There has been a plethora of moved threads tonight. On seeing the latest my brain chose a remembered line from a movie and changed it [subject].

It then came up with another hairbrained idea for a thread.

So.

Guess the movie the title line is from and then post your own line, changed a bit, from another movie.

Rule1 - You can’t change the line beyond resemblance with the original.

Rule2 - The movie has to be relatively well known.

From **Falling Down** , the Nazi in the surplus store: “This was USED, man… this was actually USED!”

Now: “Do we have the capacity to make beer? Most humans have enjoyed that privilege since the Stone Age.”

Ooh! Ooh! _Goonies!_🙂

This one comes from a hackneyed email chain joke, but I actually use it _a lot_.

Star Wars. “I find your lack of faith disturbing”
