I get it. That was your story. Look man, I got one of those, too. Okay, those stories that we tell to keep us going? Man, sometimes they blind us. They take us to dark places. The kind of place where I might beat the crap out of a good man, just for the fun of it. The people who love me, they pulled me back from that edge. Cole, once you touch that darkness... It never goes away. Now, the truth is... I'm past saving. I know how my story ends. It's at the edge of a blade, or the barrel of a gun. So, the question is, is that gonna be today? That gonna be that gun?
 
Television: "I'll dance with you, pet.....on the slayer's grave!

Movie: Okay...okay... you've stated you position clearly, now I'm going to state mine.....Get in the ****ing car!
 
So many favorites...

Pulp Fiction:
Paul: Hey, man, my name's Paul, and that shit's between y'all.

Jules: 'What' ain't no country I ever heard of, do they speak English in 'What'?

Jules: Oh I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?

The Wolf: Because you are a character doesn't meant the you have character.

Vincent: And you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?
Jules: They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?
Vincent: No, they got the metric system there, they wouldn't know what the frak a Quarter Pounder is.
Jules: What'd they call it?
Vincent: They call it Royale with Cheese.
 
"Of course it's happening inside your head. Why should that mean it's not real?"
 
West Wing:

CJ: What’s our problem?
TOBY: What to do when the Nina, the Pinta and the Get Me the Hell Out Of Here hit Miami.

Josh: I drink from the keg of glory, Donna. Bring me the finest muffins and bagels in all the land.

Sam
: I wasn't calling you a fool, sir. The brand new state of Georgia was.

Cochran: I'd like to speak to your supervisor.
Charile: Well, I'm Personal Aide to the President, so my supervisor's a little busy right now trying to find a back door to this place to shove you out of, but I'll let him know you'd like to lodge a complaint.

CJ
: They sent me two turkeys. The most photo-friendly of the two gets a Presidential pardon and a full life at a children's zoo. The runner-up gets eaten.
Bartlet
: If the Oscars were like that, I'd watch.

Bruno: Because I am tired of working for candidates who make me think I should be embarrassed to believe what I believe, Sam. I'm tired of getting them elected. You all need some therapy, because somebody came along and said liberal means soft on crime, soft on drugs, soft on communism, soft on defense, and we're going to tax you back to the stone age, because people shouldn't have to go to work if they don't want to. And instead of saying 'Well, excuse me, you right-wing, reactionary, xenophobic, homophobic, anti-education, anti-choice, pro-gun, Leave it to Beaver trip back to the fifties,' we cowered in the corner. And said 'Please don't hurt me.' No more. I really don't care who's right, who's wrong. We're both right. We're both wrong. Let's have two parties, huh, what do you say?

CJ: Outraged? I'm barely surprised. This is a country where women aren't allowed to drive a car. They're not allowed to be in the company of any man other than a close relative. They're required to adhere to a dress code that would make a Maryknoll nun look like Malibu Barbie. They beheaded a hundred and twenty-one people last year for robbery, rape, and drug trafficking. They have no free press, no elected government, no political parties. And the Royal Family allows the Religious Police to travel in groups of six carrying nightsticks and they freely and publicly beat women. But 'Brutus is an honorable man.' Seventeen schoolgirls were forced to burn alive because they weren't wearing the proper clothing. Am I outraged? No, Steve; no, Mark; no, Chris: that is Saudi Arabia, our partners in peace.

McNally: Let's attack.
Admiral Fitzwallace
: Who?
McNally
: Qumar. Let's recommend to the President that we attack.
Leo
: Why?
McNally
: 'Cause I've had it.
Admiral Fitzwallace
: I don't think the UN is going to let us do it for that reason.
McNally
: That's 'cause you're a sissy. You want peace in the Middle East? Give me a pair of third generation ICBM's and a compass. You get B-2 Spirit stealth bombers over Qumar right now, as if the Qumari Air Defense Sytem requires stealth capability. Just fly in at night, and while you're at it, could you order the USS Louisiana to fire off a D5 Trident just to see if it works? What's the worst that could happen?
Admiral Fitzwallace
: Is she talking to me?
McNally
: Yes!
Admiral Fitzwallace
: Well, 98% of all living organisms within a seven mile radius would die instantly in a torrent of fire.
McNally
: Admiral Sissymary...

Bartlet: In the future, if you're wondering, "Crime. Boy, I don't know" is when I decided to kick your ass.

Bartlet: Well, first of all, let's clear up a couple of things. "Unfunded mandate" is two words, not one big word. There are times when we're fifty states and there are times when we're one country, and have national needs. And the way I know this is that Florida didn't fight Germany in World War II or establish civil rights. You think states should do the governing wall-to-wall. That's a perfectly valid opinion. But your state of Florida got $12.6 billion in federal money last year - from Nebraskans, and Virginians, and New Yorkers, and Alaskans, with their Eskimo poetry. 12.6 out of a state budget of $50 billion. Now, I'm supposed to be using this time for a question, so here it is: Can we have it back, please?

Donna:
Oh my God, you're putting my mother's cats on the Supreme Court.

Josh:
I love her. I love her mind. I love her shoes.

