Movie lines you've never forgotten?
i'm not talking favorite movie lines of all time, but ones that you've always remembered and left indelible impression when you first heard/saw it.
even though favorite movie of all time and not the most popular line in movie, i've always loved Bruce Willis/John McClane in Die Hard in the elevator shaft, lighting the zippo and saying "Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs."
Also, Alan Rickman/Hans Gruber saying "sitting on a beach, earning 20%."
i still use that latter and it always enters my mind in certain situations. so weird.
yours?

My name is Lester Burnham. This is my neighborhood; this is my street; this is my life. I am 42 years old; in less than a year I will be dead. Of course I don't know that yet, and in a way, I am dead already. -- American Beauty
The Coen Bros. movies have endless, wonderful, and unforgettable lines in them.

Fletch
"It's so simple maybe you need a refresher course. It's all ball bearings nowadays. Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads."
--it's usually not the whole thing, but I use the refresher course/ball bearings part a lot, and sometimes I'll ask for some gauze pads and quarts of anti-freeze.
A Fish Called Wanda
"Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not "Every man for himself." And the London Underground is not a political movement."
In the Line of Fire
"I'll be thinking about that when I'm pissing on your grave."
