Classic Quotes, Comedy Films (for now) Options

[Faraaj73]

Add your favourite film noir quotes here. Once we've exhausted the noir genre, I'll change the Topic Description to something else - probably comedy. A good place to start a discussion on noir is Double Indemnity.

Double Indemnity (1944)
[last lines]
Walter Neff: Know why you couldn't figure this one, Keyes? I'll tell ya. 'Cause the guy you were looking for was too close. Right across the desk from ya.
Barton Keyes: Closer than that, Walter.
Walter Neff: I love you, too.

Kind of reminds me of another classic noir's closing:
[last lines]
Rick: Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship

Sedgwick (James Coburn ) : Danny, do you speak Russian?
Danny (Charles Bronson ) : A little, but only one sentence.
Sedgwick: Well, let me have it, mate.
Danny: Ya vas lyublyu.
Sedgwick: Ya ya vas...
Danny: Lyublyu.
Sedgwick: Lyubliu? Ya vas lyubliu. Ya vas lyublyu. What's it mean?
Danny: I love you.
Sedgwick: Love you. What ****** good is that?
Danny: I don't know, I wasn't going to use it myself.

Bartlett (Richard Attenborough ): Hilts, how do you breathe?
Hilts (Steve McQueen ) : Oh, we got a steel rod with hinges on it. We'll shove it up and make air holes as we go along.
[to Ramsey (James donald ) ]
Hilts: G'night, sir.
[Walks out]
MacDonald: Why didn't anyone think of that before? It's so stupid, it's positively brilliant!
[face falls]
MacDonald (Gordon Jackson) : Oh, but it'll bring every goon in the camp down on top of us!
Bartlett: I don't know. Perhaps we're being too clever. If we stop all the breakouts, it will only convince the goons we must be tunneling.
Ramsey: I hope it works. If it doesn't, those two will be in the cooler for an awfully long time.

Faraaj..now, war films are my favorites..

Remember both scenes and could visually the actors as I read the dialogue because I've seen the film so many times!!! I was crazy about The Great Escape and The Dirty Dozen as a kid.....great scenes....

My favourite scene has to be when the guards are about to enter the compound when they are digging the tunnel. Charles Bronson quickly jumps in the shower, another prisoner starts mopping the tile covering the tunnel and James Coburn is just standing around. The guards look at Coburn questioningly and ask what he is doing. He looks at Bronson in the shower and says "I'm watching him. I'm a lifeguard!"
