I am about to get married (28 March) and one of the more "endearing" characteristics that my fiance has decided to put up with is my movie quoting. My best friend and I have been known to use one-liners to illustrate whole situations in 10 seconds or less and a few might pass her by. These can come from anything as popular as Star Wars to relative unknowns like Real Genius or Boondock Saints. For (part of) a wedding present, I am compiling a translation dictionary with my most used quotes. Simply put, it's not nearly big enough so I've decided to open up the forum and raise the maturity level as well, maybe. :) Thanks for your help.

Here are some of the best from Jurassic Park:
Henry Wu: You're implying that a group composed entirely of female animals will... breed?
Dr. Ian Malcolm: No, I'm simply saying that life, uh... finds a way.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: I'm always on the lookout for the future ex-Mrs. Malcolm.
John Hammond: I spared no expense
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs...
Dr. Ellie Sattler: Dinosaurs eat man. Woman inherits the earth...
John Hammond: I don't believe it! Hah! I don't believe it! You're supposed to come here and defend me against these characters and the only one I've got on my side is the bloodsucking lawyer!
Computer Operator: Hold on to your butts!
Muldoon: Shoot her! Shoot her!
[Just before he gets attacked by a raptor]
Muldoon: Clever girl.
Ray Arnold: Hold on to your butts.
John Hammond: I don't blame people for their mistakes, but I do ask that they pay for them.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: What is so great about discovery? It is a violent, penetrative act that scars what it explores. What you call discovery, I call the rape of the natural world.
John Hammond: Nedry, our lives are in your hands and you've got butterfingers?

Sin City - Walk down a back alley in Sin City and you are about to find anything.
I will love you always and never.
That's one fine coat you are wearing.
To look up more look at Imdb.com - They have one liners for almost every movie. Just look up the movie and you will find them.
