What obscure line do you still say

Dat’s da suck job!

Several from Working Girl. I think that's obscure to anyone other than old gay men. My favorite is "6,000 dollahs! It's not even leathah." Which didn't even make the top ten in this video.

It’s not even leather is a great quote. The rest - eh.

[bold]"Jou don' haff to tell thee whole world!"[/bold] We had my partner's daughter (aged 8, and a horrible little cunt now at 50) spend the night and she brought a friend with her. The daughter declared, "Sara's a Mexican!" and this is what Sara said.

[bold]"Pretty pretty?"[/bold] "Female Trouble," of course.

It's from real life and not a movie, but a bitchy co-worker at my partner's place of employment emailed "let's cool it with the self-congratulatory emails" when some colleagues were celebrating some sort of accomplishment or other. I want to reply with this when a flurry of "congrats!" emails goes around at my office, but I'd like to keep my job.

"They even brush the snow right offa your car!"

My brother-in-law, the Jewish prince, who never met a snowblower nor picked up a shovel in his life, in a promo video kvelling about the services offered at the Assisted Living place where they now live. He doesn't understand, apparently, that if the people clearing the parking lots LEFT the fucking snow on his car, it would eventually land on the freshly plowed parking lot.

"Drink your juice, Shelby" - not obscure and from "Steel Magnolias"

In college some straight frat brothers and I were watching a straight porn movie on a VCR. I'm old. And the guido male was making fucking his lady and said "one finga, two fingas, here comes da cock". We all still say more than 30 years later.

R4 At the risk of sounding stupid and getting yelled at, I wanted to know how you were able to bold your post? I have never been able to figure out how to bold any text within the DL posting function.

R19 Before the text to be bolded type [bold] then after the text you want bolded type [/bold]

Or, before [bold]the text to be bolded[/bold] then after the text you want bolded...

Which looks good on the page but not as a teaching aid. Use the [ symbol and type the word bold followed by another ] before the text, then, when you reach the end of the text to be bolded, after the last word first enter an [, then the forward slash / and the word bold (no spaces) followed by the final ]

“Lick it up, baby. Lick. It. Up.”

From real life: I order martinis “very very very very dry” in a pretentious mid Atlantic accent which comes from a snooty former colleague. Also from RL, “this is my fire water this is my chaser” from the next door neighbors children imitating their grandad.

I like to call a "good" leader a "big toe." From Stripes:

[quote] “I’m gonna volunteer my leadership to this platoon. An army without leaders is like a foot without a big toe. And Sergeant Hulka isn’t always gonna be here to be that big toe for us. I think that we owe a big round of applause to our newest, bestest buddy, and big toe… Sergeant Hulka.”

Yeah? Well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man. (I say this one the most)

Hey, careful, man, there’s a beverage here!

You’re out of your element!

And this one I use the edited for tv quotation because I think it’s funny. In the movie Walter asks, “You see what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass?!" the TV version was edited to "You see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?!"

Fight a stranger in the Alps is part of my vernacular.

Criteria, girls. How are some of these movies obscure? Big Lebowski, obscure? Ridiculous.

"This ain't always about you, Cheese!"

This one's so apropos of, well, EVERYTHING. I've even got my sisters saying it, and they've never even seen the commercial😄

I fell in love with Bobby Troup just because of these short lines of dialogue.

It could be just a throwaway line in a throwaway cameo, but Bobby sells it hard. Can totally see this happening irl, just before opening fire on a host of self-entitled Ivy League MASH doctors.

I use this one all the time, but I don't know if it's obscure enough for OP:

"Any more people in here and we're gonna need a lubricant."

("Postcards From the Edge.")

R76 I used that line, slightly altered and in slightly different circumstances when my neighbor asked, incredulously, how I get my car into my very small garage. The simple fact is that it's a small car, bought for just that reason: so it can fit in the garage.

I told her I greased the sides and then it just slid right in. She's German, so processing English takes a bit of time. She didn't seem to know whether she should be shocked or laugh in response.

I use some lines older generations of my family said.

