50 Greatest Arnie One-Liners

Bad Taste

The One-Liner: “Stick around.” ( Predator )

If It Was Longer:
“Stick around. It was slice knowing you. It’s time to blade you farewell. You’re a sight for sword eyes.” etc

Bye, Then

The One-Liner: “Hasta la vista, baby.” ( Terminator 2 )

If It Was Longer: “Hasta la vista, baby. Adios, amigo. Hasta luego, buddy. Uh, buh-bye.”

Getting Philosophical

The One-Liner: Mongol General: “Conan, what is best in life?”
Conan: “To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women.” ( Conan The Barbarian )

If It Was Longer: “To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women. Also, Pizza Hut’s pretty good.”

Words Hurt

The One-Liner: “You're one ugly motherfucker.” ( Predator )

If It Was Longer:
“You’re one ugly motherfucker. You’re so ugly you have to sneak up on your mirror. You’re so ugly you give Freddy Krueger nightmares. You’re so ugly…” etc

On The Rocks

The One-Liner: “Consider that a divorce.” ( Total Recall )

If It Was Longer:
“Consider that a divorce. That’s for every time I had to put the seat down, every time you made me pick my washing up off the floor and EVERY TIME YOU MADE ME WATCH PRETTY WOMAN.”

In-Flight Nap

The One-Liner: “Don’t disturb my friend, he’s dead tired.” ( Commando )

If It Was Longer: “Don’t disturb my friend, he’s dead tired. Because he’s dead. Damn, I wasn’t supposed to say that. Now I’ve got to kill you, too.”

Culinary Chaos

The One-Liner: “You should not drink and bake.” ( Raw Deal )

If It Was Longer:
“You should not drink and bake. Unless you’re Nigella Lawson. In which case you can do whatever you want, really.”

Spine-Ripping

The One-Liner: “I live to see you eat that contract… but I hope you leave enough room for my fist because I'm going to ram it into your stomach and break your goddamn spine!” ( Running Man )

If It Was Longer: Longer than that?!
