Hackers. When I had a job coding late at night with my co-workers, we used to say we were “hacking the Gibson”

Mine: “I’m afraid..”

Ya never hear Little Joe say, “Hey, Hoss, I went to Virginia City and I saw a girl with the greatest ass I’ve ever seen in my life.” They just walk around the Ponderosa: “Yes, Pa, where’s Little Joe?” Nothin’ about broads. I don’t think I’m being too picky. But, if at least once, they talked about getting horny. I don’t care if you live on the Ponderosa or right here in Baltimore, guys talk about getting laid. I’m beginning to think that show doesn’t have too much realism.

…when you get that little red beaver right up there in front of you, I don’t think it’s crazy at all and I don’t think you do either.

Ooops, Sorry. I didn’t wait until someone else responded.

Barbara Billingsly \<sp?\> in _Airplane_

and Jack Nicholson in _One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest_.

Both great movies.

Correct as to the second and third, **Satchmo**.

The first is from _Close Encounters of the Third Kind_, when the NASA scientists at Devil’s Tower are talking about the aliens.

The fourth is from _Pride & Prejudice_, when Elizabeth takes Darcy’s hands in her own before they kiss.

The fifth is from _Chitty Chitty Bang Bang_, when Potts initially fails to convince Mr. Sweet to make his Toot Sweet candies.

You’re even further from 50 than I am…

And anyway, kids nowadays… They think it’s from _[Independence Day](http://www.moviefanatic.com/quotes/im-not-jewish-well-nobodys-perfect/)_ 😛 (and yes, it’s clearly an homage to SLIH)

…

“Soylent Green is made of people!”

“No!” (Or maybe “Non!” ?)  
And it’s remarkable for being the **only** line in the movie 🙂
