That would be Walter (John Goodman) in The Big Lebowski.
How about:
"I think the carrot infinitely more fascinating than the geranium. The carrot has mystery. Flowers are essentially tarts; prostitutes for the bees. There is, you'll agree, a certain je ne ses quoi oh so very special about a firm, young carrot."

That would be from the immortal Withnail and I (strangley enough, one of my 72 year old mother's favourite films).
How about "Wus you ever stung by a dead bee?"
"I'm the Rock and Roll Scrabble champion"

Yes, smarty pants, it is Katharine Hepburn, but the movie is "Tease for Two".
Seriously, I didn't think it was so obscure. Or is no one playing? Hmmm. It's William Powell in "The Thin Man".
Surely, someone will know this one:
"You gotta get up close like this and bada-bing, you blow their brains all over your nice Ivy League suit."

The Gladiator, right?
If I'm right (and I'm really not sure), what about:
"Nice to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you too...in a way."

That's a good one. How about "lions and tigers and bears oh my" for your next one, bamboo

That would be from As Good As It Gets.
(had to look the English title up; in Swedish it's translated to "Life from the bright side")
My quote is still:
"Nice to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you too...in a way."

K.H, that rings a bell. Is it from a Woody Allen picture by any chance?

The Mosquito coast!!... I was just thinking about that movie the other day..
MBA, are you asking me who I am, or is "Who are you??" a movie quote?
Good call on in a lonely place, great movie.

Declanation, I was just a little freaked because an ex of mine (who has been known to check up on what I'm doing here) loves that movie. But you're obviously not him, so carry on!

Nope not me... Sorry to hear about your stalker ex though... I once had to get a restraining order against an ex of mine.. She kept driving by my house and dumping garbage on my front lawn... Then she would come by with her new boyfriend and taunt me from their car yelling for me to come out....
Speaking of taunts to come out... Here's another quote..
"Warriors... Come out to plaaaaaaayyyyyy!!!"

That's easy. "The Warriors", a fave when I was a teenager, about a New York street gang trying to get back to their home turf. Wasn't there one gang on roller skates, or am I thinking about another picture?

No, Chrille, it's not a Woody film. Should we just reveal the title if no one answers correctly or would hints and clues be more fun? If so, here's two:
The first actor played Closeau's son, the second a shrink commenting on Mickey & Mallory on TV.

I would guess Steven Wright and Roberto Benigni in C and C?
In any case, can I add:
"You don't need a million dollars to do nothin'. Take a look at my cousin; he's broke; don't do shit."
