[–] rptryn 17 years ago

Burt: "Burt here. Doing a little night-fishing. Got three of 'em on a cluster charge. I'd say we're about even now. Over."

Earl: "Come on Burt, this isn't a competition."

Burt: "Who's competing? I'm just saying the score's tied, that's all."

Grady: "Well son, no it isn't cause we just caught ourselves a live one, how about that?"

Burt: "A live one?!"

Grady: Well, that's just a little trade secret, happy huntin' Burt."

Didn't care much for the third movie, but there was a pretty good line in that one, too, although I don't remember who said it. Paraphrasing:

Character 1: Who's got a lighter?
Character 2: Burt's got a lighter!
Burt: (reaches for lighter, pauses) How did you know I had a lighter?
Character 2: Well, you're ... Burt!
Burt: (thinks and realizes) Yeah!

Let me just put it right for you

Burt: Armed and dangerous
Jodi: ...but do we have a lighter
Jack: Burt does
Burt: ...How do you know?
Jack: ...because your Burt
Burt: ...damn right i am

The only goof with this part is that earlier Burt used his lighter to throw a bomb at the the shriekers, just after they turned to A/B's. So surely he had to have one.

My favorite scene is from Tremors III (it contains my favorite quote from Jack Sawyer). It takes place when they are in the junkyard fighting off the last three or four creatures. They've put together the gun and Jodi asks if anyone has a lighter. Jack says "Bert does." Bert responds, "How do you know." and Jack says, "Because you're Bert."

earl: why'd he stopped??

Favorite line: anything said by Burt. Ever.

I just rewatched the scene and I always thought it was "maybe he's taking a sh!t", which in my opinion would've made it a lot funnier.

So many great lines from Tremors 2 that have already been mentioned:

Burt: "I feel I was denied critical, need-to-know, information."

"Just doing what I can with what I've got."

Earl, on finding Pedro's remains: "It's a whole new ballgame!" (said with wide eyes and terrified looking around. :)

Grady: "What the hell is that?!" (just the way he delivers this line is hilarious)

"I call dibs on the little one!" :D

Grady: "Wait a minute! Paper wraps rock!"
Burt: "Paper always wraps rock."

And, as has been said before, everything Burt says.

From Tremors 4:Back to Perfection-

Melvin Plug: C'mon Burt, what do you say?
Burt: I say I'll give you a ten-second head start...

Earl: "You smoked his a$$."

I also love Earl's paranoia, he kills me when he starts freakin' out when the Graboids start doing odd things lol, one scene that I roll at is when he and Grady come upon Pedro's truck and Earl's reaction when he see's Pedro's hands hanging on the back..."It's a new ball game! It's a whole new god*amn ball game!"

Too many from Burt to even begin mentioning lol, but this one get's me because of the mental visual that it conjurs..."I decided to return to the refinery, but enroute I find i'm in an AMBUSH situation! Must of been a couple of dozen of those things! Well I took out as many as I could with a combination small arms fire and hand to hand techniques and the ones that were left I just popped the truck into neutral and just mowed em' down."

The thought of him fighting them with hand to hand combat just kills me lol!

My favorite quote is pretty subtle, and I don't know if it's been said yet.. but early on after Burt tells Grady he lost all that money on bad deals, he meets that Spanish guy and he makes a reference about how rich he must be by saying: "The royalties on that video game alone!" Then Grady pats Burt on the back sympathetically and he shakes his head while walking off. Anyone else find that one funny?

[–] nrlang 17 years ago

My favorite quote is near the end of the film, when Burt says something close to:

"You know, Grady. People think I'm over-prepared, paranoid, maybe even a little crazy. But they've never dealt with a precambrien life form..."

[–] immortal005 16 years ago

This isn't really a favorite quote, but it I thought it was funny...

After they realize the shriekers hunt by heat which explained why they attacked the cars and radio towers...

Grady
You mean they've been acting so
smart 'cause they're so stupid?

BTW, my favorite line in Tremors 2 is the scene where Earl and Grady see Pedro has stopped his car in the distance.

Grady
He stopped!

Earl
(repeating)
He stopped!

(The two men are confused)

Grady
Maybe he's takin' a leak?

(Dissolve to later in the scene,
nothing has changed)

Earl
That's a long leak.

And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make.

We all know Burt has the best lines, he rocks.
My favorite quotes from the movie are....

One that someone mentioned before:
1. 'Doing what I can with what I've got'. I have used that one myself on occasion also.

2. When Burt's showing them all the stuff in his truck and Earl says the bit about overkill, and Burt replies 'when you need it and don't have it, you sing a different tune'.

My favorite quote in the whole movie though would have to be from Earl, when Kate asked who named the graboids. 'A guy named Walter Chang, he named them.....then they ate him'.....haha, love it.

[–] kairingler 16 years ago

i don't remember if it was the second or third one,, Burt says,, I am totally out of ammo,, that's never happened to me before,, now that one is classic.
