Identify the movie quote

Star Wars A New Hope

And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

I can see the (animated) scene in my head, but what is the movie? Isn't it a short that precedes a full-length feature? This one is killing me...

Incorrect, sir.

(at least, as far as I know, I was quoting The Conversation.)

Anyway, Office Space is the other one.

"You get a job, you become the job."

Well it is a generic quote,...you could argue that the entire line isn't quoted though.

 

[Deluge Of Sound]

You sure you quoted the right guy just then?

 

[NJL]

"I wish I knew how to quit you."

 

[warwick.hoy]

BAH,...

I'm durnk and confounded (that's not a movie quote).

 

[bass12]

"Put the pick in there, Pete, and turn it round - real neat"

 

[Pilgrim]

Actually, it was Ghostbusters. And the other was, of course, Star Wars.

A true classic:

"That'll be the day."

Well, it's John Wayne but I don't remember which film the line comes from. The Alamo?

How about:

"General, eh? That to me is the bull****!"

 

[king_biscuit]

"He was a good cat."

 

[Jimmy Bones]

The Quiet Man.

When Squire Danaher and Sean Thornton are doing their back and forth over who'd beat who. Then again, that line is used in several Duke movies.

Here's one:

"As God as my witness, I'll never go hungry again!"

Deluge got it,...Office Space.

I think you may be thinking of an animated short that made it to Liquid Television on MTV pre Beavis and Butthead.

 

[Pilgrim]

EDIT: It's best known not for the Quiet Man, although you are right, it was used in that film!

It's most famous from one of the John Ford westerns - The Searchers - and the line was repeated more than once.

It inspired the Buddy Holly song.

And Jimmy, the hungry quote is from Gone With The Wind.

Try this one, if you like the classics:

"When a man’s partner’s killed he’s supposed to do something about it."

This is Gone with the Wind

Yes, that Liquid Television short was the one I was thinking of.

 

[Pilgrim]

G'night, guys....

 

[Deluge Of Sound]

Pilgrim's is from The Maltese Falcon.

How about this:

"Pay attention, we're gonna ask questions later!"

 

[bass12]

Night, night, sleep tight (and all that)...

"Come quietly or there will be... trouble"

 

[Deluge Of Sound]

And that's from Robocop. A true classic

 

[bass12]

And that's from Robocop. A true classic

You got it!

How about:

"Here's to swimmin' with bow-legged women"

 

[Deluge Of Sound]

Jaws.

Any guesses on mine yet?
