Ok, here’s how it works: I will quote a line from a play, which has also been a movie, and you give up the title! After 3 guesses, if no one has it, I’ll give the title and then pick another line, which _may or may not be from the same play/movie as the first quote._ If someone guesses in the 3 tries, then they get to pick the next line… … and so forth. Everyone clear? Okay, here goes… (now remember, to qualify, the quote has to come from a play that has ALSO been a movie!) > [@](#): > > “I could have conquered Europe, but there were women in my life!” ---
