Ghostbusters has many good quotes (e.g., no dick), but here's a few that I've actually used in conversation:
"Don't cross the streams"
"It would be bad"
"Yes, have some."
"I don't have any Tylenol, but I do have some acetylsalicylic acid."
"Listen... do you smell something?"
"Where do the stairs go?" "They go up"
The last one usually isn't quoted directly. Rather some variation, such as "I wonder what's behind that door." "A room."
- ghiotion 19y ago"Dogs and cat's living together... mass hysteria!"
- mattmaroon 19y agoHa. That is a good one.
- mattmaroon 19y agoIt seems a little too generous to attribute "It would be bad." to Ghostbusters. Or the last one, which is basically Vaudeville. You might as well say you're quoting Earth Girls Are Easy every time you say the word "the", because it's in that movie at least once.
- hobbs 19y agoVaudeville: True enough. In fact, I can only use that around close friends who are already familiar with the original quote. If I said something like that to anyone else, they'd think I'm being an ass. It would be bad: You have to use it in the proper context as a gross understatement. As in every atom in your body exploding at the speed of light would be bad. True, the same line has been used as an understatement in other movies, but the Ghostbusters instance sticks out for some reason.
