"You keep using that word. I do not think that word means what you think it means."

Largely in response to whatever the latest "evil trigger word" is. (e.g. "woke.")

Current Status (06/05/25): Estate sale prep week 1. Week 2 will be late July. I'm going to be busy all day and tired in the evenings. Posting will happen as it happens.

"Here she comes to wreck the day!" In a sing-song voice, usually while I am at work. (Liar Liar) 

"If I see something I haven't seen before, I'll throw a dollar at it." (Vampire Diaries)

"As you wish." (Princess Bride)

These are all amazing and I might have to start adding them into rotation!

Samael

"I can do this all day." usually involving something that happens at work and needing fixing.

Ich war der erste Engel
Gottes treuester Vasall
Am Anfang stand mein Hochmut und am Ende kam der Fall
Ich griff nach seinen Sternen doch Gestirne brennen heiß
Jedes Paradies hat Dornen und jede Tat hat ihren Preis

"Saltatio Mortis - Satans Fall"

"See? That was nothing. But that's how it always begins. Very small." - Egg Shen, from Big Trouble in Little China.

On rare occasions, in deep, Sauron-esque tone of voice: "Build me a sandwich worthy of Mordor!"

I love referring to things as "strange and interesting," as in the very specific phrasing of Audrey II as a "strange and interesting plant."

This movie is deeply quotable, but I say "What, like it's hard?" more often than I'll openly admit. :P 
not accepting new stories.

CopperLily

TV show, not movie, but I use "Sad little king of a sad little hill" from Firefly with some degree of frequency.

My version of this quote is from Babylon 5: "Understanding is not required, only obedience."

Nice!!! I love Labyrinth. But if I was to use a quote from that one it would be. 

"Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave."

But another one hits me hard right now. "Fear of the name only increases the fear."

I have taken the oath of the Drake

Livin in MD now.

Not taking anymore one on ones but ones already discussed with the partners.

Another one I use: "Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational [whatever]!" Was a food processor last time, when I was using it on helpless cucumbers.

Not strictly a movie line, but I've taken to saying 'What fresh hell is this?' (Most frequently associated with Dorothy Parker, and most frequently used when unboxing some piece of 'why is a sports store carrying this awkwardly constructed and impractical garment?')
"Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women.~*~*~Don't think it's all been done before
And in that endeavor, laziness will not do." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Don't think we're never gonna win this war

That's a good one. I use it too, though with different (albeit similar) applications.

"Groovy." - Ashley J. Williams. No, seriously, I use this a ton. And not just when I think something is exciting or neat, but I use it in a lot of my usernames too haha.

Velvet Kitty

"I'm sorry. I'm allergic to bullshit."

 From the very badly done I, Robot adaptation. Sneezing or walking away with while giving the one-finger salute optional. :P

My go to line from a movie - "You're killing me smalls."

I just happen to believe when anything negative happens and someone is telling you about it, this just fits. 

"Hey, ATG, I'm going to need that today instead of tomorrow." - You're killing me smalls. 

"I want a divorce..." You're killing me smalls. 

It's just the perfect sentiment for any negative situation. Don't question if I use this line on myself, because yes. Yes I do. Sometimes I am the smalls who does the killing.
