Ah well, if Star Trek is allowed, I want:

It's life, Jim, but not as we know it.

Beam me up, Scotty. (apparently never actually said, like "Play it again, Sam")

Bingley

Beam me up, Scotty

Of course! Has to be in the top ten of the most-spoken and most-heard screen phrases ever! Thanks!

Beam me up, Bingley!

"Fasten your seatbelts...
It's going to be a bumpy night."
-Bette Davis in All About Eve

"Dave's not here"
-Cheech and Chong
Up in Smoke

"Just what do you think you're doing Dave?"
-Hal
2001:A Space Odyssey

Star Trek

I'm a ________(frequently doctor), Jim, not a ________.

Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone certainly became part of the language.

And I was waitin' for tsuwm on this one but I can waits no more:

"The facts. Just the facts."

--Joe Friday, Dragnet.....Obvious?

just the facts, ma'am
and as missquoted in Die Hard II "Just the fax, ma'am, just the fax."

SWAT has introduced such a phrase. By the end of the summer, everyone will be using it.

And, of course, "I'm king of the world!", repopularizez by Titanic but originally from another film...anybody know?

Dave's not here"
-Cheech and Chong
Up in Smoke

Dave? Dave who?

Wasn't "I'm king of the world" by the bad boy himself James Cagney while holding off the 'coppers' from on top of an oil tank (something like that)...?

"Thankyah-vurah much" - Can't you just hear Elvis say it?

"It could be worse... it could be raining" - Marty Feldman in 'Young Frankenstein' (that's "Frahn-ken-shteen")

"If I held you any closer I'd be behind you" - Groucho Marx

"I love the smell of napalm in the morning" - Robert Duvall in 'Apocolypse Now'

Edit:Sorry, Juan... I took back your mantle piece and leave you with this: "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!"

Righto, Musick! Give that man a see-gar! and a Lewinsky to go with it

>That wasn’t the first time that line had been used in a movie. Many years earlier, in a classic Warner Brothers gangster movie ["White Heat"] tough guy Jimmy Cagney, being chased by police, stood on top of a burning tanker and screamed, “Look at me, ma –I'm the king of the world!"< Just before, I believe, he was blasted to bits by the coppers' machine-gun bullets (it was a short-loved reign).

But ashkually®, it was evidently none other than Alexander the Great who first used the phrase (albeit in Classic Greek), "King of the World."

>Edit:Sorry, Juan... I took back your mantle piece and leave you with this: "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!"


In fact, I do believe that it is I you are mantling with this line, given that I was the first person to mention it in this thread.

D'OH! - As long as you still believe, sjmaxq!
I suppose it's right give vbq a break...

I got a rock! - Charlie Brown

What you talkin' bout, Willis? - Gary Coleman

Holy ______, Batman! - Burt Ward as Robin

One of my favorites...

Brandy! Throw more Brandy!!! - Jack Lemmon in 'The Great Race'

>D'OH! - As long as you still believe, sjmaxq!

Well, I thought about mentioning it after vbq's post, but I was by no means the only one mantled in that post, and did not want to be the only one raising a fuss about it. You, on the other hand, are family, so the gloves are off. We do sincerely hope you enjoyed the show, and remember, no matter who you are, and what you do to live, drive and survive, there still some things that make us all the same.

Well, there's one line I was really 'spectin' one of our Southern Belles to come up with (and especially our pseudo-Southern Belle late of Atlanta ). It just happens to be the closing line from what many consider to be one of the greatest films of all time. The film was even cited earlier on this thread, and by an Upunderer yet! thanks, Max!

"After all, tomorrow is another day..."

--Scarlett O'Hara, Gone With the Wind

Btw, sjmaxq, this quote, according to Bartleby's, is from both the book and movie. However, the Clark Gable quote, "And, frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn," was tailored for the film by the screenwriter:

>The Columbia World of Quotations. 1996.


