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!

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.
