"Fool. Your fare is the only thing stopping me from breaking your face."
Ok, the last quote didn't give it away, but it was obviously something modern and city-fied, for some value of city. So, this probably isn't Charon or a ferryman working for an obulus or something. So, a modern fare.
So, if I think of a modern fare- not a ticket, not a reservation- that limits the possibilities. So, maybe this quote here isn't said with a dry British snark like I was hearing, but something US.
“Bruce Lee ain't dead you know. They got him krytonized down in Chatsworth, he's jammed in a silo and he's frozenhard as a carp. And they're gonna melt him down as soon as the economy gets better.”
I figured you had it with the Bruce Lee reference, but I wasn't sure.
And I figured someone would connect "pity" and "fool."
"I see Bruce Lee" was, IIRC, the last thing that guy said on the radio before he was grabbed. When the cavalry came to the rescue, they shined flood lights like the police. "Yo, tell them we're Batman!"
"Carefui, careful. Every one of them has a mother."
"It's a low neighborhood, full of rumpots. They're used to curious sights, which they attribute to alcoholic delusions. "
"Excuse me, I'll slip into something more comfortable while your cocoa is warming. "
" This curtain which separates our countries is so foolish. If we could just contrive some way of getting more deeply involved with each other. " "Oh, da. Da, we must search for such a method."
"Carefui, careful. Every one of them has a mother."

"Disposing of pre-atomic submarines to persons who don't even leave their full addresses... Good day, Admiral! "
"What weighs six ounces, sits in a tree and is very dangerous?" "A sparrow with a machine gun!" "Yes, of course."
Didn't see your response, George. It is not Beavis and Butthead. It's older than that. Not much older in geological terms, but in movie terms, quite some time.
If you were born when this movie came out, you could not drink legally when Beavis and Butthead Do America came out. Not legally anyway. Or smoke for that matter, though that didn't stop a lot of people.

* Food for thought * Mostly for myself, however. I see in this thread a lot of movies that are comedies, completely off the wall, off the cuff, and slapstick kind of movies, and there's nothing wrong with that, but I don't often recognize them. ["I tend to go with the heavier guys"] quote from Leon: The Professional and that is why I don't often know them. I am mostly into more dramatic kinds of movies. It's not that I don't have a good sense of humor. I enjoy comedy films. I just don't go out of my way to watch many of them.
However, this is a very well known line from " Porkys".

Crimson Tide?

I'm guessing that WW won't mind my adding a clue: the movie starred Danny Kaye. George

Once again, you posted a quote from a movie, where you could have posted 1/2 the script without me getting it, except for the one quote you posted. This was from early on in "Red Dawn."

Ok, take a look at the last quote. Close your eyes. Hear it.
Whose voice do you hear?
If you get that right, 95% chance you get the movie.
This movie was at least as good as Traxx. Probably a little better.
LOTS of well known actors, almost if not all B-list.

I've never seen "Voyage of the Damned." Its title seemed aligned with at least a couple of the quotes.
I don't "hear" any particular voice with the lines you accentuated. Almost sounds like a mom with her ne'er-do-well son.

So, maybe I'll say Batman, or do I see Bruce Lee?

Ok, that clinches it, since I can hear Gary Busey saying that last one.
The one who said "Fool!" was Mister T, and this movie was "D C CAB".

They all sounded naggingly famililiar. I got it at pre-atomic submarines.
Then you had to go and give it away.

This should be easy:
"Hello. Hi. I'm lookin' for a friend of mine. He's supposed to be there."
"What's his name?"
"His name's Michael Hunt... uh, Mike, Mike. Yes, Mike."
...
"Is Mike Hunt here? Is Mike Hunt here? Has anybody seen Mike Hunt?"
"Practically everybody in town, from what I hear."

*thinks* That prank made it over a loudspeaker.
Had to be a movie I saw decades ago, that was risque enough to pull this joke. Variations on this joke were popular in the 1980s.
This was "LASSIE", wasn't it?

No, but she was in it. You know why they call her Lassie, right?

Didn't see your response, George. It is not Beavis and Butthead. It's older than that. Not much older in geological terms, but in movie terms, quite some time.

If you were born when this movie came out, you could not drink legally when Beavis and Butthead Do America came out. Not legally anyway. Or smoke for that matter, though that didn't stop a lot of people.
