My husband and I quote Princess Bride and Monty Python all the time...("She turned me into a newt!(indignantly).........I got bettah.") "It was the salmon!"
So no particular favorite, (all from Princess Bride, I think) but we like "anybody want a peanut?" when Fezzic (sp?) was rhyming and driving Vezzini nuts.
There's also, "You keep using that word [inconceivable!]. I do not think it means what you think it means." (Inigo)
"If you don't have your health, you don't have anything."
"Sleep well and dream of large women."
"I must know." "Get used to disappointment."
"Humperdink! Humperdink! Humperdink!" "I'm not liiiisstennningg!"
"I'm not a witch. I'm your wife!"
"He's been mostly dead all day."
The whole Inigo introduction speech..."Hallo. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
"Well, nice job Westley. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning." (we say that to the dog all the time, poor mutt).
"ROUS's? I don't believe they exist."
and my favorite, for today:
"There's nothing better than a mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is sliced real thin...."I could go on and on and on and on.
Land wars in Asia, Sicilians when death is on the line. As you wish.
I'd better stop now. :D

Course there's always that scene from the West Wing (late in season one or two?) when Bartlett curses God in the church in English and Latin.
Powerful stuff.

The quote my husband and I banter around most requires some explaining. It's from Spaulding Gray's Monster in a Box. He doing a monolog involving a trip to Russia to give a speech at a showing of his film Swimming to Cambodia. He's trying to amuse some Russians with a story about how it was freezing cold the whole time he was there, so he was wearing long underwear. While was touring the Hermitage (museum) it was incredibly hot so he rolled up his shirt sleeves and pant legs. And then a security guard came and kicked him out of the museum, for impersonating royalty.
So, he tell this hilarious story to the Russians, and they all just nod and somberly say, "This could be true."
So, that's our quote: (In a Russian Accent) "This could be true."

Just in case you guys haven't watched it yet, when i'm down, and can't seem to get back up, i throw in "finding Nemo" and just listen to everything Dori (the Ellen degeneres fish) says. SO funny. and you know, "Just keep swimming " is cute advice for anyone who's ever felt depressed/suicidal. If you can just keep swimming, eventually, you'll end up on the other side of the jelly fish forest and be stronger for it. (:
thanks,

