Number one is from All About Eve. Margot (Margo?) Channing says it (Bette Davis).

I think that #6 is from What Women Want. From Mel gibson to Helen Hunt? I think. I could be wrong. That’s the only one I know…

4

Is number seven “It’s A Wonderful Life”? I know you like that one, and i remember how you tricked me with it the last time…:wink:

5

Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates’mother in Psycho.

6

“I can never have children!”

Some Like It Hot, said by Jack Lemmon (as Daphne) to Joe E. Brown.

It may very well be, Kaz, but the movie I heard it in was Animal Crackers (1930), in which Captain Geoffrey T. Spaulding (Groucho Marx) speaks it to Mrs. Rittenhouse (Margaret Dumont).

You called it, Zoggie. :slight_smile: Remember the character who spoke it?

#2: Mighty Joe Young, spoken by Max O’Hara (Robert Armstrong) to Jill Young (Terry Moore).
#5: Dragnet, the 1954 movie; spoken by Sgt. Joe Friday (Jack Webb) to Max Troy (Stacy Harris).
#8: Around the World in 80 Days, spoken by Sir John Gielgud.
#9: Fireman Save My Child!, spoken by Smokey Hinkle (Buddy Hackett).
#10: Caine Mutiny, spoken by Lt. Barney Greenwald (José Ferrer) to Lt. Keefer (Fred MacMurray).

Isn’t this a mis-quote? The line is delivered in voice over by the Mrs. Bates half of Norman’s personality while in confinement. “She” sees the fly crawling on “her” hand and decides not to swat it, thinking that observers are secretly watching and will conclude “She wouldn’t even hurt a fly.”

I’ll defer to you on this one, ScriptAnalyst. I confess that my memory of the dialogue in Psycho is shaky, partly because of that horrible scene–where Vera Miles goes into the basement and sees the dressed-up skeleton of Norman’s mother seated in a chair. I was about 12 when I saw that (shortly after the theatrical release) and a lot of frightening stuff in movies gave me nightmares then. :eek:!