"Meine schönen Perlen!" German side. My great-grandfather died in 1946. My grandfather's aunt stayed with the widow and the body lay in the parlor. The crowd was assembled and Tante was still upstairs, and they heard a distinct plink, plink, plink above their heads, and then this line. Her string of pearls had broken and one by one they were landing in the chamber pot. She was an American-living Nazi sympathizer, and no one approved of that.

"Mary drove her ducks to a bad market." Applachian/Ozark line. A great-grandmother (b 1858) was talking about a niece who had wed a terrible husband.

"Ahm nawt eeding that." At Thanksgiving dinner at my partner's ex-cousin-in-law's house (We are friends.) with other friends of hers, including the Down syndrome sister of her best friend. The hostess is a terrible cook, and she placed an unset pumpkin pie on the table with the filling like runny shit on wet mud.

This is a very well-known line from a very well-known movie. I.e., What Ever Happened to Baby Jane. Bette Davis to Joan Crawford.

Samantha (Sex and the City) wound up at a relationship counsellor with the boyfriend with a small dick.

After he departs in a rage, S looks at the counsellor, shrugs and says:

What can I say? I need a big dick.

Counsellor says (so dryly): I hear that.

I say I hear that, dryly, all the time.

From the Dreamland episode of X-Files:

‘Special tramp Dana Scully!’

Said by a character’s angry wife.

This is breaking the rules b/c it’s something an actor said, not a character, but I loved it and say it all the time. While filming Batman Forever, Tommy Lee Jones got fed up with Jim Carrey’s improv, zaniness, and other antics and told him, “I cannot sanction your buffoonery!”

I love that phrase so much.

I am serious. And don’t call me Shirley.

Now we see the violence inherent in the system

“I can’t make milk!” This comes into my head every once in a while, a line Nathan Lane said in a sitcom (about a winery?) when someone asked him for milk. Maybe someone knows the episode I mean.

I forget the film but Susan Hayward said, "I'm a bitch in the boardroom, a bore in the bedroom and a bear on the toilet" as some point...or she should have...

"I was raised on the dairy, bitch!" - Will Sasso as Kenny Rogers doing "Jackass" on "Mad TV."

This is like an Easter egg hunt.

There are so many wonderful lines, R146! And yet the one I end up saying most often around the house ends up being, “No bone!” (from the modeling circulating through the change rooms after the fashion show). I have no idea why.

The other one I say all the time is, “Well, I was going to say ‘liberal,’ but it’s dark, too,” (modified from Gene Hackman’s remark about Bob Dole in [italic]The Birdcage[/italic]) whenever anything (weather, color shades) is described as “dark.”

To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people! I've known sheep that could outwit you. I've worn dresses with higher IQs. But you think you're an intellectual, don't you, ape?

R22 I picked up the phone and all I heard was the ocean.

R226 was meant for R222 my bad

It could be worse, it could be raining.

Sunset and Camden!

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, fuck you, I'm out

Who is she? Some car hop or dress extra?

(Sunset Boulevard)

"YOU BANISHED, MAGGOT!"

(Atmosfear, the 90s video boardgame)

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCH!!!

We had meat. Not much, but we had it.

(Henry Fonda as Tom Joad, The Grapes Of Wrath)

There is no need to know about presidents, wars, numbers or science. Just listen to me and you'll learn.

Fasten. your seatbelts its going to be a bumpy night.

Buck never would have _____(fill in whatever transgression)

Said once to my husband while he watched a Desi boy blow me. From Who's Afraid...

"What a cluck! What a cluck you are."

"Yeah, punch it Margaret!"

You shithead! I’m glad I tortured you!

(Repo Man)

Could be worse, could be raining

“What’s in your wallet?”

"Such is the fate of wild poodles."

National Lampoon mid-seventies.

He didn't get in the cockadoodie car!

R236 got a 280 on his SAT verbal…he’s still trying to figure the definition of obscure even after all these years.

That’s mean

r236 r237 Please look up the meaning of "obscure" before you post again.

Yeah, the fasten your seatbelts / bumpy night line is famous.

You're nothin' but a $3-dollar whore!

Ab-by… normal!

Was she a big girl? Roomy in the hips?

