Secret Cinematic Speakers Say Something

For the new players: Use a quote from a movie or a well known line from a TV show to keep a conversation going. Example: Player #1 might write "He's been mostly dead all day!" Player #2 continues with "I'm not dead yet!" Player #3 responds with "Feel lucky punk?" etc.

Look! Up in the sky!
It's a bird!
It's a plane!
It's....

the circle of life!

We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner; now I am the master.

I can't help you; I work for Señor Psychopath now.

"I work for (your underworld rival): Mr. Achilles."

Him? Look at him, he's crazy. He's like a vicious little Chihuahua thing.

- - "Matthews has gone CRAZY!
Heʻs saying that thereʻs no difference between a Republican and a Democrat!"

- - (shaking his head sadly): "That really IS crazy! Thereʻs all the difference in the world: Theyʻre IN and weʻre OUT!"

You're dead and you're still into party politics?

- - The prevalence of these "bosses" almost makes you
consider joining the (ugh!) "Other" Party!

- - The "Other" Partyʻs got them, too! In Spades!

My boss has been missing for two days. Which, in this town, means that I should probably start by looking at the bottom of the river.

I'm tellin' you, What you got is a whole lotta nothing. I say Frank Bennett got himself drunk, drove into the river and was long ago eaten up and I don't give a good goddamn! What we got us here is a case of accidental death. Case dismissed!

" - - What is that pregnant-looking envelope youʻve got?

- - (hesitantly) "Oh that?! Thatʻs - - not much of anything. Thatʻs nothing!

- - If itʻs nothinʻ, it must be a whole LOT of nothinʻ!

Nothing is what I thought it was.

Am I going mad, or did the word "think" escape your lips?

- - "Yʻsee, if I gave you a raise, Iʻd have to give all of the others a raise, too. And then youʻd still be getting less than them."

- - "Oh. I never thought of that."

- - "Well thatʻs another thing: you DONʻT think! All
the more reason for paying you less than them.

Therefore, they are free to exploit you, to cheat you, to lie to you, and to take away what is rightfully yours - your health, a decent wage, a fit place to work. I would urge you to stop them by coming down to room 207 at the Golden Cherry Motel, to pick up a union card and to sign it... It comes from the Bible - according to the tribes of your fathers, ye shall inherit. It comes from Reuben Warshowsky - not unless you make it happen.

Some people think about skiing and fancy resorts, when it snows. Me, when it snows,
I think about the workers out in the snow.

And now for the rules of the International Chinese downhill: there are none.

They're more like guidelines.

No rules, no expectations. A day where anything can happen. A day where I can change my fate.

Well, what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today.

You worry too much, old boy.

Am I too late for Alexander's panic attack?

Can we panic now?

This is no time to panic!

I like the cover. "Don't Panic". It's the first helpful or intelligible thing anyone's said to me all day.

- - Thatʻs tellinʻ him, boy!

- - Youʻre workinʻ too hard again, Jerry.

~It just got too hard.

~ It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great.

Why do you wear a mask? Were you burned by acid, or something like that?

Oh no, it's just that they're terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.

Well everyone has their own flying car, entire meals come in pill form, and the Earth is run by DAMN DIRTY APES.

What happens to us in the future? Do we become a******s or something?

Wait a minute, Doc. Ah... Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?

- - "Have you been time--traveling?!"

-- "Yes."

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.

I have no idea where he picks that stuff up.

Now, I'm only picking up bits and pieces here, of course. Overprotective mother, forbidden road trip. I mean, this is serious stuff.

I'm standing here in pieces and you're having delusions of grandeur!

Well, of course. I am the Supreme Being, I'm not entirely dim...

Do you really think it would be that easy? My mother is the goddess of wisdom and battle strategy. Do you know what that means? I always win.

A real loser is someone who's so afraid of not winning he doesn't even try.

Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.

Seeing a near suicide):
- - LYNN! Donʻt DO it!!
. . . . .
(Off camera, to director):
- - Damn! we have to do that one over again!:
Director: - - Why?
Actor: - - I called Lynn by her real name, not her role name!
Director: - - No, weʻll leave it that way; it brings out how thin is the line between reality and fantasy.

Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.

- - "Ury, be 'umble!"

