Jack O'Neill: I remembered something. There's a man. He is bald and wears a short sleeve shirt. And somehow, he is important to me... I think his name is... Homer.
This one's only two words but they were pretty powerful the first time I saw the movie (and given what the repercussions very well could have been): "Warp Speed" - James T. Kirk, ST III
Are you guys trekies or something? there are other franchises besides trek and the bug one. oh... the pain...
Firefly blowout (because there were SO MANY good lines): Mal: "We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so...very...pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die." -------------------------- Wash: "Everything looks good from here... (beat...playing with plastic dinosaurs over his console) Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive." (as Stegosaurus) "We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land'." (as T-Rex) "I think we should call it...your grave!" (Stegosaurus) "Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!" (T-Rex) "Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh...now die!" ------------------------------- Jayne: "Ten percent of nuthin' is...let me do the math here...nuthin' into nuthin'...carry the nuthin'..." --------------------------- Mal: "If anyone gets nosy, just...you know... shoot 'em. " Zoe: "Shoot 'em?" Mal: "Politely." ------------------------------- Jayne: "Testing, testing. Captain, can you hear me?" Mal: "I'm standing right here." Jayne: "You're coming through good and loud." Mal: " 'Cause I'm standing right here." -------------------------------- Mal: "Well, what about you, Shepherd? How come you're flying about with us brigands? I mean, shouldn't you be off bringing religiosity to the Fuzzie-Wuzzies or some such?" Book: "Oh, I got heathens aplenty right here." ---------------------------------- Mal: "Well they tell you: never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious." ---------------------------------- Alliance Commander: "You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war?" Zoe: "Fought with a lot of people in the war." Alliance Commander: "And your husband?" Zoe: "Fight with him sometimes, too." -------------------------------- Kaylee: "Well, we're headed for help... right?" Zoe: "Captain will come up with a plan." Kaylee: "That's good. Right?" Zoe: "Possibly you're not recalling some of his previous plans." ------------------------------ Mal: "Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. Whaddya suppose that makes us?" Zoe: "Big damn heroes, sir." Mal: "Ain't we just!" -------------------------------- Mal: "Now think real hard. You been bird-dogging this township a while now. They wouldn't mind a corpse of you. Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty floral bonnet: I will end you." ---------------------------------- Mal: "Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle." ----------------------------------- Mal: "Looks can be deceiving." Jayne: "Not as deceiving as a lowdown, dirty... deceiver." Mal: "Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe?" Zoe: "Had a kind of poetry to it, sir." ------------------------------------ Wash: ". So... I'm Zoe. Now, what do I do?" Mal: "Probably not talk quite so much." Wash: "Right. Less talking. She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic." ------------------------------------- Monty: "Damn you, Bridget! Damn you ta Hades! You broke my heart in a million pieces! You made me love you, and then y-- I SHAVED MY BEARD FOR YOU, DEVIL WOMAN!" ------------------------------------- Jayne: "She starts on that 'girl's name' thing, I'm gonna show her good an' all I got man parts." ------------------------------------ Jayne: "Good. 'Cause I don't know these folks, don't much care to." Mal: "They're whores." Jayne: "I'm in." --------------------------------- Wash: ". . . this landing is gonna get pretty interesting." Mal: "Define interesting." Wash: "Oh god oh god we're all gonna die?" Mal: "This is the captain. We have a...little problem with our engine sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then...explode." ---------------------------------- Jayne: "Yeah well, what you plan and what takes place ain't ever exactly been similar." --------------------------------- Mal: "So here's us, on the raggedy edge - don't push me, and I won't push you." -------------------------------- Jayne: "MAL!" Mal: (exasperated)"Every heist he starts yellin' my name." -------------------------------- Jayne: "I'll kill a man in a fair fight. Or if I think he's gonna start a fair fight. Or if he bothers me. Or if there's a woman. Or if I'm gettin' paid. Mostly when I'm gettin' paid." ---------------------------------- Kaylee: "But he coulda made 'em family. 'stead of keepin' Simon from seein' I was there. And I carried such a torch! And we coulda...goin' on a year now and I ain't had nothin' twixt my nethers weren't run on batteries!" Mal: (horrified) "Oh God! I can't know that!" Jayne: "I could stand to hear more." ------------------------------------ Mal: "Way I remember it, albatross was a ship's good luck, 'til some idiot killed it." (to Inara) "Yes, I've read a poem, try not to faint." ------------------------------------ Operative: "Captain Reynolds, I should tell you, so that you don't waste your time: you can't make me angry." Inara: "Please. Spend an hour with him." ---------------------------------- Mal: "You wanna run this ship?!" Jayne: "Yes!" Mal: "Well y-...you can't!" --------------------------------- Book: "I killed the ship that...killed us. It's not very Christian of me." Mal: "You did what's right." Book: "Coming from you that means...almost nothing." --------------------------------- Operative: "You willing to die for that belief?" Mal: "I am." (pulls out his gun and shoots at the Operative repeatedly) "Course, that ain't exactly Plan A."
