"I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration. Communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy, to sap and impurify, all of our precious bodily fluids!"

"I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration. Communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy, to sap and impurify, all of our precious bodily fluids!"

I can't say I've used that one very often...

There you go, givin’ a f*** when it ain’t your turn to give a f***.
—Classic line from The Wire that I say to my wife weekly.

 

[jqavins]

I can't say I've used that one very often...

No, just the short version: "Precious bodily fluids".

 

[Cape Byron]

No, just the short version: "Precious bodily fluids".

Or the very short version, "Precious..."

"Gentlemen! You can't fight in here! This is the War Room!"

 

[Grog6]

I love the general; he's awesome.
The interchange between Col. Mandrake and the Army guy is likewise great. Shooting the coke machine scene is such understated, farcial dialog the british are well known for.
Peter sellers was a unicorn in human form.

Or the very short version, "Precious..."

Isn't that a different book and movie?

One I use that's probably not really memorable or profound for most people: "But you won't solve it here."

 

[Mugs914]

I can't say I've used that one very often...

Nor I, but when once handed a Russian beer by a friend, I'm proud to say I was suitably prepared...

Vashe zdorov'ye!!

This is TRF. Following the thread isn't one of the rules...

Well, we have not morphed into pick up lines yet.

 

[Cape Byron]

Well, we have not morphed into pick up lines yet.

Yet...

She turned me into a newt! Well....I got better.

[Huxter]

Nothing's difficult,
everything's a challenge,
through adversity,
to the stars,
from the last plane,
to the last bullet,
to the last minute,
to the last man,
WE FIGHT,
WE FIGHT,
WE FIGHT,
WE FIGHT,
WE FIGHT,
WE FIGHT

"There is no Dana, only Zuul."

You know you don't have to act with me, Steve. You don't have to say anything, and you don't have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and... blow.*

which became...

If you need me, just call. You know how to dial, don't you? You just put your finger in the hole and make tiny little circles.

*supposedly, Bacall put a whistle in Bogart's coffin at his funeral.

This morning, mere moments ago, my nephew stated, regarding overblown press statements about asteroids coming close to earth, the they are close in terms of... you know, space.

I told him that in terms of space the objects out in the Oort cloud are really close.

"Space is big. You have no idea how really big space is."

I don't think he noticed the reference.

In this vein:

"I do not intend to go to sleep by the light of a communist moon."

The story you're about to hear is real...
Just the facts ma'am...

Don't you mean "the virgin Connie Swail?"
