Does anyone else use quotes from this film? I mean in every day life.
I've sometimes said some of these:
"Don't you know it ain't right to... (then I add whatever point I'm trying to make)"
"Is that what you learned in private school?"
"Oh, God! This is fun!"
Yes, I think this is John's most quotable movie by far. But hardly anyone ever "gets" the references - though it's always sooooo nice when they do! Of course, it's all in the delivery:
"This isn't some communist day care center! Tell your mother I hate her! Tell your mother I hate you!"
"I could rip your lips off."
"What's the matter with the courts? Do they allow this lawlessness and malicious destruction of property to run rampant? I hate the Supreme Court!"
"I sleep in the next room .... naaaaaked!"
"OOh These are from Bloomingdales! I think I'll try to fit my big business into them."
Oh so many more ...
"This isn't some communist day care center!"
Yeah, that's a good one. I use that one too.
Once in a while my woman likes to have a glass of wine by herself in the evening. So sometimes I'll walk into the kitchen and she'll be there with a glass of wine. I stop, put my hands on my hips, and say, "Thirsty, Grizelda?"
Now my daughter loves calling her Grizelda as a joke.
Another time, me and my friends were skiing in Colorado and for some reason I started calling one of my friends, "Cotton" like in Pink Flamingos.
I was in the lift line and "Cotton" was in the back of the line. So I yelled at him to come join me. "Cotton, Cotton, come quick!"
Then a couple of women in the lift line yelled out to me, "John Waters... Pink Flamingos!"
I said, "Yeah".
Then in front of about 60 total strangers, me and the two ladies started yelling out in unison, "EGGS! EGGS! EGGS!"
We had a good laugh, but I can only imagine what the people in the lift line were thinking.
I have had several friends where we would have long conversations with only quotes from Waters' movies or imitating his characters. I had a waiter friend and whenever I'd order from him it would always be "I'll have TWO CHICKEN BREASTS, PLEASE!" everytime ... (Female Trouble, also immensely quotable)
