I deliver perfection...
and don't brag about it!
You wanna talk about
the vanishing wilderness?
Why are you so anxious about this?
Because they're building a dam
across the Cahulawasse River.
They're gonna flood a whole valley, Bobby.

This was my first thought too, and I still think it qualifies despite the fact that the actual first line of the film is, "Jimmy did you hear something?" - which is part of the Batts murder flashforward. The story of the movie really starts with the "...wanted to be a gangster" line.

There was a line that Kurtz needed to be taken out "With extreme prejudice". It's a good expression to have in your back pocket.

Great stuff in this thread:

Be seated. Now, I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.

KING ARTHUR
Whoa, there!

GUARD #1
Who goes there?

KING ARTHUR
It is I, Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, from the castle of Camelot. King of the Britons, defeater of the Saxons, Sovereign of all England!

GUARD #1
Pull the other one!

KING ARTHUR
I am, and this is my trusty servant Patsy. We have ridden the length and breadth of the land in search of knights who will join me in my court at Camelot. I must speak with your lord and master.

GUARD #1
What? Ridden on a horse?

KING ARTHUR
Yes!

GUARD #1
You're using coconuts!

3 billion human lives ended on August 29, 1997. Survivors of the nuclear fire called the day, judgement day.
