Favorite lines from this movie (everybody play along!)

I love flicks that are heavily quotable, and Dr. Strangelove is definitely one of them! Here's a couple of my favorite lines from the movie:

Pres. Merkley: "Do you think I'm just calling you to say hello, Dmitri?....Of course I like talking to you, Dimitri, of course I like saying hello...Not just now, but anytime!"

Major Kong: "(listing items in survival kit, pills, money, etc) Shoot, a fella could have a good time in Vegas with all that stuff!"

Pres. Merklye: "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here this is the WAR ROOM!"

And the topper of it all:

Dr. Strangelove: "MEIN FUHRER! I CAN WALK!"

Keep the thread going, give us some quotes!

General "Buck" Turgidson: Well, I, uh, don't think it's quite fair to condemn a whole program because of a single slip-up, sir.

Buck Turgidson: "Where's my shorts?"

Major Kong: "If we was flying any lower, we'd need sleigh bells on this thing!"

Colonel "Bat" Guano: " You don't think I'd go into combat with loose change in my pocket, do you?"

General Ripper: "It looks like we're in a shooting war."
Group Captain Mandrake: "Oh, hell!"

Any line Gen. Ripper says about essence or bodily fluids is hysterical.

I couldn't agree more.

RIPPER: I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Also hilarious -

RIPPER: Women sense my power and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake - but I do deny them my essence.

"Why of course it isn't only physical. I deeply respect you as a human being. Someday I'm going to make you Ms. Buck Turgidson!"

"That's it, ol boy! Water on the back of the neck and the code."

"Now you just take it easy Group Captain! and please make me a drink of grain alcohol and rainwater ..."

".. and through the purity and essence of our .. natural fluids"

" .. A VERY LOWWWW ORDER OF PROBABILITY!!!"

"You bet your sweets .. Mr. Commie! ..."

"Mandrich?"
"Yes, Jack?"
"Have you ever seen a commie drink a glass of water? ..."
"Vodka, that's what they drink isn't it? Never, water? .."

"... Look at the Big Board!! they're gettin' ready to clobber us!!!"

"Jack, tell me Jack? when did you firt develop this theory?"
"Well, I first became aware of it Mandrich, during the physical act of love,
Yes, a profound sense of fatigue .. a feeling of emptiness ......
women sense my power and seek the life essence.." (funniest scene)

Major Kong: Goldie, how many times have I told you, I don't want no horsing around on the airplane?

One of the best lines ever. Colonel Kong, awoken from his nap while piloting his B-52 suddenly has to deal with the realities of nuclear combat, toe to toe with the Russkies.

"He killed sixteen Czechoslovakians. Guy was an interior decorator."

Colonel Bat Guano: "I think you're some kind of deviated prevert. I think General Ripper found out about your preversion, and that you were organizing some kind of mutiny of preverts. Now MOVE!"

Easily "Our source was the New York Times". Nothing superfluous about that line. And yes, I'm aware that the movie was going for a superfluous approach.

Another one was "no more than ten to twenty million killed".

Maj. Kong: Yee-haw! Yahoo! Wooo woo!

My ignore list is much too long for a sig line.
