Movie Quotes

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

This is the number 1 quote for an english movie. And any one who has ever dealt with women can easily see why.
Unfortunately, there is no such list for Hindi movies. I gave it a little try and came up with a few of mine which should make it to any such list.
My rule was that the quote should be distinctive to a movie and easily recognizable.
That ruled out quotes such as:
Maine tera janm lete hi gala kyun nahi ghont diya
Kutte main tera khoon pi jaunga
Ajit jokes
and of course the really scary one -
Main tumhaare bachche ki maan banane waali hun
My final list:
1. Mere paas maan hai! - Deewar
2. Tera naam kya hai, Basanti? - Sholay
3. Arey O Kaaliya, sardar ne mujhpe kitna inaam rakha hai ? - Sholay
4. EK ladka aur ladki kabhi dost nahi ho sakte. - Maine Pyaar Kiya
5. Kitne aadmin the - Sholay
6. Mogambo Khush hua - Mr. India
7. Thoda Khao .. thoda pheko - Jane bhi do Yaaron
8. Prem, prem naam hai mera
9. Hum jaha pe khade ho jaate hein, line wahi se shuru hoti hai. - Kaalia
10. Main aaj bhi phenke hue paise nahin uthata - Deewar
Any suggestions?
