Say What? > Delivered! (Best dialogues delivered on the silverscreen)
We all dream of having the perfect comeback, or the perfect thing to say in a situation. Usually the perfect comeback comes to us after the moment is over, and we wish we had said it at the right time. Movie stars get to live this little fantasy of mine, and sometimes their one-liners are pure genius. Here's a little tribute to geniuses behind the scenes who make the actors look good! Feel free to add any dialogues you think rocked the box!

From a few good men (Jessep: Jack Nicholson, Kaffee: Tom Cruise)
Jessep: You want answers?
Kaffee (Tom Cruise): I think I'm entitled to them.
Jessep: You want answers?
Kaffee: I want the truth!
Jessep: You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall.
We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!

The Genii in Aladdin...
"Three wishes - no substitutes, exchanges or refunds."
"Rule Number Three: I can't bring people back from the dead. It's not a pretty picture, and I don't like doing it!"
"It's all part and parcel of the whole genii gig: phenomenal cosmic powers, itty bitty living space."
"It never fails - you get in the bath and there's a rub at the lamp!"

From The Matrix: by AGENT SMITH
I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I've realized that you are not actually mammals.
Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment. But you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area.
There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus.

Laura Linney (Mac) in Kinsey on being asked by Peter Saarsgard (Clyde) and Liam Neeson (Kinsey) what she thought of about having sex with Peter's character replies:
"Oh, I think I might like that"
The awkwardness of the moment is dispelled by that one line...memorable.
