Good enough for me. You're welcome.

 

Downey jr to Rourke. 

Something like

"You're alive because of my father"

"No, I'm alive because..."

Or even:

 

Ivan Vanko: My father is the reason you're alive. 
Tony Stark: No, the reason I'm alive is because you made a shot, and you missed. 

 

Although i'm not sure about the "made" bit. May deserve another viewing...

Any time.

In future, IMDB is your friend. Although i'm still not certain they've got that quote right.

 

And I know how annoying it can be. I kid you not, i (quite recently) got in touch with an ex-girlfriend of seven years ago to settle a movie quote argument. (The other hatchets, however, remain unburied...)

Yeah, thing is, far as I could see, nothing came up on Google, untill i knew where it was from, then, when i entered the quote and name of th efilm, the imdb entry for the quote came up.

 

But then i guess ther emay be ways of searchign the imdb that I'm not familiar with.

It can be hugely frustrating.  I remember being half cut in the pub and a few of us were trying to remember the ET theme tune, was driving me crazy.  I ended up calling directory enquireys and asking them, they were great sports.  I could hear in the background...

 

'Hey, whats the theme tune to ET?'

'Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh...'

'No you dumb ass, thats jurasic park!'

 

Made my day Smile  ( I should add this is before phones had youtube )

I thought you wanted film quotes.

This was said by Robert De Nero (Travis Bickle) in the film Taxi Driver. It was voted number 10 in the top 100 movie quotes, by the American Film Institute.

It was an attempt to make you smile, and enter into the spirit of your thread..... not appear aggressive.
