An anaphora is the repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses, an epiphora is the same thing but at the end.

Which of these classic movie quotes consisting on such repetitions is your personal favorite?

ElM,

How is it we've missed having this poll go live for so long?

My vote:
"Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinkin' badges!"

"I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night."

"I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope."

I'd like to see the quotes credited to whoever said them.

Check your "out of order"s.

I put the characters' names, if I add the actors' name, it's gonna be too "wordy"
Thanks for the typo (love the irony)

Or oriny... Just wanted the character's names - looks good.

I don't know if this would apply, but how about "if I only had..." from the Wizard of Oz?

Mmm, as a rule (borrowed from the AFI), I never considered song lyrics as quotes, but checking its quotes' section, I found a Wizard of Oz quote that worked for the poll. So thanks :)
