My all-time favorite put-down heard in a film. I hope I get a chance to use it someday:

TCHAIKOVSKY: It's only your ignorance that keeps you tolerable.

Richard Chamberlain in "The Music Lovers"

At this late date (and forgive me if anybody else mentioned this in the many previous pages), let me add my favorite and perhaps the ONLY good line from PETE 'N TILLIE when Walter Matthau refers to the Rene Auberjonois character--

"Jimmy Twitchell is a cultural Robin Hood--he steals from the witty and gives to the dull."

This is somewhat similar to Sorrell Booke in Sidney Lumet's BYE BYE BRAVERMAN referring to the departed title character as "A second rate mind of the first order."

This has probably been covered, but I can't read thru the whole thread...

Kng Kong (1933)
Denham: Oh, you have gone soft on her, eh? I've got enough troubles without a love affair to complicate things. Better cut it out, Jack.
Driscoll: Love affair! You think I'm gonna fall for any dame?
Denham: I've never known it to fail: some big, hard-boiled egg gets a look at a pretty face and bang, he cracks up and goes sappy.
Driscoll: Now who's goin' sappy? Listen, I haven't run out on ya, have I?
Denham: No, you're a pretty tough guy, but if Beauty gets you, ya...Huh, I'm going right into a theme song here.
Driscoll: Say, what are you talkin' about?
Denham: It's the idea of my picture. The Beast was a tough guy too. He could lick the world. But when he saw Beauty, she got him. He went soft. He forgot his wisdom and the little fellas licked him. Think it over, Jack.

"But shouldn't I stop making movies and do something that counts, like-like helping blind people or becoming a missionary or something?"

"Let me tell you, you're not the missionary type. You'd never last. And-and incidentally, you're also not Superman; you're a comedian. You want to do mankind a real service? Tell funnier jokes."

Complete and utter frustration unmasked during the making of The Prince And The Showgirl -
