If everyone's super, no one is. -Syndrome, The Incredibles
Ive always been saying a line from a movie that even I didn't remember the movie:
"We're walking... We're walking..."
I had to look it up when a friend asked what movie it was from.
"Woo-sah"
"Listen to the sounds of the machine" From Elephant's Dream, a short animated film.
I'm an engineer, and there's something almost spiritual about that line and its delivery. I think about it every time I'm debugging or trying to understand how a complex system works
"Technical fowl!" From that animated Adam Sandler movie about Hanukkah
"Certainly it hurts. The trick is to not mind that it hurts" - Lawrence of Arabia
"I know he can get the job, but can he do the job?"
"careful with the radio, it's a radio."
-Cheech from New Movie
"If I say 'I know,' I stop thinking."
Nobody has ever gotten the reference, and many don't even get it after I explain it.
(It's from Nicholas Roeg's movie Insignificance, and it's said by an Einstein expy just called The Professor, explaining why it is that he's careful to always say that he thinks that ____ or believes that ____ or that the leading theory is that ____.)
"Heineken? Pabst Blue Ribbon!"
Said it once. Never again.