R236, on what fucking planet is that line obscure?

This thread is garbage.

That goes for R251, too.

Jesus Christ this place has gone downhill.

Nice job, Marissa. Way to give a hundred and ten percent.

‘You’re a weird little shit, Frank, and I don’t getcha’

Said by Dwight Yoakam’s redneck character in Sling Blade to young Lucas Black. My dad and I have said this back and forth to each other for about 20 years now.

Oh! Did someone say obscure lines? Here's some of my favorites, let me know if you've heard any of these before. I won't list what movies they're from because that would make it too easy:

"There's No Place like Home"

"May the Force be with you."

"Nobody puts Baby in a corner."

"I'm the King of the World!"

"E.T. phone home"

"Bond. James Bond."

I’m tired. Tired and beaten. There’s no use pretending.

Don't you turn your back on me you chalk-faced whore!

She's just trying to lend a helping hand - said with a Southern accent by Joseph Cotten in Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte.

Lair of the White Worm has so many

"You have been a good girl Eve..."

"Me mum neevah.."

"Do I remind you of your Mum do I?"

"I really don't know..." with strong Amanda Donohoe British accent.

Not obscure but I say these occasionally apropos nothing to make myself laugh:

Dimi, why you do this to me? (The Exorcist)

Frank Booth in Blue Velvet: 'HEY NEIGHBOR!' 'Be polite!' 'Let Tits see her kid'

I wish I'd never seen... your building. (Patricia Neal over-emoting for the ages in The Fountainhead)

Too many from Mommie Dearest to mention. A few of my favorites:

You know, a few minutes ago a reporter asked me what I thought and how I would describe the marriage between the Soft Drink King and the Queen of Hollywood. I told him I thought it was a hell of a match!

Christinaaa! Christopher! Damn it!

Barbara [italic]please![/italic]

Dami!

DON’T LOOK AT ME, DON’T FUCKIN’ LOOK AT ME! - Blue Velvet

When faced with some NYC sensory assult, I say "Oh God, I wish we lived in Connecticut."

2 From Working Girl.

Fuck maybe, maybe means dick.

I'm not a steak, you can't just order me

Aileen Wuornos documentaries are a wealth of memorable quotes: "I'll be up in Heaven while y'all are rottin' in Hell". "You sabotaged my ass, Society". "You're an inhumane bunch of livin' bastards and bitches".

Great balls of fire! - from the Scarlett O'Hara auditions tape.

Said to me and my husband by a waiter just after showing us to our table,

"Let the ambience begin!"

Wolfman’s got nards!

Quite a few uttered by Maggie Smith in California Suite:

“10 a.m. is the morning. That is redundant, you A.H.”

“ I look as if I've been hit by a bus! A fully loaded, guided tour bus!”

“I asked for a simple rinse, and that ditzy queen gave me crayon!”

Yes Maggie Smith is very funny in that. I love one of her other lines:

Can't you pay me one bloody compliment? I've spent 3 HOURS dressing for this horseshit affair!

Oh just checked and the line is supposed to be:

Will you please be nice to me and pay me one bloody compliment. I've been getting ready for this horseshit affair for *three hours!*

While we're on Dame Maggie

'Oh that's tacky. That's really tacky'.

Nobody leaves this place without singing the blues.

-adventures in babysitting.

“But Wanda! It’s 5,000 dollars!”

As kids, my brothers and I would repeat this line, with our version of a Russian accent. It was from some old B&W movie on a UHF channel. To this day, we have no idea what movie it was. It might have been Peter Lorre saying the line, with some old harridan screaming back, “I don’t care!"

"Monty you terrible cunt"

Come here and let me bite you, you darling boy - Eve Arden in Mildred Pierce.

When you're smiling, the whole world smiles with you...

Coral Browne as Mercy Croft : "People are always telling me how cheerful you look, riding around on your bike."

Beryl Reid as Sister George : [bold]"Well, you'd look cheerful too with fifty cubic centimeters throbbing away between your legs!"[/bold]

Ruby Gentry: Turn off the pumps.

Fanny Brice: You planning to make advances?

Max, you sly puss…

Avigdor: Now my secret. I'm the Tsar of Russia.

