Quotables

{image found here}

I was at the nail salon today getting a much needed pedicure with a girlfriend, chatting merrily away, oblivious to those on either side of us. I was telling her about how I finally wore down talked Nate into letting me hire Merry Maids to clean the house every other week. To which she naturally replied, in complete mock jealousy: Boo, you whore!

At which point we suddenly became aware of the lady to my right - who literally clucked her tongue and shook her head in dismay.

Clearly, she has never seen Mean Girls. Poor thing.

Which got me thinking about all the movie lines I quote on a daily basis, without even thinking about it.

Gopher hole! - Homeward Bound
That's gonna leave a mark. - Tommy Boy
Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth? - Rush Hour
What we've got here is a failure to communicate. - Cool Hand Luke
There's no crying in baseball. - A League of Their Own
This one time, at band camp... - American Pie
I'm gonna run a train on some chicken wings. - Role Models
Missed it by that much. - Get Smart

and of course,

Boo, you whore! - Mean Girls

I'm sure there are tons that I am forgetting because I know I do this all the time without even thinking about it. And that's not even counting all the TELEVISION show lines! That's a whole other post worth.

What movie quotes do use on a daily basis? Do tell!

"A touch of the ra-tard" from Hangover.

We've been using this for months.

haha Tommy Boy is ripe with good ones! Without fail, everytime I knock on a door, I silently (and sometimed outloud!) say, "Haus-kee-ping, you want meent for peee-low??" accent and all!

Katie said...

or how about "WHAT'D YOU DO?" hhhaahahhahahaha

or "I think your brain has a thick candy shell..."

"Listen up, you little spaziods. I know where you live and I've seen where you sleep..." (there's more but that's the part I like to quote)

"two, four, niner..." (used with any number I don't know...i just throw a 'niner' in there for kicks and giggles)

"That was....awesome!"

"are you talking?" or "shut up, Richard" (depending on if I'm the know-it-all or the moron in a particular conversation...)

I'm dying to use this one but never will! Haha but it makes me think twice before asking if I look fat in something... "Does this suit make me look fat?" "No, your face does." horrible, but hilarious!

"Hi, I'm earth. Have we met?"

Dad - I say 'Geez I'm an idiot' all the time - totally forgot that came from Tommy Boy. Man, I love that movie!

Katie - Your TB list is awesome. I almost put the Housekeeping one on my list but I mostly just say it to myself in my head! HA!

Mom - I laughed out loud in the closet when I read your line this morning! I need to put that one in my rotation. So many times I could use that one!

Jennifer - I LOVE The Hangover. Such a freaking hilarious movie!
