Expressions From TV and Film

Well, Boss, here ya go, this is from One Night in Casablanca, by the Marx Brothers--you know, Groucho, Chico, Harpo, Zeppo and Karl--and i think you'll know what it was that i picked up (this is not verbatim, so don't anyone go off to a web-site for the "correct" dialogue in order to bust me for it).

Mob Boss: "Oh, tough guy, eh?"

Chico: "Sure, Boss, i'ma plenty tough."

Mob Boss: "Oh yeah, just how tough are ya?"

Chico: "That alla depend, Boss . . . ona how mucha you pay me. You pay me a little, i'ma little tough . . . you pay me a lot, i'ma plenty tough."

Hi Phoenix --

I say this all the time at work..... from Gilda Radner on Saturday Night Live...

(imitating Rosanne Rosanna Dana's voice).....

Never Mind

Well, of course, "Faaawget 'bout it."

OK,..the one I use the most, is from the cartoon "Go-Go gophers", which if any of y'all remember was part of "The Underdog Show", it was about these two American Indian gophers who always messed up the cavalry's plans,..always very funny!
Anyway, one of the indians was the chief, and spoke in broken english, the other was crazy, and spoke in gibberish that only the chief understood. Whenever the crazy one would try to speak to speak to one of the cavalry, the chief would translate for him,...my favorite line is:

"Him say, you make-um good plan",
....you'd be surprised at how often I get to use this!

Houston, we have a problem


I use that WAY too many times in my line of work but, heck..it works.

Bookem Danno!

De Plane, De Plane


I dont know why but, every single person I know uses this...it must be some strange phenomenon with the age group

Peace and Love:
Emily Litella said "Nevermind". Roseanne Rosannadanna said "It's always something!"

From recent TV, I use Malcolm in the Middle theme song lyric: "You're NOT the boss of me"

And from old TV, Get Smart's "Sorry about that, chief" and "Would you believe..."

And from Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, "Can you say (insert word)? I knew you could."

My brother-in-law has picked up a line from Comedy Central's idiot show Crank Yankers: "I got mail, I got mail, I got mail, I got mail,
I got mail, I got mail...." I want to slap him around.

I call guys "meat" when I'm yelling in traffic (it's a release valve thing), and I'm pretty sure I picked it up from Bull Durham. Why I'd repeat anything Kevin Costner said I have no idea.

"We're gonna need a bigger boat"

Not able to use often enough but, joyous when I can

(Psst, they already used that one . . . )

ahahahahahaha

its good enough for twice

Anything and everything from "Gone With the Wind."

"Fiddle Dee Dee"
"It ain't fittin, it just ain't fittin"
"Cutest little trick in shoe leather"
"All the news - the news of Miss Suellen"
"$300... May as well be $3 million"
"I don't know nuttin bout birthin no babies!"
"eyes as blue as a bonnie blue flag"
"Just like pa? just like pa!"

Etc....etc...etc... I can't be stopped, actually. I bet people who aren't familiar with the movie think I'm a little "kooky" - but I don't mind! I just keep quoting!

Quinn,I love "We´re gonna need a bigger boat" too.
"You´re in water,shark´s in water"
And then there´s:
"And if it wasn´t for you meddling kids I´d have gotten away with it"
"Take him away Sheriff"
Scooby-Doo" nonsense.

Of course, pretty much everyone uses Homer's "Doh!" from time to time...

Ive found that most of Jaws can be used most often, its pretty funny actually

Used to think that way about Star Wars as well..lately however the "Youre a little short for a stormtrooper" doesnt go over as well as it used to

Doh works really really well

"I'm dying in here" al pacino Dog Day Afternoon
"I'm walking here" dustin hofman "Midnight Cowboy"

"Attica! Attica!"

Two great, great, great movies there, dyslex...
