Bizarre, random lines of dialogue in movies
I was watching Lionheart tonight & in the first high class fight Van Damme gets into, the guy getting ready to fight him says, "You're pretty, boy...I don't know if I wanna fight you, or fuck you!".
I always thought that was a pretty odd thing to say before trying to kick someone's ass.
Another one would be in Way of the Gun, when at the beginning, the redhead says to the two guys, "look, she's not kidding...I'm gonna beat you silly, then fuck you stupid."
What are some random, odd lines of dialogue that you've heard in movies?

De Palma's Scarface is obviously well known for quotes. But here's a peculiar one that you don't hear re-quoted often:
"You got tits...You need a bra...They got hair on them..."

Re: Bizarre, random lines of dialogue in movies
^ While not "normal" by any means, I wouldn't say that was bizarre or random. It's actually a great way of conveying the dehumanizing process a serial killer like that would do with their victims, by choosing to refer to them as "it" rather than he/she.
However, from the same movie:
"I can smell your ****" never fails to surprise.
And the classic Roadhouse:
"I used to fuck guys like you in prison."

Everyone wants it. That's why they call it money.
I remember when this movie came out, Ebert hailed this line as brilliant. I, to this day, can not not figure out what it means, yet alone considerate it brilliant.

Your misquote is lousy.
The actual line - "Everybody needs money. That's why they call it money." is excellent writing that is typical of Mamet.
Man that's a great film.

The infamous "I drink your milkshake!" is, in part, a real quote. Paul Thomas Anderson found the metaphor in congressional transcripts from the 1920's Teapot Dome scandal, in which New Mexico Republican Senator Albert Fall was convicted of accepting bribes for oil drilling rights to various lands. According to Anderson, "I think it was Albert Fall, who was asked to describe drainage before Congress. And his way of describing it was, 'If you have a milkshake and I have a milkshake, and my straw reaches across the room ...' I'm sure I embellished it and changed it around and made it more Plainview. But Fall used the word milkshake, and I thought it was so great. It was mad to see that word among all this official testimony and terminology - a fucking milkshake. I get so happy every time I hear that word."

Between Janet Leigh and Frank Sinatra in the Manchurian Candidate:
Leigh: Maryland's a beautiful state.
Sinatra: This is Delaware.
Leigh: I know. I was one of the original Chinese workmen who laid the tracks on this stretch. But nonetheless, Maryland's a beautiful state. So is Ohio, for that matter.
Sinatra: [a bit later] Are you Arabic?
Leigh: No. Are you Arabic?
Sinatra: No.
Leigh: Let me put it another way. Are you married?
