The game really is quite simple. I give you five one-liner quotes from five movies I enjoy. You give me the movies (bonus for continuing comic exchanges). The first five movies to pop into my head are quite easy, and all except one are comedies. OMD1. No we shouldn’t say fuck, fuck no! OMD2. Who’s scruffy looking? OMD3. He would have an enormous schwanzstucker. OMD4. Say No More (Mon Amour) OMD5. Then how do you measure yourself with other golfers? And, obviously, keep it going by giving your own quotes and movies. ---

D1. “For a handful of coin I happen to have a private and uncut performance of _The Rape of the Sabine Women_, or rather woman, or rather Alfred, and for eight you can participate.” D2. “So it’s sorta social. Demented and sad, but social.” D3. “It’s an entirely different kind of flying. Altogether.” D4. “I like the dark. I like the dark. I love the dark … But I hate nature. I _hate_ nature!” D5. “Locked, from the inside. That can only mean one thing. And I don’t know what it is.” ---

OMD3: Well… that goes without saying. 🙂 ======= E1: Just a conspiracy of cartographers, then? E2: That was a hell of a thing. ---

Man! I see that not only did **Draelin** beat me to the answer to OMD3, but his D1 is the same movie as my E1! Great minds, I suppose… Now I’ll be spending the whole rest of the morning coming up with more nifty quotes. ---

D1 and E1 are from **Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead**. ( My favorite line from that movie is: “Hamlet, in love with the old man’s daughter, the old man thinks.”) And E2 is from **Galaxy Quest**. ---

Ok, some more: E3: As long as there’s, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll. E4: Who _are_ those guys!? E5: Rodents of unusual size? I don’t believe they exist. And my apologies **Draelin** , for gender confusion. ---

Ok, two more and then I need to actually get to work 🙂 E6: Songs _and_ dances!? E7: They don’t look like Presbyterians to me! \<- (this comes from a movie so full of great one-liners it was almost impossible to pick one. In fact, I’ll add a second from the same movie: I mean, if you get your tongue fixed, who knows, you could make millions of people happy). ---
