      Lieutenant Worf : [referring to Admiral Satie] I believed her. I, I helped her. I did not see what she was.

      Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Mister Worf, villains who twirl their moustaches are easy to spot. Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well camouflaged.

      Lieutenant Worf : I think… after yesterday, people will not be so ready to trust her.

      Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Maybe. But she, or someone like her, will always be with us, waiting for the right climate in which to flourish, spreading fear in the name of righteousness. Vigilance, Mister Worf - that is the price we have to continually pay.

      Picard is a real quote machine. The one closest to my heart is:

      Captain Jean-Luc Picard : There’s no greater challenge than the study of philosophy.

      Wesley Crusher : But William James won’t be on my Starfleet exams.

      Captain Jean-Luc Picard : The important things never will be. Anyone can be trained in the mechanics of piloting a starship.

      Wesley Crusher : And Starfleet Academy…

      Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Takes more. Open your mind to the past - art, history, philosophy. And all this may mean something.

    These are my go to quotes from Snatch and The Big Lebowski that I use whenever the occasion arises. Not everyone gets the reference. I also refer to my anxiety meds as “anti anxiety disco biscuits.” I got that one from Shameless - my doctor got a kick out of that.

    “What’s happening with them sausages, Charlie?”

    “In the quiet words of the Virgin Mary… come again?”

    “D’ya like dags?”

    “You’re out of your element!”

    “This aggression will not stand, man.”

    “Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man”

      I had a roommate once who kept walking in and contributing to conversations with no idea what was happening, so “You’re out of your element!” became a staple.

        I once had a dog who was a bit of an asshole, but I loved the cheeky bastard. He knew he wasn’t supposed to be in the kitchen and would purposely lie on the floor and place one paw on the kitchen tile that separated it from the living room and just stared at me. I’d frequently shout, “OVER THE LINE!”

        But that was just between me and him. :)

            For those who actually don’t know: MarkDown (the markup language used by Lemmy and Reddit) uses the backslash as a “cancel” command. And it uses the underscores as an italicize command, just like the *asterisks* you’re probably in the habit of using.

            For instance, _this_ turns into this. But when I cancel those underscores with a backslash \_like this\_ they appear.

            So why does the backslash disappear on the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ face? For starters, the backslash cancels the underscores around the head. So the underscores show up, but the arm doesn’t. So what if we try two backslashes? Then we get:

            ¯\(ツ)

            The first backslash canceled out the second, but now the underscores are italicizing the head. So let’s try three:

            ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

            Now the first backslash is canceling out the second, and the third backslash is canceling out the underscore.

    There are just so many quotable lines from Kung Pow

    “That’s a lot of nuts!”

    “You go that way, I’ll go home.”

    “We trained him wrong as a joke”

    “If you got an ass I’ll kick it!”

    “My nipples look like Milk Duds!”

    “I’m a man too, you know. I go peepee standing up!”

    “I rock and roll, all day long, sweet Susie!”

    “Leap that wall, if you’re so great!”

    “I’m a nice man with happy feelings all the time!”

    “I’ve got some yellow liquid for your popcorn, and it’s non-dairy!”

        It’s not a movie but it makes me think of this quote from Murakami’s What I Talk About When I Talk About Running:

        Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. Say you’re running and you think, ‘Man, this hurts, I can’t take it anymore.’ The ‘hurt’ part is an unavoidable reality, but whether or not you can stand anymore is up to the runner himself.

        I feel this may be the sentiment behind, “Pain don’t hurt.”

          Indeed it is. The line comes from Patrick Swayze’s head bouncer character “Dalton” in Road House. He is supposed to be a sort of ascetic warrior philosopher. He eschews convenience, lives in a converted barn without air conditioning, etc. because for him physical suffering is of little importance.

    Not from a movie, but there’s a line from The Office that really stuck with me:

    “Not everything’s a lesson, Ryan. Sometimes, you just fail.”