- - "I'VE 'umbled some of 'em, "'umble" as I was!"

The French don't care what they do actually, as long as they pronounce it properly.

"The name is Souse'*, not "souse".#
Accent grave (sic)
on the -e."

*pronounced "Soo-Zay"
#rhymes with "house"
The accent is actually
acute, not grave.

But for certain, Senator, in grave danger you are.

AAHHH! SHARK! We're gonna die!

This shark, swallow you whole.

It's SHARKIN', and it won't be fun,
and it won't be easy.

I am a nice shark, not a mindless eating machine. If I am to change this image, I must first change myself. Fish are friends, not food.

I seek the white whale, your own son's murderer.

- - "Hast seen the White Whale?"

- -"See you THIS?"
(extending his arm, which is a prosthesis)

Look at that. (shows scar on leg) It's a bull shark. Bit me when I was taking samples.

Does this look infected to you?

George, you've heard about this virus?... Shall I cough on you, George?

Gosh, it's this old house. I don't know why we don't all have pneumonia. This drafty old barn! Might as well be living in a refrigerator.

Here lies Walter Fielding. He bought a house, and it killed him.

"Were I rich enough, I would pull down Combe Magna and build it up again in the exact image of that cottage.”
“With dark, narrow stairs, a poky hall, and a fire that smokes?”
“Especially the fire that smokes."

I never liked these curtains. I set them on fire in my fourth year. Accidentally, of course.

'Course the seats were originally brown leather now they're a pitiful red.

"Red, the color of blood;
Black, the color of night . . ."

Green is the color of will....

Now, dear, we decided pink was her color.

Green is her best color, no blue I think.

Pink is my signature color.

Who wants an orange whip? Orange whip? Orange whip? Three orange whips.

Boy or girl, I can still whip you!

You play ball like a girl!

Husband:". . they might send me to Omaha!

Wife: (an Omaha native): Well WHAT is wrong with playing baseball in Omaha?

Husband: Itʻs minor league,
but thatʻs not the main thing: Iʻm not even sure I can make the Omaha team. A manʻs gotta know where he stands!

I used to love travelling on the trains from town to town. The hotels... brass spittoons in the lobbies, brass beds in the rooms. It was the crowd, rising to their feet when the ball was hit deep. Shoot, I'd play for nothing!

Yeah, I was in the show. I was in the show for 21 days once - the 21 greatest days of my life. You know, you never handle your luggage in the show, somebody else carries your bags. It was great. You hit white balls for batting practice, the ballparks are like cathedrals, the hotels all have room service, and the women all have long legs and brains.

What would you do with a brain?

Well, some people without brains do an awful lot of talking don't they?
|

Are you saying that I put an abnormal brain into a seven and a half foot long, fifty-four inch wide GORILLA?

~ I hear it's a kind of a gorilla.

~Gee - ain't we got enough of them in New York?

Monkey? MONKEY! I'm a f***ing gorilla, you clown!

~Arthur, I wish you would do something about all these monkeys. I feel like Jane Goodall.

~Madam, I knew Jane Goodall and you are no Jane Goodall.

I'm the Doctor.

I don't believe that man's ever been to medical school!

- - why are you calling me ʻdoctorʻ? Iʻm just starting medical school now.

- - Iʻll be calling you ʻdoctorʻwhen you leave (nobody here has ever failed),
so I might as well call you ʻdoctorʻ NOW.

Sir, I want to be a doctor will all my heart.

"Aristotle says that a doctor must always have a hat."

- - "In what chapter of Aristotle does it say that?"

- - "In his chapter on HATS!"

~You got a photograph of me wearing that hat!
~Yeah, people like the hat.

Someday you could just walk past a fez.

Never gonna happen.

That fez and vest combo is much too third century.

~...You have no sense of fashion...

~I think that depends on...

~No, no, that wasn't a question.

Q> (by a White New Yorker):
What part of the country do you come from. *

A. (by a White Louisianan)
(exasperated sigh)

> Why are you refusing to play MANUELʻs recording?

* a statement (that he thinks heʻs talking to a bigoted "Redneck"), NOT a question.

I can't answer the first question, Robin, and I've never been able to answer the second.

What is the title of the book and the question to be quoted from it?

