LIVE POLL: Movies Quotes Without the Letter "E"
As for French, the letter "e" is the most frequently used in the English language, and so it was a pretty tough job finding movie lines that didn't have an "e"... tough, but fun.
So which bit of dialog (no less than four words) would you pick?
To be eligible, the lines must be in English (sorry but no "Hasta la vista, baby!" or "Gort! Klaatu Barada Nikto!) and without grammatical errors. "Ain't" is accepted since its more formal version "isn't" doesn't use an"e" either.

PS: French novelist George Perec (1936-1983) was famous for having written La Disparition, a novel in French that didn't contain the letter "e", he even managed to disappearing letter in the following terms I roughly translated as "an almost total « o » finishing with a dash" (see, no "e"!)

I realize you have a longer quote from The Karate Kid, but when I saw you had that film on the list, I thought the quote was going to be "Wax on, wax off."
If this poll goes live, though, I'll probably vote for "I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way," from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
One other suggestion: "What is your nationality?" "I'm a drunkard." (Casablanca)

No. It’s “puff, puff, pass,” not “puff, puff, stomp angrily.”

It would be cool to make a list of quotes containing only "e" as a vowel just like Georges Perec did in Les Revenentes.
