Best final line for any character in fiction (movies, TV, etc.)?

[Bossy Monkey]

I submit Severus Snape's "Look... at... me." Granted, the next chapter is largely flashbacks involving his memories, so he has many more lines in the book, but his last line in the story chronologically is the above. And you?

[nolabear]

1. "Nobody's perfect!"

[MiddleFingerMom]

7. My FAVORITE comedy of all time!!! n/t

[nolabear]

30. Mine too. Not to mention my favorite dress.

Lord, if I could look like that in a dress just once in my life... and I AIN'T talking Daphne and Josephine!

[mucifer]

18. YES! Wow that was so queer! I loved it!

[rug]

2. Best stage direction:

VLADIMIR:
Well? Shall we go?
ESTRAGON:
Yes, let's go.

(They do not move.)

[nytemare]

3. "All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain"

"Time to die"

[TroglodyteScholar]

4. Damnit, I was going to say that!

And it's a young thread still, too. Sheesh! :D

[proteus_lives]

23. I thought of Roy Batty too.

Love Blade Runner.

[tigereye]

41. yes, that is an excellent one!

[darkstar3]

5. A simple yet surprisingly heartfelt goodbye that I think would be apropos for many people

"I have been, and always shall be your friend. Live long and prosper."

[XemaSab]

6. I see your "Look at me" and raise you

"Severus, please." :D

[Bossy Monkey]

20. But he has lines that come chronologically after that one. Admittedly, he's dead

but still.:)

[The Midway Rebel]

8. Tomorrow is another day.

I love a good Wilhelm.

"I find I am so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought
in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel,
a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is
uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see
my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it
has been in my dreams. I hope."

12. "And she slipped on the ball..." Everyone laughed.

[Bertha Venation]

34. Trading Places?

[cherokeeprogressive]

36. Yup. I've always wondered what the rest of the joke was... n/t

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

13. It's heavy.

It's heavy.

What is it?

The stuff that dreams are made of.

[YankeyMCC]

14. "Timshel"

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

15. Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship...nt

[Dr Morbius]

16. Damn, you beat me by three minutes.

[JohnnyBoots]

21. There are so many great lines from that movie...

"You know, we'll always have Paris"

"Here's Looking at you kid."

"Play it again Sam"

"Round up the usual suspects"

Many more....I think I have a date with Casablanca on DVD and a good bottle of Scotch this weekend. Man, does that sounds like a good time...

[tigereye]

42. great, great film- very quotable!

[sarge43]

17. Well, three great final lines - The Lion in Winter

Henry: You know, I hope we never die.

Eleanor: I hope so, too.

Henry: You think there's any chance of it?

[Rabrrrrrr]

19. "And look, Frodo, I brought the Dildonator 9000XL!" Gandalf the White (edited out before printing)

[flvegan]

26. You're still here? It's over! Go home. Go!

From Ferris Bueller's Day Off, or...

I don't understand, Pop. Was there a murder or wasn't there?
Yes. Killed good weekend. Drive please!
-Murder By Death

[Hepburn]

27. Michael Douglas, as Gordon Gekko, in the new Wall Street Movie:

"If you stop lying about me, I will stop telling the truth about you."

:applause:

[jobycom]

28. If you mean dying words, then I give you (either) Khan or Captain Ahab

"To the last, I will grapple with thee... from Hell's heart, I stab at thee! For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee!" (Not exactly Ahab's last words, but close enough).

If you just mean the final words spoken by a character in fiction, then I give you Jake Barnes: It sure is pretty to think so.

[RandomThoughts]

31. Not my view.

To the last, I will Grapple with thee, from any heart I hug at you, for Loves sake I breathe my every breath at thee!

Sounds better, although not the last in my view.

Call me Ishmael. Some years ago - never mind how long precisely - having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off - then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.

32. Mister Roberts (1955)

Captain, it is I, Ensign Pulver, and I just threw your stinkin' palm tree overboard! Now what's all this crud about no movie tonight?

33. "Honey, you won't believe the dream I just had."

39. Last Stanza in "A River Runs Through It"

Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.
I am haunted by waters.

[marigold20]

40. One of my favorite books

and a pretty good movie. I miss Montana!
