[QUOTE=Malacandra] Unnamed Romulan captain, _Balance of Terror_, original series. [/QUOTE] Correct. “Oh, grim Belisarius! Can you not see that God is a dancer, and creation his dance of joy?” “So now what?” \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* demanded. “A big show trial before the execution? Proof of my ‘crimes’ for the Proles and the newsies?” Name blanked on the latter. ---

[Quote=Baldwin] But here’s one of my favorites: 26: “Summer’s over.” (May not sound like much to go on, but it was from an iconic actor, one that people weren’t used to seeing in a death scene.) [/quote] [QUOTE=Justin Credible] Can you give a hint on this one? [/QUOTE] Sorry; delayed by work stuff. This was a movie where Bruce Dern played a crazy lowlife. Don’t know if that narrows it down much. ---

[QUOTE=Mosier] I’m having trouble remembering the character’s name, but it’s the girl with the short blonde hair from The Matrix, as whats-his-face is pulling out her plug.

I don’t think he was credited as anything other than “messenger.” So you’ve got it. **Zebra** , it’s Sir Bors. I’m curious to see if anyone will get #46. ---

Number 49 (?). “No fair!” (Hint: it’s said by an evil little boy.) ---

Regarding #46: [QUOTE=Sampiro] Is it (I can’t think of his name without imdbing him) Dennis Hopper’s character in _Blue Velvet_? {Frank? That may be Dean Stockwell} [/QUOTE] That’s not the one I had in mind, although given the generic nature of the line I wouldn’t be surprised if there were more than one instance of it being a character’s last words. ---

[QUOTE=BrainGlutton] Gage Creed in _Pet Sematary_ (film version only; in the book his last word is “Daddy!”). [/QUOTE] Yep. [QUOTE=Spatial Rift 47] That’s not the one I had in mind, although given the generic nature of the line I wouldn’t be surprised if there were more than one instance of it being a character’s last words. [/QUOTE] Didn’t think so, but since he said “Mommy” a lot and died thought I’d try him. Easy one: 1. “Dad?” (Hint: Sounds more like “dah?”; an American girl in the country of her paternal ancestors.) 2. “My God… what have I done?” (hint: The Man Who Would Be Obi Wan.) ---