NUMBER: 40050
QUOTATION: I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken—and I’d rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.... I wish I could care what you do or where you go, but I can’t. My dear, I don’t give a damn.
ATTRIBUTION: Margaret Mitchell (1900–1949), U.S. novelist. Rhett Butler, in Gone with the Wind, vol. 2, pt. 5, ch. 63 (1936).

In the 1939 movie (screenplay by Sidney Howard), the final words of Rhett’s farewell to Scarlett O’Hara are “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn!” with the emphasis on “give” to soften the impact of the “damn.”

Thanks for the ma'am, ma'am!

Well, I rest my case, triumphantly. I was RIGHT. The book's version, at least according to your source, IS different to the movie's. The word "Frankly" does not appear in the passage from the book, (again, in your source, I've never read the book, or seen the movie), which makes my assertion that the famous quote is specific to the movie absolutely correct.

And the cartoon world is fair game since they were originally shot as cinematic shorts before migrating to the small screen. So...

"I yam what I yam and dat's all what I yam."
--Popeye the Sailor Man (toot!toot!)

"What's up, doc!
--Bugs Bunny

"Sufferin' succotash!"
--Daffy Duck

"I tawt I taw a puddy cat!"
--Tweety Bird

Th-th-th-th-th-that's all folks!"
--Porky Pig

"They went thataway!"
from most any Grade B Western movie

"Who loves ya' baby?"
Telly Savalas

"Heavens to Murgatroyd!"

"Exit, stage left!" or was it "right"?

--Snagglepuss (the lion)


"Smarter than the average bear."
--Yogi Bear


I accidently hit our revered spellchecker and it changed Murgatroyd to Muriel, Snagglepuss to snail, and Yogi to yoke! Wow!!

JFTR, I've also seen the James Cagney line quoted as this:

“I’m the king of the world, ma – the king of the world!”

Have to check out White Heat again the next time it's on and see which one it is.

"Warning, Warning... Danger Will Robinson" - B-9 Robot (or Model YM-3) / "Lost in Space". (Dja get it? "benign robot"...)

"Make it so" or "Engage" - Captain Picard / STTNG

"One of these days, Alice..." - Ralph Cramden / The Honeymooners

"Why I oughta..." - Moe / The Three Stooges

Wait a minute:

"Badges? We dun need no steenkin' badges!"
--The deputized Mexican Banditos in Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles.

What happened to Treasure of the Sierra Madre?


Yeah, Faldage, meant to respond to this before, sorry I recalled there was an earlier citation and couldn't remember it...thanks. Don't want to slight one of my favorite flicks. But was it Bogie or Walter Huston who said it? Or someone else? I ferget.

Thanks for reminding me, musick! I wanted to post this earlier, and got distracted. One we just take so much for granted anymore that we fergit it was once a cutting-edge coinage:

"Does not compute! Does not compute! It does not compute!"

--The Robot, Lost in Space (with arms waving wildly )

"I say, I say, it's a joke, son!" -Foghorn Leghorn

"Bah, humbug." -Ebeneazer Scrooge

http://wordsmith.org/board/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=words&Number=44055

The quote from Treasure was:

Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges.

The speaker of the lines was Gold Hat, the bandito leader, played by Alfonso Bedoya.

T'anks, Faldo! 'n t'anks for the Mae West/W.C. Fileds link, Jackie!

And, then there's those Saturday Night Live-isms:

"Jane, you ignorant slut!"
--Dab Akroyd, Weekend Update

"You look mahvelous! Simply mahvelous!
--Billy Crystal, Fernando

"Talk amongst youselves for awhile."

I'm all verklempt.." [Yiddish, sp?]

--Mike Meyers, Lady talk-show host

"That's so special!"
--Dana Carvey, Church Lady

"Girlie man."
--German Weightlifters

"Base-a-ball been velly velly good to me."
--Garrett Morris, Latin Ballplayer


Must be more?....

