Return of the Son of the Movie Quote Meme II: Electric Boogaloo
As re-gakked from cousinsue: Can you tell which movies these are from without cheating by looking the quotations up on the Internet? Or figure out something about the characters or genre?
1) "I'm proud to recall that at no time at all and with no other recourses but my own resources, with firm application and determination... I made a fool of myself!"
2) "From now on we are enemies, You and I. Because You choose for Your instrument a boastful, lustful, smutty, infantile boy and give me for reward only the ability to recognize the incarnation. Because You are unjust, unfair, unkind, I will block You, I swear it. I will hinder and harm Your creature on earth as far as I am able." from Amadeus -- mamacdowell
3) "Good afternoon. Wide World of Sports is in the little republic of San Marcos where we're going to bring you a live, on the spot assassination. They're going to kill the president of this lovely Latin American country and replace him with a military dictatorship. And everybody is about as excited and tense as can be. The weather on this Sunday afternoon is perfect; and if you've just joined us, we've seen a series of colorful riots that started with the traditional bombing of the American embassy - a ritual as old as the city itself." from Woody Allen's classic comedy Bananas -- guessed by an anonymous poster who I suspect may be my Mom.
4) "Did you hear that, Duke Red? The superhuman you created is saying it doesn't need us anymore." from the anime verson of Metropolis by Osamu Tezuka -- dave_iii
5) "He's nothing. Don't worry about him. It's the Blimp next to him! The Blimp! When he puts on that mask, he'll blow your goddamn doors off!"
6) "Thank you? F*** you! Get it straight Mr Hunter, I'm not on your side. Now you could be wrong! But wrong or right, the Captain can't just replace you at will. That was completely improper! And that's why I did what I did. By the book."
7) "Alex! Alex! You're walking away from history! History, Alex! Did Chris Columbus stay home? Nooooo. What if the Wright Brothers thought that only birds should fly? And did Galoka think that the Ulus were too ugly to save?" from The Last Starfighter -- siliconivy
8) "Even their robots are insolent."
9) "Haven't I convinced you of my sincerity yet? I'm genuinely dedicated to your destruction."
10) "I put a button on it. Yes. I wish to press it, but I'm not sure what will happen if I do." from Titan A.E. -- well done shinotenshi02
11) "OK, we all have these terrible stories to get over, and you-"
"It's not true. Some have great stories, pretty stories that take place at lakes with boats and friends and noodle salad. Just no one in this car. But, a lot of people, that's their story. Good times, noodle salad." the inimitable Jack Nicholson, from As Good As It Gets -- also guessed by Mr./Mrs. Anonymous
12) "He's a southpaw. I don't want you messing with southpaws. They do everything backwards."
13) "Look on the wall behind you. Look at that little girl's face. I know you've seen it. But you know what she's never going to be able to see? She's never going to be able to see the simple wonder of a leaf in her hand. Because there's not going to be any trees. Now you think about that."
14) "Well, now, uh, read me all the words you don't understand."
"Libido, inferiority complex, stinko, blotto, free love, bathtub gin, monkey glands, Karl Marx... is he one of the Marx Brothers?" from the classic Auntie Mame -- the third guess from the Anonymous one
15) "Let's see, you're sitting in the assembly with a saint's head in your lap. I'd tell him you found it in a box of Cracker Jacks."
"No, that's no good. We gotta think of something better than that."
Enjoy!
UPDATE: Okay, some of the easier ones are out of the way, as I thought they would be. Now for a hint. Some of the remaining movies (but not necessarily the quotes from those movies) involve the following people (in no particular order): Dean Martin, Jack Nicholson, Rosalind Russell, Danny Kaye, Vincent Price & Peter Lorre, Andrew McCarthy, Woody Allen, and Denzel Washington. Maybe that'll help...
