I think I’m gonna be a lousy wife. But don’t be angry with me. I love you very much – and I’m very sexy!
Barefoot in the Park
“You’re an accountant? Good! Then account for yourself!”
…from The Producers
try this one for size: “Hello Devil, welcome to hell.”
Inherit the Wind
“It is true that at present His Majesty is a double gentleman; but as soon as the circumstances of his marriage are ascertained, he will, ipso facto, boil down to a single gentleman – thus presenting a unique example of an individual who becomes a single man and a married man by the same operation.”
Gilbert and Sullivans’ The Gondoliers … a superb choice.
“This stinks.”
“Not ‘stinks,’ darling. If absolutely necessary, ‘smells’ – but only if absolutely necessary.”
O.K., Dex, now I get your username. Just never put 2 and 2 together before. Fancy yourself a bit of a Cary Grant do you?
Your quote of course from:
The Philadelphia Story
I just want to mention that I never knew **The Lost Boys **was ever a play (just like I didn’t know about Roadhouse, but we have seen that I was wrong there) and I never knew there was a film version of Cats.
When my parents told me they had been offered roles in the film version of Cats, I said to them:
“He offered you parts in Cats? I thought you hated Cats. You said it was an all time low in a lifetime of theatre going. You said, ‘Aeschylus did not invent the theatre to have it end up a bunch of chorus kids in cat suits prancing around wondering which of them will go to kitty-cat heaven.’”
Six Degrees of Seperation
I, too, am unfamiliar with a stage version of The Lost Boys, but I won’t let it get in the way of my enjoyment of the game.
“Shooting a man in the middle of his stanza? That’s just not good form!”
Peter Pan (the Disney version)
I thought the line was “…in the middle of his cadenza”.
“Foul! No grunts.”
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
and if my memory serves me…
“I could peel you like a pear and God himself would call it justice!”
And we are back to The Lion in Winter. For a movie I didn’t like very much, it sure had some truly phenomenal lines.
Lessee…okay, here’s a more obscure one.
“When you free fall find if heaven waits”
Kizarvexius, if you can point me to a film version of All in the Timing/Universal Language I would love to know more about it. I’ve been involved in a couple of productions of these short David Ives plays and they’re great! But, unless you know of a film version that my research has not revealed, I suspect that we’re missing an element of the OP:
If I’m wrong please correct me, I would love to see how any filmmaker would approach this material!
Here we go. . .
“Man say to his woman: I got me a dream. His woman say: Eat your eggs.”
A Raisin in the Sun.
Mine:
“Will those who wish to live…er…will those who wish to leave, please do so as quietly as possible.”
Eeeek. I was having so much fun playing the game that I forgot the “or a play WHICH HAS ALSO BEEN A MOVE” part. Only thought of it as “play or movie”. My apologies. (thwack)
But yes, you are absolutely correct. Universal Language from All in the Timing by David Ives. A work of towering genius.
Our Town?
Sorry Buckle, but it isn’t Our Town
The Dresser
“Who needs sight; we have vision!”
Yes!
But unfortunately, I don’t know yours.
I’m Not Rappaport
*Freddy! That little coward who couldn’t get a job boxing groceries even if he had the guts to apply for it? You’d marry him!"
My Fair Lady?
Yep. Your turn.
Well, it’s been over 48 hours with no new posts, so I will just go ahead and restart it.
“Murray, lend me $20.00 or I’ll call your wife and tell her you’re in Central Park wearing a dress.”
