Me sad because people are posting scads of new quotes, but only one of mine has been guessed (or even tried, for that matter . . .). Here’s a recap; anyone? Anyone? Bueller? [QUOTE=Scarlett67] S67-1: “Have conversations with people whose clothes are not color-coordinated!” S67-2: “What do we love?” “Pain!!” S67-3: “How’d you do, pussyboy?” S67-4: “I’ve got a head for business and a bod for sin.” **Correctly guessed: Working Girl** Bonus points if you can get the common thread of all these quotes. Shouldn’t be too hard. [/QUOTE] > [@](#): > > S67-5: “Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. It’s been one minute since my last confession.” > [@](#): > > Bonus if you can name BOTH movies I’m thinking of that it’s in: > > S67-6 **(correctly renumbered)**: “Jesus, what a family!” ---

No one’s guessed any of mine. Well, one person tried. None of them are obscure movies, eiter. Some of them are over two decades old, but not obscure. ---

## Alright, this got totally out of hand but I didn’t want the game to die. Here are the ones that haven’t been answered correctly, as far as I could tell (a lot of people did not acknowledge correct answers to their quotes): E6: Songs and dances!? ## EPF 1: “Alcohol equals puke equals smelly mess equals nobody likes you.” ## BR3: There’s fuckin’ room to move up as a fry cook. I could be manager in two years. King. God. ## Hdg3 - “And the ‘H’ is for…?” “Homeless.” Hdg5 - “Good morning, Sir! I’ve come to return the book I borrowed.” Hdg6 - “That’s her Social Security number, asshole. She works for you.” ## MTS # 11- That fuckin idiot dont know rat shit from rice krispies. MTS#12- can’t so much as drink a glass of water around a midget or a piece of antique furniture. MTS #13-I didn’t tell you sanitation. I told you to tell them you was in a sanitarium not sanitation ## SF1: “I once had a woman treat me like that. It didn’t make her my wife.” ## S67-1: “Have conversations with people whose clothes are not color-coordinated!” S67-2: “What do we love?” “Pain!!” S67-3: “How’d you do, pussyboy?” S67-5: “Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. It’s been one minute since my last confession.” S67-6: “Jesus, what a family!” ## any4: “He called me ‘Mike’” any6: Is this the fun part? Are we having fun yet? any7: We all know where this is going… f%@#ing teenagers. any9:She: I don’t smoke, I only drink champagne when I’m lucky enough to get it, my hair is naturally natural, I live alone… and so do you. He: How do you know that? She: Because you’re wearing one brown sock and one black sock. any10: I think I shall have to hang you twice. any12: It just shows to go ya ## D4. “I like the dark. I like the dark. I love the dark … But I hate nature. I hate nature!” D6. I can’t believe that just fucking happened! D8. Tell them that joke you know. D9. This morning, my little brother got his arm caught in the microwave. D10. Carpe the diem! Seize the … carp! (That one’s for the hardcore “I know this movie is probably going to suck, but I’m going to watch it anyway” viewers. We find the gems among the regular ol’ rocks. ) ## Scr05: “The one thing that bothered me, the one thing that stayed in my mind and I couldn’t get rid of it, that haunted me, was why. Why would she lie? What was her motive for lying? If my client is innocent, she’s lying, why? Was it blackmail? No. Was it jealousy? No. Yesterday I found out why. She doesn’t have a motive, you know why? Because she’s not lying… And ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the prosecution is not going to get that man today, no, because I’m gonna get him! My client, the Honorable Henry T. Fleming, should go right to fucking jail!” ## KZ02: “Well with that philosophy you must’ve had a provocative career!” KZ04: “So you have two udders, then, Barker? I always suspected as much.” KZ06: “I know what you’re thinking. And you oughtta be ashamed of yourself.” ## B1: I found that if you have a goal, that you might not reach it. But if you don’t have one, then you are never disappointed. And I gotta tell ya… it feels phenomenal. (I actually live by this quote) B5: There is no conspiracy. Nobody is in charge. It’s a headless blunder operating under the illusion of a master plan ## Z2 Are we the first!? Z3 Who invented liquid soap and why? Z4 I know it was you F\_\_\_\_. You broke my heart. Z5 Well the way things are stinks! I’m not going to be a gonner. I’m gone! ## Ril2: “Do you want me to pour it?” Ril4: “I doubt I’ve worked off the calories from a stick of Carefree gum!” Ril5: “You do what you gotta do…and I’ll do what I gotta do…and what happens…happens.” ## PG5: “Dead men don’t hump, dead women don’t get pregnant.” PG10: “I’m doing a paper on you.” PG11: “Machine men with machine hearts.” ## S10 - “This world is so full of crap, a man’s gonna get into it sooner or later whether he’s careful or not.” S16 - “That is all.” S19 - “I hope we never die.” “So do I.” “Do you think there’s any chance of it?” ## IM6) “Who are you callin’ ‘oopid-stay’?” IM7) “Okay Winston, here comes the truth…!” IM8) " ‘Dot, Dot Dot’ " IM9) “There is, in your Bible, a fantastic tale about an apple and a snake.” ## W1: “He said I’d never be rich doing pure research” W3: “Is he f\*\*\*ing the Jew’s wife?” W5: “And his pecker don’t work no more, neither!” W6: “You haven’t got a pen, have you, your honor?” W8: “And the bishop said I couldn’t preach!” W9: “And don’t do crack, it’s a ghetto drug.” ## JC2 - “I want a life that is mine” JC4 - “There are 72,519 stones in my walls, I’ve counted them many times.” ## EoA5: “Where the hell can I get eyes like that?” ## SZ1: Stupidity…has a habit of getting its way. SZ2: Come down and eat chicken with me, beautiful. It’s so dark. SZ3: Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate; our greatest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. SZ5: In memory of the countless victims among your people, I ask us to observe three minutes of silence. ## F3) “Kiss me. The liar’s kiss that says I love you and means something else.” Gh1: “You know me…and I sure know you. Every one of you!” Gh2: “There are no pacts between lions and men.” (Ok, yeah so I had some time to kill.) My guesses: Hdg5 - “Beauty and the Beast” any9 - “Desk Set” any10 - “The African Queen” D4 - “The Goonies” B1 - “Dodgeball” JC2 - “Memoirs of a Geisha” ---
