OK, it works like this. I quote a line from a movie. The next poster has to name the movie (or even better, just quote another line from the same movie). Then that poster gets to quote a line from a different movie, and the game continues. Please don’t use really obscure movies, or this game could end in a hurry. If the game stalls for too long, the last poster (who has presumably stumped us) should give us a new quote. I’ll start with an easy one: “I love the smell of napalm in the morning!” ---

I keep coming back to Gabriel’s quote thinking that it’s from the movie **Friday** but I can’t be sure. For that reason, I’m not posting a quote (except for the one in my signature) until Gabriel confirms or denies the source. * * * “Man looks in the abyss, there’s nothing staring back at him. At that moment, man finds his character. And that is what keeps him out of the abyss.” ---