"Consider that a divorce" - Quaid to his "wife" in Total Recall "Uh-uh, Princess. We're having you fixed. You're gonna be respectful, compliant, and appreciative... the way a woman should be." - Cohaagen, Total Recall "I can't lie to you about your chances, but... you have my sympathies." - Ash to Ripley, Alien "All right, sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed? Another glorious day in the Corps! A day in the Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I LOVE the Corps! " - Sgt.Apone, Aliens "That's it man, game over man, game over! What the fuck are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do?" - Hudson, Aliens
"I know you gentlemen have been through a lot, but when you find the time, I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH!" - Garry, The Thing "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum." - Nada, They Live "Critter 1: They have weapons Critter 2: So what [Critter 2 is shot off the porch] Critter 1: Fuck! " - Critters, Critters (most hilarious moment of the movie)

Chicken? ---------------------------------- Lord Helmet: Did you see anything? Col. Sanders: No sir, I did not see you playing with your dolls again, sir!
Here's some different ones. Dutch: If it bleeds, we can kill it. ------------------------ Jesse Ventura: You're all a bunch of slack-jawed faggots! ------------------------ Ahnold in Running Man: (paraphrase) You're going to eat those words. But I hope you leave room for my fist, cause I'm gonna ram it down your throat and break your goddamn spine!!!! ------------------------ Lt Gorman: Yes Hicks? Hudson: Hudson, sir. He's Hicks. Lt. Gorman: What's the question Private? Hudson: How do I get outta this chicken shit outfit?
Predator had some good ones: Poncho: You're bleeding, man. Blain: I ain't got time to bleed. [Poncho shoots a bunch of grenades up to the top of the cliff] Poncho: You got time to duck? Billy: I'm scared Poncho. Poncho: Bullshit. You ain't afraid of no man. Billy: There's something out there waiting for us, and it ain't no man. We're all gonna die. And of course B5: "Ambassador Kosh has been a busy boy today." "They say God works in mysterious ways." "Maybe so, but He's a con man compared to the Vorlon." It's getting faster. I swear they are evolving right before my eyes. If you see something this big with eight legs coming your way, let me know. I have to kill it before it develops language skills." - Londo "I want to live just long enough to be there when they cut your head off and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next 10 generations that some favours come at too high a price. I want to look up into your lifeless eyes and wave, like this. Can you and your associates arrange that for me, Mr. Morden?" - Vir
Bad movie, but great line "To be or not to be... [building is blown up] ....not to be." Ahnold in Last Action Hero "Let off some steam Bennett." Ahnold in Commando after piping him. "Remember Sully I promised to kill you last [lets him drop], I lied." Ahnold in Commando yet again. "Stick around." Ahnold after throwing a machete through a guerilla in Predator.
