Circle of Friends (1995)

Benny: I don't care what the priests say. I think we should do as we feel.

Benny: He could have anyone at all. Why would he look at me?

Jack: I'm really, really, really gay.

Benny: Have...have you ever gone all the way with a girl?
Jack: No. Not quite.
Benny: Would you like to?
Jack: Now?
Benny: No. It wasn't an invitation - just a request for information.

Jack: You really know who you are, don't you?
Benny: Of course I do.

Benny: I could love you again, but I don't think I want to.

Clueless (1995)

Cher: Isn't my house classic? The columns date all the way back to 1972.

Cher: He does dress better than I do, what would I bring to the relationship?

Cher: Would you look at that body language? Legs crossed towards each other. That is an unequivocal sex invite.

Murray: You jeepin behind my back?
Dionne: Jeepin! Jeepin!? NO! But SPEAKING of vehicular sex, how do you explain this cheap, K-mart hair extension that I found the back seat of your car?
Murray: Look, I don't know, but that looks like one of those stringy-looking something-or-others you got up in your hair.
Dionne: I do NOT wear polyester hair, OK? Unlike some people I know, like Shawana!

Mel: Do you know what time it is?
Cher: A watch doesn't really go with this outfit, daddy.
Mel: Be home in 20 minutes!
Cher: But daddy...
Mel: Everywhere in L.A. takes 20 minutes!

Mel: What's with you, kid? You think the death of Sammy Davis left an opening in the Rat Pack?

Amber: Was I the only one listening? I thought it reeked.

Cher: No I believe that's your designer imposter perfume.

Christian: Do you like Billie Holiday?
Cher: I love him!

Josh: You look like Pippi Longstocking.
Cher: Well you look like Forrest Gump. Who's Pippi Longstocking?
Josh: Someone Mel Gibson never played.

Cher: Sometimes you have to show a little skin. This reminds boys of being naked, and then they think of sex!

Cher: Anything you can do to draw attention to your mouth is good.

Josh: We might get Marky Mark to plant a celebrity tree.
Cher: Oh how fabulous. Getting Marky Mark to take time from his busy pants dropping schedule to plant trees.

Cher: You can't be the absolute final word on driver's licenses?
Driving Instructor: Girlie, as far as you're concerned, I am the messiah of the DMV.

Cher: That's Ren and Stimpy. They're way existential.

Cher: Ms. Stoger! That machine is a lawsuit waiting to happen!
Ms. Stoger: Thank you for the legal advice.

Amber: She could be a farmer in those clothes!

Cher: Until mankind is peaceful enough not to have violence on the news, there's no point in taking it out of shows that need it for entertainment value!

Cher: Okay, so you're probably going, "Is this a Noxzema commercial or what?" But actually, I have a way normal life!

Cher: Shopping with Dr. Seuss again?
Dionne: Well at least I wouldn't skin a collie for my back pack!
Cher: It's faux!{

Heather: It's just like Hamlet said, "To thine own self be true."
Cher: Hamlet didn't say that.
Heather: I think I remember Hamlet accurately.
Cher: Well, I remember Mel Gibson accurately, and he didn't say that. That Polonius guy did.

Cher: Christian said he'd call tomorrow, but in boy time that meant Thursday.

Cher: Dionne and her boyfriend Murray are in this dramatic relationship. I think they've seen that Ike and Tina Turner movie too many times.

Mr. Hall: So does anyone have any final thoughts on Cher's oration? Elton?
Elton: Yeah. I can't find my Cranberries CD. I gotta go to the quad before anyone snags it.

Dionne: Cher's saving herself for Luke Perry.

Cher seeking a match for her teacher: There was a major babe drought at my school. The evil trolls from the math department were actually married and in the grand tradition of P.E. teachers, Ms. Stoger seemed to be same-sex oriented.

