Movie Quotes Meme

Fridge tagged me with this, so here goes.

Instructions: Look up 15 of your favorite films on IMDb and take a quote from each. List them below. When someone guesses the quote correctly, cross it off the list. Leave a comment with your answers. And NO CHEATING.

1. I do have a test today, that wasn't bullshit. It's on European socialism. I mean, really, what's the point? I'm not European. I don't plan on being European. So who cares if they're socialists? They could be fascist anarchists. It still doesn't change the fact that I don't own a car. (Chemist)

2. JUST a bit outside.(Chemist)

3. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit. (Chemist)

4. Chief, I was just wondering: I suppose that mangy red-bone hound's got no place else to go either. [spits tobacco juice on the dog's forehead] (Mr. Furious)

5. But I think this is the only way to find that boy. Now that penis had a mole on it - I'd recognize that penis anywhere. In spite of the juvenile snickers of some, this is a serious matter. That seducer and despoiler must be stopped; he's extremely dangerous. (Angelos!!)

6. Stupid, worthless, no good, goddamn, freeloading son of a bitch. Retarded, big mouth, know-it-all, asshole, jerk. You forgot ugly, lazy and disrespectful. Shut up bitch. Go fix me a turkey pot pie. No dad, what about you? Fuck you. No dad, what about you? Fuck you. Dad, what about you? Fuck you. (Angelos)

7. Now, I had heard that word at least ten times a day from my old man. He worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was his true medium; a master. (Chemist)

8. It's K-K-K-Ken c-c-c-coming to k-k-k-kill me.(Angelos)

9. Since you're new here, I'm gonna cut you a break... today. So, why don't you make like a tree and get out of here? (Chemist)

10. When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs
Ev'ry morning to help me get large
And now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs
So I'm roughly the size of a barge!
(Michelline)

11. You know, I can't believe this, [...]. I'm so disappointed in us. I mean, all our lives we've been saying how great it would be if we went to parties, right? And now it's our party and we're in the john. We're in the john! (Chemist)

12. Think big, think positive, never show any sign of weakness. Always go for the throat. Buy low, sell high. Fear? That's the other guy's problem. Nothing you have ever experienced will prepare you for the absolute carnage you are about to witness. Super Bowl, World Series - they don't know what pressure is. (Angelos)

13. I don't know why they call this stuff hamburger helper. It does just fine by itself, huh? I like it better than tuna helper myself, don't you, ...? (John)

14. There's no way on earth we're going to get out of here tonight. We'd have more luck playing pickup sticks with our butt-cheeks than we will getting a flight out of here before daybreak. (Toast)

15. Look, I like you, I really like you, but I gotta tell you, I have become seriously and emotionally involved with someone who isn't my aunt. (John)

Bah. Boiler Room is wrong, and the right answer is so damn obvious!

I love that movie (the right answer), by the way.

Angelos said...

Chemist beat me to 2 and 3.

5. Porky's !!!!!!
6. Breakfast Club
8. Fish Called Wanda
12. Trading Places (the movie I've more times than any other).

You are so fucking wrong, Chemist!!!

Toast said...

14. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

Boiler Room sounded wrong as soon as I hit "submit comment". When I looked it up I literally hit my forehead with my hand. That's such a great movie, how could I have missed it?

Chris Howard said...

Hey, when did we stop using popup comments?

Damn, you guys are fast. I hadn't even told anyone I was done yet. I probably included too much from some of those, especially Trading Places, but I couldn't resist.

Chemist, Wasn't Weird Science before your time? :) I removed Wyatt's name from that quote, but you got it anyway.

Angelos, I've probably seen Porky's a hundred times. It was an 80's HBO staple. "Has anyone seen Mike Hunt?"

Chris Howard said...

I think there's only one movie here that's not from the 80's.

And for the record, as I mentioned, I suck at these. I would only get about half of my own quotes.

Chemist, Wasn't Weird Science before your time? :)

Yeah, but it's been on TV about four million times since it came out. Same deal for Trading Places. And I've seen Porky's a bunch too; that quote was really familiar but I couldn't place it.

4. The Outlaw Josey Wales.

It was a tough ommission for me, there are so many great lines in that movie...

I was hoping someone would get that. I love that movie. This one's really not a quote so much as an image. The tobacco juice on the dog's head is an enduring image.

Went to school 4-9th grade with a kid named Mike Hunt. True story.

Chris Howard said...

I'm a little surprised that 13's still around. I always think of that line when I see a box of Hamburger Helper. I think John will get that when he checks in. #1 is a memorable movie but this quote is probably a little more obscure.

Anonymous said...

After looking again #1 sounds like it's from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

For #13 I'll guess Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead. No, I don't know why I'm guessing that. I've only seen that movie once, maybe twice.

Chris Howard said...

Yep, one of my favorite movies ever. It's the part about the car that makes it fair, I think.

Nope on 13. I think I've only seen that movie once.

We stopped using pop-up comments when Firefox or Blogger or something involved in there decided I couldn't resize the comment window.

Also, the main reason I went to them in the first place was so it didn't take you away from the main page, but now with everyone using tabs, that's not much of a concern.

I also got rid of the captcha, and figured if we start getting any comment spam, I'll just delete it.

Chris Howard said...

holy shit yours were so much easier than everyone else's.

There are two reasons for that, I think. One, you and I watched a whole lot of the same movies in the 80's, and two, it was a lot easier than everyone else's. I have a good memory overall, but not for random quotes from movies.

Correct on Vacation of course. I'm surprised one of the other guys didn't get that. You can't get #15? I think we saw that together. Great movie, and probably underrated.

Secret of My Success.

Chris Howard said...

Hey you got it. I need to see that movie again. I wanted to post this exchange, but it didn't really fit the 'guess the quote' format -

Howard Prescott: Let me get this straight - Brantley is Whitfield?
Brantley Foster: That's right. Brantley is Whitfield; Whitfield is Brantley.
Vera Prescott: And Christy is the bimbo! Well, now that we've all had Mouseketeer roll call, I'm just going to go call my lawyer.
Howard Prescott: [lying] No, wait a minute. Christy is not the bimbo I was screwing around with at the office.
Christy Wills: People better stop calling me bimbo!
Howard Prescott: It was an entirely different bimbo altogether.
Vera Prescott: That's fine; how many bimbos would you say there were?
Howard Prescott: I misspoke myself. There weren't any bimbos at all.
Brantley Foster: Except Christy.
Howard Prescott: Right. No!

I know # 10!!! It's Beauty and the Beast. Woohoo!!! I got one!

Mike said...

Is 10 The Cat in the Hat?

michelline said...

Is 10 The Cat in the Hat?

No, it's definitely Beauty and the Beast. It's Gaston singing to his friends after Belle turns him down. It's a great song.

Chris Howard said...

Michelline got #10. So that closes out my meme. That was fun. Maybe I'll do another one like we used to do back in the old days.
