Pain don't hurt.
I suppose nothing hurts you.
Only pain.
Only pain.
I thought you'd be bigger.

Oh yeah, another great line from a very bad but very fun movie.
I liked some of the other lines a lot more. The "I thought you'd be bigger" thing seemed forced and repeated too often, IMHO. Got sick of it quickly.

Yeah, it was a great line, once. After that, it started feeling like a tired stand up comedy routine.

Yeah I think this thread is firmly in a gray area when it comes to worst movie lines.
Exactly. Thought for a second this was the BEST movie line thread.

I wonder if I'm the only movie fan on the planet that hated Raising Arizona? I love the cast and I usually like Coen movies but other than the odd moment, I detested this movie.

It was probably the only line in the movie that made me smile.

Ok. So you have all spoken and I am wrong. Back to the DBacks forum for me.

You don't need to do anything that drastic. Maybe just send a little cash our way? And perhaps a bagel? But nobody should be ostracized to the DBacks forum, especially not with a scary summer meltdown looming (not to mention the Dodgers).

I confess, I read it regularly. I just wanted that bagel.

Steve, this disappoints me greatly! It's probably my favorite Coen Brothers movie ever and in my top 10 of all time. Can remember being pissed that my best friend's parents decided to take us to this instead of Pretty In Pink (yes... for shame), but then howling with laughter, sitting in Cine Capri, immediately falling in love with everything in the movie. The screenplay is simply incredible, only matched by the direction of it. "They've got Yodas and ish on them!" to "Dale... he smiled at me." to "Well, uh, sometimes I get the menstrual cramps REAL hard" to... "And when there was no crow-dad to be found we ate sand. You ate WHAT? We ate sand. You ate SAND? We ate sand." to "Awful good cereal flakes Mrs. McDonough." to "Would you buy furniture from a store called Unpainted Huffheins?!" to "Son, you got a panty-hose on your head" to "Government sure do take a bite don't it?" to "********* Dale... YOU NEVER LEAVE A MAN BEHIND!" to "You're going to send him to Arizona State." to "She's a hellcat. T-i-g-E-R!" to without a doubt, the single greatest opening sequence/score which runs about 14 minutes long before the main titles hit the screen.
And of course the last line:
"I don't know. Maybe it was Utah."
Nic Cage, Holly Hunter, Randall Tex Cobb, John Goodman, William Forsythe and of course, family friend Lynn Ketei in a brief appearance as Mrs. Arizona... all at the very top of their game.

Like I said, I like Coen movies and I like the cast. I just don't like the movie. I've watched it several times, at the urging of all my movie loving fans that adore this one but no joy. Initially, I think I was just thrown by the absurd "Arizona" accent but it's more than that. And before this movie I thought it would be impossible to cast Randall Tex Cobb in a role I wouldn't enjoy.

In the spirit of the Coens:
"You know... for kids!"
My favorite of their movies and I think sometimes criminally underrated next to stuff like No Country or Big Lebowski.
Of course, that's not a worst movie line, darnit...

I don't remember the line but I'd bet a nickel it's from Air Force One.