>90 rolandperkins: I think you may be in the wrong thread. This is just a movie quotes thread, no attribution required.

89 -- 91
/
Yes, Sorry, Youʻre right I mistakenly thought I was in a "Book" game thread.
But my 88 should be ok; it IS from a movie, though itʻs wrongly extended into the Statement>Question format.
(And Iʻm glad thereʻs "no attribution" required in this
thread; I canʻt always
remember the title of what Iʻm quoting!)

Not that I condone fascism, or any -ism for that matter. -Ism's in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off people.

Ditto.

Need a lift?

I'll stop a car, and I won't use my thumb!

"They* may not realize that weʻre on THEIR side?!"

*they: a police road block that 2 Right-Wingers are suddenly facing.

". . . John Lennon: . . . ʻI donʻt believe in Beatles; I just believe in me.ʻ " (93)

My "belief" sort of parallels that: I donʻt believe in Beatles; I just believe in McCartney."

It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?

// converters //

Enemy Officer: - - What religion do you belong to?

Captive: (hesitantly) -- Oh, - - I suppose --the Presbyterian.

E. O.:-- (showing a cool intellectual interest) Ah. What do you people believe?

C. - - Well, Iʻm supposed to be executed in a short time! I wouldnʻt have time to complete your conversion.

Sacrifice yourself! I don't subscribe to your religion!

"OPEN the gates of Valencia, in
the name of ALLAH!"*

*As late as this movie ( the 1970s?)
screenwriters and other writers were
using "Allah" as the translation of
the Arabic "Allah", The actual
English equivalent, more common now,
is "God".

~ I have no gate key.

~ Fezzik, tear his arms off.

~ Oh, you mean this gate key.

Are you the gatekeeper?

ʻIf a man were the keeper of Hell Gate, he should have old# turning the key! . . . Anon! . . .I pray you: remember the porter!"*

# "Old turning": Elizabethan English for "a jolly old time turning. . ."

*Porter: Elizabethan meaning: doorkeeper or gatekeeper

I remember a shadow, living in the shade of your greatness. I remember you tossing me into an abyss, I who was and should be king!

Thou shalt GET kings,
Though thou BE none!
So, all hail, Macbeth and Banquo!
Banquo and Macbeth, all hail!

Macbeth orig. by Willliam Shakespeare
(screenplay) by: Various

(pointing) "What bloody man is that?"

Proposition: I'm a king, not a man. And a very civilized king. Could it possibly be civilized to destroy the thing I love? Did they ask for this calamity? Can passion be selected?

Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west, and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce, they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

If it's one thing I despise, it's emotionalism in painting.

Is this shit good for your painting? What dʻya? See things that are not there?

- - No: you see things that ARE there -- really. At least thatʻs what I think.

I see dead people!

"(Joyfully) The president has fled, and there is nothing left but the PEOPLE, MY people!!!"

Just listen to that! The voice of Argentina! We are *adored*! We are *loved*!

"If you like, I'll play your
'Game' with you: Listen - -and all
that you can hear is - -NOTHING!"

"He and his comrades of a thousand graves
Give you the silence that you well deserve:
The silence of contempt, of wordless scorn. . . ".

Are you talkin' to me? Are you talkin' to ME?

Are you looking at me? Did you rub my lamp? Did you wake me up? Did you bring me here? And all of a sudden you're walking out on me? I don't think so, not right now. You're getting your wishes, so sit down!

Aaaaasssssss yooooooouuuuuu wiiiiiiishhhhhhh!

It's not what I wish that matters, it's what you wish!

Wish I had a million dollars...
Hot dog!

(To himself, wistfully and broodingly):
"A million francs?! A million
francs!! A MILLION francs!!!

I'm rich! I'm filthy rich!

~How come all we do is talk about money? Why don't we do something fun?

~Money is fun!

" ʻMoney, money, money, moneyʻ
Money, money money!
Can you use
Any of that stuff?ʻ "

I only use it for medicinal purposes.

A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down! Tra-la-laaa-lalalalala!

". . . . . TRA la la la!"

ʻNO good will come of it:
Tra la la LA!"

I'm singing!
I'm in a store,
And I'm singing!
I'm in a store,
And I'm siiiiiinnnnnggggiiiinnnngggg!

