A Small Victory

Naga-...Naga-...Naganna work here anymore!

There's a guy in my office who looks sort of like Milton's distant Chinese cousin.

Hey Peter, watch out for the cornhole!

My all time favorite scene is the magazine subscription guy. "Hi, my name is Steve. I come from a rough area. I used to be addicted to crack." Occassionally I get some of these urban youths knocking at my door doing the same thing.
Imagine their surprise, when, upon going into their speil I start giggling uncontrollably. I feel bad, but it's so classic that I have to laugh.

My companies old IT guy looked and acted exactly like Milton. He got caught rubbing one out in his office. Turns out the only IT skills he had was the ability to download astounding amounts of pornography.

Michael: It's pretty brilliant. What it does is every time there's a bank transaction where interest is computed, you know, thousands a day? The computer ends up with these fractions of a cent, which it usually rounds off? What this does is takes those little remainders and puts them into an account.

Peter: This sounds familiar.

Michael: Yeah, they did it in Superman 3.

Peter: Right.

Michael: Underrated movie, actually.

I swear there, has been an Office Space character in every office I have ever worked at. Although the HR department always seems to be headed by or employs a "Catbert" type.

Excuse me, I believe you have my stapler...

The ratio of people to cake is too big.

I could set the building on fire.

Michael: You haven't even been showing up for work, and you got to keep your job.

Peter: Actually, I'm being promoted.

Caddyshack.

"Hey Moose! Rocco! Help the judge find his walllet."

"Looks good on you, though."

"Thank you very little"

Terminator (I'll be back)

I'm sure five more will come to me once I stop thinking about it...

Now that I think about it, there are too many quoteable movies.

Michele, ever think about making a top 500 movie quotes list? That'll be pretty kick ass.

That's OK, I have a new coworker named "Olaf", and it's taking all my willpower to avoid asking him if he's a berzerker.

uhh...Yyyyyyeeeeaaahhhhh...I'm going to need you to stay up late tonight and blog those TRS reports for me...ok? Yeah...and I'm going to also need you to hand over that stapler..*struggle ensues*

"Hey Olaf, Bezerker!!"

snort

No one mentioned Princess Bride yet?

I was going to until you beat me to it Tyler... you and those meddling kids.

somebody already said it, but i'll say it again - Aliens. bill paxton totally stole that movie.

heck, he even stole that one scene he had in "The Terminator"... "I think this guy's a coupla cans short of a six-pack."

Strange Brew. another quotable movie.

Bill Paxton is the only thing that made Club Dread watchable...tragic after the brilliance that was Super Troopers. Now THERE'S a quotable movie...

CANDYBARS!!!!!

Well, my favorites from college were:
Conan the Barbarian
The Crow
Spaceballs
Blazing Saddles

Office Space is great overall for me, in that it doesn't just have great lines, but visuals as well. The copier destroyer scene, the milton shots (him in the crowd after the fire!), the flair...

Woohoo, I get to be the first person to mention Caddyshack.

So I got that going for me... which is nice.

Since most of my favorites have been mentioned, how about:

Ferris Bueller (A man with priorities so far out of whack doesn't deserve such a fine automobile.)

Stripes (Son of Beech, Sheet! and No, we aren't homosexual, but we are willing to learn)

Garden State (Ooh, great job man! I really thought you were retarded. I mean, you're better than that Corky kid and he's actually retarded. If there was a retarded Oscar you would win, hands down, kick his ass! and Well, then, gimme something to chew on! Fuck, bamboo! Anything! )

Dirty Dancing (Nobody puts Baby in a corner!)

God, I love Office Space.
"They're gonna send us to a federal, pound-me-in-the-ass prison!"

The other movie my hubby and I sit around quoting is The Breakfast Club. So many one-liners...

Shut the fuck up, Donny.

Murray was a fayg.

John Wayne was a fayg. He was too you boys!

My "favorite" troll is back after a long hiatus. Welcome back, Robert. I've taken the liberty of editing out your comment.

I hope the next girl that you kiss has something terribly contagious on her lips.

You fucked it up!
Nothing is fucked here Dude.

DO YOU SEE THIS LARRY? THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FUCK A STRANGER IN THE ASS.

Calmer than you are. Calmer than you are.

Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

Brandt can't watch, though, or he has to pay a hundred.

Look, just stay away from my fucking lady friend.

You can imagine where it goes from here.
He fixes the cable?

Three thousand years of beautiful tradition, from Moses to Sandy Koufax. You're goddamn right I'm living in the fucking past.

I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

Also, dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.

A world of pain.

Nobody fucks with the jesus.

JohnL:

Humphrey Bogart NEVER said "Play it again, Sam", in the movie. Sorry, minor movie-snob rant.

"Leave the gun. Take the cannoli", though, is a classic.

Samir: No one in this country can ever pronounce my name right. It's not that hard -- Samir Na-gheen-an-a-jar. Nagheenanajar.

Michael Bolton: Yeah, well at least your name isn't Michael Bolton.

Samir: You know, there's nothing wrong with that name.

Michael Bolton: There was nothing wrong with it until I was about 12 years old and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys.

Samir: Why don't you just go by Mike instead of Michael?

Michael Bolton: No way. Why should I change? He's the one who sucks.

Then there's O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Pete: You stole from my kin!

Ulysses: ... who was fixin' to betray us.

Pete: You didn't know that at the time.
Ulysses: So I borrowed it until I did know.

Pete: That don't make no sense!

Ulysses: Pete, it's a fool that looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart.

or

Ulysses: A woman is the most fiendish instrument of torture ever devised to bedevil the days of man.

"Inconceivable."

"You use that word a lot. I do not think it means what you think it does."

"Why did you come to Casablanca Mr. Blaine? I cam for the waters. But we are in the middle of the desert! I was misinformed."

"Round up the useual suspects!"

Hey JoeB, didn't you see my preface to the quote? I.e., "if misquotes count --"??

Casablanca has to be one of the most widely misquoted movies of all time.
