Movie quotes

Are there any movie quotes that really stick with you? Not just the words, but the delivery, the setting, the real meaning behind it in the film?

I gotta say, one of the most memorable lines in recent memory is from Inglourious Basterds. Mostly because I recall exactly the way it's spoken, with that funky accent going on, and the expressions Brad Pitt makes when he's saying it:
Lt. Aldo Raine: My name is Lt. Aldo Raine and I'm putting together a special team, and I need me eight soldiers. Eight Jewish-American soldiers. Now, y'all might've heard rumors about the armada happening soon. Well, we'll be leaving a little earlier. We're gonna be dropped into France, dressed as civilians. And once we're in enemy territory, as a bushwhackin' guerrilla army, we're gonna be doin' one thing and one thing only... killin' Nazis. Now, I don't know about y'all, but I sure as hell didn't come down from the goddamn Smoky Mountains, cross five thousand miles of water, fight my way through half of Sicily and jump out of a ****in' air-o-plane to teach the Nazis lessons in humanity. Nazi ain't got no humanity. They're the foot soldiers of a Jew-hatin', mass murderin' maniac and they need to be dee-stroyed. That's why any and every every son of a bitch we find wearin' a Nazi uniform, they're gonna die. Now, I'm the direct descendant of the mountain man Jim Bridger. That means I got a little Injun in me. And our battle plan will be that of an Apache resistance. We will be cruel to the Germans, and through our cruelty they will know who we are. And they will find the evidence of our cruelty in the disemboweled, dismembered, and disfigured bodies of their brothers we leave behind us. And the German won't not be able to help themselves but to imagine the cruelty their brothers endured at our hands, and our boot heels, and the edge of our knives. And the German will be sickened by us, and the German will talk about us, and the German will fear us. And when the German closes their eyes at night and they're tortured by their subconscious for the evil they have done, it will be with thoughts of us they are tortured with. Sound good?
The Basterds: YES, SIR!
Lt. Aldo Raine: That's what I like to hear. But I got a word of warning for all you would-be warriors. When you join my command, you take on debit. A debit you owe me personally. Each and every man under my command owes me one hundred Nazi scalps. And I want my scalps. And all y'all will git me one hundred Nazi scalps, taken from the heads of one hundred dead Nazis. Or you will die tryin'.

The movie quote I'm most frequently reminded of comes from Shawshank Redemption:

[Quote=Brooks]The world went and got itself in a big, damn hurry all of a sudden.[/quote]

Every time I see people rushing unnecessarily, or passing me on the highway when I'm already going 75, I'm always reminded of this quote. It just reminds me to take things slow every once in a while, an always-welcome reminder.

Yep!!
This is my family. I found it, all on my own. Is little, and broken, but still good. Yeah, still good.

That look on my face? That was me realizing that those two girls in the black truck and that big guy in the snakeskin jacket were the closest thing to what I always wanted but never had - family. I trusted them and they trusted me. Rule #32. Enjoy The Little Things. Tallahassee got his Twinkie. And even though we knew life would never be simple or innocent again, as he savored that spongy yellow log of cream, we had hope. We had each other. And without other people, well you might as well be a zombie.

Wallace Wells: If you want something bad, you have to fight for it. Step up your game, Scott. Break out the L-word.
Scott Pilgrim: Lesbian?
Wallace Wells: The other L-word.
Scott Pilgrim: ...Lesbians?
Scott Pilgrim Vs The World
Everyone has an angel, a guardian who watches over us. We can't know what form they'll take. One day, old man. Next day, a little girl. But don't let appearances fool you. They can be fierce as any dragon, yet they're not here to fight our battles, but to whisper from our heart, reminding that it's us. It's every one of us who holds the power over the worlds we create. We can deny our angels exist, convince ourselves they can't be real. But they show up anyway in strange places and at strange times. They can speak through any character we can imagine. They'll shout through demons if they have to, daring us, challenging us to fight.

Okay, so, this is kind of cheating, since it's adapted from a book, but Sam's speech near the end of The Lord of the Rings, the Two Towers is just perfect for me.

The music, atmosphere, juxtaposition with other scenes gives me chills. In a good way. :)
