Favourite Line in a Film

'I was born ready'. NOT from the rubbish 'Ocean's 13' it is actually from 'Big Trouble in Little China'. Wang asks Jack Burton 'are you ready Jack?' and Jack replies 'I was born ready'
 
Not a line, but a brilliant Kaufman-dialogue:

DONALD
Oh, God. I was so in love with her.

KAUFMAN
I know. And you were flirting with her.
And she was really sweet to you.

DONALD
I remember that.

KAUFMAN
Then when you walked away, she started
making fun of you with Kim Canetti. It
was like they were laughing at me. You
didn't know at all. You seemed so happy.

DONALD
I knew. I heard them.

KAUFMAN
How come you looked so happy?

DONALD
I loved Sarah, Charles. It was mine,
that love. I owned it. Even Sarah
didn't have the right to take it away. I
can love whoever I want.

KAUFMAN
She thought you were pathetic.

DONALD
That was her business, not mine. You are
what you love, not what loves you.
That's what I decided a long time ago.
 
2 of my very favourite:-


Ash: Now listen up, you primitive screwheaRAB. See this? This... is my boomstick! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting gooRAB department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand RapiRAB, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You *got* that?

and........

Duke Henry: I am Henry the Red. Duke of Shale, Lord of the NorthlanRAB and leader of its peoples.

Ash: Well hello Mister Fancypants! Well, I've got news for you pal, you ain't leadin' but two things: Jack and sh1t... and Jack just left town.
