Movie quote quiz thingy
Okay. So. There's a meme going around where you're supposed to post a list of 15 movie quotes and something or other. I'm doing 20 quotes, and I'm not bothering with the actual meme's rules. You get one point for each movie you identify correctly and one point for each character you identify accurately. That's a total of 46 points. (Some quotes have more than one character.) If you can't identify the character, but can identify the actor, I'll give you half a point. If you can identify both, I'll give credit for the character. Also, some films are translated from other languages, so I'll give half a point if you can identify the translated quotes and another half point if you can identify the original language. Comments will be screened.
1. All your life, you live so close to truth it becomes a permanent blur in the corner of your eye. And when something nudges it into outline, it’s like being ambushed by a grotesque.
2. Character 1: Why is Queen still playing?
Character 2: Ah, we have a situation here.
Character 1: I KNOW!
3. Are you people insane? I’m the director. I make the casting decisions around here.
4. The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land.
5. God, you two are sensitive! All I’m doing is implying some kind of ugly sordid sexual liaison. I’d be proud of that sort of thing.
6. Whatcha got ain’t nothin’ new. This country’s hard on people. You can’t stop what’s coming. It ain’t all waiting on you. That’s vanity.
7. Character 1: I can’t make out whether you’re a bloody madman or just half-witted.
Character 2: I have the same problem.
8. When I come back, I expect to find you gone. Wait for me!
9. Character 1: I’m not in love with you any more.
Character 2: I didn’t know that you ever were.
Character 1: Let’s not make this any more difficult than it already is.
10. We would not seek a battle as we are, yet as we are, we say we will not shun it.
11. You’ve got an overdeveloped sense of vengeance. It’s going to get you into trouble someday.
12. Vice. Virtue. It’s best not to be too moral. You cheat yourself out of too much life. Aim above morality. If you apply that to life, then you’re bound to live life fully.
13. We’ve got armadillos in our trousers. It’s really quite frightening.
14. Character 1: You said I was your cousin!
Character 2: That was a lie. If I was a relative of yours, I’d shoot myself.
15. Well, I’ve wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I’m happy to state I finally won out over it.
16. But Captain, to obey-just like that-for obedience’s sake, without questioning, that’s something only people like you do.
17. Character 1: Is this kidnapping or robbery?
Character 2: It could be the last day of your life.
18. What’s the use of worrying about your beard when your head’s about to be taken?
19. Character 1: What if I were in a coma, and the doc says, “One more day”?
Character 2: I’d throw you into the ocean. Shock therapy.
20. I had two heart attacks, an abortion, did crack-while I was pregnant. Other than that, I’m fine.
