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/

“Hey Jack, watch your cigarettes with this guy“ as Marvin is being led away by the feds at the airport.
Best line of the movie, kills me every time.
