Using quotes from the trilogy in real life

[Webley]

When my wife asks me if I can go mow the lawn or wash up some dishes all say...
"Maybe but not to day.":whip:



The next time some one stops you for directions tell them...
"Sajnu will guide you.":p



So do you guys use quotes from the Indy movies in real life?

[IndyBuff]

I use them sometimes and they work great in everyday situations. Lately I'm finding myself using the phrase "I think we've got a big problem" quite a bit.:)

[Violet Indy]

The one I use the most when coming up with shooting schedules and treatments...
"I don't know. I'm just making this up as I go."

[hovitos]

I know a lot of people who pull out 'He chose....poorly' on regular basis.

I like to use 'Too bad you don't speak Hovitos' and once pulled a rope out of reach of a friend stuck below while caving, taunting 'Throw me the idol!'.

[Gustav]

I like to say "I should have sent it to the Marx Brothers" a lot even when it doesn't really make sense. I also say "look what you did! I can't believe what you did!" and "oh, ****" a lot.

[indifan101]

I like using the two word quote from ToD when something goes wrong with homework or the vacum breaks or the lawnmower stops running! "This is serious!":rolleyes:

[Doc Savage]

Being a pastor, I always though "That's just what te Hebrews thought," would be readily available. Still looking for an opportunity.

That is why you should read Lamb!

I have always been a huge fan of


"SONUVA*****!"

" (insert anything), Why did it have to be (insert anything)" Liek a dinner, "Merlot, why did it have to be Merlot!"
but my all time favortie, which while I worked in restaurants, I was able to use to great effect

"I am not entirely comfortable with this Jewish ritual"
(we did a few Passover dinners and Rosh-HASH-Honna events


and who could forget
"More Beans Mr. Taggert"

opps wrong movie

*three:o My bad!

[Johan]

When someone stinks up my washroom '
"What are you doing in such a nasty place?"

[Gustav]

At work a few nights ago we were very slow and when we're slow I get restless and when I get restless I usually do something that irks the boss. I saw that the paper towel dispenser on the wall only had the cardboard tube left on it so I grabbed that and set it on fire. My boss told me to put it out but I ran outside instead. My boss didn't care so I just walked around behind the store holding the thing like a torch and I saw some graffiti on the wall that said ROBOTS. I hate robots so I said "Robots, why did it have to be robots?"

[Pale Horse]

In my profession, I am sure I could always use: "We have top men working on it now..." What a great way to tell someone, it's none of your damn business.

In fact, the next time one of you uses the "Report this post to the moderators" link, I just may respond back in kind. http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/biggrin.gif

It's the milage not the years

that pops up or out a lot!

[doctor jones]

Once again <insert name here> what was briefly yours is now mine.

I never get tired of that.

[Grizzlor]

Rats......

Illumination!

I suddenly remembered my Charlemagne......Well maybe not that one.

[roundshort]

Were gonna need a bigger boat


I know it isn't Indy, but that pops up a lot and of course my number one most quoted line fro a movie

"Talk to me Goose!"

[EvilDevo]

"dont know... ill think of something"

at least once a week the opportunity comes up so i use that one a lot

[roundshort]

not fromt he movie but the ride at DisneyLand,

"Tourists, why did it have to be tourists!"


(I live in a tourist town)

[DiscoLad]

"Fortune and Glory, Kid...Fortune and Glory" When my cousin asked me why I kept playing "Monster Maddness: Battle for Suburbia"...

[michael]

Usually when someone does/picks something wrong, I say "You chose, poorly." People usually get it.

[HellofaSandwich]

"I'm like a bad penny. I always turn up." -- an absolute classic that I've used a few times in the past.

When I was in high school, I was sitting around and talking with a bunch of the guys, and someone said: "Look at Nathan! He's as giddy as a schoolgirl!"

My response was: "Nathan? He was never giddy -- even when he WAS a schoolgirl!"

"No time for love, Dr. Jones" is also a classic that I've used a few times.

