Movie Quotes About Food and Such

I just saw There Will Be Blood.
The critics have been creaming over this for weeks, and it was all right, an improvement over Magnolia certainly (since I didn't want to stick my head in an oven once it was over) but it didn't come together well and I felt nothing for the characters or the major plot points. So it's time to have a laugh at its expense.

There is a line at the end that almost put me in tears, quoted by Daniel Day Lewis in his best Dr. Van Nostrand meets Sean Connery accent:

I...DRINK...YOUR...MILKSHAKE!

It was so unexpected and an odd choice of words to say the least, but now I know what I'll be saying every time I go out for ice cream.

Anybody else have a great foodie quote to add? Movies, radio, TV, books, whatever is fine with me, and it doesn't have to be funny, though I do like a good chuckle.

"Sure wish it was your chili I was gettin' fat on." Orson Welles to Marlene Dietrich in "Touch of Evil".

The obvious for the and such of the thread title:

"I'll have what she's having."

Hmm...

Jeffrey Jones in Howard the Duck wrote:She took my egggssssss!

Really, the movie wasn't that bad. Spider-Man 2 it's not, but for comic-based movies from that era, it's kinda fun.

"Remind me to tell you about the time I looked deep into the heart of an artichoke".

Bette Davis in "All about Eve"

"I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti"

My favorite is:

"Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."

And for those of you who haven't seen There Will Be Blood, you can go to this website and upon loading, you will hear the infamous quote as done by the inimitable Daniel Day Lewis:

Note a quote, more a stretch of dialog from Pulp Fiction:

[VINCENT]
You want some bacon?

[JULES]
No, man, I don't eat pork.

[VINCENT]
Are you Jewish ?

[JULES]
No, I ain't Jewish, i just don't dig on swine, that's all.

[VINCENT]
Why not?

[JULES]
Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.

[VINCENT]
But bacon tastes good, pork chops taste good...

[JULES]
Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie,
But I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfuckers.
Pigs sleep and root in shit, that's a filthy animal.
I don't eat nothin' that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own feces.

[VINCENT]
How about a dog? A dog eats its own feces

[JULES]
I don't eat dog either

[VINCENT]
Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?

[JULES]
I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy, but it's definately dirty.
But, dogs got personality, personality goes a long way.

[VINCENT]
So by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filty animal. Is that true?

[JULES]
We' have to be talkin' 'bout one charmin' motherfuckin' pig.
I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?

"I do wish we could chat longer, but I'm having an old friend for dinner. Bye."
Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs

"Old man! You give those dogs one more piece of my food and I'll kick you until you're dead!"
Olympia Dukakis as Rose Castorini in Moonstruck

In Goodfellas, Henry Hill is sent to a prison that offers its "made" patrons quite a bit more than the standard stale bread and water:

In prison, dinner was
always a big thing.
We had a pasta course, then
we had a meat or a fish.
Paulie was doing a year for contempt
and had a wonderful
system for garlic.
He used a razor and sliced it so thin
it would liquefy in
the pan with a little oil.
It's a very good system.

Ah, Blue Velvet:

Frank Booth: Heineken? Fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!

Yeah, that's classic. Pulp Fiction quotes, too.

Here's one that comes up often from The Fellowship of the Ring in my family, when deluged with "I'm HUNGRY!" pleas from nieces and nephews who were fed less than 2 hours ago:

STRIDER: Gentlemen, we do not stop until nightfall.

PIPPIN: What about breakfast?

STRIDER: You've already had it.

PIPPIN: We've had one, yes... but what about Second Breakfast?

MERRY: I don't think he knows about second breakfast, Pip.

PIPPIN: What about Elevenses, Luncheon, Afternoon Tea, dinner... he knows about them, doesn't he?

MERRY: I wouldn't count on it.

"C'mon, make that coffee to go"

Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) to Frankie Carbone (Frank Sivero) after they murder "Stacks" Edwards (Samuel L. Jackson) in Goodfellas, 1990

From Bad Day at Black Rock:

Canteen owner: "We got chilli with beans and chilli without beans."
Spencer Tracy: "What if you don't like chilli?"
Canteen owner: "That's what they made ketchup for."

