favorite lines from stuff...

[BShanahan14rulz]

well, i think we should have a thread where we post our favorite lines from movies, plays, books, people, anything really. so here it is!

[Gav]

Can I quote that whole scene from Shrek where Lord Farquaad is interrogating the Gingerbread Man...?

[BShanahan14rulz]

sure, there's at least one line in that, so its a valid post

[Gav]

Or how about a bit of Eddie Izzard stand-up comedy, where he portrays life for Darth Vader in the Death Star's canteen....? The pimply youth who's serving mistakes him for "Jeff Vader" (Darth Vader's brother) and doesn't even know what the Death Star is or what it does. Then there's the whole "Are you Mr Stevens?" routine as he tries to figure out who this myserterious masked and caped customer is... "I could kill catering with a thought - I could kill me with a thought!" and "Death by tray it shall be!!" are other good bits from that sketch.....

"I 've seen things you people wouldnt believe.....Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion......I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate... All those moments will be lost ...in time...like tears in rain....
"Time..to die."

[Rat]

Great quote El... I enjoyed the scene and particularly the way it was spoken. Definitely a favorite from years past.

Remember Captain Etienne Navarre in Ladyhawke?

Lyrics from songs work?


Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'? Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine! I can only imagine!

[Gav]

If we're after song lyrics, I've always like the words to Boston's "More Than A Feeling".... But I can't be bothered to type them all out now. If you're all that interested, go Google for them...

EDIT: And if a song from 1976 (I think) is a little too old for you, Lostpropets' "Last Train Home" has good lyrics too...

[Gav]

Oh, and Natasha Bedingfield, if any of you know "Unwritten":

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you can not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
But the rest is still unwritten

"We need a bigger boat"

[elguapo]

err....Jaws?

[Gav]

"Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make..." ;D

(Shrek, before anyone asks - Lord Farquaad's speach to the knights competing in the tournament to become Champion of Duloc and go off on the quest to rescue Fiona from the dragon)

[Brooke]

I sing for joy at the work of Your hands;
Forever I'll love You, forever I'll stand;
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.

Are we supposed to post the lyrics for the complete song, or just part of it...?

[jgotti]

in the imortal words of Mel Brooks "It's good to be King...." ;D

[alanm]

how about the following

everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon

that has to be a classic

cheers
