E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

Elliot: He's a man from outer space and we're taking him to his spaceship.
Greg: Well, can't he just beam up?
Elliot: This is *reality,* Greg.

[On what Elliot could have seen.]
Michael: Maybe an elf or a leprechaun.
Elliot: It was nothing like that, penis breath!

E.T.: E.T. phone home.

Elliot: How do you explain school to a higher intelligence?

The Edge (1997)

Charles Morse: Why is the rabbit unafraid?
Styles: 'Cause he's smarter than the panther.

Bob and Stephen: A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.

Charles Morse: You saved me.
Robert Green: Get over it, Charles -- I just need you to navigate.
Charles Morse: You saved my life.
Robert Green: Well, I couldn't kill you with Stephen around. I'd have to kill him too, and he's the only one that knows how I like my coffee.
Charles Morse: Come on, you saved my life.
Robert Green: Buy me something nice when we get home.
Charles Morse: How'd you like your coffee?
Robert Green: Huh. I like my coffee like I like my women.
Stephen: Bitter and murky!

Charles Morse: What one man can do, another can do.

[After successfully fighting a bear]
Charles Morse: For all my life, I've have wanted to do something that was, um, that was unequivocal.
Robert Green: Well, Charlie, I certainly think this qualifies.
Charles Morse: Or something.
Robert Green: See, Charles, that's why they call it personal growth. A month ago, old Smokey here would've reared up, you probably would've called your lawyer!
Charles Morse: Nah, I wouldn't do that to an animal.

Charles Morse: You know, I once read an interesting book which said that, uh, most people lost in the wilds, they, they die of shame.
Stephen: What?
Charles Morse: Yeah, see, they die of shame. "What did I do wrong? How could I have gotten myself into this?" And so they sit there and they... die. Because they didn't do the one thing that would save their lives.
Robert Green: And what is that, Charles?
Charles Morse: Thinking.

Charles Morse: Never feel sorry for a man who owns a plane.

Charles Morse: We're all put to the test... but it never comes in the form or at the point we would prefer, does it?

Emma (1996)

Mr. Knightley: I rode through the rain! I'd - I'd ride through worse than that if I could just hear your voice telling me that I might, at least, have some chance to win you.

Emma: Has an invitation arrived for a party at the Coles?
Mr. Woodhouse: No, thank Heaven. The Coles are nice people, but we should have to go outside to get there.

Mr. Knightley: Emma, you didn't ask me to contribute a riddle.
Emma: Your entire personality is a riddle, Mr. Knightley. I thought you overqualified.

Miss Bates: It left us speechless, quite speechless I tell you, and we haven't stopped talking of it since.

Mr. Knightley: You must be happy that she settled so well.
Emma: Indeed! One matter of joy in this is that I made the match myself. People said Mr. Weston would never marry again, and what a triumph!
Mr. Knightley: Triumph? You made a lucky guess!
Emma: Have you never known the triumph of a lucky guess? If I had not promoted Mr. Weston's visits and given encouragement where encouragement was needed, we might not have had a wedding today.
Mr. Woodhouse: Then please, my dear, encourage no one else. Weddings are so disruptive to one's social circle.

Emma: Is he a man of information?
Jane: All his statements seem correct.
Emma: Is he handsome?
Jane: Many seem to think so.
Emma: Is he agreeable?
Jane: He was in no way disagreeable.

Mr. Knightley: Marry me. Marry me, my dear, darling friend!
Emma: Mr. Knightley, if I do not speak it is because I fear I shall awaken myself from this dream.

Mrs. Elton: I do not profess to be an expert in the field of fashion (though my friends say I have quite the eye) but I can tell you, there is a shocking lack of satin!

Emma: One does not like to generalize about so many people all at once, Mr. Knightly, but you may be sure that men know *nothing* about their hearts, whether they be six-and-twenty, or six-and-eighty.

Emma: The most incomprehensible thing in the world to a man is a woman who rejects his offer of marriage.

Emma: Hmm, you dismiss her beauty and good nature, yet I would be very much mistaken, if your sex in general, does not think those claims the highest a woman could possess!

Emma: Not one in a hundred men have "gentleman" so plainly written across them as Mr. Knightley!

[Emma shoots a badly-aimed arrow]
Mr. Knightley: Try not to kill my dogs.

Mr. Knightley: Vanity working on a weak mind produces all kinds of mischief.

Mr. Knightley: Better to be without sense than misapply it as you do.

Mr. Knightley: Is it not a brother's job to find fault with his sister?

[Question about a letter proposing marriage]
Miss Smith: Is it a good letter or too short?

Emma: The most beautiful thing in the world is a match well made.

Emma: Thank you for being so thoughtful.
Rev. Elton: Thank you for thinking I'm thoughtful.

Emma: I must throw a party; otherwise everyone will see clearly how much I despise her.

Rev. Elton: I am an old married man. My dancing days are over.

The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

Leia: Why, you stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf-herder!
Han: Who's scruffy-looking?

Piett: Lord Vader, our ships have completed their scan of the area and found nothing. If the Millennium Falcon went into light-speed, it'll be on the other side of the galaxy by now.
Vader: Alert all commands. Calculate every possible destination along their last known trajectory.
Piett: Yes, my Lord. We'll find them.
Vader: Don't fail me again, Admiral.

Obi-Wan: Luke, don't give into hate. That leads to the dark side.

C-3PO: Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1!
Han: Never tell me the odds!

