1. “I don’t mind if you don’t like my manners. I don’t like them myself. They’re pretty bad. I grieve over them long winter evenings.” – The Big Sleep (another good one from The Big Sleep is: “She tried to sit in my lap while I was standing up.”)
2. “I was misinformed.” – Casablanca
3. “I hope they don’t hang you, precious, by that sweet neck. Yes, angel, I’m gonna send you over.” – The Maltese Falcon
4. “Ahh, but the strawberries that’s… that’s where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with… geometric logic… that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist…” – The Caine Mutiny
5. “I stick my neck out for nobody.” – Casablanca
Wasn’t it Bogie who said, “We don’t need no stinkin’ passports!” in “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre” or “They Drive by Night”? Hope so–that line has been adapted so often it should be a chart topper for any iconoclast.
