick then?

Lawrence: The trick, William Potter, is not MINDING that it hurts.

I used to be Max Bialystock, KING of BROADWAY, six shows running at once. Look at me now... LOOK AT ME NOW... I'm wearing a cardboard belt.

- Bialystock: This is it. This is the mother lode. Real gold, not fools gold. Touch it. Kiss it.
- Leo Bloom: "Springtime for Hitler: A Gay Romp with Adolph and Eva at Bergtesgarden". WOW !!! This show won't run a week!
- Bialystock: A week? Are you kidding? This show has got to close... on page 4.

"Why don't you kiss her instead of talking her to death?"

"You want me to kiss her, eh?"

"Oh, youth is wasted on the wrong people."

"Hey, come back mister! I'll show you kissing that'll put hair back on your head!"

Good, but it's not a movie. How about this one:

"Missed it by that much."

They did make a movie of that show, so it qualifies.

I think the quote goes something like...

"The gaudier the patter...(the cheaper the hood)."

My favorite line goes something like...

"You can have these (handing Sydney Greenstreet two pistols), a blind newsie took 'em off him."

Just a question, why the name "Watery Tart" instead of "Moistened Bink"?

Actually, I believe it's "moistened bint", bint being a lot less nice than tart.

You've got to download that portion of the script to your 'ard drive!

SlowBoat is correct. I found a pic approximatin' a watery tart for my profile page. I believe that my computer is set to filter out the pictures of the latter.

Mark Steyn was in Road Warrior?, reciting Shakespeare?

No, but it's so hard to find a good place to work that line into conversation.


"Is it twrue what they say....

"It's twue!"



More favorites:

"'UUUPER DUPER!"

"I suggest you put on a tie!"

"He vas my....BOYFRIEND!"

"Nice hopping."

"Put ze candle BECK!"

"You take the blonde, and I'll take the one in the toiban!"

"Stay close to the candles. The stairway can be.... treacherous."

"SEDA-GIVE??"

"Ovaltine?"

"Could be worse....could be raining."

"There wolf. There castle"

I could go on....but then I'd have to go watch it again.
;o)
