Classic Lines In No Blade of Grass


My favorite: (paraphrasing)
"Don't worry about her. She has a survival kit between her legs."

Anyone else?

when Wendy Richard asks her husband, "how come you're doing all the shooting?"
something about it made me laugh. maybe it was because he killed a few people, and no one else had the nerve to... and what a dumb question.

Being robbed of car, food, etc. at gunpoint:

"There's a pretty stiff penalty for what you're doing here."

"There's a worse penalty these days; starving to death."

Politicians talked about the problem, but in the end they did nothing. (paraphrasing)

"Nobody throws me my own guns and says run. Nobody."

When Nigel Davenport and his marauding crew blow away a middle aged couple with their shotguns, and his family moves in, he explains to his son, "It's not like before, we have to take things from other people..." (or something like) and his impressionable son says in a milquetoast English accent, "Is it just like the Wild West, Deddy?"

Narrator (at end): This motion picture is not a documentary. But it could be.

Lol, that was my favorite. Was so, wtf? Could it be possible someone thought it was a documentary? The IQ level would have to be REALLY low.

Said after the rape scene:

"The guilty don't deserve to die as quick as the innocent."

"Touch one potato and I'll give you an ass full of this!" ( swinging rifle back and forth)

This one made me laugh out loud. A couple, presumably married, sitting together in a restaurant, before all hell breaks loose ...

"George, do you know what I think caused the virus? It's 'cause them Chinese fertilize everything with human $h1t!" A pause. George doesn't answer or even react. "George, hear what I said?!"

"Yes I did. And if it's true, I could sell you to them chinks for a blooming fortune!"
