Say what?

Over at Xon's blog, we've been offering random movie quotes, and it's been quite entertaining. So, with no obvious meme out there in the past few weeks, I've taken it upon myself to offer up a handful of my favorite movie quotes and/or exchanges. And why don't Eponymous, Russ, Amber and Charles offer up their own.

And so it begins ...

A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking Jack and Coke all morning. She can make you feel high full of the single greatest commodity known to man - promise. Promise of a better day. Promise of a greater hope. Promise of a new tomorrow. This particular aura can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl. In her smile, in her soul, the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's going to be okay. The supermodels, Willy? That's all they are. Bottled promise. Scenes from a brand new day. Hope dancing in stiletto heels.

Stand up Scout, your father's passing.
— To Kill A Mockingbird


Ben Affleck: "What, you're the director now?"
Matt Damon: "Hey, shove it, 'Bounce' boy. Let's remember who talked who into doin this shit in the first place. I mean, talking me into 'Dogma' is one thing, but this is ..."
Ben Affleck: "Look, you know, I'm sorry I dragged you away from whatever gay serial killers who ride horses and like to play golf touchy feely picture you're gonna do this week."
Matt Damon: "I take it you haven't seen 'Forces of Nature'."
Ben Affleck: "You're like a child. What do I keep telling you? You gotta do the safe picture, then you do the art picture. Then sometimes you gotta do the payback picture 'cause your friend says you owe him. (both look at the camera) Then sometimes you gotta go back to the well."
Matt Damon: "Yeah, and sometimes you do 'Reindeer Games'."
Ben Affleck: "See, that's just mean."

Ron: "What cologne are you gonna go with? London Gentlemen, or-- wait. No, no, no. Hold on. Blackbeard's Delight."
Brian: "No, she gets a special cologne. It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries. Yep, it's made with bits of real panther. So you know it's good."
Ron: "It's quite pungent."
Brian: "Oh yeah."
Ron: "Ooh, it's a formidable scent. It stings the nostrils. In a good way."
Brian: "Yeah."
Ron: "Brian, I'm gonna be honest with you. That smells like pure gasoline."
— Anchorman

Believe me, Delmar, a woman is the most fiendish instrument of torture ever devised to bedevil the days of man.

Let me see if I got this. The third story on the news tonight was that someone I didn't know thirteen years ago when I wasn't president participated in a demonstration where no laws were being broken in protest of something that so many people were against, it doesn't exist anymore. Just out of curiosity, what was the fourth story?
— The American President

OMG I can't stand the pressure...

All of mine would be from The Big Lebowski, Office Space, and Napoleon Dynamite. Oh, and I can think of one or two from Super Troopers, as well. And Fight Club. Ah, I should just write a post about it... argh...

Kinda both I suppose. They are quite random, but also some of my favorite.

For instance, the quote from 'To Kill A Mockingbird' is one of my favorites, but I don't know if I'd rank the one from 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back' up there (as funny as it is).