i LOVE your 'quizzes'! somehow, i find them even less challenging than the real ones, you know, for a grade... please keep them up, and i promise i'll always respond.
here's mine
#1
'are you mad?' from national lampoon's vacation, when sparky gets caught by his wife swimmming naked in the pool with christy brinkley
a few more from that show:
(chevy chase) 'awwww, he**, then we'll drive her to cousin normie's for pete sake. i just didn't want to get caught up in a funeral, an inquest and all that crap.'
(beverly d'angelo) 'you are the most self-centered, egotistical, manipulative...'
(chevy again) 'don't say anything you'll regret ellen. i'm only being practical. if we drove straight through, we'd only have 3 days at wally world best.'
and this is my favorite one ever!!
(chevy) 'i think you're all out of your minds. we're 10 hours from the <oopsie> fun park and you want to bail out. i'll tell you something, this is no longer a vacation, this is a quest. it's a quest for fun. i'm gonna have fun and you're gonna have fun. we're all gonna have so much dam* fun, it'll take plastic surgery to remove the smiles from our faces. you'll be whistling zippidy do da out of your as*es.'
death to smoochy (about a kid's show rhino)
'you better grow eyes in the back of your <oopsie> head, you horned piece of shi*, because i'm not gonna sleep until worms are crawling 0out of your foam, rubber as*. i'm going on safari mother <oopsie again>, SAFARI (then a loud animal noise)'
this one is very special to me because i first watched this movie with my sister. after i listened to that phase at least a zillion times, she started calling me, said just this quote (complete with animal noise) and then would hang up.
u-turn (if you haven't seen it, i highly recommend you do!)
(that phoenix kid, no, not river, his brother with the impossible name) 'they call me tnt 'cause when i go off, people get hurt.'
bottle rocket: i can't remember any exact quotes really (though i do remember something aobut being confident in a yellow jumpsuit) but the whole movie is too funny. same with rushmore. both are great to watch when you're feeling blue, or feeling good. (and there's this scene from bottle rocket where luke wilson's friend 'breaks' him out of the mental hospital, even though it's a voluntary stay. the doctor walks in to find him 'trying to escape' and casually reminds him of his voluntary status.)part 2
in no particular order:
10. january 13
9. watching my sister give birth. i never thought it was possible to be closer to a person than i am to my niece.
8. crying at my graduation when i looked up in the stands and saw my sister crying (she's my 'real' mommy, though she sometimes comes across as a 'drill seargant') just yesterday, she read me a paper about an emotional moment and that was it. i never knew how proud of me she was until i heard her read it.
7. spotting 2 whales mating, while on a 'whale trip' (is that what it's called? when you get on a boat to go see whales.). no wonder they call me good eyes, the captain almost missed it.
6. looking over the edge of the eifel tower (before running to the restroom and getting sick. yes, i'm terrified of heights!)
5. the first time i went to cali and knew in my heart that it's my home. perhaps someday soon i'll be moving home?
4. being asked by a comedian on stage (and the waitress) to not laugh so loud at a comedy show. (so, i cackle, at least i wasn't heckling!)
3. how i got my name and asking my mother many many MANY times how i did. (ok, i'll tell you.. she was pregnant with me and had a dream that somehow she slept through delivery. when she awoke (in her dream) she asked what happened to her baby and the nurse told her i wsa with my father. my mother demanded to see me and the nurse mentioned my dad had already named me. he named me karen kay and in the dream my mother hated that name. when she awoke form the dream, she told my father that she wanted to name me karen kay and they both loved the name (me too actually!))
2. when my sister asked (she's more dense than i am) 'is that god?' it seems she was looking at a figurine of jesus at the time, but my friend answered 'no babs, that's a doll.' (she's also known to say things like 'eggs come from cows' when my mother said 'BARBARA!!' she then said, 'ooops, i mean pigs.' she was 16 years old at the time. she once also thought that egypt was in mexico. i love her more than life, but she can be terribly dense.)
1. the way i feel after reading kid a's words.

These are in no particular order:
1) meeting the daughter I had to give up for adoption.
2) climbing the great wall.
3) going to Poland right after the iron curtain lifted
4) going to Hong Kong right before China took over.
it's starting to get hard........
5) finally finishing college (age 36) with honors
6) finally getting help for lifelong depression
7) being in the uk when my best friends first child was born.
8) having my own kiddos.
9) being sent to travel at work. I had to ask for it even though very qualified 'cause my boss didn't think women would be interested.
I'll have to think now.

10) Growing up in the late 60's, early 70's. Makes me old, but I wouldn't give up that experience for anything.

But remember, I have boys:
From Ghost Busters: "Are you a GOD?" "No..." "Then --- DIE!""
"RAY! Next time someone asks you if you are a God, say YES!"F. Bueller's Day Off: "Anyone?" "Anyone?"
Star Trek NG, Data: (singing) "Searching for life-forms, Searching for life-forms"
Star Trek IV, The Voyage Home
Kirk: "A GUESS Spock? That's extraordinary!"Mr. Scott, talking to the computer: "Computer! Hello Computer? Oh, a keyboard, how quaint!"
Star Trek II, The Wrath of Khan
"The good of the many, outweigh the good of the few...or the one""I have been, and always shall be, your friend."
Bruce Almighty: "Behind every great man there is a woman rolling her eyes."
Dustin Hoffman: (I can't remember which movie) "Some men have allergic reactions to latex condoms; it may cause severe swelling.
So what's the problem?"Happy Gilmore: "just tap it in, give it a little tappy, tap tap taparoo!"
Fugative: "It's Hinky!"
Humprey Bogart: "That's hooey!"
And finally, from those great philosopher's The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:
"Cowabunga!"

