Default Great Lines In Movies

My family loves movies, to the point that we have whole conversations just quoting dialogue back and forth. I thought it might be fun to share some favorites. I am going to dodge the Dirty Harry obvious ones (which I like anyway) and will start with something a bit more obscure:

1) "I want to sacrifice myself on the altar of your genius." - Lady Carolyn Lamb to Lord Byron in "Lady Carolyn Lamb." I saw it in high school and have been looking for that situation ever since.

2) "If I'm not back in 10 minutes, sublet my apartment." - Woody Allen's character to his friend in "Play It Again, Sam." The immediate and complete rejection that followed was much more like high school than Byron's life.

3) feel free to add to the list ...
