Misused quotes

There are quite a few quotes out there, we all say some of them quite often, and lots of them are quoted incorrectly. Here are a few

"Luke, I am your Father"

The actual line is "No, I am your Father!"

"I'm ready for my close up, Mr DeMille"

The actual line “All right, Mr. DeMille. I’m ready for my close-up.”

“Do ya feel lucky, punk?”

The actual line "“You’ve got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky?’ Well, do ya punk?”

"Beam me up, Scotty" - the closest that was said is "Scotty, beam me up"

"Elementary, my dear Watson" was never said by the original book Holmes. Not even close to it.

"Nice guys finish last"

The actual quote "All nice guys. They'll finish last"

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"

The original “Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned. Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.”

There are still plenty out there, which ones do you know?

"Anything that begins with 'Jesus said...' "

I think the factual quote was

Jesus said I can’t get my internet to work

True story