(whoops...some confusion in the thread. This is movie and TV quotes!)

My store is closing this week. I own a store, did I ever tell you that? It's a lovely store, and in a week it will be something really depressing, like a Baby Gap.

Babies!  You're better off growing potatoes!

That's a baby.

I know it's a baby. What is it doing there?

It's sleeping.

Now look. There is nothing in the world to get uptight about. We are two summa cum laudes. We can handle one little baby for eight hours.

"Did JENNY tell you she was going to have a baby!?"

"No, sir. I told JENNY!"

Why don't you love me, Jenny? I'm not a smart man... but I know what love is.

"Iʻm a vulgar man, but my music isnʻt vulgar."

All I wanted was to sing to God. He gave me that longing... and then made me mute.

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.

"That's a noise" grinned the Grinch, "that I simply must hear!"
He paused
And the Grinch put a hand to his ear...

Every time you hear a bell ring, it means that some angel's just got his wings.

I can fly!

"With a jet, you donʻt so much FLY it: you more WEAR it!"

~You know how to fly, don't you?

~Um, no. Do you?

Just think of a wonderful thought!

You see, George, you've really had a wonderful life. Don't you see what a mistake it would be to throw it away?

I want you to get married. I want you to have nine children. And if you only spend five minutes a day with each kid, that's forty-five minutes, and I'd at least have time to go out and get a massage or something.

Do you wanna build a snowman?

What does this song mean? My whole life, I don't know what this song means.

I think it means that if I build a baseball field out there that Shoeless Joe Jackson will get to come back and play ball again.

I have never, ever seen a worse group of twenty-five players! You don't think as a team, you don't play as a team, you don't even lose as a team!

This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains.

What do we need a scoreboard for? We haven't scored any runs all season.

Run, Forrest, run!

"They say you* canʻt have a pinch-hitter and stay in the game, but theyʻll let you have a pinch-runner and stay in the game if you do get to first on your own."

*you: Monte Stratton (James Stewart), one legged Chicago White Sox pitcher of the 1930s.

~I'm not askin' you what's on first

~What's on second

~I don't know...

- - ". . .AND I donʻt GIVE a darn!!"

- - "No, not him: heʻs the SHORTSTOP!"

"You look taller in your photographs."

"I take the precaution of a good coat and a short friend."

Don't you wanna take my picture?

- - "Would it be o k if I took a few pictures
at the party?"

- - "NO pictures."

That's why your older brother's disappearing from that photograph. Your sister will follow, and unless you repair the damage, you'll be next.

You used time-travel improperly... we must rewrite history in order to save the universe!

You must not be seen, and you would do well, I feel, to return before this last chime. If not, the consequences are too ghastly to discuss. If you succeed tonight, more than one innocent life may be spared. Three turns, should do it, I think.

Did I make it clear that your job is at stake?

I'm no fool. I've killed the boss, you think they're not gonna fire me for a thing like that?

Now if you two don't mind, I'm going to bed before either of you come up with another clever idea to get us killed - or worse, expelled.

I'll be upstairs. Making no noise and pretending that I don't exist.

Oh, he's real all right. Real annoying, real grumpy, and REALLY full of himself!

I'm not crazy, I've just been in a very bad mood 40 years!

Ian, if you're gonna be in this family, I get you some earplugs because the Portokalos women, if they're not nagging someone... THEY DIE!

Max, can you earmuff it for me?

It never fails, does it? Ever hear of the word humility? No, you wouldn't. I guess it would never occur to you to just say, 'Please mister, I'm in trouble, will you help me?' No, that would bring you down off your high horse for a minute.

What we got here is... failure to communicate.

You should learn English. You can use it not
only in America, but in Canada, Ireland, Scotland
-- Australia,New Zealand. Even in England
they understand it!

Well of *course* we tawk. Don't everybody?

Yes, you squashed cabbage leaf, you disgrace to the noble architecture of these columns, you incarnate insult to the English language! I could pass you off as the queen of Sheba.

You try living for 15 years thinking that you're one person, and then in five minutes, you find out you're a princess. Just in case I wasn't enough of a freak already, let's add a tiara!

She was the princess! I don't believe it. I must have sounded so stupid to her!

