What's your style?
My style? You could call it the art of fighting without fighting.

From an underrated movie.

Sam Diamond: Wouldn't you know, out of gas.
Tess Skeffington: I saw a station about five miles back, Sam.
Sam Diamond: [hands her a gas can] I want you to know I'm gonna be waitin' for ya, baby.

The last time that I trusted a dame was in Paris in 1940. She said she was going out to get a bottle of wine. Two hours later, the Germans marched into France. - Sam Diamond

Milo Perrier: What do you make of all of this, Wang?
Sidney Wang: Is confusing.
Lionel Twain: [from moose head] IT! IT is confusing! Say your ******n pronouns!
Sidney Wang: Oh, there, voice come from cow on wall...
Lionel Twain: Moose, moose you imbecile!

Lionel Twain: I'm the greatest, I'm number one!
Sam Diamond: To me, you look like number two, know what I mean?
Dora Charleston: What DOES he mean, Miss Skeffington?
Tess Skeffington: I'll tell you later. It's disgusting.

Sam Diamond: That was then, this is now, and nobody knows what tomorrow will be. That's the way things are, whether we like it or not.
Tess Skeffington: Oh, Sam, I worry about you sometimes. I really do.

Sam Diamond: Now, if one of you gentlemen would be so kind as to give my lady friend here a glass of cheap white wine, I'm going down the hall to find the can. I talk so much sometimes, I forget to go.

Sam Diamond: You say you know who's going to get it?
Lionel Twain: Intimately.
Inspector Milo Perrier: And you know how the crime is to be committed?
Lionel Twain: Definitely.
Sidney Wang: And exactly what time murder to take place?
Lionel Twain: *The* murder. Precisely.
Dora Charleston: Well, I know it's none of my business, but doesn't that mean that you're the murderer, Mr. Twain?

Dick Charleston: Another diversion. He gives us meaningless clues to confuse us, dangles red herrings before our eyes, bedazzles us with bizarre banalities, while all the time precious seconds are ticking away towards a truly terrible murder still to come.
Sam Diamond: You're good, Charleston. You're not my kind of cop, but you're smart and you smell good. You're not a pansy, I know that, but what the hell are ya?
Dick Charleston: Classy, I suppose.

Sam Diamond: I was in disguise in disguise in disguise. You work hard for fifty bucks a day in this racket.

Sam Diamond: Maybe I'm just a patsy being set up take the fall, but I'm not falling for any o'yous, you understand?
Tess Skeffington: Not even me, Sam?
Sam Diamond: Why don't you fall in love with the Jap kid and get off my back?

A Bridge Too Far (1977)

[Carlyle has asked to see Frost before he dies]
Lt. Col. John Frost: Hello, Harry.
Major Harry Carlyle: Hello. Johnny.
Lt. Col. John Frost: You know, Harry; I always wanted to ask you, but didn't because I knew you so very much wanted me to and I didn't want to give you the satisfaction; but why do you always carry that umbrella?
Major Harry Carlyle: Bad memory. Never could remember the password. Knew no Jerry would carry one. Had to prove I was an Englishman, you see.

and:

[an SS officer is approaching under a white flag]
Major Harry Carlyle: Rather interesting development, sir.
[to the German]
Major Harry Carlyle: That's far enough! We can hear you from there!
SS Panzer Officer: My general says there is no point in continuing this fighting! He wishes to discuss terms of a surrender!
Major Harry Carlyle: Shall I answer him, sir?
Lt. Col. John Frost: Tell him to go to hell.
Major Harry Carlyle: We haven't the proper facilities to take you all prisoner! Sorry!
SS Panzer Officer: [confused] What?
Major Harry Carlyle: We'd like to, but we can't accept your surrender! Was there anything else?
[German officer walks off]
Lt. Col. John Frost: Well, that's that.

Gene Hackman as Polish General Sosabowski also had some memorable lines in A Bridge Too Far. Here he expresses skepticism at the whole plan.

General Browning: Is something troubling you, General Sosabowski?
General Sosabowsk: I've said nothing.
General Browning: Precisely. Your silence is the thunderous.
General Sosabowski: General Browning, I am a Pole, considered by some to be smart. If that is so, it makes me member of true minority group. Minority groups are more comfortable in silence.
General Browning: Really? I should have thought the opposite was true. But you do disapprove?
General Sosabowski: I am thrilled that your great Field Marshal Montgomery has devised such a plan. I promise you, I'll be properly ecstatic if it works.
General Browning: When it works.
General Sosabowski: Of course, when it works.

W.C. Fields and Me (1976)
based on the memoirs of Carlotta Monti, W.C. Fields' longtime mistress.

IRS Agent 1: Among other things, Mr. Fields, you have listed here a $1,000 deduction for a... "Home for Peruvian Bastards." Why?
W.C. Fields*: Well that's because I gave to the Brazilian bastards last year so I figured that it was the Peruvian bastards' turn this time.
IRS Agent 1: We cannot find such a charity listed, Mr. Fields.
W.C. Fields: Well if you had a home for Peruvian bastards, would you advertise it?
IRS Agent 2: You took a deduction for thirty-two cases of gin and whiskey.
W.C. Fields: That's right! And I drank every drop of it! I'll not be accused of dishonesty!
IRS Agent 2: Why is it a business deduction?
W.C. Fields: Because I am a comedian and when I drink I'm funny. Root beer is cheaper but I don't get half the laughs.


W.C. Fields: Let me ask you a question. What's the government tax on a bottle of whiskey?
IRS Agent 1: Thirty cents.
W.C. Fields: Thirty cents. Do you realize that if I gave up drinking you two imbeciles would be out of a job?

I love WC Fields.

In "International House", Peggy Hopkins Joyce sees a litter of mixed colored, mixed breed kitties, and says, "I wonder what their parents were." WC responds: "Careless, my little dovecake, careless."

Peggy also says, "I'm sitting on something!" WC responds: "I lost mine in the stock market."

"Well, we found this mouse in a bottle of YOUR beer, eh? Like we was at
a party, and a friend of ours, a cop, had some and he puked. And he
said 'come here and get free beer,' or he'll press charges." -Doug McKenzie

It's not a movie, it's a TV - series, but today in Boardwalk Empire I heard the Commodore sayin' to James Darmody: You’ll be judged by what you succeed at, boy, not by what you attempt.”
This just made me think...
