    I'm quoting myself just so I can mention Tsung-I Dow. He appeared in only one movie in his life. He didn't speak in it. And yet he is iconic in certain circles.

    He played Mr. Wang, no offense.

    He passed away a couple of years ago after living to 101. (View Tsung-I Dow's Obituary on Sun-Sentinel.com and share memories )

    When someone wants you to do something.

    Uh, I got to go re-primer the Jeep man.

    Actually from a Cheech and Chong comedy album I believe, but close enough.

    No one ever gets it.

    So you say that Caddyshack is a quote machine — but I could quote almost every line from another movie, and often do, that may or may not be obscure.

    Let's test it. Famous or obscure? Without Googling these quotes, let's see how quickly anyone can tell me the name of the film:

    "I have brought the brother home for dinner."

    "Hurry it up!"

    "Sit down, sit down, that's what chairs are for!"

    "Wipe your muddy boots!"

    "Wipe your feet!"
    "Sorry mum."

    "Ahh schaaaa schaa scha scha scha schaa..."

    "Do ya go fer it?"

    "Now mind ya, no petti-fingers!"

    "Ya little squint!"

    "You'll need lots and lots of manure, horse is the best!"

    "It's just a good stretch of the legs."

    "I'm fresh as a daisy!"
    "You look more like a black-eyed-Susan."
    "Here's a good stick ta beat the lady with."

    "Have the courtesy ta not hit the man until he's your husband; and entitled ta hit ya back!"

    "Well, I think yer smarter than meself!"

    "Do ya have any wet in the house?"

    "But, me throat, me throat's gone dry..."

    "Would you like a little water in your whiskey?"
    "When I drinks water, I drinks water; when I drinks whiskey, I drinks whiskey. Right now, I be drinkin' whiskey!"​

    michanes oh yeah

    I quote Heathers a lot. It was written by Daniel Waters who graduated from my high school in the same year (following another other successful writer/director from the same school, Larry Karaszewski, and preceding his brother Mark Waters of Mean Girls fame). The finest teen black comedy...ever?

    I also quote Mike Leigh's Naked (1993) quite a lot. The improv structure of all of Leigh's films, and the intense performance in an extremely bleak role by David Thewlis, makes it one of my all time favorite films.

    Standard responses among my friends when we discuss where we might go for dinner, some more obscure than others.

    "Hush puppies daddy!"
    "A diablo sandwich and a Dr. Pepper and make it fast, I'm in a G*d-d@mned hurry."
    "The In and Out Burger in North Hollywood near Radford."

    And of course ...

    "Well, there's a million more where that one came from."

    Anthony Quinn, "The Secret of Santa Vittoria."

     
  16. Oh yeah, Ren & Stimpy have contributed a few phrases to my vocabulary. In addition to the above, I still use:

    “You eeediot!”
    “joy!”
    “I’m gonna hit ya! And you’re gonna fall.”
    “(Stage whisper) call the police!

    Probably! Hard for me to just because I've used it for 30-plus years! :D

    Though to work, you have to say "maistly" like Newt does. Pronouncing it correctly is forbidden! ;)

    Oh, unquestionably - or "get away from her, you BITCH"!

    I just have seen "Aliens" so much over the last 33 years that it's hard for me to separate my knowledge of the film from what the "general public" knows.

    "Game over" is definitely not obscure. "Mostly" probably is! :)
