The set-up: After McGill breaks away from a deep south chain gang, his leadership of the escape party is questioned by a fellow escapee. "Who elected you leader of this outfit?"
The put-down: "Well, Pete, I figured it should be the one with the capacity for abstract thought."

Forgot about The Rock one. Not really a putdown but still a decent inspiring line. I remember seeing it the first time. I couldn't believe James Bond was swearing!

I seem to remember reading that R. Lee Ermey got the job as Gunnery Sgt. Hartman as he really had been a US Marine and was able to swear for 10 minutes without repeating himself and half way during his rant Kubrick had to ask someone what a "reach around" was.

I would rather watch "Beautician And The Beast". I would rather listen to Fran Drescher for eight hours than have to listen to Michael McDonald. Nothin' against him, but if I hear "Yah Mo B There" one more time, "Yah Mo" burn this place to the ground.

Big Trouble In Little China - Gracie Law: "I'd go with you but..." Jack Burton: "I know, there's a problem with your face!" Classic! By the way, its not Snipe's character who says the 'can' line from White Men Cant Jump, its his skinny pal.
