To be part of the elite geek squad, you need to know your quotes; movie quotes, that is. Answering someone with a simple yes, a shrug, or a blunt no is just not lame enough to be considered geek. You need that extra jolt of nerdiness. In comes the movie quotes!!
If your friend knows nothing about movies - or to the least your massive obsession with movies - then expect to receive a massive dose of confusion face. Just explain. The quote loses its funny but your preparing that friend for more quote-answers!!
I use this movie quote a lot, even though Michael Emerson's character doesn't actually say the "Dr. Gordon" part. Use this quote when you want the other person to know that fairness has nothing to do with life.
Friend: "Oh my god, I got a parking ticket! That's not fair!"
Me: "It's the rules, Dr. Gordon"
"I have a feeling were not in Kansas, anymore." - Dorothy Gale (The Wizard of Oz)
Aha. This one I use whenever I'm somewhere I don't feel comfortable.
*looks out car window to find shacks and people crouched over crack pipes*
Me to friend: "I have a feeling were not in Kansas, anymore"
"May the force be with you" - Han Solo (Star Wars)
Most likely the ultimate geek quote. Use only when you want to cheer up the other person in times of stress.
Friend: "I'm so nervous, my driving exam is in an hour!"
Me: "May the force be with you!"
"I'll be back" - The Terminator (The Terminator)
Not to be confused with Stu Macher's "I'll be right back" line in Scream 1. You would use this quote in a situation where you are forced to retreat, but plan on coming back for more.
Teacher: "Sorry, you are two minutes late. I can't let you in the class"
*teacher closes door*
Me to closed door: "I'll be back"
These are my most used quotes. But there are random ones that slip their way into my vocabulary every once in a while. Such as:
- You can't handle the truth - Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men
- Afterall, tomorrow is another - Vivien Leigh in Gone With the Wind
- It's elementary, my dear Watson - Sherlock Holmes in any and all adaptations
- My precious - Andy Serkis in Lord of the Rings
What's your favourite quote-answer??
