“Ned Ryerson! I have missed you.”
The scene: Phil encounters Ned on the street and is so happy to see him that he hugs him indefinitely. In one of the movie scenes, completely unannounced, Murray decides to say, “Ned Ryerson! I have missed you,” and hugs him for a very long time.
He continues to say, “I don’t know where you’re headed. Can you call in sick?” Tobolowsky was thrown entirely off and looked awkward; he got away as quickly as possible. When the scene was over and the director re-watched it, he decided to leave it since Murray had carried it out so well.
Mrs. Doubtfire
“Do you want some cream?”
The scene: Mrs. Doubtfire’s face is dripping with cream that falls into a social worker’s coffee. "Mrs. Doubtfire" will forever remain in our memories as one of the funniest, most original movies ever, (thanks in part to Robin Williams). It’s packed with hilarious scenes throughout.
For example, when the cream starts dripping into the social worker’s cup of tea, Mrs. Doubtfire says, “Do you want some cream?” This line was utterly improvised because the set lights caused the actual melting of the cream! This movie is accurate and will always be a household name across the United States.
Edward Scissorhands
“He didn’t wake up.”
The scene: Peg asks Edward where his father is. Tim Burton's classic was "Edward Scissorhands" being anyone but Johnny Depp. For example, in the scene where Peg (Diane Wiest) asks Ed where his father is, he innocently replies, “He didn’t wake up.”
The original script read, “He died,” but Depp thought this made Edward look too guilty because people would assume he murdered his dad by mistake. Also, Depp took out almost 90% of Edward’s dialogue because he thought it made the character appear shyer and more innocent. Or maybe Depp just didn’t want to memorize that many lines.
Weird Science (1985)
“How about a nice greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray?”
The scene: Chet finds out his little brother and his friend are drunk. In the 1985 John Hughes sci-fi film "Weird Science," scientists use computers to create a stunning woman.
But, unfortunately, the two high school geeks have a nemesis – Chet (Bill Paxton), Wyatt’s older brother. So, in one scene where Chet finds the kids trashed and one of them feeling queasy from the drinking, he says, “How about a nice greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray?” Paxton revealed that his father used to say this to him and his brother when they’d been drinking too much.
The Godfather
"Leave the gun, take the cannoli."
The scene: Two men have been sent to kill somebody after they attempt to overpower their boss. They leave once the deed is done. The three-time Oscar- winning “The Godfather” film is still considered a classic, even after all these years.
The movie was released in the early 70s but is still reminisced about today. Richard Castellano, who played Peter Clemenza in this film, is the guy who could not resist saying this unforgettable line. But, it’s a good thing he did, because it curated one of the most popular quotes from one of the most popular films of all time.