Travis: I would like to say this. Tardiness is not something you can do on your own. Many, many people contributed to my tardiness. I would like to thank my parents for never giving me a ride to school, the LA city bus driver who took a chance on an unknown kid and last but not least, the wonderful crew from McDonalds who spend hours making those egg McMuffins without which I'd never be tardy.

Cher: I feel like such a heifer. I had two bowls of Special K, 3 pieces of turkey bacon, a handful of popcorn, 4 peanut butter M&M's and like 5 pieces of licorice.

Cher: D, when your allergies act up, take out your nose ring!

Travis: I joined this program and there's steps. There's... uh...
Cher: Twelve?
Travis: Yeah, how'd you know?
Cher: Lucky guess.

Tai: Why should I listen to you, anyway? You're a virgin who can't drive.

Cher: That was way harsh, Tai.

Cher: Would you say I'm selfish?
Dionne: No, not to your face.

Mel: So, what did you do in school today?
Cher: Well, I broke in my purple clogs.

Cher: Are you talking about drugs?
Tai: Yeah.

Cher: Tai, how old are you?
Tai: I'll be 16 in May.
Cher: My birthday is in April and as someone older, can I please give you some advice? It is one thing to spark up a doobie and get laced at parties, but it is quite another to be fried all day.

Tai: Cher, I don't want to do this anymore. And my buns feel nothin' like steel.

Cher: I want to do something for humanity.
Josh: How about sterilization?

Murray: Woman, lend me fi' dollas.

Dionne: Murray, I have asked you repeatedly not to call me "woman".
Murray: Excuse me, "Ms. Dionne".
Dionne: Thank you.

Murray: My street slang is an increasingly valid form of expression. Most of the feminine pronouns do have mocking, but not necessarily in misogynistic undertones.

Mel: What the hell is that?
Cher: A dress.
Mel: Says who?
Cher: Calvin Klein.

Dionne: Cher, did you write that?
Cher: Duh! It's like a totally famous quote!
Dionne: From where?
Cher: Cliff's Notes.

Cher: So like, right now for example. The Haitians need to come to America. But some people are all, "What about the strain on our resources?" Well it's like when I had this garden party for my father's birthday. I put R.S.V.P. cause it was a sitdown dinner. But some people came that like did not R.S.V.P. I was totally buggin'. I had to haul a** to the kitchen, redistribute the food, and squish in extra place settings. But by the end of the day it was, like, the more the merrier. And so if the government could just get to the kitchen and rearrange some things we could certainly party with the Haitians. And in conclusion may I please remind you it does not say R.S.V.P. on the Statue of Liberty! Thank you very much.

Cher: Do you prefer "fashion victim" or "ensembly challenged"?

Cher: Dionne and I were both named after famous singers of the past, who now do infomercials.

Cher: Searching for a boy in high school is like searching for meaning in a Pauly Shore movie.

Josh: You want to practice parking?
Cher: What's the point? Everywhere you go has valet.

Dionne: Dude what's the matter? Are you suffering from buyer's remorse?
Cher: Oh God! Nothing like that!

Cher: Daddy's a litigator. That's the scariest type of lawyer. Even Lucy our maid is terrified of him. And daddy's so good he gets $500 to argue with people. But he argues with me for free because I'm his daughter.

Tai: I could really use some sort of herbal refreshment.
Dionne: Oh, well we do lunch in ten minutes. We don't have any tea, but we have Coke and stuff.
Tai: No s***! You guys got coke here?
Dionne: Well, yeah.
Cher: Yeah, this is America.

Tai: Cher, you're a virgin?
Cher: You say that like it's a bad thing.

Mel: You mean to tell me that you argued your way from a C+ to an A-?
Cher: Totally based on my powers of persuasion. You proud?
Mel: Honey, I couldn't be happier than if they were based on real grades.

Amber: Ms. Stoeger, my plastic surgeon doesn't want me doing any activity where balls fly at my nose.
Dionne: Well, there goes your social life.

Cher: I was surfing the crimson wave. I had to haul a** to the ladies'.

