David: "I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was

         down.  I think that the problem may have been...that there was a

         Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being

         crushed by a dwarf.  Alright?  That tended to understate 

         the hugeness of the object"...........

 


Derek: Can I raise a practical question at this point?

David:   Yeah.

Derek:   We gonna do Stonehenge tomorrow?

David:   No we're not gonna ##### do Stonehenge!!!

from Importance of being earnest

 

Lady Bracknell. .................  Do you smoke?

Jack. Well, yes, I must admit I smoke.

Lady Bracknell. I am glad to hear it. A man should always have an occupation of some kind. There are far too many idle men in London as it is.

Haha my brain instantly thought........"A HANDBAG!!!"

In the blink of an eye it could all be taken away.  Be grateful always.

Here's just a few one-liners from the wonderfully trashy Italian 'Star Wars' cash-in, 'Starcrash'.

From one of the proper 'Batman' movies, before they got all silly and mopey and 'dark': "Some days you just can’t get rid of a bomb!"

 

This, Christopher Nolan, is you you shoot an action sequence! No careful lighting on the hero's fabulous cheekbones, no torrential rain, no gruff vocal delivery, no Christian Bale being all grumpy in the shadows.

You all know this one:

 

Now did the Lord say, "First thou pullest the Holy Pin. Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Hand Grenade in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

 

King Arthur: Right. One... two... five.
Galahad: Three, sir.
King Arthur: Three.

A bit of trivia from that film. The scenes at the end, where the army stands outside the castle and shouts things like "get on with it!" included a teenage lad and future best-selling author Iain Banks.

General Melchett: Are you looking forward to the big push?

 

Baldrick: No Sir I'm absolutely terrified.

 

Melchett: The healthy humour of the honest tommy. Don't worry my boy, if you should falter, remember that Captain Darling and I are behind you.

 

Blackadder: About thirty five miles behind you,
