[ladymirth]

Taken from Tonya's lj.  

Here's how we play:
A. Pick 16  20 movies.
B. Then pick one of your favorite quotes from each movie.
C. Post the quotes in your journal.
D. Have those on your friends list try to guess what the movie is.
E. Place the guesser’s username directly after the quote.

 

I think mine will be pretty easy, because I’ve only included some of the biggest box-office hits in recent years. But y’all all better come play, ‘cause I took a bit of trouble to put together this one. Remember, NO googling!

 

Ready, steady, go!

 

1. “Oh, come on, there must have been something you liked about me.”
   ”You have a nice car. And - quite nice manners, outside the bedroom. But that's about it. And by the way, I know exactly where Germany is. The question is, do you know the location of your arsehole?”
   ”As a matter of fact I do know the exact location of my arsehole. And hers, for that matter.”

2. “What's his type? Wilting flower? Bright and bubbly? Or smoldering temptress?”
   ”I'd say... smoldering temptress.”

3. “We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet... I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things... all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness'."

     4.   “Your wife?”
            “Ex-wife…who is living in my ex-house with my ex-dog.”

 

5. “And I realized that as dire chance and-and-and fateful cockup would have it, here I am, mid 50s, and without knowing it I've gone and spent most of my adult life with a- with a chubby employee. And-and much as it grieves me to say it, it-it might be that the people I love is, in fact... you.”
   [pause]
   ”Well, this is a surprise.”
   ”Yeah.”
   ”Ten minutes at Elton John's, and you're as gay as a maypole.”

 

6. S: “Good afternoon. We're gonna have a great jump today. Okay, first crank a hard cutback as you hit the wall. There's a screaming bottom curve, so watch out. Remember: rip it, roll it, and punch it.”       M: “It's like he's trying to speak to me, I know it.”

 

7. “Do you know how to use that thing?”
   ”Yes. The pointy end goes into the other man.”
   [sighs] “This is going to take a lot of work.”

 

8. “Too many guys think I'm a concept, or I complete them, or I'm gonna make them alive. But I'm just a fucked-up girl who's lookin' for my own piece of mind; don't assign me yours.”
   ”I remember that speech really well.”
   ”I had you pegged, didn't I?”
   ”You had the whole human race pegged.”

 

9. “Has the sea of raging hormones ebbed?”

 

10. “17 million people. This is got to be the fifth biggest economy in the world and nobody knows each other. I read about this guy who gets on the MTA here, dies.”
    ”Oh.”
    ”Six hours he's riding the subway before anybody notices his corpse doing laps around L.A., people on and off sitting next to him. Nobody notices.”

 

11. “Because they come to destroy that what I have come to love.”

 

12. “Oh. So I don't need to fetch Stephen from the airport tomorrow?”
    ”Well, if you speak to him and he decides to rethink the divorce, then yes, fetch away. You are very fetching. So, go fetch.”

 

13. “Young boys should never be sent to bed... they always wake up a day older.”

 

14. “We all surrendered, what did you expect? What were you trying to prove by going to war? Your place was here with your family. I loved you, but that wasn't enough was it? You want to leave not because of the war, you want to leave me, remember when you told me "I know a place where no one can bother our children when they are playing"?”

 

15. “To look life in the face, always, to look life in the face and to know it for what it is. At last to know it, to love it for what it is, and then… to put it away.”

 

16. “Now, on the one hand, it is very difficult for a man to even speak to someone who looks like you. But, on the other hand, should that be your problem?”
    ”So life's kind of hard all around.”
    ”Not if you pay attention. I mean, you're sending all the right signals - no earrings, heels under two inches, your hair is pulled back, you're wearing reading glasses with no book, drinking a Grey Goose martini, which means you had a hell of a week and a beer just wouldn't do it. And if that wasn't clear enough, there's always the "fuck off" sign that you have stamped on your forehead.”

 

17. “What was the point of all those push-ups if you can’t even lift a bloody log?”

 

18. “You actually go outside in these things? “
    ”Well, what would you prefer? Yellow spandex?”

 

19. “So, uh, you play the beautiful game... bros... brothers... brethren?”

 

20. “This ain't no Democracy.”
    ”Yes it is.”
    ”No it ain't. This is the United States of James Carter. I'm the President, I'm the Emperor, I'm the King. I'm Michael Jackson, you're Tito. I own yo ass.”

Oh, honey. You can cry on my shoulder all you want. I'd be crying all over Livejournal if it were me. *hugs*

But you know, the more famous the films are, the easier it will be to replace them.

You should come to Asia, where the movies are dirt cheap. In SL, a DVD sells for like 2 dollars. Bet you could replenish half your stock in no time. Hurray for purchasing power parity. =)
