Mine is from an early 2000s film called Vanilla Sky.

      Lieutenant Worf : [referring to Admiral Satie] I believed her. I, I helped her. I did not see what she was.

      Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Mister Worf, villains who twirl their moustaches are easy to spot. Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well camouflaged.

      Lieutenant Worf : I think… after yesterday, people will not be so ready to trust her.

      Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Maybe. But she, or someone like her, will always be with us, waiting for the right climate in which to flourish, spreading fear in the name of righteousness. Vigilance, Mister Worf - that is the price we have to continually pay.

        There. Are. FOUR LIGHTS!! Also Jean Luc. Anytime I’m telling my SO there are 4 of something. This is probably why we can’t keep friends.

    Not from a movie, but there’s a line from The Office that really stuck with me:

    “Not everything’s a lesson, Ryan. Sometimes, you just fail.”

    Im in fucking Austria. Illiterate farmers the lot of them here. Nobody has ever seen a movie in English or any other language than German.

    There is nothing I can quote that they would recognise.

    So alone.

      Are there no German language instances?

      Excuse me while I stare at my big hairy (proud!) feet as I try to figure out whether or not you just insulted me.

    Its dumb, but whenever someone mentions peaches I always hit them with “I could eat peaches for hours”. An obscure line from Face Off but for whatever reason it’s stuck in my head over all these years. No one ever gets the reference.

    There are just so many quotable lines from Kung Pow

    “That’s a lot of nuts!”

    “You go that way, I’ll go home.”

    “We trained him wrong as a joke”

    “If you got an ass I’ll kick it!”

    “My nipples look like Milk Duds!”

    “I’m a man too, you know. I go peepee standing up!”

    “I rock and roll, all day long, sweet Susie!”

    “Leap that wall, if you’re so great!”

    “I’m a nice man with happy feelings all the time!”

    “I’ve got some yellow liquid for your popcorn, and it’s non-dairy!”

      Even as late as last year, I walked into a dark room, half shouted “Aziz!” and someone turned on a light.

      He later claimed to have never heard of the movie.
