Post some classic generic lines from the movies...

[First Speaker]

some examples:

Secret Agent: "You have interfered with my plans for the last time, Mr Bond."

Gangster: "Here's a C note. Get yourself some fresh duds. I like my boys to look sharp."

Detective: "Yeah, I know what the evidence is against him. It's *too* good. Something about it doesn't smell right to me."

10. Movies from the '40s spawned ...

... a million "generic" lines.

"The minute she walked into my office, I knew she was trouble." This voice-over narration is invariably followed by a description of the "dame" being referenced in terms of her "great gams".

If someone hears something they take exception to, they will always push up their jacket sleeves, ball up their hands into fists, adopt a boxing stance and say, "Why I oughta ..." His friends will hold him back from striking his adversary, as he weakly pretends to free himself from their grip.

When a PI reports back to the guy who hired him to dig up some dirt on someone, he will go into trivial details about the man/woman he's been watching. Eventually, he will say, "But here's where it gets interesting," a line which is inevitably followed by the words, "Turns out ..." At this point in the movie, the audience learns that the 'butter wouldn't melt in her mouth' waitress has been 'shacking-up' with a guy 'from the wrong side of the tracks' who 'did time in the Big House" because he's 'connected with The Mob'.