Worked with many fellow gays. Whenever we would get pissed off or frustrated with the bureaucracy of our firm we'd blurt out:

"I'm on the Board of Directors..."

never saying out loud the full line ' OF THIS LOUSY COMPANY!!"

Of course we all knew the full line and smiled. Our straight bosses were clueless.

“Life is hard, but it’s harder if you’re stupid” -The Friends of Eddie Coyote

“This is someone I love…You, I don’t even like!” -Mark Rydell’s character after smashing a Coke battle against his gf’s face

“See you real soon” -Death (dryly) passing by a cigarette smoker in Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey

^^ The actual line begins “This life’s hard…”

"Well, for starters, you have to purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka."

"Let me be the new Princess!"

R266, thank you for sharing this one:

“You sabotaged my ass, Society"

Brilliant!

“Who the fuck died and made you Grace Kelly?”

“Working Girl” - Alec Baldwin.

“He’s not robbing the cradle, you’re robbing the grave!”

“Circle of Two” 1981 film.

R284 and the actual movie’s title is “The Friends of Eddie Coyle.”

I shan’t “Oh, dear” you as it’s based on one of my favorite novels and Mitchum’s pretty great as Eddie.

Coyote is funnier.

When we can’t make up our minds about something: the line of an increasingly vehement gay Soviet circa 1953 decorator prepping the bier for the display of Stalin’s coffin after his death to Georgy Malenkov, Stalin’s designated successor (Jeffrey Tambor). He’s trying to get Malenkov (a ditherer) to make up his mind as to whether it’s to be draped with a gathered fabric or one the falls straight to the floor.

“Ruched” holding up one piece of fabric, “or not ruched,” holding up another. And so on three or four times: “Ruched or not ruched.”

And if I ever spy those two beady little eyes of yours again, I’m going to walk right up to you and pound on that monkey skull of your until it rings like a Chinese gong!

"I hope _______'s pecker falls off and he gets a permanent case of the clap."

from An Unmarried Woman, Elaine talking about Erica's ex-husband Martin, who just dumped her for a woman he met while buying a shirt in Bloomingdale's. I find an occasional real-life reason to utter it.

WE’RE LIVING IN A SOCIETY!!!”

—George Costanza

Her? Said in the style of Michael Bluth

Laura Mars: I can't understand how it's possible......to live your whole life......without someone......and be doing more or less okay.

Laura Mars: I'm completely out of control!

‘Skills on toast’

Said by young Will Poulter in Son of Rambow. Cute movie, check it out.

I say “Skux life” and “Majestical” from Hunt for the Wilderpeople.

Alcoholic Ward Patient in Them!: Please! My nerves.

“You should be glad you’re not dying in the street like a dog!” —Nate Fischer to an entitled, annoying grieving customer.

“Newsflash! Other people exist!” —Claire Fischer dropping knowledge on their asses.

“Well, I’m a lot older than you…” Pause. Pause. Pause. (Weakly arguing ) “No, you’re so young.”

Can he used with almost anything people say to be self-deprecating.

My mother would often respond to “where’s my xyz?” with the indisputable observation that “if it was up your ass you’d know.”

R271 What am I, chopped liver?

I'll get us a refill of this horrible liquid!

With a good friend of mine who’s also a major fan of the 1978 version of Death On The Nile, we will occasionally threaten each other in reply to a bitchy comment with the Bette Davis line, “You will withdraw that, or I shall prosecute you with the utmost vigor!”

“I’ll write a strongly worded letter to the Times.”from a Woody Allen movie.

Good to use in so many situations when dealing with friends upset over something petty but out of their control.

I think that is a variation on a bit in Manhattan.

Isaac Davis: Has anybody read that Nazis are gonna march in New Jersey? Y'know, I read this in the newspaper. We should go down there, get some guys together, y'know, get some bricks and baseball bats and really explain things to them.

Party Guest: There is this devastating satirical piece on that on the Op Ed page of the Times, it is devastating.

Isaac Davis: Well, a satirical piece in the Times is one thing, but bricks and baseball bats really gets right to the point.
