catch phrases.
If we did character catch phrases, we'd be here for a month.)

decision.)

Note that a number of these quotes also appear in the "Greatest Movie Lines" section. The criteria for this list is simple. The phrases must be used frequently, be synonymous with the specific individual, and be spoken either while not playing a character, cleverly worked into public appearances, or else in several unrelated characters. I could give examples, but I really don't feel like it.
