Here’s one that comes with a hint. “It’s on and we’re going.” It’s the first line of the movie. ---

Good pick, Jack Batty. My favorite line from that film: > **Swan:** When we see the ocean, we figure we’re home. We’re safe. So if I don’t have to answer a quote to pose one, I’ll toss out an easy one that came to mind: > You don’t know anything about Marshall McLuhan’s work > I happen to teach a class in Columbia called “TV, Media and Culture” and I think my insights into Mr. McLuhan come with a great deal of validity. > Oh do you? Well that’s funny because I happen to have Mr. McLuhan right here, So so…come here… > Marshall McLuhan: I heard what you were saying. You know nothing of my work. You mean my whole fallacy is wrong. How you ever got to teach anything is totally amazing. ---

Yes of course. I wanted to just get him for the Fellini opinions. I attended a Fellini Fest at Columbia so of course I talk to my dates about nothing but him, right or wrong. So it’s one line. I’ll try again, yet this isn’t too obscure and was a book: > “We are not so very different, you and I. We’ve both spent our lives looking for the weaknesses in one another’s systems. Don’t you think it’s time to recognize there is as little worth on your side as there is on mine?” ---

The last one is _The Blues Brothers_. The others sound familiar, so I’m curious to know how they’re all related.
