I hope this thread doesn't exist already even though it probaly does. But anyways, my favorite quote is from Pulp Fiction. And it's not really a quote, its just every conversation that Jules and Vincent had together. But if I were to pick a certain line it would have to be "They call it a Royale with cheese."
Pulp Fiction (1994)
Jules: Normally, both your asses would be dead as fucking fried chicken, but you happen to pull this shit while I'm in a transitional period so I don't wanna kill you, I wanna help you. But I can't give you this case, it don't belong to me. Besides, I've already been through too much shit this morning over this case to hand it over to your dumb ass.
"I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem may have been that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf! Alright? That tended to understate the hugeness of the object!"

This changes for me each time it is asked, as I remember certain films and those captivating moments of dialogue that are unforgettable. This one, though, is not so much a quote, but an expression. Who can forge Meg Ryan's "faked O" in When Harry Met Sally. Then again, Ryan's jaw-dropping performance would lose some of its power without the dear soul in a nearby booth that says to the waitress, "I'll have what she is having!" (By the way, I can't remember that actor's name though she was Mrs. Mitchell in "Denis the Menace" with Waltar Mathau.
Boy, you got to carry that weight a long time!

The actress in the diner scene was none other than director Rob Reiner's mom, Estelle. In the theatre, that scene does usually draw extremely loud roars of laughter.
Joan Plowright (Mrs. Laurence Olivier) played Mrs. Mitchell in Dennis the Menace.

at the moment, reference my donnie darko signature.
also, i saw romance and cigarettes this weekend, and was really struck by gandolfinis delivery of "just living til you die is hard work", which i think might be a Bukowski reference but i cant be sure, and i just don't have the energy to make research right now.
if the sky were to open up there would be no rule, no law. only you and your memories.