Five Easy Pieces

"My robe, Antoninus. My taste includes both snails and oysters."

---Laurence Olivier in Spartacus

Jake: Do you have any fried chicken ma'am?
Mrs. Murphy: Best damned chicken in the state.
Jake: Bring me four fried chickens and a Coke.
Mrs. Murphy: You want chicken wings or chicken legs?
Jake: Four fried chickens and a Coke.

That Pulp Fiction dialogue is hilarious! Especially that pie reference.

My second favorite quote this year, from the incredibly disappointing Juno, came from the abortion clinic receptionist who offers Juno a boysenberry-flavored condom:
"It makes [my boyfriend's] junk smell like pie."

I was laughing and crying so hard I thought I would miss the rest of the movie. Unfortunately that didn't happen.* It was especially funny to me because, well, I really like pie. Just the word makes me laugh. Pie. Tee-hee!

*I do like quite a lot of movies, really. I'm not as snobby as my two previous posts make me sound!

This sounds familiar. What's it from?

The only hint that I'll give you is that anyone from in or around Chicago should know the answer to your question.

I believe that's from Blues Brothers.

Geena Davis as Samantha Caine in The Long Kiss Goodnight after completing a furious vegetable chopping session by throwing a tomato in the air and sticking it to a cupboard with a perfectly thrown knife.

Hell, yes! How could you miss it?! Mrs. Murphy's telling of the order to Matt "Guitar" Murphy is priceless as well. Good show. Not to mention Elwood's order of white toast, dry, with no butter.

i actually think it's a requirement. Tis one of the greatest films of all time - i've been battling with the idea of getting the legendary E-L-W-O-O-D prison tat across my knuckles it won't happen.

From one of the worst movies i've seen in a long time:

"My dad tells me the only people that put ketchup on hot dogs are mental patients and Texans." (recent Bad News Bears remake)

"Mrs Murphy" - aka Aretha Franklin.

One of the most overlooked movie for great lines of all kinds:

Bill: We should get tuna.
Stan: Please no more tuna.
Bill: It has protein, we need protein.
Stan: Beans have protein.
Bill: Beans make you fart.
Stan: We got a convertible.

Vinny Gambini: How long was they in the store for?
Mr. Tipton: 5 minutes.
Vinny Gambini: 5 minutes? How do you know? Did you look at your watch?
Mr. Tipton: No.
Vinny Gambini: Oh, oh, oh, you tesitfied earlier that you saw the boys go into the store, and you had just begun to cook your breakfast and you were just getting ready to eat when you heard the shot.
Mr. Tipton: That's right.
Vinny Gambini: So obviously it takes you 5 minutes to cook your breakfast.
Mr. Tipton: That's right.
Vinny Gambini: That's right, so you knew that. You remember what you had?
Mr. Tipton: Eggs and grits.
Vinny Gambini: Eggs and grits. I like grits, too. How do you cook your grits? Do you like them regular, creamy or al dente?
Mr. Tipton: Just regular I guess.
Vinny Gambini: Regular. Instant grits?
Mr. Tipton: No self respectin' Southerner uses instant grits. I take pride in my grits.
Vinny Gambini: So, Mr. Tipton, how could it take you 5 minutes to cook your grits when it takes the entire grit eating world 20 minutes?
Mr. Tipton: I don't know, I'm a fast cook I guess.
Vinny Gambini: I'm sorry I was all the way over here I couldn't hear you did you say you were a fast cook, that's it?
Mr. Tipton: Yeah.
Vinny Gambini: Are we to believe that boiling water soaks into a grit faster in your kitchen than anywhere else on the face of the earth?
Mr. Tipton: I don't know.
Vinny Gambini: Well, I guess the laws of physics cease to exist on top of your stove. Were these magic grits? Did you buy them from the same guy who sold Jack his beanstalk beans?

McClane wrote:One of the most overlooked movie for great lines of all kinds:

Also, "Sure, sure, I heard of grits. I just actually never seen a grit before."

"Now, in honor of our special guest, I've created dinner mon dieu. First, we have franch fries. And franch dressing. And franch bread. And to drink, ta-daaa. Perrooo."
