My favourite movie quote of all time comes from the movie "Demolition Man" in which the title character, "Demolition Man" Detective John Spartan, is played by Sylvester Stallone.

A botched hostage rescue sees both himself and his arch enemy villain sentenced to 70 years in cryostasis, but the villain, Simon Phoniex played by Wesley Snipes myseteriously makes a violent escape so the police decide to release and reinstate John Spartan.

So he wakes up in 2036 to find himself in kind of a communist utopia where Los Angeles and San Diego metroplexes have merged to become San Andreas, a very pleasent place to live in, comfortable, clean, efficent, peaceful, but with many more laws restricting freedom - petroleum (cars drive on gel batteries), chocolate, red meat, tobacco, alcohol, salt and bad language have all been banned.

Bad Language is covered in law by the "Verbal Morality Statute" and is enforced by a network of machines that issue tickets and fines to anyone it hears breaking it.

So as you can imagine, Sly racks up a few credits in fines until he gets to grips with it, but at one stage, he gets really annoyed, walks up to a machine in the police station where he works and says "Thanks a lot you s*** brained, f*** faced, b*** brained, duck f***ing pain in the a**."

All the while the machine, (with the megalomanic leaders voice synthesised) says:
"BEEP: John Spartan you are fined ..."
"BEEP: John Spartan you ..."
"BEEP: John ..."
"BEEP: John Spartan ..."
"BEEP: Jphn Spartan you are fined 5 credits for repeated violations of the Verbal Morality Statute."

That was a great movie.
