At the risk of lowering the tone...

From "They Live", surely the most over the top macho line...

"I'm here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. and I'm all out of bubblegum!"

Not quite Shakespeare but it has a certain charm.

Yes, he's a lovely man. He was very nice when I met him and laughed when I asked to shake the hand that throttled Roger Rabbit

"England expects that every man will do his duty"

Choose one or all from A Man For All Seasons, delivered by the incomparable Paul Scofield:

"I am commanded by the king to be brief, and since I am the king's obedient subject, brief I will be. I die His Majesty's good servant, but God's first."

or this interchange:


Sir Thomas More: (to the executioner) I forgive you, right readily. Be not afraid of your office: you send me to God.
Archbishop Cranmer: You're very sure of that, Sir Thomas?.
Sir Thomas More: He will not refuse one who is so blithe to go to Him.
Hereafter, in a better world than this,
I shall desire more love and knowledge of you

It just takes a different form with you guys.

Mrs. Slocombe:

From Cromwell ... Charles I actually said this before his execution ....

Is it cold?

Yes your majesty.

I had had better wear a second shirt, I wouldn't want them to think I was shivering with fear.