Murray: Your man Christian is a cake boy.
Cher and Dionne: What?
Murray: He's a disco dancin', Oscar Wilde readin', Streisand ticket holdin' friend of Dorothy, know what I'm sayin'?

Dionne: Hello? There was a stop sign back there.
Cher: I totally paused.

Cher: Thank you Josh, I so need lessons from you on how to be cool. Tell me that part about Kenny G again.
Josh: Hey, James Bond, in America we drive on the right side of the road.

Mel: Anything happens to my daughter, I got a .45 and a shovel, I doubt anybody would miss you.

[About keeping her virginity.]
Cher: You see how picky I am about my shoes and they only go on my feet.

Cher: If it's a concussion, you have to keep her conscious, okay? Ask her questions.
Elton: What's seven times seven?
Cher: Stuff she knows!

Josh: You know, if I ever saw you do something that wasn't ninety percent selfish, I'd die of shock.
Cher: Oh, that'd be reason enough for me.

Cher: Looks like we're gonna have to make a cameo at the Val party.

Tai: Hey, did you see that?
Cher: Ugh. Skateboards. That is so five years ago.

Cher: It's like that book I read in the 9th grade that said "'tis a far far better thing doing stuff for other people."

Cher: So okay, I don't want to be a traitor to my generation and all but I don't get how guys dress today. I mean, come on, it looks like they just fell out of bed and put on some baggy pants and take their greasy hair - ew - and cover it up with a backwards cap and we're supposed to swoon? I don't think so!

Cher: I am totally butt crazy in love with Josh.

The Color Purple (1985)

Shug: I think it pisses God off when you walk by the color purple in a field and don't notice it.

Harpo: Who this, Pa? Who this?
Albert: The woman that was supposed to be your mammy.

Commando (1985)

Matrix: I'll be back, Bennett!

Matrix: You're a funny guy, Sully, I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last.

[After killing a man in the plane]
Matrix: Don't disturb my friend; he's dead tired.

Matrix: Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last?
Sully: That's right, Matrix. You did!
Matrix: I lied.

Matrix: I eat Green Berets for breakfast.

Matrix: Don't break radio silence until they see me.
Cindy: How will I know?
Matrix: Because all f***ing hell is going to break loose.

Soldier: Slitting a little girl's throat is like cutting warm butter.
Bennett: Put the knife away and shut your mouth.

[Matrix has thrown a pipe through Bennett]
Matrix: Let off some steam, Bennett.

The Cutting Edge (1992)

[After discovering the alarm didn't go off'
Doug: I'm just about 4 hours late, here, Rita.
Gita: Rita?
Doug: I don't believe this.
Gita: Rita?
Doug: Lita?
Gita: Lita?
Doug: Anita?
Gita: Namen Gina. Gita! [She throws a shoe at him as he rushes out the door.]

Rick: I want to see you're a** in the air!
Kate: Until Hercules here learns how to lock his grip, this will have to do.
[Kate moons him as she skates away.]

Kate's Father: Where are you going?
Kate: I'll be in my cell.

[After they collide & Doug knocks Kate down]
Doug: Is that the way to the ice?
Kate: Is that all you have to say?
Doug: Honey, where I'm from, we stand for the National Anthem.

Kate: What he needs is a ride to the airport. I've got laundry that can skate better than that.

Kate's Father: What about Spindler?
Pamchenko: Spindler say before he skate with her he wear garlic from neck and sleep with cross.

Pamchenko: She is tremendous skater. But always becoming the big "B." What a b****!

Pamchenko: I am at bottom of barrel.
Kate's Father: Then you find another barrel.

Pamchenko: Here, you try.
Doug: Those are figure skates, pal.

[On seeing the house]
Doug: Woah. I shoulda held out for more.

Kate: Oh. You're that hockey player.

Doug: Hey, I'm sorry, buddy. I wouldn't wish this on a snake.

Pamchenko: Pairs mean 2.

