Chicks-n-Scratching

For whatever reason, these 13 lines have stuck with me. The movies are varied and in different genres, but I will just call myself complex and leave it alone.

1- Ouiser Boudreaux: I’m not crazy, I’ve just been in a very bad mood 40 years! (Steel Magnolias)

2- Khan: [quoting from Melville's Moby Dick] To the last, I will grapple with thee… from Hell’s heart, I stab at thee! For hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee! (Star Trak:Wrath of Kahn)

3- Inigo Montoya: Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. (Princess Bride)

4- Bill: 4 is good. 4 will relocate your house very efficently.

Melissa: Is there an F5? [Everyone goes dead silent] What would that be like?

Jason ‘Preacher’ Rowe: The Finger of God. (Twister)

5- Mordred: I like my women married, my willpower weak, my wine strong, and my saints fallen. (Camelot)

6- Colonel Robert G. Shaw: [writing to his mother, telling her that he seen his first negroes amongst those fleeing the south] We fight for men and women whose poetry is not yet written but which will presently be as enviable and as renowned as any. (Glory)

7- Lora: You’re aiming high.
Steve: Why not? It doesn’t cost anymore. Don’t you believe in chasing rainbows?   (Imitation of Life)

8- Professor Henry Jones: Elsa never really believed in the grail. She thought she’d found a prize.
Indiana Jones: And what did you find, Dad?
Professor Henry Jones: Me? Illumination. (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade)

9- Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should. (Jurassic Park)

10- Jimmy Dugan: Uh, Lord, hallowed be Thy name. May our feet be swift; may our bats be mighty; may our balls… be plentiful. Lord, I’d just like to thank You for that waitress in South Bend. You know who she is – she kept calling Your name. And God, these are good girls, and they work hard. Just help them see it all the way through. Okay, that’s it. (A League of Their Own)

10- George: Who presents this woman? This woman? But she’s not a woman. She’s just a kid. And she’s leaving us. I realized at that moment that I was never going to come home again and see Annie at the top of the stairs. Never going to see her again at our breakfast table in her nightgown and socks. I suddenly realized what was happening. Annie was all grown up and was leaving us, and something inside began to hurt. (Father of the Bride)

11- [Evelyn is cut off in a parking lot]
Evelyn Couch: Hey! I was waiting for that spot!
Girl #1: Face it, lady, we’re younger and faster! [Evelyn rear-ends the other car six times] What are you *doing*?
Girl #2: Are you *crazy*?
Evelyn Couch: Face it, girls, I’m older and I have more insurance.    (Fried Green Tomatoes)

12- Jareth: You remind me of the babe.
Goblin: What babe?
Jareth: The babe with the power.
Goblin: What power?
Jareth: The power of voodoo.
Goblin: Who do?
Jareth: You do.
Goblin: Do what?
Jareth: Remind me of the babe. (Labyrinth)

13- Edward Lewis: So what happens after he climbs up and rescues her?
Vivian: She rescues him right back. (Pretty Woman)
