Waits for someone admitting to Meg Ryan in When Harry met Sally

Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!

I have often yelled the Bruce Willis catchphrase from Die Hard... although perhaps inappropriate to reprint on a forum. Here is another John McLane line that i can quote on here - the part when he was in desperate need of foot-ware:

Nine million terrorists in the world and I gotta kill one with feet smaller than my sister. 

That reminds me of the time when I was behind a man in his 20s waiting at a pedestrian crossing for the lights to turn green. It seemed to me that he looked remarkably like Stan Laurel. I don't think he had noticed me when just as the lights were turning green, he raised his hand to his hair and scratched it just like Stan Laurel used to.

  It's a strange world. 

Can I ask   - squiggle and Cold Sweat  -
do you do these quotes in the original voice; do you do a full acting version?
(Be honest now...)

loads!!! 

But they aren't so much Thespian.... as movie quotes!  

Hubby & I are always doing quotes from Ferris Buellers Day off or The Breakfast Club (we were both born in 1970... so stuff like this is what we do have in common) at each other... or sometimes accidently we say them in unison...   e.g.

(to our son)... "Don't mess with bull young man....   you'll get the horns"

Numerous Star Wars quotes....  

Oh... & the usual mix of telly comedy stuff...  from League of Gentleman, The Fast Show, Little Britain.

Daughter can easily & unstoppably be triggered into going off into Ewan McGregor quotes from Moulin Rouge ("Above all things I believe in love. Love is like oxygen- love is a many splendored thing- love lifts us up where we belong! All you need is love!")

Used to be able to do the Henry V speech in the style of Larry.

I don't think I aim for a Kenneth Williams voice but I do certainly declaim it, well you have to don't you.  Although I must admit when I do A HANDBAG!!! I certainly aim for Dame Edith Evans.  You have to run up and down (vocally speaking) during the handbag bit, and get as many syllables into it as possible.

Ooo. I bet it sounds really good squiggle.
And G Joe what do you mean by "used to be able"? You shouldn't allow these skills to fade.
Look at Ditty - it's obviously in the genes in her family.

I don't think i can do the New York accent justice... unlike Bruce Willis who was raised in New Jersey - although  born in Germany - his father being a US serviceman.

  nah!  its just what passes for humour in our house!

Lol
Me and' daughter always burst into the four Yorkshire men if anyone complains about something being a bit crappy (though you'd have to be there to.......I'll get my coat...)  
 
 
 

I've done the Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry thing.... *Do you feel lucky... well do you punk...*  and *Make my day* Oh , also the Scarlett O'Hara *tomorrow is another day*

oh Monty Python gets the odd outing in our house too Muf.... though this goes whoosh over the kids heads!

OH! I bladdy love all the old Bette Davis movies,she was fab.Such a great actress and the fact that she and Joan Crawford vied for air time and their men in real life made it it all the more succulent!.. I've read loads of their biographies!..Mieeeowww! to put it mildly.

"Fasten your seatbelts......"
"But y'are Blanche......."

Lol
Mines 11 and 5/6ths and see loves the 4 Yorkshiremen sketch and it's gone viral in her year at school ...loads of 12 yr olds going round spouting 'Lug'jary!' at each other

lol!   Its the Gap Yah viral vid thats the current craze round here!  Its all vomtastic!

To clarify:  Gap Yah is a vid on YouTube

When my Nan was younger (and alive) I thought she looked just like Joan Crawford

'Nobody puts baby in the corner'
'Get the f**k outta here!'
'Yippy kai yay mutha f***er' (often on the motorway when I've dodged a speed camera)
'Frankly my dear, I dont give a damn' (change damn to alternative word beginning with F ending in K)

and I suppose quite a few more

"i just CHUNDEREDDD everywheah!"
 
 
Lol
 

BANTER... Just like Fulham!

And it's not like taking a trolley ride together where they can get off at different stops. They're stuck with each other and they got to ride all the way to the end of the line and it's a one-way trip and the last stop is the cemetery.

The earnest Barton Keyes (Edward G Robinson) with his grim prediction for the conspirators in the noir classic Double Indemnity.

 

Ah  Cold Sweat.   You've brought  that flooding back to me.
Smashing film.
(I used to be scared of Edward G Robinson when I was a child. But I like him now  )

smoke me a kipper I'll be back for breakfast...Red Dwarf

I never knew Radio 4 was broadcasting it - it's one of my favourite films of all time.

In a totally different genre, I have threatened to get medieval on the OH's ass.

"All the little chunklets just glistening in the sun" 

and in the style of gap yah 2
" I was literally wearing a lashmina"
"Awahness for Haiti in Africa" (!)- note after the sketch is does say Haiti is not in Africa
"I was really pleased when I came up with the name P-A-R-HAITI-Y, because people were like party banter! but then also like I'm so awah"

iam prone to purloin bits of eddie izzard  speak.

particularly when i arrive some where, poke my head around the door and say,in a silly voice ' ello..we're the romans...

Deman, this was a 1 hour adaptation (and a very good one too I thought.)
Sarah Lancashire, Anthony Head and Joan Plowright were the leads.
I don't think it is being repeated, but it is on iPlayer.

I'll have to fetch my headphones into work tomorrow and sneakily check that out

My youngest grandson aged 2 has always hated his high chair ....he likes to sit on a normal adult chair which he now does but .......................I miss saying 'Nobody puts baby in the highchair'.

My memory isn't what it was. Our current fave and repeated piece is that anecdote recently told by Lee Mack. He used to be a bluecoat and fancied himself as a standup. A part of his act was  to say to individual members of the audience, "And where are you from?" If anyone said "Kent!" he would reply, "What did you call me?"

One night he got completely refreshed before going on stage and said, "Is anyone here from Kent?" One bloke put his hand up to be greeted with "Yer a **nt!" We use that everyday at car drivers.

My husband says I do an amazing Scarlett O'Hara and a good Norma Desmond *sticks out bottom lip*

I heard Lee Mack's story  It was on that Frank Skinner show the other week.

"Monty, you terrible Kent!"

Didn't want to mention where I'd heard it. I tuned in for Sarah Millican who couldn't get a word in edgeways. Incidentally Mrs Joe does a brilliant and world class impression of her.

Why? Ah! Don't bother......
