1. Pick 20 of your favourite movies.
2. Go to IMDB (or Wikiquote) and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them for everyone to guess.
4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed.
5. No cheating. That includes search engines such as Google and IMDB's internal search engine.
(NOTE: I used more than one quote with some to quell my desire to use both the epic quotes that people would probably know, and the delightful quotes that would be too obscure.)
(FURTHER NOTE: IF NO ONE GETS #18, I WILL BAKE A BATCH OF DELICIOUS COOKIES AND COME TO ALL OF YOUR HOUSES AND EAT THEM IN FRONT OF YOU.)
(THE RETURN OF THE NOTE: I know I posted this on Facebook already, but since I got TWO REPLIES, I'm posting it here for my internet friends to guess.)
1) "So you've read the diary. How can you keep doing what you're doing?"
"I'm just a driver."
-
"Okay, now I'm going to do his teeth and cut off his fingers. You might want to leave room."
2) "Oh my God! What is that?!"
"I don't know! Something else! Something also terrible!"
-
"Do you guys remember a couple of years ago when that guy was lighting homeless people on fire in the subways?"
3) "I would like so much to reach out to you and touch you in your loneliness. What would it be like, I wonder? What would be wrong with that? I realize that you are not a person in the strictest sense of the word, but, um, maybe you're right about that too. Maybe what's wrong, it's not us, it's this... I mean, when they compare you to vermin, to rodents and to lice. I just, uh, you make a good point. You make a very good point. Is this the face of a rat? Are these the eyes of a rat?"
-
"By law, I have to tell you sir, I am a Jew."
"Well I'm a German, so there we are."
4) "Oh, great. Valium. Not only will we be able to go to sleep — if we get attacked in the middle of the night, we won't even care."
-
"Eight days ago, I found Jones with his gun in his mouth. He said he was going to kill himself because there was no future. What could I say to him? We fight off the infected or we wait until they starve to death... and then what? What do nine men do except wait to die themselves? I moved us from the blockade, and I set the radio broadcasting, and I promised them women. Because women mean a future."
5) "You never understood, why we did this. The audience knows the truth: the world is simple. It's miserable, solid all the way through. But if you could fool them, even for a second, then you can make them wonder, and then you... then you got to see something really special... you really don't know?... it was... it was the look on their faces..."
-
"I want... I want you to be honest with me. No tricks, no lies, no secrets. Do you... do you love me?"
"Not today. No."
6) "Anybody interested in grabbing a couple of burgers and hittin' the cemetery?"
-
"The crickets and the rust-beetles scuttled among the nettles of the sage thicket. "Vámonos, amigos," he whispered, and threw the busted leather flintcraw over the loose weave of the saddlecock. And they rode on in the friscalating dusklight."
-
"He's playing the worst tennis of his life. What's he feeling right now?"
"I don't know, Jim. There's obviously something wrong with him. He's taken off his shoes and one of his socks and... actually, I think he's crying."
7) "And you... yeah, you. Sick of some jerk shoving your head down the toilet? Well, you know what? Maybe... you should lift some weights, or uh, take a karate lesson and the next time he's tries to do it, you kick him in the balls."
-
"I have reached the end of your book and... there are so many things that I need to ask you. Sometimes I'm afraid of what you might tell me. Sometimes I'm afraid that you'll tell me that this is not a work of fiction. I can only hope that the answers will come to me in my sleep. I hope that when the world comes to an end, I can breathe a sigh of relief, because there will be
so much to look forward to."
-
"I don't think telling any woman to forcibly insert an object into her anus is something that should go unpunished."
"I think we should buy him a moped."
8) "We were in the nick of time. You were in great peril."
"I don't think I was."
"Yes, you were. You were in terrible peril."
"Look, let me go back in there and face the peril."
"No, it's too perilous."
"Look, it's my duty as a knight to sample as much peril as I can."
"No, we've got to find the Holy Grail. Come on."
"Oh, let me have just a little bit of peril?"
"No. It's unhealthy."
"I bet you're gay."
"Am not."
-
"Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed!"
-
"Yes, shrubberies are my trade. I am a shrubber. My name is Roger the Shrubber. I arrange, design, and sell shrubberies."
9) "A woman... so ugly on the inside she couldn't bear to go on living if she couldn't be beautiful on the outside. A drug dealer, a drug dealing pederast, actually! And let's not forget the disease-spreading whore! Only in a world this shitty could you even try to say these were innocent people and keep a straight face. But that's the point. We see a deadly sin on every street corner, in every home, and we tolerate it. We tolerate it because it's common, it's trivial. We tolerate it morning, noon, and night. Well, not anymore. I'm setting the example. What I've done is going to be puzzled over and studied and followed... forever."
-
"I've been trying to figure something in my head, and maybe you can help me out, yeah? When a person is insane, as you clearly are, do you know that you're insane? Maybe you're just sitting around, reading "Guns and Ammo", masturbating in your own feces, do you just stop and go, "Wow! It is amazing how fucking crazy I really am!"? Yeah. Do you guys do that?"
10) "OK! I'll talk! In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max's toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog... When my mom sent me to the summer camp for fat kids and then they served lunch I got nuts and I pigged out and they kicked me out... But the worst thing I ever done - I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this:
hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa - and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other."
