Movie quotes containing the phrase "ten years"?
I'm looking for scenes from movies that contain the phrase "ten years" in pretty much any context. The ones that immediately came to mind were Raiders of the Lost Ark ("You're not the man I knew ten years ago") and Gross Pointe Blank (Jeremy Piven freaking out in the car). I've also found several others on IMDB and various sites. Any others stick out in your memory? (Bonus points if you know roughly where in the movie it occurs.) Thanks!

One that's not listed at IMDB is from Vincent in the movie Collateral:
"Most people, ten years from now, same job, same place, same routine. Everything the same. Just keeping it safe over and over and over. Ten years from now.."

Double-beat to the IMDB link. Make sure you skip through the first couple pages, which are all results from TV shows.

Movie Quotes (dot com) treats "ten years" and "10 years" as different phrases, returning additional results you might have missed. There's also The Movie Quote (dot com) for results with video clips, but fewer results in total.
The more time-consuming search would go through wikiquotes, where you might get more diversity in results.

Raiders of the Lost Ark: spoken by Karen Allen's character Marion Ravenwood early in the bar scene:
"I've learned to hate you in the last ten years. "
and this exchange from the same movie:
Marion: You're not the man I knew ten years ago.
Indiana: It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage.

Platoon: Tom Beringer draws a knife on Charlie Sheen and one of Sheen's friends tries to talk him out of killing him. "Ten years. Ten years for killing an enlisted man."

The First Circle, awful French TV version or legit 2005 Russian version. The prisoners and Stalin repeatedly mention their generic ten-year sentences.

From The Untouchables, Jimmy Malone to Elliot Ness: "I wish you'd asked me 10 years and 20 pounds ago. Thank you, no."

Lyrics from "The Pajama Game" song "Seven-and-a-half Cents." Doris Day and one of her union compatriots sing about the benefits of the raise they want just before calling a general strike.
Only ten years from today,
Only ten years from today,
I can see it, clear as daylight,
Only ten years from today!
Ten years! Let's see..thats 520 weeks, times forty hours every week, and roughly two and a quarter hours overtime.. at time
and a half for overtime! Comes to exactly.. $1705.48!
That's enough for me to buy
A trip to France across the seas,
A motorboat and water skis,
Maybe even a foregian car,
A charge account at the corner bar,
Not to mention a scrabble board with letters made of gold!

From the movie "Once" when he's singing at the back of the bus:
Ten years ago, I fell in love with an Irish girl, she took my heart
but she went and screwed some guy that she knew
and now I'm in Dublin with a broken heart
Oh broken hearted hoover fixer sucker guy
Oh broken hearted hoover fixer sucker, sucker guy
One day I'll go there and win her once again
but until then, I'm just a sucker of a guy.

Try out "ten years"|"10 years" movie quote. There is a fair amount of junk in the search results, but some good stuff too...

"On this very night, ten years ago, along this very stretch of road in a dense fog just like this. I saw the worst accident I ever seen. There was this sound, like a garbage truck dropped off the Empire State Building... And when they pulled the driver's body from the twisted, burning wreck. It looked like this..."

Google search for "ten years" quotes in online movie scripts.
There's other movie script/transcript sites out there. It probably will be tedious, but searching each one of those for your phrase should turn up even more.
