Annie Hall (1977) as Alvy Singer

View Quote [to Annie] You are extremely sexy, unbelievably sexy...You know what you are, you're polymorphously perverse...you're exceptional in bed because you got - you get pleasure in every part of your body when I touch it...Like the tip of your nose, and if I stroke your teeth or your kneecaps...you get excited.
View Quote The other important joke for me is one that's usually attributed to Groucho Marx but I think it appears originally in Freud's Wit and Its Relation to the Unconscious - and it goes like this. I'm paraphrasing. I would never want to belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member. That's the key joke of my adult life, in terms of my relationships with women.
View Quote You know, even as a kid, I always went for the wrong women. I think that's my problem. When my mother took me to see Snow White, everyone fell in love with Snow White. I immediately fell for the Wicked Queen.

Antz (1998) as Z

View Quote Wow, every worker in the colony is here. Hey, wait a minute. That guy owes me money. I've got to believe there's someplace better for me. Otherwise I'll just curl up into a larval position and weep. I think everything must go back to the fact that I had a very anxious childhood. You know, my - my mother never had time for me. You know, when you're - when you're the middle child in a family of five million, you don't get any attention. Will you calm down? You're not going to let a little near-death experience ruin your mood, are you? Let's be real about this. Bala and I... Bala is a princess, and I'm a soil relocation engineer. There you have it: your average boy-meets-girl, boy-likes-girl, boy-changes-the-underlying-social-order story. Handling dirt is not my idea of a rewarding career. Okay, I've gotta give myself a positive attitude. A good attitude even though I'm utterly insignificant. I'm, I'm insignificant... but with attitude. [mocking the scout] Nothing like a little post-traumatic stress disorder to make your day complete. And, y'know, I finally feel like I've found my place. And you know what? It's right back where I started. But the difference is, this time I chose it. We rebuilt the colony; better than before, because now we have a very large indoor swimming pool. Think about it, Bala. Do you really want to be Mrs. Raving Lunatic?
View Quote Ladybug: This tastes just like crap.
Beetle: Really? Let me try some. Hey, it is crap. Not bad.
Mosquito: What if, like, we're just these tiny things... and we're just, like, part of this whole other huge universe...that's, like, so big we don't even know it exists?
Ladybug: Man, that is so deep.
Bala : Excuse me. I guess you didn't recognize me. My name is Princess Bala. I've been traveling, and I'm all... schlumpy.
Chip: It's worse than I thought. They're Euro-trash.
Bala : Haven't I seen you somewhere before?
Z: Well, maybe, then again, maybe not, and then again... yowch.
Bala : That's it. You're the guy from the bar.
Z: Shhh.
Queen: Bar? What bar?
Bala : I... danced with this guy at the bar the other night. He was just a worker, then.
Queen: What were you doing at a bar?
General Mandible: Precisely what I want to know.
Bala : No. This isn't about me. I mean, Look at this worker. Look what he's done.
Z: I think - I think you're thinking of someone else. After all, I am a soldier.
Bala : Exactly. You WERE a worker, but now you're a war hero.
Queen: He's a worker?
General Mandible: A worker danced with my fiance?
Z: F-fiance? Hey, w-wait a minute. Th-this is not how it looks. I-I can explain this... hey, SHE was the one making all the moves.
Bala : Don't you get it? I chose you because you were the most pathetic bug in the joint.
Z: You know, I was going to let you become a part of my most erotic fantasies, but now you can just write it off.
Bala : I've been kidnapped by the village idiot.
Z: Who's the bigger idiot? The idiot, or the idiot who gets kidnapped by the idiot?
Z: Let me ask you something - what made you come to the bar that night?
Bala : I guess I was looking for a little trouble.
Z: Well, trouble's my middle name. Actually, my middle name is Marion, but I don't want you spreading that around.
Weaver: Z, I've known you for a long time, right?
Z: Definitely; you were born two seconds after me.
Weaver: And ever since I've known you, all you do is complain; what are you bitching about? If you haven't noticed, us ants are runnin' the show. We're the lords of the Earth!
Z: Hey. Don't talk to me about "Earth", 'cause I just spent my day hauling it around.

Ant: Uh, worker. Soldier. Worker.
Worker Ant: Let's try it again. Firm grip. Swing hard. Back straight. Concentrate. Follow through.
Z Marion-4195: Okay. I've got to keep a positive attitude. A good attitude, even though I'm utterly insignificant. [grabs an ax] I'm-I'm insignificant, um, but with attitude.
Azteca: Oh, sorry, Z. I didn't see you.
Z Marion-4195: Great, Azteca. It's working already. I'm so meaningless, I'm invisible. [he tries to get the ax out]
Azteca: [laughing] Now, you're getting it. [takes the ax out] After all, it's not about you. It's about us, the team. It's about this.
Z Marion-4195: Uh, a giant hole in the ground?
Foreman: Okay, people. Are we feeling good?
All: Yeah!
Z Marion-4195: Yeah.
Foreman: Great! Now, R-1734 through Z-7829, you guys are on wrecking ball.
Azteca: You got it.
Z Marion-4195: Swell. You got it.
Worker Ant: All right, swing time! Let's get physical!
Worker Ant: I love this job!
Worker Ant: Let's go!
Z Marion-4195: Now, remember, Azteca, "Be the ball." That's the main thing. Now, remember that. You know, got to be one with the ball.
Azteca: Would you cut it out already? Jeez. I love my work. And you, well... You think too much. Come on, Z. Help us build a bigger, better colony. And, for crying out loud, try to be happy about it.
Z Marion-4195: Sure, you know. [nervous chuckle] I mean, how could I possibly be unhappy being a piece of construction equipment?
Foreman: Okay, workers, remember.
Z Marion-4195: Here it comes.
Foreman: Be the ball.
Z Marion-4195: [groans]
Foreman: Let the energy flow through you!
Z Marion-4195: Grin and bear it. This is... This is for the colony. Ow! This is... This is just a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Worker Ant: Hang on, here we go!
Worker Ant: Faster!
Worker Ant: Higher!
Z Marion-4195: Did I happen to mention that heights make me nauseous?
Worker Ant: No.
Worker Ant: This is a ball! Hey!
Azteca: Oh, Z.
Z Marion-4195: Yes. Yes. I understand. I dropped the ball.
