OK, here's my first try at this..

PRESIDENT - You don't think I should take the chance, huh?

RAND - Absolutely not.

PRESIDENT - Do you agree with Ben, Mr. XXXX? Or do you think we cna stimulate growth through temporary incentives?

MR. XXXX - As long as teh roots are not severed, all is well and all will be well in the garden.

PRESIDENT - In the garden?

MR. XXXX - That is correct. In a garden, growth has its seasons. There is spring and summer, but there is also fall and winter. And then spring and summer again.

PRESIDENT - ...Spring and summer... Yes, I see...Fall and winter. Yes, indeed.

RAND - I think what my most insightful friend is building up to Mr. President, is that we welcome the inevitable seasons of nature, yet we are upset by the seasons of our economy.

MR. XXXX - Yes. That is correct. There will be growth in the spring.

Hope that's not too much to make it too easy.

I love this movie.

It is "Being There" starring Peter Sellers.

(I even remember the stock number of the VHS copy of it in the video store I worked at in the 80's - it was stock # 1089, but only I would know that - it won't get me any extra points.

Wow Jonathan, you got it. I should have picked a more obscure scene.

Next time.

OKay, here's the next one - it'll probably be pretty easy:

"Father, forgive me. I am a worm. (laughs) I have something to say! It's better to burn out than fade away!"

It is indeed Highlander. It is spoken by Clancy Brown during the memorable church scene towards the end. (although I evidently omitted a 'to' in the quote - sorry.)

Your turn.

Don't lose your turn by delaying too long, Boudewijn!

Jonathan Jones · July 11th, 2009, 07:52 PM

Time's up. I'm taking back the conch and posting a new quote:

person 1: "I have absolute power. Say it. Say it!"

person 2: "What have you got? Is it the coyote?"

person 1: "No. Look.....Okay, now, swear it. The most excellent promise you can make. Swear, as my only brother, on our lives!"

person 2: "Don't get so heavy, I swear."

Yep. Your turn.

Paul Tauger · July 11th, 2009, 09:34 PM

This may or may not be a hard one:

Character 1: I warn you, madam - I know the entire Geneva Convention by heart!

Character 2: Oh, how nice! You must recite it for me some evening; I play the harpsichord.

Another great Peter Sellers' movie.

The Mouse that Roared
