Val Kilmer says the word "hucklebearer' date='" which is synonymous with "pall bearer." Makes a bit more sense, no?[/quote']

 

Um, where did you get this from? Neither Webster's 2nd nor the online OED have "hucklebearer," and "huckle" means either the hip, or to stoop. I'm interested in trying to trace down this new-to-me word. :)

". . . We're gonna need a bigger boat."

 

Jaws

 

One of my all-time favorite movie lines ever. It has great universal usage in RPG's as well. Open dungeon door, there's a beholder. ". . . We're gonna need a bigger boat."

 

To keep this from being a "me too" post, I humbly submit:

"Give me that baby, you warthog from hell!" -- Ed McDonnough, Raising Arizona.

Sam: I hurt somebody's feelings once.

 

Vincent: Everyone's your brother until the rent comes due.

 

[sam accepts a cigarette offered by Vincent]

Sam: So, are you labor or management?

Vincent: If I were management, I would not offer you a cigarette!

 

[discussing interrogation techniques]

Larry: How did they finally get to you?

Sam: They gave me a grasshopper.

Larry: What's a grasshopper?

Sam: Lessee, two parts gin, one part brandy, one part Creme de Menthe...

 

Spence: You worried about saving your own skin?

Sam: Yeah, I am. It covers my body.

Creedy: Bollocks. Whatchya gonna do, huh? We've swept this place. You've got nothing. Nothing but your bloody knives and your fancy karate gimmicks. We have guns.

V: No, what you have are bullets, and the hope that when your guns are empty I'm no longer be standing, because if I am you'll all be dead before you've reloaded.

Creedy: That's impossible. Kill him.

[the fingermen open fire on V, but he still stands after their clips are empty]

V: My turn.

Early: You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport, yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Just so you guys know, I just bought "Big Trouble in Little China," even though I've never seen it or have any idea about it's plot.

 

People keep quoting it, and I respect these boards enough that I consider it a common cultural reference that I should be familiar with for communication with others.

 

I hope it's good...

I think so. I think the film is a total riot.

When I was young, single and sharing an apartment with some gaming buddies, BTILC was the movie that when in every day after we got home from work. We had the whole movie memorized, up to and including the Chinese bits (though we had no idea what was being said) and the warbled bits where the tape had worn.

 

I love that movie. Probably within my top five list.
