Great Swayze Lines From The Movies

Here's a bumper Great Lines special dedicated to Splice Hero of Cheese Patrick Swayze:

"Well, when you grow up... then you'll know these things, Danny. Now get up here and piss in the radiator" - Jed shows how age gives you new perspectives on how to fix a car, Red Dawn

"You just put your pickle on everybody's plate, college boy, and leave the hard stuff to me" - Johnny talking about sex, or dancing, or whatever, it's a bloody chick flick and, no, I'm not including that line about an infant on the periphery of the room or something, Dirty Dancing

"I'm gonna do my kind of dancin' with a great partner, who's not only a terrific dancer; somebody who's taught me that there are people willing to stand up for other people no matter what it costs them; somebody who's taught me about the kind of person I wanna be" - Film's message, you are clear to land via Swayze's mouth, Dirty Dancing

"Ditto" - Sam Wheat proves that with the ladies all you need is one word that means "right back at ya" to make them melt, oh and some killer abs, Ghost

"You are a fear prisoner. Yes, you are a product of fear" - Jim Cunningham, who is an actual prisoner, a product of liking little kids a tad too much, Donnie Darko

And now a drum role for the two best roles Mr. Swayze ever had, both are endlessly quotable and so here's a shitload of quotes:

First the Steven Pressley lookalike Bodhi from Point Break (you can follow each one of these quotes with the phrase "like dude"):


"Little hand says it's time to rock and roll"

"100% pure adrenaline!"

"Life sure has a sick sense of humor, doesn't it?"

"Back off Warchild, seriously"

"They only live to get radical"

"Goddamn! You are one radical son of a bitch!"

"Six seconds. We're going to be meat waffles"

"Yo, Johnny! I see you in the next life!"

And now for the Swayziest of all the Swayze roles, Dalton from Roadhouse (insert "FUUUUUCK YAAAAAAAAS!!!!!" after each of these quotes)

"Pain don't hurt"

"All you have to do is follow three simple rules. One, never underestimate your opponent. Expect the unexpected. Two, take it outside. Never start anything inside the bar unless it's absolutely necessary. And three, be nice"

"I want you to be nice until it's time to not be nice"

"If you're gonna have a pet, keep it on a leash"

"My way... or the highway"

I think that we should go back to Point Break's Bodhi for our final quote:

"If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love"
