Tuesday Post

"Well, I've got news for you. You are mine now. You belong to me."

"There is no bathroom!"

Today's Quote

"Your mother was a hamster"

Update: I agree with Mr Relational that Monty Python and the Holy Grail is more fun to quote than watch. Some parts are either too weird or too sacreligious, but there are some great quotes. Some others I like:

"Go and boil your bottoms, you sons of a silly person."
----
"Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony."

Back to Regular Quotes

No theme this week. Try this one....

"Look around, can you form some sort of rudimentary lathe? "

Update: "That was a hell of a thing." Probably set a record for quick response (5 minutes) for Galaxy Quest.

Feel free to leave your name when posting. We're friendly here.

Word #6

"glad"

Update: Very good. Pollyanna used to play the "Glad Game", choosing to look at the good side of things instead of the bad. That was pretty obscure, but it was the first time my wife got the quote without having to think, so it was probably a generational thing.

Word #5

"slime"

Update: The most common quote from Ghostbusters is "I've been slimed!", but I also like:
"Maybe now you'll never slime a guy with a positron collider, huh?"

Word #4

"offer"

Update: Leave the gun....Take the cannolis - It's The Godfather.

I was out of town the last few days so wasn't able to update as much as I would have liked. Also missed a connection and got stuck in Phoenix. Finally back.

Word #3

"relax"

Update: I was at a day spa. Day. D-A-I-Y-E!
There are a lot of great quotes from Zoolander.

Word #2

OK. These might be too easy, so in order to answer, you have to give me a quote including the word, or at least a quote from the movie.

"shrimp"

Update: Other words that would have been good for Forrest Gump:
Run
Chocolate

Word #1

"stapler"

Update: See what I mean about some words immediately identifying the movie? Here is a quote from Milton that mentions the stapler...

"they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire... "

New Theme

If I were to put "inconceivable" as the quote, everyone would know it is The Princess Bride, yesterday's movie. So this week, I am going to try single word clues. They are words that people say, so they are still technically quotes, but they also have something to do with the plot (however thin).

80s Week Finale

"I hate for people to die unhappy."

Update: "Never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line!" from The Princess Bride
I was surprised it took so long (except for Jason) to get this one. It was really hard trying to find a line that wasn't obvious, so I picked one spoken by the hard to understand Andre the Giant.

80s Week #6

"Ignore the bird."

Update: Expanded quote.

"Ignore the bird. Follow the river."

Update: "The bones tell me.." that it is Willow.

Another great exchange between the two brownies:

"We'll never catch up with those horses!
"Then we will have to track them."
"That would take forever. Besides, even if we find them, they'd only capture us, stick us in cages, torture us and finally devour us!"
"Are you suggesting we go home?"
"Nah, this is more fun."
"All right, fine then. Come on!"

80s Week #5

"Give me a milk....Chocolate!"

Update: "Great Scott!!", he got it right...'Back to the Future'

"I'm George McFly. I'm your density."

80s Week #4

"I think my eyes are getting better. Now instead of a big dark blur, I see a big bright blur."

"There's nothing to see. I used to live here you know."

Update: That was quick. "Return of the Jedi"

80's Week #3

"To the winch, wench!"

Update: Second clue...

"Never give up and good luck will find you."

Update: It's not The Princess Bride. Here's another one.

"A hole would be something."

Update: Yes. It is "Die Unendliche Geschichte" - The German title of The Neverending Story.

80's Week #2

"J.C. Penney. $3.98."

Update: OK, I guess I need to expand that quote a bit (but just a little).

"Canvas. J.C. Penney. $3.98. You like?"

Update: Here's a Friday bonus....I will expand the original quote even more and add another one.

Quote 1
"Hey, what kind of belt do you have?"
"Canvas. J.C. Penney. $3.98. You like?"
"No, I meant..."
"In Okinawa, belt mean no need rope to hold up pants."

Quote 2
"Hey, where did these old cars come from?"
"Detroit."

Update: "Wax on, wax off"...It's The Karate Kid. (Get him a body bag!)

80's Week #1

"I hit the wrong note. I'm not Liberace you know!"

Update: Jason seems to think he knows....Here are some other quotes. Tell me if he is right:

"In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max's toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play."
----------
"Pinchers of Peril... saved by my Pinchers of Peril!"
----------
"First you gotta do the truffle shuffle."
----------
"I'm setting booty traps."

Update:It has been confirmed that this is from The Goonies.
