Commonly Quoted Movies

[Johnny Yuma]

It wouls seem that most CAPTALKERS are fans of the following film series...


4) Monty Python- Both original watchers and more youthful watchers

You haven't lived until you've seen an entire flight at an encampment chanting and the self flagelation (whacking themselves in the head with an encampment manual) while marching to chow just like the monks in The Holy Grail

Then there was the taunting other flights using the French soldier's insults.

"Your mother was a hamster..."

I don't think it is so much that we are "Fans" of any particular movie or group of movies, but certain movies create shared cultural experiences.  In CAP, the cross-generational shared cultural experience of movies like "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" are particularly valuable.  They serve as a bond between folks in the same way that the salute and some of our military traditions do.

Some other quotes:

- You ain't seen nothin' yet!

- Here's lookin' at you, Kid!

- Play it again, Sam.  (Although this line is NOT in the movie.  He is speaking to Sam, but does not use his name.)

- Round up the usual suspects.

-  Nobody ever won a war by dying for his country.  You win a war by making the other poor, dumb SOB die for HIS country.

- Gentlemen, you cannot fight in here... this is the War Room!

- Do you want us to call in the police artist?

- Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life.

I'll bet even the cadets have heard these lines at one time or another, although they probably can't name what movies they are from.  (Or... didn't know they were from movies at all!)

"But....but.....He'll see everything, he'll see the big board!"

"Just like fryin' chickens in the barnyard!"

I really need to give that movie another viewing soon.

From the BEST Movie of ALL TIME.......SpongeBob!

SpongeBob SquarePants: Take it easy, friend, I'm the manager of this establishment. Everything's gonna be just fine.
Phil: I'm really scared here, man.
SpongeBob SquarePants: You got a name?
Phil: Phil
SpongeBob SquarePants: You got a family Phil?
Phil: [can't speak, too scared]
SpongeBob SquarePants: [snapping his fingers] Come on Phil, stay with me, lets hear about that family!
Phil: I got a wife, and two beautiful children
SpongeBob SquarePants: Thats what it's all about. I want you to do me a favour Phil.
Phil: What?
SpongeBob SquarePants: Say cheese.
[Slowly places the cheese in the Krabby Patty while a sound like a heartrate monitor starts speeding up in the backround]
SpongeBob SquarePants: [after coming out of the Krusty Krab restaurant with the now smiling Phil holding a Krabby Patty with cheese] Order Up!


And......................
Old Lady: Come on kiddies, have some ice cream. I'll even let you pet Mr. Whiskers

[ThorntonOL]

Doctor?

[RRLE]

Dirty Harry

Harry Callahan: I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Magnum Force

Harry Callahan: "A man's got to know his limitations."

Lieutenant Briggs: Suppose they panic and start shooting?
Harry Callahan: Nothing wrong with shooting as long as the right people get shot!

Harry Callahan: I didn't start shooting at anyone that didn't start shooting at me first.

Sudden Impact

Harry Callahan: Go ahead, make my day.

One of my favorite lines comes from The Princess Bride:

"You keep using that word.  I do not think it means what you think it means."

That ought to be applicable to more than a few folks in CAP.

[ThorntonOL]

I know some of these have been quoted at CAP by someone, Now are all of these been quoted at a CAP event or meeting night, or has this degraded into just movie quotes?

[CadetProgramGuy]

C  a  n  t  '  t    r  e  s  i s t......

Doctor?

[Cecil DP]

Frankly My Dear, I don't give a d***

[ThorntonOL]

Where is this Doctor quote from, has it been quoted at CAP more than four or five times?

Please limit it to quotes that have become almost a tradtion in your squadron, group, wing, or encampment/bivouac.

Perhaps you need a Netflix or Blockbuster account.  Go out and see some movies and start your own traditions.

Anyway......most of the time it is Cadets repeating stupid one liners from movies.  Last year I was like "where the hell did you hear that from"?  And they were like "oh it's from Superbad". 

So here is one from "Superbad".......... "I am McLovin"

[lordmonar]

A sparrow you say?  What kind of Sparrow?

Swallow.

What do you mean?  African or European?


An my all time favorite........No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!
