To rip off SnowFire's idea, what's your favorite movie one liner?

My favorite would probably be from the movie The Usual Suspects. "1...2...3...4...5...6...7...huh. Oswald was a fag." (I have this as my windows startup sound.)

Very close runner up is "How you gonna get down that hill?" from the western, "Hombre".

And second place runner up, (hey, they do it at Miss America), is from Cool Hand Luke. "I can eat 50 eggs in an hour."

Best movie lines:

From Goldfinger:
Bond: "Do you expect me to talk?"
Goldfinger: "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die."

From Star Trek: Insurrection

Troi: "And have you noticed that your boobs are firmer these days? Not that we care in this day in age."

From Patton:

Patton: "Rommel, you bastard, I read your book!"

From 2001: A Space Odyessy:

Hal 9000: "Good evening, Dave. Just a moment, just a moment..."

Finally, my favorite Bond line:

In On Her Majesty's Secret Service, George Lazenby's only stint as Bond, the opening action sequence on the beach has a girl reject Bond, run away from him, and steal his Aston Martin. The camera then pans to Bond as he says:

"This never happened to the other guy..."

("2001")

HAL 9000: I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you do that...

("Pirates of Silicon Valley" *allright, it was a TV movie, but it was a movie wasn't it?*)

Goines: There's the television. It's all right there. It's all right there. Look. Listen. Kneel. Pray. Commercials.

Both from "12 Monkeys."

Stewart: William! Move your head!
Look at the size of that boy's head!
Tony: Shhhh!
Stewart: I'm not kidding, that's like an orange on a toothpick!

From "So I Married an Axe Murderer."

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

From "The Princess Bride." Can anybody name the word that he kept using?
