A recent post in another thread got me to thinking about popular movie quotes in every day conversation.

The one posted was, "Boy, that escalated quickly." My immediate thought was that I can't remember a movie quote that became quite so commonly quoted. Then, of course, others rushed to mind. A few of my favorites:

"So, I've got that going for me...which is nice."
"These go to 11."
"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"

Yes, I know I'm showing my age.

What are some of your favorites?

"You can't take it back because it's already out there."

Caddyshack, Animal House, Ghostbusters (original), Princess Bride, Shawshank Redemption. Of more recent vintage, after a summer of binge listening to Hamilton , I find myself applying and tweaking lyrics from that on a nearly daily basis. "(blank) doesn't discriminate, between the sinners and the saints, it just takes and it takes..." "southern mother-f***** democratic republicans"

When something is fairly surprising, I use "Hey Now", from Howard Stern a fair amount, and jokingly in the office when someone apologizes for something inconsequential, I rebut by saying, YOU CAN PUT YOUR SORRYS IN A SACK! (from Seinfeld)

I'm old, and nearly no one in my office gets either reference, but at my age, I'm there to entertain myself.

I associate "Hey Now" with the Hank Kingsley.

I am one of the fortunate people insomuch that at least one movie line can be overheard from either myself or my coworkers in the office every day. More importantly, we keep things fresh, not relying too heavily on repeated usage of a single line or even a single movie.

And at home, there's no shortage of the long pronounciation of "nope" (reference to chick's avatar). Even the kids are in on it, and we don't even let them watch the show.

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Hold my beer and watch this

Get out of here you knuckleheads, I mean it

Others from movies and TV (even commercials) that I hear and/or say frequently:

"Doh!"
"Time to make the donuts"
"Bullsh*t" [coughing]
"We're on a mission from God."
"I said 'Good Day!'"
"The price is wrong, bitch."
"I'll have what she's having."
"Hello, Newman."
"I'm not dead yet."

Adding to the beer themed ones:

"Grab a brew. Don't cost nothing."

"A - Always
B - Be
C - Closing"

With an 8 and 10 yr old in the house this gets said at least every other day to the point they've started saying it. I just need to keep it up for another 7-8 years until we can watch the scene together so they can get the decade long Dad joke.

No particular order, but regular parts of my speech patterns:

"Ok, Rick. Let's get nasty."

I have plenty of used movie lines, and they are all situational. I can't think of any right now.

I do use a lot of lines from The Jerky Boys.
