Challenge us with a non-famous line from a movie

Yessir (ma’am?).

“What’ve I got to do – draw you a picture?..Spell it out?..Don’t ever ask me!..Long as you live don’t ever ask me more!”

It was in a time traveling drama on tv I saw the other night. Got me thinking about where in the play he got shot. I guess I should have blurred sockdologizing. To think that was the funniest line in the whole play.

The Searchers

That was fast! Yep.

“Anybody accidentally kills anybody in a fight, they go to jail. It’s called manslaughter. And I think all that “lethal weapon” horseshit… is just an excuse so you dancers never have to get in a real fight.”

Once upon a time in Hollywood

Dang, you guys are hard to stump.

Very good.

So who is it we’re supposed to be fighting?

No “we” in it, [character name]. This is not your fight.

Try and stop me, you jumped-up little shit.

I was trying to remember where I heard that line. After it was answered here, I remembered: I heard it delivered by an actor recreating the scene on the stage of Ford’s Theater. This was in 2004, and it was, up until that time, at least, the only time the assassination had been reenacted in Ford’s.

Believe it or not, it was for a student film, using an IMAX camera, and because Ford’s didn’t let them use the actual presidential box, they filmed in the one on the other side of the theater, and then reversed the film. As a result, all the papers used in the film, programs, sheet music, etc., were printed in reverse.

They had dozens of Civil War and other historical reenactors dressed up in period clothes for the audience, and Jeffrey DeMunn played Lincoln. During the meal break, I sat at his table, and had a nice conversation. (One of my great regrets is that at the time I didn’t remember that he played the serial killer in Citizen X, an absolutely spectacular performance. So I didn’t have a chance to tell him how great I thought he was.)

This was also the first and only time I have seen a movie armorer at work on a set. I was quite impressed with how seriously and professionally the use of the gun was handled, and the experience has given me a bit of insight in the discussion of the tragic Rust incident.

It was quite a production.

It was on TCM late last night. I stumbled on it completely by accident. It was like watching a second-season episode of Star Trek.

Nitpick: The term they used was “mutani.”

Sir, if it has to be one or the other.

And it was a lucky guess, I don’t actually recognize that particular line.

"Gesundheit "

The last line in the film.

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three

Well done

When there was no crawdads to be found, we ate sand."

Raising Arizona

“You ate what?”
“We ate sand”
“You ate sand?”

‘‘That wasn’t funny, man.’’

Aliens

Yeah, I didn’t think that would last.
