Quotes Containing man:
Sung by Goldie in Young Indiana Jones / Mystery of the Blues (1992): 'He shakes my ashes / greases my griddle / churns my butter / strokes my fiddle . / My man is such a handy man . / He flaps my flapjacks / cleans up the table / feeds the horses / in my stable . / My man is such a handy man . / Sometimes he's up / long before dawn / busy trimming the edges off of my law. / My man is such a handy man .'

Justice Dan Snow (Walter Matthau) in First Monday in October (1981): ''Just being offensive is not an offense. One man''s pornography may be another man''s poetry.'' Possibly a rewording of a famous line by Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan said in a 1971 case on free speech: ''One man''s vulgarity is another man''s lyric.''

Drag queens Noxema/Zima Jackson/Auntie Noxy (Wesley Snipes) and Chichi Rodriquez (John Leguizamo) in To Wong Foo. Thanks for Everything. Julie Newmar (1995): - Noxema: ''Darling, if you''re going to become a drag-queen , you''re gonna have to learn these things. '' - Chichi: ''What do you mean ''a drag queen''? I am a drag queen!'' - Noxema: ''Oh, child, no , no , no . You''re simply a boy in a dress. When a straight man puts a dress and gets his sexual kick he is a transvestite ; when a man is a woman trapped in a man''s body and has the little operation he is a transsexual ; (...) when a gay man has way too much fashion sense for one gender he is a drag-queen . (...) And when a light little Latin boy puts on a dress he is simply a boy in a dress.'' In the end , they agree to give Chichi the temporary title of ''drag princess .''
Serafina (Anna Magnani) giving a silk shirt to truck-driver Alvaro (Burt Lancaster) in The Rose Tattoo (1955): ''Nothing is too good for a man if the man is good.''

Are we all going to get married?'' - Rittenhouse: ''All of us?'' - Spaulding: ''All of us!'' - Rittenhouse: ''Yes, but that''s bigamy!'' - Spaulding: ''Yes, and it''s big-of-me too. It''s big of all of us. Let''s be big for a change. I''m sick of these conventional marriages. One woman and one man was good enough for your grandmother, but who wants to marry your grandmother?''
Finn (Winona Ryder) to Marianna (Alfre Woodard) in How to Make an American Quilt (1995): 'You see , what they don't tell us is that marriage is this anachronistic institution created for the sole convenience of the father who needs to pass off his daughters to the care of another man . Like 'here, here, she eats too much. Take her off my hands', you know? But now, now that we've gotten our independence, that we earn our own livings, there's no purpose to being someone's wife . Why can't we love as many people as we want in a lifetime?'
Robin (Cary Elwes) and Marian (Amy Yasbeck) in Robin Hood. Men in Tights (1993): - Robin: ''Darling, I''m ready for that kiss now.'' - Marian: ''But first , I must warn you. It could only be a kiss for I am a virgin and could never go-all-the-way .'' - Robin: ''But...'' - Marian: ''Unless, of course, I were married . Or if a man pledged his endless love to me. Or if I knew that he desperately cared for me. Or if he were really cute .''
Clarence Day (William Powell) having a father-to-son talk about women with Clarence, Jr. (Jimmy Lydon) in Life with Father (1947): - Clarence Sr.: 'All you have to do is be firm.' - Clarence Jr.: 'Yes, but Father, what can you do when they cry?' And later: 'You see Clarence, we men have to run this world and it's not an easy job . It takes work and it takes thinking. A man has to reason things out . Now, you take a woman . A woman thinks... No, I'm wrong right there. A woman doesn't think at all. She get's stirred up .'

Tillie Schlaine (Carol Burnett) to Pete Seltzer (Walter Matthau) in Pete ''n'' Tillie (1972): - Tillie: ''What do you think?'' - Pete: ''I think you are a fine-figure of a woman .'' - Tillie: ''I wasn''t asking about me. I was asking about the apartment.'' - Pete: ''Oh. It needs a man''s touch .'' -Tillie: ''Incidentally, for future reference, no woman who fancies she has a good-figure likes to hear she''s a fine-figure of a woman . The two aren''t the same at all.''
Alex(andra) Medford (Cher) to Daryl Van Horne (Jack Nicholson) in The Witches of Eastwick (1987): 'I will try to be as direct and honest with you as I possibly can . I think, no , I am positive, that you are the most unattractive man I have ever met in my entire life . You know , in the short time that we have been together you have demonstrated every loathsome characteristics of the male personality and even discovered a few new ones. You are physically repulsive, intellectually retarded, you're morally reprehensible, vulgar , insensitive, selfish, stupid. You have no taste, a lousy sense of humor and you smell. You're not even interesting enough to make me sick.'
