[QUOTE=honeydewgrrl]  
Yes indeedy.

Hdg7 - “How do you feel about Cleveland?”  
[/QUOTE]

“Knock it off!” **Tootsie**

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.”

Bonus points if you can get the common thread of all these quotes. Shouldn’t be too hard.

Damn. I’ve gotta pick some harder ones…

Good luck to anyone trying to go back and find all of the ones still up for grabs. I’m taking the lazy route and just sticking to mine (with a couple of minor revisions upon de-dusting my memory)

And one more for 5:

I have two that I’ve asked that are still floating out there:

OMD8 - If there’s one thing I know, it’s never to mess with mother nature, mother in-laws, and mother freaking Ukrainians. (Clue: It’s a remake of a movie somebody else has mentioned)

OMD9 - Frankly, I’m not at liberty to divulge the particulars of the agency I work for, and all that that implies. (Clue: It’s an animated movie)

Five more, because why the heck not. I hope I don’t repeat anybody else’s movies.

OMD11 - It’s probably some kind of hunting lodge for rich weirdos.

OMD12 - I can tell you the license plate numbers of all six cars outside. I can tell you that our waitress is left-handed and the guy sitting up at the counter weighs two hundred fifteen pounds and knows how to handle himself. I know the best place to look for a gun is the cab of the gray truck outside, and at this altitude, I can run flat out for a half mile before my hands start shaking. Now why would I know that? How can I know that and not know who I am?

OMD13 - ‘Greater good?’ I am your wife! I’m the greatest _good_ you are ever gonna get!

OMD14 - I can’t believe I brought my real parents to our wedding.

OMD15 - So the combination is one, two, three, four, five? That’s the stupidest combination I’ve ever heard in my life! The kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!
