That one is my favorite quote.

I think you got it wrong.

It's:

"Why am I Mr Pink?"
"Because you're a f@ggot, ok?"

The Pu$$y part comes after Mr.Brown says his name sounds like Mr. $hit.

I think.

Repo Man (1984)
Miller: Say you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. Suddenly someone says plate, or shrimp, or plate of shrimp. Out of the blue. No use looking for one either. It's part of the lattice of coincidence that lays on top of everything.

"Well, I believe in the soul, the ****, the *****, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days."
Crash Davis, Bull Durham

"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."
Keyser Soze, The Usual Suspects"

"Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken."
Tyler Durden, Fight Club

"You're not getting this back. I consider it ******* tax."
Marla Singer, Fight Club

"I am Jack's complete lack of surprise."
Narrator, Fight Club

"Back off man. I'm a scientist."

"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine."
Rick Blaine, Casablanca

"I'll be back."
The Terminator

"I'll make him an offer he can't refuse."
Michael Corleone, The Godfather

So many great lines, and impossible to just pick 5 or 10, I could keep going for ever...

In addition to some of the already mentioned quotes, a few (not in any particular order) that stick in my mind are:

"I'm not even supposed to be here. I'm just "Crewman Number Six." I'm expendable! I'm the guy in the episode who dies to prove how serious the situation is! I've gotta get outta here!"
Guy - Galaxy Quest

"Pollution. Crime. Drugs, poverty, disease, hunger, despair--we throw GOBS of money at them and problems only get worse. Why is that? Because money's most powerful ability is to allow bad people to continue doing bad things at the expense of those who don't have it."
Cosmo - Sneakers

"...when I'm around you, I find myself showing off, which is the idiot's version of being interesting."
Harris - L.A. Story

"Satan says you need more color!"
(don't remember the character's name) - Cecil B. Demented (you probably had to see it to get it)

"Have fun storming the castle!"
Miracle Max - The Princess Bride

"Ha-ha, you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is 'Never get involved in a land war in Asia', but only slightly less famous is this: 'Never go in against a Sicilian, when death is on the line!'"
Vizzini - The Princess Bride

"Gentlemen, congratulations. You're everything we've come to expect from years of government training."
Zed - Men In Black

Wonder Boys-
Now, that is a big trunk. It holds a tuba, a suitcase, a dead dog, and a garment bag almost perfectly.

Arsenic and Old Lace-
He wouldn't have died of pneumonia if I hadn't shot him.

No, no, Johnny, you cannot count him. You got twelve, they got twelve. The old ladies is just as good as you are.

Blood Simple- last lines...
Spoiler:
I'm not afraid of you, Marty!

(laugher) Well ma'am, if I see him, I'll be sure to give him the message.


Kiss Me Deadly-
Now listen, Mike. Listen carefully. I'm going to pronounce a few words. They're harmless words. Just a bunch of letters scrambled together. But their meaning is very important. Try to understand what they mean...
Spoiler:
'Manhattan Project, Los Alamos, Trinity.'


Being John Malkovich-
John Malkovich: Charlie, I don't know anything about the girl, man! She could be like a f***ing witch or something!

Charlie Sheen: That's even better!! Hot lesbian witches! Think about it! It's f***ing genius!

There are just too many to list.....But......Here's some:

- Home. I have no home. Hunted, despised, living like an animal. The jungle is my home. For 20 years I have lived in this jungle hell. I was classed as a madman, a charlatan. Outlawed in the world of science, which had previously hailed me as a genius. Now here in this jungle hell, I have proved that I was right. ~ Bela Lugosi in Bride of the Monster (1956)


- Ninotchka: Why do you want to carry my bags?
Porter: That is my business.
Ninotchka: That's no business. That's social injustice.
Porter: That depends on the tip.
~ Ninotchka (1939)


- Bujlianoff: There's an old Turkish proverb that says: "If something smells bad, why put your nose in it?"
Ninotchka: And there is an old Russian saying: "The cat with cream on his whiskers had better find good excuses."
~ Ninotchka (1939)


- Leon: A Russian! I love Russians! Comrade, I've been fascinated by your five-year plan for the last fifteen years. ~ Ninotchka (1939)


- Ninotchka: The last mass trials were a great success. There are going to be fewer but better Russians. ~ Ninotchka (1939)


