Favorite movie lines

No thank you, Delmar. A third of a gopher would only arouse my appetite without bedding her back down.

(For some reason my significant bother and I have adopted this line, spoken by George Clooney in O Brother Where Art Thou, whenever a situation arises where one of us is offering the other a bite of something or a small portion remnant left on a plate)
 
If those little sweethearts won't face German bullets, then by God, they'll face French ones!

There are few things more fundamentally encouraging and stimulating than seeing someone else die.

I apologize, sir, for not telling you sooner that you're a degenerate, sadistic old man. And you can go to hell before I apologize to you now or ever again!
 
You! You are still dangerous. But you can be my wingman any time.
Bullshit! You can be mine!
 
"I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a..... fraid."

"My God! It's full of stars!"


Luna: It's hard to believe that you haven't had sex for 200 years.
Miles: 204, if you count my marriage.
 
T-H-X eleven-thirty-eight will be taken into custody at a minimal monetary expenditure. Total operation cost: six thousand credits under budget. Congratulations. Be efficient, be happy.
 
Don't fight it son. Confess quickly! If you hold out too long you could jeopardise your credit rating.
 
Now listen to me, all of you. You are all condemned men. We keep you alive to serve this ship. So row well, and live.

If you're referring to the one about credit rating then, yes, he was part of the writing credits, along with Terry Gilliam, and Charles McKeown (long time Gilliam associate).

Ok, Brazil then, now I remember it. I think that particular scene is all Stoppard - he had this great way with using ridiculous juxtaposition in satire. Like the guy is being subjected to excruciating physical torture but his torturer, representing the State and its skewed reality, believes that it's a compromised credit rating that brings the agony.

(And I shouldn't use past tense with Sir Tom - still going, at 88)
 
It's fun to charter an accountant
And sail the wide accountancy,
To find, explore the funds offshore
And skirt the shoals of bankruptcy.

It can be manly in insurance.
We'll up your premium semi-annually.
It's all tax-deductible.
We're fairly incorruptible.
We're sailing on the wide accountancy
 
Guess which MP movie was banned in Norway. The posters in Sweden read, "So funny it was banned in Norway." (one of my favorite movie trivias) It's not the movie (Q) just quoted from.
