Match That Quote, Big 10 Edition
(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.!

BONUS POINTS: There is a person common to all of these movies; somebody who I'm only two degrees of separation away from. Three bonus points to the first person to correctly identify who it is.

#1 Big Fish, caught by The Brat
"There's a time when a man needs to fight and a time when he needs to accept that his destiny's lost, the ship has sailed and that only a fool will continue. The truth is I've always been a fool."

#2 Monsters, Inc., caught by Jen
"I think I have a plan here: using mainly spoons, we dig a tunnel under the city and release it into the wild."

"Spoons?"

"That's it, I'm out of ideas. We're closed. Hot air balloon? Too expensive. Giant slingshot? Too conspicuous. Enormous wooden horse? Too Greek."

#3 28 Days, caught by phin
"Yeah, I know I drink a lot, I know I do because I'm a writer and that's what I do, I drink. I'm not like those people out there, I can control myself! I can, if - that - if I wanted to, I could, if I wanted. I can! I can!"

#4 Big Daddy, caught by Tiffani
"I'm going through a rough patch in my life right now. Syracuse is 0 and 3. I got those medical problems."

"Medical problems? A cab runs over your foot 2 years ago, you spend one night in the hospital."

"First of all that cab was huge. And a jury decided that one night of pain was worth two hundred thousand dollars, so there ya go."

#5 The Wedding Singer, caught by Rob
"Do you have any experience?"

"No, sir, I have no experience but I'm a big fan of money. I like it, I use it, I have a little. I keep it in a jar on top of my refrigerator. I'd like to put more in that jar. That's where you come in."

#6 The Big Lebowski, caught by Rob
"What do you do for recreation?"

"Oh, the usual. I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback."

#7 Desperado, caught by Rob
"You got something in the guitar case?"

"Yeah."

"What?"

"My guitar."

#8 Billy Madison, caught by shank
"What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

"Okay, a simple no would've done just fine."

#9 Pulp Fiction, caught by Tiffani
"Whose motorcycle is this?"

"It's a chopper, baby."

"Whose chopper is this?"

"It's Zed's."

"Who's Zed?"

"Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead."

#10 The Hudsucker Proxy, caught by Victor
"You punch in at 8:30 every morning, except you punch in at 7:30 following a business holiday, unless it's a Monday, then you punch in at 8 o'clock. Punch in late and they dock you. Incoming articles get a voucher, outgoing articles provide a voucher. Move any article without a voucher and they dock you. Letter size a green voucher, oversize a yellow voucher, parcel size a maroon voucher. Wrong color voucher and they dock you! 6787049A/6. That is your employee number. It will not be repeated! Without your employee number you cannot get your paycheck. Inter-office mail is code 37, intra-office mail 37-3, outside mail is 3-37. Code it wrong and they dock you! This has been your orientation. Is there anything you do not understand, is there anything you understand only partially? If you have not been fully oriented, you must file a complaint with personnel. File a faulty complaint and they dock you!"

#11 Reservoir Dogs, caught by Paul
"When you're dealing with a store like this, they're insured up the ass. They're not supposed to give you any resistance whatsoever. If you get a customer, or an employee, who thinks he's Charles Bronson, take the butt of your gun and smash their nose in. Everybody jumps. He falls down screaming, blood squirts out of his nose, nobody says fucking shit after that. You might get some bitch talk shit to you, but give her a look like you're gonna smash her in the face next, watch her shut the fuck up. Now if it's a manager, that's a different story. Managers know better than to fuck around, so if you get one that's giving you static, he probably thinks he's a real cowboy, so you gotta break that son of a bitch in two. If you wanna know something and he won't tell you, cut off one of his fingers. The little one. Then tell him his thumb's next. After that he'll tell you if he wears ladies underwear. I'm hungry. Let's get a taco."

#12 Coffee and Cigarettes, caught by Dafyd
"Well, Nikola Tesla invented fluorescent light. Without him we wouldn't have alternating current, radio, television... x-ray technology... induction motors, particle beams, lasers; none of that would even exist if it weren't for him."

"Hmm, or the rock band Tesla."

#13 Fargo, caught by Tiffani
"And I guess that was your accomplice in the woodchipper."

Common Element Steve Buscemi, caught by Tiffani

I mean, Office Space is, too, but Hudsucker Proxy is ahead of Office Space!

Posted by: Victor at December 23, 2005 12:59 PM

Oh, and there's a lot of Coen Brothers movies in here, too, so while I think Tiffani is right about Mr. Buscemi, I'm going to say Joel and Ethan Coen is the connection, just in case she's wrong.
