Hello fellow WBF members and good morning to you! Please place the quote you like along with the movie or show it's associated with. Let's have some fun with this! :D

Here are some of my favorites;

I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk? - Dirty Harry

"He got a real pretty mouth ain't he?" - Deliverance

"But, but......my stapler!" - Office Space

[last lines]
Fletch: [narrating] When it came to basketball Gail was a loss, but we had our own version of one-on-one and she thought I was the bravest guy in the world. Which, of course, I am. By the way, I charged the entire vacation to Mr. Underhill's American Express Card. Want the number?

John Matrix: Where is she?
Sully: I don't know. But Cooke knows, I'll take you to where I'm supposed to meet him!
John Matrix: But you won't.
Sully: Why not?

John Matrix: I lied.
[Matrix releases Sully, who falls to his demise]
