Quotes from Movies/TV Shows in General

Lady Elanor · **Posted:** November 27th, 2012, 8:00 pm

I can find book quotes, family quotes, Pixar quotes, but no thread for movie or tv show quotes in general. I went through GD, and did a search and couldn't find anything, so do forgive me if there is one and I missed it!

Basically this thread is for favourite quotes from movies, or T V Shows; you can share them here.

Love this quote from Yes Prime Minister:

Quote:

Bernard Woolley: But, you only need to know things on a need-to-know basis.

Sir Humphrey Appleby: I need to know everything. How else can I judge whether or not I need to know it?

Bernard Woolley: So that means you need to know things even when you don't need to know them. You need to know them not because you need to know them but because you need to know whether or not you need to know. If you don't need to know, you still need to know so that you know that there is no need to know.

Sir Humphrey Appleby: Yes!

Bernard Woolley: Good. That's very clear!

I love this one as well; Humphrey is so funny!

Quote:

Employment Secretary: Prime Minister, why was my request for a further discussion and your reply not minuted?

Sir Humphrey Appleby: Ah, Prime Minister... It is characteristic of all committee discussions and decisions that every member has a vivid recollection of them and that every member's recollection of them differs violently from every other member's recollection. Consequently we accept the convention that the official decisions are those and only those which have officially recorded in the minutes by the officials, from which it emerges with an elegant inevitability that any decision which has been officially reached will have been officially recorded in the minutes by the officials and any decision which is not recorded in the minutes has not been officially reached even if one or more members believe they can recollect it, so in this particular case if the decision had been officially reached it would have been officially recorded in the minutes by the officials. And it isn't so it wasn't.

Haha! YUS! Wonderful thread.

*will probably be posting here a lot*

I'll just start with one of my favorite TV show quotes (of course, I may not remember it completely accurately...):

Jack McGee and David Banner, The Incredible Hulk wrote:

McGee: If you know anything about the creature it is your duty to report it to the police!
Banner: I don't know anything about this creature!
McGee: Forgive me, Doctor, but I'm calling you a liar.
Banner: Mr. McGee! *takes a quick breath* Mr. McGee, don't make me angry. *breaths in sharply* You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

Here are some from my h-u-g-e collection of TV show quotes.

Family Ties
Alex: "It's about 50-50... 60-40... I'll get back to you."

Andy: (coloring in his Young Republicans coloring book) "What color should I make his hair?"
Nick: "Maybe purple, or green. Those are good colors for hair."
Alex: "No! Hair is supposed to be brown, or blond, or gray, or bald. Not purple or green."
Nick: "Okay... then give him a mohawk."
Alex: (jerks coloring book away) "No, you're not giving Ronald Reagan a mohawk!"

Mallory: "I don't go to the mall that much, Alex."
Alex: "The mannequins wave to you."

Steven: "I'd recommend chapter eight, 'The Meaning of Life is Absurd, so Wipe That Smile off Your Face'."

Alex: "Don't give me that disapproving look."
Mallory: "Which one?"
Alex: "That one. The one you save for criminals and people with last year's haircut."

Alex: "See, the important thing is the family stays together, and they all get nice sweaters."

More to come.

Barbara Wright: She's waiting in one of the classrooms. I'm lending her a book on the French Revolution.
Ian Chesterton: What's she going to do, rewrite it? (Barbara glares) Oh, all right...

Battestar Galactica 1980 (I think...)And those of you who talked to me before when I first joined should probably recognize the first quote...

Starbuck: Well, this is a grand day! Only been in charge of this planet for three days and already I've doubled the population! I do hereby declare myself president-elect, if that's all right with you.
Cy: Die, human.
Starbuck: Don't be ridiculous.

MacGyver Season 2, Episode 18: Partners

Jack Dalton: You’re gonna pay for my cab?
Peter Thornton: Full current value. But, let’s remember, it’s a vehicle that is–
Jack Dalton: Unique. Custom interior. Do you know what a custom paint job costs? Well, I’ll tell you. 18 coats, hand-rubbed lacquer. The base plate metallic, the best. A new engine…”
Angus MacGyver: Jack… I repainted your cab.
(Pete laughs)
Dalton: He’s got honesty the way some people have diseases. Incurable.
Pete: Yeah, he does. That’s why he made us promise to pay for your cab.
Dalton: What about my fuzzy dice?
MacGyver: Everything; They’re gonna pay for everything, Jack. Including the bed.
Dalton: Good.
(Pause)
Dalton: Bed? (Short pause as Dalton looks back and forth) Bed? What bed?
Pete: Your bed. The one in your apartment. Murdoc rigged it.
MacGyver: See, when I sat on your bed, it blew up.
(Pause)
Dalton: My bed blew up? He blew up my bed? (Getting worked up) Well, who is this guy? Why is he after me?
Pete: You’re taking this pretty hard.
Dalton: Well, how do you want me to take it, lying down? (Realizes something) MacGyver, you gotta get me outta here, I’m in a bed! This could blow up any second.
Pete: Mr. Dalton, you are much better off here than on the outside. Besides, Murdoc doesn’t want you, he’s after MacGyver.
Dalton: He can have him. I hang around with you anymore, this guy Murdoc’ll total my apartment, I’ll be sleeping at the Midnight Mission.
MacGyver: Kinda bitter, aren’t you?
Dalton: Me? Oh, no. This is the best day of my life. Probably the last.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

Kirk: I have a hunch, that we’d all be a lot happier discussing this over dinner. What do you say?
Taylor: You guys like Italian?
Kirk & Spock (At the same time, Kirk first): Yes. No. No. Yes. Yes. No. Yes. No.
Kirk: I love Italian. [To Spock] And so do you.
Spock: Yes.

NCIS Season 1, Episode 1: Yankee White

Anthony DiNozzo: FBI, CIA, DEA, ATF, even NYPD have private jets.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Look, 36 cents a mile, you want to drive?
DiNozzo: It’s humiliating.
Gibbs: (To Dennis) Hey. We’re LEOs.
Dennis: I’m a Capricorn.
DiNozzo: LEO – short for Law Enforcement Officer. (Gives Dennis papers and shows him his credentials)
Gibbs: Are you new at this – (Peers at name tag) Dennis?
Dennis: First week. (Looks at paper) N-C-I-S. Never heard of it.
Gibbs: (To DiNozzo) That’s embarrassing.
Dennis: NCIS anything like CSI?
DiNozzo: Only if you’re dyslexic.

Don't worry! That's it! For now...

Doctor Who, right? The first episode of the very first season. I didn't know anyone else really ever watched that, besides my siblings and I.

Yep! I'm reading the transcripts - I'm in episode 4 or something...Of Season 1...

Transcripts? I had no idea such a thing existed.

Hmm... we're always quoting movies at our house - but of course I can't think of any quotes right now.

Me and my brother's favorite line to say while eating potatoes at dinner:

"Potatoes? Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew?"

And then my mom just kind of glares at us after about the fiftieth time we say it, and we have to hush up or face the consequences. XD
