Your favourite lines from the film/best road movies


I grew up watching this film. Last night, I watched it again and enjoyed it so much more, because I was able to appreciate the humour and writing than when I was a teenager. Sometimes, I had to rewind a sequence more than once just because it was so funny. Hilarious film; 10/10!!

My favourite lines/moments (I would quote the whole script but that would be too long; here are some that I remember):

Eddie: "He called me, f/cking, what, ten minutes ago, yelling and screaming, telling me to go f/ck myself, you're telling me to- everybody's telling me to go f/ck myself!!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouxkn8f0Jr8

Jack: "Ten years for impersonating a fed, huh?"
Alonzo Mosely: Ten years.
Jack: How comes no one's after you?

Serrano: Who the f/ck are you?
Marvin: "What, are you writing a book? Who the f/ck are you?"
and everytime someone says, "who the f/ck are you?" https://youtu.be/YqijwrDkE-M?t=443

Marvin(when helicopter starts chasing car): "Now, who the f/ck is this?"

Jack(whilst helicopter is chasing car): "SHUT THE F/CK UP!"

Alonzo: "Remember me?"
Jack: "Agent Foster Grant!"

Marvin: "I said "no", pecker-breath. Now shut up."

Jack: "Here comes two words for you: shut the f/ck up."

Kid: "You don't look much like a criminal to me."
Duke: "I'm a white-collar criminal."

Marvin: "Why don't you quit? It'd be cheaper for both of us," and "Yeah, well watch your cigarettes with this guy, Jack!"

Every time Jack yells, "Marvin!!" and either knocks him out or dupes him.

When Jack flips Mosely's badge at the camera.

What are your favourite lines?

I've made a list of road movies, and this film is on it. It'd be nice if you guys could comment and makes suggestions for movies I have forgotten to put on it or that I need to watch: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls063030179/

Love Eddie when he said, "*beep* the bus, I want to know what happened to the goddamn plane!"

reply

"I have two words for you... shut the f*k up!!"

reply

So you're living in denial. Living in denial? I'm aware of that.

reply

Jimmy Serrano: Is this moron number one? Put moron number two on the phone.

Jimmy Serrano: Don't say a word to me, Sidney, don't say a *beep* word to me. I'll get up and I'll bury this telephone in your head.

reply

Jack??? I think this is illegal...

"As your accountant, I'd have to strongly advise against it."

"That one's bad, too?"

"Oh, I'm sure we're perfectly safe."

reply

I'm just saying ...if I WERE your accountant...

reply

Marvin: "Yeah that's right, down here! Are you gonna stand there with your thumb up your ass? or are you gonna get me the *beep* out of here!?"

reply

These things, their tooooo big.... they go dowwwwnnnnnn.....

Of course it becomes 1000X funnier later in the movie :)

reply

"I'm aware of that.."

"I must be crazy to be in a loony bin like this."

reply

Why aren't you popular with the Chicago Police Department?

reply

The movie is full of them, but my favorite lines come at the very end, when Jack calls Eddie and tells him he's letting the Duke go. I could watch that ten times in a row and still want to watch it again.

reply

Sidneyyyy relax have a cream soda.
