Here are the rules. 1. I will supply the first movie quote. 2. To respond, you must identify the movie in which the quote originated. 3. You may then supply a quote of your own. 4. The quote must be one that is strongly associated with the given movie, not something obscure. 5. The quote must be unique to the movie, not one that is repeated in a great many movies of the same type or in a series, “Bond. James Bond” would be unacceptable, as it occurs in all but one of the James Bond movies. 6. If anyone does not follow these rules, well, all I can really do is whine and moan, so I guess we’ll just go on the honor system. “I don’t want to buy, sell, or process anything. I don’t want to buy anything sold or processed, sell anything bought or processed, or process anything bought or sold.” What movie? ---

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Here’s mine: Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don’t know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip. ---

Airman Doors’s first quote is from “Full Metal Jacket.” The second one, I think, might be from “Dirty Dancing.” “Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night.” ---

I feel dumb… I have forgotten the name of the movie, but it has Patrick Swaze in it and he is a dancer… really popular movie. I am gonna go with… “Life after death is as impossible as sex after marriage.” ---

Has no one answered Kayeby’s quote: “I believe in America. America has made my fortune”? Doesn’t the undertaker say that to Don Corleone in the wedding scene in The Godfather? Total guess on “I shot an arrow in the air. She fell to earth in Berkley Square” - is that from A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square? goboy’s “Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night” is from All About Eve. Here’s mine submission - another oldie: “I _am_ big. It’s the pictures that got small.” ---