Toby
: In a triumph of the middling, a nod to mediocrity, and with gorge rising, it gives me great nausea to announce Robert Russell — Bingo Bob, himself — as your new Vice President.
Will
: This lapdog of the mining interests is as dull as he is unremarkable...
Toby
: ...as lackluster as he is soporific.
Will
: Good.
Toby
: This reversion to the mean...
Will
: This rebuke to the exemplary...
Toby
: ...gives hope to the millions unfavored by the exceptional...
Will
: Yes.
Toby
: The Vice Presidency, being famously once described as not being worth a warm bucket of spit; let's now hock a big loogie for Bob Russell. Not the worst. Not the best. Just what we're stuck with.
Will
: Amen.

Leo
: What a waste, since the moon. My generation never got the future it was promised... Thirty-five years later, cars, air travel is exactly the same. We don't even have the Concorde anymore. Technology stopped.
Josh
: The personal computer...
Leo
: A more efficient delivery system for gossip and pornography? Where's my jet pack, my colonies on the Moon?

Really I could do a whole thread on West Wing... 😉
 
I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.

What's this from? I can't remember but it sounds so familiar
I think about my daughter now, and what she was spared. Sometimes I feel grateful. The doctor said she didn't feel a thing; went straight into a coma. Then, somewhere in that blackness, she slipped off into another deeper kind. Isn't that a beautiful way to go out, painlessly as a happy child? Trouble with dying later is you've already grown up. The damage is done, it's too late.


You see, we all got what I call a life trap - a gene deep certainty that things will be different... that you'll move to another city and meet the people that'll be the friends for the rest of your life... that you'll fall in love and be fulfilled... ****ing fulfillment... and closure, whatever the **** those two ****in' empty jars to hold this shit storm. Nothing's ever fulfilled, not until the very end. And closure - nothing is ever over.
 
When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."
- Jack Burton, Big Trouble in Little China

Everybody relax, I'm here.
- Jack Burton, Big Trouble in Little China

It's all in the reflexes.
- Jack Burton, Big Trouble in Little China

Ol' Jack always says... what the hell.
- Jack Burton, Big Trouble in Little China

Okay. You people sit tight, hold the fort and keep the home fires burning. And if we're not back by dawn... call the president.

Ah that makes sense! Been ages since I've seen it but the quote seemed so familiar, very good movie
"Bite Me."

"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes."

Vincent: "You know what the funniest thing about Europe is?"
Jules: "What?"
Vincent: "It's the little differences. I mean they got the same s**t over there that they got here, but it's just - it's just there it's a little different."
Jules: "Examples?"
Vincent: "Alright, well you can walk into a movie theater in Amsterdam and buy a beer. And I don't mean just like in no paper cup, I'm talking about a glass of beer. And in Paris, you can buy a beer at McDonald's. And you know what they call a, uh, a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?"
Jules: "They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?"
Vincent: "Nah, man, they got the metric system, they wouldn't know what the f**k a Quarter Pounder is."
Jules: "What do they call it?"
Vincent: "They call it a Royale with Cheese."
Jules: "Royale with Cheese."
Vincent: "Thats right."
Jules: "What do they call a Big Mac?"
Vincent: "A Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it Le Big Mac."
Jules: "Le Big Mac." [laughs] "What do they call a Whopper?"
Vincent: "I dunno, I didn't go into Burger King. But, you know what they put on french fries in Holland instead of ketchup?"
Jules: "What?"
Vincent: "Mayonnaise."
Jules: "Yuck!"

"Can't rain all the time."
 
Well, there are countless of course.
But two favorites that always comes to my mind when this question is asked.

"Gentlemen. You can't fight in here. This is the War Room!" - Dr. Strangelove

"Well, you have to know these things when you're a king you know." - Monty Python and The Holy Grail

/SK
 
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
 
"Some people are settling down, some people are settling and some people refuse to settle for anything less than butterflies." Sex and the City

"If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do." - Angel

"I'm just a ****ed-up girl who's lookin' for my own peace of mind; don't assign me yours." Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (and basically the whole movie) 🙂

"What's the matter colonel Sanders? Chicken?" Spaceballs (What I can't have layers?)
 
Hmm you said TV/Books but I'm gonna go ahead and add this quote from a Book that became a movie... so yeah i'm cheating oh well...

“When did you become so weak?” I don’t know. I don’t know where that strength went, I don’t remember losing it. I think that over time it got chipped away, bit by bit, by life, by the living of it.” ― Paula Hawkins, The Girl on the Train
 
"No! No, no, no. You don't just walk away from me. I made you, I'm in your blood. You don't go anywhere until I let you go!"

"Then let me go. You look at me and you don't like what you see, but this is the price, mother. The price of belonging to you."
 
"No! No, no, no. You don't just walk away from me. I made you, I'm in your blood. You don't go anywhere until I let you go!"

"Then let me go. You look at me and you don't like what you see, but this is the price, mother. The price of belonging to you."

And later: "She let me go."

And gotta love the choice of actress for the mother's lawyer. But after I saw season 6 Buffy, I always imagining the lawyer inserting a line of "don't you wish" somewhere about here:
