Yep, Arnold Schwarzenegger''s movies usually have some pretty good, cheezy one-liners. I actually like a quote from someone else in one of his movies. Jesse Ventura said, "I don''t have time to bleed." And the other guy replied, "Oh. Do you have time to duck?"
Or when Jesse said, "You guys are a bunch of slap-jawed faggots. This stuff will make you a sexual tyrannesaurus, just like me." Not the kind of expressions you''d expect to hear from most state governors.

I don''t know who sister Kenny is, so I dunno. For Peter Ustinov, I couldn''t know neither if he actually said that.
How do *you* know, actually ?

jiggold : you forgot the best from Bill gate (paraphrase)
"No one will ever need more than 640k" ... the best geek line, ever, period.

Seanhowe : it reminds me of a joke we had during the Kosovo war (when our guys went there, that is).
Said to someone trying to attack you : "you wanna fight ? you wanna fight, huh ?! Go to Kosovo" (translation doesn''t make it justice ... but it''s fun in context ... before the guy breaks your neck)
