The Movie Quote Game

Jonathan Jones · February 9th, 2007, 01:36 PM

Cool. It was synchronicity at work. Ten minutes before you offered your hint, I had just read about Peter Weller's new career in the current issue of Wired, and I had just gotten to thinking about Buckaroo Banzai and had it on the brain as I read your post. Weird.

Okay, I'll post the next one in a few minutes.

Okay, here's an easy one.

Person 1: (forced whisper) "We thought you was a toad."

Person 2: (quizzical look with a silent "huh?")

Person 1: "We...thought...you...was...a...TOAD!"

Lorinda Norton · February 9th, 2007, 07:38 PM

That movie is rife with quotable lines! (At least I think I've got it right.) Nice choice, Jonathan. If you can, give a couple more before we "r-u-n-n-o-f-t" to another one. :)

"Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"

Jonathan Jones · February 9th, 2007, 08:23 PM

Yeah, the Cohen brothers tend to make movies that are completely filled with quotable lines. One of my all time favorites continues to be Raising Arizona which I quote from all the time.

Here are a few more from "Oh Brother" before you carry us into the next round:

----
"Sorry, Pete. I know we're kin but...they got this depression on. I got to do for me and mine."
-----

"I'm a Dapper Dan man."

----

Pete: "You stole from my kin!"

Ulysses: "Who was fixin' to betray us."

Pete: "You didn't know that at the time!"

Ulysses: "So I borrowed it till I did know."

Pete: "That don't make no sense."

Ulysses: "Pete, its a fool looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart."

----

Delmar: "And we was beat up by a bible salesman, and banished from Woolworths....I don't know Evert, was that the one branch or all of em?"

------

Okay Lorinda,
Your turn to set up the next round.

Ahh...those were great! Think I'll be digging it out for a late movie tonight. Thanks.

Here's something for "kids:"

#1: Do you really want to kill me?

#2: Just think of it as...you're being let go...that your life's going in a different direction...that your body's part of a permanent outplacement...

#3: Hey! That's kinda like what he said to you when you got fired.

#2: I know. It's called a cruel irony...like my dependence on you.

Yup! Finally, someone with kids came along! Take it, Mike. :)

Thanks, Lorinda!

I can see you. I know who you are. I watch you... I KNOW. I am what you see. I am what you watch. I am it. I am the hands. I am the feet. I am the eyes. I am the body. I. AM. (Obvious reference deleted) THE WATCHER. THE FEAR. THE ETERNAL. THE SAINT! You are nothing.

Good luck!

I'm shocked that this one hasn't been guessed yet. I'm not going to post the answer myself, because I don't want take the conch for the next round as my brain is jelly from a long editing session.

But someone needs to be able to guess this one. This film is practically REQUIRED WATCHING for anyone who possesses even a passing interest in the creation of motion pictures.

Great quote, Mike.

"These are great days we're living in, we're jolly green giants walking the earth..........with guns"

i don't expect this one to last very long.

At one time, I was that fat teen with a crush on the pretty girl.

Alex Sprinkle · February 12th, 2007, 01:47 PM

Great job! That was one of my favorite movies growing up. Your quote!

Hugh DiMauro · February 12th, 2007, 01:57 PM

"They?! Who in the hell is they?"

"Haw haw haw haw! They? Why they is as plain and fancy they! That's who they is! Caught ya, didn't they? Tied a tin can to your tail! Led you in and waltzed you out again! Ha ha ha ahhh ha Oh my, what a bunch! Big tough ones, eh? Here you are with a hand full of holes, a thumb up yer ass and a big grin to pass the time of day with! Theyyyyyy! Who the hell is theyyyy!"
