Some screenplays take months — or even years — to complete, often going through several rewrites before the final scripts end up in the actors’ hands. With any luck, the dialogue will include memorable lines that will stick in moviegoers’ minds for all the right reasons.
Sometimes, however, the most unforgettable lines come from somewhere else. These famous movie lines weren’t in the script at all.
Correction: A previous version of this article misstated where Robert De Niro’s famous “are you talking to me?” line took place in the film “Taxi Driver.” We regret the error.