[Nurhachi1991]

"You stood up to be counted with the enemies of everything the Grail stands for! Who gives a damn what you think"



I once used this line on a chick at school in 7th or 8th grade when we did a group project and she did no work and said she thought she deserved credit! :p





Yes I felt like a jerk afterwards but it was a great opportunity to use that line.

[metalinvader]

I remixed a line from KOTCS on my girl the other day at walmart.I went in looking for the LC figures when she made some remark about some girls outfit and how cute it was.I simply said,"She has one problem,She isn't you."

She laughed,Rolled her eyes and gave me a hug... :p

[robisindy]

I use the "It's not the years, it's the mileage" line a lot. I also like to say "Faster boy, faster!" to my buddies to get them to hurry up, and "Well, they don't come any closer than that," but I have to do a Sean Connery impression to get the full impact of those ones.

[QBComics]

I do use the 'Oh Sh!t' line a lot. When my dad and me were waiting to see Indy 4 for the first time I asked him: "so, you've made it 19 years, how do you feel...?" "It's not the years, its the milage" :whip:

[Attila the Professor]

"I find, that if I just sit down and stay down...the solution presents itself," is surprisingly useful, but only among friends. Which really is to say, I've felt the compulsion to use it lately.

[The_Raiders]

A copy of another post of mine:

Well me and my friends were at a neihborhood BBQ and my friend was too shy to go pick out her food since she didn't really know anyone so I said "Eat it, you're.. insulting them, and you're embarassing me, eat it." And the same friend got mad becasue I left some things out and I simply replied "You don't have to get sore all the time to prove how tough you are, sit down, please sit down." She wasn't thrilled with that . Also I had a back ache once and my friend saw me walking and said "You look like an old man" so I said "It's not the years honey, it's the mileage." I know there are more then that but that's pretty much the only ones I can recall, I'll let more people know when ever I happen to use more quotes. And she was going through some tough times and said nothing could get better so I couldn't help but say "Maybe, but not today." As far as I know that day didn't get better for her :p .

[WillKill4Food]

I've only found usefulness in quotes such as "I don't know, I'm making it up as I go."

[The_Raiders]

Hey man, nice to see you posting again! :hat: I do beleive I have used that quote on occation before. :p

[Indy Byrd]

I too use the "It's not the years , it's the milage" quote a lot, since some days it feels as if I'm 97 instead of 27 :p . The other day me and my dad was at the lake and I rented a SeaDoo waverunner and pulled up along the dock next to my dad who is 65 years old. I was trying to get him on it to take a ride and he kept saying I really don't want to and I finally just said " Get on Gramps!" and he listened!! My son has seen KOTCS a couple times and likes Mutt's character and he'll ask me a question about something and I'll try explaining it to him and he'll ask me "Are you a teacher?" and my reply with a little grin is always..." Part time!"

[loganbush]

I like "this could be close!"

I think this is some Ford line.. "I think we have a big problem"

[twlightzone1205]

I'm just waiting for the opportunity to use, "Why don'tcha come down here and I'll show you!" on my wife one day.

[The_Raiders]

Well I just went in my friends room and interrupted his show and he got mad and got up so I once again got to use "You dont have to get sore all the time to prove how tough you are, sit down, please sit down". Then he said "Where'd you get that, from my mom?" and I got to use "I don't know I'm making this up as I go." He only laughed. :p

[Nurhachi1991]

Another one of my favorite Indy lines is " Haha son of a b****"

[loganbush]

"You're old enough to be her fath- her grandfather."

Ok, maybe not.

[Indy~Annie]

my sister loves the nazi's in the movie,and she has a toy of one of them and when she waves the toy in my face for meanness i always say."Nazis,i hate these guys".:p

and last Christmas me and my sister was putting lights on the house roof (she begged me to help her)and we were out there for a really long time (my first time) and i started sniffing and i looked at her and said "ACHOO!! look,now u made me catch a sniffle"the same way he said it.:D he he

[Indy~Annie]

[Nurhachi1991]

Oh the dude that got knocked out by the parascope yeah they need to make a figure of him he could come with the TRU Tank.

[Indy~Annie]

Oh the dude that got knocked out by the parascope yeah they need to make a figure of him he could come with the TRU Tank.

