Mid-day movie quotes: Remembering the ’80s
Posted on April 18th, 2008 – 12:15 PMBy Michael Rand
Since the movie quotes have proven to be quite a hit, we decided to hang on to them until the afternoon this go-round. These are all movies from the 1980s. Enjoy:
1. Lorraine, my density has bought me to you.
2. Son, your ego is writing checks your body can’t cash. You’ve been busted, you lost your qualifications as section leader three times, put in hack twice by me, with a history of high speed passes over five air control towers, and one admiral’s daughter!
3. Yeah, and we’re not going to fall for a banana in the tailpipe.
4. Ray, when someone asks you if you’re a god, you say “YES”!
5. The space goes down, down baby, down, down the roller coaster. Sweet, sweet baby, sweet, sweet, don’t let me go. Shimmy, shimmy, cocoa pop. Shimmy, shimmy, rock. Shimmy, shimmy, cocoa pop. Shimmy, shimmy, rock. I met a girlfriend — a triscuit. She said, a triscuit — a biscuit. Ice cream, soda pop, vanilla on the top. Ooh, Shelly’s out, walking down the street, ten times a week. I read it. I said it. I stole my momma’s credit. I’m cool. I’m hot. Sock me in the stomach three more times.
6. The toy division has come up with a new doll idea to go along with our children’s clothing line. We call them Melon Patch Kids. Now, the competition exploits the notion that their dolls are orphans. The Melon Patch Kids are not orphans … they’re abandoned! We think it’s a winner.
7. Of all the guys who I thought were gonna make it, Hightower was the one. I mean, if all the cops looked like him there’d be no crime at all.
8. My little brother got his arm stuck in the microwave. So my mom had to take him to the hospital. My grandma dropped acid this morning, and she freaked out. She hijacked a busload of penguins. So it’s sort of a family crisis. Bye!
9. Will milk be made available to us?
10. Don’t mind her. She’s still upset because somebody dropped a house on her sister.

Rodney Dangerfield’s scene with Sam Kinneson is one of the greatest moments in cinematic history.
that’s everything except #9: Better Off Dead. Well done, folks.
Is that the right answer, Ben? I know that’s the popular version of what happened, and a lot of people would like to believe it. I wish I could. But at 1:03 p.m. I was there. I wasn’t hoping I was right. I was up to my knees, slugging it out with Charlie while you were back here doing drugs and listening to {redacted} Beatles albums! Oh!
Why did Rodney Dangerfield always play the rich jerk? For a guy that “got no respect” he sure was liked in his movies.
Uh, Dick…excuse me, Rich… you’re wrong re: #9.
Error! I meant #8 is the only one you didn’t get. That one is Better off Dead. I now know better than to mess with AZGG on her Molly Ringwald flicks.
The Brat Pack thanks you for your correction.