- Hjalmar Poelzig: The phone is dead. Do you hear that Vitus? Even the phone is dead. ~ Black Cat, The (1934)


- Elwood P. Dowd: Here, let me give you one of my cards. Now if you should want to call me, use this number. This other one is the old number. ~ Harvey (1950)


- Elwood P. Dowd: Well, I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it. ~ Harvey (1950)


- Jefferson Smith: Just get up off the ground, that's all I ask. Get up there with that lady that's up on top of this Capitol dome, that lady that stands for liberty. Take a look at this country through her eyes if you really want to see something. And you won't just see scenery; you'll see the whole parade of what Man's carved out for himself, after centuries of fighting. Fighting for something better than just jungle law, fighting so as he can stand on his own two feet, free and decent, like he was created, no matter what his race, color, or creed. That's what you'd see. There's no place out there for graft, or greed, or lies, or compromise with human liberties. And, uh, if that's what the grownups have done with this world that was given to them, then we'd better get those boys' camps started fast and see what the kids can do. And it's not too late, because this country is bigger than the Taylors, or you, or me, or anything else. Great principles don't get lost once they come to light. They're right here; you just have to see them again! ~ Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)


- Grandpa Martin Vanderhof: Lincoln said, "With malice toward none, with charity to all." Nowadays they say, "Think the way I do or I'll bomb the daylights outta you." ~ You Can't Take It with You (1938)


- [I]Nick Charles: You see, when it comes to words like that, an illiterate person--
Polly Byrnes: Whaddaya mean "illiterate"? My father and mother were married right here in the city hall! ~ After the Thin Man (1936)


- Nora Charles: Waiter, will you serve the nuts? I mean, will you serve the guests the nuts? ~ Thin Man, The (1934)


- J.B. Books: I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them. ~ Shootist, The (1976)


- Reverend Harper: Have you ever tried to persuade him that he wasn't Teddy Roosevelt?
Abby Brewster: Oh, no.
Martha Brewster: Oh, he's so happy being Teddy Roosevelt.
Abby Brewster: Oh... Do you remember, Martha, once, a long time ago, we thought if he'd be George Washington, it would be a change for him, and we suggested it.
Martha Brewster: And do you know what happened? He just stayed under his bed for days and wouldn't be anybody.
~ Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)


- Mortimer Brewster: Aunt Abby, how can I believe you? There are twelve bodies in the cellar and you admit you poisoned them!
Aunt Abby Brewster: Yes, I did. But you don't think I'd stoop to telling a fib!
~ Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)


- Sir Wilfrid: Be prepared for hysterics and even a fainting spell. Better have smelling salts handy and a nip of brandy.
Christine Vole: I do not think that will be necessary. I never faint because I am not sure that I will fall gracefully and I never use smelling salts because they puff up the eyes. I am Christine Vole.
~ Witness for the Prosecution (1957)


- Leonard Vole: But this is England, where I thought you never arrest, let alone convict, people for crimes they have not committed.
Sir Wilfrid: We try not to make a habit of it.
~ Witness for the Prosecution (1957)


- Max Von Mayerling: She was the greatest of them all. You wouldn't know, you're too young. In one week she received 17,000 fan letters. Men bribed her hairdresser to get a lock of her hair. There was a maharajah who came all the way from India to beg one of her silk stockings. Later he strangled himself with it! ~ Sunset Blvd. (1950)


- Joe Gillis: [narrating] Well, this is where you came in, back at that pool again, the one I always wanted. It's dawn now and they must have photographed me a thousand times. Then they got a couple of pruning hooks from the garden and fished me out... ever so gently. Funny, how gentle people get with you once you're dead. ~ Sunset Blvd. (1950)


- Joe Gillis: There's nothing tragic about being fifty. Not unless you're trying to be twenty-five. ~ Sunset Blvd. (1950)

"Man is a feeling creature, and because of it the greatest in the universe. He learned too late for himself that men have to find their own way, to make their own mistakes. There can't be any gift of perfection from outside ourselves. When men seek such perfection they find only death, fire, loss, disillusionment and the end of everything that's gone forward. Men have always sought an end to our misery but it can't be given, it has to be achieved. There is hope, but it has to come from inside, from Man himself."

- Peter Graves' last line from "It Conquered the World"-

And while I'm at it...

"He tampered in God's domain." - Ed Wood's immortal "Bride of the Monster"
