"Greatness courts failure."

Update: Another clue...
"This is for Venturi who thinks I should lay up."
"What does he know? He only won this tournament before you were born."

Update: Another one. I'll admit I've never seen this movie, so I have no idea if the clues are really obscure or would give it away.
"You know why I still hit that shot?"
"Yeah, because it's the only way you could beat Dave Simms."
"No."
"'Cause it was that look in your face..."
"I hit it again because that shot was a defining moment, and when a defining moment comes along, you define the moment... or the moment defines you."

"What a smell of sulfur."

Update: Another clue...
"Oh, Thank you so much! We've been gone such a long time and we feel so messy.."

Update: Another...
"You go away or I - I'll bite you myself! "

Update: It was pretty hard trying to find quotes that were more obscure from The Wizard of Oz. The first one is Glinda in Munchkinland after the Wicked Witch vanishes. You almost can't hear it because of other noise. The second one is Dorothy when she arrives in the Emerald City, and the third one is Dorothy to Miss Gulch when she tries to take Toto.

One of my favorites is when Dorothy runs away and meets Professor Marvel:
"Oh please, Professor, why can't we go with you and see all the Crowned Heads of Europe?"
"Do you know any? Oh, you mean the... thing. Yes. " (pointing at the side of his wagon)
