"I'm dishonest. And you can always trust a dishonest man to be 
dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest men you want to worry about, 
because you just never know when they're going to do something really... 
really... stupid."

Name it.

Easy, because we just watched it.  Captain Jack Sparrow, Pirates of the 
Caribbean.

A former friend of mine once said something similar - he asked me if I 
trusted him, and I said yes, and he said "you shouldn't."

He was right (hence "former friend").

  The problem with quotes in the modern world is that it's trivial to write
them in google and get the source in a few seconds. There's no challenge
anymore.

  Which gives me an idea: What are your favorite quotes? (They don't have to
be film quotes. Anything goes.)

  I'll start with this one (kudos if you know where it's from without using
the internet):

  "The song of the forest is in perfect harmony. If a single note is out
of place, the elves will find its source."
