2."Well, my name is Jim, but most people call me...........Jim."
"Ok, Jim. Since you are my guest and I am your host, what are your pleasures? What do you like to do?"
"Oh, I dunno. Play chess. Screw."
"Let's play chess!"

3."Uh-oh, Bart. I think Mongo here's taken a liking to you."
"Huh-huh, naw, Mongo straight."

4."All right. We'll give some land to the *beep* and the Chinks. But we don't want the Irish!" - spoken by the Irish mayor of Rock Ridge.

{7."The sheriff is Near(bell rings loudly)." "What did he say?"}

I think he was trying to say "The sheriff is a n#gger", not near.

One of my favorite lines:

Taggart: The surveyors say they may have run into some quicksand up ahead. Better check it out.
Lyle: Okay, I'll send down a team of horses to check out the ground.
Taggart: *Horses*?
[hits Lyle's head]
Taggart: We can't afford to lose any horses, you dummy! Send over a couple of n#ggers.

It's funny that on the message board, IMDB censors the word n#ggers, but on the quotes page, it's there uncensored.

How about THE most often quoted line of the movie?

"Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!"

[–] eagle-ri 11 years ago

I know a drummer whose last name is Badger. Someone mentioned him and I said "Badger? We don't need no stinking Badger". I got a laugh.

Bart: I am so talented--and they are so DUMB.
I likes to keep my audience riveted.

Jim: just think, in another twenty five years you'll be able to shake their hand in broad daylight!
Bart: I'm not gonna hold my breath.

Lily: Is that a ten gallon hat or are you just enjoying the show?
They start with Byron and Shelley, then jump on your belly and bust your balloons OOOO

I have many more in this movie--one of my favorite movies of all time :-)

All right. We'll give some land to the N#ggers and the Ch#nks. But we don't want the Irish!" - spoken by the Irish mayor of Rock Ridge.

I laughed my Irish ass off at that one.

The little old lady's greeting to Bart, "Up yours N#gger!"

Not lines as such, but the scene as Bart is riding through the desert (with his Gucci saddle bag) and gets a high five from Basie complete with his big band always cracks me up and my personal favourite the, Yiddish Indian Chief.

[–] morticia021358-1 15 years ago

RE: The Yiddish Indian Chief-

Yiddish Indian Chief (Looking over the covered wagon containing a young Bart [played by Rodney Allen Rippey] and his parents as the traveled separately from the rest of the wagon train): Cop a walk!....

The Family: Thank you!

Yiddish Indian Chief (As the leave): ....Wooo! they're darker than us!

Great movie, I never get tired of watching it.

Thank you, modianos; considering how far behind the US is from an educational standpoint compared to other industrial countries, one would think it would be a matter of national pride to present better written, better thought out commentaries (don't even get me started about spelling and sentence structure).

[–] alanwhit 13 years ago

I love the lyrics to 'I'm Tired' ... especially 'they read you Byron and Shelley and jump on your belly and bust your balloons!' ... very clever. Years ago I used to have an LP called 'Mel Brooks Music'. You can hear Brooks' distinctive voice on the soundtrack ... 'Can't you see she's tired" etc. That song used to get as much airplay as Led Zepplin and ZZ Top at some of our college parties in the mid 1970s. Pretty sad, heh?

'Do you like Smashing Pumpkins? Sure, we could do that!'

Anything said by the reverend:

(Holding up the BIble) "I beg you to remember this good book and what it says!"
(Townspeople blow it away)
"Son, you're on your own."

When they are getting ready to build the fake Rock Ridge:
"Lord, do we have the strength to complete this mighty task in just one night -- or are we just jerking off?"

I also liked when they go to finish off the bad guys in the fake Rock Ridge, in all the mayhem, you see the reverend kneeing a bad guy in the groin, then looking to Heaven and saying, "forgive me, Lord!"

It's been a while, I may not have all the exact words.

That line is my favorite way of describing Tea Party voters. And to anyone who is offended by that, feel free to use it to describe pinkos like me.