"What we have here is a failure to communicate." -Cool Hand Luke

EX-TER-MI-NATE EX-TER-MI-NATE The Daleks from Dr. Who

Thunderbirds are GO! from Thunderbirds (can't remember who said it now. Jeff Tracy? Brains?)

Time for bed, said Zebedee. The narrator from The Magic Roundabout

Bingley

"Resistence is futile"
The Borg, Star Trek Next Generation

Why the computer people haven't picked up on this one as an error message is beyond my powers to compute!

Some more from US TV Late Night:

This one has more to do with the the inflection, the sound, than with the actual phrase:

"I did not know that."
--Johnny Carson

"Herrrrrrrrrrrre's, Johnny!" [or any other name]
--Ed McMahon, introducing Johnny Carson


And another SNLism:

"It just goes to show ya...it's always somethin'!"
--Gilda Radner as Roseanna Roseannadanna

A few from Rowen and Martin's Laugh-in:

"Sock it to me."
"Veeery interestink...but stupid."
"Is this the party to whom I am speaking?"
"One ringy dingy, two ringy dingies..."

Yes! Laugh-In! :

You bet your sweet bippy!

How'd'ja like a nice walnetto?

Here come da judge! Here come da judge! Order in da court, 'cause here come da judge!

We use a couple of these in our house on a regular basis:

It's dead, Jim. (some kind of Star Trek reference, now used when referring to, say, an appliance that won't start)

I don't think so, Tim. (from Home Improvement, used when anyone suggests something bloody stupid, reference to Tim Allen's character who did a lot of bloody stupid things on that show)

I don't think so, Tim.

This one needs to be said with just the right tone of voice.

Then there's always (back in the realm of movies):

"Don't call me Shirley."

"Don't call me Shirley."

--first used in Airplane!, I believe, and introduced by Robert Hays as the pilot, then Leslie Nielsen.

Surely that phrase needs the requisite conjunction "And" in front of it, doesn't it? just kidding, Faldage, that's a good one we missed, thanks!

...and don't call me Juan!

In reply to:

---

and don't call me Juan!

---

But Juan! Juayever not?

Yeah, Juan, juayever not?

Here's a good one:

"Would you believe...?"

--Don Adams as Maxwell Smart, Get Smart!

An oldie but goodie I often use :
"I love it when a plan comes together!"
Col.Hannibal Smith on The A Team

In our house the "Get Smart" line was "Sorry 'bout that, chief"
I said it to a First Nations friend too young to remember the show and got a very odd look.

"First Nations"...?

Jackie,

Read "Native Americans". Except we don't call them Native Americans, they would be Native Canadians if anything, so we go with "First Nations". It might be a bit YART-y, I can't recall.

Native Canadians

Y'all aren't in America?

Faldage, I know you're just teasing but...

(This is one of those prescriptive vs. descriptive things) In Canada, we don't use the word "American" unless we mean "relating to the country called the United States of America". I realize it is the name of the continent but no one here uses it that way. Therefore, continents aside, I am certainly NOT in America. I don't care that technically we are both on the continent called America (prescriptivist). It's just not used that way (descriptivist), so to both understand and be understood, one needs to know that.

an other case of politics overriding geography..

but first settlers would do well for a term, since the first nation people are but immigrants from asia, and who were follows several hundred years latter by immigrants from europe (and dna evidence now indicated most of the european population also came from asia..) its really a just marking a cultural difference..

re American - what Bean said.
but first settlers would do well for a term, since the first nation people are but immigrants from asia
Hence First Nations and not Aboriginal, they were the first to establish nations here. Besides it is the currently polite term altough, come to think of it, most of my First Nations friends call themselves Indian.

"Don't call me Shirley." reminds me of...

Sir, I have a question.
What is it Tommy?
It's an interrogative statement used to test knowledge, but that's not important right now.

And the other variations thereof.

And we can't forget this, 'cause "'tis the season!" right, Faldage and ASp?

"Are you crying? Are you crying? There's no crying, there's no crying in baseball!"

--Tom Hanks, A League of Their Own
