"you know, things, life, whatnot"
like the geek in the teen classic sixteen candles, who owns the
quote above, sometimes you simply need a movie line to express an
attitude.
intimidating: "ferocious, aren't i?" (heat)
insulting: "you … look like your face fell in the cheese dip back
in 1956." (they live)
self-indulgent: "i want to take a swim in
lake me." (full frontal)
defensive: "i could have. i chose not to. i'm not hung up on this
completion thing." (the big chill)
jerky: "it's not that i'm lazy, it's that i just
don't care." (office space)
cocky: "tonight, i'll be the super me." (singles)
"sorry, goose, but it's time to buzz the tower"
tom cruise said this to his wingman in top gun, and you can
announce this to your reluctant friends when they want to end the
evening too early. fact is, some lines work better with a wingman,
someone who can complete the scene with you for maximum dork
effect.
when you arrive at your neighborhood card game, you go through this
dialogue from rain man:
"rain man?"
"yeah?"
"let's play some cards!"
"yeah."
another good one is when you and a friend close the
car door as
you're about to embark on whatever weekend journey lies ahead, you
must pay homage to jake and elwood blues:
"it's 106 miles to
chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a
pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses."
"hit it."
when someone asks you for an answer to a question
that confuses you, say, "yeah, 220, 221, whatever it takes." (mr.
mom)
