Some memorable movie quotes that make Steve Martin such a notable figure in movie history…
Navin in The Jerk (1979)
“I know we’ve only known each other 4 weeks and 3 days, but to me it seems like 9 weeks and 5 days.”
“The new phone book’s here! The new phone book’s here! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity I need! My name in print, that really makes somebody. Things are going to start happening to me now.”
Rigby in Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid (1982)
“Let’s go out dancing! You put on your black dress, and I’ll go shave my tongue.”
“All dames are alike; they reach down your throat and they can grab your heart, pull it out and they throw it on the floor, step on it with their high heels, spit on it, shove it in the oven… Then they slice it into little pieces, slam it on a hunk of toast and serve it to you and then expect you to say, ‘Thanks honey; it was delicious.’”
Roger in All of Me (1984)
“Just because my grandfather didn’t rape the environment and exploit the workers doesn’t make me a peasant. And it’s not that he didn’t want to rape the environment and exploit the workers, I’m sure he did. It’s just that as a barber, he didn’t have that much opportunity.”
Orin in Little Shop of Horrors (1986)
“I thrill when I drill a bicuspid—It’s swell though they tell me I’m mal-adjusted.”
Lucky Day in Three Amigos! (1986)
“I suppose you could say that everyone has an El Guapo. For some, shyness may be an El Guapo. For others, lack of education may be an El Guapo. But for us, El Guapo is a large ugly man who wants to kill us.”
Neal in Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987)
“You are like one of those Chatty Cathy dolls, except I’m not pulling the string, you are. Blah, blah blah!”
“You know, you know when you’re telling these little stories? Here’s a good idea: have a point. It makes it so much more interesting for the listener.”
