Good Lines
Commenter Kerri gave me an idea, for in the comment left was the interesting line of movie dialog:
Gunga Din, 'You disturb me greatly and I ignore the both of you'
I delight in this (I saw the movie, many eons ago and did not remember that line) and want more. So, I encourage, extort, and evoke my other readers (I think I'm up to five or six now!) to come up with other cherished lines of movie dialog. NOTE: the entirety of Princess Bride is encorporated by reference. No cheating. Besides, we want to uncover hidden treasure.
My contribution comes from The African Queen.
"I now pronounce you man and wife. Proceed with the execution!"

...No, not the quotes, but the very last line... *grin*
