Actually, I’m surprised nobody beat me to it, but thank YOU! 😃

I’ll add another to my list:

S67-5: “Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. It’s been one minute since my last confession.”

Oh, and **anyrose** is correct about **Working Girl.** Anybody got the others? Come on!

Nobody has gotten these yet, except #4.

S1 - “Throw that junk in.”

S2 - “He’ll be okay.”

S3 - “We’re the people.”

S4 - Well, come see a fat old man sometime!"

S5 - No prisoners!"  
Some hints: #1 is arguably the best movie of all time. Not by me, but some say so. #2 has been fucked with by the AntiChrist. #3 means more to me living where I do, But anyone from Chicago to LA should know it. #5 should be shouted from the rooftops. 😃

Alright, I’ve completely lost track of the thread, but I’ll go ahead and do five more. 🙂

D6. I can’t believe that just fucking happened!

D7. It’s a big blue-ish green man… with a strange-looking goatee… I’m guessing that’s significant.

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. 🙂 )
