jljonesQuotes you use in your day to day.
Being a huge movie and TV fan, I try to throw in quotes. Today, I was talking and I used the Art Mullins “they’ll start to think of you as a biter” quote.
It got me to thinking about movie quotes that I use from time to time in conversation.
“If it weren’t for dumb fucks like you there would be no thievery in this world”
“That’s not what he said, you ignorant wretch”
“Just when I thought you could do anything any dumber. You go and do something like this. And totally redeem yourself”
“Not one man on this force will rest until the killer is brought to justice. Now let’s grab a bite to eat”
Which ones do you use?

CoolRich59Before I retired, sometimes Id find myself providing legal support to an inexperienced sales guy/gal. Whenever those newbies would lose focus, I would start quoting from Glengarry Glen Ross:
“A-B-C. Always Be Closing” and
“Get them to sign on the line which is dotted”.
I was also fond of quoting Apollo 13 when some deal had gone sideways (or was about to)
“Houston we have a problem” and
“Let’s work the problem people.”

pbramlett“It’s like I’m playing cards with my brother’s kids or something”
Occasionally when someone quits I’ll say.
“Well, bye..”
When one of my techs say they cannot connect to the printer, camera, whatever I will say “Give me a ping Vasilli, one ping only please”
Regards,

You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

lastmanstandingWhen we have multiple things not go right. We were out fishing one day. “The anchor rope broke, its windy and starting to rain and our pets heads are falling off!!
There’s always “You're a nickel standing in the way of a dollar!”
And for special occasions “I use to fuck guys like you in prison!”

CoolRich59Another one I used to use in the office when some deal would blow up:
"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue."

cas(I do all day every day, but usually not "famous" or real recognizable ones for most folks.)
One I use a often is
"You're a lucky guy Gardner" which sometimes puzzles people. (A totally unimportant line from Platoon.)
