“Star Wars” Quotes You Can Use in Everyday Language Just Like Quotes From “The Godfather”

My husband had a text thing yesterday with his friend where he told him I had lost my keys. The friend asked, “did she look in the trunk?” To which Mauro replied, “yeah, only guns and cannoli.” So Italian.

“Star Wars” quotes can be just as apt as “Godfather” quotes. (Sadly, “that’s what she said” doesn’t always apply. But that’s what makes it special.) They all rule.

On with it.

Salesperson, probably at the MAC Makeup counter: “Can I help you?”
