Best Lines From A Movie

Funny, how am I funny?

Dont you repress me.

Get busy living, get busy dying.

Terrific race the Romans.

The greatest benefit I think most kids ever derive out of doing Latin is getting a full appreciation of the scene where Brian gets caught graffiti-ing the forum. Latin is a weird language to study. First year is a lot of drawing centurions and shit. In the second year, they hit you with more tenses than a steroid enthusiasts convention.

Occasionally, the first words out of my gob when I speak to my best mate (sorry Fatso) on the phone are ā€œPeople call Romanes, they go to the houseā€.

ā€œIt says Romans go homeā€ā€¦

Five minutes later, weā€™re done.

Life of Brian is jam packed full of brilliant lines but one that I love is rarely quoted. Itā€™s the scene where they have just started following Brian but have momentarily lost him. Someone says he has risen and they all look and point skywards until Cleese says the line ā€œNo, no, there he isā€.

The line I want from Millerā€™s Crossing, I canā€™t find in good quality.

Look into your heart.

Where Bernie Bernbaum is pleading with Reagan to not kill him.

Also my favourite line, which only had a special significance to me, is

Nobody knows anybody. Not that well.

Itā€™s still the funniest film ever for me.

My favourite single line is not even spoken by a Python.

ā€œFound this spoon, sir!ā€

Itā€™s brilliant because the setup is so fantastic.

My personal favourite - and again itā€™s one that doesnā€™t normally get quoted - is the one from the ex-leper, after heā€™s moaned away like hell about being cured of his leprosy by Jesus. Heā€™s not happy with the money Brian gives him, either:

Ex-leper: One shekel? One bloody shekel for my life story?

Brian: Thereā€™s no pleasing some people.

Ex-leper: Thatā€™s exactly what Jesus said, sir.
