Movie Quote meme
I sometimes lurk my former sister-in-law's LJ. She posted a Movie Quotes meme that looked interesting:
1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed.
5. NO GOOGLING / using IMDb search functions.
1. Don't tell me that was it, Arnie! I mean, you gotta be kidding! That what I had you come up here for? I don't believe it! I mean she, she shows up outta nowhere without a car, without a map. She ain't got nothing but a suitcase filled with men's clothing. How come? How come she act so funny like she was gonna stay here forever? And with no clothes?! No! I don't like it! It don't make no sense at all! No, no, no, no, no! It don't make no sense!
2. ...and as they both sink beneath the waves, the frog cries out, "Why did you sting me, Mr. Scorpion? For now we both will drown!" Scorpion replies, "I can't help it. It's in my nature!"
3. G: It lacked certain elements that we need to market a film successfully.
J: What elements?
G: Suspense, laughter, violence. Hope, heart, nudity, sex. Happy endings. Mainly happy endings.
J: What about reality?
4. California? You can't write comedy in California! It's not depressing enough!
5. Maybe there won't be marriage, maybe there won't be sex, but by God there'll be dancing!
6. W: I don't know, we should have moved you out.
S: I'll survive.
W: Not if Wei Wei keeps cooking.
7. B: I don't want to leave.
C: So don't. Stay here with me. We'll start a jazz band.
8. P: It must be nice to always believe you know better, to always think you're the smartest person in the room.
J: No. It's awful.
9. Why love, if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore: only the life I have lived. Twice in that life I've been given the choice: as a boy and as a man. The boy chose safety, the man chooses suffering. The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal.
10. What family doesn't have its ups and downs?
11. H: Afraid I was gonna leave without giving you a goodbye kiss?
PL: I'd just as soon kiss a Wookiee.
H: I can arrange that. You could use a good kiss.
12. After that it got pretty late, and we both had to go, but it was great seeing Annie again. I... I realized what a terrific person she was, and... and how much fun it was just knowing her; and I... I, I thought of that old joke, y'know, the, this... this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs." Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y'know, they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and... but, uh, I guess we keep goin' through it because, uh, most of us... need the eggs.
13. You missed a very dull TV show on Auschwitz. More gruesome film clips, and more puzzled intellectuals declaring their mystification over the systematic murder of millions. The reason they can never answer the question "How could it possibly happen?" is that it's the wrong question. Given what people are, the question is "Why doesn't it happen more often?"
14. A lot of people enjoy being dead. But they are not dead, really. They're just backing away from life. *Reach* out. Take a *chance*. Get *hurt* even. But play as well as you can. Go team, go! Give me an L. Give me an I. Give me a V. Give me an E. L-I-V-E. LIVE! Otherwise, you got nothing to talk about in the locker room.
15. Ever since I was a child, folks have thought they had me pegged, because of the way I am, the way I talk. And they're always wrong.
