Do you use movie quotes surreptitiously while talking to people ?

"You talk'n to me"?

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.

"You're a funny guy, Sully. I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last."

Surely you can't be serious?

It's all a big nothing and you die in your own arms

I am trying to figure out why anyone would say anything "surreptitiously" while talking to people. I do use movie quotes, but only for humor. But then, if it is done surreptitiously, why do it?

What we have here is failure to communicate.

SNL- What the hell is that thing?

Not a quote but almost....

went to the gym yesterday, and asked the desk person where cujo was.

last yr she brought in a rather large black lab....friendly af, but i just call all dogs cujo.

she had no clue wtf i was talking abt

Yes but I only watch running movies and use quotes from running movies

"Hey, Wendy, you got a big surprise coming to you! Go check it out! Hahahaha!"

Not exactly surreptitiously but I quote movies all the time whether alone or with others:

" Like a glove. " when parking in tight spot or parallel parking.

And "...we don't need roads." If I'm going down bad back roads or cutting across stupid strip of grass company replants around parking lot.

" ...they pull me back in." at work when I'm drawn back into something.

Or " your privileges is gone." Jokingly if someone messes up. Or "shut up Donnie" if someone says something stupid

And

" Knock it off with them negative waves." Which nobody under 50 gets.

This is largely a boomer / Gen X thing to do with some millennial carryover

I'm Gen X and don't do quotes. I remember as a kid having to memorize bible verses and immediately forgetting them after reciting them for Sunday school, so I'm not the type to put phrases into my long-term memory. I also movie watching isn't a thing I do most years (haven't watched anything recent in years), though I in the past I was into checking out old movies and foreign films on DVDs from the library.

All. The. Time. Sometimes, that's how the wife and I communicate.

I quote Gunnery SGT Hartmann from Full Metal Jacket a lot.
