What is the best line you heard in a movie?

"Good, bad, I'm the one with the shotgun." SFX: BLAM!!

Ashe to evil twin, moments before blasting him back to hell, albneit temporarily. Army of Darkness

Honestly, I'm shocked that no one mentioned this movie yet. It's chuck-a-block full of good lines.

"You thought I was beautiful once, what happened?"

"Baby, you got real ugly."


"Here, a gift for you." (Ashe's medieval girlfriend hands him a hand-woven blanket.)

"Great, I could use a good horse blanket.

"The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again.

People will most definitely come. "

Speaking of Twin Peaks ...

"Listen to me, Lucy Moran, you just listen. When the Tacoma Sperm Bank
was looking for donors, naturally I applied. It's my civic duty and I like
whales. A routine physical examination revealed that I'm sterile. Sure I
thought it meant that I didn't have to take a bath, but the doctors told me
the truth. They told me I can't have babies. So what I wanna know now is why
are you having one and how?"