When I drove my friend to the store the other day I had my Yankees cap on so I turned it around and used the classic " Okie dokie Dr. Jones hold on to your potatoes!"

[Indy~Annie]

are u talking about Nuzi? (:p he he)

he said."Americans,they fight like women".:D lol

[Nurhachi1991]

are u talking about Nuzi? (:p he he)

he said."Americans,they fight like women".:D lol



Really thats what he said I always thought he was speaking mumbled German! I learned something new today.

[agent_dork]

I've only found usefulness in quotes such as "I don't know, I'm making it up as I go."

I use that when sneeking out of lunch with my friend jess

Also when we got caught once by this big scarey black guy named looney *YES THATS HIS NAME!* i said "loony why it have to be loony!"

[jdm_jib]

'its not the years, its the mileage'

personally my favorate quote of all the indy films.

[Rhys135]

I was at a fair with a friend (who's a huge LC fan) and his friends, and I had to share a car with one of them on the dodgems. He shouted "eleven o clock" when he saw my friend, which resulted in me quoting Connery's "what happens at eleven o clock?" line :D Sadly he didn't get it, but my friend loved it.

[Indy~Annie]

my sister loves to say "but Indy!!!"

she loves the Sallah quotes.lol

[Nurhachi1991]

" I don't like fast women"

[twlightzone1205]

"Nothing shocks me. I'm a scientist."

[loganbush]

Yeah I'm bringing up an old thread, but we were at Chinese and my friend didn't finish his food. I said "why don't you eat the rest?" He said "I'm not hungry." So of course I said "Eat it. You're insulting them (I pointed to the Chinese lady) and you're embarrassing me." Everyone had a good laugh and I think he ate it.

[Attila the Professor]

I really, really wish I had opportunity to sputter "Jonesy!" all the time.

[Dr.RosenRosen]

I always use the phrase "Too much drinking, Dr.Jones?" from TOD. My friend likes beer more than anything else and when his mind is already in another dimension i like to tease him with the TOD phrase :)

[Ska]

Sometimes when my wife's driving crazily down the road (women can't drive ya' know...hehe), I say, "Hold on to your potatoes!"

[oki9Sedo]

"I should have mailed it to the Marksh Brothersh!"

Thats a difficult one to work into a conversation, it has to be said.

[Mickiana]

"You don't believe me? You will, Doctor Jones. You will become a... true believer!"

"Now, what shall we talk about?"

"We... we are... not thirsty."

And when Belloq makes that little sound twice, pointing with his thumb, telling the Hovitos to go after Indy.

Actually most of what the bad guys say is really quotable.

[Cagefighterkip]

I remixed a line from KOTCS on my girl the other day at walmart.I went in looking for the LC figures when she made some remark about some girls outfit and how cute it was.I simply said,"She has one problem,She isn't you."

She laughed,Rolled her eyes and gave me a hug... :p

lol
i said the same thing to my now exgirlfriend about 2 months ago... we were starting to get into talk about ex's (bad move) and i capped off the conversation w/"all of them had the same problem...", she asked what that was and I just said "they werent you honey."

[Cagefighterkip]

"Nothing shocks me. I'm a scientist."

i used this one post-"Sexdrive" screening, my friends asked me what i thougt and i said it was great, he said he thought it was too shocking and i said that lol

[Marionfan706]

My all time personal Fav: "You cant do this to me, im an american!":up:

[chr0n0naut]

I went in looking for the LC figures when she made some remark about some girls outfit and how cute it was.I simply said,"She has one problem,She isn't you."

She laughed,Rolled her eyes and gave me a hug... :p


Yeah that line does work well. I keep telling my girlfriend that...

"whilst I could go and see other girls, they'd all have the same problem..." and usually get a laugh and a cuddle out of it. :p

[Indy's brother]

"the trouble with you is, you're too used to getting your own way." -Indy to Willie Scott. I rolled that one out in a knock-down drag-out fight with the missus.:mad: She later busted me on it. :o

[muttjones]

"I don't know, I'm making this up as I go." I use that all the time :up:
