Board,What's the most profound line you've found from a movie?
For me (and I can't quote it exactly), it's a line in "Easy Rider" where Nicholson (playing a lawyer) argues it's not what you are but what you represent . . or words to that effect. I find that quite true.

My wife's response to the question. She also mentioned:
"You think you got problems? I'm in here witha guy thinks
Wyoming is a country!"
*** Q:Why's the chicken cross the road?
***A: Fats Waller: They don't, they all stay on my side now...***
...
Young Frankenstein... "What hump?"
Clint Eastwood, Unforgiven, : "Hell of a thing, killin' a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have."
He's the master at profound statement. here a few of my favorites:1. "I love the rain - it washes memories off the sidewalk of life" - from "Play it again, Sam"
2. "Sun is bad for you. Everything our parents said was good is bad. Sun, milk, red meat... college" - from "Annie Hall"
3. "I think people should mate for life, like pigeons or Catholics" - from "Manhattan"
4. "To you, I'm an atheist; to God, I'm the loyal opposition" - from "Stardust Memories"
Other Woody Allen profound statements:
"I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown""Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons"
"Organized crime in America takes in over forty billion dollars a year and spends very little on office supplies"
Great lines !There's also ....
"...90 percent of life is just showing up...""
I believe it was 70%. He said it was actualy 80% but he used 70 for alliterative reeasons.
"....The food is terrible ....and such small portions!..."

*** Q:Why's the chicken cross the road?
***A: Fats Waller: They don't, they all stay on my side now...***
From a comic book long before the movie, but these are certainly words to live by...
From "One eyed Jacks":Chico: "Rio, you could spend the rest of your life looking for this man"
Rio: "Let's git goin'."

Dustin Hoffman's last line to Jon Voight in Midnight Cowboy.
From Butch and the Kid. Not profound, but memorable. Wonder if Ben, or will it be Matt, will say that line in the remake?That "Steenkin Badges" line is a great one. I just used it as a "drop" at the beginning of a comp that started with a couple of Tex Mex Rockers.
1) We Don't Need No Steenkin Badges
2) Los Lonely Boys - Senorita
3) Texas Tornados - A Little Bit Is Better Than Nada

It's not so much the profoundness of the uttered dialogue, as it is the puctuation at the end! ;^)AuPh

We don't need no stinking badges
It's "I don't have to show you any stinking badges."So far we have two misquotes for Most Profound Line.
Let's work on these skills.
Most profound? please
if I recall correctly....sorry about the quote.
