Quotes from movies have a way of entering our national conversations. For example, Wayne's World "We're Not Worthy" and "Swing" are forever in our national consciousness. Some quotes have extreme power and substance. I offer the following as examples: "You can't handle the truth!" A Few Good Men "One day you are riding along and the universe says 'you!'" Mothman Prophecies "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" Apocalypse Now "I'm not big on control" Ordinary People (Conrad's therapist) Others?
Boy, you got to carry that weight a long time!

Some of the greatest lines are from "The Big Lebowski": Jesus:"Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy sh*t with us, you flash your piece out on the lanes? I'll take it away from you & stick it up your a$$ & pull the f*ckin' trigger until it goes click." Dude:"Jesus." Jesus:"You said it man! Nobody f*cks with the Jesus." OR... Walter:"Do you see what happens when you f*ck a stranger in the a$$?!" Or, my all time favorite... Walter:"Lady? I've got buddies who died face down in the mud, so that you & I could enjoy this family restaurant!"
"I can't live the buttoned down life like all of you! I want it all: the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles! Sure, I might offend a few of the blue-noses with my cocky stride and musky odor - oh, I'll never be the darling of the so-called 'City Fathers' who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards, and talk about what's to be done with this Monkey_Boy?!"

Um, Fragile, unless this is also said in another movie, I think you mean CAKE. At least that's what Milton says in "Office Space".
"I can't live the buttoned down life like all of you! I want it all: the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles! Sure, I might offend a few of the blue-noses with my cocky stride and musky odor - oh, I'll never be the darling of the so-called 'City Fathers' who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards, and talk about what's to be done with this Monkey_Boy?!"
