Nigel: ...the numbers all go to eleven. Look...right across the board.

Marty: Ahh...oh, I see....

Nigel: Eleven...eleven...eleven....

Marty: And most of these amps go up to ten.

Nigel: Exactly.

Marty: Does that mean it's...louder? Is it any louder?

Nigel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it?

Nigel: ...One louder.

Marty: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?

Nigel: These go to eleven.

A couple immediately come to mind............

Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction:

"He's deader than fried chicken"

Robert Duvall in Apocalypse Now:

"You smell that? Do you smell that?...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know, that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like - victory. Some day, this war's gonna end."

From the Return of the Pink Panther:

Inspector Dreyfus: Don't you know the blind man was a look-out for the gang?

Clouseau: How can a blind man be a look-out?

Dreyfus: How can an idiot be a policeman?

Clouseau: Simple. All he has to do is enlist...

Also from the same, after a bomb goes off in Clouseau's apartment:

Clouseau: Poor Kato...it nearly blew his little yellow skin off...

Two of my favorite lines:

This first one is a classic, and was used in a very old Hallmark Hall of Fame movie in which the ghost of a writer is trying to help out a living writer to get rid of his writer's block. They had been discussing the critics' opinions of the morality of the dead writer when the ghost says:

"Immorality is the morality of those who are having a better time."

You gotta love a line like that!! It outta be on t-shirts!! 9.gif

My other favorite has already been mentioned: From Band of Brothers... CPT Richard Winters to a LT who has just told him that the Germans are about to cut off Bastogne from the south, leaving the 101st surrounded:

"We're paratroopers, Lieutenant...WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE SURROUNDED!"

Only paratroopers REALLY understand THAT ONE! How true! The nature of the beast!

1/509th PIB, 73-76 & 90-92

But my favorite line of all time was never in a movie...but SHOULD HAVE BEEN! One of my old Airborne enlisted buddies stood up on a chair in a bar and hollered out:

"By Gawd...It takes a BIG MAN to whip ME!!"...and as some big drunks headed toward our table, he continued..."BUT, it doesn't take him LONG!"

That line got us free drinks from those laughing big drunks the rest of the nite!! 2.gif

My favorite motto? Well, when I went through Infantry Officer Basic Course at FT Benning, the platoon I was in was composed of all the oldest guys in the training company...we were all OCS graduates and the other platoons were mostly West Pointers, Citadel grads, and Virginia Military Institute grads. They all had these "high-speed" platoon mottos...and whenever the platoons were called to attention, we had to blurt out these mottos. Well...we all got together in the "old fart" platoon and came up with an appropriate motto:

"We don't care, we don't try, we're just here for TDY!"

Funny thing is...all of our collective experience as former NCO's allowed us to take the top award in EVERY CATEGORY, including the PT test scores...for the duration of the training! And our motto, although initially an embarrassment to our platoon trainer(who was on his last cycle before retiring)...was even yelled out by HIM when we graduated as the top platoon of the battalion...the first time a platoon he had trained ever got that award!! 2.gif

From "The Ballad of Cable Hogue"

Cable (Jason Robards) is telling the Preacher what he's going to do to the "friends" who left him to die in the desert.

Preacher: "Remember, 'Vengeance is Mine, saith the Lord."

Cable: "That's fine by me, as long as He don't take too long, and I can watch!"

Plus all those lines from "Casablanca."
