I’m begging you, please say what movie the line is from. While I recognize 80-90% of the unattributed quotes I’ve seen in this thread, and you might think the quote is *so obvious that no one could possibly NOT KNOW * what movie it’s from, trust me, some people out there actually do not know. Do all those poor ignorant bastards a favor and tell them what movie your quote is from.