Gorman: Apone! Look... we can't have any firing in there. I, uh... I want you to collect magazines from everybody. Hudson: Is he fuckin' crazy? Frost: What the hell are we supposed to use man? Harsh language?
Oscar: I guess what bothers me the most is people that think Jethro Tull is just a person in a band. Shrink: Who's Jethro Tull?
Once again, it's got to be Kosh. "The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote." Now if you are talking literature, recently that's been changed to my current sig.
Not a sci-fi quote, but your sig reminds me of this gem from Second Hand Lions: "Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in."
Garak had some great ones: Bashir: So of the stories you told me, which ones were true? Garak: My dear doctor, all of them were true. Bashir: What about the lies? Garak: Especially the lies. Bashir: If you lie all the time, no one is going to believe you, even when you're telling the truth. Garak: Are you sure that's the point, Doctor? Bashir: Of course. What else would it be? Garak: That you should never tell the same lie twice. Bashir: They broke seven of your transverse ribs and fractured your clavicle! Garak: Ah, but I got off several cutting remarks which no doubt did serious damage to their egos.
The universe speaks in many languages but only one voice. The langage is not Narn or human or Centauri or Gaim or Minbari. It speaks in the language of hope. It speaks in the language of trust. It speaks in the language of strength and the language of compassion. It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul. But always it is the same voice. It is the voice of our ancestors speaking through us. And the voice of our inheritors waiting to be born. It is the small, still voice that says: "We are one." No matter the blood, no matter the skin, no matter the world, no matter the star: we are one. No matter the pain, no matter the darkness, no matter the loss, no matter the fear: we are one. Here gathered together in common cause we agree to recognize this singular truth and this singular rule: that we must be kind to one another. Because each voice enriches us and ennobles us, and each voice lost, diminishes us. We are the voice of the universe, the soul of creation, the fire that will light the way to a better future. We are one. - B5 No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power tyrants and dictators cannot stand. The Centauri learned that lesson once. We will teach it to them again. Though it take a thousand years, we will be free. - G'Kar, B5 "There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain." - G'Kar, B5
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably." Those words were uttered by Judge Aareon Satie, as wisdom and warning. The first time any man's freedom is trodden on, we're all damaged. -Picard, TNG
Kosh had the best lines on B5. "A stroke of the brush does not guarantee art from the bristles." "They are a dying people. We should let them pass." (Sinclair) "Who? The Narn, or the Centauri?" "Yes." "We take no interest in the affairs of others." "Understanding is a three-edged sword." "You do not understand. But you will."
"Do, or do not. There is no try." -Yoda, ESB "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that" -HAL, 2001 "What are you waiting for? You're faster than this. ... Stop trying to hit me and hit me." "Welcome to the real world." "Free your mind." -Morpheus, Matrix "Dodge this!" -Trinity, Matrix "You hear that, Mr. Anderson? It is the sound of inevitability. It is the sound of your death. Goodbye, Mr. Anderson." -Agent Smith "There is no spoon" "If I were you, I would hope that we don't meet again." -Neo "Game over, man!" "Let's bug out and call it even." -Hudson, "Aliens"
"You're all gonna die. The only question is how you check out. Do you want it on your feet? Or on your fuckin' knees... begging? I ain't much for begging! Nobody ever gave me nothing! So I say *fuck* that thing! Let's fight it!" - Dillon, Alien 3 "We can smile, we can cry. We can bleed... we can fuck." - Jessica, Screamers
Stilgar: I wish to return to our old ways. Leto: The deserts dying, Stil. Stilgar: And the Freman too, I'm afraid. Leto: We're about to go through the crucible, but we'll come out the other side. We always arise from our own ashes. Everything returns later in its... changed form. Stilgar: [Leto hands Stil Pauls ring] Your grandfather's ring... and your father's. Leto: And now the Fremen's - to remind you of Muad'Dib. To remind you that all humans make mistakes, and that all leaders are but human.
