Some of the best lines in cinema history.


When "The Kid" takes his first life, and struggling with his emotions, trying to justify shooting a man at point blank while he's taking a shit: "Well I guess they had it comin"

Munny: *pauses* "We all got it comin', kid."

When Munny shoots the owner of the saloon where his dead friend was displayed outside:

Little Bill: "You're a cowardly son of a bitch! You just shot an unarmed man!"

Munny: "Well he should've armed himself, if he's gonna decorate his saloon with MY friend."

Clint was AWESOME in this movie.

Good? Bad? I'm the guy with the gun.

Alright you primitive screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my BOOMSTICK! The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?

Here's more.

That's nice, you look like a Helen. Helen, we're both in sales. Let me tell you why I suck as a sales man. Let's say I go into a guy's office, let's say he's even remotely interested in buying something. Well then I get all excited. I'm like Jojo the idiot circus boy with a pretty new pet. Now the pet is my possible sale. Hello there pretty little pet, I love you. And then I stroke it, and I pet it, and I massage it. Heehee I love it, I love my little naughty pet, you're naughty! And then I take my naughty pet and I go "CRRRRRRRRRRRR"! OOOOOOHHH! I killed it! I killed my sale! And that's when I blow it. That's when people like us have gotta forge ahead, Helen. Am I right?

Hey, I'll tell you what. You can get a good look at a butcher's ass by sticking your head up there. But, wouldn't you rather take his word for it?

Cher tearing Jack Nicholson a new one in Witches of Eastwick:

I think... no, I am positive... that you are the most unattractive man I have ever met in my entire life. You know, in the short time we've been together, you have demonstrated EVERY loathsome characteristic of the male personality and even discovered a few new ones. You are physically repulsive, intellectually retarded, you're morally reprehensible, vulgar, insensitive, selfish, stupid, you have no taste, a lousy sense of humour.. and you smell. You're not even interesting enough to make me sick.

Lots of great stuff from The Outlaw Josie Wales but this one is particularly good:

Lone Watie: [realizes Josey has snuck up behind and pulled a gun on him] They said a man could get rich on reward money if he could kill you.

Josey Wales: Seems like you was looking to gain some money here.

Lone Watie: Actually, I was looking to gain an edge. I thought you might be someone who would sneak up behind me with a gun.

Josey Wales: Where’d you ever get an idea like that? Besides it ain’t supposed to be easy to sneak up behind an Indian

Lone Watie: I’m an Indian, all right; but here in the nation they call us the “civilized tribe”. They call us “civilized” because we’re easy to sneak up on. White men have been sneaking up on us for years.

Tons of great ones from The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, especially Tuco:

“When you have to shoot, shoot; don’t talk.”

"What did he say?"
"The sheriff is near!"
