Favourite movie one liners

Slim Pickens as "Wiley" in: Major Dundee: "Preacher..you sure do kick up a lot of dust with your Sermons."

 

Pork Chop Hill:

Chinese loud speaker guy....

"Good evening...King Company...isn't it?
Nice to meet you King Company.
You're coming to visit us in our new home. Care to hear what happened to the previous tenants...Easy Company?
There were 96 men in Easy Company... now, as near as we can tell, 31 are dead, 34 wounded, 22 captured, and 9 unaccounted for.
A Company, wiped out for a Political whim...to please chair-bound Politicians sitting fat & smug thousands of miles away.
Men of King Company...you must know this isn't your fight...but if you insist upon coming, okay, then...
Welcome to the meat grinder."

Though not a one-liner, it's from one of my favorite few scenes from: The Fighting 69th w/ James Cagney, Pat O'Brien, George Brent, Alan Hale Sr, and Gwinn "Big Boy" Williams.

The scenes are at the end of the movie and is just after convicted "coward" Private Jerry Plunkett, escapes his imprisonment and runs to the fighting to participate.

Sgt Wynn (Alan Hale Sr.): "What are you doin' up here with fighting men...you run the wrong way again?"

Pvt. Jerry Plunkett (James F. Cagney): "I didn't come up herre to look at your big ugly puss, now shut-up and show me how to use this stove pipe!" (the Stokes Mortar)

Sgt Wynn: "What for? So you can turn it on the 69th and kill off a few more good men like Tim and Kilmer!"

Pvt. Plunkett: "Listen....I know what you think of me and I know what I think of you....but nevermind our own private scrap...i'll give you a bellyfull of that later, now shut your big Irish trap and show me how to use that Stokes! If you don't, i'll shove this bayonet right through ya. You show me how to use it so's I can't miss!"

Sgt. Wynn: "There's nothin' to it, here, put your hand on the fuse...pull the pin....drop it in."

Plunkett: "This doesn't look like much." as he drops in the first round.

Sgt Wynn: "That TnT in them will give us a chance to blow a hole in that wire as wide as Central Park."

Plunkett: "Here's a kiss for you Heine!" as he drops round after round into the Stokes.

[The Germans see what's happening and call in an artillery barrage on Plunkett and Wynns position which temporarily puts them out of action because of a nearby explosion.]

Sgt. Wynn: "Are you alright?"

Plunkett: saying: "Alright." as he struggles to lift the Mortar off him and regain his composure. "I'll show them Krauts!.....Can you walk?"

Sgt. Wynn: "I guess so...why?"

Plunkett: "Grab some men and get this ammunition forward."

Sgt. Wynn: "Hey!...you 69th men...grab these shells and move up!"

(Wynn and Plunket move and set up a new position.)

Plunkett saying: "Put a sausage skin on this one you Krauts!" as he drops in another round. "Yeah! heres one for the 69th!" as he drops in another round.

Major Alec: "Who's firing that Stokes?"

Major "Wild Bill" Donovan: "Big Mike."

Plunkett: "Here's one for Brooklyn!" as he drops in another round.

Major Donovan: "If he can keep that up, he'll blow a hole in that wire to sail a Leviathon through."

Plunkett: "Here's one for Yonkers and the Bronx...divide it among ya! Here's one for you pal! and another one." As he continued to drop in more rounds.

[A nearby German arms and throws a Stick Grenade at Wynn and Plunketts position.]

Plunkett sees it and yells: "Look out Mike!" as he takes his helmet off his head-placing it and falling over the grenade as it explodes using his body to protect Big Mike.

Major Donovan: "Now Alec." Major Alec blows the whistle for their men to charge the Germans positions. The Doughboys yell their battlecries as they charge through artillery and machinegun-fire.

Major Donovan reaches Big Mikes position and says: "Mike, Mike, God bless you! You saved the day for us! They're swarming up, over and through! Man what a fight you made!"

Sgt. Wynn saying as they both look down at the badly wounded Plunkett: "What a fight I made Major, there's the man who made it, not me."

Major Donovan: "It's not Plunkett?"

Sgt. Wynn: "It is sir."

Major Doovan to Plunkett: "I'm sorry Soldier."

[Shortly after back at the Aid Station.]

Plunkett: "Father Duffy, Father Duffy."

Father Duffy: "Jerry, Jerry, this is Father Duffy."

Plunkett: "I just been talkin' to your boss."

Father Duffy saying: "Your not afraid, are you Jerry?" as he starts The Last Rites.

Plunkett: "No Father, not anymore.......I been an awful lot of trouble to you; haven't I Father?.....Father, who's that with you?"

Father Duffy: "Major Donovan, Big Mike."

Plunkett to Mike: "Mike...i'm awful sorry about Tim." (Mike silently shakes his head in understanding and forgiveness.)

Plunkett looks at Father Duffy and says: "I'm ready Father." (Father Duffy proceedes to say a prayer in Latin.)

Major Donovan: "I once thought this man was a coward."

Sgt. Wynn with tears in his eyes says: "A coward sir. From now on, every time I hear the name Plunkett; i'll stand up to attention and salute."

I hate to see James Cagney die in this movie and these ending scenes get to me every time.

 

Wasn't this line used in 'Full Metal Jacker'?

 

I couldn't find it, if it was. Here is the link to memorable quotes from Full Metal Jacket... Full Metal Jacket (1987) - Memorable quotes

 

Hangin's too good fer him! Burnin's too good fer him! He should be torn into itty bitty pieces and buried alive! Hanover Fiste about Captain Sternn in the movie Heavy Metal

 

from Star Trek, the original, episode "the Changeling"
Scotty has just been killed trying to save Ohura from being brain wiped...

Kirk to Nomad..."What did you do to her?"

Nomad back..."That unit is defective. It's thinking is chaotic. Absorbing it unsettled me."

Spock to Nomad..."That unit is a woman."

Nomad back..."A mass of conflicting impulses."

 

Thanks for that one Ivan--that character was my kind of character. ;-))

Dirty Harry: "Look!! i'm coming down there in five minutes and you better have those files open-you pencil-pushing-son-of-a-bitch!!!"

 

Farewell to the King

Nigel Halvers (the British Officer) when asking Raja/Nick Nolte (King of the Headhunters), what he wants in return to form a force to fight against the Japanese in the middle of Borneo.
replies without hesitation,
"FREEDOM, and GUNS so you can't take the freedom away, and Grenades, Mortars, and Mines so you can't take the Guns away !"

A small man, (a nobody), who figured out what Diplomats & Politicians have been searching to define since time began, in one sentence & (perhaps) two breaths.

 

Just watched Hot shots Pt 1...

Topper Harley: Can you save him?
Doctor: Can't be sure. I'm not a very good doctor.

 

It's from a TV-show but beats any movie one liners by points!
