When the scriptwriter's awake...

I don't know if this has already been done, but sitting here watching the film'Fools Rush In', and laughing out loud at the following exchange, gave me the idea of a thread dedicated to memorable lines from films. We'll all have different ideas about what constitutes 'memorable lines'; here are my first two examples, fwiw:

'Fools Rush In':
Mother to Matthew Perry on handing him her baby; "Hold her head, hold her head!"
Matthew (looking alarmed); "Why, does it come off?"

'Ice Age 2':
Vulture Steward; "Please do not leave your children unattended - All unattended children will be eaten."

Any other examples?

hmm, one of my favorite movies is the Life of Brian : Followed by a hysterical crowd believing Brian is a messiah :

Brian: I'm not the Messiah! Will you please listen? I am not the Messiah, do you understand? Honestly!
Girl: Only the true Messiah denies His divinity.
Brian: What? Well, what sort of chance does that give me? All right! I am the Messiah!
Followers: He is! He is the Messiah!
Brian: Now, f*ck off!
[silence]
Arthur: How shall we f*ck off, O Lord?

I'm learning to speak English with this film :P

Or this :

Brian: Please, please, please listen! I've got one or two things to say.
The Crowd: Tell us! Tell us both of them!
Brian: Look, you've got it all wrong! You don't NEED to follow ME, You don't NEED to follow ANYBODY! You've got to think for your selves! You're ALL individuals!
The Crowd: Yes! We're all individuals!
Brian: You're all different!
The Crowd: Yes, we ARE all different!

I think this movie is good to introduce certain concepts to unprepared people. It starts with humour, self examination, and maybe thinking!
