Badges? We ain’t got no badges! We don’t need no badges! I don’t have to show you any stinking badges!
Animal Deliveryman: Raul Hernandez? Raul Hernandez: Yeah. Animal Deliveryman: Got the delivery here for your next show. Raul Hernandez: Oh great. What you got? Animal Deliveryman: Let's see, I got one aardvark, one flamingo, four porcupines, two armadillos, three badgers... Raul Hernandez: [spoofing "Treasure of the Sierra Madre"] Badgers?... Badgers?...

Slightly off topic but related to your quote: 50+ years ago in college, my roommate who was in mechanical engineering, said one of his professors advised the class that, when designing machinery for factory floors, be sure to consider the BFH effect. The BFH effect, you ask? That's when a guy on the factory floor decides to adjust the machine with a Big Effing Hammer.

This, from the same scene as the Francis quote in Stripes. "There was one?" My brother and I use it whenever we describe gettting into a nonsense conversation. Full Quote:
Quote:
Cruiser : I joined the army 'cause my father and my brother were in the army. I thought I'd better join before I got drafted. Sergeant Hulka : Son, there ain't no draft no more. Cruiser : There was one?

Mongol General: Conan! What is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies. See them driven before you. And to hear the lamentations of their women. -

Cohen the Barbarian, The Light Fantastic - Wikipedia[^] :
The barbarian chieftain said: “What then are the greatest things that a man may find in life?” This is the sort of thing you’re supposed to say to maintain steppecred in barbarian circles. The man on his right thoughtfully drank his cocktail of mare’s milk and snowcat blood, and spoke thus: “The crisp horizon of the steppe, the wind in your hair, a fresh horse under you.” The man on his left said: “The cry of the white eagle in the heights, the fall of snow in the forest, a true arrow in your bow.” The chieftain nodded, and said: “Surely it is the sight of your enemy slain, the humiliation of his tribe and the lamentation of his women.” There was a general murmur of whiskery approval at this outrageous display. Then the chieftain turned respectfully to his guest, a small figure carefully warming his chilblains by the fire, and said: “But our guest, whose name is legend, must tell us truly: What is it that a man may call the greatest things in life?” The guest paused in the middle of another unsuccessful attempt to light up. “What shay?” he said, toothlessly. “I said: What is it that a man may call the greatest things in life?” The warriors leaned closer. This should be worth hearing. The guest thought long and hard and then said, with deliberation: “Hot water, good dentishtry and shoft lavatory paper.”

The Professor : "Look at this. Look at what they make you give. " Bourne: 'I swear to God, if I even feel somebody behind me, there is no measure to how fast and how hard I will bring this fight to your doorstep.' Cronin: "He's making his first mistake." Nicki: "It's not a mistake. They don't make mistakes. They don't do random. There's always an objective. Always a target." ~ The Bourne Trilogy Newt: "We'd better get back, 'cause it'll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night... mostly" Hudson: "Maybe we got 'em demoralized. " Hudson: Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man? Vasquez: No. Have you? Bishop: I'm afraid I have some bad news. Hudson: Well that's a switch. Hicks: I wanna introduce you to a personal friend of mine. This is an M41A pulse rifle. Ten millimeter with over-and-under thirty millimeter pump action grenade launcher. Burke: This is clearly an important species we're dealing with and I don't think that you or I, or anybody, has the right to arbitrarily exterminate them. Ripley: Wrong. Vasquez: Yeah, watch us. ~ Aliens Lt. A.K. Waters: Now cowboy the fuck up! ~ Tears of the Sun "Don't talk like you're one of them! You're not... even if you'd like to be. To them you're just a freak, like me. They need you right now, but when they don't, they'll cast you out. Like a leper. See, their morals, their "code"... it's a bad joke, dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these uh, these "civilized people", they'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve." "This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You truly are incorruptible, aren't you? You won't kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness, and I won't kill you because you're just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever." "I'm a dog chasing cars... I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it. I just... do things. I'm just the wrench in the gears. I hate plans." "Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I'm an agent of chaos." ~ the Joker, The Dark Knight

One time I told Chris in an email that I was a peacock and he had to let me fly and he wrote back: "peacocks don't fly."

"Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure." "220, 221, what ever it takes," in Mr. Mom is a classic. I use this line or a variation a LOT. Another favorite is when Damon Wayans says, "I think that would be best." in Beverly Hills Cop. It's mostly a delivery thing there.
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"