My favorite star trek line is "we are the borg; resistance is futile" - which is pretty much how I feel about depression sometimes. (-:

We are Borg. You *will* be assimilated. Resistance is futile. << I love that line myself. In fact, that's one of the lines that I use a lot with a lot of people -- although I usually say it, "Come, join us. You *will* be..." etc. Just the whole concept of the Borg fascinates me -- the whole Hive Mind thing fascinates me.
Thanks for adding it -- and it *is* a line that I've used about some issues in therapy, both Good Therapy and the Nightmare Therapy stuff recently. It does fit depression, especially for those of us who feel like aliens wherever we are, and I think there are a fair few here who have expressed that feeling. Thank you for showing us some more common ground here.

I do the land war in Asia line ALL the time. Conversations open this up so easily when people say, "You know what we should/shouldn't do?" And I always reply, "Never start a land war in Asia."
Glad I'm not the only one:)

Two of the most common ones my husband uses:
Homer tries to get Marge to be intimate by saying, "It's good for what ails you." (Doesn't work for me.)
When Lisa complains about Homer's insensitivity, he replies, "Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand."

OP,
Careful with those wishes as both Kid A and I are Simpsons savants.
Anytime anywhere any occasion.
Looks like a case of baaad babysittin' --Hibbert
How ironic. My crusade against television has come to an end so formulaic it could have spewed from the PowerBook of the laziest Hollywood hack. --SideshowBob
Go Lis! Way to cite precedent! --Bart
If you are waiting for the Hi & Lois signing, it has been moved to the Springfield Coliseum. --ComicBookGuy
Er, excuse me. No banging your head on the display case, please. It contains a very rare 'Mary Worth' in which she has advised a friend to commit suicide. Thank you. --ComicBookGuyForty seconds? But I want it now! --Homer
Yoink --Marge
That is a false analogy! --Lovejoy
No, it's not. It's apt. Apt! --LisaBounjour, you cheese-eating surrender monkeys. --Groundskeeper Willie
please this is a sickness.......at some point in my life I have to stop blurting out Simpsonisms....obviously that time hasn't come yet!

Here is the rule in my house:
"Hey, mom, you gotta come hear this!"
"What's the rule about watching the Simpsons, boys?"
"You don't care. And don't do the dialogue at Grandma's."
"Right, now go away!"

You should come to my house when all my siblings are home -- we rarely go 5 minutes without quoting the Simpsons. In fact, sometimes we have entire conversations composed entirely of Simpsons quotes. But after all these years, my mother still has to ask, "Is that from the Simpsons?" Duh! What else would we quote, Shakespeare?
"Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene.'" --Homer
"Sometimes the only way you can feel good about yourself is by making someone else look bad. And I'm tired of making other people feel good about themselves!" -- Homer
"Trying is the first step to failure." --Homer
"I've learned that life is one crushing defeat after another until you just wish Flanders was dead." --Homer
"I never apologise, Lisa. I'm sorry, but that's just the way I am." --Homer
"I'm pretty sure I can struggle my way out. First I'll just reach in and pull my legs out ... now I'll pull my arms out with my face." --Homer
"Well, kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try." --Homer
"What are you going to do, release the dogs, or the bees, or the dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you?" --Homer
"Oh boy, sleep! That's where I'm a Viking!" --Ralph Wiggum
Homer: "I'm somewhere where I don't know where I am."
Marge: "Do you see towels? If you see towels, you're probably in the linen closet again."
Homer: "No, it's a place I've never been before."
Selma: "The shower."Lionel Hutz: "Uh oh, we've drawn Judge Snyder... He's had it in for me ever since I kinda ran over his dog. "
Marge: "You did?"
Hutz: "Well, replace the word 'kinda' with the word 'repeatedly,' and the word 'dog' with the word 'son.'”
