Cheer up, it's another movie meme!

vanillafluffyBecause I'm having a crappy evening, I decided it was time for another movie quote meme to cheer me up. I'm doing something differently this time---instead of one quote from a movie, I've got two (thinking that if one doesn't jog something, maybe the other one will).
===
1.
"Are you sure you're ready for this?"
"I'll do my best."
"Your best? Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen."
"Well, I'm one of those fortunate people who like my job, sir. Got my first chemistry set when I was seven, blew my eyebrows off, we never saw the cat again, been into it ever since."

"What the fuck did they do to this fish? Batter it to death?"
"Fish and chips, national dish, mate."
"More like a national disaster!"
"So, let me get this straight. 'Bollocks' is bad, whereas 'the dog's bollocks' is good, huh?"
"Yeah."
"Oh, bollocks!"

"Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane."
"Anything you put in my mouth you're gonna lose."
"Naw, you don't understand. You do that and I'll put all eight inches of steel in your ear."
"All right. But you should know that sudden serious brain injury causes the victim to bite down hard. In fact, I hear the bite reflex is so strong they have to pry the victim's jaws open with a crowbar."

"Wait a minute, this is the future. Where are all the phaser guns?"
"What would you say if I called you a brutish fossil, symbolic of a decayed era gratefully forgotten?"
"I don't know... thanks?"

5.
"Killing a woman, it's not the same as killing a man. You have to pull the trigger a different way."
"Chit-chat...now there's a word I haven't heard in a long time."

6.
"It is years, Your Grace, since I buggered a boy... And in my own defense, I must add, I thought him a girl at the moment of entry."
"Great men, such as yourself, draw rumors as shite draws flies."

7.
"What if I told you insane was working fifty hours a week in some office for fifty years at the end of which they tell you to piss off; ending up in some retirement village hoping to die before suffering the indignity of trying to make it to the toilet on time? Wouldn't you consider that to be insane?"
"I got a problem with a corpse."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, fell from the sky. I don't think he's an astronaut."

"I'm very good at reading what's in a person's eyes."
"That's nice."
"I'm reading yours right now."
"Yeah? What do they say?"
"They say you're sleepy. But I can't figure out is it's too much drugs sleepy, too much work sleepy or I'm so fucking bored sleepy. Maybe you've got that weird fucking sleepy disease. Narco-sleepy. Something sleepy."
"He's a loser. His big ambition is to be a gardener like his grandfather, but the freakin moron can't even grow a tomato. You ever hear of an Italian that can't grow a tomato? I rest my case."
===
9.
"This place is fantastic; it's like "Gone With The Wind" on mescaline. They walk imaginary pets here, Garland---on a fucking leash. And they're all heavily armed and drunk. New York is boring!"
If you're thirsty, a drink will cure it, if you're not, a drink will prevent it. Prevention is better than a cure."

"Now you're thinking, just now "Why me, O God?". The answer is, God has nothing to do with it. In fact, God is never in France this time of year."
"Why not just kill them? I'll do it! I'll run up to Paris - bam, bam, bam, bam. I'm back before week's end. We spend the treasure. How is this a bad plan?"

"I'm sorry, I don't speak English."
"You are speaking English right now."
"No, I only know how to say, "I don't speak English" in English."
"Hey, you know, my dad collected ancient coins, from Rome, China, Siam, Persia...somehow they all ended up in a shoe box in New Jersey."

"I've always wondered, what's the devil look like?"
"Well, there are all manner of lesser imps and demons, Pete, but the great Satan hisself is red and scaly with a bifurcated tail, and he carries a hay fork."
"Oh, no. No, sir. He's white, as white as you folks, with empty eyes and a big hollow voice. He likes to travel around with a mean old hound."
"Care for some gopher?"
"No thank you, Delmar. One third of a gopher would only arouse my appetite without bedding it down."
"Oh, you can have the whole thing. Me and Pete already had one apiece. We ran across a whole... gopher village."

"Yes, London. You know: fish, chips, cup 'o tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary-fucking-Poppins... LONDON."
"You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together."
"Would someone mind telling me, who are you?"
"And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm."

"You see that city over there? That's where I'm supposed to be. Not down here with the dogs, and the garbage, and the fucking last month's newspapers blowing back and forth. I've had it with them, I've had it with you, I've had it with all this - I want room service! I want the club sandwich, I want the cold Mexican beer, I want a $10,000-a-night hooker! I want my shirts laundered... like they do... at the Imperial Hotel... in Tokyo."
"You can't shoot me."
"Not in the head."

There are no repeats of movies from the last meme, although there *is* considerable repeat of actors. Given my proclivities, that ought to give you a clue or two.....

And Sigourney Weaver is pretty awesome, it's true --both as a dramatic and a comic actress. For instance, campy though it is, I love her in Galaxy Quest. Granted, Alan Rickman doesn't make that movie so bad, either. :3
