Give me some classic generic lines from old movies...

Examples:

Secret Agent: "You have interfered with my plans for the last time, Mr Bond."

Gangster: "Here's a C-note. Get yourself some fresh duds. I like my boys to look sharp."

Japanese Monster: "No, I tell you! He's not our enemy! Mothragog is really our friend!"

Western: "I'm tellin' you for the last time, Ringo...this town ain't big enough for the two of us."

50's Sci Fi: "Professor--are you telling us that they might be...*intelligent*?"

What did you expect? "Welcome, sonny"? "Make yourself at home"? "Marry my daughter"? You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.

“Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.”
