Meme-ries...
The Lines-from-movies (and one old WB cartoon) meme, filched from MustangSally78. I don't expect many people - if any - to recognize these (and looking them up in IMDB is cheating, although effective), so if anyone does, you damn well better give me a shout-out.
(nervously) "I'm in the park when I should be working. What if someone sees me?"
(triumphantly) "Then you will have seen HIM - and what is HE doing in the park?"
"The reverend says, news travels fast around here."
"Don't drive angry."
"If this hurts, just say ouch."
(upon hearing the news that their boat is sinking:)
"Keep it to yourself."
"Oh of COURSE I'll keep it to myself...until the water reaches my lower lip and then I’m gonna mention it to SOMEBODY!"
"There's nothin'. In the. Rule. Book. That says. An elephant. Can't. Play!"
"Stone, ladies are 'unwell', gentlemen vomit."
"Passion is the enemy of precision."
"A real woman could stop you from drinking."
(snort) "Have to be a real big woman."
"Soldier, where are you stationed?"
(man impersonating a soldier, a nervous, stuttering wreck, makes up an answer):
"C-c-c-Camp S-s-s-Smum."
"Oh? Where's that?"
"S-s-s-s-Smum County."
"You KNOW you need an ass-whuppin'!"
"Sometimes, you're a man armed only with a fork in a world of soup."
"If you think you're winning games because you're getting laid, or because you're not getting laid, or because you wear women's underwear, THEN YOU ARE!"
"How do you like that - I buried the lead."
And now, only impressive because I am typing the whole thing completely from memory:
"You know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube. A well-scrubbed, hustling rube, with a little taste. Good nutrition's given you some length of bone, but you're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you Agent Starling? And that accent you've tried so desperately to shed - pure West Virginia. What does you father do, dear, is he a coal miner? Does he stink of the lamp? And oh, how quickly the boys found you, all those tedious, sticky fumblings in the backseats of cars, while you could only dream of getting out, getting anywhere! Getting all the way to the F-B-I."
You'll have to trust me on that. :)
