Favorite quotes?

I'll start:

"Well, which is it young fella? You want I should freeze or get down on the ground? Mean to say, iffen I freeze, I can't rightly drop. And iffen I drop, I'm a gonna be in motion."

I always thought this movie was ok, with a couple great scenes, but also terribly overrated. Oh well, and I figure the best quote would have to be:

Son, you got a panty on your head.

Nathan Arizona Sr.: That's your forte, ain't it? Chasing down crooks and Commies and shite. That's your whole God-damn raison d'etre, ain't it?


Just like it because it's a typical of then Coens to pepper their dialogue with slightly heightened language even though their characters are often helpless and colloquial.

"Does it make any funny shapes?"

"No, 'less round is funny"



That movie has a ton of awesome quotes.

I forgot about that one. That's my favorite line in the movie.

Glen: How many Polacks it take to screw up a lightbulb?
H.I.: I don't know, Glen. One?
Glen: Nope, it takes three.
[Glen laughs. H.I. doesn't]
Glen: Wait a minute, I told it wrong. Here, I'm startin' over: How come it takes three Polacks to screw up a lightbulb?
H.I.: I don't know, Glen.
Glen: 'Cause they're so darn stupid!


H.I.: Edwina's insides were a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase.


Evelle: Mighty fine cereal flakes, Mrs. McDonough.


Ed McDonnough: We finally go out with decent people and you break his nose. That ain't too funny, Hi.
H.I.: His kids seemed to think it was funny.


Evelle: I got me some baby grub, baby wipes, diapers, them disposable kind. I also got a package of balloons.
Gale: They blow up into funny shapes and all?
Evelle: No, just circular.

I never realized until a couple of years ago that I could damn near recite the entire movie. From watching it like 7,000 times in my early childhood I guess. It was locked in my subconscious and it just started flowing out of me one day.

I still use "fy-ance".


Ed McDonnough: [sobbing] Turn to the right.
H.I.: What's the matter, Ed?
Ed McDonnough: My "fy-ance" left me.
H.I.: [narrating] She said her fiancé had run off with a student cosmetologist, who knew how to ply her feminine wiles.
H.I.: [out loud] That sumbitch. You tell him, I think he's a damn fool, Ed. You tell him I said so - H.I. McDonnough. If he wants to discuss it, he knows where to find me: in the Maricopa County Maximum Security Correctional Facility For Men State Farm, Road Number 31, Tempe, Arizona! I'LL BE WAITIN'! I'll be waitin'.
