OT - favorite fiction qoutes

You want movie quotes, you just can't beat the new Governor-elect of California. Leaving aside all of the classics that everyone knows from the Terminator flicks, there's this gem from Commando:

Arnie: Hey Sully, remember when I said that I would kill you Last?
Sully: Yeah, yeah, that's right, you said that!
Arnie: I lied.
Sully: YAAAAAAAaaaaahhh! SPLAT!
A moment later...
Girl: Where's Sully?
Arnie: I let him go.

But my real favorite Arnie scenes are too long to quote - the parts in Last Action Hero when he is making fun of himself (and appearing both as himself and as a movie character) - like when Maria is chiding him not to keep talking about the restaurant all the time (this was back when he and some other guys started up Planet Hollywood).

How could I forget this one? It's from Blade Runner:

Wake up. It's time to die!

"The aliens can travel across the stars but they can't open wooden doors?"

A nice reference to the Circles aliens and other sci-fi aliens across the ages that have been stopped by the old barricaded wooden door.

I think it was more referencing the more recent movie with Mel Gibson, who stopped being a preacher when his wife died, and all the horrible alien invasion stuff made him gain his faith back... I forget what that movie was called. It wasn't very good.

Anything by Terry Pratchett..

"Thunder rolled, it rolled a six"

"The landscape was up and down like a honeymoon duvet"

"the book looked slightly foxed, and possibly squirrelled, badgered, rabbited and dragoned as well"

"Gods are the outmoded relics of an out of date belif system, take Io, the Thunder God, wehat space is there for him in modern life where's the nearest snowline? 200 miles away?! good! take Fobol, God of Avalanches, what a tosser"

Pure gems each and every one