11) "A big man is ripping your ears off, Percy. I'd do as he says."
-
"Yeah, I always keep a spare mouse in my wallet for occasions such as this."
12) "You know what cops do when they retire? They play golf. I don't want to play golf. I
hate fucking golf."
13) "Why do the gods torment me with such reckless, destructive, blasphemous sons? I work hard to build an empire, and your only joy is to amuse yourselves destroying it. Have I taught you nothing?"
"Don't be so hard on yourself, you highness. You're an excellent teacher."
"It isn't your fault your sons learned nothing."
"Well, they learned blasphemy."
"True."
-
"The "weak link in the chain." That's what he called me."
"Well, you
are rather pathetic."
14) "And where do you live, Simon?"
"I live in the weak and the wounded... Doc."
-
"I hit Wendy."
"What?"
"A couple days ago, right after I found out about this job, I went home. I had flowers, I wanted to celebrate. I came in she was cookin' pasta. I wanted to kiss her. I guess she turned the wrong way because next thing I know, I've got a pot of boiling water all over m'leg. And I don't know if it was the dog barkin', I don't know if it was Emma cryin' but I slapped her. I knew it was an accident, but I hit her for it. I hurt my wife. ...I
love my wife..."
15) "I like to dissect girls. Did you know I'm utterly insane?"
-
"Would you like to hear today's specials?"
"Not if you want to keep your spleen."
-
"Is that a rain-coat?"
"Yes, it is!"
-
"What's that?"
"Duct tape. I need it for... taping something."
16) "If I'd grown up on a farm and was retarded, Bruges might impress me, but I didn't, so it doesn't."
-
"Harry, let's face it. You've always been a cunt. The only thing that's gonna change, is that you're gonna be an even bigger cunt. Maybe have some more cunt kids."
"You fuckin' retract that bit about my cunt fucking kids!"
"I retract that bit about your cunt fucking kids."
"Insulting my fucking kids? That's goin' overboard man!"
-
"Why didn't you wave hello to me today when I waved hello to you today?
"I was on a very strong horse tranquilizer today. Wasn't waving hello to anybody. Except... maybe to a horse."
-
"There's a Christmas tree somewhere in London with a bunch presents underneath it that'll never be opened. And I thought, if I survive all of this, I'd go to that house, apologize to the mother there, and accept whatever punishment she chose for me: prison, death. Didn't matter. Because at least in prison and at least in death, you know, I wouldn't be in fuckin' Bruges. But then, like a flash, it came to me. And I realized, fuck man, maybe that's what hell is: the entire rest of eternity spent in fuckin' Bruges. And I really, really hoped I wouldn't die. I really,
really hoped I wouldn't die."
-
"An Uzi? I'm not from South Central Los Angeles. I need a normal gun for a normal person."
17) "...I'm so fucked up..."
-
"I want to die. Just leave me here."
"Stop talking like a stubborn little brat! Like it or not, you're still alive. Get moving and
DO something! You can die later!"
-
"Tell me, have we done the right thing?"
"How the hell should I know?"
18) "Don't put it in your pocket, sir. Don't put it in your pocket. It's your lucky quarter."
"Where do you want me to put it?"
"Anywhere not in your pocket. Where it'll get mixed in with the others and become just a coin. Which it is."
-
"Just how dangerous is he?"
"Compared to what? The bubonic plague?"
-
"That's a dead dog."
"Yes, it is."
-
"It starts when you begin to overlook bad manners. Anytime you quit hearing "sir" and "ma'am", the end is pretty much in sight."
-
"Do you have any idea how crazy you are?"
"You mean the nature of this conversation?"
"I mean the nature of
you."
19) "I don't see any. Maybe it's not as bad as all that. Oh, no, wait, there they are."
-
"It's four in the fucking morning!"
"It's Saturday!"
"No, it's not. It's fucking Sunday. And I've got to go to fucking work in four fucking hours 'cos every other fucker in my fucking department is fucking ill!
Now can you see why I'm SO FUCKING ANGRY?"
"
Fuck, yeah!"
-
"Some men tried to get into the house."
"Well are they still there?"
"I'm not sure, we've shut the curtains."
20) "I don't need a compass to know which way the wind shines."
-
"We are number one. All others are number two, or lower."
-
"You must lash out with every limb, like the octopus who plays the drums."
-
"When are you going to tear down that jeep out there?"
"Now we went through this yesterday. That "jeep" is actually an armored car of some kind. It was made to withstand bombs, I can't just rip it apart with a crowbar."
-
"Okay. Okay, you're a very furious man, you understand that?"
"No."
"No? Well you've got a lot to be furious about, and I'll tell you why: You're not well-liked. You're uh, you're abrasive and off- putting. You try and say pithy things, but your wit is a hinderance and therefore nothing is provocative. Just mixed metaphors. Now, doesn't that make you angry? Does it infuriate you?"
"No."
"Well, it should. Aren't you angry? Come on, man!"
"Your penmanship is atrocious!"
"You dress in the manner of a male prostitute!"
-
"The police ruled my father's death a suicide. They said he fell down an elevator shaft. Onto some bullets."
"Hm, yes. I've always suspected a bit of foul play was involved..."
"
As have I!"