Vader: Yes, Admiral.
Piett: Our ships have sighted the Millennium Falcon, my lord. But it has entered an asteroid field and we can not risk...
Vader: Asteroids do not concern me, Admrial. I want that ship, not excuses.

Emperor: The son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi.
Vader: If he could be turned, he would be a powerful ally.
Emperor: Yes. Yes. He would be a great asset. Can it be done?
Vader: He will join us or die, my master.

Yoda: You must unlearn what you have learned.

Luke: I want my lamp back! I'm gonna need it to get out of this slimy mudhole!
Yoda: Mudhole? Slimy? My home this is!

[A tremor knocks Leia into Han's arms.]
Leia: Let go.
Solo: Shh.
Leia: Let go, please.
Solo: Don't get excited!
Leia: Captain, being held by you isn't quite enough to get me excited.
Solo: Sorry sweetheart. I haven't got time for anything else.

[Luke can't levitate his X-Wing out of the bog.]
Luke: I can't. It's too big.
Yoda: Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere. Yes, even between the land and the ship.

Han: Afraid I was gonna leave without giving you a goodbye kiss?
Leia: I'd just as soon kiss a Wookie!
Han: I can arrange that! You could use a good kiss!

Han: Well Princess, it looks like you managed to keep me here a while longer.
Leia: I had nothing to do with it. General Rieekan thinks it's dangerous for anyone to leave the system until they've activated the energy shield.
Han: That's a good story. I think you just can't bear to let a gorgeous guy like me out of your sight.
Leia: I don't know where you get you delusions, laser brain!
[Chewbacca laughs]
Han: Laugh it up, fuzzball!

Vader: The force is with you young Skywalker, but you are not a Jedi yet.

C-3PO: R2 says that the chances of survival are 725 to 1. Actually R2 has been known to make mistakes - from time to time... Oh dear...

Han: Oh! I thought they smelled bad on the *outside*!

Yoda: I am wondering, why are you here?
Luke: I'm looking for someone.
Yoda: Looking? Found someone, you have, I would say, hmmm?
Luke: Right...
Yoda: Help you I can. Yes, mmmm.
Luke: I don't think so. I'm looking for a great warrior.
Yoda: Ohhh! Great warrior! [laughs and shakes his head] Wars not make one great!

Luke: Alright, I'll give it a try.
Yoda: No! Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try.

[Using the Force, Yoda effortlessly frees the X-Wing from the bog.]
Luke: I don't believe it.
Yoda: That is why you fail.

Vader: Impressive. Most impressive. Obi-wan has taught you well. You have controlled your fear. Now, release your anger! Only your hatred can destroy me!

Vader: There is no escape. Don't make me destroy you. [pauses] Luke, you do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover your power. Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy.
Luke: I'll never join you!
Vader: If you only knew the *power* of the dark side. Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.
Luke: He told me enough! He told me *you* killed him.
Vader: No. *I* am your father.

Leia: I'll be back.

Han: You said you wanted to be around when I made a mistake, well, this could be it, sweetheart.
Leia: I take it back.

Leia: I love you.
Han: I know.

Vader: Your destiny lies with me Skywalker. Obi-Wan knew this to be true.

Vader: Calrissian! Take the princess and the Wookie to my ship.
Lando: You said they'd be left at the city under my supervision.
Vader: I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.

Enemy Mine (1985)

Davidge: "If one receives evil from another, let one not do evil in return. Rather, let him extend love to the enemy, that love might unite them." I've heard all this before... in the human Taalmaan.
Drac: Of course you have. Truth is truth.

Eraser (1996)

Donahue: We're way beyond bullshit here.

Sal: You think I could hit that guy from here?
Johnny C: Give it a rest, Sal. You couldn't hit the fuckin' floor if you fell on it.

Deguerin: You wanna impress me, slick? Do your fucking job!

Priest: The police have returned to the safety of their doughnut shops.

John: His Colombian associates wanted to introduce him to God personally.

Deguerin: You know, some people take things for granted, like the ability to eat solid food.

Deguerin: Gentlemen, keep your eyes open and your assholes puckered.

Deguerin: I want this town locked up so tight, it'll make his balls ache.

Tony Two Toes: No one fucks with the union!

John: Relax. You've been erased.

John (to dead alligator): You're luggage!

[John parachutes into a junkyard.]
John: Where is this?
Little girl: Earth. Welcome.

Degeurin: John, I don't believe you stabbed me with this cheap piece of mail-order shit!

Tony Two Toes: Those dirty commies!
Mikey: They're not commies any more. They're a federation of independent liberated states.
Tony Two Toes: Don't make me hurt you, Mikey.

Ever After (1998)

Danielle: Forgive me your highness, I did not see you.
Henry: Your aim would suggest otherwise.

Da Vinci: I know that a life without love is no life at all.
Henry: And love without trust?

Da Vinci: I'll go down in history as the man who opened a door.

Henry: I feel as though my skin is the only thing keeping me from going everywhere.

Paulette: The only throne I want her sitting on is the one I have to clean everyday!

Danielle: You, sir, are supposed to be charming.
Henry: And we, princess, are supposed to live happily ever after.
Danielle: Says who?
Henry: You know, I don't know.

Danielle: I would rather die a thousand deaths than to see my mother's dress on that spoiled, selfish cow!

Henry: You told me it was a matter of life or death.
Da Vinci: A woman always is.
