Monkey see, monkey say
This time our Friday quiz won't even let you claim that you're smarter than everyone else. Just that you have one of those weird memories that can retain movie quotes perfectly and roll them out at will when the barbecue's firing and the wine's kicking in. They don't have to be particularly clever, just be ones that stuck with you for some crazy reason. Here's a few I like, for some unapparent reason.
Russian cop Schwarzenegger asking criminal element in car if he knows his rights. “Do you know Miranda?”
“Never heard of the bitch.” Punches him out cold.
Red Heat, 1988
"Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!"
AND
"You maniacs! You blew it up! Ahhh, damn you! God damn you all to hell!"
Planet of the Apes, 1968
“What's in the box?! WHAT'S in the BOX?!”
Seven, 1995
Rob offers a line from a fifties B-grade job. Our hero says something particularly banal to which the evil Chinese mastermind replies inscrutably: "Ahhhh. You are a phirosopher ..."

"You don't understand... I've seen it. I've seen it happening. The ocean is dying, the plankton is dying... It's people! Soylent Green is made out of people. They're making our food out of people. Soon, they'll be breeding us like cattle -- for food! You gotta tell 'em! Listen to me, Hatcher! You gotta tell 'em -- SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!! We gotta stop them! Somehow! Listen! Listen to me... PLEASE!!!"
Soylent Green, 1973.

It has to be a couple of more or less random lines from two of my favourite movies:
Sergio Leone's epic Once Upon A Time In America:
Dominic: [after being shot by Bugsy] Noodles, I slipped!
Terry Gilliam's belatedly recognised masterpiece Brazil:
Sam Lowry: How are the twins?
Jack Lint: Triplets.
Sam Lowry: My, how time flies!
Morgan Spurlock: What is this a picture of?
Child: I don't know. George W. Bush?
[Morgan shows the camera that it is actually a picture of Jesus]