She's fair game, Joe. It's always open season on princesses.

I don't know, whaddya think? You think a princess and a guy like me...

"Thereʻs a very special ʻdollʻ over there."

You are a toy! You aren't the real Buzz Lightyear! You're -- you're an action figure! You are a child's plaything!

Hey, not now, Minion! I'm in a heated, existential discussion with this dead-eyed, plastic desk toy.

Eww. Please let that be the end of your speech.

"I will MYSELF (go) onto the rostrum FIRST!"

Third base!

This is not baseball!

~Don't you want to see Charlie Brown get a hit?

~No. I don't think I'm ready to see the world come to an end.

~I could have given you the world.

~ The world is not enough.

~ Offer me money.

~ Yes!

~ Power, too, promise me that.

~ All that I have and more. Please...

~ Offer me anything I ask for.

~ Anything you want...

There is no good and evil, there is only power...and those too weak to seek it.

It's all part and parcel to the whole genie gig: Phenomenal cosmic powers! Itty bitty living space!

"Should we leave him (a bodyguard) completely
without a job?"
"Hmm, er - - Get him a gig with the president!"

You can tell the President - and please use these exact words - "He's not my boss and he's certainly not turning this into a war!

I would have taken a bullet for you.

"For you, Jaibo, the bullet! / Para ti', Jaibo, la bala!"

~ I have a gun, in my room, you give me five seconds, I'll get it, I'll come back down here, BOOM, I'll blow their brains out!

~ Scott, you just don't get it, do ya? You don't.

Great Scott!

I like this ship! You know, it's exciting!

" ʻLady Bettyʻ, indeed! This is MY
ship no matter what name
you painted on her!"

Well, then, I confess, it is my intention to commandeer one of these ships, pick up a crew in Tortuga, raid, pillage, plunder and otherwise pilfer my weasely black guts out.

England is under threat of invasion, and though we be on the far side of the world, this ship is our home. This ship, is England. So it's every hand to his rope or gun, quick's the word and sharp's the action. After all... surprise is on our side.

That girl will rain destruction down on you and your ship. She is an albatross, Captain.

Magic always comes with a price, dearie!

I'm not asking much. Just a token really, a trifle. You'll never even miss it. What I want from you is your voice.

All I want is what I... I have coming to me. All I want is my fair share.

Trust me, my pungent friend. You'll get what's coming to you.

(Menacingly): "Donʻt worry; youʻll
be ʻtaken care ofʻ!ʻ "

Germany has declared war on the Jones boys!

"The Germans are making soldiers
outa the Natives. . ."

Are you sure this is the right place to recruit for a militia?

- - Youʻre going to be the first naval
officer ever to lead a cavalry charge!

-- Cavalry !?

~Something must be done! War would mean a prohibitive increase in our taxes.

~Hey, I got an uncle lives in Taxes.

~ No, I'm talking about taxes - money, dollars!

~Dollars! There's where my uncle lives! Dollars, Taxes!

~What are you sellin', Sam?

~ Something a certain congressman might need in the future.

~ Are you sellin' rocking chairs, Sam?

~ I'm selling Texas.

~ Now, what would I want with Norte Mexico?

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Thieves and cutpurses, the dregs of humankind all mixed together in a shallow, drunken stupor.

- - "Iʻll be more careful!"

- - "You'll be DEAD!!"

My dear partner, when what's left of you gets around to what's left to be gotten, what's left to be gotten won't be worth getting, whatever it is you've got left.

When I figure out what that means I'll come up with a crushing reply.

What an idiot!

I'm gonna give you a little advice, Claire... Scrape 'em off. You wanna save somebody? Save yourself!

I'm sure Luke wasn't on that thing when it blew.

Come now Harry, the Ministry doesn't send people to Azkaban for blowing up their aunts.

I need you to be the Ant-Man.

One question... Is it too late to change the name?

Jim! You don't ask the Almighty for his ID!

Dammit, man! I'm a doctor, not a physicist!

Cosmologist. I'm a cosmologist.

Bond. James Bond.

~I'm Ron by the way, Ron Weasley.

~ I'm Harry. Harry Potter.

Scott, I want you to meet daddy's nemesis, Austin Powers

I just hear that name and I shudder.

I see you shiver with antici...
