My Favorite Line from Out To Sea



I enjoy this movie..Okay not a great film (in many opinion) but I laugh out loud everytime i watch
My favorite line from Out To Sea..When Walter Matthau goes up to Elaine Strich and refers to her as'Ma"..Stritch replies in her own kirt,quip manner,(as only Stritch can)..."dont overshoot the runway" & of course she gave Matthau a look that kill... hillarious..and of course she was wearing that oversized fringed pancake hat..Love it Love her, Love the film
I am a lover of film would like to share my views with others!

Best line for me is when they are taking lessons on the deck and they are all standing behind the lady shaking her rear and Donald O'Connor goes "I used to have an ass like that." Because he truely did. RIP MR O'CONNOR!!

two words: brazilian creep!!!!

reply

I got one lined up, rich, Texas rich with an ass so beautiful it's a shame she has to sit down on it! LMAO

reply

How about...

when the women are aboard the hydroplane with the Mexican pilot.

MAVIS: -Which of the Wright Brothers you bought this thing from?
PILOT: -Probably the same one you dated in High School!!!

reply

That is a GREAT line! It scared my wife when I laughed at it.

I also love this one: (about 1:30 into the movie)

[Herb to Gil Godwyn while in the lifeboat] Listen to me, you sniveling little brown-nose. I have lived for 71 years, I've fought a war, I've buried my wife and I've survived 48 white sales at Gimble's. So if you think a little fop like you is gonna stop me, you've got another think coming!

all good ones listed....mine was "you better tell him mister, this man's got a black belt in sum flung dung, or one of them things....." lmao. I also loved some of the ones he said while the credits rolled, like "this man's got a martial arts thing, in black belt schmear" lol

reply

I've watched this movie a hundred times and I ALWAYS laugh at when Elaine Stritch goes, "Listen! I've been on a plane for 3 hours and in a taxi cab for an hour and a half. I need to take a crap-and-a-nap, and I don't need an audience!" I LOVE that and swear that one day I will use it in real life.

Too many hilarious one-liners.

Here are some, to refresh everyone's memory:

-CHARLIE: Today it's the 16th.
-HERB: What??!! That's imposible!!
-CHARLIE: Why? That's how it works. First, you get the 15th., then you get the 16th., and right after comes the 17th.

-CHARLIE: Relax, will ya??!! I mean, the doors are closed, it's not like we're gonna be stopping on 34th. Street to pick up passengers!!

-HERB: Of course, because you're looking for a meaningful relationship.
-CHARLIE: Why's that?
-HERB: You've never had ONE in your whole life!!

-HERB: All I was, was just a clerk at Gimbel's.
-CHARLIE: And Secretariat was just a horse!! Go on, ask her to dance.
-HERB: I can't. It's too late.
-CHARLIE: There's no such thing as too late; that's why they invented Death!!!

-CHARLIE: Hi, I'm Charles Gordon. I'm single and looking.
-LIZ: Hi, I'm Liz. I'm single, and I AIN'T looking, but thanks for the drink refill, anyway.

-HERB: You call this dancing??!! That's what we used to do in line at the A&P!!
-MAC: (looking at the dance instructor's butt) Well, the view is right!!

And many more.

All great lines, but my all-time favorite:
"You son of a bitch, YOU'RE the one who should be payin'!" (It's just the way Jack Lemmon delivers that line).

reply

I use this line too. Mr Carsmell? Please hold for Mr Trrrrrump.
One of my favorites is when Hal Linden and Donald are describing Gil. Pity you got Gil for your first run. He's a friggin' nazi. A complete megalomaniac. Not a nice man. But the best scene in the film is the Brazilian Creep. Of course in Brazil it's just called The Creep.
Walter and Jack we miss you!

reply

And the answer to that dissertation from Elaine Stritch: when Walter Matthau says:
SOUNDS LIKE A PARTY WE CAN MISS!!

And one of my personal faves: when he is passing for a French operator and speaks in faux French accent:
THIS IS THE INTERNATIONAL OPERATEUR, I HAVE MOMENTARILY LOST YOUR CONGESTION, PLEASE HOLD FOR MR. TA-RUMP!!

reply

heh heh.^^

Cullen:This is Cullen Carswell.I'll take my call now.
Lady:One moment sir.
French wacko:Ellooooo,Meesta Cahshmell,ello??
Cullen:Hello?Who is this?
French wacko:Dish ish de Inyteeernasheeunull Opperaturre,I hef mom-ENT-errilee lost your conjestjun.Pleez 'old for Messta Ta-RUMP.
Cullen:Yes,Yes,I'll hold.But please hurry.
...
French wacko:Ah you holdeeng,sirrrr??
Cullen:Yes,yes,I'm holding!
...
French wacko:Dish ish Meesta Caaahsh-SMELL??
Cullen:Cars-WELL.
French wacko:Yes,pleez 'old.Don go 'weeey.

"Hey,Cos,do something!Call me a Cab!"
"Okay,you're a cab."

reply

I got my husband to promise to do the Brazilian Creep with me on the dance floor on our next cruise. Basically, I just lay back at the waist and get dragged across the floor. ;op

Of course, if we're in Brazil, it will just be called "Creep". ;op

reply

Did you know an archeologist in Rickjavick claims the incans actually did a form of the hustle?

reply

this only one of many of my favorite lines from the movie.

Listen, I'm not authorized to throw your ass over board, but I will!

reply

"I'm gonna go get a brownie."

Oh god I agree this one was truly funny haha

"There are sharks big enough to eat you whole!"
"Eat my what?"


"Just because I'm moody, doesn't mean you're not irritating!"

reply

I liked when Liz said "Oh ma, for the love of Pete" and then Charlie said "Whose Pete, my competition?" and Mavis said "That's right."

reply

The Brazilian Creep part had me crying with laughter, it was just so funny. Lemmon, watching Spiner do his opening act, 'What did his parents do to him?" and 'His father must have been the entertainment director on the Bismark" Also, Brent Spiner's comment to Matthau,"Well, if it isn't the phantom of the ballroom". this was a great movie.
"There is nothing in my dish but my dish!" James Cocoa-"Murder by Death"

reply

While Lemmon is steaming his trousers Matthau takes the opportunity to describe Ms. Cannon's backside as being so beautiful it is a shame she has to sit on it.

In the trailer there is a scene not in the movie where Matthau asks for a line of credit of $10,000, a corned beef sandwich and a cream soda.

I wish this had a Special Edition with more scenes. I would have liked more of Donald O'Conner and Hal Linden.

"Is this Mr. Car smell?" I was rolling on the floor because I love Inspector Clouseau so much!

So much time and so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it.

reply

Yeah the part where Matthau is pretending to be the operator is funny....


Push the button, Max!

reply

Ma- "I saw you looking at my daughter's chest..."
Charlie- "I used to be a cardiologist."


Charlie-"Her exact words were.......I don't remember offhand..."




you watched it, you can’t unwatch it

reply

Walter Matthau relaying a message to Brent Spiner: "She wants to see you ASPCA -- I mean ASAP."
In case you don't get it, ASPCA is American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Love Elaine Stritch's line when their in the sea plane We have ourselves a FUNNY pilot. It just cracks me up.

reply

Matthau was amazing; reading his one liners on message boards NEVER fails to crack me up, even now!