Doug: What's the deal with these claws up front?
Pamchenko: Is toe pick.

[Repeated line]
Kate: Toe pick.

Pamcheko: Is enough.
Kate: I told you this wouldn't work... Would you put me down?!
[Doug drops her. She lands on her bottom.]
Kate: You, cretin!
Doug: I guess that move needs some work

Doug: If we're gonna work together, you might try and be polite.
Kate: You're not going to be here long enough to make it worth the effort.
Doug: What? You don't think that I can put up with your s***?
Kate: I don't think you can skate.
Doug: There's only 2 things I do really well, and skating's the other one.

Doug: So, what do you do for fun - polish your knife collection?
Kate: If you're so bored, why don't you read?
Doug: You mean like a book?
Kate: That is the generally accepted format, yes.

Doug: You can bet your tights I never thought I'd be working in a freak show like this...

Doug: Life of the party, huh? Place must be crawling with guys.
Kate: As a matter of fact, I do have a boyfriend.
Doug: Well there's a rough gig. What do you do, keep him chained up in the basement?
Kate: Hale, at the moment, is working in my father's London office. He's an MBA - Harvard - you may have heard of it. They do have a hockey team.
Doug: He must be very smart... I bet you look pretty good from a few thousand miles away.

Kate: Just who the hell do you think you are?
Doug: I know exactly who I am, sweetheart, I'm a guy who came a long way for lunch.
Kate: Oh, well, please don't let me keep you from the trough.

Kate: It's not like his nose if perfect... He's the one who wanted to play. He's like those morons who go around insisting that you punch them in the stomach as hard as you can... I don't know why I'm explaining this to you, anyway. All I did is play his stupid game. Next thing you know, you'll be telling me how guilty I sound.
Pamchenko: Is not guilt.
Kate: At least we agree on that.
Pamchenko: Is fear.
Kate: What?
Pamchenko: Because finally you have found yourself a partner.
Kate: You've got to be kidding me. What do I have to be afraid of?

[Preparing to lift Kate.]
Doug: You want me to put my hands *where*?

Doug: You know, I don't even think she likes to skate.
Anton: You work in factory. You happy there?
Doug: Hey, I worked there because I had to.
Anton: Uh-huh.

Doug: Great Expectations.
Kate: Well, it was either that or Curious George Plays Hockey. I took a chance.

Hale: I guess this calls for a toast.
Doug: Let's drink to the little people.
Kate: Excuse me. Naked male insecurity really leaves me cold.

Doug: Must be hard to stay away.
Hale: I understand that you've been giving Kate a rough time.
Doug: You know Kate.
Hale: Yes, and I don't like to see her upset.
Doug: If I was you, I'd invest in blindfolds.

Doug: Well, actually it's kind of interesting. I've been... I've been doin' a little figure skating.
Old man in back of bar: Finger painting?

Doug's Brother: It's figure skating!
Doug: And I like it!
Doug's Brother: Are they gonna make you shave your legs?

Kate: This is Mozart.
Doug: It's not us. Let's be different. Let's kick a little a**.
Kate: If you want to win, you play it straight!

Rick: I thought you retired.
Kate: I changed my mind.

Kate: He's gonna make you cry, he's so good.

Kate: I swear, you let me down and it'll take them a month to count the blade marks on your back.

Doug: Do me a favor. Take off the rock. It's cutting the s*** out of my hands.

Kate: Why are we doing this?
Kate's Father: It's what we've always wanted.
Kate: Always?

Hale: You're falling for him, aren't you?

Kate: That's silly. We'd never get along. I mean, look at us, we're always fighting.

Hale: Foreplay.

[At their First Olympic Skate. Doug has his top button unbuttoned]
Kate: You are an immature a**hole of the lowest order.
Doug: If it was forty below and that button meant the difference between a long satisfying life and a cold horrible death from hypothermia, I still wouldn't give you the satisfaction! Now, skate!
