Greatest Line In Media

[DoPo]

It's like love, some people get it
for some it's just a glove that just never fitted
for me it's just a pain in the ass
but i'm addicted to the taste of hoping it could last.

Limp Bizkit, Lonely World from the album Results May Vary.

I found it funny because it came up on my play queue just two songs ago.

 

[Tortilla the Hun]

"Any man don't wanna get killed better clear on out the back."

"I don't deserve this...to die like this. I was buildng a house."

"Deserve's got nothin' to do with it."

"I'll see you in Hell, William Munny."

"Yeah."

"The thing that haunts a guy is the stuff he wasn't ordered to do."

 

[Peter Richmond]

"who do you think we are?!?!?!?!"

thats the one.

 

[Lt._nefarious]

"The Bees, they sting Juuustin..."

If you've not watched that Harry Partridge animation you should fix that...

Edit: No, wait! I change my mind best quote is:

"You're a ****, you've always been a **** and the only thing that's gonna change is you're gonna be an even bigger ****, maybe have a couple more **** kids..."

From In Bruges...

 

[Proverbial Jon]

Some of my absolute favourite lines come from the same place:

"There was once talk of a wind farm out here, away from the rage and intolerance of the masses. The sea, they said, is too rough for the turbines to stand. They clearly never came here to experience the becalming for themselves. Personally I would have supported it, turbines would be a fitting contemporary refuge for a hermit; the revolution and the permanence."

"All night the buoy has kept me lucid. I sat, when I was at the very edge of despair, when I thought I would never unlock the secret of the island, I sat at the edge and I watched the idiot buoy blink through the night. He is mute and he is retarded and he has no thought in his metal head but to blink each wave and each minute aside until the morning comes and renders him blind as well as deaf mute. In many ways we have much in common."

"What charnel house lies at the foot of this abyss? How many dead shepherds would fill this hole?"

Easy to guess if you've played it.

Max Payne is another favourite:

"The past is a gaping hole. You try to run from it, but the more you run, the deeper it grows behind you, its edges yawning at your heels."

"The past is a puzzle, like a broken mirror. As you piece it together, you cut yourself, your image keeps shifting. And you change with it. It could destroy you, drive you mad. It could set you free."

 

[Swyftstar]

For some reason this line always sticks with me when people ask to explain Granny Weatherwax.
"Things that try to look like things often do look more like things than things. Well known fact. But I don't hold with encouraging in it!"


And here's one that was actually uttered in real life.
"I come in peace. I didn't bring artillery. But I'm pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I'll kill you all."
?James Mattis

 

[LG Jargon]

Some pretty good ones in here. Damn, no really good lines really come to mind for me right now...

However, I think that some of the best lines said (in media and out) are the last words spoken by that person. For reference, I give you a little gift from Nerdfighteria:


I especially like Dylan Thomas' last words: "I've had 18 straight whiskies; I believe that's the record."

If I think of any more, I'll edit my post. I swear, there's one from Gurren Lagann I just can't think of...

 

[RADIALTHRONE1]

Bang.

Just who the hell do you think i am?

When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not our friend.

Spaaaaaaaaaace.

 

[Winthrop]

" And as for you, River, there will be a day when you will flow with blood more than water. And dead bodies will be stacked higher than the dams. And he who is dead will not be mourned as much as he who is alive." From the Nag Hammadi Library. Something about it just really grips me.

Don't need much more than that.

[Easton Dark]

It's a pretty good one.

 

[shrimpcel]

"Il faut manger pour vivre et non vivre pour manger" from Molière's "L'avare". It translates to "One should eat to live, and not live to eat".

"Fat people always lie."
You get massive Internet points if you can tell from which video game this one comes.

[Dango]

"I saw God the other day, by the river on a rainy afternoon. He helped a kitten that was left all alone. It's a God that only I can see. A black winged angel that came down from the heavens just for me."

-Mamimi, from Fooly Cooly.

Normally I'd quote Clannad, but I felt like doing something original.

 

[NinjaDeathSlap]

"NO!"

Spoken by Caesar in 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes'. Seriously, one word, one single, heartfelt, furious outburst of defiance, was all it took for me to go completely slack-jawed at the screen in wonder. There was more feeling in that one word than all the long-winded, overcooked, faux-philosophizing monologues that you usually get in movies where the writers desperately want you to love their dialogue.

I fucking love that movie.
