Erroll: Well, he don't like Colin. I mean, queers get right up his hooter, you know? Harold: After what happened this morning, you'd have to find his hooter to get up it. Erroll: Is something up with him, then? Harold: Well, let's put it this way. Apart from his as***** being about fifty yards away from his brains, and the choirboys playing "'unt the thimble" with the rest of him, he ain't too happy. Pool Attendant: To kept it all incognito. They're gonna collect the body in an ice cream van. Harold: There's a lot of dignity in that, isn't there? Going out like a raspberry ripple. Harold: Who's having a go at me? Can you think of anyone who might have an old score to settle or something? Razors: Who's big enough to take you on? Harold: Well, there were a few. Razors: Like who? Harold: Yeah, they're all dead. Harold: For more than ten years there's been peace - everyone to his own patch. We've all had it sweet. I've done every single one of you favours in the past - I've put money in all your pockets. I've treated you well, even when you was out of order, right? Well now there's been an eruption. It's like f****ing' Belfast on a bad night. One of my closest friends is lyin' out there in the freezer. And believe me, all of you, nobody goes home until I find out who done it, and why. Priceless.

Hoskins at his best, great film and music and locations

I have a couple for you:-

Carry On At Your Convenience:-

"If you'd spend more time sitting on your bum, rather than talking through it, we'd all get on a lot better!"

Kind Hearts and Coronets:-

'Dr Johnson was, as always, right when he observed "depend upon it, sir, when a man knows he's going to be hanged within a few hours, it concentrates his mind wonderfully!"'

and

Oh! Mr Porter:-

"Everything around here's either too old or don't work and you're both!"

[byebyebadman]

Dr. Watt: Oh? Whereabouts?
Det Sgt. Bung: Hereabouts.
Albert: At ten o'clock.
Det Sgt. Bung: Or thereabouts.
Constable Slobotham: In this vicinity.
Det Sgt. Bung: Or roundabouts.
Constable Slobotham: We're police officers.

Love that movie..think i will dig it out when I get home.

Other fav is one everyone will know

"Your only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!"

[christoph404]

"Beam me up Scotty"

"Play it again Sam"

"You Dirty Rat"

"Not a lot of people know that"

"Zulus.......thousands of them"

Just a few famous and often repeated one liners that were never actually said, except maybe the Zulus line.

[Third Man]

When I think of my favourite quotes or passages from films they usually end up having a ring of familiarity about them they emote some sort of common ground with myself, in a way a microcosm of personal admiration for something someone has written that I feel I can relate to.

I call it my warm fuzzy feeling...

She was the greatest of them all. You wouldn't know, you're too young. In one week she received 17,000 fan letters. Men bribed her hairdresser to get a lock of her hair. There was a maharajah who came all the way from India to beg one of her silk stockings. Later he strangled himself with it!

Max Von Mayerling

This gentleman has been standing alone against us. Now he doesn't say that the boy is not guilty, he just isn't sure. Well it's not easy to stand alone against the ridicule of others, so he gambled for support and I gave it to him. I respect his motives. The boy is probably guilty, but - eh, I want to hear more. Right now the vote is ten to two.

Juror 9

..... in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

The difference between Italy and Switzerland so succinctly and ruthlessly put into context by Orson.

Not some hapless female marvelling at the ladder of this chap by any chance?
