Think carefully before you answer this one: “I planned on dying when I was 75, and here I am 77. So, if I am not going to die, I have to start saving my money.” ---

I just noticed it was in response to one of my quotes from a completely unrelated movie. At the time, I thought that was … odd? 🤨 ---

I only noticed it because my avatar is in it. Considering the two movies involved, I can’t help wondering how the poster made the connection he/she did. 😕 I didn’t answer your post because I was stumped, so I cheated and Googled the quote. 😔 ---

> [@Jack\_Batty](#): > > “You can’t be suicidal if you’re singing show tunes!” I love this movie so here’s another line from a different scene: “I’m serious when I tell you that I have to clean my bong. You can’t mix the kind with the schwag.” ---

I was going to answer “Reversal of Fortune”, which of course the line from The Lion King refers to. ---

How about this – if no one has a guess by tomorrow (Pacific time) I’ll post another line from the same scene. I don’t know if I saw this before. It sounds like _Fargo_. I posted one that I thought would be easy, but has also gone unanswered.
