Best line in movie.....
Henchman "My superiors want to talk to you!"
Clint "Your superiors! Well that doesn't narrow the field much now does it?"
I cracked up at that one!

My vote goes to...
"You never know. Sometimes people do things they thought they'd never do again."
"Like rape, for instance. I thought I'd given up rape, but I've changed my mind"
I didn't see a rape joke coming when I started this movie, but when it hit, it had me.
....I thought you'd draw the line at hauling ice.
That one kills me.

"And Ben replies:
"Lady, why don't you go get yourself screwed. It would do you a lot of good."
Especially the end bit."
Classic 70's line.
ALL good!
How about this one from Ben describing Miles;
"Looks like he could change a nine dollar bill in threes"
Btw, in my opinion, Jack Cassidy was freakin' brilliant as Miles.
"The only thing you and I have to chat about is if you have an incurable disease and lack the guts to kill yourself"
shareThis movie has great screenplay throughout.
I liked this exchange, which went something like this:
Ben: (feigning a German accent) : "Karl Freytag wants us in the sitting room immediatley!"
Hemlock: "Stragglers will be shot."
Ben: "Only the lucky ones."
"I'm just going to have to warn you in advance that I'm going to waste you a little"
shareWhen German climber says of Clint, ' He knows more about retreating than me'
share2 best lines:
1) When Ben is loudly chewing out the hotel manager for not having a room for him and in mid sentence turns to Hemlock (who just walked up) and gently says "Hiya, buddy, how you doing? You're looking good"...best segue I've ever seen...hilarious.
2) "Don't forget your trenchcoat...how would anybody recognize you without your disguise"
Bonus: "what should I do with this box of floss?"
This movie is loaded with great lines, many taken from the book. They crack me up every time.
share"Beat it, Cupcake"!!
shareafter clint punches pope "oh you'll be alright, of course you may have trouble playing the clarinet for awhile" lol
share
"You jumping his wife?"
"No."
"You sure?"

Saw the movie a few minutes ago. Really great movie, funny, intense, great locations, great actors.
Almost every punch-line in it is a huge laugh.
My favorite was:
Dragon:"I need my blood changed 2 times a year"
Hemlock:"With what?"
Clint to Miles' dog when they're driving off...
"Pretty quiet now, aren't you little prick?"
'you are an animal!!!'
Golf clap? Golf clap.
Do you have anything else to say? I usually keep a twenty in the bowl by the door. You might pick it up on the way out!
good one! also 'does your physical disability preclude you from coming to the point?'
Golf clap? Golf clap.
I have only recently discovered the genius behid the sentence that Clint says while he is running through the forest after that Indian girl.
He says "Screw Marlon Brando!" :)
He does indeed say "screw Marlon Brando," but I don't get it? Is it because Brando had a relationship with an Indian?
shareWell, it's because Marlon Brando fought very hard for the Native American rights (the best example is when he sent an Indian woman to receive the Academy Award which he won for his legendary role in The Godfather.
And in Eiger Sanction, Clint is being pushed to the limit by the Indian lady and he gets frustrated so he says this line.
To Sheen:
Yes I forgot that! Thanks indeed!
I think in one of these training scenes when she's running him ragged he says "Just scalp me!"
share"Screw Marlon Brando!"
That was my favorite too.
"I am not a complete idiot, some parts are missing."
Hemlock - "How long you been working for Dragon, Pope?"
Pope - " about 12 years, why?"
Hemlock - "Then he's used to having grief in his life"
or
Pope - "You don't think I could handle it, handle it" (love the stutter)
Hemlock - "In a locked closet with a grenade"
