The Pink Panther Strikes Again


Mrs. Leverlilly: You've ruined that piano!
Clouseau: What is the price of one piano compared to the terrible crime that's been committed here?
Mrs. Leverlilly: But that's a priceless Steinway!
Clouseau: Not anymore!
Francois
: Do you know what kind of a bomb it was?
Clouseau: The exploding kind.
Clouseau: Good evening commissioner. How are you, how is madame and all the little Commissioners?
Clouseau: Tell me do you have a reum?
Hotel Clerk: I do not know what a 'reum' is.
Clouseau: [looks up the word 'room' in his German dictionary] Zimmer.
Hotel Clerk: Ah, a 'room'.
Clouseau: That is what I have been saying, you idiot. Reum. Zimmer.

When Harry Met Sally


"I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. "

Se7en


"Apathy is the solution. I mean, it's easier to lose yourself in drugs than it is to cope with life. It's easier to steal what you want than it is to earn it. It's easier to beat a child than it is to raise it. Hell, love costs: it takes effort and work. "
"Ernest Hemingway once wrote, "The world is a fine place and worth fighting for." I agree with the second part. "

The Usual Suspects


"Keaton always said, 'I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him.' "
"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist. And like that... he is gone. "

The Color of Money


"9-ball is rotation pool. The balls are pocketed in numbered order. The only ball that means anything, that wins it, is the 9. The player can shoot eight trick shots in a row, blow the 9 and lose. On the other hand, the player can get the 9 in on the break, if the balls spread right, and win. Which is to say that luck plays a part in 9-ball. But for some players...luck itself is an art."
"Money won is twice as sweet as money earned"

Starter for 10


"I admit it. I've made some mistakes. Okay, some big mistakes. Loads of them. But you can't hide in your room forever feeling sorry for yourself. It's not practical. At some point you've got to get back out there, face up to things, and confront your demons. And yes, I've made some bad choices, lost my head. Let people down. People I care for. But there still might be time to get something right. "
"Ever since I can remember, I’ve wanted to be clever. Some people are born clever the same way some people are born beautiful. I'm not one of those people. I'm gonna have to work at it. Put in the effort. And if I mess it up, I'll learn from it. Besides, sometimes it's not about knowing the right answer. Sometimes it's about asking the right question. "

Bull Durham

"I believe in the Church of Baseball. I've tried all the major religions, and most of the minor ones. I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms, and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I heard that, I gave Jesus a chance. But it just didn't work out between us. The Lord laid too much guilt on me.I believe in the Church of Baseball. I've tried all the major religions, and most of the minor ones.

"The world is made for people who aren't cursed with self-awareness."

"A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while."

"show me that million dollar arm 'cause I'm getting a good idea about the five cent head"

Cars

"Okay. Here we go. Focus. Speed. I am speed. One winner. 42 losers. I eat losers for breakfast. Breakfast? Maybe I should have had breakfast? Brekkie could be good for me. No no no. Focus. Speed. Faster than fast, quicker than quick. I am Lightning. "

Cheeni Kum


"Kyon ki woh kala sirf aankhon ko apni aur khichti hai. Lekin hum, hum jo yahan banate hain woh aankhon ko apni aur khichti hai, naak ko apni aur khichti hai, zubaan ko apni aur khichti hai. Isiliye hum, duniya ke sabse bade kalaakaar hain." (Because a painting merely draws the attention of a spectator's eyes. But what we do here attracts the senses of sight, smell and taste. And that's what makes us the world's greatest artists.)
