Match That Quote, Limited Edition #6
(Category: Match That Quote )

The rules:

  1. In the extended entry are quotes from 13 movies. Your job is to identify the movie that each quote came from.
  2. Guess as many times as you want, just don't get silly about it.
  3. First person to correctly guess each entry gets a point. If there are any left after 24 hours they are worth 2 points.
  4. As people guess the films I will strike out those entries and note who got it first.
  5. NO cheating!!! That means NO: Google, IMDb, searching my archives etc.!

UPDATE: Holy crap on a stick! I accidentally posted the unedited final version instead of the edited correct version the first time around. If you saw the first version with the answers included please be a sport and sit this one out.

#1 The Truman Show, caught by Dafyd
"If his was more than just a vague ambition, if he was absolutely determined to discover the truth, there's no way we could prevent him."

#2 Batman, caught by Dafyd
"I've been dead once already; it's very liberating. You might think of it as... therapy."

#3 A Beautiful Mind, caught by Tommy
"There has to be a mathematical explanation for how bad that tie is."

#4 The Burbs, caught by Dafyd
"Walter. I know you're in there. That scum-sucking, barking rat of yours has just taken his last dump on my lawn. I find one more- just one- and I'm gonna catch him and staple his ass shut."

#5 The Hulk, caught by Dafyd
"All you've given him is fear. Fear of life."
"Fear. Perhaps. And loneliness, too. Yes. I feel them both. But I have lived completely once. I was so much in love. And she so much wanted a baby. My baby. I could tell from the moment she conceived that it wasn't a son I had given her, but something else. A monster, maybe. I should have put a stop to it right then, but I was curious, and that was my downfall. And as I watched this tiny life unfold, I began to imagine the horror of it, and my curiosity was replaced with compassion. But they took away my chance to cure him. Your father threw me out. I remember that day so well. Every moment. Every sensation. Walking into the house. The feeling of the handle of the knife in my hand. I knew I was doing a father's work, fulfilling a father's mercy... but then she surprised me. It was as if she and the knife merged. You cannot imagine the unbearable finality of it. And in that one moment, I took everything that was dear to me and transformed it into nothing more than a memory."

#6 Young Guns, caught by Kenny
"Damn good riding with you, Chavez."
"Many nights, my friend... Many nights I've put a blade to your throat while you were sleeping. Glad I never killed you, Steve. You're all right..."

#7 About Schmidt, caught by Kenny
"All I was doing was welcoming somebody into the family."
"Larry, we've been welcomed by you, thank you so much, now would you please just drink your fucking milk and shut the fuck up."

#8 The Empire Strikes Back, caught by Tommy
"Oh. I thought they smelled bad on the *outside*."

#9 Superman, caught by Dafyd
"Really, supposing that man had shot you? Is it worth risking your life over ten dollars, two credit cards, a hairbrush, and a lipstick?"
"How did you know that?"
"Know what?"
"You just described the exact contents of my purse."
"Wild guess."

#10 The Lost Boys, caught by MojoMark
"My own brother, a goddamn, shit-sucking vampire."

#11 48 Hours, caught by Kenny
"You said bullshit and experience is all it takes, right?"
"Right."
"Come on in and experience some of my bullshit."

#12 Mr.Mom, caught by Kenny
"I understand that you little guys start out with your woobies and you think they're great... and they are, they are terrific. But pretty soon, a woobie isn't enough. You're out on the street trying to score an electric blanket, or maybe a quilt. And the next thing you know, you're strung out on bedspreads Ken. That's serious."

#13 Beverly Hills Cop, caught by Kenny
"Coffee grounds..."
"So?"
"You know what this stuff is used for?"
"Yeah, some people filter hot water through it and drink it."

Hmm...

Numbers 1-13 correspond to quotes 1-13?

Posted by: Paul at April 27, 2005 09:02 AM

#3 = a beautiful mind (i use that quote!)
#8 = The Empire Strikes back (star wars episode 5)
#10 = From Dusk till Dawn?

2. Pirates of the Carribean
4. Grumpy Old Men
10. Blade (2 or 3?)

(I'm not too sure of any of those guesses, but I'm still working on others...)

Posted by: Clancy at April 27, 2005 10:14 AM

13 - Beverly Hills Cop II
and revise 4. to Grumpier Old Men.

Posted by: Clancy at April 27, 2005 10:16 AM

9 - Superman II

(I'm sensing a theme here)

Posted by: Clancy at April 27, 2005 10:18 AM

Tommy - Correct on #3 and #8. Wrong on #10.

Clancy - Wrong on #2, #4 and #10. Wrong on #13 and on the revised guess for #4. Lastly, wrong on #9.

Wow. I think that's the most wrong guesses we've ever had in one sitting. :-P

Posted by: Jim at April 27, 2005 10:45 AM

Ooh - quote-me-in:

1: The Truman Show
1: Batman (the first one)
5: Hulk
9: Superman (The Movie - as in, the first one)

I watch too many movies...

Posted by: Dafyd at April 27, 2005 11:11 AM

Dafyd - Correct on all counts.

Posted by: Jim at April 27, 2005 11:23 AM

All that education sure is getting me places!

6 - Young Guns

7 - About Schmidt

12 - Mr. Mom

11 - 48 Hours

13 - Beverly Hills Cop

Posted by: Kenny at April 27, 2005 12:07 PM

Kenny - Correctamundo.

Only two left!

Posted by: Jim at April 27, 2005 12:30 PM

Oh, I know, I know...

4: The 'Burbs

Posted by: Dafyd at April 27, 2005 12:49 PM

Correct!

Only #10 left.

Posted by: Jim at April 27, 2005 01:08 PM

#10 - Lost Boys

Posted by: MojoMark at April 27, 2005 01:16 PM

Not Once Bitten ... but is it ... no, not Flat Liners, the younger version ... Lost Boys!

Posted by: Kenny at April 27, 2005 01:17 PM

That's the one! This edition is officially wrapped.

Posted by: Jim at April 27, 2005 01:19 PM

Just to clarify - that last one went to MojoMark, who was slightly faster on the speed dial.

Posted by: Jim at April 27, 2005 01:20 PM

You know, I thought I was a day late. I think I deserve a point for sitting this one out.

Posted by: Victor at April 27, 2005 03:16 PM

You got it, Victor. Anybody else get the cheat sheet version and then sit back grinding your teeth? Let me know. Sportsmanship like that should be rewarded.

Posted by: Jim at April 27, 2005 03:25 PM

I'd admit to getting a cheatsheet version for points, but based on my record number of wrong guesses above (though some were close) I think it's pretty obvious that I didn't cheat. Perhaps some points for the most wrong answers in one effort?

Posted by: Clancy at April 27, 2005 09:32 PM

A booby prize? Why not - I sure do love boobies.

I've got four more personal points to give away. Can anybody else make a convincing argument? Or just a really amusing one?

Posted by: Jim at April 28, 2005 11:52 AM

I'm out of the office at a convention for a couple of days and I miss getting points? damn. I needed those.

Does whining get you point still???????

Posted by: Tiffani at April 29, 2005 11:20 AM

Sure does. Anybody else? I've got three left!

Posted by: Jim at April 29, 2005 11:36 AM

I'm a whiner

Posted by: Holly at May 1, 2005 11:24 PM

And a point richer!

Two left.

Posted by: Jim at May 2, 2005 02:12 PM

Nobody else wants free points? Last chance, I'm shutting the spigot off tomorrow.

Posted by: Jim at May 5, 2005 03:05 PM

Allrightythen. This one's put to bed.
