Challenge us with a non-famous line from a movie

Since no one has gotten these, I’ll give it away: Hero (Michael Crawford as a skinny young man) and Philia in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.

“He cheats – pretty good at it, too.”

The Sting?

I’ll give you a hint: The soon-to-be lynched defendant is Vincent Price playing a real historical figure. (And Price is not the movie’s male lead.)

YES! Said by JJ (Ray Walston) of Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw).

Maybe you’re like me and you’ve seen the movie about 20 times. The Sting is one of a handful of movies that I consider perfect.

Mr. Miller: “He’s offering you a drink of sulfur water.”
Roxy: “A prehistoric gentleman, huh?”

“No tears for your former boss?”
“I’m wearing black underwear.”

“I was kinda like a one-man force, like Charlton Heston in Omega Man. Didja see it? Beauty.”

And from the other end of the cinematic spectrum,

“After you have finished your true stories sometime, why don’t you make up a story and the people to go with it? Only then will you understand what happened and why. It is those we live with and love and should know, who elude us.”

The Hot Rock!

“How do you want your eggs? Poached, fried or raw?”
“Scrambled----like your head.”

Yep.

Discourse can kiss my skinny, white, unruly, British ass.

“Let’s go out dancing! You put on your black dress, and I’ll go shave my tongue.”

I don’t want to cheat by looking up the name of the main actor, but this is from “Brigham Young, Pioneer” I think. Vincent Price played Joseph Smith.

First saw it as a child and seen it many many times, i actually left it long enough between seeing it multiple times as a kid and then seeing as an adult to forget one of the twists, whoch was cool being surprised by again. I love Robert Shaw, everything I’ve seen him in he is amazing.

You got it, well done! :+1:

The male lead was Tyrone Power; female lead, Linda Darnell.

“Just because we’re Mormons.” :frowning_face:

Easy one:

“Little bastard shot me in the ass!”

Oddly enough, Power did not play Brigham Young. Dean Jagger did.

The Trivia section of the IMDB on The Sting is really interesting. Lonnegan’s limp was not originally planned. Shaw hurt his knee playing handball right before filming began and they just made it part of the character. I think I finally got all the twists sorted out about the 12th time I saw it.

Blazing Saddles, of course.

Remember that line the next to you see Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka, when he first meets Mike Teevee in his cowboy outfit.

Yes! :+1:
