What's the best movie line?

My vote for the best movie line comes from Six-String Samurai.

Quotes from here. 
You ever try a pink golf ball, Wally? Why, the wind shear alone on a pink golf ball can take the head off a 90-pound midget at over 300 yards. 
full movie:



The Kid (after more than an hour of movie time not saying anything): A '56 Chevy Belair could kick a '48 Buick Roadmaster's ass any day, at least in a first quarter mile that is.

Buddy:  You come all this way out saying squat and now you're trying to tell me that a '56 Chevy could beat a '48 Buick in a dead quarter mile?  I liked you better when you weren't saying squat kid...
...

 Nice tuxedo. Nice tuxedo to die in! 
...
Buddy: Who are you?
Death: Death.
Buddy: Cool.
...
Death: Only one man can kill this many Russians. Bring his guitar to me! 
...
Mesh-Head: If I were you, I would run.
Buddy: If you were me, you'd be good-lookin'.
Do you have any other suggestions?
Windmill people! I hate those guys!

    The best line I ever heard was when Lauren Bacall asked Humphrey Bogart, "You do know how to call, don't you? You put your finger in the hole and make little circles." Steve Martin plagiarized that one for "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid."

      Are your sure that its not, "You do know how to whistle..." From To Have and have Not?

      I may have remembered it incorrectly. I do remember her saying, "You put your finger in the hole and make little circles." I was amazed they got it past the censors in those days. But then, they got Wilmer the Gunsel past the censors in "The Maltese Falcon." Apparently they thought "gunsel" meant "gunman." It meant passive homosexual, as in the Fat Man's lover.

      What was acceptable and not is probably entirely different from what we think it is.

    Diego: Who are you?
    Man in Black: No one of consequence.
    Diego: I must know.
    Man in Black: Get used to disappointment.
    Diego: OK.

      A quibble: the name is Inigo, not Diego.

      Also, from the same film:

      Westley to Count Rogan: "We are men of action. Lies do not become us."

    Hi Spoot,
    'You know,...that guy diNiro played in "Apocalypse Now," Bill Kilgore, he said something along these lines,"That smell, that gasoline smell,.... I love the smell of Napalm early in the morning,....it smells like ....'Victory'!!!!" May not be exact but it's close enough......And Richard Egan in "The Hunters" introducing his old flying buddy Robert Mitchum,"Guys meet my old friend Cleaver Saville, he and I were flyin' together when the only thing a pilot had for breakfast was a cigarette and a hangover!!"...Oh Yeah,"If yer' gonna' be stupid ya' better be tough!!" John Wayne.
