Okay … we haven’t done one of these for a while. This time around, I challenge you to keep a conversation on the board going for as long as possible, one line at a time. The twist is that every line must be a quote from a movie. It can be well-known or obscure; if it’s too obscure, it probably would be a good idea to include a reference. Please only post one line at a time; also, since multiple replies are likely, it’s probably a good idea to quote the movie quote that you’re replying to.

To start us off …

“You talkin’ to me?”
